Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 604 - 33 - Pyramid Altar_2

This thing, it’s indeed hard for ordinary people to imagine before experiencing it.

Lin Rui didn’t believe that anyone would have thought about the Golden Pansy Domain’s shortcomings in restricting the underground army’s guerrilla warfare before today.

But this issue doesn’t pose much threat to the Golden Pansy Domain army, after all, the main trait of the family army is being tough and resilient, not particularly worrying about surprise attacks. Fixing this shortcoming in the future would be sufficient.

Lin Rui temporarily put this matter aside and asked Audrey, "What’s the deal with these Ancient Tomb Giant Scorpions? This is the Underground City, theoretically speaking, there shouldn’t be ancient tombs here, right?"

Although the Underground City is a civilized plane, it has significant differences compared to the surface world.

The most important point is that things like ancient tombs typically exist in empires and kingdoms.

And the underground world rarely constructs such things. Therefore, the Tombyard influence usually exists on the surface and is not associated with the underground world.

The two usually don’t interfere with one another. The Graveyard generally is in constant conflict with humans and academies.

Meanwhile, the Underground City often engages in wars with elves, as the World Tree roots spread everywhere, frequently reaching into the Underground City. Elves often delve into the Underground City for battles to maintain their World Tree roots, ensuring they can transport their army strategically across the world at any time.

Audrey explained, "These Ancient Tomb Giant Scorpions are the blockade I encountered while tracking that mysterious force. They are coming more frequently, indicating that we’re getting closer to their core."

"You’ve been pursuing them for so long? Have you acquired any understanding of them?" Lin Rui glanced at the rear of the army, with a trail of ruins and signs of burning. Clearly, the army was charging through, explaining why so many merits were achieved.

Audrey confidently said, "I have a rough understanding! According to my knowledge, this Underground City block is fragmented into approximately nine zones. We are in this area called Zone 2, located in the middle of the Underground City. The map’s north is Zone 3, southwest is Zone 1, southeast is Zone 5. It’s said that undead are active in these four zones, and the people we are tracking are part of the undead. However, they call themselves Sandmen, living dead guarding the undead tombs. As such, they can recruit various peculiar creatures from the ancient tombs, including Anubis Warriors with kobold heads, Mummy Warriors wrapped entirely in burial cloth, enormous Undead Sphinx beasts, and even Mechanical Holy Titans."

Divine Titan?

From the name, its combat power is immense and troublesome.

Audrey then asked, "Father, don’t you find it peculiar? Why are there so many undead in the underground world, entirely different from the surface? If it were the main undead forces, why don’t they submit to Emperor Setra? If they weren’t the main undead forces, how could they have existed in the Underground City for so long, active in four zones without being eradicated by the Underground City forces?"

That’s reasonable.

Lin Rui glanced at the system prompt.

[Ding, congratulations to the Explorer’s army for winning a medium-sized battle, all members received 3,000 battlefield experience. Explorer’s Plane War Reputation +30, Plane War Merit +30. Obtained Resource Pack (Medium) *1.]

[Ding, battlefield cleaning complete, obtained Spirit Crystal Coin *1258, Gem *1125, Vibranium *22541]

[Ding, acquired Legendary Weapon *12]

[Ding, obtained Golden Treasure Chest *3]

[Ding, received Tier Six Spiritual Gem *7]

[Ding, received Heroic Spirit Recruitment Scroll [Doomsday Knight] *6]

Lin Rui directly threw the six Doomsday Knight Recruitment Scrolls to Audrey. The Doomsday Knight is an upgraded version of the Terror Knight, all possessing Heroic Spirit level combat power, quite formidable. Further advancement would nearly reach the level of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

This Heroic Spirit level combat power would strengthen any army’s fighting ability. Audrey would rather give up some low-tier Skeleton Fear Demons to free up Command Value to control the Doomsday Knights.

Lin Rui clicked his tongue; the wealth from these dozens of Ancient Tomb Giant Scorpions’ blast fall is astonishing.

And merely dozens of Giant Beasts rated as a medium-sized battle.

One must know that previous battles involving thousands of people were merely classified as small-sized battles in the system rating.

It’s clear that these Ancient Tomb Giant Scorpions are not only powerful but also astonishingly affluent.

Violet asked, "Could it be that these dozens of Ancient Tomb Giant Scorpions are being commanded by someone behind them?"

"Are you suggesting there’s a hero commanding them?" Lin Rui asked.

Violet immediately nodded.

Lin Rui frowned slightly, another hero?

Lin Rui hadn’t fought against many heroes in the Azure Realm, apart from the Green Skins spawned by [Territorial Essence], he had genuinely fought heroes only three times, once against the initial Little Fishman Hero, once against the Ogre, and the third ambushed by Kazak outside the Haunted Forest. The last one wasn’t even targeted at him initially, leading to a misunderstanding and consequent battle between both sides.

Besides these few wild encounters, he hadn’t seen a formal force’s commanding hero at other times.

But upon entering the Colonization Star, he had already encountered several heroes active within the Tombyard influence.

There were excessively many heroes.

Lin Rui was somewhat curious and asked, "Where did they get so many heroes? It can’t be that heroes can be recruited in bulk, can they?"

Audrey energetically said, "Oh my, why think so much? We’ll know when we charge up there, won’t we? We’re stronger than before now. If they dare to deploy the Sea of the Dead, we’ll use the Dark Angel to blast all the minions apart."

That’s burning money! Sister!

No matter how many monsters you blast apart, you’ll pretty much burn that many Spirit Crystal Coins.

If the opponent sends out billions of monsters, even with the Dark Angel, Lin Rui couldn’t afford the war expenditure.

Audrey was extremely straightforward, unwilling to think further, directly waved her hand, and her immense army started arraying for march.

She sat on Death’s Wings laughing merrily, "If the opponent has a bunch of heroes, it might be a good thing! My troops need a few low-tier undead heroes to help command, let’s kill! Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Her army truly had no emotions, conquering city after city, any obstructing architecture or armies were flattened.

With her Commander’s ability, no one could halt her army’s advancing pace.

The enemy army valiantly tried a few blockades but were all overwhelmed by her towering army.

After a few attempts, failing to stop her, the opponent completely abandoned the blockade.

Audrey’s army smoothly advanced into Zone 5!

To enter Zone 5 from Zone 2, one must pass through a long canyon, with air forces, aerial cavalry, and warships patrolling above, the enemy had no plans for ambush in the canyon. Such narrow terrain would only lead to any ambush getting bombarded by the air forces, clearing everything with magic.

It doesn’t suit unleashing the undead’s large-scale advantage, but it fits the advance of an elite army.

Thus, the Golden Pansy Domain army smoothly crossed the canyon, led by warships under the protection of Giant Dragons and aerial cavalry, they first traversed through the canyon area into the broad plains of Zone 5.

The moment the army emerged from the canyon, countless people took a deep breath.

Because the scene before them was extremely breathtaking, especially after enduring the long canyon march, the contrast with the current setting was more pronounced.

Upon the army stepping out of the canyon, the view opened up suddenly, ahead was a vast, sinister desert. This desert was shrouded in darkness, without a trace of sunlight, the sky filled with dense, purplish-black clouds.

And in this desert, countless towering pyramids arose, forming bizarre twisted cities. These pyramids were unlike traditional structures but were constructed from sharp black rocks piled up. Their dark and dull exterior glimmered with eerie blood-red light, resembling demonic cities.

The desert air was filled with a pungent sulfuric smell, causing suffocation and unease. Amidst these pyramids were countless eerie monsters, devoutly bowing towards an altar!
