Ping ling pang lang…

Aboard the warship, every weapon wielded by everyone had fallen to the ground.

Fight to the death alongside Lin Qian?

Looking at it now, their earlier words seemed somewhat ridiculous!

They now fully understood why Lin Qian had been calm from beginning to end, saying that he would handle everything.

Why Lin Qian had always emphasized, when discussing with them, that they needed to handle the Dwarf Ghost Clan and the Giant Ghost Clan on their own, otherwise it wouldn’t hone their self-confidence.

They had wondered why Lin Qian’s help wouldn’t foster their own growth.

Now they realized, in front of such an army, the Dwarf Ghost Clan and the Giant Ghost Clan were simply not significant. Just a blink of an eye, and they could have been exterminated.

Keep in mind that this army of undead now numbered thirty million, each one at the Sky Breaking Realm!

The general in the black dragon silver armor had roared clearly, indicating that the fully armed troops only numbered ten million.

Ten million against thirty million, under normal circumstances, the latter would have the greater chance of winning, holding the advantage.

In reality, the undead army that was thrice the number of the Huaxia Empire’s forces was being completely overrun, with almost no power to resist.

"It’s very strange that while the undead army keeps adjusting, any slight move they make is immediately thwarted by His Majesty’s army, as if the Emperor can foresee their actions," Liu Wei said, curiously standing on the warship.

Li Yi also nodded silently: "Indeed, it’s as if there is an invisible hand controlling the army. Any move the undead army makes is completely laughable."

"Moreover, the sudden appearance of His Majesty’s troops, their coordination is too strong," Qian Ling took a deep breath, astonished.

While the humans aboard the warship were surprised, Lu Shangda in the dark hall to the north was extremely frustrated and anxious.

"How could this be, it makes no sense!" Inside the hall, Lu Shangda, who had taken over the body of the Black Blood Royal Family, had lost his prior arrogance and complacency, and his originally joyful heart was filled with anxiety.

Borrowing the body of the Black Blood Royal Family enabled Lu Shangda to freely control the thirty million-strong undead army. At the same time, he could clearly feel the army opposite of Lin Qian indeed numbered only ten million.

Yet, the situation was completely one-sided.

Frustration was the biggest feeling for Lu Shangda.

In a head-on conflict, they were utterly crushed, it was simply unreasonable!

Those men holding huge shields and as muscular as bears, standing there like impregnable copper walls and iron barriers, were insurmountable. Moreover, directly behind them, the spearmen with their long spears would suddenly thrust forward.

Below and on the ground, with swordsmen and axemen covering, the powerful undead axemen would agilely block for the swordsmen. It was watertight, impossible to break through.

As for the heavens, they were suppressed by the bowmen, forcibly forcing the undead army to clash with the other four types of troops.

There were also the Swift Soldiers, phantoms that appeared out of nowhere; when a limb was severed or an undead was missed, they emerged to deliver the coup de grâce.

No matter what arrangements Lu Shangda made, or how he tried to manipulate his forces, even if a single undead showed an anomaly, it would be discovered and stopped.

And his trump cards, two Blood Nourishing Corpses at the Life and Death Realm, Body Realm, if they could take action against the army, they would definitely affect the battle situation. Numbers in the face of absolute strength could be effective, but to a very limited extent.

Yet, a single individual at the Ninth Level of the Sky Breaking Realm managed to block both Blood Nourishing Corpses, even gaining the upper hand!

The undead army was not without its advantages; fearlessly savage, solely focused on slaughter, with formidable bodies, and their combat strength was even stronger than when they were alive.

It was precisely this feature that allowed the ancestors of the Black Blood Clan to defeat the Dynasty in the past.

The undead could indeed fight to the death, even if it meant mutual destruction, which was a tactic that cost the Black Blood Clan nothing. But the army of the Dynasty was different, as the soldiers and commanders were human, of course they would fear.

```

In front of Lin Qian’s army, that sole feature vanished.

Lin Qian’s Imperial Army looked to Lu Shangda with absolutely no fear in their cold eyes. They were less like humans and more like frigid instruments of war.

Of course, Lu Shangda wouldn’t know that although the soldiers of the Huaxia Empire had flesh and blood and resembled the living, they were actually akin to puppets with artificial intelligence.

Fight to the death?

Mutual destruction?

Bring it on. Who’s afraid? After all, when a soldier died, all the Empire had to do was use the Soul Crystals produced nowadays as raw material for manufacture.

Moreover, the so-called Blood Nourishing Corpses were incapable of causing mutual destruction.

The Blood Nourishing Corpses were, after all, created using soul skills by Lu Shangda, the master of this body. The original material was of course the outer disciples of the Dangyuan Sect.

The Cultivation Realms of the outer disciples varied, as did their physical conditions.

So, the Blood Nourishing Corpses had both weak and strong among them, although Lu Shangda had already organized them into various teams based on their strength, size, and preferred combat style. However, they were a joke in front of Lin Qian’s army.

The soldiers of each branch were of absolutely identical build, with very similar faces, and each had a clear division of labor.

"A million men with the same Soul Power attribute, their coordination is such that they seem like a million brothers. Humans can indeed reproduce, but damn it, how could there be a human woman capable of birthing an entire army?!"

Lu Shangda was on the verge of losing his mind as he could only watch powerlessly as the numbers of the Blood Nourishing Corpses were drastically reduced.

The enemy troops were as if a single entity, like a steel monster tearing and devouring the Blood Nourishing Corpses.

The battle was settled, the victor decided.

Seeing Zhao Long slay the Blood Nourishing Corpses refined from Moer, the golden light in Lin Qian’s eyes faded. He no longer needed to rely on the "Imperial Eyes" to observe the entire battlefield and adjust the million-man squad.

The invisible hand spoken of by Li Yi, was in fact Lin Qian himself.

With the Imperial Eyes opened, Lin Qian could fully observe every detail of the whole battlefield, even the movements of an individual soldier.

At the same time, seated upon the Nine Dragon Throne, Lin Qian could directly control the army with his mind, just like in the nation wars of the games from his previous life.

Lin Qian’s dominance in his past life wasn’t just because he was a Huaxia Coin warrior who spent a lot of money. After all, there were other rich players, but what really set him apart was his control over details during major battles.

He was rich, willful, and skilled!

The level of control the otherworldly being had over the Blood Nourishing Corpses army was baby-like in Lin Qian’s eyes. He could easily wipe out an army of a million.

In the Small World of Origin State, things were approaching an end, yet outside, Ye Xin and the others were still deeply anxious.

"Don’t worry. Since there are a hundred thousand followers in this battleship, and since he’s built a battleship in that Small World, there must be at least a hundred thousand there too. What’s there to worry about?" Seeing Ye Xin’s concerned expression, Wei Wushuang, with his hands clasped behind his back, reassured.

Ye Xin shook her head slightly, "Senior Wei, that’s not how it can be said. Lin Qian mentioned that this is the main battleship, so it has a hundred thousand defenders. The secondary battleships only have a mere hundred."

"I’m afraid that Lin Qian only has a hundred men to use, but he is facing the otherworldly beings from the Life and Death Realm."

Ye Xin’s words made Wei Wushuang see reason, and as he looked towards the direction of the Wanxiang Sect, worry couldn’t help but surface.

Only a hundred men?

If Lu Shangda was aware of Ye Xin and Wei Wushuang’s worries, he would swear profusely.

Let me explain the slower updates these past few days. The plot is about to enter the next phase. However, upon reviewing the original outline, I encountered some issues, and changes and reconsiderations have taken up time.

To make it up to everyone, I will continue to release more chapters vigorously up until New Year’s Eve.
