Chapter 366: Night raid on birdmen (one)
The Arctic Tigerfolk kingdom, Ice Palace.
Maulclaw burst through the door in a panic. Ruby shot him a puzzled look.
"It's not good, Queen. All the strongholds built by those Beastman Empires on the border of our territory have been destroyed. The Arctic Tigerfolk who went to investigate also found the bodies of several Gnolls. I guess they should be envoys sent by the Beastman Empire."
"How dare they act without Alex's order?!"
Ruby was startled. She could guess who killed these Beastmen even if Maulclaw didn't tell her.
She didn't expect them to take the initiative to attack the Beastman Empire!
"Queen, let's go and support the undead empire quickly. Now the war is inevitable!"
Maulclaw was also a little surprised by the sudden intervention of the undead, and at the same time, he felt a little excited.
Although Alex said that he would only accept their submission and would not care about them, now that the Arctic Tigerfolk were really in trouble, the undead still took action without hesitation.
"No, I have to go to Xiao Hui first. Against the powerful Beastman Empire, she will die. That idiot, she really thinks she is the undead lord? Alex is not here."
Ruby stood up directly, but just as she was about to leave, Death Spirit floated in directly through the gate.
"Xiao Hui is the Acting Lord appointed by the undead queen, and she is also a race king. Now that the undead queen is not here, her order is the queen's order."
Death Spirit's ethereal and dead voice echoed in the hall, and at the same time blocked Ruby's way.
"Death Spirit, why are you doing this?!"
Ruby asked loudly, while Maulclaw on the side breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Ruby would mess around.
"You will always be one of us, and the undead queen will not abandon her companions. In this battle with the Beastman Empire, the Arctic Tigerfolk don't have to participate in the battle. The losses in this battle are immeasurable. If you Arctic Tigerfolk really want to help, you can do what you can.
These are the original words of the Acting Lord, and I am responsible for conveying them on her behalf."
Death Spirit repeated the words that Xiao Hui had already told her and told Ruby.
"The Beastman Empire has blocked the undead empire's expansion. It was inevitable that they would clash, and this conflict has simply come sooner than expected. By the way, this is just my point of view."
After saying that, Death Spirit's figure disappeared directly into the hall, leaving only a confused Specter. She didn't know what happened, so she could only obediently pass through the wall and fly out of the palace.
Ruby froze in place, at a loss, and the entire hall fell into a long silence...
On the other side, the southern border of the Beastman Empire, which was also the current location of Xiao Mu and others.
Strictly speaking, this place belonged to the junction of the three races. From the Frostwind snowy mountain to the west and the Barren Plains to the north, this place belonged to the territory of the Beastman Empire.
The reason why the Beastman Empire had always been in dispute with humans was that the territories of the two were adjacent. The Beastmen often hunted down the weak races that fled to the human territory, thus causing conflicts with humans.
Although humans did not bully the weak, they happened to be the ones who disliked and disgusted the creatures born from the interbreeding of humans and beasts the most among all races.
Xiao Mu stood on a high ground, looked down at the distance, then lowered his head and thought for a while.
"This place is now located at the junction of the Starfallen Empire and the Beastman Empire. We have to go further inside, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of humans when we fight. If humans find us, it will be troublesome."
Xiao Mu said, although the overall strength of their side was stronger than the fifteen King level troops led by Xiao Hui, the enemies he had to face would be stronger.
"Well, I think so too. The territory we currently belong to should be in charge of the birdmen. The first thing to deal with is definitely them. I hope Torin's strength can bring us surprises."
Drake looked serious. It was only a matter of time before he faced an Emperor level enemy in a war with a powerful force like the Beastman Empire. Now he could only believe in Torin's strength.
The battle with the Beastman Empire was very important to the undead empire. Originally, Xiao Hui's order was to let Drake continue to be in charge of Dragon City, but Drake felt that one more person would be more powerful, and he was willing to contribute to the development of the undead empire.
Under Drake's strong request, Xiao Hui agreed to let him come to assist Xiao Mu.
Drake and Xiao Mu continued to advance into the territory of the Beastman Empire. They passed by several small cities and strongholds along the way, all of which were cleverly bypassed by them.
It wasn't until night that they came to a narrow valley, and at the end of the valley was a vast plain. There was a city on the plain, which was one of the main gathering places of the birdmen.
From here, it officially entered the core area of the Beastman Empire.
There would be more Beastmen inside, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and even digging holes. There were all kinds of races. Entering rashly would greatly increase the probability of being discovered.
"Let's build the undead fortress here. Our first goal is to capture this city."
Xiao Mu looked at the city in the distance and said, both of them had already made a plan, and destroying the city in front of them was only the first step.
"Okay, it stands to reason that, except for a very small number of eagles and falcons, most birdmen should have no night vision ability. Night actions are just right for us."
Of course, this was just Drake's guess. Maybe the birdmen had evolved some special abilities.
In order to reduce the risk to the lowest level, Xiao Mu didn't waste any time. He directly took out a Fortress Essence Shard from the space ring and clicked on the construction. Then the two quickly disappeared into the valley.
In the next second, a huge undead fortress rose from the ground, emitting strong death energy. Some small animals resting in the valley heard the movement and fled in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, the undead in the undead Imperial Capital received the news and began to pour into the main fortress.
In an instant, tens of thousands of gargoyles poured out, took to the sky, covering the stars and the moon, and swarmed towards the distant city like locusts crossing a border.
To deal with the birdmen, of course, air force had to be used.
The birdmen in the city were still sound asleep, unaware that danger was approaching. The gargoyles quickly spread throughout the city, breaking through the windows and killing all the birdmen who were still sleeping.
By the time they reacted, it was too late.
The birdmen flew up into the sky one after another to meet the unknown enemy, but at this moment, the city had already suffered heavy losses, and there were corpses everywhere.
The chief in charge of being stationed in the city was a King level birdman. It let out a sharp whistle and instantly killed the gargoyles that were besieging it.
The chief birdman seemed to have the upper hand, but its move directly exposed it. Next, it would face the siege of thirteen King level gargoyles!
