The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923 Undead Engagement

Karl led the group down from the fort, and Rae sealed the entrance with Overlord Ranked sticky silk, so they didn't have unwanted visitors before they came back at the end of the day.

The armies were already moving into deployment positions, so Karl led them to an open position on the left flank, just behind the front lines, and had everyone call all their summons, while Lotus transformed into the Tree of Life.

Their presence brought over multiple doctors and nurses, who set up in the area of effect under Lotus' branches. But not everyone was as happy to see them.

"You do realize that the Undead will take the presence of that tree as a giant 'fuck you' to them, right?" One of the Sergeants near their position asked.

"They forgot 'and everyone who looks like you', but I will take the sentiment. Having a powerful dedicated healing station here will help prevent the flank from being overrun. Don't worry about it too much, we will send our golems to assist the line." Karl replied.

A few golems were not going to be equivalent to all the extra attention that they were going to draw, especially with a whole army of mages incoming.

Mages who were likely to be using Golems themselves.

Tessa and Delilah were practically glowing with energy already, and the battle hadn't even started. If anything, that was not a good sign. But when Nachtia began to shimmer with a faint black mist, it didn't take a genius to realize that someone, very near to them, was completely and immeasurably screwed.

The battle started in the bay, with the ships bombarding the city walls as they approached, and the Demons flying out to meet them.

The mages summoned tens upon tens of thousands of golems, and the attack on land began, but the energy around the war and death gods' acolytes was only growing,

[Can I start yet?] Hawk asked, circling high above in the clouds.

[Not yet. Something is about to happen. Once it does, then we attack.] Karl replied.

Seconds later, a massive portal opened over the city, instantly dumping seawater and undead into the walls of Bagaandormen.

Karl and Cara were both ready for the sneak attack, but their attempts to dispel the power of the portal were no more than drops in a bucket to the power that was being deployed to keep it open.

Delilah and Nachtia both burst into dragon form and channelled energy into the efforts to close the portal, but even then, they could only make the edges waver a little as seawater and zombies poured into the city from fifty metres in the air.

"The one spot nobody ever looks for an enemy? Deep underwater. The perfect spot to hide an entire army of undead." Dana muttered.

With the basement bunkers of the city mostly flooded, the civilians would be forced out into the streets or the upper levels of their houses, where the undead horde could find them. And the horde was no small threat.

Every undead that could be controlled by the thousands of Necromancers in this army should now be inside the city, and the screams echoed over the battlefield, even as the first plumes of smoke from a city being ransacked began.
