In the southwest of the territory, a force exceeding a hundred units slowly marched in the region that Mu Yuan named the ‘Snake-man Swamp’.

There were Battle Falcons, and Hurricane War Hawks soaring in the sky. However, the marshland was thick with water plants, and dangers lurked everywhere. It was far from being fully explored by high-altitude reconnaissance of the Battle Falcons.

Snake men, familiar with the environment, were hiding within, suddenly springing from under the marsh. There were also many types of monsters in the marsh itself. Aside from smaller monsters such as the ‘Rotten Walking Corpse’, ‘Mired Worm’, ‘Spike Mouse’, there were also some more troublesome creatures.

Mu Yuan had previously discovered:

Swamp Mud Monster- a creature of immense size, its body resembling soft mud, somewhat like a Big Slime but much more difficult to handle. Their bodily figures almost blended into the swamp, making it extremely hard to notice them unless you come close.

Bloody Vulture—a creature muscular in stature, with countless capillaries exposed on the body, a flying monster that could pose a significant threat to the Battle Falcons.

Moreover, there were Rare Level monsters like the ‘Jet Poison Dragon’, a wandering monster with no fixed dwelling. He could hardly predict where such a troublesome enemy might appear.

However, gradually pushing forward… No, it’s more of stepping steadily and striking confidently.

At the front of the force were the Skeleton Warriors, trudging through the marsh and spread out in the distance, acting as scouts or cannon fodder. Alone, they were sometimes dragged into the marsh by Swamp Mud Monsters or surrounded and killed by lurking Snake man squads, but they also alerted the troops behind them.

What’s more important is

When the Dead Bone walked past, a wisp of black smoke floated down.

“Revive, my comrades.”

A few of the fallen Skeleton Warriors were resurrected, leaving the army unharmed and ready to march on.

At this moment, inside the Snake man tribe, the great Snake man chieftain stood in front of a massive totem pole, his hands behind his back.

“Praise the Orochi.”

He murmured.

Unlike the other snake men who merely followed their instincts, he ‘awakened’ one day, understood how to think and manage, and held ambitions.

Thus, the snake man leader Ghost Chief started his legendary path.

He led the snake men in his camp to scour for treasures, and once the overall strength of the camp increased, he led his forces to defeat and annex the other two snake man camps nearby.

Ghost Chief consolidated three snake man camps to create a tribal-level gathering place, declared himself the Grand Lord of Snake man, and gradually wiped out powerful monster powers around him, commanding all in his presence.

Now, his Snake man tribe has become the undisputed ruler of the eastern part of the marshland.

The Ghost Chief knew that all these were gifts from the Orochi, and he would respond to the Orochi’s anticipation.

A few days ago, he received the revelation from the Orochi that the new chosen one had arrived.

“Two, we’ve discovered two territories of the chosen ones so far.”

One was quite far away and his scouts only glimpsed it from a distance. The other was quite close, just outside the marshland, but this one’s defense was formidable.

After probing, the Ghost Chief decided to postpone the final attack-not that he was ignoring the command of Orochi, but just not wanting his own tribe to suffer unwarranted losses.

He had planned to wait for the day when the red fog envelops, and everything is boiling, then lead the tribal army to attack, using the power of other monsters to complete the Orochi’s command. Unexpectedly, the foolish chosen lord came straight to him.

“This is wonderful!”

“This marsh will be their graveyard.”

A snake-man wizard came in, hissing, “Reporting to the chief…”

“Call me the Grand Lord!”

“Yes, Grand Lord, we have, as per your command, arranged for our people to ambush at various places in the marshland and even lured some monsters over. We have already started eroding the enemy’s main force, killing a two-digit number of enemies.”

The snake-man wizard actually couldn’t speak and only hissed, but the Grand Lord Ghost Chief, with his high snake-count and wisdom, managed to comprehend and sort out this information.

Indeed, everything happened just as he had predicted.

“By the time the enemy reaches the entrance of the tribe after a great deal of hardship, nothing more than exhausted remnants of an army would remain, heh heh heh…”

Two hours later,

The Ghost Chief, supreme commander of the Snakemen, gazed into the distance at the vast army at least several hundred strong advancing in an orderly fashion, deep in thought.

Something’s off!

It’s really off!

But what exactly is off?

The leading front of the Skeleton Warriors pointed their weapons forward great dollops of Silver Slimes fell from the sky, and an abundant amount of Skeleton Monsters were stationed within and outside the military formation, gradually advancing.

Some of the Skeleton Monsters had even constructed platforms three to four meters high, with human Strong Shooters standing on top, no arrow fired in vain, effortlessly taking down his soldiers.

And he could vaguely see that some of the skeletal structures of the Skeleton Monsters resembled Snakemen.

Ghost Chief:”???”

Mu Yuan: Thanks for the bones that were generously handed over in great distances.

Resurrecting a large number of Skeleton Monsters for show, and bringing a lot of Skeleton Warriors back to life, was a heavy toll on the Dead Bone. However, if this consumption is spread over a period of more than two hours, the Dead Bone would be able to restore itself to its peak state through various basic potions.

The rest of the main force was also almost at their peak state.

There were no war drums, no sounding of the horn. The silent determination of who ruled the twenty to thirty kilometers radius territory was on the verge of breaking loose.

“Charge!”

The fearless Skeleton Warriors slowly advanced, ruthlessly launching their Bone Spears at the Snakemen Archers standing on the watchtowers in the distance.

However, the defensive setup of the Snake man tribe could be described as impregnable.

The tribe was located on elevated terrain, with a murky and tranquil river in front, thick aquatic grass hiding the killers beneath. Behind was a highland piled up with mud and rocks, where watchtowers, arrow towers, and even siege equipment were placed and built.

The watchtower and arrow tower had strong sheltered positions, and the outer ring of the tribe was packed with rock formations, a few meters high, leaving only one narrow path that few Snakemen could pass to wind towards the interior of the tribe.

Under these circumstances, it would be challenging to succeed with only long-range attacks, and if an all-out attack was launched, quite a few soldiers would undoubtedly be buried here.

Mu Yuan’s original battle plan was to launch a surprise attack and sandwich the Dead Bone.

But now…

The Skeleton Warriors and Strong Shooters created a far-off distraction around the tribe, while the Dead Bone led a group of Skeleton Monsters to launch the real attack.

Boulders rolled down from above, and giant snakes shot out from the murky river, smashing the Skeleton Monsters into pieces.

The original intention of creating Undead Revival by Dead Bone was merely to avoid seeing his companions die. Naturally, the Skeleton Monsters resurrected were not powerful and fell one after another during the charge.

Dead Bone, clad in silver armor and a waving black cloak, looked tiny and insignificant, like an irretrievable brave man, in front of the huge rocks and many towering watchtowers and arrow towers.

But only for this moment!

In the next second, it was as if time had frozen. The shattered bones hung suspended in mid-air and moved towards Dead Bone half a second later. The charging Skeleton Monsters also disintegrated in that instant, their parts scattered in mid-air and reassembled.

Resurrecting Skeleton Monsters for the show was just a smokescreen. The real purpose was to allow Dead Bone to conserve the use of ‘Withered Bone Land’ at this time, both as a trump card and to save a significant amount of energy.

Everything was going as planned.

Dead Bone charged in the form of a giant beast.

The Giant Beast from Deathremains that was formed in the blink of an eye. Its heavy limbs landed on the ground, splattering countless muddy turbid water. It advanced step by step, unfazed by the swirling arrows and flying stones hitting its body. It waded across the turbid stream that only reached up to its legs, unflusteredly raising its forepaw and striking it down forcefully..
