Chapter 303 163: The Great War is Imminent

Once the Undead Fortress's Warehouse was reconnected with the resource points, a massive amount of resources came flooding in—so much that Li Ziyu was smiling so wide his eyes practically vanished.

The Undead Fortress returned to its original position and stopped, re-rooting itself as if it had never left.

According to the intelligence Zhang Peng had obtained, the Cancerous Tumor Alliance Army was less than a ten-day journey from the Wraith Mountain Range. They would be descending on them soon, so Li Ziyu began his preparations.

The days that followed were quite ordinary. Li Ziyu prepared to face the Cancerous Tumor Corps, reinforcing his Warriors and expanding the Skeleton Undead Corps to fifteen. Ten of these corps were commanded by Skeleton Warriors, while the remaining five were reserve corps, ready to be deployed to the battlefield at any time.

Li Ziyu didn't care how powerful the Cancerous Tumor Corps was; he was going to prepare as much as he possibly could. The scale of his investment this time was absolutely terrifying.

Not to mention the number of troops Liu Xingxing and Zhang Peng had prepared, Li Ziyu's forces alone consisted of ten regular Skeleton Undead Corps totaling one million troops, five reserve Skeleton Undead Corps with 500,000 troops, and one Alien Undead Corps with 80,000 troops.

As for his other forces, he had over 1,000 Skeleton Longbowmen, 1,000 Skeleton Short Bowmen, 3,000 Elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warriors, and 1,000 Giant Skeleton Warriors. Li Ziyu also replenished his Skeleton Hammer Warriors, bringing their numbers up to 3,000.

This battle between the Cancerous Tumor Corps and the Undead was a matter of great concern for the many Tribes in the Wasteland. They realized this fight could very well change the entire power structure of the region.

If the Cancerous Tumor Alliance Army won, their fame would surely skyrocket. Perhaps the future rulers of this land would be the three Races: goblins, the Headhunter Race, and Lizardmen.

But if the Undead won, the consequences were uncertain. They didn't know much about the Undead, but every Tribe had its legends. The Cancerous Tumor Alliance Army had angered the Undead. If the Alliance Army was defeated, the Undead might do just as the legends said and sweep across the entire Wasteland. They would witness the legendary "White Tide."

Every Tribe of any significant size sent out its scouts, ordering them to closely monitor the developing battle and report back with the utmost speed.

The attention of the entire Wasteland was now completely focused on this event.

It wasn't just eyes in the Wasteland, either. Even on the system forums, posts had started appearing about the impending war between the Undead and the Alliance Army. Zhang Peng was the first to notice and informed Li Ziyu.

Li Ziyu wasn't surprised. 'The scale of this battle is pretty huge. The Transmigrators aren't idiots, and plenty of them are just here for the drama, living off Otherworld gossip. It's only natural they'd be watching us. Anyway, as long as they don't interfere with the battlefield, it's all fine.'

A war involving millions couldn't be hidden; battle reports were bound to appear. It was just like that recent report from the Wasteland's Central Zone about another large-scale battlefield. Millions were clashing there as well, with a Transmigrator Alliance Army on one side and the native Otherworld's Central Ratmen on the other.

The outcome had been tragic. The Transmigrator Alliance Army hadn't won; in fact, they were brutally defeated. Not only were their losses immense, but several City Lords had also fallen in battle. Meanwhile, the Ratmen used this great war to elevate their prestige to its zenith, their power now like the midday sun.

'In comparison, my battle of Undead versus the Cancerous Tumor Alliance Army is a minor affair.'

Time flew by. The Cancerous Tumor Alliance Army drew ever closer to the Wraith Mountain Range and had already begun to dispatch scouts and a Vanguard Army. Li Ziyu, in turn, arranged his Undead Corps into battle formation, waiting for the enemy's arrival. At the same time, he sent out Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing to intercept and eliminate the enemy's scouts and vanguard. 'Can't just let them waltz right in and steal all our intel, can I?'
