Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101

The first wave of battle ended amid the pursuit and killing. The sandpeople were simply too numerous, and due to a lack of organization and discipline, after the battle, Du You discovered that the sandpeople killed amounted to less than a third of this group.

"It seems I need to design a specific combat method for these refugee armies."

After the battle had ended, Du You muttered to himself. Then, Du You began discussing with others. He knew that his strength lay in overpowering battles with sheer power; when it came to military matters, he could manage with tricks but direct command was not his forte. Fortunately, he had quite a few subordinates to use.

Now, several military commanders from Shenghai Kingdom were already being mobilized from the back.

If things weren’t so hectic, Shaliya herself might have come in person.

In the previous two battles, because the enemy did not know that this side had so many skeletons, they approached the battle as they would against humans, and this ignorance led to such favorable outcomes, but that wouldn’t work going forward.

With so many sandpeople fleeing, the existence of a large number of skeleton regiments and monster troops on this side would definitely be exposed.

"So, the next plan is to hide part of them while using the rest to attract attention."

"Exactly, the sandpeople’s vanguard is basically refugees, so dealing with these people doesn’t require many tricks, and the upper class of the sandpeople won’t value them. Therefore, this method should suffice. To avoid surprises, we have also designed some contingency plans." These plans, unknown whether they would be utilized yet.

Du You nodded, "Alright then, let’s do it your way. Next, I’ll hand over the command of these skeletons to you, you can distribute them, set up lower officers, and discuss the battle matters amongst yourselves."

Du You was responsible for creating skeletons; this time, numerous corpses of wild wolves and sandpeople were turned by Du You into Demonic Flame Skeletons, which doubled their forces in number, albeit with worse quality.

The Demon Extermination Spirit couldn’t have its command delegated, so Lin Yushi could only participate in the battle.

The subsequent battle was very similar to before, with a large number of skeletons and the Demon Extermination Spirits unabashedly stationed at the mountain pass. Upon seeing these entities, the enemy’s refugee army stopped, not daring to advance.

But once the refugee army gathered to a certain extent, they had no choice but to attack.

Sandpeople required less supplies, but still needed food; gathered in such numbers, if they couldn’t continue forward, they would starve. As for retreating, the regular army behind them would not let them.

Moreover, as a large number of sandpeople refugee regiments kept nearing this area, nearby oases were nearly depleted.

Even if they retreated, there was no way to obtain food; ultimately the sandpeople only had the choice to attack.

As the sandpeople advanced, they faced the allied forces of skeletons and Demon Extermination Spirits at the forefront. When the sandpeople fully entered the range, a large number of Demon Extermination Spirits and Demonic Flame Skeletons suddenly emerged from under their feet.

This move completely threw the sandpeople’s group into chaos. Du You didn’t even need to use other combat methods; just this one tactic scattered the refugee regiment entirely, followed by a series of pursuits.

Throughout this process, Lin Yushi continuously created Demon Extermination Spirits to make the chaotic troops even more disordered. Meanwhile, parts of Demonic Flame Skeletons and Demon Extermination Spirits on the battlefield gathered corpses, all delivered to Du You’s presence. Although the battle continued at the front, Du You had already created a large number of new Demonic Flame Skeletons at the rear.

In the end, Luo Jia had no choice but to continuously split his troops and also mobilized a large number of commanders from the rear.

"It’s a pity, these Demonic Flame Skeletons really need me here to command properly; if I’m not in this place, it won’t be easy for others to command them," Du You said while watching the battlefield.

Under the command of many, the skeleton regiments, originally meant to serve as cannon fodder, became tactically adept and highly aesthetic to watch. For commanders, such absolutely obedient soldiers who fear no death were favorites. Not to mention, these soldiers were quite strong and did not require logistics.

"Hurry, gather the things and come over here; those over there, quickly transport them back," shouted a person from the logistics nearby.

Although the sandpeople were in the desert with scarce food and biological resources, their mineral resources were quite substantial. Every person had a hefty long-blade weapon.

Though the sandpeople’s smelting levels were lacking, these long blades, once melted down, were premium materials.

Shenghai Kingdom, now undergoing massive construction, badly needed a lot of steel. Not only technological constructions needed steel; the magical-style constructions also had a huge demand for steel.

After a wave of hunting, a large number of skeletons and Demon Extermination Spirits, based on various calculations, again burrowed into different ground spots, then continued to wait for the next wave. Over the next period, waves of sandpeople refugee regiments kept arriving.

The Demon Extermination Spirits started to dissipate continuously from three days later, batch by batch. But the skeletons created by Du You still existed, and their numbers grew larger. As time passed, Du You discovered the number of skeletons in his possession had reached millions, which meant millions of corpses.

Aside from some desert wolves, at least a third were sandpeople.

It must be said, these sandpeople were truly mad; how could their civilians, being treated in such a way, not rebel. Moreover, losing so many civilians, wouldn’t it cause any public outcry in the Quicksand Empire?

Du You couldn’t understand, and others hadn’t provided him corresponding information. Looking at what was almost turning into a Heavenly Disaster of the Undead, Du You had a mixed sense of crying and laughter.

Others causing an Undead Heavenly Disaster were major villains, but his own Undead Heavenly Disaster seemingly turned him into a savior.

Not just domestically, where his reputation kept improving. Even in the Divine Flame Empire, some border lords close to his location actually hoped he could send some undead regiments to help.

In this world, being an Undead Mage was not exactly a good reputation.

But with the distance being too great, proper control was not possible; thus, Du You could only refuse. However, as time elapsed, waves of refugees were wiped out, and the Quicksand Empire’s regular army finally approached the battlefield’s direction, bringing the real challenge.
