Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Zi Liyuan didn’t summon the entire knight order in one go, but only the Epic Boss, the Nightmare Knight, and a hundred Dread Knight Lord replicas.

However, with the Replica Skill, this was also a formidable corps of seven hundred units. Even though they were knock-offs, their presence and appearance alone were enough to intimidate.

Besides, even as replicas, they still possessed the attributes of a Lord Boss. Lacking talents and skills, their inherent attributes alone could crush most of those at the Fourth Order.

As it happened, a bunch of cultists, already suppressed by the Blood Lake Demon Soul Array, without the slightest bit of resistance, were cut down by the Dread Knight King as easily as one would chop vegetables.

A slash to the head, and they died very peacefully.

Their bodies were carried back by these knights, and then Fan Yuer, along with her three younger sisters, promptly proceeded to loot the corpses.

One by one, items of equipment, treasures, and piles of resources were retrieved from these Fourth Order experts, quickly amassing into a small mountain.

Zi Liyuan didn’t bother watching. He summoned a group of Wraith Mages to directly enter the underground base, starting to pack everything up, especially the laboratory. Not a single item was spared.

Adhering to a policy of leaving nothing behind, not even a piece of the wall!

After scouring the headquarters of the Shadow Spirit Council clean, Zi Liyuan took out a guiding medallion from his Spatial Backpack, similar to that of Dragon Academy.

His Spirit probed inside, connecting with the contact method of the garrison commander in Heishui City. After infusing Spiritual Power and leaving a message with the location of this farm and detailed information about the headquarters of the Shadow Spirit Council.

When Old Liu handed him this medallion, he naturally knew that given Lord Zi’s character, he would definitely eradicate these heretical cultists completely.

Nevertheless, someone would need to take care of the aftermath, so the city guard army of the nearest city was the best candidate for the job.

As such, he had the contact methods for the city guards in charge around each base inscribed into a special military communication medallion, which could be activated with Spiritual Power and guided by the Spirit for one-to-one communication.

Even though this big underground base had been stripped to the bone, it still held some value.

But if one wanted to make further use of it, the large hole made by Xiao Guang on the surface would need to be sealed first.

"Let’s go, on to the next location."

Seeing Number Two struggle to control the raging Blood Lake Demon Soul Array before stopping it and retrieving the array flags, the group once again entered Xiao Guang.

"Xiao Guang, play back the recording of the Blood Lake Demon Soul Array."

"Alright."

A holographic projection immediately appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The scene captured from the spacecraft showed, with crystal clarity, the activation of the array, the blood red mist spreading in all directions, linking to the array flags, and then forming a massive crimson river.

Then, within the Blood Lake, greyish-black death qi started to surge, coalescing into a giant phantom face.

Finally, as the blood red gathered into a huge Blood Lake covering an area of ten kilometers, the scene stopped changing.

And throughout the entire process, in less than a minute, the Blood Lake Demon Soul Array was fully activated.

As for the appearance of the bloodwater underground, Xiao Guang didn’t manage to capture it.

"Such sinister imagery, befitting the power of a vile array." Read latest chapters at empire

While observing the impressive scene and marveling at the strength of this evil array, they also began to worry.

This thing, though not the array in its complete form, already had the power to suppress Fourth Order experts.

If Number Two reached the Peak of the Fourth Order and manipulated this evil array, it’s feared they might suppress dozens or even hundreds of Fourth Order Peak experts at once.

But the difficulty in controlling this array would also skyrocket, and Zi Liyuan feared that Number Two wouldn’t be able to handle it, possibly resulting in backlash.

"In the future, I’ll use this evil array cautiously. To absorb blood and Spirits, there’s no need to set up and activate the great array, just the individual activation of the array flags is sufficient."

```

If every time we have to set up the entire array just to feed it, our activities in the Plaster Nation will suffer significant limitations and may even attract fatal threats.

"Before you reach the Fourth Order Peak and activate the talent of the fusion array, let’s not set up the complete array. Just use the flags to absorb blood and spirit,"

Zi Liyuan firmly advised, not wanting any harm to come to his family.

"Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Having experienced the might of the Blood and Soul Devouring Array, especially since I needed various amplifications just to barely control it and nearly lost control and caused an uproar on several occasions, Number Two was somewhat apprehensive.

It’s worth noting that this was the first activation of the entire array, and even in its weakest initial form, it was already so powerful. In the future, after it has absorbed enough blood and spirit, who knows how much its power will increase.

The difficulty of controlling it would certainly increase geometrically by then.

Number Two did not wish to be devoured by this nefarious array and die a gruesome death.

During the brief chat among the group, Xiao Guang once again stopped on the outskirts of a city.

"Another farm? Does the Phantom Shadow Godcult like to use farms for cover that much?"

With spirit detection, this base was clearly smaller than the one in Heishui City.

Through the penetration of spirit and skill detection, only one Fourth Order Peak and twelve Fourth Order warriors were stationed at this Phantom Shadow Godcult base, with the rest of the thousands of members ranging from unranked to Third Order.

"The fact that the eliminated headquarters had at least First Order presence, and here there are those not even ranked, shows a huge disparity indeed."

This place didn’t seem to have much of value, especially the biggest treasury, which held mostly basic resources and very few high-quality items.

"Xiao Guang, fire a shot first, blow a big hole, and the rest of you go down and get some practice. Dailisi, you take the Wraith Mage team to intercept the Fourth Order warriors."

Even in human form, Black Dragon Sister still followed the Epic Boss template, with considerable strength, only unable to use most of the Black Dragon’s true form tactics.

For example, the Black Dragon’s breath is completely unusable in human form.

This meant her power was discounted, with a spontaneous reduction of thirty percent.

However, within this underground base, there were only thirteen Fourth Order warriors in total, and among them, only one had reached the Fourth Order Level 100 Peak.

Dailisi was fully capable of single-handedly suppressing this group of Fourth Order cultists.

As for the other two thousand cultists, they were left to Number Two, Shen Yurou, and Fan Yuer. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Zi Liyuan was assigning tasks, Xiao Guang’s secondary cannon had already finished charging and fired right at the farm below.

The exploding energy pillar instantly destroyed the farm on the surface and blasted a massive pit over fifty meters wide in the ground.

Because of Zi Liyuan’s shared vision through the spirit, Xiao Guang didn’t directly target the center of the base underneath but instead bombarded the edge, avoiding massive cultist casualties like when attacking the Phantom Shadow Godcult’s headquarters.

This bombardment into the hole only killed a dozen or so unlucky individuals.

"Let’s go, time to clear the field, leave no survivors!"

Zi Liyuan’s expression became exceptionally serious.

If you don’t remove the root, the spring breeze will bring it back to life, and these delicate beauties lack extensive experience in combat with professionals.

The purpose of this mission was for them to practice and gain real combat experience against professionals.

However, Lord Zi clearly underestimated the ferocity of his own women.

Not to mention Number Two, who dared to infiltrate the Heretical Sect and rise to a high position holding a certain sway—this in itself was extremely fierce.

Otherwise, within the sect, she would have been devoured bone and all long ago, instead of later becoming Zi Liyuan’s bargain.
