Along the way, the scattered undead they encountered were swiftly dealt with in no time.
Everyone followed behind them, practically unimpeded.
Soon, they reached the center of the ancient battlefield, which was the area of that tunnel.
Ahead, there was a snow-covered entrance.
Around the entrance, there were dense footprints.
It seemed that quite a few survivors had probed here.
However… there were only footprints going in, none coming out.
The fate of these people was self-explanatory.
Assam and Blom had already walked over to clear the tunnel.
Revealing a spacious passage, about five to six meters high.
Cao Xing thought to himself, “Luckily, this passage is large enough, otherwise not only would Da Bai be unable to enter, but the newcomer in my territory, Jode Iron Frost, wouldn’t be able to enter either.”
He glanced inside the tunnel, where a faint, eerie green glow emanated.
Clearly, there were also quite a few undead inside the tunnel.
Thus, Cao Xing said, “Assam, Blom, you two go in first.”
“Yes, my lord!”
As the words fell, the two immediately charged into the tunnel.
In no time, angry roars of undead and sounds of fighting echoed from within.
Cao Xing and the others quickly entered.
At a glance, they saw a mass of undead inside the tunnel, frantically attacking Blom and Assam.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing thought, “Last time I came, there weren’t many undead in this tunnel; now there are so many.”
“At this rate, it won’t take long before more undead rush out of the tunnel.”
“By then, my territory will likely be the first to be affected.”
This also shows that his action this time was very timely.
Meanwhile.
Assam and Blom were fighting against the undead inside.
These undead had an exceedingly strong desire to attack.
Cao Xing frowned slightly, because his initial plan was to negotiate with these undead first, and if unsuccessful, then fight.
But these undead were devoid of reason, incapable of any communication.
Now, he could only hope there were communicable undead inside the ancient battlefield.
If not, the situation could become more complicated.
He exhaled gently and then said, “Take action, clear out the tunnel first.”
Upon hearing the order, all the ranged units launched their attacks.
“Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!”
“Crash~ crash crash!”
The Archer Corps fired arrows imbued with the aura of nightmares!
Additionally, there were numerous earth spikes, wind blades, and other magical attacks.
Multiple large damage numbers appeared above the undead!
Under this group of melee units imbued with holy water, the battle was practically a rout.
Undead in the tunnel fell in droves, unable to stop their advance.
In less than three minutes, all the undead in the tunnel were cleared.
Everyone quickly passed through the tunnel, which spanned four to five hundred meters.
At the end, a burst of green light appeared.
Cao Xing knew that it was emitted by the massive number of undead inside.
So, he reminded, “We’re about to enter, everyone get ready.”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately heightened their alertness.
Behind them, Duke Baladin also instructed the Ascalon Undead to enter the tunnel.
Then, they directly passed through the tunnel, and the scene ahead opened up vastly.
What first met their eyes was an exceedingly vast space, with an ancient city ahead.
This city, wrought by war and years, had become a ruin.
Yet, above this city filled with ruins, a near-limitless undead army roamed!
