West of the Island
A large undead army was currently attacking a medium-sized gold mine.
This gold mine was heavily guarded by a variety of Holy Order troops, including Priestesses, Griffins, Royal Griffins, and Paladins.
Mines were the core of future warfare, and they were strategic objectives for all factions. Mines could be classified into different sizes: micro, small, medium, large, and super-large!
The larger the mine, the more resources it provided, and the type of resources it provided varied as well.
The medium-sized gold mine in front of them, as long as it was properly staffed, could continuously supply its owner with gold each week. This was the true sustainable development strategic goal, a never-ending source of wealth.
In general, there were not many wild mines left in Aashan Continent, as most of them had already been claimed. Players could only fight over wild mines now. However, these wild mines were heavily defended, and even if players managed to capture one, they might not be able to hold it. No one would easily give up such huge profits.
Wars fought over mine resources would be the main focus of future conflicts.
But on this island, Lin Jin didn't have to worry about such problems.
This island was his Kingdom of the Undead, and as long as he could conquer it, no one would be able to steal his resources.
On the battlefield, Uther waved his hand, and a sharp sound rang across the battlefield, casting a deathly shadow over all enemy troops, inflicting negative debuffs on them.
Wail of the Banshee!
A basic skill of Undead Heroes.
After lowering the morale and luck of the enemies, Uther immediately commanded his undead army to attack.
Vampires, zombies, ghouls, wraiths, and ghosts—all of them surged toward the enemy.
Among them, the most elite Undead Cavalry formed a wedge formation under the leadership of Soul Reaper Scythe and Soul Wraith Cavalry to charge forward.
Uther's tactics were very similar to Lin Jin's, or rather, they were typical for all Undead Heroes. No one was truly concerned with every single unit. As long as the main forces were taken care of, the rest of the Undead could be whatever number was needed!
The war broke out, and it was incredibly fierce.
The Griffins and Royal Griffins swooped down from the sky, tearing through zombies and ghouls with their claws. Some griffins even crashed into the skeletons, causing them to shatter into pieces.
In the sky, Holy Light Orbs flew toward them, exploding with holy light and covering many of the Undead.
There was also a continuous barrage of arrows and crossbow bolts, creating a curtain of fire that rained down on the Undead army.
Amidst this chaotic battle, two cavalry units collided with each other.
Paladins vs. Undead Knights.
In the instant of contact, the Soul Reaper Scythe and Soul Wraith Cavalry wielded their massive scythes with ease, effortlessly cutting down the Paladins.
Even the Terror Knights easily overwhelmed the Paladins.
There was a clear difference between units led by heroes and those without heroes.
The Paladins collapsed immediately, and casualties grew rapidly. Within a short time, all the Paladins were wiped out.
Following that, under the leadership of the Soul Reaper Scythe, the entire Undead Army charged toward the backline, targeting the Battle Priests and Priestesses.
The large-scale battle had clearly dispersed the enemy's forces, and after defeating the Paladins, the Undead Knights surged forward, as if entering an undefended area.
They first wiped out the enemy's high-tier forces, and once those were gone, all the knights spread out, attacking from all sides.
In this way, all of the Holy Order units were destroyed.
The battle ended, and the medium-sized gold mine officially belonged to Lin Jin. As long as Lin Jin established a Graveyard Town, the resources here would be directly added to his treasury.
After planting the flag, the remaining Paladins turned into Terror Knights, rising again from the ground.
"Soul Summoning!"
Uther raised his hand again and used Soul Summoning on all of his units.
Black mist spread, and one Undead after another stood up, filling the ranks of the undead army.
It was as though Uther was casually completing a trivial task as he led his army forward.
On the other side, Litiya was also leading her Vampire Legion to attack.
Vampires could level up with each battle. Some Tier 7 Vampires slowly grew into Tier 8 Vampire Counts, while Tier 8 Vampire Counts began to approach Tier 10 Vampire Lords.
Tier 10 Vampire Lords were still accumulating battle experience to prepare for their next tier-up!
Unlike Uther, who was dealing with high-tier units, Litiya only sent Vampires to deal with low-tier creatures.
With their life-steal ability, the Vampires hardly took any damage.
Thanks to their healing abilities, her Vampire Legion grew rapidly, and the Undead Army continued to expand. When fighting non-undead creatures, she would send her expendable units to exhaust the enemy's strength.
This way, her main forces kept growing larger.
As both of them harvested the battlefield, each resource mine was marked with Lin Jin's flag, and all scattered resources, treasure fragments, and magic scrolls were swiftly taken.
Their strategic experience kept increasing.
When encountering more formidable targets that could inflict significant casualties on their army, they simply recorded the coordinates and didn't engage in battle.
These were the types of targets that Lin Jin would need to handle.
As long as Lin Jin took action and gathered the power of the three heroes, he could easily annihilate these formidable enemies with minimal losses.
