Indeed, everything on the battlefield was under Lin Jin's control. From the moment he began assembling the Greater Liches, he adjusted his strategy according to the battlefield situation, preparing to deal with the Golden Dragon King's escape.
Usher and Letitia, leading the Soul-Reaving Scythes and Bone Dragons, charged toward the Golden Dragon King. The only remaining paths for the Golden Dragon King to flee were two, and Lin Jin intentionally positioned the Ghost Dragon and Death Angel to block one of them. This way, the Golden Dragon King would inevitably run into the ambush laid by the Greater Liches.
Initially, the Greater Liches were scattered. While their destructive power was immense, they could easily remain hidden in the sea of undead and avoid detection. Their regrouping was done secretly, and the Golden Dragon King never anticipated it.
The trap was set, and at this moment, the most lethal killing intent was about to be revealed!
The Golden Dragon King's hesitation allowed the Death Angel, Ghost Dragon, and Soul-Reaving Scythes to surround it from both sides, blocking its escape.
In the distance, Usher and Letitia, leading their Crown-tier units, were also closing in.
"Attack!"
With a cold command, the Ghost Dragon charged in first, while the Death Angel flapped her wings powerfully, cutting through the air in a graceful arc to strike at the Golden Dragon King.
After taking the earlier blows, the Golden Dragon King was covered in wounds. The thick poison fog surrounding it didn't affect the undead, but it greatly impaired the Golden Dragon King's movement. Its speed dropped, and it could no longer break free from the encirclement.
Its health was critically low, and it couldn't endure much more damage.
At this point, the Golden Dragon King had no hope left.
Its massive dragon eyes, filled with unwillingness, shot a final glance at Lin Jin, then it lunged toward the Ghost Dragon. The two dragons collided fiercely in mid-air.
The Death Angel continued her relentless assault, searching for opportunities to strike.
Reinforcements arrived, forming an encirclement from all four directions around the Golden Dragon King.
At that moment, the remaining two Soul-Reaving Scythes joined the fray, and the Weaving Fate Spider Queen also began to attack.
Ten-way Ambush!
Lin Jin's strategy was flawless, leaving no room for escape. His decisions had completely shut down the Golden Dragon King's hope of fleeing.
As the battle raged on, the Golden Dragon King's wounds multiplied, and it grew increasingly weak.
With a final, unwilling roar, the Golden Dragon King plummeted from the sky. Its massive dragon eyes still held a trace of confusion, as if it couldn't believe what had just happened.
It was so powerful, yet it had fallen to such lowly and filthy undead hands.
It had come here with six of its kin.
"Roar!"
The massive figure that fell from the sky let out a final roar, shaking the heavens. Its roar was a testament to its immense power.
Boom!
The enormous body crashed into the ground like a meteor, causing the earth to tremble. A storm of bone dust rose into the air, spreading for several meters.
Ding! You have defeated the Golden Dragon King's dragon group, completing an epic battle!
Ding! You have slain the Epic Creature, Golden Dragon King, and earned the title Dragon Slayer!
Ding! You have defeated the Epic Creature, Golden Dragon King, and gained the Golden Dragon's Hatred!
Ding! You have defeated the Golden Dragon Group, and after searching the battlefield, you have found the High-level Strategic Artifact: Dragon King's Shield!
...
With the Golden Dragon King's death, the war came to an end, and a flood of system messages appeared on the screen.
Although the enemies this time numbered only seven, their combat power far exceeded that of typical enemies. This was the first time Lin Jin encountered a faction with buffs!
His previous victories had been relatively easy because his enemies lacked such advantages. The difference between facing enemies with buffs and those without was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
The Golden Dragon King's assault caused Lin Jin unprecedented casualties!
Two Bone Dragons, 34 Greater Liches, many high-tier units, and nearly 2,500 Undead Cannon Fodder!
The Golden Dragon's Dragon Breath at the start was nearly lethal. Had it been given more time, Lin Jin's losses would have been even greater.
Of course, this was also due to Lin Jin's core units being absent. Had the Horrific Knights and Vampire Dukes been present, the Golden Dragons would have faced more resistance when charging into the sea of undead.
"Master!"
In the distance, the Ghost Dragon and Death Angel flew over, with the Death Angel holding a menacing shield.
It looked like a shield crafted from the Golden Dragon King's head, marked with the insignia of the Dragon King's wings, exuding the fierce aura of a dragon.
Dragon King's Shield (High-level): Part of the Dragon King Set, rumored to be made from the materials of a Dragon King. It provides extraordinary defense but will provoke the Dragon Race's wrath upon use.
Defense +4
Dragon's Fury: Increases all attributes of your dragon units (Ghost Dragons) by a percentage. The stronger the dragon, the more adaptive the effect.
Defense Art (Intermediate): Increases the defense of the units you lead by 10%.
Dragon Slayer: Increases the damage your army deals to dragons by 10%, and increases the chance of triggering critical hits.
"Dragon Slayer, looks like I'm really at odds with the Dragon Race!"
Lin Jin smirked.
He had never intended to make peace with the Dragon Race. After killing the Golden Dragon earlier, the Dragon Race's hatred was already directed at him. Now, even if he killed another group of Golden Dragons, what would it matter?
Although slaying the Golden Dragons had cost him heavily, the rewards were far greater.
Not only had he obtained his first High-level Strategic Artifact, but he had also learned Intermediate Defense Art and earned the Dragon Slayer title.
For Lin Jin, sacrificing troops to invest in himself was always a worthy exchange.
Moreover, Golden Dragons could still be resurrected.
"God-level Soul Summoning!"
Lin Jin raised his right hand. All the Golden Dragons and the Golden Dragon King's corpses on the battlefield were covered by a layer of dark, undead mist. The necrotic energy permeated their flesh, beginning to revive them.
Ding! You can resurrect Golden Dragon King x1, Golden Dragon x4. Resurrection will cost a total of 58,000 Souls!
Wild creatures have a high resurrection chance, and only two Golden Dragons failed to resurrect. Even the Golden Dragon King can be revived.
Although two Golden Dragons were lost, the revival of the Golden Dragon King satisfied Lin Jin.
The four Golden Dragons would cost 8,000 souls each, while the Golden Dragon King alone required 50,000 souls!
The Golden Dragon King was a special unit, not only used as a soldier but also requiring an exceptionally high amount of souls to resurrect.
However, this amount of souls was a bit too much.
Lin Jin furrowed his brows.
