89: Chapter 89 Subduing the Undead
Ever since An started butting heads with Cloud City, not only had her own strength gradually increased, but her subordinates had also grown increasingly powerful.
Benefiting from the systematization and discipline of the Qin Army, the undead troop types had also gradually become more complete. An's subordinates included infantry, cavalry, Archers, and more, making them the most organized army on the entire planet outside of the Qin Army.
Of course, the undead army lacked troop types requiring high technological content; An was no scientist and could not create mechanical structures like gears or springs. Even so, the greatly increased strength of the undead army made An increasingly unscrupulous, leading her to believe that the Qin Kingdom was nothing more than this.
On the other hand, the Qin Army used the undead army to launch a massive training exercise, making the Qin Army increasingly elite and powerful. Several Gold Legions also made the upper echelons of the Qin Army increasingly excited; after all, "experience babies" were not easy to find.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Feng had already made up his mind to unify the globe, he would not have bothered with these hard-to-come-by "experience babies" at this time.
Hovering fifty meters above the ground, Zhao Feng felt deeply emotional. If he had possessed such strength back on Earth, he would not have been hunted down by those Aliens, forced to flee everywhere, resulting in his planet being shattered and having nowhere to call home.
Some undead Archers gathered below Zhao Feng and began to shoot arrows at him.
Zhao Feng smiled. If it were before, a large gathering of these low-tier Mortal Rank Archers would have caused him trouble, but to him now, these low-level troops were completely beneath notice. This was the benefit of having strength reach a certain level.
He lowered his head and blew a breath.
Whoosh!
A small breath suddenly erupted with magic power. A cold, powerful storm suddenly appeared and swept away.
The densely packed arrows flying towards him froze in the cold wind and reversed direction.
An equal number of ice arrows surged fiercely along with the gale.
Even bones without sensory perception were shivering in the cold wind!
The gale blew past, and the bones turned blue-white; these were vivid ice sculptures of skeletons!
Each skeleton Archer still maintained the posture of shooting upwards; naturally, they were fearless.
But An, who was controlling them from behind, was already terrified. Who on earth was this guy?
An asked herself; she had never provoked any experts! Looking at his face, An suddenly realized.
A small skeleton walked towards Zhao Feng holding a flag. Zhao Feng glared, and his eye sockets quickly heated up and turned red.
Two slender heat rays shot out like lightning, blasting that small skeleton into dust.
An trembled all over. Was this expert not planning to leave her a way out?
"No, I absolutely cannot die!" An gritted her jawbone and sent out another small skeleton.
Zhao Feng also noticed this change, so he stopped attacking.
"My Lord, please do not attack, I am willing to surrender!" the small skeleton shouted loudly. Of course, this was the sound of the Soul, which all creatures with a Soul could understand.
"Surrender? Are you the leader of the skeletons?" Zhao Feng asked loudly.
"This small skeleton can represent my will." From the sound of the Soul, Zhao Feng could also hear the respect within it.
"What a cowardly skeleton this is!" Zhao Feng chuckled to himself. Since that was the case, things would be much easier.
"Alright then, come out. I will not kill you," Zhao Feng said loudly.
After a short while, the small skeleton said hesitantly: "My Lord, can you guarantee that you won't harm me?"
"If you don't come out, I will definitely kill all the skeletons!" Zhao Feng did not want to give this skeleton any room for maneuver. Originally, this skeleton had killed quite a few Qin citizens; if it weren't for the fact that this undead was still somewhat useful, Zhao Feng would not have accepted her surrender.
After another while, just as Zhao Feng was about to lose patience and was brimming with Killing Intent, a sneaky figure finally tiptoed out.
This was a skeleton with a very peculiar appearance. She had the appearance of a human girl; even where there was no flesh, she had cleverly filled it in with bones. Strictly speaking, it looked like a bone robot.
On her back, there was also a pair of wings filled with bone feathers; it was unknown if she could fly with them.
An did not originally look like this; originally, she was more like an eight-legged humanoid skeleton. But influenced by the Qin people, she had actually changed her appearance to look like a human. It looked very exquisite and was not disagreeable.
Zhao Feng looked closely. The energy inside this undead was not dense; it looked like she was only at the Peak of the Mortal Rank, so he was not afraid of her resisting. With a flash of his figure, he arrived in front of her.
"Do not resist!" Zhao Feng formed a sword finger and tapped it on the center of An's forehead.
Ever since his Mental Energy had greatly increased, Zhao Feng could faintly perceive the light spots of faith brought about by the belief in the War God. Because he had no way to absorb or use these light spots, they formed a faint halo of light behind his head. This halo could still be seen to be formed by dense light spots of faith, which also indicated that Zhao Feng had not gone far on the Dao of faith.
Even so, Zhao Feng had groped his way to some methods of using the Dao of faith. The simplest one was the faith control he was using now.
He condensed the devout shouts of believers into a beam of Mental Energy waves and projected it into the Mental Energy sea of the subject, allowing the instantly erupting devout faith to assimilate the subject.
When the Mental Energy wave was injected into An's Soul fire, An's expression suddenly froze, and one could see her Soul trembling. After a while, that trembling Soul fire suddenly gradually turned yellow, and finally became a true yellow.
Zhao Feng suddenly felt a large light spot emerge from An's body and cast into his halo of faith.
Success! The faith control was successful.
Zhao Feng watched An's excited appearance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although An was now under Zhao Feng's control, it was not without its benefits.
Because of the faith, her Mental Energy was highly condensed, and she had actually upgraded her Soul fire, becoming an expert equivalent to the low-tier Spirit Rank.
Of course, given An's cowardly nature, coupled with her meager skills, she probably wouldn't be of much help.
Having subdued An, those skeletons created by An were naturally Zhao Feng's subordinates as well.
From An, he learned that she actually had over five thousand skeleton warriors under her command, which counted as a not-insignificant force. Counting the skeletons' characteristics of not fearing death or fatigue, he had gained a batch of good helpers.
"Ding, obtained special building, Bone Base."
When An completely submitted, Zhao Feng received a prompt from the System in his mind.
While watching the military parade conducted by various skeleton warriors, Zhao Feng began to examine this special item.
Bone Base: An exploration base for skeletons, capable of constructing some basic buildings of the skeleton race.
It was just right; this valley was full of bones everywhere, so it was quite suitable.
Zhao Feng clicked build, and after consuming some materials, a huge, ghastly white bone structure followed the movement of Zhao Feng's finger, constantly changing direction, and was finally placed.
Zhao Feng could feel that An's light spot of faith had suddenly grown a circle larger. Feeling proud, he couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of his mouth.
