Chapter 266 - 266: Ashes Domain

Translator: Lonelytree

“As expected, the number of pawns killed by the Undead won’t increase because they can’t absorb life essence from the undead.”

Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.

As soon as he confirmed that the Lord of Ashes would send troops to kill him, Matthew began to prepare.

During this period, the information provided by the Seven Saint Alliance played a huge role.

The information clearly stated that the half-dead tentacle left behind by the Void Ruler Yurkus in the Prime Material World utilized the domain of Ash.

The Alliance had also conducted in-depth research and summarized the information in this field.

Matthew realized this after reading it.

Ashes and undead were actually two fields that overlapped in concept.

Both of them covered at least a part of the ” death “.

Death domain’s ultimate sublimation was Transcendence and Eternity.

The Domain of Ashes represented Dust and Ruin as the universe headed towards the inevitable end of withering.

These two fields were destined to overlap and oppose each other.

Therefore. using the undead to fight against the enemies in the Ashes Domain

was a very good method.

In the history of the Alliance.

There was also a project to gather a large number of necromancers to slow down the expansion of the Scar of the Dead.

In terms of execution, the results of the project were not bad. For this reason, Baiyan City and Jade Court entered a honeymoon period.

But soon, due to some unknown factors, this project was inexplicably stopped by the Alliance.

Since then, the Scar of the Dead had never been properly restrained.

In a summary report, an anonymous person in charge clearly pointed out that the failure of the project had nothing to do with the necromancers and vaguely pointed out that the internal strife of the Alliance was the real reason why the project was stopped.

Of course, this report was also derived through deduction by Matthew.

The Alliance’s information on the Scar of the Dead was very strange.

The people who tempered with the info seemed to want to hide some information, but they were unwilling to destroy the real information. In the end, they could only make it extremely convoluted.

It was like mixing a concise and good novel with 100 garbage novels in a random order.

It was undoubtedly very difficult for ordinary people to decipher it.

Fortunately, Matthew had always been abnormal.

His train of thought was very simple. Since this plan had been proven to be effective, he might as well continue to follow this train of thought.

There was no need to be unconventional.

Immediately.

Matthew controlled the 240 zombies and skeletons and distributed them evenly between the southwest end of the Scar of the Dead and the oak forest.

These undead had Matthew’s brand on them.

The Ash Pawns obviously did not have the ability to distinguish between Matthew and Matthew’s summons.

They only knew how to brainlessly attack the undead.

Then, they were easily killed by the Undead.

Gradually.

The situation was temporarily under control.

The respawn time of the Ashes Pawns also became very regular.

Within three minutes after each death, a red halo would appear on the ground of the Scar of the Dead. The pawns would be reborn in the halo. After less than a minute of slow trek and less than 15 seconds of battle, they would turn into ashes and return to the scorched earth. The cycle seemed endless.

“Is there no way to eliminate them at the root?” Everyone looked around for a while before Rheagar asked.

Matthew shook his head.

“This is the best we can do for now. According to my understanding, if we want to completely destroy these ashes, we have to severely injure the Scar of the Dead. This is not an easy task.

“What do you think?” He looked at the others.

There weren’t many people who came to Matthew’s house for dinner tonight. The main reason was that Zeller had gone to the South Trade Station to deal with the haunted incident and hadn’t returned yet. For some reason, Li Weiqi had gone to the Highleaf Territory to have fun. Therefore, other than Rheagar, only the garrison captain Blake, Mr. Richard from the Craftsmen Protection Association, and Old Fallon from the Veterans Association were present.

Matthew’s gaze was mainly on the two people behind him.

The reason why he was willing to spend a lot of money to treat everyone to a mutton feast for three davs was that he found that eating mutton and mutton soup was really helpful in mastering Malicious Transfiguration. On the other hand, he wanted to ask for help from the knowledge and experience of these two.

Needless to say, Matthew suspected Richard to be a legendary thief with rich experience.

Old Fallon was also a knight who had returned from purgatory. He was equally experienced and seemed to have many hidden treasures. Matthew was naturally willing to interact more with him.

However, the two old foxes did not say a word to Matthew’s questioning gaze.

Only Big Beardy was still seriously thinking of a countermeasure.

“If only the undead can stop these monsters from advancing, then should we just provide Matthew with enough undead and let these zombies and skeletons form a wall to firmly wrap the Scar of the Dead inside?”

Matthew raised his eyebrows and finally smiled encouragingly.

“It’s also a way of thinking.”

However, in reality.

Controlling so many undead at the same time was already close to the upper limit of Matthew’s mental power. Fortunately, the Ashes pawns could not withstand a single blow. He only needed to order the undead to defend and counterattack on the spot, and he did not need to expend extra mental energy.

However, if this continued for a long time…

It was inevitable that he would feel tired, not to mention controlling hundreds of thousands of undead to surround the Scar of the Dead at the same time.

That was completely a fantasy.

Thinking of this…

He then looked at the two old foxes with a pleading gaze.

Old Fallon cleared his throat as if he wanted to say something.

But at this moment.

Rheagar suddenly jumped up from the ground.

“There’s someone!”

Matthew suddenly looked in the direction he was pointing.

Under the moonlight.

On the other side of the Scar of the Dead.

Seven to eight wooden carts rolled down the hill.

Matthew had sharp eyes.

He could clearly see the corpses of cows and sheep piled up on the wooden cart!

Rumble!

The carts fell into the Scar of the Dead, and the corpses on them quickly dried up, and a large amount of Life Essence fused into them.

Suddenly.

A huge red halo appeared in the centre of the scorched earth.

And at the edge of the big circle of light were hundreds of small circles of light.

[Warning: The Ashen Warriors are descending!]

At the top of the hill.

A figure slowly appeared. It was a man with a fleshy face and a fierce gaze.

He waved at the crowd from afar and then shouted,

“Hey! The Silver Frost Brotherhood sends their greetings!

“By the way, send a message to those guys in your cell. Tell them to stay in prison and don’t even think about getting out! The brothers outside already have me as their new boss. I will also take good care of their wives and children.

“Oh right, my name is Setrunk, a red-letter hunter with a bounty of 30,000!

A dozen figures appeared behind him.

Each of them was carrying a cart. However, this time, it was no longer the corpses of cattle and sheep but bloody human corpses! One cart after another drove into the scorched earth.

Matthew could clearly feel it.

The power of ashes in the scorched earth was becoming stronger and stronger!

“I’ll go and finish them off!” said Rheagar, his footsteps unsteady. Matthew stopped him with one hand.

“No need.

Rheagar frowned and said,

“Do you have a way to stop them?”

Matthew winked at him. “Didn’t you notice that we’re missing one person?

Rheagar turned his head.

He was surprised to find that only Old Fallon was still smiling at him. On the ground beside him, there was an exquisite gentleman’s cane.
