The Skeleton Dragon King was evidently less adept than the Giant Bone King in territorial governance. Gaven’s Slaughter Army advanced to within less than three hundred kiloters of his Dragon Tomb before its counterattack army arrived, tardy.
Much like the initial Giant Bone King, it did not perceive Gaven as a significant threat, dispatching not an elite army but a few undead commanders to locally recruit undeads.
Only slightly more nurous than those under General Sethstein, exceeding a million, employing the sa undead sea tactics.
The only trouble was that the Slaughter Army had already penetrated the heart of the Dragon Bone Domain, and special troops unique to this area began to appear in large numbers—the Draconic Undead.
Giant Dragons are not fad for mass production, yet their long history and astonishing wide spread mark their legend and presence not only in the major material planes but untraceable across upper and lower planes.
Accumulated to be an unimaginable number.
Giant Dragons are most famous for their prolific reproduction across races, from divine envoys to demon devils, the interdiate sage races and beast insects, capable of rging and spawning all manner of Dragonborn and Dragon Beasts.
The benevolent tal Dragons often exercise restraint in this aspect, often emphasizing mutual consent.
The wicked Colored Dragons, however, indulge whimsically, often asserting themselves forcefully.
These Dragonborn and Dragon Beasts are naturally classified among the dragonkin.
This also results in a multitude of unusual Draconic Undeads here, with peculiar and exotic varieties.
Yet one thing is certain, that the closer to the Giant Dragons, the stronger they beco.
The most powerful naturally are those undead ford from Giant Dragons, posing the gravest threat to the Slaughter Army.
As Gaven anticipated, even when their dragon wings were riddled with holes and devoid of flesh, they still retained flight capabilities.
Not purely magic in effect, but the ample soul fire filling within, akin to a mbrane wing.
Their original dragon breath ability lost, replaced instead by Skeleton Breath.
Spewing forth vast amounts of skeleton remains in dragon breath fashion, inflicting crush and piercing damage on enemies, with power rivaling Skeleton Giant Cannons.
The flaw of this spew weapon is its proximity attack nature.
They must swoop low like Giant Dragons to threaten ground foes.
This approach also places them within danger.
Being ticulous, Gaven anticipated encountering such foes and made preparations accordingly.
Whether Tri-headed Corpse Hound, Super Death Stalker, or Skeleton Giant Artillery, all possess anti-air capabilities.
With the appearance of improved Skeleton Blasters, Gaven naturally wouldn’t just apply them to Shadow Flyers.
Ground Forces’ ranged weaponry also falls within improvent scope; those ford Tri-headed Corpse Hounds and Super Death Stalkers aren’t easy to modify, but for Skeleton Giant Artillery, simply outfitting different caliber Skeleton Blasters suffices.
For miniaturization, Gaven split the capabilities into Skeleton Blasters and Skeleton Rapid-Fire Cannons.
Uncertain which proves more effective, he simply equipped parts with both, leaving practical combat to assess usefulness.
Ultimately requiring constant adjustnt based on real needs and battlefield feedback.
When the Dragon Bone Domain’s undead army ultimately assembled, rather than directly contending, the Slaughter Army instead began a strategic retreat, extending the entire frontline.
This maneuver continued to leverage command advantage, for differing troops result in varied enemy marching speeds, compounded by lack of unified commander control, instead led by several undead commanders.
Their coordination weak even without the Slaughter Legion’s lure, their formation stretched incredibly long, let alone targeted treatnt.
Any army straying from the main force faced one outco—being encircled and devoured by wolf-like Slaughter Legion.
...
At the junction of the Giant Bone Domain and Dragon Bone Domain.
A Skeleton Army had camped here for many days.
This skeleton army not only was vast beyond sight, but quality surpassed that of typical Skeleton Armies.
Among them, even half giant skeleton soldiers seed insignificant sprouts, dwarfed by nurous Skeleton Giants, mixed with massive Corpse Giants, Corpse Hounds, and Death Stalkers.
Millions of Skeleton Undead congregated silently, all facing one direction, quietly awaiting.
From this direction stood two unique undead.
One clad in rib armor—the Reaper Demon Lord General Sethstein.
Beside him stood a gargantuan entity, not a patchwork undead from corpses, but whole and intact; its thigh bone thicker than an ancient tree, an adult barely reached its shin bone.
Its entire skeleton radiated jade-like glow, imparting a gemstone illusion rather than bone impression.
Draped in similar material giant skeletal armor, it appeared anything but frail.
