679: Chapter 215: Undead Magic, Revival of Ten Thousand Souls (Part 1) 679: Chapter 215: Undead Magic, Revival of Ten Thousand Souls (Part 1) As the bat value of over forty thousand was announced, the entire room burst into uproar, with the five other candidates on the opposite side even forgetting they were still in the midst of a fiercely petitive battle simulation.
The situation had bee somewhat uncontrollable.
Candidates number two, four, seven, and eight, who had previously been ganging up on Ye Yinzhu, even looked like they wanted to rush up and confront the proctor, but they were blocked by more than ten Court Warriors of the Landias Empire before they could act.
“Silence, any further inappropriate behavior will result in immediate disqualification from the match.” At this crucial moment, it was Emperor Maximo who remained the most posed, his shout stabilizing the scene once again as everyone’s attention converged on him.
Emperor Maximo shifted his gaze to the proctor and said with a heavy voice, “Read the detailed battle report, specifically explaining why the bat strength of candidate number one increased to over forty thousand after the total annihilation of his forces, and how the bined strength of over thirty thousand belonging to candidates two, four, seven, and eight simply vanished.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied the proctor respectfully, bowing to Emperor Maximo.
“The detailed report is as follows.
In the eleventh round, candidates number two, four, seven, and eight attacked candidate number one simultaneously, thus triggering a hidden mand.
According to the calculations, they each lost between five to ten percent of their own bat strength.”
Emperor Maximo intoned, “Detail the hidden mand.”
The proctor said, “Over the previous eight rounds, the troops of candidate number one that were ordered to hold their position transformed one thousand four hundred Light Cavalry into regular infantry, with their bat value changing from seven thousand to five thousand six hundred.”
“Wait a minute.” Candidate number seven couldn’t help but interject, “A Light Cavalry unit has a bat value of five, while a regular infantry unit has only two.
It’s true that Light Cavalry can transform on the spot, but their value should be much lower than five thousand six hundred.”
The proctor coldly replied, “There is no error in the battle report.
In forest terrain, Light Cavalry’s bat strength is reduced by two, changing from five to three, and when Light Cavalry is turned into regular infantry, their bat strength bees two; however, due to the forest terrain boost of two, their bat value changes to four.
One thousand four hundred regular infantry exactly equates to the bat strength of five thousand six hundred.”
Candidate number seven’s face changed color, and he stepped back, remaining silent.
Emperor Maximo’s eyes brightened upon hearing the proctor’s explanation.
He understood that Ye Yinzhu allowed his Light Cavalry to turn into regular infantry and, in fact, increased their bat value.
Ye Yinzhu had decisively made this move in the third round, showing quick judgment and determination.
The proctor continued, “After transforming into regular infantry, all of candidate number one’s forces executed the same hidden mand, logging.
This continued for seven rounds until it ceased in the tenth round.
In the eleventh round, when candidates number two, four, seven, and eight charged together at candidate number one.
The tails of the mounts left behind by candidate number one after transforming into regular infantry were ignited, causing them to rush out in a frenzy.
According to the executor’s calculations, it is conservatively estimated that the losses for candidates two, four, seven, and eight range from five to ten percent with no errors.”
At this point, Cruz couldn’t help but praise, “Excellent, using every available resource.
He truly has the makings of a great general.”
Emperor Maximo waved his hand, signaling the proctor to continue, as the expressions on the four candidates ganging up on Ye Yinzhu noticeably turned uglier.
“Candidates number two, four, seven, and eight put forth ninety percent or more of their forces to launch a full-scale attack.
Candidate number one’s one thousand four regular infantry used a barrier of accumulated trees to meet the enemy, gaining a terrain advantage and increasing their bat value by three, but losing the forest terrain advantage, which decreased their bat value by two.
In the twelfth round, a total loss of five hundred sixty was incurred, and eleven hundred of the enemy were eliminated.
Candidate number one’s forces engaged the enemy using plains terrain, Dragon Cavalry’s bat value increased by five, and infantry decreased by one.
The Dragon Cavalry group’s charge included a piercing effect, adding five to both their attack and defense.
In the twelfth round, candidate number one suffered a loss of thirteen Dragon Cavalry and eliminated sixteen hundred regular infantry of the enemy.”
This time it was candidate number two who shouted, “Plains?
Where did these plains e from?
This must be a mistake.”
“Idiot, what do you think someone would do with eight days of cutting down trees?
How large an area can be cleared in eight days?
A thousand Cavalries certainly cannot charge, but if there are only two hundred Dragon Cavalry, why can’t it be considered plains terrain?” It was Emperor Maximo himself who scolded, looking disappointedly at candidate number two with the dark blue hair.
This was supposed to be his most talented son, yet standing beside the posed Ye Yinzhu, he seemed like a child.
The proctor, expressionless, stated, “Indeed, eight days of logging created a stretch of plains terrain suitable for a Dragon Cavalry charge.”
“Round thirteen, candidates number two, four, seven, and eight, all Mages, joined the battle, and candidate number one’s infantry was pletely annihilated…”
“Round fourteen, candidate number one’s Dragon Cavalry…”
Next, the battle seemed to turn into a stage for the Dragon Cavalry.
In the not-so-large open terrain, their charge and high offensive and defensive capabilities were utilized to the extreme, continuously annihilating enemy forces several times their own.
Although they too were gradually depleting, the proportion of their losses pared to the enemy’s was inparable.
“Round eighteen.
Candidate number one’s mander took to the field, Mages of candidates number two and four were all annihilated.
Candidate number one’s Dragon Cavalry was totally destroyed.” It wasn’t until the eighteenth round, when the bined force of four had lost more than half their strength, that all of Ye Yinzhu’s forces were finally wiped out.
However, under the attack of so many forces, Ye Yinzhu managed to eliminate nearly twice as many forces as his own, with a bat value of ten thousand, which could be said to be a brilliant record of achievement.
Moreover, he still had a mander with a value of ten thousand.
With the strength of a Zi rank Powerhouse, it was indeed within reason to sweep away the remaining few thousand enemies.
“Round nineteen, twenty thousand deceased warriors regained their bat strength, with the added trait of fearlessness, and their bat value increased by one, controlled by candidate number one.
The counterattack, all the enemies were annihilated.
The offensive forces of candidates two, four, seven, and eight were pletely destroyed.”
“Round twenty, all batants who died during the battle regained their bat strength, and all of candidate number one’s spooked horses, dead or alive, were recovered.
Candidate number one’s forces were pletely wiped out, with a bat value of forty thousand and nine hundred fifty.
Not counting the fearlessness skill.
Detailed battle report concluded.”
The Inspector closed the battle report and handed it to a guard beside him, who quickly delivered it to Emperor Maximo’s hands.
Emperor Maximo and the ministers listened very carefully, and when the Inspector announced the conclusion of the battle report, their first reaction was that the key point of the battle occurred in the eighteenth round—that was when Ye Yinzhu’s mander entered the fight.
Emperor Maximo said with a grave tone, “Inspector, why did candidate number one regain twenty thousand bat value in the eighteenth round?”
The Inspector shook his head, saying, “I do not know, Your Majesty.
I am only reporting as per the executor’s account.”
Emperor Maximo’s gaze then shifted back to the five executors previously mentioned, finally resting on the executor for Ye Yinzhu, “Speak, what happened?”
The executor’s eyes flickered with fear.
“Your Highness, in the eighteenth round candidate number one restored twenty thousand bat value because he invoked a Forbidden Curse called Revival of Ten Thousand Souls, which restored the bat capability of the soldiers with that bat value.”
Emperor Maximo was taken aback and looked to Grand Sorcerer Randir at his side, “Revival of Ten Thousand Souls?
Master, have you ever heard of this Magic?”
Randir frowned and said, “I have never heard of such a Forbidden Curse.
Ah, wait a moment.” Her eyes instantly filled with horror, “Could it be, could it be a…,” she stared intently at Ye Yinzhu, enunciating each word carefully, “Undead—Forbidden—Curse.”
“What?” A wave of surprised exclamations rang out simultaneously, and everyone’s gaze towards Ye Yinzhu changed.
It was known that Necromancers were almost synonymous with the epitome of evil on the Ryuzakinus Continent and the scorn of all other Mages.
Once a Necromancer appeared, they would often provoke other system Mages into united action against them, especially powerful Necromancers, who were the most hated enemies of other Mages.
If Ye Yinzhu was a Zi rank Grand Necromantic Sorcerer, then this battle report would make sense.
Resurrecting units with over forty thousand bat values within a certain range was easy for a powerful Necromancer.
It was a simple matter indeed.
No wonder he could still possess units with over forty thousand bat values even after his own forces were annihilated.
Those were all Undead armies!
“Candidate number one, is this true?” Emperor Maximo glared at Ye Yinzhu intensely, his heart stirring with turmoil.
It was only now he understood why Ye Yinzhu had previously requested that no one present reveal his secret.
Emperor Maximo felt regret, profound regret.
It wasn’t because he shunned Necromancers, quite the opposite; as a scion of the Black Phoenix Bloodline, he didn’t revile dark entities but instead yearned for their formidable power.
If he had known earlier that Ye Yinzhu was a Grand Necromancer Sorcerer, he would never have allowed Ye Yinzhu to reveal his strength in front of so many people.
Across the sand table, Kleyena also exhibited a strange expression, frantically signaling Ye Yinzhu with her eyes, her heart racing with urgency.
“You fool, how could you fabricate such a lie?
This isn’t just casual talk between us; Yahoo, in front of you stands the most powerful emperor of the Landias Empire!”
