Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Lynn, who was in the apprentice camp, also symbolically released several [Soul Impact] attacks into the Knights.

These knights and servants won't contribute much to the army; they should save their energy and deal with the opposing wizard.

Under the combined fire of the skeleton apprentices and the heavy undead, the elite knightly order was quickly wiped out.

Without the knight's leadership, the servants of the alien race also suffered heavy casualties and were gradually wiped out.

However, the undead legion at the forefront also suffered heavy losses. The remaining few were unable to shake the fortifications and were no longer a significant threat.

"Second sequence, revival troops, advance!" Ferdinand ordered.

A group of apprentices specializing in the resurrection of the dead quickly stepped forward.

With the blessing of the witch array, they continuously cast spells such as Skeleton Resurrection, Zombie Summoning, and Shadow Servant on the mountains of corpses piled up on the battlefield.

A chilling scene unfolded: the knight who had just fallen and the strong alien trembled violently as if they had turned into zombies.

Amidst waves of chilling energy, some twitched and stood up, while others who had lost both legs and arms struggled to move their bodies.

Some were enveloped by the resurrected skeletons, their flesh and blood rapidly detaching, leaving only bloody skeletons and eerie green soul fire burning in their eye sockets.

Some souls detach from their bodies and, under the erosion of negative energy, gradually transform into bewildered ghosts.

Manipulated by the spellcaster, they roared and turned to pounce on their former comrades—the Allied Forces' wizard apprentices' main camp!

With the addition of fresh troops, the relentless advance of the undead legion, and the continuous ranged suppression from the skeletal apprentices, the allied forces' forward positions were finally breached, and a bloody tug-of-war and counter-offensive began.

Lynn's primary focus, subtly through the soul connection, issued commands:

"Wu Liuqi, Xiao Hei, you two use the shadows to infiltrate the shadows of the battlefield, loot the corpses of the fallen, and take away all the storage equipment and valuable materials."

"If there is an opportunity, prioritize assassinating any lone or wounded enemy wizard apprentices and looting their storage equipment."

"Be careful to avoid strong enemy forces and the center of the battlefield; retreat promptly if things become unfavorable."

The purpose of risking one's life to kill the opposing wizard apprentice is to gain contribution points and merit points. The enemies killed will also generate kill marks, and the contribution points and merit points will be recorded in real time on Lynn.

The "Shadow Twins," hidden in Lynn's shadow, wriggled upon receiving the command and then moved among the shadows.

Each of them possesses a "shadow bag," which Lynn bought specifically for them, allowing them to lurk in the shadows.

This type of bag is not considered space equipment, so its internal space is not large, about the size of a regular urea bag, but it can hold a lot of space equipment.

After all, most people's space equipment is extremely small and compact; a cubic meter can hold quite a lot if you stuff it in.

The Shadow Twins did not infiltrate directly into the center of the battlefield, where witchcraft was frequently used to cleanse the area, making it too dangerous.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, roamed the edge of the battlefield, looking for opportunities to kill wizard apprentices and loot the spoils.

Lynn was able to sense their condition and determine their status through the soul connection.

It must be said that these shadow assassins are the natural enemy of wizard apprentices.

They come and go without a trace, disappearing into the shadows after a single strike, making them difficult to catch in this chaotic battlefield.

Unless they are forced out all at once by a powerful area-of-effect spell, they will simply jump away with a Shadow Leap.

The apprentice formation, including Lynn and his group, was also slowly advancing.

It's impossible to rely solely on the undead army to take them down; they need necessary long-range support.

However, this also exposes our side to the enemy's attack range.

The Allied apprentices seized this opportunity and began to concentrate their fire on the apprentices of the Bone Spire.

Soon, a corner of the combined witch array [Bone Barrier] was broken, and then countless witch spells covered that area, pinning the twenty-odd apprentices there to their deaths.

The Allied forces shifted their firepower to the apprentices, which gave the undead legion an opportunity to seize the stronghold.

The battle lasted for most of the day.

When the last Allied Arrow Tower was destroyed by the Corrupted Abomination, and the remaining enemy apprentices fled in panic through small teleportation arrays or tunnels, this battlefield, soaked in blood and mud, temporarily fell into the hands of the Bone Spire.

The Bone Spire has won this area!

But the price of victory was extremely high.

Most of the heavily armored undead issued by the academy were lost, and the apprentices' private undead guards were almost entirely wiped out.

Of the cannon fodder Lynn sent out, only a wounded, skeletal guard staggered back.

Judging by this, it'll probably fall apart if it gets hit again.

Lynn didn't feel bad; he was just cannon fodder anyway, so it was fine to give him away.

Sensing the return of the "Shadow Twins," he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly accepted the two great contributors.

Judging from their overflowing bags, their haul this time must have been quite substantial.

As victory arrived, the apprentices of the Bone Spire did not rejoice; instead, there was widespread lamentation.

Having lost their main bodyguard, the apprentices felt a sharp drop in their sense of security, and resentment towards Ferdinand and the academy's higher-ups began to spread.

"We've wiped out all our undead! What do we do now? Use our bodies to withstand the enemy's witchcraft?!"

"Yes, was it worth losing so many of our lives for this tiny outpost?"

"We must compensate them! That's our life savings that we've accumulated over many years!"

In an instant, resentment filled the entire battlefield, and the apprentices all turned their anger towards the academy.

If this isn't dealt with promptly, these apprentices might just quit on the battlefield.

Just then, a cold, official message came through the magic array, drowning out all the complaints:

"The battle merit system has been updated. Personal kills and contributions are now recorded as contribution points and merit values."

"The frontline emergency exchange is now open. You can use contribution points to exchange for various standard undead at designated logistics points. Some rare undead can be exchanged for at half price with merit points. After the exchange, the command of the undead will belong to the individual."

Everyone was taken aback, and then they all checked their nameplates.

Lynn also glanced at her own harvest.

Thanks to Wu Liuqi and Xiao Hei's secret killing of six wounded third-class apprentices, plus the knights and servants he killed with his own witchcraft, his contribution points increased by a full 13,000!

Hmm... all that adds up to a little over a thousand magic stones, which is nothing compared to the lives of six third-class apprentices.

The merit points also reached 3,000, which are more valuable than contribution points on the battlefield and can be exchanged for a lot of things.

The apprentices' resentment dissipated almost instantly, and a large number of them flocked to the temporary logistics point, fearing that they would run out of goods if they were late.
