Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Since Lynn's mission is to clear out the remaining enemies within the first and second lines of defense, not to attack an enemy stronghold, there's no need to worry too much about the battlefield situation.

There's no need to worry about going to the front line to your death for now.

However, we need to control the speed. If the clearing is done too quickly, we might be assigned other dangerous tasks after the clearing is completed.

"Is there anything else we need to be careful about inside?" Lynn continued to ask the resident wizard.

The man with the short beard thought for a moment and said, "Nothing else, just try not to get too close to the first line of defense. It's too chaotic there, and high-ranking angels often rush out and catch us off guard."

"You just stay in this middle area and clear out any lone ones. Also, don't go too far by yourself; try to get as close to the defense line as possible to clear them out."

"Although this area is relatively safe, it is not absolutely safe. A few days ago, a guy from the Second Ring Road took advantage of his speed and ran far away by himself, and he never came back."

Lynn nodded.

Where can I collect supplies?

The man with the short beard pointed behind the city wall.

"After you go in, go left. There's a supply depot where you can exchange for weapons, equipment, materials, cultivation resources, and more using contribution points, merit points, or magic stones. Of course, it's not very cost-effective to use magic stones."

"If you need anything, you can also check out the market. We, the wizards stationed here, have set up our own little market right next to the supply depot, where we sell things we don't need ourselves, and the prices are cheaper than at the supply depot."

Lynn thanked them, put away the nameplate, and walked through the city gate.

Behind the city wall is an open area with many detached houses.

The supplies office was a two-story building with a wooden sign hanging at the entrance that read "Supplies Exchange Office".

Lynn pushed open the door and went inside. It wasn't a big room; there was only one room with several shelves against the wall, filled with various material samples.

An old man sat behind the counter, wearing thick glasses and with a ring around his neck, reading a very thick book.

Hearing the door open, the old man looked up, glanced at Lynn, and then lowered his head to continue reading.

"Look for what you want; the price list is posted on the wall."

Lynn turned to look at the wall.

A large parchment was pasted on the wall, covered with dense writing.

Standard Undead:

Skeleton soldiers cost 10 merit points each.

Zombie, 15 merit points per zombie.

Ghoul, 20 merit points per ghoul.

Skeleton Warrior, 50 merit points each.

ghost...

...

The price was cheap, but Lynn wasn't interested. He had plenty of these low-level undead; he didn't need them.

Equipment:

Holy Light Resistance Armor, 500 merit points per piece.

Rune Cannon, 2000 merit points per cannon.

Defense Rune Set, 3000 Merit Points per set.

...

Lynn thought for a moment. His million-strong undead army was blessed with the "Heart of Starbound Domination," so it didn't need armor, and there were too many of them to afford to wear it anyway.

The rune cannon is good, but it's too bulky and only suitable for bombarding large-scale enemies. It's not very effective against angels.

Materials:

Holy Light Crystal, one piece is worth 100 merit points.

Holy Light Essence, 500 merit points per bottle.

Angel feather, 50 merit points each.

Angel skeleton, 200 merit points per piece.

Angel wings, 1000 merit points per pair.

...

Lynn's gaze lingered on the "Angels" category.

Angel corpse, four wings, 5000 merit points per body.

Six-winged, 20000 merit points per unit.

Each item comes with a matching soul, four wings, and costs 3000 merit points.

Six-winged, 15000 merit points each.

...

These corpses are much cheaper than the undead.

It's important to know that a normal level 4 Calamity-level undead requires at least 10,000 merit points, while a level 5 Calamity-level four-winged angel corpse and soul only requires 8000 merit points.

Of course, other wizards could only extract the essence and blood from these angel corpses to create ordinary items like "bone angels".

It's time-consuming, laborious, and resource-intensive, and you can only reach level 4. It's better to spend two thousand more merits to choose a pure and docile undead.

But Lynn was different; he had crafting experience and analytical aids, so crafting undead didn't take him much effort.

More importantly, the corpse and soul of a six-winged angel only cost 35,000 merit points, which is less than the price of a Cataclysmic undead.

The six-winged angel was a third-ringed being in life, and although its strength was greatly reduced after death, its foundation remained.

To forge a Fallen Angel, at least a high-level Cataclysmic One, is far more cost-effective than buying a ready-made Cataclysmic Undead, and the Fallen Angel is much stronger.

Even among natural disaster-level items, it's considered top-tier.

Lynn mentally calculated his merit points.

I earned a total of 750,000 merit points from the previous missions, and with the merit points from clearing out the Holy Light creatures during this period, the total is about 970,000.

Lynn turned to look at the old man. "How many angel corpses and souls are there?"

The old man turned a page of his book without even looking up. "Look at the price list yourself, it's written there."

"I'm asking about inventory."

The old man finally raised his head. He took off his glasses, looked Lynn up and down, and sized him up.

How much do you want?

"I want as many as you have."

Upon hearing this, the old man realized he had encountered a big customer. He put his glasses back on, pulled out a thick ledger from under the counter, and flipped through it.

"Eight six-winged angel corpses in stock. Eight six-winged angel souls in stock, all in sets."

"Forty-six four-winged angel corpses and forty-three four-winged angel souls are in stock. Do you want them all?"

Eight with six wings, and forty-six with four wings.

With the two six-winged and seven four-winged creatures he already possessed, he could gather ten six-winged creatures and fifty-three four-winged creatures.

Ten fallen angels, more than fifty fallen angels of holy light, and angels of withered bones.

They also had the beginnings of an angelic legion.

"I want them all," Lynn said.

The old man paused for a moment, then quickly did some calculations.

Eight six-winged angel corpses, each worth 20,000, totaling 160,000.

The souls of six-winged angels, eight in total, each worth 15,000, totaling 120,000.

The corpses of four-winged angels, forty-six in total, each worth five thousand, totaling two hundred and thirty thousand.

Four-winged angel souls, forty-three in total, three thousand each, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand.

He added it all up, did the calculation again, and pushed the paper in front of Lynn.

"A total of 639,000 merit points. Are you sure?"

Lynn glanced at the numbers and said without hesitation, "Confirm."

This isn't a store; the price is what it is, there's no such thing as discounts or rounding down.

The old man stared at him for a few seconds, then stood up, walked to a door at the back, opened it, and called out to someone inside.

"Bring out all the angel corpses and souls from the storeroom: eight with six wings, forty-six with four wings, and matching souls."

Someone inside responded.

The old man closed the door, walked back behind the counter, sat down, and reopened the book.

Lynn glanced at it curiously.

"The Untold Story of Lilith the Succubus"...

Hmm... why does this book title look so familiar?

Before long, footsteps were heard from behind, and several apprentices came out of the door, each carrying several large boxes.

They piled the boxes next to the counter and opened them; inside were sealed containers.

The first box contained the corpses of eight six-winged angels, perfectly preserved with their wings intact, and their armor and weapons still intact.

The second box contained eight soul containers.

The third box contained the corpse of a four-winged angel, the container was piled high.

The fourth box contained more than forty soul containers, sealed in crystal bottles, with golden light dancing inside.

Lynn crouched down and examined each body one by one.

The six-winged angel's corpse had white, even elastic skin, showing no signs of decay or drying out.

The feathers on the wings were intact and had not fallen off, and the runes on the armor were still glowing, although they were somewhat damaged.

He picked up a bottle of souls and probed into it with his spiritual power.

The golden soul is pure, like solidified honey.

These souls are temporarily unconscious, sealed away, and very quiet.

"No problem." Lynn stood up, took out his nameplate from the ring, and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the plaque, swiped it on a device, deducted 639,000 merit points, and returned the plaque.

Lynn carefully placed the boxes into his ring, making sure all the corpses and souls were safely stored before turning to leave.
