A torrent of pale white and green swept wildly across all living things on the grassland.

Cows, sheep, rats, rabbits...

As long as there is any sign of life, there is no escaping the fate of being discovered by the dead.

All the animals that were discovered were killed by the wolf riders with a single spear thrust, and used to supplement the army's rations.

After these corpses are resurrected by the skeleton mage using the Undead technique, all the flesh and blood on their bodies will be integrated into the bones, making them completely inedible.

Furthermore, the bones, having lost their flesh and blood, are completely unable to be resurrected by the undead, which Lin Fan found quite regrettable.

However, before encountering these three brothers, the Skeleton Mage had already revived tens of thousands of skeletons by relying on the numerous creatures on the grassland. In addition, he had also killed the hellish beasts during the attack on the town, which brought him to a total of 100,000 skeletons.

These skeletons were carried back to the divine realm at an extremely fast speed by 5 gargoyles, one in each hand.

For the past week, the three of them have not encountered any battles. Even in the towns they have visited, the hellish beasts have long since vanished, leaving not even a trace of food behind.

Fortunately, the skeletons don't need to eat; otherwise, the supplies for nearly 20 million of their followers would have worn them down.

Even so, food is still in short supply.

"My gargoyle has just scouted the town; it's empty, there's nothing to eat."

Lin Fan spoke calmly, recounting the results of Jiang Mengyao's investigation.

"Another deserted town..."

Huo Zhengye murmured.

"My armored centipede can go for several days without eating after a full meal, but orcs and goblins can't."

Qin Wugong suddenly spoke.

"We now have three options. The first is to turn back and take more food with us."

"The second is to change the route of advance, instead of advancing diagonally, we should march directly eastward, where other human demigods might have food."

"The third thing is to take down the city that Brother Fan scouted a few days ago. With the military strength of that city, there must be a lot of food stored up."

After listening, Lin Fan thought for a moment and then decided not to speak, waiting for the other two guys' opinions.

"Let's fight. We'll have to fight sooner or later. With so many troops, it would be so embarrassing if we had to retreat."

Huo Zhengye spoke without the slightest hesitation, clearly indicating that he had long had his eye on that city.

"I'm fine with it too, go ahead and do it."

Zhou Junyu also spoke up, not wanting to turn back home just because of food.

As for the second option, they hadn't even considered it. Having struggled for so long in the barren resource wells, they knew all too well how high the risks of "gambling" were.

Of course, even if they did choose the second option, Lin Fan would still persuade them to give up. After all, Jiang Mengyao knew perfectly well whether the human demigods nearby had any extra food.

"Then let's fight. I can attack two sides of the city walls, and the rest is up to you."

Seeing the two of them together, Lin Fan naturally had no objections. The Skeleton Legion had many extraordinary and ordinary-level troops, so he certainly wouldn't miss out on this kind of "leveling up" opportunity.

Moreover, even if all the hellish beasts in that city were transformed, they would only amount to a mere hundred thousand new skeletons. Given the current size of the skeleton army, these hundred thousand new skeletons are naturally not as important as before.

However, if we can't convert the hundreds of thousands of hellish beasts into food, surely other clans can?

"Okay, Brother Fan, then we'll attack the front and right flank walls, and you can have the rest of the walls?"

Huo Zhengye spoke solemnly. As the one with the strongest clan among the three, the other two naturally listened to him when it came to warfare. In Huo Zhengye's mind, this was the most reliable method at present. If one person attacked a city wall, his orcs would suffer heavy losses if they did not have Ironclad Centipedes as shields.

The wolf riders and the armored centipede each have their own difficulties, so it would be much easier for the three of them to join forces.

As for Lin Fan, Huo Zhengye even felt that he could easily take over the city by himself.

"Sure, but I have one condition."

Lin Fan sharpened his claws and spoke, the flames in his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"If you need anything, just tell Brother Fan. If it's within my power, why wouldn't I do it for you?"

Huo Zhengye patted his chest, keeping the brotherhood in his heart.

"I won't turn the hellish beasts I kill into skeletons for you to eat, but how about I turn your fallen kin into skeletons? Of course, I won't do it in front of you kin, to avoid lowering your morale."

"Yes, yes, of course! Thank you so much, Brother Fan!"

Huo Zhengye grabbed Lin Fan's hand, his voice trembling with excitement.

"It's nothing, don't mention it, it's my pleasure."

Lin Fan was not surprised at all by Huo Zhengye's performance.

Since these three chose to form an alliance, they naturally couldn't eat each other's Familia. Otherwise, if food became scarce, who knew if your Familia would attack mine out of hunger?

In this situation, even if the three were gods, it would be difficult to restrain them. After all, they were all going to die, so who cared about whether they were gods or not? Survival was the most important thing!

As for whether the three of them would feel uncomfortable about turning the corpses of these clansmen into skeletons.

Just kidding. If Lin Fan hadn't asked for these corpses, the three of them would have definitely taken them with blank cards and sold them on the trading platform after they got out. The price of extraordinary corpses is not low, so they certainly wouldn't waste them in the secret realm.

Even the corpses of these hellish beasts would not be fed to their own kind if there were no other food available in the secret realm.

The corpses of these extraordinary races have always been quite valuable. Rather than feeding them to one's own kin, it's better to sell them and use the proceeds to provide more food for the kin.

Having decided to attack the city, the four of them didn't hesitate and immediately ordered their clansmen to change direction.

Among them, Jiang Mengyao and Qin Wugong were naturally the most relaxed. Because their clans were not very intelligent, they could simply issue divine decrees. However, Huo Zhengye and Zhou Junyu each revealed huge divine figures. Although their divine phantoms looked different, they were equally majestic, tall, and exuded divinity. They were obviously experienced charlatans.

This would naturally increase the faith of the clan, but each time a divine phantom appeared, it would consume divine power, which would add up to a considerable amount over time.

As the army drew closer, the city's face came into view.

The city walls are made of a thick layer of rock, with mud connecting the rocks, and very obvious burn marks can be seen.

The city wall is over 20 meters high and extends as far as the eye can see. Just from this one wall, Lin Fan could see more than one city gate.

On the city wall, hellish beasts patrolled at intervals. They appeared in the distance, but the city gates had already closed by then, and the hellish beasts on the city wall gathered at an extremely fast speed.
