The Undead Troops also stopped outside the Filth Land.
They shifted from an offensive formation to a defensive one, began slaughtering the monsters around them, and reduced their consumption at the same time.
"Following the lord's orders, Bone Four, you'll stay outside and provide support."
Isroya spoke.
Bone Four nodded. The strategy had been arranged long ago. It was precisely because someone had to command the troops and remain behind that the lord had chosen it to lead the army.
Bone Four understood the meaning.
Defense and stability came first.
The Undead Troops' role was not to slaughter the monsters surging out. They had to contract their formation, avoid the monsters' advance, and recover from the energy they had consumed along the way.
If the subjugation team's battle went poorly, they might even have to escort the generals away.
Their duty was a heavy one.
And it, Ni Gu La Si, would carry out its orders with absolute caution.
Isroya took out several Ice Purity Potions that had only recently been refined. She distributed them to everyone and continued, "Potions aren't omnipotent. They can only greatly reduce the rate at which the Red Mist Filth corrodes us. As long as we aren't seriously injured, we who drink the potions should have roughly four to six hours of complete safety... Since we lack detailed data, the duration can't be estimated precisely."
"After that, we'll inevitably acquire debuffs such as 'mental weakness,' 'dizziness,' and 'bloodshot eyes.' After a while, symptoms like 'phantom sounds in the ears' and 'hallucinations' will appear... If we still can't purify the Filth Nest by then, we'll have no choice but to retreat tactically."
Duo Duo: "Ohhh."
Wait, how many stages had she mentioned just now?
It wasn't important anyway.
"Good, that settles it. Let's go."
