Under Li Ce's command, the entire foot of the mountain instantly turned into a sea of flames. The soaring firelight nearly illuminated the entire night sky!
When dealing with the undead, aside from fighting a war of attrition, the only truly effective method was probably cremation.
If you burned their bones directly to ash, they would have no way to recover.
However, this method was basically only useful for clearing soldiers. It was ineffective against undead with a certain level of strength.
