Xuan Zi was shocked by these light-attribute undead creatures, but he soon realized that what the Undead Army in the Other Shore Small World could accomplish was by no means limited to the little Chen Ping had shown while deliberately reining in its production capacity.
It was certainly good that the liches could undertake the manufacture of more precise, intricate soul tools, but compared with the boundless Undead Army, their numbers were actually tiny. The true wealth within the Other Shore Small World should have been this Undead Legion that obeyed every command without fail.
Mining, metallurgy, nonferrous metals, transportation-all these industries contained vast amounts of low-complexity work that required large numbers of people to fill the positions.
