The help from Intelligent Soul not only granted the lower-level barbarians the knowledge level of Level Three Great Wizard, but also gave the Barbarian God a wealth of new knowledge.
During their expedition, they could easily obtain a wealth of information through Intelligent Soul, but this was their first encounter with the Undead World.
Moreover, the Undead World here is very different from the Undead World described in the Intelligent Soul.
The normal Undead World is filled with the aura of death; it is a paradise of darkness and souls, a forbidden land for life.
The land should be filled with wailing souls and raven singing death songs in the dim light...
But this Undead World has no dark energy that could harm life; instead, it is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, sunlight bathes the earth, and vast farmlands stretch from one foot to the horizon...
What struck the barbarian army even more strangely was that the people working in the fields were both the undead and the living, and they were actually working together amicably...
Two life forms that should be opposites coexist in a strange yet harmonious way!
As the barbarian army tore open the spatial passage and stepped in, the living and the undead worked together seamlessly to complete simple defensive fortifications, clearly demonstrating that they had familiar and effective strategies for dealing with war.
Although they were like a grain of sand facing a towering wave in front of a barbarian army of tens of millions, they would be completely torn apart with the slightest touch.
But this world situation, which was completely beyond reason, still left the barbarians somewhat bewildered.
By sensing the World Will, this world is indeed ruled by the undead, but they have not killed all life; instead, they live in harmony with life.
It's understandable for undead to want to sustain life and maintain their numbers, but in battle, many undead are protecting life, which is highly unusual!
The strangest thing is that the entire world was designed with survival in mind, with only a few places filled with a lot of dark elements.
The rulers are undead, but they seem to serve the living more than anything else!
"A strange world, but this is more conducive to our conquest, since a traditional Undead World is of no use to us."
Baturu had already sensed the powerful aura emanating from this Undead World; they had taken notice of the situation here.
"Let's go, let's meet the rulers here."
Baturu's eyes were deep; he sensed a large amount of energy at level four or higher, which perfectly matched his needs...
High above the Undead World,
Baturu led the twelve Barbarian God to meet the ruler of this Undead World.
He was a powerful skeletal warrior seated on a throne, surrounded by countless skeleton legions... carrying the aura of a seasoned Level Six warrior embodying the World Will!!
Blue flames burned inside the skull's head; these were the flames of the soul, the condition for the dead to survive in the world.
The two sides attacked the moment they met, and as they sized each other up, they both felt immense pressure from the other.
"Fifty-five people are at or above level four, thirty-eight are at level four, thirteen are at level five, and four are at level six!"
Having seen the powerful figure opposite him, the Hasake, somewhat lacking confidence, transmitted his voice to Baturu.
This is the most powerful force the barbarian army has encountered since conquering the surrounding world. In terms of both numbers and level, this Undead World truly lives up to its reputation as a large world, possessing immense power.
The first group of barbarians to arrive numbered thirteen, including eight level four, four level five, and only one level six, Baturu.
They were outnumbered by the opposing undead skeletons, and with the help and suppression of the World Will, their strength was hardly enough to contend with the enemy!
"Invaders from another world, state your names and kneel in submission to the great Emperor Nado, or the Pool of the Undead will be your final resting place."
A level four undead skeleton was pointing a sword at Baturu. The heavy armor on its body and the black and gold greatsword in its hand indicated that it was a melee-type skeleton.
"Lowly skeletons, we are a great army from the Barbarian World, here to save your lives!" the Hasake shouted.
Baturu ignored the exchange between the two and instead carefully scanned the skeletons with his gaze, discovering something particularly interesting.
These skeletons were all carrying weapons and wearing armor or robes; if it weren't for their skeletal appearance, they would look exactly like them in life.
You can sense the aura of different times emanating from these undead. Many skeletons exude an ancient aura, while others are clearly newly created, including the skeleton sitting on the throne, who looks more like a skeleton created a few years ago.
Necromantic magic can summon back the dead who died in the river of time, but it will always come with a decrease in strength. However, what Baturu saw was not like that. These skeletons had clearly retained all the power they had in life.
The aura emanating from them wasn't even the dark, necromantic aura of the dead; it also possessed the aura of various elemental energies.
If it weren't for the uncanny resemblance of skeletons, no one would mistake them for an army of the undead!
'What an interesting world.'
This is Baturu's impression of this Undead World.
However, the more it is like this, the more it aligns with one's goals.
The skeleton sitting on the throne and Baturu locked eyes as they sized each other up. Baturu didn't sense any murderous intent or anger in his gaze; it was a very calm one.
There seemed to be little hatred towards these invading barbarians; they were merely a source of amusement in the mundane routine of life.
"Kill him."
But amidst this calm and utterly devoid of killing intent, the skeleton seated on the throne suddenly raised its hand and gave orders to the skeleton army around it.
"Roar"
The skeletons, who were conversing just a moment ago, suddenly had their undead fire turn red in an instant, and roars of fury emanating from the depths of their souls echoed.
Fifty level four or higher skeletons, along with a million level three skeletons, charged towards Baturu and his group.
First came the howling elemental energy attack. Just as Baturu had thought, they weren't using necromancy, but rather a variety of elemental energies. Ironically, the skeletons using necromancy were the fewest in number.
"Retreat quickly, go back and call for reinforcements."
Baturu shouted, then was the first to turn and run.
The Barbarian God beside him was taken aback by Baturu's actions, clearly not expecting that the valiant Baturu would be the first to flee.
But it was too late when they tried to escape. The twelve Barbarian God were surrounded by the Skeleton Army, with each Barbarian God having to face more than three opponents of the same level on average.
Suppression from the World Will and attacks from powerful adversaries have completely trapped the twelve Barbarian God.
Even the fleeing Baturu was pursued by three level-six skeletons, as if Baturu's fate was already sealed.
Seeing the three level-six skeletons hot on his heels, Baturu urgently summoned the Intelligent Soul within his body.
[This world is too dangerous. I order the entire army to retreat to the Barbarian World immediately.]
[My lord, according to the AI analysis, the Barbarian World only needs to send forty Barbarian God to achieve an 80% or higher win rate. Please confirm the order again. Should we issue the order for a full retreat?]
Intelligent Soul do not completely obey commands; they also analyze and judge the situation based on the current circumstances and make the judgment that best suits the situation.
Baturu let out a low, angry shout.
Execute my command!
[Yes, as you command, the order for a full withdrawal has been issued.]
After sending the command, Baturu stopped running. Looking at the three skeletons chasing after him, his eyes showed no fear as he had fled; instead, they were filled with indifference, as if he hadn't even seen the three skeletons of equal level before him.
His eyes flickered, clearly indicating he was thinking something else, or perhaps he was communicating with other life forms!
"Cowardly god, your weakness will ruin countless people."
A level six skeleton completely despised Baturu's shameless act of abandoning his own kind to cover the retreat. Baturu was the strongest, but no one expected him to run away first.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, but I really have some important things to think about."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I might suddenly kill you all. Now that things have been discussed, your fate is decided."
A seemingly apologetic smile appeared on Baturu's face as his massive body moved, charging towards the three level-six skeletons.
Without any communication, the three level-six skeletons, who had been cooperating for countless years, instantly raised their heavy swords and slashed down at Baturu.
A level six expert's casual strike possesses terrifying power.
But Baturu acted as if he hadn't seen them, appearing directly beneath their heavy swords and letting them strike him.
"??"
"Pfft"
The three level-six skeletons, seeing that Baturu hadn't attacked at all, but instead appeared to be under their attacks, assumed he had some kind of powerful defensive ability. However, they didn't expect that the heavy sword in their hands would pierce through so easily.
They sensed that Baturu was incredibly powerful, even stronger than them despite being suppressed by the World Will, yet the result was so unexpected...
They were just saying they were going to kill all three of them, but then they got injured by those pretty girls??
Is the CET-6 certificate fake?
The level 6 skeleton was momentarily caught off guard by its own instantaneous hit, like having the illusion that a reinforced concrete building in front of you could withstand a missile, only to have it collapse when a small firecracker explodes.
In a moment of carelessness, Baturu, with three wounds on his body, broke through their attack and charged towards the twelve besieged Barbarian God.
Three level-six skeletons were in hot pursuit, only to find that while Baturu's defense wasn't strong, his speed was incredibly fast, and they couldn't catch up no matter how hard they tried.
After a few breaths, Baturu saw the twelve Barbarian God who were surrounded. The brief battle had not yet caused them any serious injuries, but the fighting was indeed completely suppressed. If no one came to their rescue, their fate was destined to be to die here.
