“There is such a book?” Irina was thoughtful. It was indeed right to read voraciously. She simply wondered if the books left behind by their forebears had recorded similar catastrophes before?

  “Actually, I still want to try the Holy Water, but I can’t find anything like it,” Mag said casually.

  Irina looked at Mag and seriously asked, “Holy Water? Spring of Life? Or is it that holy water that those Roth Empire’s religion-related con artists used to scam people of their money?”


  “Religious con artist.” Mag remembered the Pope who was trying to get Amy to be their holy maiden. Because the church’s presence was too low, he had forgotten all about them.

  Speaking of it…


  They were really quite authentic. He wondered if their holy water was useful to the Army of the Dead?

  As for the Spring of Life.

  He could test it out once they returned to Chaos City.

  However, compared to cinnabar, which was a cheap mineral, the Spring of Life was something that could save casualties on the battlefield.

  It was a little too extravagant to use it against the skeleton men.

  “Let’s try out the Spring of Life when we get back. If it’s not very lethal against the high-level skeleton men, we’ll use it to save our people,” Mag said.

  The purple-striped griffin flew into Chaos City and landed in the city lord’s castle.

  Michael watched the images in the photostone. He was shocked when he saw how the peach wood arrowheads with cinnabar shattered the skulls right away.

  “Alex, you’re really a genius!”


  Updates by

  Michael looked at Mag with amazement. He knew very well what that meant.

  The low-level warriors that made up the majority of the allied forces, would have their lethality sharply increased.

  “I want to gather all the representatives now and ask them to supply as much peach wood and cinnabar as possible. At the same time, we have to gather ample glutinous rice and send them to the frontline,” Mag said.

  “Alright. I will send my people to get the liaisons from all the races to the meeting room.” Michael nodded. Given the allied forces’ size, this wasn’t a workload that Chaos City could undertake alone.

  Soon, all the races’ liaisons arrived at the meeting room.

  As the allied forces’ chief commander, after displaying peach wood and cinnabar’s lethality to the skeleton men, Mag asked all the races to locate and cut down peach wood to make arrowheads and weapons and dig and grind up more cinnabar to equip their soldiers.

  As the demons’ liaison, Camilla also took part in this meeting. “I know that there is a peach blossom island in the Boundless Sea Realm. The island is full of peach trees.”


  Mag lit up his eyes and asked, “How big is the island?”


  Camilla pondered briefly and said, “It’s enough to equip the 100,000 strong demon legion.”


  “Great. Then, you guys will handle the enhancement of the demon legion’s weapons yourself.” Mag nodded. It was a great thing that they had solved the weapons’ issue for 100,000 allied forces.

  Jinx said, “If I remember correctly, there are also mountains full of peach trees under Dragon Island. It’s huge and it will be a good source for peach wood if we need it.”


  “Can you ascertain the location? How big is it specifically?” Mag asked Jinx.

  Jinx thought for a while before saying, “It’s at the east of the Golden Dragon Island. I’m not sure about the exact location, but it’s huge. The peach trees covered a few mountain ranges, so it wouldn’t be hard to find.”


  Mag nodded and ordered, “Alright. You’ll set off to ascertain the location and scale right now. After reporting, I’ll send teams of loggers there immediately to cut them down.”


  “Alright.”


  Jinx left with his orders. He soon turned into a golden dragon and disappeared in the sky above the city lord’s castle.

  “It might not be easy to find peach trees on a big scale, but there are definitely many peach trees around. You guys have to try your best to collect more peach wood, make them into weapons and give them to our soldiers.” Mag halted before saying to all the liaisons, “Sometimes, the people will become your greatest fortune. If they can give you the peach trees that they planted in their homes, I believe we’ll have more than enough of them.”


  The Roth Empire’s liaison lit up his eyes. It indeed wasn’t easy to find a whole patch of peach trees, but many people planted peach trees in their yards in Rodu.

  “We, the goblins, can accelerate the mining of the cinnabar, but the process of grinding it into powder and transporting it will have to be done by all the races themselves,” the goblins’ liaison said.

  “That’s fine.” Mag nodded. The goblins’ tasks were also very heavy right now.

  However, the cinnabar wasn’t an important mineral. Other than the goblins, it wasn’t practical to ask all the races to mine it themselves within a short period of time.

  “There’s one more thing. We need a large amount of glutinous rice. Even though it’s not effective against the high-level skeleton men, it could effectively disintegrate the charge of the Army of the Dead due to its oppression on the low-level skeleton men,” Mag continued to say as his gaze landed on the Roth Empire’s liaison.

  On the Norland Continent, other than the farmers in Chaos City who would plant glutinous rice in a small amount, only the Roth Empire could provide the glutinous rice in bulk.

  The liaison gravely said, “I will relay your orders back. The Roth Empire will do our best to gather all the materials needed.”


  Mag nodded before gravely saying, “The last point is this. All the races’ allied forces have to assemble quickly and go to the North. The Army of the Dead’s movement is unknown, but they should be close to the edge of the ice plain. Whichever race fails to arrive at the foremost position on time will be court-martialed.”


  “Yes, Sir!”


  All the liaisons looked solemn.

  The extraordinary meeting ended and all the liaisons passed their messages back to their respective races urgently.

  Meanwhile, Mag and Irina came to the Gray Temple’s martial arts field.

  “These fellows don’t look like they are easy to deal with,” said Sean as he watched Irina release 100-odd bundled up skeleton men from her space magic ring. He sucked in a cold breath.

  These skeletons were of various sizes and races. Some of their races couldn’t even be determined.

  They should belong to those races that had already gone extinct in the ancient times.

  And, the power of these skeleton men varied too. There were weak low-level skeletons that were as small as monkeys and also giant high-level skeletons that were as big as giant dragons.

  With the images he saw previously and the proof provided by these 100-odd skeletons, Sean felt his scalp tingle as soon as he thought about the 1,000,000 skeleton army at the north preparing to sweep through the Norland Continent.

  If Alex and Irina didn’t discover them beforehand and warn them in advance, allowing them to form the allied forces in time, the consequences would have been dire.

  “There aren’t many of them. We will leave them here to the Gray Temple to practise and run tests on them. The job to provide first-hand information to the allied forces is yours now,” Mag said to Sean.

  When it comes to intelligence gathering and experimental rigor, Mag knew he was far inferior to the Gray Temple.

  Of course, he would have to leave these to the professionals.

  “However, before that, I still need to do one more experiment.” Mag took out a crossbow, put on a normal arrow, took out a bottle of Spring of Life and dripped two drops on the arrowhead before firing it at a 7th-tier skeleton.

  The arrow hit the skull, but it only left a faint mark on the skull. The Spring of Life didn’t provide any enhancements to it.

  “Indeed, this holy water isn’t that Holy Water.” Mag shook his head and put away the Spring of Life.
