Chapter 570: The Two Armies Face Off: The Terrifying Might of Nazarick!

At the same time, Xia Tiya and Kose Tesi traveled to the Angelesia Mountains and used their overwhelming power to conquer several dragon clans there.

They also brought along tens of thousands of burrowing beastmen and the dwarven nation skilled in forging.

Shengzai summoned multiple guardians from the southern desert “Eliuntio,” and armed the thirty-million-strong subhuman army with numerous magical equipments from the “Eight Desires King” treasury.

It was the tenth day since the establishment of the Magic Kingdom and its declaration of war against the Empire.

After days of preparation, both sides finally formed a face-to-face confrontation on the hills of Kaz Plain, at the border between the Empire and the Kingdom.

The allied forces of the various nations assembled over one million three hundred thousand troops into multiple formations.

Yet in terms of quality, the one million three hundred thousand troops were clearly uneven.

The Empire deployed five hundred thousand troops, but its elite soldiers amounted to at most two hundred thousand.

The remaining three hundred thousand soldiers were mostly conscripted recruits or regular troops pulled from various imperial cities.

The Kingdom’s two hundred thousand soldiers were on par with the Empire’s elite troops.

As the strongest human nation, the Siren Theocracy sent three hundred thousand troops whose overall quality was slightly superior to those of the Empire and the Kingdom.

But what shocked everyone most was the thirty-million-strong subhuman army on this side.

Thanks to the “evolutionary force” granted by Shengzai, the subhuman race had undergone a complete transformation.

Not only had their appearances changed drastically, but their individual strength and quality had also risen significantly.

What further astonished the other nations was that Shengzai’s thirty-million-strong subhuman army was fully equipped with expensive magical gear.

Previously, Emperor Gilknifer had worried that the subhuman race were merely fillers.

But now, seeing the disciplined, exceptionally high-quality subhuman army equipped with magical weapons, he was left speechless.

This was practically a mythic army!

With the “Ten Great Subhuman Heroes” surpassing the realm of human heroes, plus this well-equipped thirty-million-strong subhuman army, Gilknifer had no doubt that this single force could sweep across the entire continent.

After seeing this army, Gilknifer’s resolve to marry the “Golden Princess” grew even stronger.

He was determined to cling to this brother-in-law’s thigh!

What did the Siren Theocracy matter? Even if Shengzai ultimately didn’t break ties with the Kingdom, this army’s strength alone was enough to rule the continent.

When they saw the fully armed thirty-million-strong subhuman army, the Siren Theocracy and the Kingdom were equally stunned.

The Siren Theocracy’s high-ranking officers, watching the transformed subhuman army and the Empire and Kingdom both following Shengzai’s lead, now frowned deeply.

The Empire and the Kingdom had ambiguous ties with the Kingdom’s Third Prince, who was also their homeland, and now he held such military power— their position among the human nations was in grave danger.

“Prince Shengzai is truly extraordinary; I never imagined that in such a short time, he turned those once unruly, beastlike subhumans into this peerless army.”

The Kingdom’s Princess, riding a unicorn, gazed at the young knight in full armor commanding the subhuman army in the distance, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Beside her, her two companions, Remetios and Kuirat, also wore expressions of reverence and admiration.

Unlike the Siren Theocracy, which feared Shengzai, the Kingdom had no cause for alarm.

After all, in the Princess’s eyes, as long as Shengzai married her, the entire Kingdom would eventually become his.

The stronger Shengzai became, the better it was for the entire Kingdom.

“Lord Nigen, the threat posed by the Kingdom’s Third Prince is growing ever greater.

After we defeat the undead of the Magic Kingdom, we must report this to the High Priests of the Six Sacred Scrolls and seek permission to eliminate Prince Shengzai.”

Upon hearing this, Nigen nodded in agreement, but after exchanging a glance with Otto behind him, he silently added the Theocracy’s high-ranking officer to his blacklist.

Just as the allied forces finished deploying their troops, on the other side of Kaz Plain, a thick aura of death spread through the air, and an army of the dead marched forth in full force.

As Old Bone snapped his fingers, the previously clear sky instantly darkened with storm clouds.

First came spectral knights clad in blue flames, riding nightmare steeds to form a cavalry line.

Behind them marched rows of skeletons clad in golden armor, each holding the flag of the Magic Kingdom, forming multiple orderly corridors.

Along these corridors, the guardians of Nazarick Mausoleum appeared one by one, each accompanied by their subordinates.

Behind Demiurge stood the Three Demon Generals and countless high-ranking demons.

Behind Xia Tiya stood hundreds of vampire brides, each as powerful as Gajef.

Behind Kose Tesi stood hundreds of snow maidens, each as powerful as Gajef.

(Gajef: I’m the strongest warrior of the Kingdom— when did I become a unit of measurement?! )

Behind Aoula and Mare stood all manner of monsters— chimeras, dragons, you name it.

And every one of these monsters was formidable; any single one could destroy a human kingdom.

Behind these guardians loomed a colossal figure—the fourth-layer guardian of Nazarick Mausoleum, Golem Gargantua. With each step he took, the ground trembled violently.

When this massive form halted and slowly opened its palm, a figure holding a staff and draped in a black cloak appeared before the allied forces.

Seeing the Magic Kingdom’s extravagant display, the allied forces, who had just been stunned by the subhuman army’s pressure, were now utterly speechless.

Previously, the four-nation alliance of one million three hundred thousand troops—including Gilknifer, who had already seen Old Bone—had believed their chances of victory were high.

But now, seeing this scene, Gilknifer finally understood: he had vastly underestimated the Magic Kingdom’s strength.

Their four-nation alliance had mustered one million three hundred thousand troops.

Yet the Magic Kingdom alone fielded approximately one million five hundred thousand undead soldiers!

Though many of these undead were lowly skeletons, the number of high-ranking undead was still substantial.

Beyond the undead, their ranks also included vast numbers of vampires, demons, snow maidens, dragons, and monsters.

The combined numbers of lizardmen, dwarves, and burrowing beastmen reached over one hundred fifty thousand!

Pooling the strength of four nations, in both quantity and quality, the alliance held no advantage.
