Chapter 542: You wouldn't want to plant things on ice, would you?

The Warlock Alliance was gripped by panic, under immense pressure.

At first, they treated this matter as a joke, but they still gave it sufficient attention; after all, even if it wasn't thirty million, thirty thousand would be hard enough for them to handle.

But now that people were actually being mobilized, the Warlock Alliance panicked. They had to face another question: if there really were thirty million in the expeditionary force, what would they do?

"What else can we do? Surrender, or run away," Radiade said.

"Is that necessary? We're in the sky, they can't reach us. We just need to move the Starburst Array over and blast them," Laixina said dismissively.

As soon as he said this, even Cabrella couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You're thinking too simply. If they can really mobilize thirty million people, such a cross-plane expedition means they must have mobilized at least a hundred times that number of personnel. Three billion?"

"Even with food like Elf Beans to reduce the logistical burden, the investment needed for food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and so on would be at least ten times higher. Three hundred million?"

"Our Warlock Alliance has hundreds of thousands of people, but we can only support three to five thousand warlocks. If they can really organize an expeditionary force of thirty million, there is truly no better way than to surrender," Cabrella said dejectedly.

Radiade was not dejected; instead, he was somewhat excited: "No, no, no, these are secondary. More importantly, what kind of system can organize and mobilize thirty million people for an expedition? They aren't undead. Such a social structure, organizational system, and production relations are all worth studying. That will be the direction of our future development."

Laixina was about to go crazy: "At a time like this, stop thinking about research, okay? Why is your curiosity so great? Can't we discuss how to resist them seriously?"

"Why resist?" Radiade asked, puzzled: "Lord Jimo invited them here to conquer the Undead Empire. Not only should we not resist, but we should also cooperate."

Laixina was stunned, then remembered the agreement between the Warlock Jimo and Anthony. Oh right, it was agreed at the time that the Church of Light would conquer the Undead Empire and bring the skeletons out of the Restful Abyss, with the Starburst Array as the reward. These people were here to conquer the Undead Empire.

However, they had been frightened by the possibility of "really having a thirty-million-strong expeditionary force," so they gathered to discuss what to do.

Yet this made Laixina frown even deeper: "Doesn't that mean we are very likely to have to pay out the Starburst Array? They have so many people, it's very possible they could wipe out the undead. The Holy Light Arts are very effective against those dead heads."

Radiade said: "It should be 'more' effective. The Church of Light we know now has been weak for a thousand years, without a backbone, without gods. But these people from the God Realm have already dominated the God Realm, and even the legendary Flash Feiti was captured by them. Can you imagine an undead skeleton loyal to the light?"

"Hiss—" Everyone gasped. It was true; their current understanding of the Church of Light was that of a second-rate force without even a Pope or Archangel.

Yet Anthony belonged to a powerful force that could mobilize hundreds of millions or billions of people and send out an expeditionary force of thirty million. They were completely on different levels. ===== CHAPTER 543 =====
