They thought for a moment, then changed their targets, starting to charge into the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some blocked fishmen soldiers rushing out from inside the castle, while others began to destroy the Crystal Palace’s structures directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action filled the Well Dragon King, standing at the balcony, with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should all die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Well Dragon King shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Well Dragon King’s view, this was a slap to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the establishment of the Well Dragon Palace, he had never faced such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a disgrace to the Well Dragon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these thoughts, the Well Dragon King, wielding his large saber, jumped directly from the balcony, his saber sweeping horizontally, cutting at least a dozen undead nearby in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing those undead, the Well Dragon King didn’t pause, but quickly rushed towards the city gate that had fallen into his castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had discerned that this gate was the key; as long as it was eliminated, preventing the continuous emergence of undead troops, his Well Dragon Palace still had a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Well Dragon King never expected that the troops Gu Xi sent over this time numbered just about two thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with everyone in place, Gu Xi no longer needed to keep the city gate here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, with a wave of his hand, two additional city gates appeared in front of the Crystal Palace, aligned with the initial steel city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forming a platform where skeleton shooters and skeleton mages could stand, confronting the enemy head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-10T07:09:16.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe8eac6416188a452a52eea61564155f22705b45be0a1416340d45945244138c","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-366","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-364",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
