Capítulo 1801: Chapter 866: Red Robe Mage Attack_3

Gaven agreed, “The ice storage I plan to create also uses this principle.”

“In this way, most of the war loot can be dealt with appropriately. As for the remaining livestock and warhorses, which are necessities for the military, I suggest adopting large-scale grazing methods in the Great Valley, with collective pastoral farming. As for cattle and sheep, they should be distributed as war pensions to our citizens for self-relief, to alleviate overall pressure.”

“Besides the war pensions, we can also employ work-for-relief methods, as the reconstruction of Ymirma and Muerholand will require a large workforce. The collective grazing of warhorses will also need many herdsmen.”

“This is indeed more sophisticated than mere disaster relief, so let’s proceed according to this plan.”

The Haslan Witches soon shifted the conversation from the handling of war loot to the reconstruction of the Laiserman Kingdom.

Towards various infrastructure projects, they seemed somewhat indifferent compared to their emphasis on the Totem Dreamscape. This left Gaven momentarily without a chance to interject, deciding to wait a little longer.

Once the Totem Dreamscape is fully rolled out, he would see if there were opportunities to get involved.

The lifestyle of the Laiserman Kingdom, which values spirituality over materialism, is not something cultivated overnight.

Focusing on material aspects will undoubtedly be less effective.

However, approaching it from the Totem Dreamscape angle might yield better results, especially with the concepts of the Ether Train and Ether Tunnel. The Laiserman Kingdom has an inherent mass base, making it an ideal testing ground for Gaven.

The battle at Lake Asen had a profound impact on the Laiserman Kingdom. Not only did they cause the Tukan People to lose over half their forces, weakening their military might significantly, but they also dealt a heavy blow to their old enemies.

The Dark Witch Leader Dushan was exiled to the Half-Plane of Fear, and the two strongest second-generation Dark Witches were imprisoned. The leadership of the Dark Witches suffered a fatal blow, leaving only a few second-generation Dark Witches and a group of ineffective third and fourth generations. Their loyalty and strength were nowhere near those of the previous generations.

Without receiving relevant news about the Dushan Witch, they would undoubtedly retreat back into the shadows, not daring to show themselves easily.

Having settled accounts with the Harlans Witches, Gaven privately considered his personal gains, which were equally significant from this battle.

He had already completed most of his plan in the Eastern Desolation.

The Great Valley was already in his possession. Once the personnel were in place, the new agricultural plan could be launched.

His prestige in the Laiserman Kingdom had at least reached a stage of respect. In the Haslan Witches’ Council, he was not merely a participant but could influence their decisions to a certain extent. As long as it was not too confidential a meeting, he could attend as an ally, cleverly turning some of his plans into the council’s, ensuring they were implemented smoothly.

Rescuing Philancy was an unexpected joy, giving him a valuable spellcaster by his side, a great treasure from which he could extract much knowledge.

For instance, the Legendary Spell Raef’s Woven Mist Lock, which she employed in the Nightmare Dream Realm, was far more powerful than the Nine Rings Mist Barrier as a city defense maze lock.

The practicality goes without saying, as Gaven needed it for many purposes.

Furthermore, whether her Nesserel Magic Book, the Scroll of Ioleum, still contained other powerful Nesserel arcane arts.

These things required a gradual approach, using various methods to entice and persuade her to reveal them willingly.

Then there were the gains in the aspect of souls.

Even though he previously entered the Dushan Witch’s Nightmare Dream Realm to rescue the Earth Spirit Witch, the War Ravager remained at the breach of the Ice Great Wall, continuing to execute the previous strategy of besieging three sides to lure the Tukan People into attacking.

This deadly trap allowed him to reap substantial rewards, with the number of Shadow Walker Night Shadow increasing to twelve, and ordinary souls exceeding fifty thousand, enough to compensate for the Undead Divinity he invested into the War Ravager.

This was also the confidence behind his bold move to take on the task of clearing the corpses at Lake Asen.

However, he still underestimated the resentment accumulated in large-scale wars and underestimated the proficiency of the Red Robe Mages of the Kingdom of Ser in timing.

The night after the Tukan People’s attempt to cross the lake ended, just as the battlefield cleaning had begun, the Kingdom of Ser waged war on the Laiserman Kingdom without warning.

Their powerful Skeleton Legion, which had been assembled in Shaisel Province, poured out in full force, filling the entire surface of Mosantiel Lake densely, advancing menacingly towards Mosantiel City in numbers that seemed to surpass the Tukan Army.

The first to take action were the Necromancers of the Kingdom of Ser’s primary mage corps, who teleported directly above the Lake Asen battlefield, recklessly casting various necromancy spells.

The results were predictable, as the place was already filled with resentment and highly concentrated negative energy.

This directly caused their necromancy spells to be imbued with Spell Maximizing effects, reaching their peak power.

Countless Vengeful Spirits danced wildly on the ice surface of Lake Asen, and countless Zombies wrestled within the ice layers, with numerous corpses in the lake opening their eyes, filled with endless black light, starting to attack all living things around them mercilessly.

Due to the battlefield’s particularity, at least half of the corpses on the Lake Asen battlefield were either frozen in the ice layers or sunken at the lake bottom. The ice surface, a meter thick, became their shackle, firmly restraining them.

However, the Spiritual Bodies were not subjected to such restrictions.

It’s just that the number of Incorporeal Undead was pitifully small.

This was a battlefield with the intervention of Divine Power from both sides.

Most souls were either plundered by Gaven’s War Ravager or became part of Khan Yamen’s Power of Slaughter.

To summon an Incorporeal Undead from a body, a fundamental premise must be met: the soul must still linger in the body or remain in the Shadow Underworld, not yet receiving judgment, going to the Divine Realm of the Gods, or being reincarnated.

Regardless of the situation, they cannot be converted into an Incorporeal Undead.

Those who died of old age or received the blessings of the Good God’s Priest cannot be converted into undead.

Only those who died unjustly have a chance of becoming undead.

The Incorporeal Undead appearing on the Lake Asen battlefield were either summoned directly by these necromancers or were the remnants that escaped.

Just like Gaven’s War Ravager, Khan Yamen was not a True God but a usurper of the Power of Slaughter, where there is a limit to the distance for soul harvesting.

If he were present at Lake Asen, he could cover the entire battlefield with his influence.

But when he was forced to follow the Haslan Witches and shift his focus to Mosantiel City, the ensuing battles exceeded his coverage range.

At that time, the intensity of the warfare had significantly diminished, with limited casualties scattered along the lengthy frontline.
