“This…this…” Zhao Manyan gasped in disbelief. He did not expect the ancient ruins lying across the yellow land were actually consisted of such a magnificent Earth Magic!

The ancient wall swiftly emerged from the ground. It went from a short barrier to an enormous rocky dam. Its height had surpassed the buildings in the fortress, as if it was rising straight into the sky!

The people in the Northguard Fortress stared at the imperious wall in disbelief. They had been here for quite some time, yet they never knew the ancient wall was actually a line of defense like a heavenly dam. Even the Yoked were helpless against the sturdy and magnificent ancient wall!

The wall was surprisingly solid. Even though the Yoked were flinging their chains at the wall, they did not leave a single scratch on it. The Yoked combined their strength and tried to raze the wall to the ground, yet it remained solid, and did not even budge.

“Come with me!” Commander Bin Wei yelled.

Several demon lilies grew toward the ancient wall continuously. Its petals formed a bridge to the top of the magnificent wall!

The soldiers were dazed. It took some time for Captain Chang Yi and the aide-de-camp to finally gather their wits. They quickly led the soldiers and made their way toward the marvelous ancient wall across the bridge of lilies…

“It’s my first time witnessing the true appearance of the Great Wall…” Lingling lifted her gaze and stared at the enormous wall. She was also struggling to stay calm.

She had long heard rumors about a special group of people in their country that had inherited the power to control the Great Wall. In the past, when humans stopped relying on the protection of Totem Beasts, the Great Wall was the most important line of defense protecting the Central Plain. Their ancestors used to face hordes or even kingdoms of demon creatures, so many people were confused about why they relied on such an ordinary-looking wall protecting the country during ancient times.

The territory of their country had expanded further north. Inner Mongolia was now part of their country. The Great Wall ended up as a line of defense within their country, and was no longer the northernmost defense of their country. On top of that, as time passed, the number of people that knew how to control the ancient defensive formation gradually decreased…

It explained why Bin Wei was so angry at Zhao Manyan’s comment at the beginning. It turned out that she was one of the successors who had inherited the power to control the Great Wall!

A person like her was indeed the best candidate to be the Commander of the Northguard Fortress!

“Who would have expected that our Northguard Fortress had such a powerful ancient wall as our defense, HAHAHA!” Chang Yi burst out laughing. The pressure and fear he felt from the undead had dissipated.

Many people were unaware of why the Northguard Fortress existed in the first place, until they witnessed the true appearance of the ancient wall today. The soldiers regained their confidence after seeing the spectacular defense, like a natural wall of mountains!

Many Mages had arrived above the ancient wall. When they glanced down from the wall, the Yoked were like a bunch of insects trying to climb up a steel barrel. They were unable to take a step further!

“Seal the gate!” Commander Bin Wei yelled. Her black pupils turned gray once again.

The entire Northguard Pass was only a few kilometers across, but the enormous dam that had emerged only covered a distance of two kilometers of that. The remaining ancient wall began to rise slowly on both sides under Bin Wei’s control, trapping the Yoked in an enclosed area.

The Yoked leading the army of undead numbered around eight hundred. They had no idea that they were being trapped by the sturdy walls, like an enemy troop being lured into an empty city. All three sides were huge and impassable walls. Their retreat was blocked off by Bin Wei’s Earth Spell, separating them from the army of undead and the Underworld Monarch Frog.

“The gravity inside the confined area will increase, they won’t be able to climb up the wall. The ancient wall won’t last for long. Use everything you have to eliminate them!” Commander Bin Wei stood on a demon lily as she gave the order.

After seeing how Bin Wei had controlled the ancient wall and trapped the enemy, the soldiers’ impression of their commander changed completely. It was easily the strongest Earth Magic in their country’s history, and not only had they witnessed it today, they were also fighting the enemy on the ancient wall. How could they not be excited about it?

It was necessary to provide Mages a safe environment to channel their spells. They did not have to worry about any threat while standing on the magnificent ancient wall. All they needed to do was blast the enemy with their spells and eliminate the undead that dared to invade their Northguard Fortress!

The Yoked that were trapped between the walls rammed into them recklessly, like headless flies. The Curses on their bodies faded away, as if they had lost the connection between them and the Underworld Monarch Frog.

When an Advanced Fire Spell poured down at the Yoked, the fierce flames burned several of them to death. The captain that cast the spell yelled excitedly, “Attack those whose Curses are starting to fade away, their defense is weaker!”

The other captains immediately ordered their troops to focus on the Yoked whose Curses had faded away. Those Yoked’s defenses were not as impressive as before. After a few waves of attacks, the undead were blasted to pieces by the intertwining lightning, fire, and wind!

“What’s going on?” The aide-de-camp was confused when he noticed the drop in the Yoked’s defense.

“I understand now! Those Curses must have enhanced these undeads defenses! Did you notice how similar the glowing Curses are to the Curses on the Underworld Monarch Frog? These Yoked are enslaved by the Underworld Monarch Frog, so the Curses must be something the Underworld Monarch Frog granted them to boost their defense! Once they lost their connection to the Underworld Monarch Frog, they are just a bunch of ordinary undead!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

The Underworld Curses were similar to the Baxia Seal that he had obtained from the wooden clapper. The Baxia Seal was able to strengthen his defensive spells, endowing him with an outstanding defense.

Previously, the defenses and magic immunity of the Yoked were comparable to a Commander-level creature. The question was… were these low-level undead really that strong?

There had to be a reason behind it!

“I assume we can treat the Underworld Monarch Frog as the heart of a formation, and the Yoked are its lattice points. If the lattice points aren’t connected to the heart of the formation to maintain it, the Yoked that aren’t within the formation will lose the effects of the Curses! When the Yoked were trapped by the walls, and their movement was restricted by the increased gravity, they were no longer able to stay in formation with the rest of the army… I was wondering why they were advancing so slowly, when their speed wasn’t particularly slow. It seems it was because they were trying to stay inside the formation,” Lingling agreed after thinking.

If the Yoked were so strong that they were not even afraid of Super Spells, the undead would have overrun Egypt long ago. Lingling had been observing the undead since the battle began. Luckily, Commander Bin Wei had inherited the power of controlling the ancient wall. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to notice the undead’s weakness when they were advancing in such an orderly manner.

“So does that mean we should be able to eliminate them quickly, if we keep repeating the same tactic? Should we withdraw the evacuation order too?” the aide-de-camp asked.

Commander Bin Wei shook her head and said, “Look at the Underworld Monarch Frog.”

The soldiers were confused. The Underworld Monarch Frog was not really contributing; it was just ordering the Yoked to charge at the enemy. However, the Underworld Monarch Frog was moving very slowly. It had to rely on the Yoked to drag its extremely heavy body forward. If the Yoked stopped advancing, it would remain in the same spot.

In some ways, the Underworld Monarch Frog was not necessarily the greatest threat to them, if it relied on the Yoked to move around!

“I don’t think the Underworld Monarch Frog is a threat to us. It might have the presence of a Ruler-level creature, but the danger is mainly from the savage and brutal Yoked. I bet the Underworld Monarch Frog is just a mere display,” an advisor said.

“Chang Yi, engage the enemy, use all you have to eliminate them,” Commander Bin Wei placed Chang Yi in charge. She turned to the rest of the commanding authority and said, “You haven’t seen everything yet. Follow me.”

Bin Wei waved her hand without using any magic. A demon flower blossomed under their feet. Several vines rose rapidly, lifting the demon lily into the sky.

Zhao Manyan, Lingling, the aide-de-camp, and the advisors rose higher into the sky. The height of the ancient wall was around fifty meters. If they continued to rise, they would soon reach a height of a hundred meters…

Yellow dust lingered in the air. However, as the demon lily continued to rise, the dust gradually cleared up. The magnificent wall slowly faded into the distance below them, although its outline still served as a great contrast to the tiny undead.

The giant Underworld Monarch Frog was a lot smaller, too. The group could finally see the land behind it…

“Did you see it now?” Bin Wei said.

“Is…is that a chain?” Zhao Manyan blurted out in shock.

There was a chain coming out of the Underworld Monarch Frog’s body. It dangled above the vast yellow land, went past the hills, crossed a long ravine and spacious field shrouded by dust… it continued to extend into the distance, beyond their range of vision. They had no idea what the other end of the chain was connected to!

Everyone was already terrified when they saw the Yoked being chained to the Underworld Monarch Frog. To the advisors and the aide-de-camp’s surprise, the Underworld Monarch Frog was not the end of it. The Underworld Monarch Frog was dragging something too! The chain had gone beyond the horizon. It felt like there was something bigger and unknown slowly being dragged forth by the Yoked and the Underworld Monarch Frog, into the mundane world!

Zhao Manyan felt like his brain was about to explode!

What exactly was the thing behind the Underworld Monarch Frog!?

What kind of existence would a Ruler-level creature be hauling like a slave?
