Chapter 2807: New Forces Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “You came at the right time. The Ancient Capital seems to be at peace, but to tell you the truth, many Undeads became restless after the king passed away. They plan to attack when the next Red Moon appears to expand the Undead Empire,” the Queen of Nine Serenities said to Mo Fan. “Can’t the Dead Kings of the Eight Directions control the Undeads?” Mo Fan asked in surprise. Besides the king, there were also the Dead Kings of the Eight Directions, and each of them, especially Mountain Zombie, was a mighty warrior. Mountain Zombie was on the same level as the Black Totem Snake, so how could any Undead defy its orders? “It’s dying,” the Queen of Nine Serenities said. “What happened?” Mo Fan frowned. ‘How could the Mountain Zombie be dying?’ So many experts had attacked it in the past and it had always survived. “In the battle of the underworld, we had the upper hand and had a chance to use the underworld as the new world for the Undeads of the Ancient Capital. But after Khufu and Archangel Michael killed the king, the Undeads of Egypt regained control of the underworld. The Undeads of the Ancient Capital couldn’t fight against Khufu, so we could only return to the Ancient Capital and Northern Xinjiang. “The Undeads have to rely on death energy to survive. The king was still alive in the past, and we needed to reclaim the underworld so we wouldn’t disturb the people in the Ancient Capital and Northern Xinjiang. However, we lost control of the underworld, and the population of the Ancient Capital and Northern Xinjiang has grown significantly. Everyone was too hungry, and some new forces appeared and attacked the villages. “A smart living dead should be the leader of these new forces. They have made many places appear as if they have been ravaged by beasts and demons. I went there with Red Skeleton before.” The Queen of Nine Serenities explained the situation to Mo Fan. In the end, all these happened because the king passed away. When they had no king in the past, the Undeads would wander near the city and attack at night. After they found a king, humans expanded their lands and reduced the habitats of the Undeads. After the battle, Khufu and the Undeads of Egypt occupied the underworld, so their conflict shifted to one between the residents of the Ancient Capital and the Undeads. “The residents of the Ancient Capital and Northern Xinjiang respect some old rules and would not destroy tombs, spiritual lands, or dead swamps. However, many migrants who arrived did not know the rules. Their exploitation of natural resources and destruction caused many old Undeads who followed the king’s will to be dissatisfied, and they secretly joined the new forces.” “The new forces of the Undeads of the Ancient Capital are expanding. I’m weak and don’t have the king’s support, so I can’t control them. Besides, Mountain Zombie is severely injured. I believe the political situation of the Undeads of the Ancient Capital will change soon, and the era of the Dead Kings of Eight Directions will end.” It seemed that the situation of the Ancient Capital was not as optimistic. In fact, various parts of the country, including the Ancient Capital, had huge hidden problems. In the past, there were many wars between humans and demons. They fought more frequently because of the extreme cold and rising sea levels that reduced their resources. When humans and demons fought for a warm place, most of them died. The Ocean Demons drove humans to the land, and the demons felt that humans were invading their territory. The Undeads’ territory had been seriously encroached upon. When the Dead Kings of the Eight Directions and many Undeads obeyed the Ancient King and competed with the Undeads of Egypt for the underworld, they suffered a great loss. The Sphinx took revenge at the previous battle and severely injured Mountain Zombie. The Dead Kings of the Eight Directions were either dead or injured, so their time as Undead leaders was coming to an end. New Undead forces were expanding, and they were targeting the humans. A new battle would soon begin near the Ancient Capital. Otherwise, the Ancient Capital would return to the time when its inhabitants could not travel at night. “At the end of the day, it’s not easy for everyone.” Mo Fan sighed. It was inevitable that chaos would reign in the capital without the King of the Undeads. A short period of peace was only possible because of the King of the Undeads. Once the king passed away, everything would be the same as before. Many people in the east had misunderstood the Ancient Capital. They thought the Ancient Capital did not have the threat of demons, so it was the most suitable place for cultivation and rest. But they did not know that a battle with the Undeads was just around the corner. “Is there any solution?” Mo Fan asked. “There’s none. Everything will return to the way it was before,” the Queen of Nine Serenities said. “All right, I’ll warn Han Ji about it,” Mo Fan said. “How about I kill you, and you become the new king?” the Queen of Nine Serenities asked. “In that case, why don’t I just get rid of all the Undeads?” Mo Fan said gruffly. “You’re right. However, even if the Undeads cease to exist, there are still Qinling Feather Demons and Kunlun Demon Kingdom. You better remind the human leaders not to provoke the Kunlun Demon Kingdom because of the threats of the Ocean Demons. The Kunlun Demon Kingdom can kill humans faster than the Ocean Demons,” the Queen of Nine Serenities reminded Mo Fan. “Is the Kunlun Demon Kingdom very strong?” Mo Fan raised his eyebrows. “If the Kunlun Mountains are at the seaside, the Ocean Demons will be much more obedient,” the Queen of Nine Serenities said. Mo Fan was surprised. Based on his understanding, the Kunlun Demon Kingdom should be on the same level as the Undead Empire. But according to the Queen of Nine Serenities, they were even stronger. He needed to talk with Chairman Shao Zheng. Hopefully, they did not plan to visit Kunlun. … Mo Fan sent Han Ji a message fromthe Queen of Nine Serenities. Han Ji was still the chairman of the Magic Association of Ancient Capital. He would report this to all departments of Ancient Capital and take protective measures in time. Han Ji always acted decisively. He immediately gathered the Imperial Forbidden Mages and Imperial Forbidden Army. With some accurate information given by the Queen of Nine Serenities, they planned to act first and eliminate the new forces of the Undeads. They could not allow those migrants to exploit the Land of the Undead at will anymore. Otherwise, a bigger war would be right around the corner. In contrast to other demons, the Undead would not go extinct. Every creature that died appeared as the Undead. The Undead Empire was still relatively weak. Humans could live in peace for the time being, but the Undeads would become stronger. In the end, war was inevitable. Han Ji could only stall for time to delay the war and let the humans, who had been fighting with the Ocean Demons, have some time to rest. But how long could this situation last? In the uneven black soil, hungry roars echoed at dusk.
