Cao Xing immediately withdrew the forbidden curse and then asked.
"Now, are you willing to submit?"
The Black Knight didnât speak, but looked around.
Then his gaze fell on all the Ascalon soldiers present, as well as the group of Wild Boar Warriors.
The black Undead Flames on his body trembled slightly.
He said with some uncertainty, "Your warriors seem to have a familiar power..."
Cao Xing was a bit puzzled, "A familiar power, what do you mean?"
The Black Knight asked gravely, "Before this, did your warriors breakthrough using some method?"
"It should be a power borrowed from some entity."
Cao Xing immediately recalled.
"Are you referring to this Altar?"
With those words, he directly took out the Altar.
"Clang!"
The heavy Altar landed on the ground.
At this moment, the nearly one hundred thousand remaining Undead all turned their eyes towards this red Altar,
Even though they had lost their consciousness, when facing the Altar, their faces still showed an expression of utmost respect!
The flame in the eyes of that Black Knight grew significantly larger!
"Itâs it... the great War God Altar!"
"Unexpectedly... after that eternal war, there are still remaining War Altars in this world..."
"And itâs actually been obtained by you, an Otherworldly Lord!"
Cao Xing asked puzzledly, "Shouldnât there be quite a few such altars left in the world?"
"Is it really so rare that I obtained one?"
The Black Knight nodded, "There are indeed quite a few."
"However, not just anyone can use these altars."
"Back then, that entity hoped to let more strong warriors emerge in the world, thus creating numerous Divine Altars to prepare for future crises."
"However, only his believers can use these altars."
"And even if youâre not his believer, the fact that you can use the Altar indicates that you have already gained his recognition!"
Cao Xingâs eyes showed a contemplative expression,
He nodded slightly while continuing to ask, "Do you mean to say that this Gray City is related to Basaze?"
"Yes."
The Black Knight slowly explained.
"All the Undead in this city are Basazeâs believers..."
"He was originally one of the Six True Gods and also the original War God."
"But for some reason, the gods started the eternal war, and the True God Basaze died in that war."
"And a new True God appeared to take his place."
"And we, the believers of Basaze, were also held accountable after his death."
"When the divine punishment came, we willingly accepted the curse and turned into the Undead to guard this city..."
Cao Xingâs eyes showed an expression of sudden realization.
He indeed saw the story of this War Godâs death on the Altar.
And so far, he has confirmed the deaths of two True Gods.
Crystal Giant Dragon Klakato, War God Basaze.
This also made Cao Xing understand something.
Even the undying True Gods can die.
Moreover, he also knew... there is a deeper force pushing all this.
Klakatoâs words before disappearing still echoed in his ears.
âThe Six True Gods are not enemies, the Ancient Giant Dragons are not friends, do not trust anyone...â
Meanwhile, the Black Knight just mentioned.
After Basazeâs death, a new True God appeared to replace him.
In other words, the Six True Gods and the Ancient Giant Dragons all want to maintain balance.
But in the dark, there is a force driving all of this, causing these True Gods and Dragons to constantly fall.
After deducing this, Cao Xing took a deep breath.
He realized he couldnât continue thinking like this!
The closer to the truth, the more danger he was in!
Cao Xing said, "I understand."
"However, if you want to continue guarding this Gray City, you canât go on like this."
"With the passage of time, most of the Undead here have lost their consciousness, only by accepting Duke Baladinâs transformation can you continue to exist."
The Black Knight glanced at the undead Baladin beside him.
The Duke also said, "Your Undead Flames are becoming increasingly weak."
"Soon, except for you, all the Undead will become monsters without any consciousness."
"They wonât even follow your commands."
"Sooner or later, they will fall into complete madness, charge out from underground, and be killed by the powerful outside."
"Now, by being transformed into Ascalon Undead, your Undead Flames can continue, possibly even restoring other Undeadâs consciousness."
Upon hearing this, the Black Knight seemed to make a decision.
"I understand, since you can use the Altar, it indicates you have already gained the recognition of the War God."
"And this Undead can help our Undead Flames continue to exist."
"Then, I am willing to represent all the Undead in agreeing to your proposal."
Hearing him agree, Cao Xing felt intense joy in his heart.
Because this meant that he could control this Underground City!
And how many Undead are there in this Underground City?
Perhaps even more than one hundred thousand!
Now, with this Black Knight agreeing to transform all the Ancient Battlefieldâs Undead into Ascalon Undead.
And with Baladin vowing to fight to the death for him!
This meant that Cao Xing directly acquired control over this one hundred thousand strong Undead Army!
Although these Undead cannot be amplified by his Eternal Power, they are still an incredibly terrifying force!
