The night sky was pitch black, with only the starlight scattered across the night and the crescent moon providing faint illumination.

Tonight, the sky was filled with clouds.

From time to time, even the starlight and crescent moon would hide within them.

On the massive fortress walls below, there were many soldiers patrolling back and forth.

The torches around them illuminated their vision through the night.

The circle of hidden Runes buried around the fortress helped them detect any Undead attempting to cross during the night.

At this moment, the gate of the fortress opened.

Upon hearing the sound of the gate opening, the surrounding soldiers glanced towards the gate and then withdrew their gaze.

They had grown accustomed to it over the past few days.

The assistance that had arrived before was Kane and others. Like machines, tirelessly, there were always people outside hunting the Undead.

Counting the time, the hunting party tonight was about to set off.

With the opening of the gate, Kane and Lilu along with Longbei, and several from Tistek's squad, emerged from inside the fortress.

They then took advantage of the moonlight and proceeded towards the field ahead.

The hunting party in the evening was generally led by Kane and others.

As for Meizike, he was required to stay in the fortress, whether for potion-making or treating any unexpected incidents.

After all, the only gold-level healers were Meizike and another from Raphael's team.

With Meizike's skills, he typically remained stationed in the fortress.

The group proceeded under cover of darkness, reaching the slopes of the hill.

Kane then opened the map he carried.

By now, the surrounding area on the map was illuminated.

Due to the efforts of the guild members in recent days, this surrounding area had already been thoroughly explored.

Longbei glanced at the map and then asked, "Kane, what's our target tonight?"

Every action had a specific target, depending on whether the target could be destroyed.

These targets were intelligence provided by the Ghost Maids.

They would pass on all known important or unimportant targets as intelligence.

These were gathering points for various Undead or territories of certain gold-level Undead Lords.

They were responsible for providing this intelligence, and each action's target was decided by the action leader.

Whether the target could be eliminated was based on the situation at the time.

Upon Longbei's words, Kane pointed at the map.

This was a location about 40 kilometers away from their current position.

He then addressed everyone behind him.

"This time, our target is here, but there's an Undead attack camp between, so we need to bypass it."

"And this target's specific situation is a body modification factory with a Necromancer making Abominations and Frankensteins inside."

Thinking about it, this should be equivalent to an enemy weapon factory.

Abominations and Frankensteins were particularly annoying on the battlefield, especially in direct engagements.

Their huge sizes and exaggerated strength posed a significant threat to the soldiers' formations.

Not to mention their bodies carried lethal viruses.

Upon killing them, there might be exposure to viruses and corrosive liquids from self-destruction.

To describe them, they were like self-exploding trucks carrying vast amounts of explosives rampaging on the battlefield.

The problem was that their battlefield was a cold weapon battlefield, making them especially bothersome.

After explaining, Kane waved his hand and conjured a swift single-person vehicle.

Everyone behind also drew similar vehicles from their Space Equipment.

This motorcycle-like vehicle, equipped by the guild members, was modified by Kane to be very fast and greatly reduced noise, inaudible unless one was within 10 meters.

But once within 10 meters, whether audible or not became meaningless.

It was precisely this vehicle that allowed Kane and them to complete their objectives or escape enemy encirclement without detection.

Among the regular Undead Army, the fastest was the Evil Spirit Knight, a Soul Knight formed entirely from dense Black Mist.

When running, they left behind long black trails.

Even the fastest Undead would be left behind by these personal vehicles.

Kane's actions these past few days had frustrated all the Undead, but they couldn't catch them.

If fewer went, they might not even win, and there's the chance of being counter-killed.

So sometimes, forced to compromise, many Undead abandon sending support.

Instead, they formed patrol teams to defend the surroundings.

These Undead had tirelessly expanded over the past year, never encountering such a harassment tactic.

Never imagined needing to deploy soldiers around their defense line for patrols.

Fortunately, for the Undead, they strictly followed orders from the upper-tier Undead, and were tireless.

"Get on and follow me."

Kane said, riding the vehicle, while Lilu perched on Kane's shoulder.

With the vehicle's core energy activated.

Kane's vehicle transformed into streams of light, racing quickly across the ground.

Kane was at the forefront, and the vehicle's operation wasn't handled by Kane himself, but assisted by Youyou.

The surveillance drone trailing them in the air would report enemy movements to Youyou at any time.

To avoid any direct collision with enemies due to rapid movement.

The surveillance drone followed the moving team every time.

This was why they hadn't been caught these past few days, whether led by Kane or other times by others in the hunting party.

"Master, there's a patrol team ahead, do we need to bypass it?"

Upon hearing Yoyo's words, Kane thought for a moment and asked, "Can you scan their features? Are they the contract targets on the Contract Book?"

"Yes, we can scan them. The leader is a gold-level Black Knight and an unrecorded gold-level Skeleton.

Among the leading team, there are also two Silver Undead from the Contract Book."

"This patrol team is quite luxurious," Kane remarked.

After all, the undead on the Contract Book are all carefully selected by Fakundo, his focal development targets.

This time, three appeared at once, including one likely transformed this year during attacks on other forces.

A patrol team formed by two gold-level strong individuals is undeniably luxurious.

This is also why an undead offensive en masse is terrifying.

Because if you can't block the undead army, it only grows larger and larger in battle.

The unrecorded gold-level Skeleton might be one transformed from a certain gold-level intelligent life killed by these undead this year.

Although a gold-level strong individual's corpse does not necessarily become a gold-level undead after death,

the chances are not small. If these gold-level individuals' souls aren't willing to depart after death, the probability even increases.

Nearly reaching 100%.

So the total gold-level members in the undead forces are more than Kane and her team imagined.

But their strength varies.

No matter how powerful in life, their strength drastically drops after death.

The difference between living flesh and a dead body is massive; many rules can't be used, needing reevaluation.

After all, many rules are comprehended and utilized based on the original living body.

The disparity between a dead undead body and flesh and blood is huge, not to mention the soul undergoes fundamental changes.

If not willingly becoming undead but forcibly revived after death, one's personality might significantly change.

However, memories fortunately remain unchanged.

According to Yoyo's information, Kane simply assessed both sides' strengths.

It will work; we can solve it in a short time.

"There's a patrol team ahead, two gold-level beings. Everyone, make a swift resolution; don't cause too much commotion."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Kane's words, the members behind nodded one after another.

The convoy then increased speed, quickly rushing toward the target.

"There are living creatures, those mice."

Sensing something, the Black Knight immediately pulled out his Long Blade, looking in the direction of Kane and her team approaching.

The Skeleton beside him swiftly took a fighting stance, and from its bones, it was clear it wasn't human.

The posture was slightly hunched, the skull exceedingly large, jaws protruding.

Particularly striking were the hanging arms with enormous bone claws.

At this moment, the bone claws lifted, their tips flashing with a ghostly green light.

The undead patrolling behind them quickly organized a formation.

With uniformly Silver Power, it indeed appeared to be an elite undead army.

However, their total number was only two to three hundred.

"That Black Knight is for me and Lillulu; Longbei will hold off that Skeleton; the rest do as you wish."

After Kane spoke, Floating Cannons appeared beside her.

These are Floating Cannons, each with an Intelligent Core for control, eliminating the need for Kane to manually steer them.

These Floating Cannons would assist Tistek's team in clearing the remaining undead.

Otherwise, with just their numbers facing hundreds of undead, it would be excessively strenuous.

The vehicle speed was incredibly fast.

In an instant, it was in front of the enemy.

The team immediately tossed the vehicle aside and charged out.

Since they didn't want to make too much noise, Longbei only increased his size to about three meters, directly rushing the Skeleton.

He raised his Shield and roared at the gold-level Skeleton: "Hey, little Skeleton, come here. Is your spine made from your grandma's bones?"

The shrill sound drilled into the Skeleton's soul.

For some reason, the initially ghostly green soul emitted a faint red.

This undead became enraged and charged directly at Longbei.

"I will tear your soul apart!"

Shouting curses to vent his Fury, he swung his massive bone claws.

Then Longbei and the Skeleton grappled with each other.

Intermittently, using the counterattack force from defending against the enemy, he would throw his Flying Hammer towards the enemy formation.

Every blow overturned a slew of undead, alleviating Tistek's team's pressure.

Meanwhile, on Kane's side.

As Kane lifted her Crystal Long Spear and engaged in close combat, Holy Light emanated from her body, causing smoke to rise from the Black Knight.

Punishing Holy Light was highly counteractive to the undead.

Fortunately, the Black Knight seemed able to withstand it, with no intention of increasing their distance.

After exchanging several blows.

Lillulu suddenly appeared beside the Black Knight, tapping her Magic Wand on him.

"How are you? Want to become a little puppet?"

With that, she disappeared right away.

The Black Knight, currently attacking Kane, immediately felt magic power rampaging within his body.

He instantly lost control.

Kane's Long Spear, without hesitation, pierced the Black Knight's chest, creating a huge cavity in him.
