Within the area of the forest land where the zombies and undead operate, the soil is eroded and decayed, the land withers at an extremely accelerated pace, and the increasing activity of zombies and undead at the border, as well as the ever-growing Corpse Mountain Giant Tumor.

All these phenomena indicate one thing: the mysterious pyramid is likely nearing completion,

and the zombie and undead army is probably about to embark on the next phase of expansion.

And amidst this backdrop, there is another reason that compels Austin to prepare for military warfare in advance.

That reason being, the winter season is about to arrive in just a few days!

In the entire Kawa Great Forest, due to the magic power tides, most of the year is dominated by a hot and rainy tropical rainforest-like climate, with the remainder being a bone-chilling cold winter.

The hot season lasts for about nine months, and the winter season is roughly three months, according to Austin's time calculations. In fact, the calendar of this world doesn't use months, but Austin directly applied the way of calculating months from his previous life.

Despite such a climate in the Kawa Great Forest, the length of both the hot and cold winter seasons is not strictly fixed. Sometimes the cold winter comes later, with the cold climate lasting longer.

Sometimes, the summer season extends longer, and the winter season is shorter, so there is no strict determination.

Like this year, the winter season arrived about half a month late.

The weather is starting to cool down, the Water Attribute Magic Power in the air begins to increase, some trees have already started to wilt and shed leaves, all signs indicating the arrival of winter.

Austin is unsure whether the winter will affect the zombies and undead.

But he knows clearly that the cold winter weather is almost lethal to the actions of the Beastmen.

In the coming three-month winter season, the action capability of the Dragon Nest Beastmen is significantly reduced. If during this period, the sea of zombies and undead starts to impact and expand outward, considering the severe natural limitations on the Dragon Nest Beastmen's mobility, it is almost fatal for the entire Dragon Nest Tribe.

It is precisely because of this that Austin must either launch a war against the zombies and undead before winter to completely destroy them, or directly escape and abandon his heritage.

It is for this reason that Austin, despite not completing the magic power Rasengan Thunder Attribute transformation, forcibly initiated this war.

....

Three days later,

Units of the Beastman Legion began to emerge from the Dragon Nest Tribe station, with sharp long spears arrayed in the air, the sharp blades reflecting a cold light, like a copper-armored torrent of long spears flowing toward the southwest.

Amidst the dense military movements, there was a surprising lack of chaos.

Austin stood on a high platform, watching the departing figures of the Beastman Legion, standing silently, his thoughts unknown.

By now, most of the old, weak, and productive Beastmen within the Dragon Nest Tribe station had already evacuated, leaving the tribal town seemingly empty, and as the Beastman Legion departed, the Dragon Nest Tribe station became even more desolate.

Not knowing how much time had passed, a voice beside him suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, the army has already set off."

Austin snapped back to reality, at which the last column of the Beastman army had left the tribe station, about to disappear from view.

"Mm, let's go!"

Austin nodded, unfurling his wings, whipping up a strong and powerful gale, he leapt into the air, closely following in the direction of the Beastman army.

Since the decision has been made, do not doubt whether it is correct, but rather execute it resolutely.

In this war, Austin drew a total of five thousand Beastmen as the main force of the army,

A vast and well-equipped elite Beastman army slowly marched toward the area of the zombies and undead.

At this moment, the wandering zombies and undead creatures in the mountains and forests were still completely unaware of all this.

The Corpse Mountain Giant Tumor and the mysterious pyramid were not at the edge of the zombies and undead activity but were about fifty kilometers deep into the eroded wasteland.

In the previous chain reaction from the electromagnetic cannon bombardment of the pyramid, Austin realized that this endless sea of zombies and undead was also being controlled by some presence.

And the one controlling those zombie and undead creature actions is likely that mysterious pyramid structure.

Although the mysterious pyramid cannot monitor every zombie as its own eyes, the power it erupts when danger approaches should not be underestimated.

To prevent the Dragon Nest Beastmen Legion from getting caught in a massive sea of zombies and undead before reaching near the Corpse Mountain Giant Tumor and the pyramid, Austin formulated a series of blitz tactics.

In front of the legion, the dispatched cavalry unit, relying on high mobility, led away most of the zombie creatures in the army's path, and afterward, the Beastman Legion followed closely after the cavalry had diverted a large number of zombies and undead, quickly striking, and with overpowering strength, slayed all the zombies and undead left on the route, striving to march fifty kilometers in a day, reaching near the Corpse Mountain Giant Tumor and the pyramid unnoticed.

According to this battle plan, the actions of the Beastman Legion went off without a hitch, even the zombies and undead left behind by the cavalry unit, under the powerful individual combat capabilities of the Beastman Officers, were swiftly slain without any resistance.

By nightfall, Austin and his Dragon Nest army had arrived at a very hidden valley ravine with towering mountains.

This valley gap about seven to eight kilometers in distance from the target, and more importantly, the mountain ridges and ranges between the valley and the target maximally concealed the presence of the Dragon Nest Legion.

Perhaps due to the remote terrain, there were few signs of zombie and undead activity near the gorge, and the few present were quickly cleared out by the Beastman Officers.

And in this gorge, compared to the corrupted wasteland outside, there was some unpolluted flowing water for some reason.

It might be this reason that the zombie and undead activity nearby was not as much as imagined.

"This might be a clue..."

Looking at the clear stream rushing down the gorge, Austin narrowed his eyes.

That is, the zombies and undead creatures seem to dislike wandering in uninfected and uncorrupted areas.

Or perhaps they are suppressed by an unknown force on the land soil not eroded by such mysterious pyramid network power...
