End up being killed.

At critical moments, these major countries always engage in infighting, which is their consistent "fine tradition". It is precisely because of the mutual hostility among the seven major countries and their constant desire to inflict misfortune on each other that the three generals of the Allied Forces developed the idea of calculation.

With the accomplishment of eliminating the enemy's main force, their future prospects upon returning to their own countries would not be too bleak. They would at least have a way to explain themselves to the king. Even if there were unfortunate casualties during their pursuit of "You", they still firmly believed that the small price they paid was worth it compared to directly confronting the leader of the demon race.

Regarding the plan to eliminate "You", it had to be a strategy of sunlight and not conspiracy. They could only implement it head-on. After all, in the previous wars, "You" had brought relatively minor losses to his soldiers, which led to his spies being scattered throughout the Allied Forces. With the help of these spies, the three generals could not use tricks and secretly assassinate "You" without anyone noticing. Therefore, they could only openly mobilize their troops and surround the camp where "You" was located, just like they were doing now.

After surrounding the main tent where "You" was, they would then mobilize their own advantage in forces to keep the tens of thousands of soldiers loyal to "You" outside, preventing them from approaching the camp. This plan, which appeared rough and simple to the organizers after execution, was highly practical. Because for any army, once it lost its core commander, even a thousand strong men would become scattered troops.

After successfully restricting the low-ranking soldiers, the three "elite" generals would then lead their carefully selected personal guards to confidently break into the camp. "Kid, you're doomed!" It was unclear who had raised the troublesome banner, but regardless, when the unwanted guests invaded the tent, "You" who was the target remained calmly sitting on his chair. "You're here? Why did you only come now?" From "You's" perspective, he had been waiting for a long time before this group of people who came to kill him finally arrived. He was not afraid of being targeted, but he feared that those idiots who walked into the trap he personally set up lacked the courage to enter. "You" raised his right hand and suddenly clenched it into a fist! With this action, under the ground where the generals were standing, a decaying arm wrapped in rotten flesh suddenly stretched out and wriggled slowly like growing wheat. This scene was so eerie that it made the viewers' scalps tingle, causing their hair to stand on end. If they didn't bite their tongues lightly with their teeth, they would have already screamed in horror. With a crisp cracking sound, cracks started to appear in the ground around the arm. Before long, those cracks became larger and more numerous. The ground seemed to be breathing, constantly fluctuating, rising and falling. The three generals, who were only a breath away from this eerie scene, stared in disbelief. They had the urge to immediately flee the place, but it was too late because there was an obstacle behind them. In the next moment, the broken stones on the ground were pushed aside, and a pale skeleton emerged from the ground. The rancid smell instantly filled the tent. "M-Monster!" The personal guards standing next to the generals felt fear, and their trembling hands caused their weapons to make a rattling noise. "No, this is not a monster, but an undead creature." Among the personal guards, there were also people who were knowledgeable and could immediately recognize the true identity of the skeleton. Of course, there was no direct or indirect connection between being knowledgeable and being brave, so those who should be afraid still trembled uncontrollably.

Just as these people were exposing their ugly side, the withered skeleton slowly stood up from the ground, and the hearts of the three legion commanders began to beat faster.

They heard the sound of the skeleton's joints as it moved, and saw the skull slowly turn towards them. Since it was a skeleton, it naturally couldn't see with its eyes; all they could see were the two sunken black holes in the eye sockets, flickering with unusual red light.

When those two red lights projected towards them, the three of them suddenly forgot to breathe, feeling an invisible pressure that seemed to crush their bodies from the outside.

"Now, do you still not understand my identity?" Yu shrugged his shoulders, adopting a ruffian look and proudly told the group of idiots in front of him, "The one who can summon and control the undead can only be one kind of person. They are the rare Necromancers that can be found in the entire Western Continent!"

Necromancers were an extension of the mage profession. The biggest difference between the two professions was that regular mages, if they weren't dealing with elements, enjoyed summoning animals and birds for entertainment. Necromancers were also human beings and needed to do things to alleviate their loneliness, so they would also summon creatures to amuse themselves. However, the creatures they summoned were not while they were alive, but after death.

If the possibility of dual-classing was not considered, Necromancers hardly used elemental magic, instead manipulating numerous undead for battle or using magic related to death.

Compared to the widespread regular mages, becoming a Necromancer had stricter requirements. It required spending a long time dealing with corpses and skeletons. This profession also had a special requirement for talent, otherwise, even after sleeping with skeletons for ten years, one might not necessarily make progress.

The harsh training environment, the likelihood of being discriminated against, and the high entry barrier determined that there wouldn't be too many Necromancers.

However, from another perspective:

Qualified Necromancers were not weak. Among them, the outstanding ones could command numerous skeletons and ghosts, making the power of these monsters their own.

The skeleton blocking the entrance of the camp, responsible for stopping the legion commanders, did not come from elsewhere. It was none other than, "A certain allied commander who unfortunately died in the battle against the Demon Clan this morning. Look at the sword hanging beside its waist, don't you find it familiar?"

One of the legion commanders stared at the sword raised by the skeleton, and after a moment of pause in his brain, immediately remembered a middle-aged commander he had encountered this morning.

"So it's him?"

As he shouted these words, the sharp blade fell.

As soon as the legion commander saw the blade slashing down, he instinctively drew the weapon he carried and held it up to block.

Clang!

The blade swung down by the skeleton was blocked, but at the same time, a gloomy light rose under the feet of the legion commander.

An ominous color of light resonated with the space, causing a strange fluctuation.

Before the opponent could analyze their own intentions, Yu let out a long breath.

With this breath, the ground of the camp immediately emitted a glow of magic, intermittent murmurs of the undead filled the air, releasing a realm-like sensation.

An unusual energy filled every inch of space around, causing everyone in the camp, except for Yu, to be affected by this power and unable to stand steadily.

Among them, someone's face suddenly changed drastically, and they lightly exclaimed, "You've set up a barrier!"

This "you" naturally referred to Yu.

Among all the people present, except for him, no one else had such deep scheming.

The person in question didn't shy away and jokingly told the group in front of him, "You want to kill me? Well, what a coincidence, I also want to kill you!"

No matter how the generals calculated beforehand, with their limited intelligence, they wouldn't have expected that while they were plotting against each other, the other side had already been brewing a massive conspiracy.

Even if those who wanted to kill him joined forces at the moment, they still didn't stand a chance. Because the moment the barrier was activated, the people trapped inside the barrier had their vitality and lifeforce rapidly drained at an astonishing rate. And the lifeforce that was absorbed naturally flowed into him, further enhancing his power.

In the midst of this give and take, the generals on the other side of him were completely restrained, unable to fully exert their normal strength.

But it didn't stop there.

As the generals stayed within the barrier, for every second they spent, it seemed as if countless ghosts were wailing in their ears, driving them insane.

"Yue, you are shameless and despicable!"

Someone cursed loudly, and the other party responded indifferently, "You love using direct strategies, but you can't succeed. I prefer using indirect strategies, and I always strike with one hit... Shameless and despicable? Is that all your last words will be?"

The ground beneath the feet of the deceased suddenly loosened. The solid ground beneath them instantly turned into soft mud, and numerous sharp bone claws protruded from the "mud."

Countless bone claws represented the bodies of numerous fallen soldiers, all of whom had perished on the battlefield today. The reason why Yue dared to be so ruthless in the morning battle, not sparing the lives of his soldiers, was because he hoped that these fallen soldiers from other countries could become his pawns at this moment, and turn around to eliminate their former superiors.

After being surrounded by bone claws, the generals and their personal guards were dragged underground one by one. Even the person who had just shown good performance and blocked the skeleton blade in the battle, was still suppressed in intense pain after his thigh was pierced by the sharp claws, unable to resist in any futile manner.

After continuous cursing and wailing, the tent was met with silence.

Outside the camp, chaos ensued as well.

The three major countries' soldiers who tried to gather and annihilate Yue's subordinates had noticed the continuous trembling of the ground beneath their feet not long ago.

A loud rumbling sounded, and small whirlpools appeared around the ground, as if quicksand was pulling in numerous living people.

Even if it swallowed up tens of thousands of living beings, the whirlpools themselves didn't disappear. On the contrary, they continued to increase in size.

The whirlpools' devouring had obvious targeting, for example, Yue's subordinates were not sucked into them.

Yue had intentionally arranged it this way because he didn't want too many casualties among his soldiers. Because they were his core forces and would be the key forces to seize the kingdom's power in the future. He couldn't afford to lose them now.

The valuable ones were left behind, and the ones who weren't left behind would only begin to show their value after death!
