After the huge explosion swallowed the 1,000 fighter golems, Aldred saw a lot of the wreckage were salvageable, but his golems faiiled to regenerate.

His fighting force reduced from 4,000 to 3,000.

Aldred thought the town leader was out of cards to play until suddenly a lot of small bugbears popped out from the ground, and attacked the artillery golems and the gunner golems.

"Assassins!" Aldred exclaimed. "They use assassins to attack the back line. This bugbear has brains."

The gunner golems could still retaliate, but the artillery golems weren't designed to fight anything in close-range.

Not to mention these bugbears had smaller bodies than normal.

Tarrar grinned. These were his special assassins unit. Bugbears actually hated small bugbears because they were seen as weak and useless.

They cannot lift big weapons. They cannot lift bricks or wood for construction. They were very useless even as slaves.

So they were outcast.

But Tarrar saw their potential as a deadly, precise, and quick unit.

And his vision was right. After years of training, these small bugbears had developed their skills in quick assassination.

And now their abilities shone like a star as dozens of artillery golems fell.

Aldreds' golem army was unfeeling. It was hard for the enemy to create chaos within the ranks, but these assassins ran around the golems.

The golem's slow rotational speed made it hard for them to attack these small rats.

And with that hundreds quickly fell under their small blades.

Aldred sighed. "Seems like I have to use my card as well. Send in the undead."

Black mist leaked out from the ground, and numerous snow wolves stepped out before pouncing on the small bugbears.

They bit the neck of these small creatures and raised a storm of flesh and blood.

It was a literal massacre.

Tarrar clicked his tongue in anger when he saw the assassins unit being hunted down.

But it wasn't over.

Numerous Bajaragons flew to the sky and shot flames at the soldiers.

Meanwhile, an army of Phantom Claws galloped their way to the gate.

Tarrar widened his eyes. He had heard that Aldred was also called Death Lord by a lot of people, but he didn't know the man had a powerful undead army.

"Activate the magic tower!" Tarrar shouted, losing his calmness.

The soldiers were shocked to see that as well. In their eyes, Tarrar was a wise and composed man. For him to panic slightly made them hesitate.

But their years of training calmed them down, not to mention the doctrine of bugbear warrior made them resilient at heart.

In the middle of the city, a large part of the land shook, and a large tower came out of the ground, throwing the houses into the sky.

The magicians quickly surrounded the tower, and casted a mysterious spell.

The tower shone, and it started firing powerful laser-like beams at the Bajaragons.

Some of the Bajaragons were vaporized, and Aldred found out he cannot summon them back again.

"Fuck! Retreat! Xer Xai, bring that wall down!"

Xer Xai crawled out of the ground. The gigantic creature dwarfed over the city wall, and the bugbears were shocked to their core when they saw such a giant of a beast.

Xer Xai roared and slammed her head to the wall. The soldiers screamed as they fell.

Xer Xai opened her maw and blasted a powerful purple beam at the magic tower.

Tarrar clicked his tongue, and teleported in front of the beam. He moved his hand, creating a shining circle in the air. The purple beam struck the circle and the attack was blocked.

"I have to use that to contain this beast." He grabbed his necklace and threw it at the mountain-sized creature.

Suddenly, colorful bright light shone upon Xer Xai, and a cage created from the colorful light trapped Xer Xai within it.

Xer Xai roared and slammed the cage but it didn't even budge.

"I will destroy your soul!" Tarrar clasped his hand, and mysterious glowing runes started appearing all over his body.

He pushed his palm towards the creature, and Xer Xai roared in pain as her soul started to weaken.

"Dammit! I cannot make Xer Xai vanish!" Aldred stood up. "Stella, teleport me there."

Stella nodded, and immediately raised her right hand. The slightly-broken golden disc floated above Aldred, and thick star particles engulfed him.

In the next moment, the thick particles appeared above the city, and Aldred stepped out of the particles.

"Release my pet, you fucking bastard!"

Aldred punched Tarrar in the face, but the runes of his face activated and created a circular magical barrier the size of his fist to block his attack.

Aldred landed on the wall, facing Tarrar. He smiled. "What an interesting power you have."

Tarrar on the other hand was breathing haggardly. That one attack earlier was very powerful. If he got hit, he would surely die.

Who is this man really? A necromancer, a golem master, and now a martial artist as well. Wait, he teleported to this place, did that mean he was also a magician?

"Just what are you?" Tarrar asked. "Your existence is abnormal!"

"Shut up and release my pet now!"

Tarrar laughed. "Try me."

"I am a martial artist. You're a magician. I can kill you in close-range."

"You're not the only one who has subordinates."

Tarrar pulled his necklace and crushed it. Suddenly, four warriors appeared in front of him, facing Aldred.

Two of them seemed to be an assassin type with their sharp dagger and agile build.

The other two looked like heavy strikers. They had large built, bulky muscles, and a large war hammer.

"You think these two can stop me?"

"There's four of them, and one of you." Tarrar smiled.

Aldred laughed. "Who said I was alone?"

Black mist formed around him, then Bella, Milet, Bruce, Crook, and Brook appeared.

Tarrar bit his lips. "Elite Gold Ranks... you surprise me more and more."

Aldred smiled. "As it should be."
