A huge "War of Dead" finally ended. Although there were some twists and turns due to the calculation of the Bat Deca and did not fully achieve the intended purpose, it was compensated in other aspects, and the result was not satisfactory and would not lose its old capital. However, I, the new Fourth Witch Emperor, was really embarrassed. Originally, Gravesen's subordinates were all scattered, and none of them were willing to join my disciples. All the corpse witches maintained a "stay away" attitude towards me, and did not dare to provoke me, but did not obey my leadership. It seemed that they were very similar to the blood lich iron fungus that had newly ascended the throne of the Blood Witch clan. They were both "bare emperors" and needed to recruit soldiers again.
Fortunately, as the fourth witch emperor, he naturally obtained the relevant information that a witch emperor must know. He had no idea before, and had no idea at this moment, so he had to patiently and carefully check it out before he knew the whole story. Unlike the corpse kings who determine everything in the low-level zombie clan, although the corpse witch clan is also a three-level organizational structure division of the emperor, king, and ordinary individuals, it takes the ability of the individual as the main standard. There is no direct subordinate relationship between the high-level and the low-level, and can only obtain the due respect and cannot be driven to mobilize. The royal family or kings of the corpse witch clan can only be formally taken over by means of persuasion, coercion, etc., and can be regarded as formally taken over by the lower-level individuals and can be driven away at will.
To establish my own power. In other words, I am just holding the title of "Fourth Witch King", but no one can command it. I can only spend time signing the "soul contract" one by one before I can form my corpse witch army. What's more troublesome is that the corpse witch clan has another rule: once the corpse witch king or even the witch king swore to surrender to others, it will automatically be eliminated from the affiliation of all the original subordinates and no longer enjoy the power and ability to control other individuals. In other words, even if I subdue Graveson, I can still only have a corpse and one soldier under my command. I still need to subdue myself. It is obviously a setting made for our undead wizard.
While complaining, I have experienced more, but I can understand the system's approach. This setting is also to maintain a relative balance. Otherwise, if a necromancer who can ignore many necromancers will be lucky enough to replace the position of the Witch Emperor, not only will his own abilities be greatly enhanced, but he can easily gain control of millions of corpse witches, it will probably be a great disaster for other undead races in the "Nether Space". With such a huge army of corpse witches, the absolute advantage of earning qualifications will be extremely unfair to other undead wizards.
At the same time, we also know about the division of the sphere of influence of the four witch emperors. The huge corpse witch territory has basically been divided up by the four witch emperors, and their respective boundaries are clearly marked. Under normal circumstances, even the witch emperor cannot act beyond the boundary, otherwise it will be regarded as an invasion and may trigger a large-scale war. Although the corpse witch groups within the sphere of influence may not be included in their direct rule, they are potential sources of troops. As long as the situation requires, the witch emperor can force them to swear allegiance at any time. Those who do not want to surrender will be punished by expulsion and will not be allowed to return for life. Of course, considering that there are too many individuals, the system also takes good care of the NPC witch emperors, giving them a special ability to hold a group swearing allegiance ceremony. According to the abilities of the four witch emperors, different numbers of corpse witches can be absorbed each time.
The fourth witch emperor, who is the undead wizard, naturally has no preferential treatment in this regard. He can only perform a "soul contract" and chase corpse witches everywhere and sign a "soul contract" with them. The reason why I need to "chase" is because corpse witches are unwilling to let me get close. Although they dare not resist with force, they will run around as long as they find me, and are forced to do so. In order to improve the efficiency of submission, I had to carry out "hunting" and lead my terror knights to surround me from all sides, trapping a group of corpse witches in the middle, so that they have no way to escape. As long as my subordinates do not take the initiative to launch an attack, the corpse witches cannot carry out self-defense counterattacks. They are not opponents of the strong terror knights, but can only be surrounded and wait for me to sign the "soul contract" one by one and become my direct subordinates.
All of these are all right. Anyway, the corpse witch and even the corpse witch king were intimidated by the power of me, the fourth witch emperor, and were unable to resist. It just took time to subdue me. What made me headache was the attitude of the other three witch emperors - the first witch emperor Titanic, the second witch emperor Benjamin, and the third witch emperor Bebetu. Since I ascended the throne, a series of actions have shown that they seem to be not friendly to me, and even implicit hostility, which made me worry. I don’t know whether they will take action to overthrow my rule by force. This is also the main reason why I hurriedly subdue the corpse witch and eager to expand my power.
Just as I put on the "Fourth Witch Crown", I felt that the other three witch emperors blocked their contact with me and could not communicate with them. Of course, this may be the sequelae brought by Gravesen, because it colluded with Douglas, the blood lich Douglas, and was not favored by the three witch emperors. The relationship between them was relatively bad, which was also in line with the information obtained from the bat demon Dika. However, the next actions showed that they seemed to have no good feelings for me, even though they were unable to mobilize command,
The witch emperor's ability allows me to use my spiritual sense to grasp the movements in the corpse witch territory originally under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Witch Emperor. After I "ascended the throne", the sphere of influence that had been designated among the four witch emperors was unilaterally torn apart by them. The three witch emperors all mobilized the army of corpse witches on the border and drove into my territory collectively and occupied it by force. As long as all the ownerless corpse witches in the occupied area were notified to change the gang and clarify the new rulers, even if they were included in their own rule, they deprived me of ownership of that area.
