The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Gugel didn't return by traveling, because the speed of flying is extremely limited.

He directly set off to the nearest super top-level force nearby.

Then he made connections and directly used the Space Transmission Magic Array to teleport to a coastal power close to the Sea Elf Race.

This coastal power has a relatively good relationship with this super top-level force, with frequent exchanges, so establishing a Space Transmission Magic Array between each other is not an unusual thing.

There are many similar situations like this; generally speaking, once an ordinary power wants to ally with or befriend a super top-level force, it definitely has to establish a Space Transmission Magic Array with that super top-level force. This would allow the people of the super top-level force to arrive at their territory anytime, anywhere.

Otherwise, the super top-level force has no reason to accept an ordinary force as a subordinate.

In fact, the Sea Elf Race itself has the foundation to set up a Space Magic Transmission Array, but these ocean powers find it hard to befriend those on land. Therefore, it's purely a luxury to set up a Space Transmission Magic Array on land leading to the Sea Elf Race.

The only possible locations are the Fishman Race and the Merfolk Race. However, given the current battle situation, it is evident that the Fishman Race and the Merfolk Race are struggling to cope with the attacks from the Gana Race. They are asking for help everywhere, making it impossible for them to support the Sea Elf Race.

Therefore, having the Merfolk Race and Fishman Race send reinforcements through the Space Transmission Magic Array to support the Sea Elf Race is completely impossible, not even worth considering.

After arriving at the territory via the Space Transmission Magic Array, Gugel left that force immediately and went straight into the land of the Sea Elf Race.

Then he headed all the way towards the area bordering the Sea Elf Race and the Chaotic Sea Domain.

Gugel's Wind Magic is particularly powerful; using it for flying boasts significant speed, and he even created a very impressive Wind Magic spell himself.

This Wind Magic doesn't have very strong attack power, but when it comes to traveling, even the Dragon-Man Race finds it hard to catch up to him.

Therefore, it didn't take him long to reach the front lines in total.

Being a very famous figure in the Sea Elf Race, naturally, many recognize him.

But owing to the rules, he still displayed proofs of his identity and then took over command from the high-level members of the Sea Elves there.

He also learned from these high-level Sea Elves that an Undead Force had already attacked a city up front. If that city falls, considering the flying speed of those Undead Creatures, they could reach the location where their army is gathered in less than two hours.

After pondering for a moment, Gugel took out a Communication Magic Array Carrier and established communication with the Great Elder of the Elder Council: "Great Elder, this is Gugel. I've now reached the front line, but in analyzing the situation here, it seems we have gathered less than 1/5th of the needed strength. According to the intelligence from the front lines, these forces are unlikely to stop those Undead Creatures."

"Therefore, my thought here is to temporarily continue retreating, giving up 2-3 cities to set up a new defense line, concentrating forces from other places onto the front line as much as possible."

"Then we can engage with that Undead Force. I also understand some intelligence about the Undead Force. Their flying speed is horribly fast, and should we fall into a disadvantage during a battle, escaping would be out of the question."

Upon hearing Gugel's analysis, the Great Elder of the Elder Council slightly furrowed his brow, then after a brief contemplation, spoke slowly: "Gugel, since I've handed all the command rights of the front line to you, it means I completely trust you. Just act according to your judgment without needing to seek my approval for everything."

"After all, issuing orders oftentimes cannot tolerate any hesitation. Any delay could lead to very serious consequences."

Upon hearing the words from the Great Elder, a trace of emotion crossed Gugel's face, and he finally said slowly, "Thank you, Great Elder, for your trust. Rest assured, I will stabilize the situation at the front lines as soon as possible."

After saying this, Gugel didn't delve into unnecessary words and directly hung up the Communication Magic Array. Then he started issuing commands, ordering the forces stationed here to begin a full retreat, retreating behind three cities.

Upon hearing Gugel's orders, many Sea Elf Warriors expressed their puzzlement.

However, Gugel's reputation spoke for itself, and Gugel had already received a dual authority appointment from both the Great Elder of the Elder Council and the Sea Elf King, so naturally, these Sea Elf Warriors couldn't defy him.

Therefore, even though highly reluctant, they still followed Gugel's orders and quickly began retreating towards the rear.

During the retreat, they didn't suffer harassment from Undead Creatures according to Gugel's judgment. More likely, those Undead Creatures had seized the city at the front and were plundering various resources and wealth from it, hence taking up so much time there.
