Chapter 2: The Goblin Mage Conquest
---
As Crow's Dire Wolf thundered toward the Goblin Mage Village, the wind howled fiercely around him, carrying with it the scent of magic and fear. The village, once a haven for the most powerful of goblin mages, was now about to become the latest conquest of the Necromancer King. His army, vast and countless, surged forward with a precision and unity that only a commander like Crow could inspire.
The 11 Quintillion Goblin Warriors marched in unison, their swords raised and their shields at the ready. Behind them, the Undead Goblin Boss led the charge, roaring a battle cry as it cleaved through the terrain with its massive weapon.
But ahead of them lay an even greater challenge—10 Quintillion Goblin Mages, all at Level 5. These mages had fortified their village with magic and wards, but Crow knew no magic could keep them safe for long. They had already made the mistake of underestimating the power of the undead.

The Goblin Mage Defenders
The Goblin Mage Village was a sprawling, ancient settlement surrounded by enchanted forests and barriers. Its walls pulsed with magical energy, and the sky overhead shimmered with defensive spells. But for all their efforts to defend their home, they were no match for Crow's overwhelming undead army.
At the heart of the village, the Goblin Mage Bosses awaited. Eight of the most powerful mages, each at Level 20, prepared to defend their home with devastating magic. Their power could shape the battlefield, but Crow had a secret weapon—his undead.

Goblin Mage Village Defense
The village's defenses were formidable. The 10 Quintillion Goblin Mages positioned themselves in strategic locations, forming a defensive ring around the village. Their eyes glowed with magical energy, and their hands crackled with raw power. The mages had prepared for this battle for years, but they were not prepared for the sheer scale of Crow's army.
Goblin Mage Defense Formation: The mages grouped themselves into units, each with specialized abilities. Some mages focused on offensive spells, others on defensive barriers, and some even on summoning elemental creatures to aid in the battle. Their strategy was sound, but it lacked the critical factor—Crow's ability to control death itself.

The Undead Army Charges
Crow, seated upon his Dire Wolf, observed the defensive line of the goblin mages with a cold, calculating gaze. His Charismatic Influence rippled through his army, bolstering their strength and focus.
"Prepare to breach the village," Crow ordered, his voice calm yet filled with undeniable authority. The Undead Goblin Boss stepped forward, his blade gleaming in the light as it led the charge toward the nearest barrier.
With a single command, Crow raised his hand, and the 11 Quintillion Goblin Warriors advanced in unison. The ground shook beneath their collective steps as they prepared for the onslaught. Each warrior was armed with a corrupted sword, made from the bones of fallen enemies, and their armor was fashioned from the remains of creatures long dead.
The first wave of the undead goblins slammed into the village's magical wards with overwhelming force, their weapons clashing against the shimmering barriers. The Goblin Mages retaliated, their hands glowing as they cast spells with deadly intent.

The Battle Begins
The battle erupted with blinding light as the Goblin Mages launched their first attacks. Fireballs rained down from above, crashing into the undead warriors with explosive force. Mana Shields flickered around the mages, absorbing damage and protecting them from some of the undead onslaught.
But Crow's forces were relentless. The Undead Goblin Boss swung its massive sword, shattering the magical barrier with a single blow. Behind it, the Goblin Warriors surged forward, their Level 5 strength amplified by the Undead Leadership skill Crow possessed.
As the mages regrouped, the 8 Level 20 Goblin Mage Bosses stepped forward, their eyes burning with rage. They chanted ancient incantations, and the ground beneath Crow's feet trembled.
"Meteor Strike!" one of the Goblin Mage Bosses roared.
Massive boulders of molten rock fell from the sky, crashing into the undead horde and setting the air ablaze. The sheer destruction from the Meteor Strike sent shockwaves across the battlefield, knocking several of Crow's Undead Goblin Warriors off their feet.
Yet, Crow showed no fear. With a cold smile, he raised his hand again, and a flood of Undead Goblin Warriors surged forward, surrounding the mages. The Undead Goblin Boss crushed a Goblin Mage with a single swing of its greatsword, and the rest of the undead pressed the attack.
"Undead Legion, rise!" Crow called out.
From the ground, the dead of the Goblin Mage Village began to stir. Thousands of fallen warriors, slain by the Goblin Mages, were raised from the earth by Crow's Necromantic Powers. They were now part of his army, their bodies reanimated and their souls bound to his will.
The Goblin Mage Bosses, realizing the danger they were in, began to fall back, but it was too late. One by one, the undead began to overwhelm them.

The Tides of Battle Turn
Crow's undead army, now bolstered by the 10 Quintillion Goblin Warriors and the countless undead raised from the fallen, pressed the attack relentlessly. Even the powerful Goblin Mage Bosses, each capable of devastating the battlefield with their magic, found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer numbers and might of Crow's forces.
"No one escapes the dead." Crow murmured to himself as he watched the battle unfold, his eyes cold and calculating. He could feel the power of his undead army growing with each fallen enemy, each goblin mage that fell before him.
The Goblin Mage Bosses continued to fight, but one by one, their magic began to falter under the onslaught. Their Arcane Shields shattered, and their Mana Shields were drained by the relentless tide of undead.
As the battle drew to a close, the Goblin Mage Village had been broken. Crow's undead now owned the land, and the goblin mages, though powerful, had fallen to his might.
With a final wave of his hand, the 8 Level 20 Goblin Mage Bosses were raised from the dead, now bound to Crow's will as his loyal undead servants.

Victory
The Goblin Mage Village was now Crow's domain, and his undead army grew ever larger. As Crow gazed out over the battlefield, his eyes gleamed with satisfaction. He had conquered the powerful mages and claimed their magic as his own. The world trembled before the Necromancer King, and soon, nothing would stand in his way.
The village had fallen, and now, Crow's undead legions would march on to the next conquest. The Goblin Mage Village would be remembered as the first of many victories in Crow's unrelenting rise to power.
