Dreary Traveler's numerous handpicked undead were chilling in his special realm. Despite largely being able to, he had no intentions to allow them to partake in this battle.
At least, not while there were so many other corpses to raise. The corpses of Immortal Adventurers were far more valuable than those of NPCs for they retained some of the players' gear, albeit at reduced Ranks.
They also had higher chances to manifest as higher Rank undead like Skeleton Lords, Kings, Knights, and Mages due to the fact that their Immortal Spirits already made players into a de facto superior version of undead.
On top of that, they often retained combat skills from the players who left these bodies and markers behind. To Dreary Traveler this World Quest was like having a field day, especially with his Lich class's exemplary reanimation skill.
