Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112

Busy with work the entire night, Du You only managed to finish summoning all the corpses left behind by the following noon. Although his summoning range was wide, collecting the bodies still took time.

Not only was collecting the bodies an issue, but there were so many within the casting range that Du You finally felt the pressure of casting spells. Each spell cost a significant amount of Magic Power, so he needed to rest to recover his own Magic Power. It was for this reason that Du You needed to spend so much time summoning.

It had to be said, because those who died here were regular troops, the quality of these skeletons was better.

"Master, what use do you have for these things? We can’t stay in this world forever. Once we leave, these skeletons will slowly lose strength and eventually perish." Lin Yushi asked, not understanding.

Du You nodded, "You’re right, it is indeed so, but we can’t leave for now. As for these things, I’m going to use this time to cause some trouble for the Quicksand Empire."

"Trouble? The Quicksand Empire has many experts and is powerful. These skeletons, although numerous, might not be much to them, right?"

"Yucha, what you said is correct, but who said I intended to use these skeletons to fight their upper-class experts."

After pausing, Du You, pointing towards the desert in front of him, said, "Any powerful race, their upper-class fighters all originate from the lower levels. If there are no lower levels, then extinction isn’t far away. This time, the Quicksand Empire has launched a full-scale attack on all the surrounding forces, their own strength must be insufficient, and the upper-class is focused. Although they’ve driven many Sandpeople civilians to attack the surrounding areas, I believe more Sandpeople civilians have actually hidden themselves."

"So, Master, do you mean we should take these skeletons to attack those Sandpeople civilians?"

Lin Yushi had just finished speaking when her sister tapped her, "If we were going to do it ourselves, then we could just fight. What would we need these skeletons for? The Master’s intention must be to let the skeletons attack freely." Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Du You nodded, "Exactly, that’s the plan. By then, I’ll let these skeletons roam freely in the desert, taking down Sandpeople whenever they see them. These skeletons may not be strong enough, but they are much stronger than the average Sandperson."

"Furthermore, once these skeletons are dispersed, they won’t be easy to find, and it will be very difficult for those Sandpeople upper-class to clean them up completely. By the time they are dealt with, the Sandpeople in this vicinity will probably be mostly dead."

They definitely won’t all be wiped out; Du You was certain of that. But if a portion of the Sandpeople here could be reduced, his own side would be much safer. The Quicksand Empire was different from normal empires, where military forces were often established locally.

"This strategy is really quite good," Lin Yucha commented with a smile.

No matter how many Sandpeople died, they were the enemies of mankind; neither Du You nor anyone else would have the slightest bit of sympathy.

Sympathizing with such enemies of humanity was simply courting death. "By the way, let’s not waste those Demon Extermination Spirits you have, Yu Shi. Send them out together." Demon Extermination Spirits could only last three days before they dissipated. Although it was uncertain how effective they would be, it was still better than leaving them idle here.

Lin Yushi nodded, "Hmph, you could have said that earlier. A day has already been lost."

Du You said nothing, watching Lin Yushi release all the Demon Extermination Spirits. Du You also dispatched most of the skeletons, leaving only a portion here in preparation for a potential rush by Sandpeople refugees at the mountain pass.

The skeletons burrowed into the earth, concealing themselves. Du You couldn’t control those skeletons beyond a certain range, so they could only act according to his previous orders.

As for those Demon Extermination Spirits that left Lin Yushi, they became active. The further away they were, the more disobedient they became, and eventually, not even commands from Lin Yushi would work. But it didn’t matter, as there were no people in that area.

Upon seeing these entities, Sandpeople would surely attack, and when attacked, Demon Extermination Spirits would definitely retaliate, so they would still have some effect. However, because the distance was too far, both had no way of confirming exactly what was happening.

Du You could only feel the massive disappearance of his skeletons, without knowing where exactly they were vanishing. But judging from the increasingly large-scale eliminations, it was likely the work of Sandpeople experts. Du You was pleased; the more Sandpeople experts took action, the more it indicated the success of his plan, and certainly, many had perished.

Meanwhile, logistics in the rear were continuously delivering various construction materials.

Under the function of territorial craftsmen, even though this was a desert, a city foundation was still established.

Unexpectedly, the most important part of building the foundation turned out not to be the craftsmen, but his own Lava Warriors. Following the directions of the craftsmen, they used their lava to melt the sand beneath the ground into hard blocks of stone to establish a solid foundation. Afterwards, the only task left for the craftsmen was to construct the fort-city above it.

"Who would have thought that these Lava Warriors could be utilized this way." Du You was incredulous; he had never thought of such a method before. It seems that in the past, he had been too rigid in the use of his military forces.

Who says combat troops can’t be used for construction? Here is an example right in front of his eyes.

Seeing the city’s construction progressing rapidly, it likely wouldn’t take more than two months to be completely built. Reinforcements from the rear kept arriving steadily, and Du You ultimately, through his own company, purchased some large-scale golem transport machinery from the Academy’s territory.

With these machines, Du You finally resolved the logistical transport issue. The golems were very large and incredibly durable, capable of carrying a substantial load. The stone needed for the city’s later construction was transported from the rear. Without these apparatuses, it would have been a considerable hassle to construct the city in a short amount of time.

Shaliya was also coordinating at full force in the rear to speed up the city’s construction. The news of this city’s construction reached the Divine Flame Empire, which was reportedly planning to follow suit, although the war there had not ended yet.

Their enemy was stronger, with more experts, and crucially, wouldn’t rush in all at once like here.

As time passed, those northern powers gradually began to falter. One day, some new reports arrived in Du You’s hands. "So the Divine Flame Empire wants our assistance, do they lack the military power from our side?"

Indeed, the document in Du You’s hands was a negotiation letter sent from the Divine Flame Empire.
