Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285

Having entered the fifth tier, it was time to swiftly construct the blueprints in hand. This time, the task wasn’t limited to his own blueprints—as the undead he had slain during his previous escape had also brought him two new sets of plans.

Du You started the construction from scratch, and with a plentiful supply of labor, building was remarkably easy. Every undead creature was a labor force unto itself, and aside from Bone Dragons who lacked nimble claws, all could contribute to the work.

This was sharply different from other races; even the guardians of the Dragon Tomb needed to work.

Thus, it didn’t take long for the fifth-tier buildings to be constructed one by one. The first to be completed was the wall at the edge of his fifth-tier territory, an edifice that Du You placed great importance on—prompting the first segment of the wall to be constructed ahead of other buildings.

Skeleton Wall (Tier 5): Defense 50+50+50, magic resistance 50+50+50, containing a Magic Barrier, which prevents any attacks on both the wall and the protected area until the barrier is shattered. Updates are released by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍

Function: The Skeleton Wall can automatically condense bone arrows to attack enemies, with an attack strength of 50, and includes soul damage. Skeletal Class Undead can be fused into the Skeleton Wall to enhance defense and offense. Allied Skeletal Class Undead can move freely in and out of the wall, which will not obstruct them.

This was a fifth-tier wall, not to mention its powerful defensive functions and inherent barrier capabilities; its subsequent features were far from simple. It could attack automatically with considerable force. Most importantly, it didn’t obstruct entry and exit of Skeletal Class Undead, and Skeletal Class Undead creatures could be embedded into the wall for defense.

Du You’s eyes lit up, "If embedding increases the power, maybe I can embed a few Bone Dragons for use." Right, that was Du You’s idea.

Once his own level increased, Bone Dragons would surely reach the fifth tier, and the wall could at most embed creatures of the fifth tier. Bone Dragons of the fifth tier placed on the wall would definitely perform to his satisfaction.

The Lich Hall and the Soul-gathering Tower followed; both were auxiliary constructions to the Mage Tower.

Lich Hall: Trains liches equivalent to the territory’s tier at a rate of 100/month, with no Crystal Coin cost.

Soul-gathering Tower (Tier 5): Can gather ghost souls to attack enemies in the territory and also train the ghost soul branch of the armed forces.

Shadow Soul Assassins level 45: 200 units/month, 200 blue Crystal Coins/unit.

Ghost Soul Mages level 46: 100 units/month, 250 blue Crystal Coins/unit.

A hundred fifth-tier liches a month without any expense, tantamount to the mages among the undead. The magic-class strength of his own territory had once again gained enhancement. The key was the lack of expense, saving a tremendous number of Crystal Coins.

The fifth-tier Soul-gathering Tower, producing Shadow Soul Assassins and Ghost Soul Mages, both soul types. Shadow Soul Assassins, elusive as shadows with formidable assassination abilities, while Ghost Soul Mages were pure Illusionists.

This kind of illusion-creating ability might not have much use here, but if taken to Earth, the effects would be terrifying. For living beings, the higher their intelligence, the greater the effects of illusion on them.

If in the future he could tidy up these undead and find a way to sell them, perhaps the benefits obtained could be even greater. Selling undead was one of the main businesses of many Undead Territory lords. But Du You didn’t meet the conditions to sell them, unable to find buyers. The military forces of the Undead Territory had always been exemplars of quality and abundance at bargain prices.

Inside the walls, the first Death Beam Tower stood erect—this was a fifth-tier offensive weapon.

Death Beam Tower (Tier Five):

Height of 5 meters, it concentrates the power of death to fire beams of death energy, with an attack range of 10,000 meters and an attack interval of 0.5 seconds. The explosion of Death Qi affects an area of 30 meters, with a certain chance to transform the dead into Undead, and its lethality on the living is doubled.

Compared to his own Ice Tower, it was almost the same height, but the attack method was the concentration of Death Qi. The attack range was broader, and so was the area of lethality. Its power to kill living beings was unquestionably superior to his Ice Tower.

There was no helping it, this thing was inherently Tier Five, while the Ice Tower had been upgraded by himself.

After experimenting, Du You found that the power of the Death Beam Tower was incredibly formidable, its direct attack power might be slightly weaker than other Tier Five defense towers, but the effect of doubling the damage to living creatures made the Death Beam Tower quite dangerous.

Pit of Ten Thousand Bones (Tier Five):

Sword and Shield Skeleton Level 38: 500 per month, full price 200 Yellow Crystal Coins each

Skeleton Archer Level 39: 500 per month, full price 200 Yellow Crystal Coins each

Death Guard Level 47: 100 per month, full price 300 Blue Crystal Coins each

The Skeletal Class Pit of Ten Thousand Bones was a very decent military building, and a fairly standard one at that. Sadly, only one type was Tier Five, the other two were Tier Four, which was a little disappointing.

After all, in Du You’s opinion, if soldiers didn’t reach Tier Five, they were basically not worth much attention. However, in the end, Du You still summoned and tested them, wondering if these forces could possibly be upgraded.

The first type was the Sword and Shield Skeleton, a very common Skeleton that fought with a sword and shield. Their combat level was decent, though they lacked strength and were fast. But why demand so much of the Undead, which were inherently numerous and cheap? Perhaps the Sword and Shield Skeletons could become the main force in his territory in the future.

The second type was the Skeleton Archer, another common branch of the armed forces. Their only advantage was that the archers could condense their own arrows, eliminating the need for logistical preparation, though their accuracy was a significant issue.

The brains of skeletons were not good, thus neither was their skill. Once they scaled up, they would simply fire volleys to solve this problem. Moreover, with the characteristic of skeletons never tiring, such an archer force would be stronger than a human archer force.

The last type was the Tier Five Death Guard. Once created, Du You discovered that the Death Guard was actually another type of Warrior. Without a shield, they only wielded a large bone sword.

It seemed the bone sword, as big as a door board, was the weapon of the Death Guard. The Death Guard was completely wrapped in white bone armor, marked with various strange runes, making them look extremely mysterious.

At a glance, without looking closely, one could not see the hollows in the armor, and from a distance, they resembled real people. If taken to another plane, one could convince others they were warriors who practiced the powers of the Death Attribute.

In any case, their design was excellent, just like his own Bone Dragon.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yushi decided immediately that in the future, the Death Guards would become the patrol units for the entire territory, as well as the guards at various doors. To speak of it, using Tier Five Undead for such duties was truly a luxury.

But there was no choice, their appearance was simply the best among all the Undead.
