Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289

When this strange zombie arrived, the Bone Dragon positioned near the border detected it immediately and sent a message to Du You. Most importantly, the creature did not attack on its own.

A zombie, carrying a large flag, the flag adorned with an indistinct green pattern.

However simple, it was still a flag, which ordinary undead creatures do not typically use.

"It didn’t attack on its own, so it must be sentient. It seems it’s here to find us; let it approach," Du You immediately communicated and along the path, all his subservient undead creatures refrained from attacking it.

And the zombie looked quite pleased with itself. Yes, that rigid face somehow managed to show a smug expression.

"Then this time, you shall handle it," Du You thought to himself as the Lich King, who was still fighting outside, suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside Du You. Without the Lich King’s control on the other side, there was no chaos. Besides, the enemy was not very strong and the Bone Dragon took over control instantly, continuing the subsequent sweeping and massacre.

It didn’t take long for the creature to reach his territory. Du You sensed from afar that the zombie was definitely in the late stages of tier five. Once the zombie arrived, it didn’t enter immediately, but looked around.

While looking, it nodded from time to time and occasionally shook its head, seemingly critiquing something.

It wasn’t until the Lich King appeared that the creature turned its attention to him. "Who are you and what brings you here?" rasped the Lich King.

With the Lich King’s abilities, he just had to capture a few undead and absorb their knowledge to learn the language and script of this world. This method was far more direct and convenient than using any guide.

"Are you the lord of this territory? Why have you built so many fancy things here, what are these for? Nevermind, it doesn’t matter if they’re useless, there are many more who are more troublesome than you."

This guy was actually examining these things, thinking these structures were useless. Of course, Du You did not bother to explain; these functional buildings were unique. If people knew their purposes, who knew what they might do? The combat power in this world was too high, and Du You had to be exceedingly cautious.

"What do you want?" the Lich King did not care about what the other had said.

As for names, since the other party had not introduced theirs, there was none, which was quite normal in the Netherworld.

"I am an envoy from the Green-haired Lord, your territory has severely impacted the Green-haired Lord’s land. Many corpse beasts have run over there, of course, if you submit, that would resolve the issue."

Corpse beasts? Du You thought about it, it seemed to be true. But corpse beasts going to the frontlines were seeking death, winding up in the chaotic areas, they might be captured as pets. If they ran into the territory of a tier six undead, they might also be captured. Whether to recruit them or kill them to boost one’s own forces seemed like good options.

So, their claim that he was impacting them was probably just an excuse. Were they trying to indirectly control the Corpse Beast Plain? Or did they have other motives?

In any case, Du You was unclear, but it was better not to provoke them now. Given the current strength of his territory, although strong, a tier six powerhouse taking action couldn’t necessarily be repulsed by them. Even if he could fend them off, the loss would be heavy. Losing the functional buildings would be a disaster.

Besides, there wasn’t just one person on the other side. That so-called Green-haired must be the nearby tier six lord, otherwise, they wouldn’t act this way.

Du You thought to himself while silently ordering the tier five branches of the armed forces in his territory to hide, not letting the other side discover them just yet. If the other party got any peculiar ideas, that would be troublesome.

Under Du You’s control, the Lich King spoke, "Submission is possible, but we need time."

The zombie nodded without hesitation, "I know, I know, it’s a newly established territory, of course, it takes a lot of time to stabilize. But with our reputation, stabilizing the territory should be pretty easy."

After some thought, the zombie continued, "The Green-haired Lord doesn’t have much time to wait, so, I’ll give you three years. Within these three years, you must pay homage and show your submission."

Three years? Had he heard wrong, wasn’t it just three days? Du You was astonished, he initially thought to use the Lich King to just buy some time, thinking a few months would be enough at the rate of their development.

If necessary, squeezing it to within a month was also not out of the question..WebElement of troops under his command, and with new forces being added every month, as long as there was enough time, the opponent wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

But Du You never expected, they would directly give him three years. If these were humans, three days would be more reasonable. Du You suddenly realized that their concepts of time were quite different.

Undead creatures have a weak sense of time, just like the previous gathering, once every ten years; many undead felt it was quite frequent.

Perhaps in the eyes of the undead, three years was far from sufficient to stabilize the entire territory. After all, controlling the whole Corpse Beast Plain, populated solely by corpse beasts and spanning a vast area nearly half the size of the Green-haired Lord’s territory, was no easy task.

The reason the lord hadn’t occupied this area was partly due to the scarce resources and partly due to its proximity to the chaotic lands and the battlefield. Getting too involved could lead to trouble. Fınd the newest release on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱

Now, with someone capable of unifying it, it would be easy to just take them under command, deal with those who disobey.

That was the normal way of communication among the undead.

"So, you’re not willing?" noticing the Lich King hadn’t answered, the zombie seemed somewhat displeased.

Regaining his composure, Du You quickly signaled the Lich King. The Lich King shook his head, "Agreed, we’ll meet after three years," said the Lich King, word by painstaking word.

"Very well, then I shall return and report back." This Lich was quite sensible, which was good. If they had insisted on resisting, the lord wouldn’t spare them, and escaping wouldn’t have been guaranteed. Coming here this time, he hadn’t expected that the territory had quite a few tier fives because Du You initially hadn’t hidden them, and the other side had seen some.

But that too was normal. Controlling such a vast territory without many tier five powerhouses was impossible.
