Chapter 1290: Chapter 1290

Watching the other party leave, Du You turned to the Lich King and said, "You go back and continue to accelerate the conquest."

The Lich King nodded slightly, then left the territory again. Along the way, the scouts kept watch as the other party proceeded to the Green-haired Lord’s land, which indeed was the last piece bordering Du You’s domain.

Besides the surrounding three locations, there really wasn’t any danger on his side.

Not long after, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi also returned here, having been notified by Du You to come back.

"You already know about the situation. Despite our caution, we’ve still attracted attention. So next, what we need to do is to quickly raise the level of our territory. What are your thoughts?"

Lin Yucha immediately replied, "First off, attacking the nearby territories is out of the question. That Green-haired guy must be tier six, although I don’t know how many there are. But with our current accumulation of tier five forces, we’re definitely not his match."

"There must be only one, it can’t be multiple; otherwise, they would have been dispatched to the front lines already."

Hearing what Lin Yushi said, the two exchanged glances, wondering why they hadn’t thought of that. Indeed, Lin Yushi was very smart, just not used to exercising her brain too often. This oversight had not been considered by either of them before. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱

"You’re right, a Lord on the border who has reached tier six is generally only one. Otherwise, they would not have avoided the battlefield. A territory with many tier six Undead would typically be far from the front lines."

Lin Yucha nodded and then continued, "We can’t attack the lands of chaos; only near the front lines or borders would there be lands of chaos, and each one houses more than one tier six powerhouse, which is beyond our capability to handle. The front line is even less feasible, as we have seen it before."

Yes, they had fled from the front line, chased by many tier six. Had it not been for internal strife among their pursuers, whether they could have safely left this world would have been a question.

"So now, there’s only one method left, which is still our previous plan to clear the entire Corpse Beast Plain. With three years of time, even if something goes wrong, we will have a buffer."

This discussion was akin to no result, as the plan remained unchanged. Who could have thought that they’d be targeted by a tier six Lord so soon, which really disrupted Du You’s plans.

"We don’t need as long as three years," Lin Yushi interjected. They never took that long for a mission. Their concept of time was different from other Professionals.

"There is another method. If it truly becomes unmanageable, we could turn our own territory into something like the land of chaos. As long as we ensure permanent non-interference in other Undead’s lives, although it may cause some turmoil, other Lords would definitely not dare to provoke us. Plus, we can use this policy to level up to tier six."

Du You shook his head, "That’s the last resort and we should avoid it if possible. It poses too many risks, and could easily result in damage to our territory." Du You certainly didn’t want to resort to such a method.

Even if all those Undead were driven out later, his reputation would be ruined.

In the Netherworld, reputation didn’t carry much weight, but it wasn’t entirely useless. With a bad reputation, it wasn’t easy to make a living under someone else’s command. He could leave at any time, but his territory couldn’t.

Having invested so much, for Du You to abandon his territory would be more painful than cutting off flesh.

Maintaining the original plan, Du You also began to quicken the pace of conquest. Two months later, the entire plain had been cleared over and over again, and even the central location of the territory had started to gain recognition from the world.

Some Undead similar to those in his own forces began to emerge from the ground and directly joined his domain. Every day, a large number of Zombies and skeletons surfaced, so many that it was imperative to sacrifice them timely.

Were it not for the lack of a special environment here, perhaps guardians of the Dragon Tomb and Bone Dragons would appear out of thin air. Unfortunately, the concentration of deathly power here was still insufficient to spawn such Undead.

"How come it’s still a little short?" Du You looked at the experience bar on the panel, always falling just a bit short. Even though the gap was not large, this tiny bit was thwarting his territory’s further advancement.

"Based on the daily production of Corpse Beasts, if we continue hunting them, it might take two years to reach tier six. This assumes continuous production of Corpse Beasts. If later recognized by the world, and the emerging Undead directly belong to us, then it becomes futile. Killing your own Undead is of no use."

"Do you have any other ideas?" Du You asked wearily, not adept at planning in this regard.

When it came to territorial planning, Lin Yucha indeed seemed more suitable than him.

As expected, after pondering for a while, Lin Yucha offered Du You a strategy, "There’s one last thing to try. If it doesn’t work, then we’ll have to risk entering the front lines, where we might gain that bit of experience."

"Just say it, the territory will support you fully," Du You was not keen on hastily entering the front lines. If he were not summoned, voluntarily going there could cause some undesirable changes. For instance, his territory might be included in the frontline territory.

"We can’t just kill those Corpse Beasts anymore, but what if we sold them? Capturing and selling to the Undead in the lands of chaos, especially those tier five Corpse Beasts, is sure to have a significant impact."

"Yes, others kill Corpse Beasts to promote themselves, or directly convert them into subordinates. Selling them would certainly be an unprecedented move that cannot go unnoticed," Lin Yushi exclaimed excitedly.

"Let’s give it a try. It doesn’t matter what we get in exchange, as long as we gain the experience," Du You responded.

Du You was no expert in tight calculations, so he could only roughly estimate this aspect of experience gain. That’s why he initially thought occupying the plain would meet the experience requirement, only to face a shortfall.

"I’ll start preparing now," said Lin Yucha as he turned to leave, which in reality was all about coordination. The one who would show up wasn’t them, it was the Lich King. A Summoned Beast, this individual didn’t fear death.

Adorned with regal Lich aura, where he went no one saw him as an ordinary Undead. Especially among his kind, they could sense a different pressure emanating from the Lich King.
