He wiped the cold sweat from his brow and breathed out, "I will never do this kind of thing again." Follow current novᴇls on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
The two sisters watched Du You with a smile—there was no help for it. After being busy for such a long time, they had only managed to create a batch of forces at the peak of the fourth tier. Even if the sisters took action themselves, it would probably take only a few moves to annihilate them all.
Although these zombies were useful for the development of the territory, and even more so for the company, they were of little effect in boosting Du You’s personal strength.
This was the case only in this world, coupled with the fact that Du You had nothing to do at the moment. Otherwise, he might even be too lazy to create Bone Dragons. With his immense personal strength, these low-level undead no longer had any supportive effect.
He opened the panel and looked at the current attributes of his territory.
Territory: City of Death (Tier 6, Tangled Undead World, Locked)
Size: 100,000 square kilometers
Lord: Du You / Deputy Lord: None / Commander: None
Income: 15,000 Dark Crystal Coins per day. Expenditure: 5,000 Dark Crystal Coins per day.
Military force: 108,045
Subordinate worlds: None
With the leveling up of today’s City of Death, the amount of Crystal Coins earned far exceeded the daily consumption. And consuming so much every day was because of the previous decision to lock the world.
Not locking it would have made Du You feel very uneasy, worrying about others reaching this world to make trouble. Now, the world was completely his own—at least until a problem arose in his territory.
The population and military force were not much different, and after careful calculations, Du You finally understood what was going on.
The undead creatures produced by the territory themselves counted as both the military force and population; this aspect should be balanced. However, the undead creatures from outside, even including the Bone Dragons and guardians of the Dragon Tomb created by himself, were not recognized by the territory and not counted as military force. Yet these beings could still be considered part of the territory’s population.
A territory founded on the undead was strange in this way; military forces not produced by oneself, no matter how strong, were not recognized.
Well, such a small issue had no effect on him at all.
Next, he would organize the territory, and then secretly gather intelligence from the surrounding areas, especially the battlefield. To elevate the bloodline of the two sisters, joining the battlefield was definitely in the cards.
But exactly how to enter the battlefield required careful consideration. Without a summoning from the Death God, forcibly joining the fight wasn’t a big deal for individual undead, but for an entire army as large as his to enter would not be easy.
And over at the land of chaos, there were now fears in their hearts. They had never anticipated that this place would suddenly become a Tier 6 territory, with several Tier 6 members of the Dragon Clan to boot, making it not an easy opponent to tackle.
Due to Du You’s concealment of information, the people over there didn’t know how many Zombie Dragons, Ghost Dragons, and the like were here; everything was hidden and invisible to outsiders. The Zombie Dragons were only seen a few times. According to Du You’s intelligence, it seemed that those creatures might be plotting something.
But with his absolute strength overwhelming them, Du You hardly took them to heart.
That day, as Du You was fusing Tier 5 Bone Dragons onto the Skeleton Wall, turning them into peculiar defense structures that could only be used for their breath attack, he suddenly felt strong forces approaching from a distance.
Before long, through the Bone Dragon sentinels far away, Du You saw a group of undead traversing the sky toward him. The strength of these undead creatures was probably at Tier 6, and there were surprisingly more than a hundred of them.
"Only an internal powerful territory or the Death God Franluoka, the master of this region, could mobilize so many Tier 6 beings," Du You said in a grave tone, and then, along with the two sisters, they quietly concealed themselves.
On the surface, the Lich King still dealt with them. This group wasn’t going to the battlefield but was coming for him. The strongest among them was a red skeleton, whose aura even suppressed Du You, who was hidden in the shadows.
"Late Tier 6, definitely late Tier 6, we’re not a match for them right now."
Du You estimated that if he and the two sisters worked together, they might be able to escape from the enemy, but definitely not defeat them. It would even be difficult to injure this individual. If someone of this strength was moving about, they would certainly be underlings of Franluoka. As for the general situation, Du You wasn’t completely in the dark.
"We are messengers of the great Death God Franluoka. You took out Green Hair before, didn’t you?" the red skeleton surveyed the surroundings. "Not bad, not bad at all, there are so many Tier 6 members of the Dragon Clan here."
The red skeleton was surprised himself; eliminating so many Tier 6 Dragons wouldn’t be easy, even for him. He truly didn’t know how so many Dragons had gathered on the border.
The Lich King nodded slightly, "Yes, Green Hair wanted us to submit."
The other side didn’t know the whole story and thought that Green Hair, the idiot, wanted a Tier 6 subordinate—only to be killed in the ensuing fight. Serving him right for dying without even investigating the intelligence properly.
Being a skeletal undead, he didn’t like that zombie covered in green hair in the first place.
"Very good, that guy had it coming, and no one else is to blame. But since he was one of Franluoka’s sub-lord, now that you’ve killed him, you need to take his place."
With Du You’s instructions, the Lich King agreed without hesitation, "It would be our honor to serve under the majestic Death God." That was the longest sentence ever spoken by the Lich King.
"Not bad, not bad, I wasn’t wrong about you; you are different from those annoying Liches. But there’s another thing—since you are so strong, this front line against the Demons should be entrusted to you," the red skeleton ordered without any room for negotiation, and Du You’s heart leapt for joy.
He was worried about how to get involved in the battlefield, but here it was being served to him on a silver platter.
The Lich King merely feigned deep thought before nodding and saying, "Fine."
Seeing the Lich being so amenable, the skeleton was very pleased. The battlefield was a tedious duty for them, but for Du You, it was a great opportunity to upgrade his territory.
Perhaps on the battlefield, his territory experience could step by step climb to Tier 7, though he didn’t know how to obtain the plans for that. Well, he’d think of a way to inquire about it once he was back.
After saying all this, the other side didn’t intend to stay and turned to leave. It seemed that bringing so many Tier 6 entourages was only to intimidate them. Many undead creatures, without a reminder of their place, failed to recognize the disparity between them.
