Chapter 1307: Chapter 1307

Undead are just undead, and Du You now understood that as well. This was the reason why undead creatures from the Undead Territory were so cheap and abundant; it was definitely not because the Earth Consciousness disliked the Undead.

Evidently, from this battle, Du You could see that the strength of undead creatures wasn’t really that great.

Although, when tested individually, they didn’t seem particularly weak in any aspect, their deficiencies were exposed in actual combat. The strength of the undead was too stable, and their ability to think on their feet was not very flexible.

Other races often burst into strength during combat, displaying much more power than what was evidenced in controlled experiments. The more perilous the situation, the more they could surpass their limits, whereas undead creatures clearly couldn’t.

In this battle, if it weren’t for his and his two sisters’ presence, it was likely that the demons would have suffered even fewer losses than the undead. Even so, having killed one hundred and fifty demons, his side also lost more than a hundred.

If the demons were not a ragtag bunch, if they cooperated with each other and didn’t flee at the first sign of trouble, the outcome of a direct confrontation between his five hundred undead and those three hundred demons might have been uncertain.

To completely control this area, he needed stronger forces.

"What should we do with these bodies?" Lin Yushi said as she looked at the corpses on the ground, which included both undead and demons.

"Send them back. We don’t need them, but someone else will. Whether they are demon or undead bodies, they will be useful." Corpses of any branch of the armed forces may be useless for a Professional, but not for others.

After thinking for a while, Du You said loudly, "Alright, everyone stop, we will camp here. For the coming period, we need to stabilize our current defense line and stop expanding. After this battle, I think those demons will not actively seek trouble with us." The undead nodded their heads, with no opinions to offer.

As for whether their comrades died or they themselves got injured, such concerns were outside the thoughts of the undead. As long as they could complete the tasks given by their master, that was all that mattered.

Speaking of which, Du You was also speechless about these creatures. The undead army he brought this time had significant losses below tier six, all destroyed during a surprise attack. Those below tier five had no chance to even evade.

As for benefits, only he had attained some personal gains. The experience of the territory had greatly increased. Although reaching tier seven was still a distant dream, it was nevertheless an improvement. Indeed, hunting tier six demons here could enhance the influence of the territory.

Next were those orbs, continuously opening, with Du You constantly receiving various benefits. Sadly, though crystal coins were plenty and production was increasing, the equipment he wanted was nowhere to be found.

"Luckily, there’s a consolation prize." When Du You opened a treasure chest, there was a blueprint inside.

Ghost Knight Castle (Tier Six): Allows construction of a Ghost Knight Castle in the territory.

He tucked away the blueprint, examining the items he had unearthed, none of which he could use himself. "They’re all materials, we don’t have a tier six Equipment Maker, so it looks like our equipment will take some time to arrive."

The higher the level, the rarer the equipment. Unfortunately, Du You and his companions currently disdained the equipment made by the makers they had access to, so they were without recourse. Perhaps going back and buying a bow would suffice.

The battle had erupted too suddenly, Du You hadn’t even had time to summon his Summoned Beast, and it had ended so quickly.

Next, Du You began to regroup with his undead on-site, then replenish their combat strength. He hunted the surrounding demons and then summoned them as undead. Although the Liches could summon undead not as high-tier as Du You’s, they could still produce some. Therefore, as time went on, Du You left the residual tasks to these Liches.

Though these creatures were also of tier six, their combative strength wasn’t impressive, but they could still provide auxiliary support.

Meanwhile, the battle for the chaotic land finally began in the rear. The locals and those captured had already been organized, and the Lich King secretly dispatched forces to subtly encircle the chaotic land.

However, due to the shortage of high-tier forces, this encirclement was merely symbolic. If the undead creatures widely fled, such an encirclement definitely couldn’t contain them.

"The master’s intent is to preserve the pattern of the chaotic land," said the Lich King calmly.

Skarow cautiously added, "My humble opinion is that, if following Lord’s intent, he likely wishes to preserve a trading zone. Such a place must have credibility; otherwise, no undead will be willing to come."

"Explain your idea," said the Lich King, who honestly lacked experience in this area. After being re-evolved by Du You, his previous memories had disappeared. The current Lich King was like a newborn not long ago.

"My humble plan is to first intimidate them with military force, but not rashly kill them. Then we tell them we only eliminate the truly evil, which can help us eradicate the power of a few strongest undead and retain them. We could then deploy troops to protect that place, allowing them to continue trading. Though they might not believe it in the short term, over time, it will improve."

Skarow continued, "I’ve heard that some significant undead territories also have these trading zones, just rarely seen here at our borders. We have sufficient strength to protect it, so it shouldn’t be a problem." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

The Lich King nodded, their strongest advantage being their high-end combat capabilities. Most other territories nearby had only one tier six undead because they feared being drafted into combat.

But their forces were plentiful. Dispatching just a few more could successfully safeguard this trading zone.

As for Skarow’s skill in surmising intentions, the Lich King highly approved.

"Good, then follow me. The master has commanded me to train you," commanded the Lich King, as per Du You’s orders.

"I will obey your commands fully," Skarow’s eyes brightened, seeing his chance to enhance his strength approaching. He must perform well, aiming to gain greater authority and more resources.

Following a promising Lord, his achievements would no longer be limited as before. Moreover, after transformation, he knew his body had been marked by Earth. From then on, even thinking of aligning with others was impossible.

If discovered by the Death God of this world, it would mean certain death. Now, the only option left was to follow this path to its end.
