Chapter 1310: Chapter 1310
"Skarow’s power progression is indeed quick. It took us so long to climb from tier two to the peak of tier five, yet he achieved it in less than half a month," Lin Yushi exclaimed.
Lin Yucha shook her head, "You only see the speed, not the future. It’s uncertain how long it will take for him to adapt to his own power. Moreover, whether he can breakthrough to tier six in his lifetime is also questionable. But considering his potential was not high, reaching this level is already an achievement." After all, he had just transformed and was only at three stars.
Du You spread his hands, "I didn’t expect this guy to be so strong. I originally wanted him to just reach tier four and stop there, but who could have anticipated he would complete even the tier six advancement task."
In terms of strategizing tasks, Skarow truly surpassed himself by a lot. If he had such strategic abilities, perhaps his own progress would be even quicker. Nevertheless, Du You was not envious.
Others didn’t have his ten-star status or dual professions, which were his advantages.
The driving force from having two professions almost guaranteed that he wouldn’t get stuck at any bottleneck.
"However, it’s also good this way, at least he now has the power to protect himself, and when they return, we can head back," he reflected.
Their mission here was completed—establishing a territory and locking down this world. Their tier-six advancement tasks were finished, and both sisters enhanced their bloodline reaching tier six.
With these matters settled, their situation was no longer what it had been. Even if their skills were not fully refined yet, it didn’t matter whether they stayed here or went to the Yalan Continent. After all, he possessed territories of two tier-six personnel.
"Hey, I didn’t expect this to work!" Suddenly, Du You sensed something.
The two sisters came over and were also surprised, "So, it turns out you don’t need to die in our territory. Even bringing corpses here afterward has the same effect."
Just then, they had entered the territory, and along with them, were the bodies of demons.
Once these bodies entered, a special force was extracted from them. Externally, the bodies seemed no different, but the mystical power was drawn out, and his territory’s Crystal Coins began to increase.
This was a feature of the territory, which could convert the souls of dead enemies into a proportional amount of Crystal Coins.
Now it seemed, it wasn’t literal souls, but some residual soul power.
"Lucky us, if only we knew and had transported the bodies back sooner," Du You regretted because soul power had dissipated from the bodies over time, which would have otherwise brought greater benefits.
"Now that we have discovered it, it’s not late. From now on, we’ll quickly transport back the bodies of enemies we kill to reap a great harvest," he planned.
Lin Yucha shook her head, "High-level bodies are worth transporting, but let’s forget about ordinary ones. It wastes time and the gains are too little. It’s not worth it; better to focus on something more valuable."
The group returned to the territory and then ordered the construction of new buildings. Less than a day later, after the Lich King had dealt with affairs on the other side, he returned here with Skarow. At the chaotic lands, after leaving ten Ghost Dragons to guard, they did not retain any other Undead. Even if those Undead fled, he didn’t mind.
This sort of thing, Skarow had already analyzed before and his thoughts were almost exactly as he had predicted.
"My lord, my ladies," Skarow greeted Du You and hurried over bowing deeply, almost like a sycophant. Du You suddenly felt déjà vu, reminiscent of some creature by an emperor’s side in a television series.
"Alright, lift your head. I have a question for you. What do you think should be the next direction for our territory’s development?" There was no need for pointless chatter with an Undead, straight to the point was better.
Not to mention, this guy was a follower of his territory, flattery was unnecessary.
Skarow’s eyes shifted before he said, "Lord, do you want to expand influence or ensure safety?"
"Both!" Du You declared dominantly.
"In that case, we might need to keep a low profile initially. After a few years, when our armed forces are sufficient, we’ll deploy a massive number at the battlefield to suppress it. We’ll meet the experience needs all at once. With this opportunity, people will see our strength, the Death God won’t care about us, and others won’t be able to deal with us."
"Next, we’ll advance to tier seven. Although I’m not sure how to get tier-seven branch of the armed forces blueprints, we do have the Mage Tower. I don’t know if the Mage Tower will directly produce a thousand tier-seven combatants, but as long as there’s one, we are safe," he explained his thoughts.
Du You listened and quite agreed with him. It was a very cautious plan, without rushing.
As for the situation with tier-seven branch of the armed forces buildings, Du You himself didn’t know, these things weren’t available in the academy, nor could they be found on the market. Even with his company’s extended construction time, they hadn’t acquired such things.
"There’s one issue left, concerning higher-tier Crystal Coins, but of course, you can handle it," Skarow added.
Du You waved his hand, dismissing the flattery, "Leave the Crystal Coins to me, and other matters too. Now, your task is to develop the territory well."
"You mean?" Skarow, thrilled, began to shape-shift even on his stiff face. Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
"I am appointing you as the deputy lord of the City of Death, from now on, you’re in charge of this territory. But, if you somehow mess it up, you don’t need me to deal with you, you won’t survive in this world anyway, you understand?"
"Of course, of course, I understand," he sincerely acknowledged. Owning such a territory was intriguing. If any problems arose with the territory, with his own limited power, he couldn’t protect himself.
And if he exposed the true nature of this territory, the world’s willpower would not spare him. Although Skarow’s previous level was low and power inadequate, it didn’t mean his knowledge was poor.
"That’s good, I will stay here for a while, then I’ll leave. Take care of the Lich King’s unseen affairs," Du You said, throwing all responsibilities out felt truly liberating.
With a simple gesture, Du You appointed Skarow as the deputy lord of the City of Death, feeling relieved. Skarow, while grateful, also felt the immense pressure—such a significant role was new to him.
