Chapter 1391: Chapter 1391

Out of caution, Du You did not continue to send people into the desert but instead directly ordered a prohibition against entering its depths.

At the same time, Du You even slowed down the tree-planting efforts deep in the desert, focusing on reinforcing the periphery. The natural barrier had essentially spread to some key mountain pass intersections and then came to a halt.

On the other hand, Du You had drawn up an absolute force and launched an attack on the Dark Empire.

The Dark Empire had made a move against him before, so they better be prepared for annihilation. This time, Du You deployed more than thirty sixth-tier soldiers, having already revealed quite a few during the previous battles anyway.

Then, a large number of Demonic Flame Skeletons followed by lower-tier soldiers joined the assault.

"Spare no mercy for those who have been transformed; eliminate them all. If anyone dares to obstruct, do not leave them alive."

Du You took a completely different approach in dealing with the Dark Empire compared to the past. When attacking the Divine Flame Empire before, Du You tried to avoid civilian casualties and primarily targeted soldiers, mercenaries, and nobles.

But the Dark Empire was different. The Dark Empire was full of Cyborgs; once transformed, their nature would undoubtedly change. These creatures could no longer be called human.

Du You had no intention of including them in his system, mainly because the consequences of cyborg transformation were extremely severe. If you follow the technological path, reaching the sixth tier still offers a chance to change and further enhance through other paths, but there’s no such opportunity with the transformation path.

The profession of self-transformation had a moment of popularity on Earth. However, later, people discovered the severe damage to one’s potential; some who were heavily modified couldn’t even break through to the fourth tier.

Thus, no one pursues this path anymore; it’s a dead end.

Moreover, which normal human being would willingly abandon their humanity to become an ugly monster?

With the army’s invasion, and because Du You had destroyed many sixth-tier soldiers and gained numerous benefits, he wasn’t concerned about looting those few. Du You brought out newly acquired blueprints to start construction at the rear.

After all, so many sixth-tier soldiers had died, and even if they only provided Du You with materials, the reward chests from completing tasks ultimately contained valuable items. One of these sixth-tier blueprints was now under construction.

Underground Devil Palace (Tier 6):

Dark Shadow Demon, Level 53: 200 per month, full price 1000 Crystal Coins per individual

Transformed Magical Beast, Level 57: 100 per month, full price 2500 Crystal Coins each

Resentful Spirit Aggregation, Level 56: 120 per month, full price 1700 Crystal Coins each

A few days later, Du You saw the newly constructed building. Although the building’s troops included three sixth-tier units, indicating high quality, Du You still frowned.

"As expected, due to the nature of the monsters we massacred and the characteristics of this world, the buildings we acquire are related to these monsters. It seems we’ll have to produce some monsters of our own."

As Du You spoke, he simultaneously had the Underground Devil Palace begin production. Even the sixth-tier units were produced on the same day. Seeing these troops, not only Du You furrowed his brows, but so did the others.

"They really do look awful, and their aura is so disorderly, not much better than those monsters," Lin Yushi commented disdainfully on the new troops.

"They’ll do for combat. Let’s produce them in smaller numbers; we won’t need these things in the future anyway."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yucha offered a reminder. These monsters might not look impressive, but they could be quite intimidating on the battlefield. Most importantly, since they disliked them, they wouldn’t be heartbroken over their loss.

The Dark Shadow Demon at least retained a human appearance, with a body blending into the shadows, half-human, half-monster.

They were very fast, had decent assassination capabilities and could fill a role in the intelligence organizations in the future. Their aura was very dim; even Du You wouldn’t notice them unless he paid close attention, probably only when they got very close.

These monsters were incredibly useful either for intelligence gathering or assassination.

Next were the Transformed Magical Beasts, creatures Du You had previously encountered on the battlefield. Their appearance was quite bizarre, completely lacking the typical characteristics of a normal living creature.

In fact, every unit produced in this building was distinct; as more were created, Du You realized these monsters were a random amalgamation.

Some had more legs on one side than the other, moving very awkwardly. Some had heads at the rear, unable to see what was ahead. There were even those with multiple heads but no limbs, only able to wriggle on the ground.

If it weren’t for their undiminished combat strength, reaching the sixth tier with the ability to fly, Du You would have been tempted to destroy them on humanitarian grounds. The last, Resentful Spirit Aggregation, was no better.

Similar to Undead, they were a collection of Resentful Souls contaminated by a special force.

They resembled a large clump of dark clouds in the sky, but for the powerful, their true form was visible. A large group of strangely shaped creature souls was forcibly condensed together, almost like a bunch of clay models pressed tightly into one. Their primary abilities were mental contamination and psychic attacks, which were indeed potent, but their appearance was discomforting.

"Leave them all to Luo Jia to handle. Use those things however you like."

"Also, don’t let them appear in our territory anymore; they’re too unsettling to look at." Lin Yushi added, and after thinking it over, Du You nodded in agreement. Seeing these creatures gave him the creeps.

When Luo Jia received these three types of troops, he immediately used twenty of them against the Dark Empire’s forces. With the appearance of these monsters, all sixth-tier, the Dark Empire utterly collapsed.

As they marched forward, suffering consecutive defeats, the Dark Empire lost vast swathes of land swiftly.

Within his conquered territories, those transformed monsters became the targets everyone wanted to strike down.

Only then did Du You realize that these creatures had been swaggering about within the empire, causing the citizens to harbor deep resentment. Now that Du You demonstrated overwhelming power, they defected without hesitation.

The reception process went smoothly, so much so that Shaliya couldn’t believe it; one could imagine just how poor the Dark Empire’s reputation was domestically. They didn’t even have to search; the transformed monsters were turned in by their families and friends at the first opportunity.
