Chapter 1808: Chapter 1808

The kobold priest, or in other words, this is an elemental ritualist. This too was something Du You’s doppelganger researched after reaching the seventh tier and gaining more authority in this world.

The reason he did not allow them to cultivate previously was because Du You didn’t have a method to control the ritualists. But now it’s different, as Du You has developed a method of control and has set to controlling these kobold priests as well.

The stronger they cultivate, the more intensely they are controlled, and they are controlled both through bloodline and soul.

These priests are also different from traditional priests because they use elemental power.

They do not worship ancestors, nor divine spirits, and there’s no need for them to worship any hodgepodge of things. Du You directly instructed them to worship the elements and gain power from them, while he, as the god of the kobolds, governs the elements.

Du You also discovered that within the beastman clans, although there are many magic-class divine spirits, there was not a single elemental divine spirit.

He conveniently fills this gap, which is also a very good thing.

The kobold priest emerged, waving their totems and banners, releasing spell after spell.

Under the blessing of light magic, the strength and speed of all the forces ahead increased, and they gained an additional layer of defense. Then flames burst forth. The eyes of these kobolds and jackal men turned red, but their power swelled even more.

A black light settled on the city, and many wild wolves felt an increasing dread in their hearts, with some starting to flee. A blue light descended, spreading a chilly aura, causing many wild wolves to feel their joints stiffen. Some of those less powerful even showed signs of frostbite, which were very evident.

"Damn, how can the kobolds’ magic be this strong? Don’t they rarely have ritualists?"

"This is the power of the divine spirit. We wild wolves also clearly have divine spirits, so why have we never possessed such power?" Indeed, the emergence of divine spirits is also a reason for the increase in the number of priests within one’s tribe.

Naturally, obtaining power through divine spirit worship is more direct and widespread compared to worshipping itself.

However, what they did not realize was that these kobolds were clearly not as they imagined.

Before the sides could make contact, what they first encountered was the enemy’s attack. Ranged assaults, with various siege crossbows and catapults from behind launching an attack. The glow on the crossbows and the glow on the stones hurled by the catapults all confirmed these were no ordinary stones. The power on them was not so simple.

If it were otherwise, wouldn’t it be easier to have powerful individuals hurl the stones themselves? These enchanted ordinary stones could indeed pose a certain threat to tier five powerhouses.

Yet without a tier six powerhouse to hold the fort, the defensive barrier of the city walls couldn’t withstand it.

With just one wave of attack, the barrier shattered, and the city wall collapsed under the powerful assault. Countless wild wolf soldiers were crushed into pulpy masses amidst their screams, right from the start of the battle it was on completely different levels.

The wild wolf leader’s heart sank upon witnessing this. The city wall he had painstakingly established was gone just like that.

He originally wanted to display his strength, but didn’t expect that the enemy didn’t take him seriously at all. In the hands of the enemies, he was as fragile as a doll. This level of power is even more formidable than that of the jackal men at the time.

"No, surrender! Quickly raise the white flag; we surrender now."

The wild wolf leader was completely panicked seeing the rapidly approaching army. With the barrier of the city wall gone, they were even less of a match for these forces, ensuring they couldn’t come into contact with them.

The result was, when the enthusiastic army drew closer, they found the wild wolves had already surrendered.

This left the jackal men very displeased, but the kobolds didn’t mind, as their temperaments were completely different.

Such events did not just occur in this place; in fact, throughout the Great Rift Valley and all the nearby territories that originally belonged to the jackal men, and even in some farther regions, similar occurrences were happening.

Although the jackal man leader was a seventh tier, due to being an earth god, he couldn’t widely expand his dominion. But Du You was different. As the only seventh tier divine spirit in the vicinity, how could he let this place slip by?

Thus, his land expansion naturally began to spread. Surrounding tribes successively surrendered, while some stubborn ones were either driven away or eradicated on the spot. Du You would not allow them to exist within his territory.

This is his foundational territory. It must be completely integrated.

From the onset of the war to its conclusion, the entire process did not take much time, as it was mostly spent on travel. After a month, a vast range falls under Du You’s domain. The entire territory transitioned from originally densely populous to now sparse in population. Indeed, there is just too much desolated land here.

Du You didn’t mind at all, directly allowing the kobolds and other tribes to cultivate and farm the land here. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩

Furthermore, Du You established cities across various places, secretly constructing functional buildings. On one hand, this solved the issue of food, while on the other, Du You also continually produced more of various tribes.

Indeed, as Du You had expected, even though his race varieties were already quite numerous, the stipulation mandated that kobolds constituted at least seventy percent, as dictated by rigid territorial law.

Though the territory is very convenient, these regulations are equally strict, and can’t be violated.

During this process, the news of a second kobold divine spirit’s emergence also arose. Although people from the outside didn’t know how this second kobold divine spirit came about, the fact was plainly visible.

The emergence of a second being with seventh-tier combat power thoroughly stabilized the kobold territory. Moreover, increasingly kobolds flooded into this area, hoping to join their tribe.

Once everything settled down, Du You directly announced the establishment of the Kobold United Empire. That’s right because this was a united empire, though kobolds were the main body, Du You welcomed any race.

Gradually, due to this style, many tribes around began to let down their guard towards the kobolds.

Yet the news here kept rapidly spreading outward, as everyone wanted to see to what extent a group of low-class kobolds could develop. This place was still very desolate, unable to connect with major forces for the time being. Someday, if the kobolds developed to the point of interaction with them, then conflict would be inevitable.

Yet, with developments reaching this point, Du You’s second plan is ready to unfold. Upon success, his plan to sweep through the world can commence.
