Calvin had approached all first tier lords, but the alliance's impact was minimal, with only a handful agreeing.

Each first tier lord harbored their own ambitions and goals, and most were reluctant to engage in matters that did not concern them.

Furthermore, the vastness of the magical continent posed the additional challenge of locating each other's fortresses.

Reluctantly, Calvin turned his attention to the second tier lords.

Surprisingly, most of them were willing to form an alliance, but they were primarily concerned with the issue of compensation.

Under Calvin's assurances, he managed to gather enough lords, albeit without forming an extensive alliance.

For the resources of a single undead lord were clearly insufficient to cater to so many.

Before long, Calvin obtained crucial information regarding Bayou from one of the second tier lords.

This lord, who chose not to join the alliance, sold the information to Calvin for 20,000 magic crystals.

Upon receiving the news, Calvin realized just how naive he had been.

This undead lord was far more formidable than they had anticipated.

As Calvin continued to prepare to contact allies, he shared the intelligence with his other four companions.

As the leader of the alliance, Calvin convened in his castle where the four towns united with the last town remaining in its original location as a precautionary escape route.

The five soon assembled, one from the east and four from the west.

Calvin spoke first, delivering the vital news.

I crab yellow fort.

There are three king level lords rather than just one with over 10,000 troops and more than 100 commanders.

What the four were taken back, their astonishment palpable.

The strength of such a force was utterly terrifying, surpassing that of several alliances combined.

Where did you acquire this information? Is it accurate? Mizas was the first to inquire.

Clearly taken aback by the staggering revelation.

I procured it from second tier lord, Calvin replied.

He has not only encountered the undead lord, but also knows its location, though he refuses to divulge it.

I suspect his fortress is not far from the undead lord.

At this point, Calvin expressed his regret as he had nearly uncovered the location of Bayou's fortress.

He had even proposed an alliance with the second tier lord to jointly eliminate the undead lord.

But his offer was declined.

Calvin, feeling disheartened, resigned himself to the situation to mount an effective offensive against Bayou.

It was crucial to have a lord nearby.

This would allow them to exploit alliance rules, enabling all lords to teleport to a town and then return to the alliance.

Thus, a member of the alliance could be transported via the transit portal.

The challenge lies in the fact that among billions of lords, where could one possibly find a lord nearby you? At this moment, Galvin received a private message.

21 none.

I have the location of the undead lord and can collaborate with you, but my castle has not been upgraded to a town, so I cannot teleport.

Trump, what level is your castle now? 21 none.

Level three, damn it.

Galvin cursed under his breath and promptly blocked Blonder.

What happened? The others inquired, puzzled.

A fraud, claiming to know the whereabouts of the undead lord, asking me to assist in upgrading his castle.

Galvin deemed this lord to be treating him as a fool.

This was not a charity organization.

At this stage, how could any lord's castle still be at level three? Even deceivers would not present such an unreasonable excuse.

Blonder attempted to message Galvin again, but it showed ascending failure, leaving him bewildered, unsure of where he had aired.

His castle was indeed level three.

In Pter State, a vast abyss pierced the earth, desolate and devoid of life.

This abyss known as the endless abyss housed a black castle of imposing stature at its deepest point.

Among the first tier of lords, one stood out as unaffiliated.

The lord known as instant enlightenment, a sinister youth named Duong.

The castle gates were wide open and Du Yong sat on the throne facing the entrance, casually crossing his legs while observing the world chat.

Undead, a harbinger of misfortune, ha, he scoffed.

If the undead were deemed ominous, did that not imply that his own troops would be universally condemned? Yet, Du Yang was aware of Galvin's efforts to rally lords against Bayou, as he had been invited, only to be disregarded.

Duyang.

These first tier lords resembled mere clowns, frogs in a well, forever unable to rise to prominence.

This undead lord might prove to be a formidable opponent in the future.

Although she appeared to be somewhat troublesome at present.

Perhaps he would extend a helping hand.

Duang entered a message in the friend search interface and reached out to Bayou.

Instant enlightenment.

This group of lords is forming an alliance to attack you.

One king level is insufficient.

Join forces with me and I shall assist you in dealing with them.

Crab yellow fort six.

Encountering someone attempting to reap spoils in such a manner for the first time.

Du young.

He felt insulted.

He merely disdained the actions of those lords.

It was mistakenly perceived as coveting their spoils.

Wait, he had not explicitly stated his intentions.

Never mind.

He wouldn't he blame her.

Bayou was currently gathering the undead within her castle.

Although she was unclear about the precise intentions of these lords, their behaviors suggested they were coming to deliver something to her.

Bus revealed strength consisted of only one king level unit.

Unaware that she actually possessed four, she believed she could easily handle this group of lords.

Bayou was oblivious to the fact that her information had already been disclosed to those lords.

Instant enlightenment.

I seek no spoils.

I offer my assistance freely.

Crab burger.

Is there really such a brainless individual? No.

Is there truly such a good person? The chat lacks a recall function and Bayou accidentally let slip a remark.

Du Yong.

Du Yang sent an alliance invitation to Bayou, but she vanished completely, failing to respond.

Du Yong couldn't shake the feeling that this undead lord possessed a peculiar thought process.

How had such a leader developed in a such a formidable presence? Nevertheless, Du Yang still sent a message.

Instant Buddha.

I will immediately provide support upon agreeing to the alliance.

I repeat, it's free.

Duong closed the world chat with his strength.

He had no need for allies.

He simply wished to prevent such a promising leader from being eliminated by that ragtag group.

After all, such an outcome would diminish the excitement of the multi-racial competition.

Indifferent.

You will guard the portal as soon as it lights up.

Notify me immediately.

Chapter 182.

The true top lord.

It was the first time Bayou encountered someone offering assistance without charge.

Having already notified others, she learned that Xiao Yianu was gathering the dwarves.

With nothing pressing at the moment, Bayou decided to investigate the identity of this individual.
