However, at this stage, the likelihood of her finding a lord was quite slim.

Having been forced to focus her efforts towards the north, she had little means to seek out a lord for Leelings.

At best, she would suggest that Lee Lings utilized the alliance function herself.

Nonetheless, there was a potential avenue of opportunity with Jeang Yi.

Although Bayou was hesitant to bring him into the open for now, Zang Yi could serve as a mobile lord.

The great wilderness mountains were exceedingly impoverished, and Bayu did not intend to leave him there indefinitely.

As evening fell, the sunless Marshall province had grown dim, resembling the night.

Sass returned from the portal to the city of the undead.

accompanied by a throng of undead who were transporting substantial supplies.

H Bayou exclaimed with delight, for it appeared that Sass and his companions had vanquished another orc tribe.

Esteemed Queen, we have eradicated two orc tribes.

One of the southern tribes was notably powerful.

Yet, their leader was absent, allowing us to eliminate them with ease.

Subsequently, Lonnie obtained a piece of information from the other tribe.

Sass reported respectfully.

After SAS finished his report, Lonnie immediately interjected, "Your Majesty, these Orc leaders received a summon from the Orc Empire.

The tribe we attacked is situated in a remote location, and they only just received the news.

Thus, they have not had the opportunity to evacuate.

While he was momentarily taken back after listening to the report from the two kings, she gleaned some information, realizing that the simultaneous assault on the two work tribes had yielded certain advantages.

However, this also meant that the movements of SARS and his companions have been exposed, raising concerns about a potential backlash from the entire Orc Empire, which could lead to significant complications.

Bayou was not well-versed in the governance of the Orc Empire, but earlier that morning, Lee Lingsy had mentioned similar occurrences within the Elven Kingdom.

What a coincidence.

The gathering of the Elven Kings and the summoning of the Orc tribe leaders.

Could there be a connection between the two? Furthermore, Leel Lingsy had mentioned that the knights of the temple in Hapuni province have been quite active recently.

Could this also be linked to the unfolding events? Chapter 301 merging and promoting the city never mind.

There is no need to dwell on it for now.

After all, that is a matter for the happening state.

And what concern is it of mine in Marshall State? The optimistic Bayou quickly reassured herself, realizing that managing resources was the most pressing task at hand.

Among the two tribes, there lay a total of 14 royal corpses with a slightly stronger tribe lacking its leader, boasting an impressive nine royal entities.

Had it not been for Bayou, it is likely that any other lord would have found themselves at a disadvantage.

Despite the abundance of royal corpses, only one stood at the peak, a level six royal, while four royal undead had perished in the heat of battle.

Alas, SAS could not resurrect them, and there was no necessity to revive the ordinary ones either.

Saza's resurrection skill not only consumed mana, but also induced a brief period of weakness, making it quite troublesome.

At the same time, Looney successfully advanced to level two, while SAS reached level three.

The other royals remained unchanged in their levels.

The ranks of the undead swelled by an additional 30,000, bringing the total close to 200,000.

Bayou eagerly anticipated the day they would march forth once more.

Having realized that discovery was now inevitable, she resolved to launch an offensive against the Orc Empire.

Bayou had previously refrained from upgrading the towns of her siblings, treating them as a fallback.

However, upon reflection, she felt it unjust to those undead who addressed her as queen.

If they were to engage in battle, there could be no retreat.

Did the undead fear death? Conquering these orc tribes would yield abundant resources.

Only by growing stronger could one adhere to the eternal truth of invincibility.

As darkness enveloped the sky by you stood upon the palace steps, gazing resolutely at the four royals below.

Looney, Jack, John, you three led by SAS shall commence a full-scale assault on the orc empire from this day forth.

Her melodious voice resonated beyond the palace, prompting the four royals to kneel, bowing their heads in reverence.

We shall obey the royal command.

Bayou turned and ascended back into the palace.

While the four royals rose to return to the emerald hills, Xiao Yshua, after this week, regardless of the progress of the dwarven kingdom, you are to forge contracts with those formidable dwarves to expedite your level advancement.

Although you're responsible for logistics, I will only allow you to fall one major level below me.

I do not wish to witness a second occurrence of Sun Xiao Xiao situation.

Upon entering the palace by you suddenly addressed, Xiao Leiana, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Yes, esteemed one, I will certainly strive to do so.

Chunua, standing nearby, gazed expectantly at Bayou, hoping to receive a goal for herself.

But Bayou remained silent.

Currently, it appeared that the progress of his siblings was commendable, surpassing that of most lords.

Bayou's expectations were modest.

As long as they did not lag behind the six royals, that would suffice.

As for their potential limits, Bayou was uncertain.

Not every lord could ascend directly to the rank of emperor, let alone reach the divine realm.

Nevertheless, Bayou was determined to find ways to assist them in their advancement.

After all, humans are social creatures, and within the vast city of the undead, the absence of a few living beings would surely weigh on by Yu's psyche over time.

At present, there are only three developmental routes.

The dwarven kingdom has been entrusted to Xiao Yianuer and the second prince, while the Orc Empire is under the supervision of the fourth prince.

You two need not feel overly burdened.

Simply follow my lead as we advance in Marshall State.

Bayou suddenly turned back with a serious expression and spoke.

"What about the dragon lord?" Chun asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.

"I haven't he quite figured that out yet," Bayou replied, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

In truth, Bayou had some ideas, but they remained unclear at the moment, so he refrained from voicing them.

He then casually found a chair to sit in, opened the system panel, and noted that the resources collected from the two war tribes were considerable, though still somewhat insufficient for his own necropolis.

However, they would be more than adequate for the fortresses of the brother and sister duo.

After all, the resources required for upgrading towns to cities were minimal.

Yet, the proximity of the two towns posed a dilemma.

Regardless of whose town was upgraded first, the other would inevitably be destroyed by the expansion of a newly promoted city.

"Boss, let us upgrade my brother S.

My town is of little use anyway.

I might as well enjoy the comfort of the palace," Chinu suggested, sensing Bayu's intent to upgrade a city.

"No, let us upgrade Shinu.

After all, she possesses dark attributes, so her town or city would likely contain relevant elements.

While its impact on the undead is uncertain, it certainly wouldn't have any adverse effects.

Chunfong interrupted, proposing his suggestion to Bayou.

Bayou had not considered this perspective, and Chunfong s served as a timely reminder.

Upgrading Chonfangs castle could potentially introduce light elements, which would undoubtedly affect the undead.

Even Shun found Chunfangs reasoning compelling and had no grounds to refute it.

Accordingly, Bayou proceeded to upgrade Chunua as town, as only by promoting the city could functionalities like teleportation and territorial expansion be fully realized, making it more suitable for the undead in their conquests.

It wasn't until Bayou upgraded Chinua's town to level 9 that upon attempting another upgrade.

The system displayed a notification.

Upgrading Foam Woo Goton to a city will destroy Long Tong Wanley Town.

Do you wish to proceed with the upgrade? Note two adjacent subordinate towns can merge into a single city upon both reaching maximum level.

Surprised not only Chinua and Chunfong but even Bayu paused as it was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

It seemed they need not sacrifice one of the towns.

Bayou remarked with a smile yet he suspected that upgrading both towns would require a significant resource investment.

He had reason to believe that the city formed from the two towns would be magnificent.

at least far grander than an ordinary level one city.

By you click cancel on the system screen and began upgrading Shanfangs town.

Soon both towns were upgraded to their maximum levels consuming a substantial portion of the resources in the warehouse.

Shall we merge the two towns into a city? By you clicked yes and as the system prompt faded away, it signified that the two towns had merged and ascended into a city.

However, the three of them were currently in the city of the undead.

Unable to witness the birth of this new city.
