She had initially believed she had achieved resource freedom only to discover that this was merely the beginning.

Bayou felt tears welling up in her eyes.

Bayou, what is the situation with your castle? In she called from behind as she and her siblings approached Bayou along the steps.

It will no longer be a castle.

This is the city of the undead.

Chapter 232.

Goblin News.

A city.

Above the town stood a magnificent city.

Chunfong and Chun gazed in awe at the grandeur before them, utterly unable to discern any trace of the former town.

It was simply astonishing.

In she had begun to envy the extraordinary abilities of these otherworldly beings.

Without lifting a finger, they had conjured an entire city from thin air.

The capabilities of the system were undeniably formidable.

The tremors within the city were gradually subsiding, and it would not be long before they ceased altogether.

The city was adorned with numerous buildings, the purpose of which Bayou could not fathom.

The undead were equally bewildered, staring at the city with expressions of confusion, unable to comprehend the reason for such a transformation.

At last, the town had completely upgraded to a city, the vibrations evaporating into silence.

From the very edge of the dark forest emerged an uncanny black city, seemingly materializing out of nowhere.

The forest, the city, and the earth were all intertwined in a grotesque tapestry of decay and desolation, forming a singular entity.

Congratulations, Lord, on successfully upgrading to a city and unlocking the exclusive building for your troops, the undead fortress.

City exclusive building.

Undead fortress.

Building level none.

Construction quantity none.

Function a comprehensive stronghold integrating offense, defense, and teleportation.

Construction materials 10000 units of wood, 200 0000 units of stone, 5000 0 magical crystals, 100 0 iron ingots, 100 spirit cores.

Note, the undead fortress comprises a main fortress and several subsidiary fortresses.

The main fortress can only be constructed within the city and serves solely the function of teleporting to the subsidiary fortresses.

The main fortress produces a subsidiary fortress crystal core daily, which can absorb the materials needed for construction and be erected in any location.

The construction materials for both are equivalent.

What an extraordinary edifice.

a fortress that could be erected anywhere, seamlessly connecting with the city, henceforth.

Whether attacking dwarves, goblins, or orcs, the undead army would no longer need to toil through arduous journeys.

This system is clearly enticing the lord to engage these native races with the undead fortress.

Even in the absence of the lord as a launching pad, the undead army could still be teleported.

The leap from town to city was indeed monumental.

Bayou glanced at her barren warehouse and then at Chunfong and Chuna supplies.

Though they possessed a few iron ingots, it was far from the required 100,000.

Her hopes of immediately constructing the undead fortress were dashed.

She would need to gather resources for a few more days.

The decision to subjugate the dwarves had proven sagacious.

Yet, now that they had upgraded to a city, the resource demands had surged 10fold.

It seemed the current supplies from the dwarves would soon be insufficient.

Capturing the Firebeard's clan must be expedited.

Let us proceed.

Bayou ascended the steps.

Eager to ascertain any changes within the interior.

Her own chamber due to the presence of special buildings appeared unchanged, but other quarters such as the kitchen, bathroom, and hall had undergone a transformation.

They were no longer as shabby and had become more orderly and spacious.

She mused that she ought to invite a couple of elves from Lee Lings soon, for this place had grown rather vast.

Bayou was still contemplating how Arthur and the Chun siblings had all ascended to the rank of kings and were officially commencing their campaigns.

When it came to selecting targets, the softest fruit was the most desirable, and thus the Goblin Kingdom and the Dwarven Kingdom naturally became the prime candidates.

As for the Orc Empire, wait a moment, the Orc Empire, the dwarven kingdom, empire, kingdom.

What is the relationship between a kingdom and an empire? Undoubtedly, an empire must possess greater strength than a kingdom, which posed a dilemma.

Yet, it seemed contradictory.

Leelings had remarked that elves were superior to orcs, but elves belong to kingdoms.

Perhaps she was referring to their overall strength.

For while elves are indeed kingdoms, the number of their kingdoms remains unknown.

Moreover, the Orc Empire was self-proclaimed, and the human gata empire had not demonstrated particularly formidable power.

In fact, it was the weakest among the factions Bayou had encountered.

Could be due to the mage association.

Bayou found herself perplexed, feeling that empires and kingdoms were fundamentally similar, merely differing in nomenclature.

Before her, the Grand Palace doors opened to reveal a path paved with black tiles, leading directly to the skeletal throne that remained unchanged at its end.

By you sat upon it, gazing outward, appreciating the sensation.

However, in such a vast citadel, the sparse presence of people rendered the atmosphere somewhat desolate.

My lord, the undead have discovered traces of goblins in the south, including an alien woman, reported the night elf, standing respectfully beside Bayou.

Upon hearing this, Bayou felt invigorated.

After searching for so long without success, she was surprised to learn that they had now appeared.

As for the alien, could it be the audacious little sorceress Lord from the world chat? From whence do they come, and where are they headed? Bayou inquired, recalling how the goblins had seemingly vanished after the incident in the snowcapped mountains, no longer troubling Sun Sha Sha and leaving no trace behind.

The undead reported that the goblins had abruptly emerged in the southern black plains, their origins unknown, and were advancing further south.

The Datalara plains had long been thoroughly investigated by the undead.

There were no structures or hiding places to be found.

The sudden appearance of the goblins felt as though they had surfaced from the depths of the earth.

Could they be returning to the goblin kingdom, which lay further south? I amused.

Regardless, following them would be cumbersome.

Since the undead had fortuitously discovered their whereabouts, it was unlikely they would let them slip away.

The principle remained.

If the other party possessed the king, the tracking undead would inevitably be detected.

Even if they were slain, the nearby spirits would discern their position.

by you would receive notification if they were killed whether or not it occurred.

If no kings were present, the situation would be far more manageable.

Have Chin Foam bring two kings to capture them, she commanded.

With so many kings at their disposal, they could afford to be reckless.

A single king could resolve the matter, yet they chose to dispatch two.

Inside the palace, Chunfong was inspecting his subordinate palace, which boasted an environment superior to their own castle.

Soon, the night elf informed him, and he felt it was an opportune moment to venture out and familiarize himself with the surroundings.

Chunfong was unaware of the specific abilities possessed by the specters.

Nonetheless, as they were all of royal caliber, their strengths were likely comparable.

Naturally, he aimed to select two that were particularly striking.

Two colossal figures, one white and the other blue, soared into the sky from the city of the undead, heading swiftly southward.

Indeed, Chen Fong had chosen a royal bone dragon and a royal phantom dragon.

No man could resist the allure of such a magnificent bone dragon.

For those creatures that could already fly, ascending to royal status significantly enhanced their aerial prowess.

Consequently, the flying speed of the royal bone dragon was extraordinary.

As Chinfong perched upon the dragon's back, he observed the desolate and shadowy landscape rushing past him on either side.

Chapter 233.

captured duo on the expansive Terala plane.

A seemingly opulent caravan, though rather shabby, made its way southward.

At the forefront, several riders mounted on creatures resembling oversized flies soared through the sky, clearing the path ahead.
