And the same applied to the zombie titan.

Ah, how could she forget? In her preoccupation with upgrading, Bayou nearly overlooked inquiring why the grim reaper guards were capable of leveling up.

They were summoned by her.

And astonishingly, even before the emergence of the racial monarchs, they could upgrade.

This was indeed peculiar.

Could be due to the unique nature of the troop types.

Nonetheless, this was a fortuitous circumstance.

Perhaps this eighth level royal grim reaper guard would be the first among the undead to ascend to the Imperial rank.

Before this, the level eight death guard could be regarded as the paramount force within Bayou's faction.

However, the situation has changed.

Bayou has also ascended to level 8 and will soon elevate to the emperor level.

No longer will she endure the sorrow of being at the commander level where encountering a king- level adversary was an arduous challenge.

This time it is certain that she will not encounter any other emperor level beings before her ascension.

As long as she remains in the necropolis and develops steadily.

She will be assured of her promotion to emperor once she conquers the dwarven kingdom and the orc empire.

With a thought, the level eight death guard materialized before her.

Esteemed Queen, I am at your service.

By you pondered, why can you, whom I summoned, continued upgrade? Your king has yet to be born.

She did not expect the death guard to possess any knowledge on the matter, but asked out of curiosity.

To her surprise, it indeed had some insight in response to the esteemed queen.

The death guards have no king.

Our sole monarch is you alone.

Wait, why you seem to understand? In other words, am I your king? Indeed, esteemed queen.

If that is the case, it makes sense.

The death guards do not have a king and follow Bayou alone.

Thus, the death guard summoned by Bayou can certainly level up.

Furthermore, if their king were to perish or vanish, the death guards would also dissipate, only to be reawakened upon the emergence of a new king.

The previous lord of the undead serves as an excellent example.

However, the death guards had reformed after their dissolution.

Thus, they possess no memory of the former king.

To them, Bayou is their first and eternal monarch.

Understanding dawned upon her.

Bayou waved her hand, dispelling her earlier confusion and allowed the death guard to depart.

However, the death guard statement served as a reminder that not all undead races have a king.

Some do not have a sovereign at all.

The first that came to Bayou's mind was the zombie titan.

as a symbol of light and the divine.

Upon death, it was transformed into an undead entity, retaining some of its former abilities.

It was not originally an undead race.

So, it is only natural that it lacks a king.

As for the bone dragon, although it was a mighty dragon in life, the bone dragon after death differs from the zombie titan, it has completely shed its former powers, qualifying it as a true undead race.

Rather than being a dragon, the bone dragon could be more accurately described as a skeletal beast.

At least that is how Bayou currently analyzed it.

She was uncertain about other races.

After all, even undead monarchs without their own troops could summon entities, suggesting the potential existence of other unique sovereigns.

However, the undead bears had yet to reach maximum level, and it was entirely possible that other new troop types could be unlocked.

Boss, where are we headed today? Chunway approached just as Bayu dismissed the Death Guard.

There's no rush.

I have dispatched the undead to cleanse those smaller races in the north and provided them with a teleportation stone.

They will return to notify us at the appropriate moment.

The teleportation stone is intended to be positioned at the destination, not merely to facilitate the return of the undead.

In this manner, Bayou could utilize the other half of the teleportation stone in her possession to directly transport herself, thereby enabling the construction of the undead fortress.

Is that so? Then it implies freedom of movement.

Chunwa, realizing there were no tasks at hand, felt a sense of relief and dashed towards the dining hall, whereupon she spotted Chinfong and immediately called out, "Chunfong.

" After breakfast, let's venture to Twin Cities.

Chapter 320.

A shift in dynamics.

Total war.

After finishing their breakfast, Chunfong and Chunwa proceeded to the Orc Empire.

Twin Cities being their stronghold always evoked an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Compared to observing the dwarves engage in their brutal skirmishes, which only added to their psychological burden, they found it far more agreeable to confront the orcs.

In Shenue's perspective, the dwarves could still be regarded as human, whereas the orcs were nothing more than monsters.

Above twin cities hovered two colossal armored sentinels.

Standing still like silent guardians, while within the city, five kings, including Sussy, had gathered.

Within a 100 miles, no or tribes remained, including the three tribes that had once occupied the area where the Emerald Hills met the White Rock Mountains.

They had long since been eradicated.

To continue their campaign against the Orc Empire, they would need to venture southward.

Upon locating Sussy, Chonu and Shunfong discovered that an orc priest was being interrogated, having been tormented to the brink of death.

Ultimately, a necromancer took control of the priest's body.

After a moment, the orc priest slowly raised his head.

His once green eyes now avoid of blackness, his form enveloped in a sinister dark mist.

The orc chieftains would return in 3 days.

The orc empire was undergoing a dramatic transformation and all tribes were set to converge upon bone chu city.

The necromancer possessing the orc priest emitted a raspy and indistinct voice.

You have labored well.

The black mist surrounding the orc priest writhed as the necromancer emerged.

Aware that possessing an enemy would continuously drain its magical energy.

Sussy then turned to Chinfong and Chonu stating, "You have arrived just in time.

Please relay the information regarding the orc empire to her majesty the queen.

" Sussy recognized their unique means of communication, which would be far swifter than the necromancer's possession of the corpse before reporting to Bayou.

Naturally, the siblings had overheard the recent intelligence and immediately transmitted this information to Bayou.

The reasons behind the Orc Empire's shift in governance and subsequent merging remained unclear.

The Orc priest was merely an envoy dispatched by the royal city to convey orders and his knowledge was limited.

Wait, these chieftains will return to their respective tribes for migration in 3 days.

This indicates that the objective of gathering these chieftains has been achieved and is highly probable that we have been discovered.

Chunfong suddenly remarked, "The assembly of all chieftains would undoubtedly lead to the revelation of the slain orc leaders, allowing them to ascertain the location of the enemy stronghold.

Why couldn't it be that other orc tribes annihilated them?" Shinwe queried, "For they were the first to engage with the orcs and possessed a certain understanding of their customs and hierarchy.

However, if those tribal leaders had indeed been vanquished by rival tribes, they would openly acknowledge it.

For the orcs, such a defeat would be a mark of honor, and the royal family would bear no resentment towards them.

It was evident they were not foolish enough to deny their own actions if questioned by the royalty.

"Your reasoning is sound," Sussy concurred with Chinfo.

"We must enhance our vigilance.

" At that moment, a tremendous noise erupted, prompting everyone to turn their gaze upward.

They beheld several massive boulders hurtling toward twin cities like falling stars.

Striking against the transparent barrier and creating rippling waves.

Enemy attack.

The scales surrounding the skies colossal creature began to undulate.

Six enormous tentacles extending from either side while its body radiated an eerie purple luminescence.

The immense form akin to an airship stirred and soared towards the outskirts of the city.

The siblings alongside the five kings ascended the walls of Twin City, beholding the scene before them.
