Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 188

Chapter 188: The experience farm of the Race Kings
Sophie felt deeply encouraged and resolved not to disappoint Alex’s expectations.

While Alex was resting, she was still contemplating the construction and development of the city. Through observation, she realized that the resources consumed to upgrade from a town to a city were not much, but the resources required for further upgrades after reaching city level would skyrocket.

If conditions allowed, Alex even considered upgrading one of Sophie’s or the Xiao siblings’ castles to city level.

However, for now, the priority was Alex’s own castle. After all, only by strengthening herself could she ensure the strength of everyone else.

[Blood Moon in the sky, darkness descends.]

The night sky cleared once again, and the black undead city seemed to blend into the darkness, with only the eerie red moonlight casting a faint outline of the city.

Tonight’s dinner was prepared for only two, as Xiao Mu and Xiao Hui had already left the city to head towards the hobgoblin kingdom.

Ruby was devouring her food at the dining table, not forgetting to wipe her mouth and let out a satisfied burp.

“Alex, I’m leaving,” Ruby suddenly said. She had been out playing long enough.

“Tonight?”

“Yes,” Ruby nodded.

“My primal power can continuously support my cultivation to King level without any pressure. Even though I don’t need to sleep now, I still need to focus on my training. Only by becoming stronger can I return to the far north and settle the score with those bastards.”

Although Ruby was playful, she hadn’t forgotten her race’s hatred. She still needed to lead her people back to their homeland and reclaim what was once theirs.

“I don’t care much about those things, but they were left by my mother, so I must do it.”

Ruby’s eyes became resolute. Only she knew the hardships she had endured. To protect her, her people had willingly sacrificed themselves, leaving only a few hundred survivors.

“If you encounter any difficulties, don’t hesitate to ask for my help. I’ll always be here, and you can come to play whenever you have time.”

“Thank you. I’ve had a lot of fun these past few days.”

Ruby stood up and walked towards the outside.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come back. We haven’t gone to the human city together yet.”

“Alright, I’m leaving.”

Ruby turned back, showing Alex her small fangs. Alex didn’t know the strength of the Arctic Tigerfolk, and she hadn’t asked Ruby, but she believed Ruby could do it.

“Be careful, don’t be impulsive, and don’t do anything foolish.”

Alex gave one last piece of advice.

“I know, I know, you’re so naggy.”

Ruby waved at Alex and disappeared.

This time, who knew when they would meet again.

Alex turned and walked deeper into the palace.

She needed to become stronger quickly. She didn’t know what the system would come up with when the leaderboard refreshed next week.

The Dark Alchemy Warlocks in the city had created some interesting gadgets, like containers that could release potent plague magic, various auxiliary potions, and some metal constructs.

These things weren’t very useful for the undead, and nothing had particularly impressed Alex yet.

It was probably because their levels were too low. Maybe things would improve as they leveled up.

Weapons, equipment, and potions couldn’t be used by Xiao Mu because of his light attribute, but others could use them.

The metal constructs were still limited due to immature technology.

The useless potions were regularly stored and handed over to the dwarves by Sophie for use or research.

Alex didn’t know what would come from the fusion of dwarf technology and alchemy technology.

Currently, there were too few dwarves under her control. Alex planned to bring all the dwarf inventors to the Undead City once she fully controlled the dwarf kingdom.

To become a powerful empire, she needed not only strong military power but also various talents.

With only Alex and the dark elves left in the palace, she returned to her bedroom and went to bed early.

[Night retreats, dawn arrives.]

Alex woke up on time. The sudden appearance of the Undead City seemed to have caused some impact on the outskirts of the Dark Forest. She might have already attracted the attention of the deeper parts of the Dark Forest.

Alex’s next plan was to build the Undead City into a kingdom. To achieve this, the Dark Forest had to become her backyard, just like the Frostwind snowy mountain. This was a problem she needed to solve.

She couldn’t afford to let anyone pose a threat in her backyard.

All the Lords and dangers around the Undead City had been cleared by Alex, leaving only the Dark Forest as a problem.

Meanwhile, in the Emerald Hills, the orcs launched another attack, their battle lust fueled by a desire for revenge.

Previous orc attacks on Xiao Mu and Xiao Hui’s castle had failed, but they had managed to retreat without being wiped out. However, the last attack was different; thousands of orcs had died, enraging the orc camp leaders.

Two orc camps sent their armies, but before reaching the siblings’ castle, they encountered each other and began fighting.

Afterward, the camp leaders learned that their warriors had been killed by extraterrestrial visitors, prompting them to stop fighting and unite to eliminate the visitors before settling their own scores.

They believed the visitors had suffered heavy losses and had few troops left, making a large-scale attack unnecessary.

Each camp leader sent a pseudo-Monarch level leader and 2,000 orc warriors, totaling 4,000 orcs, to attack the siblings’ castle.

This time, they intended to wipe out the two hated extraterrestrial visitors.

The Light Phoenix and Dark Jiao had been moved to the Undead City and sent to the Dark Forest.

Now, the siblings’ castle was defended by six undead.

A Monarch-level necromancer and lich, along with four Race Kings.

The undead’s plan was simple: the two Monarch levels would defend the castle while the four Race Kings attacked the orc army.

If the Race Kings couldn’t hold, the necromancer and lich would summon an undead army to eliminate the orcs.

To prevent any orcs from escaping and reporting back, none could be allowed to flee.

The orcs, facing undead for the first time, wouldn’t be prepared. They didn’t know the undead couldn’t be killed, allowing the Race Kings to farm experience without worry.

Soon, the 4,000-strong orc army from two camps gathered at the castle, puzzled by the empty fortress.

Only a few strange creatures stood before the castle.

Had they fled?

The leading orcs couldn’t return empty-handed. They exchanged glances, raised their weapons, and shouted to their warriors.

“Destroy the castle, for the glory of the orcs!”
