Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 356

Chapter 356: The Race Kings of the previous Undead Lord
It wasn’t until this moment that Alex realized the two desiccated corpses beside her weren’t actually dead, but in a state of disguise. As they awakened, their current levels were revealed.

King level necromancers!

Seeing that they weren’t race Kings, Alex breathed a sigh of relief and released her aura.

“Open your eyes and look at me!”

Alex shouted angrily, and a wave of pressure from a king directly pressed down on the two necromancers.

Feeling this power, the pupils of the two necromancers shrank, and they immediately knelt down.

This pressure was even stronger than their king’s!

At this moment, Alex’s identity was self-evident.

“Respected Undead Queen!”

The two necromancers prostrated themselves on the ground, and Alex turned to look at them.

“Are you subordinates of the previous Undead Lord?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. After the fall of the Undead Empire, we followed Leader(King) Torin and hid here. A while ago, he sensed the establishment of the new Undead Empire and has already left.”

The two necromancers said respectfully. They were somewhat delighted to see the Queen here, but they were also worried about whether the departed Torin had encountered any danger.

Torin hadn’t met the new Undead Lord, so where had their leader gone?

“Torin? Is he the Race King of your necromancers?”

Alex was slightly surprised. As expected, this Emperor level undead was indeed a Race King.

However, Alex didn’t think this level was high, but rather a little low.

Logically speaking, the previous Undead Lord had been dead for hundreds of years. With the Race King’s Divine level cap, he should have reached the Sovereign level by now. How could he only be at Emperor level?

“Yes, Your Majesty. Leader Torin is one of the seven Race Kings. After the defeat of the previous Undead Empire, we were all hunted down. According to our intelligence, only Torin and Zarvox escaped the purge, but Torin was seriously injured and had been hiding in Cliffside Mountain to heal.”

The two necromancers explained to Alex and told her all their information.

It was only then that she realized that there were actually two Race Kings, Necromancer and Ghoul, still alive.

Torin, the Necromancer Race King, was seriously injured by angels while leading his subordinates to escape. Unable to leave the Eldoria continent, he had to hide in Cliffside Mountain.

In the end, only twenty-four King level necromancers followed him and escaped. Torin was injured, and his level dropped from mid-level Emperor to low-level Emperor, and his strength was greatly reduced. It was not until he sensed the establishment of the new Undead Empire that he finally risked leaving Cliffside Mountain and dragged his seriously injured body to the north of the Eldoria continent.

These old Race Kings could sense the specific location of the Undead Empire after its establishment, as if guided by some unknown force.

These two necromancers were also left here after Torin left. As for what they were specifically guarding, Torin didn’t say.

But Alex guessed that these two necromancers might be used as cannon fodder, sacrificing themselves to attract the attention of the Angel race.

As for other information, they knew very little.

However, one thing was certain: Torin was on Alex’s side. The addition of an Emperor level existence would directly bring a qualitative leap to the overall strength of the Undead Empire.

“Although Torin was injured, several hundred years have passed. Why hasn’t his level reached the Sovereign level?”

After listening to their story, Alex asked the question that had been puzzling her.

“Your Majesty, we don’t know, but Leader Torin once said that their potential to become gods depends on the Undead Lord. After the fall of the previous Undead Lord, the levels of the other Race Kings were not much different, all at the Emperor level.”

The two necromancers had limited information and could only recall what Torin had said as much as possible.

After hearing this, Alex had a guess: after the death of the Undead Lord, these Race Kings lost the potential to become gods. In other words, their upper limit might have fallen to Emperor level.

As for why they hadn’t reached the Sovereign level, Alex thought about it and understood. Without the help of the Undead Lord, the growth rate of these undead would be much slower. Even a dragon’s growth cycle took five hundred years, so it was already very good for those Race Kings to reach Emperor level after hundreds of years.

Moreover, judging from the information obtained from these two necromancers, the previous Undead Lord’s Undead Empire seemed to be very different from her Undead Empire.

Why did the previous Undead Lord only have seven Race Kings? This number was obviously less than the number of Race Kings Alex had.

It seemed that she could only find out more specific information after seeing Torin.

“I heard that the previous Undead Lord was originally a human?”

Alex asked tentatively, not sure if the necromancers in front of her knew the specific information.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Our former emperor and the seven Race Kings were all originally humans, and only later transformed into undead.”

This news was not a secret among the undead, or even among some major factions.

Alex was taken aback. The Race Kings of the previous Undead Lord were not obtained through summoning?

Instantly, Alex thought of the Death Angel, which was transformed from her. Could it be that the situation of the seven Race Kings was the same as Xiao Hui’s?

There was a slight difference between transformed undead and naturally summoned undead: they retained all their memories, including their race, relatives, friends, and so on.

In other words, the undead bloodline Alex currently possessed couldn’t completely suppress the transformed undead and make them absolutely loyal. Not all the Undead Race Kings currently in existence were 100% loyal to Alex. Some of them might only be loyal to the previous Undead Lord.

Alex had to be wary of this. After all, these Race Kings were all at least Emperor level, and she was no match for them at the moment.

The most important piece of information was that the previous Undead Lord was not killed in the Undead Empire. At that time, the Undead Empire was still intact. Maybe some old members got the news in advance, and they immediately left the Undead Empire and escaped after the death of the previous Undead Lord!

It was very likely that there were other Race Kings besides Torin and Zarvox, and all the Undead Race Kings could sense the location of the Undead Empire. Maybe they were all rushing towards the north of the Eldoria continent!

Thinking of this, Alex felt a sense of urgency. What if those former Race Kings had malicious intentions?

“Where is the fake tomb of the Undead Lord?” Alex looked at the two necromancers and asked.

The two necromancers were taken aback. It turned out that the Undead Queen had come to Cliffside Mountain for this matter.

“Your Majesty, the fake tomb is under this magic circle, but we need to destroy the foundation of the formation, which risks being discovered by angels. I don’t recommend taking the risk.”
