Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 362

Chapter 362: Holy Court’s split
The main reason for the Holy Court’s split was unclear, but there were at least two guesses at the moment.

One was internal disagreement, and the other was the intervention of the Mage Guild. Obviously, these two pieces of news were released by the Angel race and the human race respectively.

After more than a month, the Holy Court, which had split up, had now completely separated into two forces.

The one on the human side was called the [Holy Church], which had become an organization that existed in the form of religion. Even Xiao Hui could see that this was to change the faith of the knights at the bottom and indirectly weaken the Angel race.

The other side still used the name of the Holy Court. Although it also existed in the form of religion, the god they had faith in was the Goddess of Light.

The supreme ruler of the Holy Church was the Holy Pope, a mysterious Sovereign level powerhouse.

The ruler of the Holy Court was the Knight Champion, also of Sovereign level. They didn’t have a Pope, so it was obvious that the real power behind them was the angels.

After talking about the changes in forces, the next thing was their distribution of forces.

Apart from its headquarters, the original Holy Court had ten branches in the seven continents.

One of them was in the Arsen continent and was still under the Holy Court, fighting openly and covertly with Yellowrock City.

There were two in the Eldoria continent, which had now been divided into two. Knight City in the south belonged to the Holy Court, while Holy Church City in the north (renamed from Knight City) belonged to the Holy Church.

“So, the Knight City in the south of the hobgoblin kingdom is now under the Holy Church?”

Xiao Hui had never seen a map of the Eldoria continent, but based on the undead’s exploration, she knew the situation around the Starfallen Empire in the south.

She had a hunch that the Undead Empire and the Beastman Empire were now completely blocked in the north by the human race.

If they wanted to go south, unless they relied on the undead fortress, it would be impossible to cross the human race’s territory.

“This is all very strange. Logically speaking, shouldn’t a force that has a disagreement fight first and then try to annex the other party? But the Holy Court and the Holy Church are acting so peacefully.”

Sophie was a little puzzled. She didn’t know enough about the relationship between these external forces.

“It has nothing to do with us for now, but we still need to pay more attention to it. It will be troublesome if they want to expand to the north of the continent. Is there any other useful information?”

“Not at the moment, but I heard that the Beastman Empire seems to have paid some price and is easing relations with the human race. I’m afraid they will soon free up their hands to deal with the Arctic Tigerfolk kingdom.”

Speaking of this, both of their faces were filled with worry.

“Sigh, what’s coming will come.”

After breakfast, Xiao Hui stood up and walked out of the hall with Sophie.

“Let’s hurry up and continue to study the fusion of the undead. This is one of the few ways we can become stronger besides gaining experience points.”

“Okay.”

Sophie nodded. She stayed in the Undead Imperial Capital with Xiao Hui, so she knew the current development of undead technology best.

Now, the development of the undead was about to reach a bottleneck. If they didn’t make any major improvements, the situation would be the same as Satan and Lilith’s.

The Undead Empire was located in the Eldoria continent. If they wanted the empire to develop better, their primary goal was naturally to unify the north. But standing in front of them was the Beastman Empire.

The current situation was that the Undead Empire and the Beastman Empire divided the north of the Eldoria continent equally. The development of the undead in the Eldoria continent had come to a standstill.

The situation in the Arsen continent was chaotic. The four forces were all caught in a whirlpool.

Although the Featherfolk had been taken down, the three-way battle between the giants, elves, and humans made the undead afraid to intervene rashly.

The undead only dared to sneakily farm experience points behind the elves. Now, the forces in the Arsen continent were basically divided into three parts: the undead, the elves and giants led by the Holy Court, and the humans led by the Mage Guild.

The development of the two continents could be said to have completely reached a bottleneck. Only the Mossvale continent, where Drake was currently located, could still develop smoothly.

Satan also wanted to develop in the Mossvale continent, but when he went there, he found that the weaker forces around had been wiped out, because most of the undead’s main force was invested here.

With the dragon race’s promise, the undead could expand freely in the Mossvale continent. These sub-dragon races basically posed no threat. As long as they didn’t alarm those powerful sub-dragons, it wouldn’t matter.

Therefore, the Mossvale continent had become Alex’s main source of experience points.

Of course, Xiao Hui and Sophie didn’t know the specific situation of the other continents. They believed that some continents were not places where the undead could set foot at present.

“Why don’t we go to the Valoria continent to develop?”

Sophie suggested.

“Demons are no weaker than dragons, right? The Valoria continent doesn’t have the promise of demons. It’s too difficult to develop there. Besides, don’t forget that the King Ghoul is still in the Valoria continent.”

Xiao Hui’s words startled her.

That’s right, even if they went to the Valoria continent, they might attract the King Ghoul before they attracted the demons.

“Sigh, what should we do?”

===

Time flew by, and another month passed quickly. It had been more than two months since Alex entered the cave to practice magic.

The forces of the various races in the Eldoria continent hadn’t changed much. They were still the same as before, and even calmer than before. It was like a calm lake, but all it took was a stone to stir it up again.

Lilith and Satan had also established their own kingdoms.

After a brief period of losing contact with Alex, everyone in the Undead Imperial Capital had gradually adapted to the current state, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

During this time, everyone had also changed a lot. Except for Sophie, the other three had all broken through to the King level.

Drake and Xiao Mu had established the Dragon Kingdom and the Gemini Kingdom respectively. Now, these two kingdoms both belonged to the Undead Empire.

At present, Alex had three vassal kingdoms. A very strong power of faith had gathered at the crystal above the palace.

Everyone knew that as long as Alex returned, she could use this power of faith to quickly level up.

In addition, the six Race Kings had also broken through to the King level. Torin had been guarding the periphery of the Dark Forest during this time. It was with his guidance that the six Race Kings were able to break through to the King level so quickly.

At present, except for Sophie, all the other leaders had reached the King level.

Their current levels were: Drake level 5 King, Xiao Mu level 4 King, Xiao Hui level 2 King, Sophie level 9 Monarch.

As for the six Race Kings, their strengths were similar. They were all about to break through from the early stage of the King level to the mid stage of the King level.

However, the reason why the levels of Xiao Hui and others were different was partly because of their troops and partly because of their responsibilities.

In terms of talent, the three of them were actually similar.

It was just that Xiao Hui, as the acting Lord, rarely killed enemies, so she was left behind. Drake and Xiao Mu, on the other hand, were combatants, so they gained more experience points.

This was the current development of the Undead Empire. The development in the Eldoria continent had completely stagnated. There were only two major factions left in the north, the Beastman Empire and the Undead Empire.

Of course, the Undead Empire was still hidden in the dark, and no one knew about it.

The same was true for the Arsen continent. The giants and elves had ceased fire with the humans. They had lost.

In the end, the Holy Court came forward and stopped the Mage Guild from killing them all. The current distribution of forces was: the human race was the largest, the Holy Court was the second, and the undead were the smallest.

As for the Mossvale continent, apart from the dragon race, the largest force, there were branches of some major races, such as the Holy Court and the angels. Apart from that, the Dragon Kingdom was the largest force.

It was worth mentioning that, apart from Drake, who still had a little room for development, the entire Undead Empire was about to fall into a state of stagnation.

Except for Drake, who was still in Dragon City, even Xiao Mu had returned to the Undead Imperial Capital and began to deal with the Beastman Empire.

Ruby was under a lot of pressure. The Beastman Empire was pressing forward step by step, and they were almost on the verge of war.

Inside the main hall of the Undead Imperial Capital.

“Death Spirit, what is Torin’s attitude?”

Xiao Hui urgently needed to know his attitude. This was one of their biggest trump cards at the moment.

“I’ve told him about the current situation. Facing the Beastman Empire, which might start a war at any time, he didn’t hesitate. I think we can completely trust him now.”

The Death Spirit conveyed Torin’s meaning, and at the same time, it was also telling Xiao Hui that they had been observing Torin for long enough. If Alex didn’t come back, they couldn’t keep him hanging outside the Dark Forest.

“I understand. He has indeed helped us a lot during this time. He has also proved his determination and loyalty. I think we can bring him into the city. What do you think?”

Xiao Hui asked everyone, but she was actually only asking for Drake and Sophie’s opinions.

“No problem.”

Both of them nodded in agreement. As for Xiao Mu, as Xiao Hui’s brother, he naturally supported Xiao Hui unconditionally.

“Then please invite him into the city. As for the matter of submission, we’ll wait for Alex to come back.”
