Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Silverbeard Clan
The first to return was the highest-level necromancer, currently at lv6 Commanding level. Alex tasked it with leading the team to the continent of Arsen.

Arthur was not suitable; his size was too large to pass through the portal. John was also unsuitable; unable to fly, he couldn’t maximize his combat effectiveness in the mountainous terrain.

The necromancers were the best choice. Not only could they fly, but they were also intelligent and strong, ranking as T1 level within Alex’s undead army.

Besides them, Alex also summoned two Ethereal Wraiths and two gargoyles, making a total of five Commanding level beings, which she felt was more than sufficient.

Watching the growing number of undead gathering outside, Sophie couldn’t help but ask, “Big Shot, what are you planning?”

“They’re going to develop on your side; it’s much safer than here.”

Soon, Alex had gathered five hundred specters and gargoyles, in addition to ten more necromancers, besides the five Commanding level beings. She felt this should be enough and had already planned out her strategy.

The land forces summoned by the necromancers would return to Hamburger, while the air forces would remain on the continent of Arsen.

“Once you’re on the continent of Arsen, follow the necromancer’s commands. If there’s any intelligence, the specters will contact me. Alright, move out.”

Alex organized the tasks for the undead in front of her, and they all headed towards the Portal of Transit.

On the continent of Arsen, the primary objective of the undead was to use Sophie’s castle as a base to spread out and start gathering intelligence. Whether it was other Lords or local forces, they were all targets.

On the outer edges of the White Rock Mountains, there was a mine belonging to the dwarf Silverbeard Clan.

A Lord named Gordon, born here, was thrilled by the rich environment and resources, unaware that he was already under the dwarves’ surveillance.

Gordon’s troops consisted of robust wild boars, larger and darker than ordinary ones, with much greater stamina and strength.

The leader of the dwarf Silverbeard Clan took an interest in Gordon’s troops and personally came forward to recruit him.

Gordon could continuously provide mounts for his clan, allowing him to build an invincible cavalry.

Even the materials for upgrading Gordon’s castle and barracks, including handling the beast tide, were all taken care of by the leader of the Silverbeard Clan.

Gordon had little choice but to comply, at least it made his life more comfortable. Even if he didn’t surrender, the dwarves could easily imprison him.

Lords like Gordon who allied with local forces were not uncommon. Lords received rewards for killing local forces, and vice versa, local forces also benefited from killing extraterrestrial visitors.

But in the face of these interests, they could restrain their inner urge to kill, showing they were intelligent races, understanding how to maximize their benefits.

Although the terrain of the White Rock Mountains was rugged, it was insignificant in front of flying undead like gargoyles and specters, and it wouldn’t be long before they were discovered.

On the continent of Eldoria, at the lava volcano.

Cain was worried about the return of the lava dragon, and the next, he saw a huge figure flying in the sky.

It was the lava dragon!

At that moment, the lava dragon was furious, with many injuries on its body, appearing as if it had been in a fight and returned wounded.

Fire dragons are naturally temperamental, and now, injured, it was even more irritable. Previously, because Cain had newbie protection, the calm lava dragon had ignored him.

But now, things were different. Cain had lost his newbie protection, and the enraged lava dragon could easily annihilate him!

Cain didn’t dare to gamble. Earl had already sent him an invitation, and without hesitation, Cain clicked confirm.

As Cain’s castle began to shake and magical runes started to cover it, Cain grew nervous.

The flying lava dragon also noticed the vibrations coming from Cain’s castle in the distance.

Teleportation magic, this human wants to run?

The lava dragon opened its mouth, and a fiery red energy began to gather.

Roar!

A devastating column of molten lava fire shot towards Cain’s castle at high speed.

Cain’s heart was in his throat, confirming that the lava dragon had indeed attacked him.

The scorching temperature carried immense energy, and Cain faced death head-on for the first time.

Just as the dragon’s breath was about to strike Cain’s castle, the teleportation matrix completed, and Cain’s castle vanished from sight.

Boom!

A massive explosion sounded, and the volcano where Cain’s castle had been was flattened by the lava dragon’s breath of dragon, with lava flowing out from both sides.

The lava dragon, realizing it hadn’t hit the human, didn’t care and flew back to its nest.

It was like a human trying to step on an ant, which luckily escapes into a cave; it simply didn’t matter.

Meanwhile, on the Barren Plains, an elite human scouting team from the Starfallen Empire was heading towards the Frostwind snowy mountain.

This elite imperial scouting team consisted of twelve people, all at Commanding level, clad in armor and riding warhorses, speeding across the Barren Plains.

They were investigating the annihilation of a village within their territory, suspecting it was destroyed by beasts from the Frostwind snowy mountain, but they needed to confirm the situation.

Although Lucian’s castle was located at the junction of the Frostwind snowy mountain and the Barren Plains, deeper into the Barren Plains, several Lords had gathered again, belonging to the Elemental Alliance.

Cain’s castle suddenly appearing here also caught the attention of the other allies, and the obsidian and flowing lava on the castle indicated that this newly arrived Lord was [Flame Spirit].

At this moment, Cain’s lv1 town had fallen to a lv8 castle, but he wasn’t concerned about that. He was still somewhat shaken by the power of the lava dragon, which had shown him that the volcano was no place for a weakling like him.

Fortunately, Cain had been cautious and was grateful that he could relocate through the Alliance, otherwise he would have been dead by now.

The trio, Earl, Samson, and Ivy, had thought that [Wind Fury] Lord would be the first to move here, but it turned out Cain was even quicker.

The three came together in front of Cain’s castle, welcoming this new ally.

“Welcome, Big Shot, to joining us!”

Samson and Ivy said happily, while Earl stood by, smiling.

Cain, influenced by their enthusiasm, also smiled, feeling for the first time that forming an Alliance might indeed be a good choice.
