Once lost, they were gone for good.
As for the ordinary undead, they could be replenished in an instant, rendering concerns about their numbers unnecessary.
As dusk approached, Arthur and Dachi returned to the city of the undead, bearing the spoils from their conquest of the dwarven kingdom.
The resources acquired were so abundant that the warehouses were nearly overflowing, paving the way for yet another upgrade of the city.
Additionally, the undead army had significantly expanded.
When Arthur and Dachi were dispatched, Aman City had only 2,000 undead stationed, but upon their triumphant return, the undead forces had quintupled to a formidable 100,000.
The majority of these were bone dragons and ghost dragons, summoned directly by the two kings without the involvement of necromancers for lower tier summons.
This was partly due to the capture of several dwarves and the decision not to massacre the civilian dwarves.
Otherwise, the undead numbers would have been even greater.
The royal level undead had increased by nearly 15 and 20 royle level dwarves have been captured, all of whom entered into a pact with Xiaoi and Shua, becoming part of her dwarven contingent.
Max led the dwarves into reconstruction of their citystate and the subsequent unification efforts with the new dwarven king naturally ascending to the throne under his leadership.
As for the minor incident of man s escape by you paid at little mind.
What could a level one royal level being stir up? Boss, I've gathered all the highle dwarven artisans and sent them to Aman city.
How should they be managed? Xiaoinua inquired.
her success in the recent conflict yielding considerable gains through her contracts with numerous royal level dwarves.
Though the bulk of the experience had been claimed by the undead, Bayou pondered for a moment, having previously devised a plan.
We shall relocate some skilled craftsmen to the city of the undead, collaborating with goblins and alchemists to develop technology.
Shortly, I will upgrade your town to a city, providing the dwarves with a foundation for industrial growth.
Henceforth, the dwarven kingdom shall focus on the development from Aman city to the Bayan mountain range.
Xiao Inshua has face brightened at his words.
This arrangement would spare her the hassle of constant travel, allowing her to remain in the city of the undead.
No problem, boss.
Bayou access the system interface to commence the upgrade of Xiao town.
The resources required for the transformation into a city were minimal, posing no significant challenge.
Before long, Bayou successfully elevated Xiao Lianua s town into a city.
I will inform Max to bring the artisans over and then inspect the city.
Xiaoa said joyfully.
Go ahead, Bou replied.
The power of the system remains formidable.
The towns nestled among the mountains have been upgraded to fortresses, expanding their territories significantly.
The surrounding mountains have been utterly obliterated, giving rise to an extensive expanse of flat land where a dwarven city complete with two barracks has been established.
During the time Ziao Leian dispatched craftsman by not idol, she began enhancing the city of the undead.
The city commenced its expansion with indistinct black energy manifesting upon the walls.
The palace behind Bayou grew more splendid, enveloped in an eerie azure energy, rendering it increasingly sinister and terrifying.
The city of the undead has reached level seven with only two levels remaining until it attains its maximum capacity.
Bayou then turn her attention to upgrading the barracks, and one must commend the dwarven kingdom for its abundant resources.
They possess everything one might need unlike the impoverished orc and demon ant kingdoms.
Presently barracks are the most formidable.
Bay chose not to assist her siblings or xiao in upgrading their barracks.
Instead, she directly enhanced Jeangz.
His barracks originally at level 16 were elevated to level 20.
A substantial improvement considering Bayu's own barracks are only at level 21.
Rock Dragon crystal LV20 barracks can summon rock dragon unit fixed at one bloodline activation concentration at 40 initial level at LV9 commander level.
This is the information regarding Jeang Yz barracks.
The concentration of bloodline activation signifies the growth rate of the dragon ensuring their development cycle does not extend excessively thereby allowing for a more rapid increase in strength.
It is noteworthy that these dragons are all of Imperial caliber akin to fully mature dragon kind with the sole drawback being their slow growth rate.
Strikingly, Jeanga's barracks differ from those of other lords.
The normal cooldown time for barracks is 24 hours whereas his barracks have a cool down period of 120 hours equating to 5 days.
In other words, he can summon a rock dragon only once every 5 days.
And thus far, the total summon has not exceeded 10.
While dragons possess immense strength, their shortcomings are evident.
Limited numbers and sluggish growth.
Subsequently, Bayou further upgraded her own barracks by five levels, depleting her resources entirely before ceasing her efforts.
The level of the undead barracks has now reached LV26.
The enhanced effects include the cancellation of summons from barracks under the command of the sovereign, meaning that the six major units, skeletons, wraiths, zombies, liches, bone dragons, and ghost dragons will no longer be summoned.
Simultaneously, the initial level has risen to LV3 commander level with the summon count increasing from 50 to 100, amplifying the probability of summoning a sovereign and unlocking a new unit, the pit demon.
Regarding this new unit, Bayou does not exhibit much enthusiasm.
It lacks any particularly striking features, does not belong to the higher echelon of undead, and its potential is comparable to that of death knights and gargoyles, functioning as a groundbased ranged unit.
This encapsulates all the enhancements of the five level barracks.
Interestingly, the introduction page has become more streamlined.
Bayou finds herself perplexed.
As one progresses, should not the unlocked units become increasingly advanced? Why does the system not adhere to the conventional patterns? As the systems notification chimes, night falls once more.
She has completed the management of all resources.
And after concluding her tasks, she shuts down the system interface and returns to the palace.
At this moment, Chunfong and Chan Shuer returned from Twin Cities.
witnessing the devastation outside the city and the heaps of skeletal remains of the deceased.
"What has transpired?" Chinu exclaimed, covering her mouth in astonishment, while Chunfong, without uttering a word, grasped her hand and led her into the palace.
Were they chanced upon Bayou, casually reclining with his legs crossed, a sigh of relief, escaped them? It was a comfort to see Bayou unharmed.
"Boss, what happened outside the city?" Shan Schwe inquired hastily as the sheer number of corpses estimated to be in the tens of thousands was overwhelming.
Nothing much, just received a beating, Bayou replied nonchalantly.
As if it bore no significance to him.
Chun was poised to ask further, but Chinfong held her back and they began to head outside.
Boss, we are off to dine, he announced.
Go ahead, Bayu replied.
Chapter 331.
returning favors the experience bar for the ninth level king resembled an abyss, leaving Bayou oblivious to when he might ascend to the emperor level.
With the dwarf kingdom unified and the orc empire ins snared in a stalemate, it seemed there were no avenues left for expansion.
Bayou was reluctant to take reckless risks by confronting the emperor level of the Orc Empire prematurely.
Whether he could attain that level remained uncertain, and even if he did, it did not guarantee he would be a match.
As the orc king could possess levels far beyond the first at present to continue developing he could either venture north or proceed to the FHA oak state which are the most viable options available.
Bayou assessed his current military strength.
He commanded a total of 70 royal level undead including one at level 8, two at level seven and 10 at level six.
His army of undead exceeded 360,000.
Next were the seven kings.
Arthur, Daki, and Sussy had all reached level five, while the Lich had attained level eight.
The remaining three kings were still at level four.
Among his subjects, the brother and sister duo were level four kings.
Jeang Yi was at level three, and Xiao Yianua was at level two.
Among the dwarven troops, there were over 20 royal level warriors, and when combined, the brother and sister duo contributed four, while Jeang Yi had six raw dragons that had reached the royal level.
This constituted by Yu's entire strength.
At first glance, over 100 royal level warriors seemed an exceedingly formidable force.
However, in the presence of genuine powerhouses, they would prove insignificant.
The city of undead must possess its own emperor level.
Having summoned his troops, Bayou contemplated his next strategic move.
Should he attack the Orc Empire or pursue the same? Ultimately, he opted for an offensive against the Orc Empire.
Rising from the steps, he made his way toward the palace, embracing the notion that fortune favors the bold.
Perhaps he could attain the emperor level before reaching Bone Chewing City.
Crucially, as they were now the minions of the temple and angels, the adversaries would not allow him respit, and thus they too would not find peace.
He instructed Arthur and Dhaki to coordinate with the other four kings to launch an assault on the Orc Empire.
Addressing the Lich beside him, he commanded Chinfong and Chan to lead the undead in purging the minor races to the north of their city.
