Do you know the way? Bayou<unk>s question left in.

She utterly stumped as if she would know.

In she turned hopeful eyes toward Bayou.

I'm from another race.

Guess whether I know or not.

At Bayou's words in she deflated instantly.

Guess we'll have to wait for another time.

Bayou had a rough idea of the Gata Empire's general direction, though the exact distance remained unclear.

More importantly, it was perilous with unknown dangers lurking.

She chose not to elaborate to Inshi, backed by the Mage Association.

The Gata Empire's strength, even excluding its mages, undoubtedly surpassed that of the Dwarf Kingdom and the Goblin Realm.

It would be foolish enough to provoke them needlessly.

The castle's territory had expanded once more, now seamlessly merging with the fringes of the Dark Forest.

Any further growth would inevitably encroach upon its outer reaches.

Yet, despite its vastness, the castle lacked vitality.

Apart from Bayou and Xiao Bing, not a single living soul resided within its walls.

A stark contrast to Xiao Liu's bustling stronghold while Bayu attended to other matters.

In she amused herself by mimicking human behavior, preparing her own breakfast.

Now that she had ample monarchier forces at her disposal, Bayou's first thought was a son Sha Sha, she decided to dispatch a lich to protect them.

Why lich? Because a single undead sorcerer could summon an entire army.

For lords whose forces average commander tier, a monarch tier entity was beyond their wildest dreams.

Rather than contacting Sun Shia Sha directly, Bayou reached out to her cousin Sun Yuba.

If he had any sense, he would recognize the unparalleled advantage a monarch tier guardian would bring to their development.

Unless, of course, he was an imbele who suspected by you of ulterior motives.

Given Sun Yuba's history of infiltrating enemy alliances as a spy, he clearly wasn't the latter.

True to expectations, Sun Yuba was overjoyed at the proposal, immediately expressing his gratitude.

Bayou wasted no words.

As the leader of their three-party alliance, she promptly invited him to join.

After withdrawing from his previous alliance, Sun Yuba swiftly accepted.

Big Wave Girl has joined the alliance.

Instant Buddha.

Upon seeing the names of the other two lords in the alliance, Sun Yuba was aruck into silence.

Just as world chat had claimed, these were top tier lords of demons and fallen angels.

Go there and ensure Sun Shia Sha and her family safety.

Once you arrive, follow her commands.

Bayou instructed the lich beside her.

As you command, my queen, the monarchier lich vanished through the portal.

Within 5 minutes, Sunuba had also left the alliance.

With the Lich's assistance, their safety was no longer Bayou's concern, though powerful beings were numerous.

Monarchier entities were hardly common place across the Fantasia continent.

Next, Bayou handed over the miscellaneous Monarchier equipment from her warehouse to Xiaoa for disposal.

Then came the special structures and peculiar items dropped by the vanquished lords.

Bayou delved into the warehouse, intent on scrutinizing them closely.

The energy fruit, which bestowed a remarkable 1,000 experience points, was indeed a prized possession.

However, the stipulation that it was exclusive to native races raised his eyebrows in perplexity.

How could such a valuable item have remained in used unbeknownst to Bayou? The energy fruit was dropped by a lord of the stone golem unit, which could not consume it.

Furthermore, he had not exchanged materials with allies, leaving it languishing in the warehouse until Bayou fortuitously stumbled upon it.

It seemed that the undead could not partake in this delicacy.

Inci Bayou called out, and Enshi came running, a piece of charred meat dripping with grease in hand.

Here, take this.

What is this? Inshi inquired, leaning in to sniff it, her face contorting in disdain.

It looks utterly inedible.

1,000 experience points, you know.

Huh? 1,00 what? No way.

This fruit contains energy but tastes terrible.

I'm not eating that.

With Ini s rejection, Bayou had no choice but to give the energy fruit to Shiao Bing, who promptly swallowed it whole.

As the 1,000 experience points were absorbed, Shiao Bing leveled up to commander level 7.

Bayou continued to rumage through the warehouse for other items.

A beginner's win magic tome.

What a treasure.

Bayou eagerly spent 100 magic crystals to study it, though it was not recorded.

He would save it for future intermediate opportunities.

Elemental shield quite useless.

Contract statue, no value.

Storm cannon, it requires manual activation, utterly impractical.

Bayou incessantly searched through the warehouse, examining the blueprints for these special structures.

Most were lackluster, lacking flavor, yet too valuable to discard.

Indeed, this collection of lords yielded little of worth.

To be precise, there was nothing of use to Bayou himself.

Although he could not utilize them, he could hand them over to Xiao Lianua, as most special structures would significantly aid her.

Wait, what is this? Bayou spotted several stones emanating blue energy, and immediately check their details.

Reinforcement stones capable of enhancing special structures, elevating their original quality and level.

such items existed.

Bayou quickly gathered all the reinforcement stones totaling 10.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he resolutely decided to enhance the bone throne.

After all, the bone throne directly contributed to combat power far superior to other structures.

The four-w wheeled magic stone pillar would not benefit from it.

Even if its cap was raised, it wouldn't te increased the limit of the four stone gargoyles, which was fixed at the monarch level.

Bayou reinforced the bone throne and successfully upgraded it with resources.

Now the bone throne reached a cap of monarch level, allowing Bayou at king level to enjoy a one five times experience bonus and also the potential to enhance it further.

The remaining items are merely a hodge podge of little use to Bayou as not every defeated lore drops special building blueprints.

Were it not for Bayu's unique barracks, she would have been uncertain about the number of auxiliary barracks she could acquire from this battle.

A pity indeed.

At that moment, a message from Leelings suddenly appeared in the alliance group.

Leeling, I have discovered a group of captured night elves by you.

Would you like them? Your castle is rather desolate.

They would make excellent servants.

Du Yang, I believe I can make use of them.

Leeling, there are also male elves.

Duang Bayou sounds great.

Chapter 221.

Elves in the sea folk.

It is said that all elves are enchanting beauties and Bayou could hardly let such a splendid opportunity slip away.

The elven race comprises numerous varieties, including fire elves, light elves, dark knight elves, forest elves, and storm elves, among others.

The relationships among these races are far from harmonious.

While the Elven Kingdom nearly Lynxy's castle is predominantly inhabited by forest elves who excel in archery and dagger skills, exhibiting remarkable stealth abilities.

In contrast, the Dark Knight elves possess pale skin and slender figures adorned with silvery or platinum hair, and they are adept at wielding dark elements.

Compared to the forest elves, the dark knight elves are significantly more powerful.

It is likely that they were detected by the forest elves and subsequently captured.
