He must have gone to inspect the situation after the conquest of the dwarven stronghold in Hapuni province.
Chun Fong nonchalantly savoring his breakfast remarked, "I suppose an assault on the goblin kingdom could be expected tomorrow or the day after.
" As time progressed to noon after nearly 6 hours of extensive flight and several undead finally arrived at Eid City.
Had it not been for the royal level flight speed, Bayou would likely have reached her destination by the afternoon.
Upon landing within each city, Max and Gray promptly emerged to greet her.
While the dwarven guard within the city had long been subdued by the dwarven army that Gray had brought along, Max was well aware that news of each city's fall had surely reached the Firebeard clan, and he promptly informed the other two clans besieging the Firebeards.
Soon, the Firebeard clan would find themselves in dire straits.
Unable to sustain themselves without logistical support, Bayou first summoned the corpse of Stir.
for as a necromancer.
He proved to be of great assistance to her.
Following this, under Max's guidance, Bayou proceeded to the city supply warehouse.
Upon entering the warehouse, she was astounded by the site before her.
The room was filled with an abundance of equipment materials along with countless iron ingots, magic crystals, and spirit cores yet to be forged into equipment.
There were also stones polished for the purpose of repairing the city walls.
The wealth of a single Firebeard clan was unimaginable.
One could only wonder what the other clans possessed.
This was merely one warehouse, and Max subsequently led by you to another.
This warehouse contained heavy weaponry.
It was not completely filled, and a thick layer of dust coated the cannons at the rear, indicating they had likely been moved to the front lines.
Piles of ammunition were stacked on the other side.
By you pride, open a wooden crate for inspection.
Aside from the massive spherical shells, she discovered a unique type of ammunition.
Ice element charging crystals, fire element charging crystals, Bayou examined a long slender crystal, sensing the profound elemental energy within.
My lady, these are ammunition for the charging cannons.
They can be inserted into the weapon s and allowing the cannon to absorb the elemental energy and unleash a powerful attack.
Max explained as he observed Bayu's intrigue.
By you turned to see the cannon Max had mentioned, which indeed appeared far superior to ordinary artillery.
These charging crystals were not consumables.
They could be reused for repeated charging.
Additionally, there were several sets of crafted armor and weapons, including firearms.
What is this? Before Bayou stood a hexahedron adorned with magical inscriptions housing numerous spirit cores, presumably serving as its energy source.
My lord, this is the energy core of the city as protective barrier.
It should be a backup, he explained.
Subsequently, Bayou encountered a variety of peculiar items, all of which Max elucidated, granting her insight into the technological prowess of the Firebeard clan.
Realizing there was little of utility for herself, Bayu generously entrusted the items to Max for allocation.
aimed at reinforcing their own strength.
Max, overjoyed, recognized that with these resources, aside from a lack of top tier combat power, they need not fear the Firebeard clan any longer, for these countless items would undoubtedly pose a significant challenge to their adversaries.
Moreover, there existed a third repository, considerably smaller than the previous two, designated solely for the storage of food.
The entire warehouse was filled with air dried meats and an array of vegetables preserved through magical means.
Although Bayou yearned to take some of these vegetables, she remained mindful of her mission's objective.
It would be imprudent to allow provisions to occupy space in her ring.
After a cursory glance, she departed, leaving the food from Max's dwarven army.
"My lord, there's also a section for storing books.
Would you care to take a look?" Max prompted while Gray appeared puzzled, questioning the purpose of reading.
In an instant, by us, eyes lit up.
Let's proceed.
Upon entering, she began to peruse the toms, discovering not mere dwarven history, but genuine treatises on technology and knowledge.
The texts encompass the dwarves techniques for crafting various weapons and armor, methods of enchantment, and the amalgamation of science and magic, including the taming of beasts and the weaving of garments.
This repository nearly encapsulated the entirety of the Firebeard clan civilization, leading by you to surmise that other clans might possess similar resources, albeit possibly along divergent paths.
Equipped with these texts, even an ordinary dwarven craftsman could ascend to the heights of a master artisan, explaining why the clan was so adamant about keeping such knowledge under their control.
It seemed nearly impossible for the common folk to mount a successful rebellion without external support.
A tome on teleportation caught by USI.
It felt like divine providence.
However, upon inspection, she found the book to be incomplete, detailing a technology akin to that of the teleportation circle in Aman City, which could only accommodate one individual at a time, a utility that held little value for her.
No matter, I shall take it back for further examination to see if it can be perfected.
She stowed the book in her spatial ring and exited.
As for the books, along with the equipment and provisions, Bayou commanded Max and the others to transport everything back to Aman City, which would henceforth be their primary stronghold.
Bayou and her undead companions began to collect the warehouses resources, and soon her ring was brimming with supplies.
The necromancers and liches employed skeletal magic to encase boxes of goods and bone, facilitating transport for the other undead.
Before departing, Max shared with Bayou the current situation of the Firebeard clan and inquired about her forthcoming plans.
Max realized that the girl from the human race before him was the true mastermind behind the scenes.
He pondered the extent of the undead forces she commanded, now likely far more formidable than before.
In this encounter, Max sensed that Bayou had grown even stronger than he remembered.
The undead accompanying her were all at the kingly level.
Remarkably, merely a few days had passed, yet the potential of the other races was indeed terrifying.
It was no wonder that all species harbored animosity toward them.
Do not inquire of me.
Pursue what you deem right.
I shall provide my support without interference.
It seemed that the Hushu clan would soon face annihilation.
By you and the undead, laden with these essential resources, departed towards the south.
Chapter 244.
The fortress of the undead.
When Bayu returned to the city, it was already dusk.
She had accomplished nothing during her journey, wasting nearly an entire day in transit.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she realized that the absence of a teleportation array was indeed a considerable inconvenience.
Upon entering the territory of Xiao Liua's castle, Bayou utilized the systems one-click recovery feature to transfer the gathered resources into the warehouse.
At last, she could commence the construction of the fortress of the undead.
Upon entering the palace, she discovered that Shunfong and Chunu were also present.
Initially, she thought they had been waiting for her, but in fact, they were merely there for dinner.
Boss, how did it go? Chun inquired eagerly as Bayou walked in.
Everything went smoothly, Bayou replied with a smile.
Bayou then soared to the apex of the palace, her gaze sweeping over the entirety of the undead city.
Although there were a few houses and facilities outside the palace, they were scarce.
In truth, the city was far too expansive for Bayou at this moment.
The outer regions near the city walls, while inhabited by undead, were mostly barren, presenting a desolate landscape.
Aside from the central palace, which resembled an external fortress, the remainder of the area was still in an unacceptable state.
In the undead city, the dead outnumbered the living, rendering it more akin to a city of the deceased.
The amassed resources were indeed a considerable fortune.
Construct with a click, Bayou initiated the building process.
But to her astonishment, the vacant land before her remained unresponsive.
Turning around, she realized that the construction was taking place behind the palace.
At that moment, Chunfong and Chun, having heard the commotion, approached her side to gaze at the rear of the palace.
Before their eyes, hundreds of spirit cores floated in the air, and massive white bones began to emerge from the ground, assembling like building blocks.
Gradually, they formed a colossal circular structure.
Its outer walls towering impressively, reaching twothirds the height of Bayou's palace.
The exterior was unnervingly white, and a skull-shaped gate faced Bayou with a gigantic skull above it emanating dark mist that descended to obscure the ground below.
The structure was circular with a flat top resembling an immense flattened cylinder.
Bayou detected no remarkable features.
Without hesitation, she leaped down, determined to explore the interior, with her siblings following closely, their faces alike with curiosity.
