Chapter 206

"If you were to convert Undead of the same realm as us, you could only convert at most five per day!"

"If they are below the Silver Realm, like these wolf beasts of this level, I can convert at most five thousand per day, without considering the energy consumption!"

"As for the upper limit of Undead I can convert and summon, the sum of the two is at most one million! In other words, at my current Silver Realm, I can control at most one million Undead!"

"Among these one million Undead, there can be at most one hundred beings of the same level as me; the realms of the other Undead must be lower than my own!"

"If their realm is higher than mine, then there can be at most ten!"

The Undead Monarch pondered for a moment and said, "As my strength grows, various upper limits will also be increased!"

"As for the issue of dispatching and obeying orders!"

"I can indeed hand over the Undead marks of the Undead I have converted and summoned to others, or to you, Lord, allowing you to command and dispatch them. However, one point must be guaranteed: your strength must be higher than these Undead, and you must have a certain ability to command!"

"Otherwise, these subordinate Undead will easily enter a state of being out of control!"

The Undead Monarch added.

"Now there is an important task for you to complete!"

For instance, the mount of Death Knight Wang Yi is an Undead Flame Demon Beast!

But this submission has a major flaw: once the Goblins discover that the Goblin King is not dead and was deceived by Maikai, a rebellion will inevitably occur.

After all, according to Tuoboer, the Goblin King did not break through to the Silver Realm through his own strength, but rather with the help of a large amount of external force.

Moreover, the Undead Monarch's King's Legion bond also happens to boost exactly one million Undead!

Qin Luo nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

But with the Undead Monarch, Qin Luo believed that he would definitely be able to defeat the Goblin King.

Qin Luo looked at the Undead Monarch and described the situation in the Underground World.

Or perhaps, they could be given to more powerful Undead as mounts to form a heavy cavalry unit!

Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about the upper limit, let alone the issue of losing control.

"Alright, I understand!"

One million Undead—this is a truly massive number.

The swarms of Undead Nether Dark Wolves have the ability to fight independently and are an army in themselves.

Previously, Qin Luo only had a batch of Bronze Realm Undead under his command; wanting to defeat the Goblin King with them would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Although he eventually broke through to the Silver Realm, he also left behind serious sequelae.

To successfully capture the Goblin City, besides facing a Goblin army with powerful technological weapons, the biggest challenge is the Goblin King, who is in the Silver Realm.

For example, after the Nether Dark Wolf is converted, it becomes an Undead Nether Dark Wolf, possessing the abilities of the Undead Race as well as the bloodthirstiness of the wolf race.

There are hundreds of thousands of Goblins in the Underground World. Although with Maikai's help, the Undead Army has already occupied more than half of the territory and made many Goblin soldiers and miners submit to Qin Luo's command.

And to avoid a Goblin mutiny, Maikai's "lie" must be turned into fact, and the Goblin City must be thoroughly captured!

The number of Undead troops currently under Qin Luo's command is only fifty thousand.

Furthermore, the Undead Monarch is not a unique existence; more Undead Monarchs can be recruited in the future!

With the existence of the Undead Monarch, not only can the number of Undead be increased rapidly, but the diversity of Undead troop types can also be expanded.

And the Undead Monarch is a bona fide Silver Realm existence. At the same time, he is a Transcendental-tier combat unit, much more powerful than ordinary troop types. Not only his four-dimensional basic attributes, but also his skills and specialties surpass those of Rare or Elite troop types of the same tier!

Just like just now, the Undead Monarch only needed to make a slight move to wipe out thousands of Nether Dark Wolves without feeling any pressure at all.

If he were to go all out, it is hard to imagine just how terrifying the Undead Monarch's strength would be!

"A Silver Realm Goblin?"

"On this expedition, I will definitely flatten the Goblin Kingdom and bring back the head of the enemy!"

The Undead Monarch Jun Yi said.

"Fine, hurry to the Underground World to provide support!"

"Several hours have already passed tonight!"

"According to Wang Yi's speed, most of the territory except for the Goblin City should have been recovered!"

"The final decisive battle is about to break out!"

Qin Luo said to Jun Yi, "Additionally, I confer upon you the title of Commander-in-Chief of the First Army Group. You will temporarily command the First to Fifth Undead Legions. At the same time, as the highest combat commander, you may mobilize all Undead participating in the Underground World operation and possess the highest command authority!"

After giving the instructions, Qin Luo conferred the position upon the Undead Monarch Jun Yi.

Originally, Qin Luo intended for Jun Yi to directly replace Death Knight Wang Yi as the commander of the First Undead Legion.

But if that happened, Wang Yi's position would inevitably change, which would be equivalent to a demotion.

Wang Yi was one of the first Undead recruited by Qin Luo. Although he started low, he relied on his own fighting and struggle along the way, repeatedly making contributions, to reach his current strength and status. Removing him from his position as legion commander without him committing any principled errors would indeed be somewhat unjustifiable.

Even if removed from his post by Qin Luo, Wang Yi would never have any complaints and would remain one hundred percent loyal to Qin Luo.

Most importantly, Wang Yi has been responsible for the conquest of the Underground World all along and can be considered an extremely important backbone.

Doing so would be unjustifiable in any case.

However, as a Silver Realm Transcendental troop, the Undead Monarch Wang Yi is far stronger than Death Knight Wang Yi, so he naturally cannot be subordinate to Wang Yi.

The previous Undead Giant Beasts were fine; firstly, their realm was similar to Wang Yi's, both being Bronze Realm, and secondly, they were more like powerful individual combat units. Thirdly, Death Knight Wang Yi could actively activate the Undead Dark Array, while the Undead Giant Beasts could not serve as the core to activate the array.

The Undead Dark Array can play a huge role in war, so this is why Qin Luo chose some powerful Undead evolved from Skeleton Soldiers to serve as legion commanders in several of his legions.

Based on various considerations, Qin Luo finally decided to retain the current Undead establishment and positions.

On this basis, he would form an Army Group headquarters, with Jun Yi serving as the Army Group Commander, overseeing multiple combat legions. In addition to the First to Fifth Undead Legions, the Undead summoned and converted by the Undead Monarch could also form legion establishments when they reach a certain scale, making them more convenient to govern and manage.

Additionally, by having the Undead Monarch Jun Yi serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the First Army Group and incorporating the fifty-thousand-strong Undead army under his command, the Undead would be able to enjoy the boosts from the Undead Monarch's skills and bonds!

After the Undead Monarch finished speaking, he led the thousands of Undead under his command toward the north.

"With the addition of the Undead Monarch, capturing the Goblin City should be a sure thing!"

Qin Luo's hanging heart finally settled, and he stretched very relaxedly.

Even for Qin Luo himself, having such a powerful Silver Realm Undead troop so quickly is remarkable.

Indeed, human potential is infinite; sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you don't know where your limits are.

This also proves once again that the two most important points for territory development are the territory level and the barracks tier!

Qin Luo opened the territory panel to check the upgrade conditions for the territory.

The current territory level is Bronze One-Star, and to upgrade to Bronze Two-Star, it requires 100 Territory Cores, 100 Bronze-tier Magic Crystals, 1,000 Black Iron-tier Magic Crystals, 10,000 Ordinary-tier Magic Crystals, 10,000 Energy Points, 10,000 units of food, 10,000 units of wood, 10,000 units of stone, 10,000 units of Red Iron, and 10,000 units of Bronze!

Qin Luo has already collected most of the upgrade materials.

The only thing lacking is Bronze-tier Magic Crystals!

However, as the strength of his Undead army grows stronger, especially with the Silver Realm Undead Monarch, he will be able to easily kill some enemies or monster beasts that were previously difficult to deal with, and the difficulty of obtaining Bronze-tier Magic Crystals will become lower and lower.

After capturing the Underground World, he will be able to expand the territory's sphere of influence again and wipe out powerful forces in the surrounding area.

Moreover, the benefits of increasing the territory level, besides expanding the territory range and enhancing territory attributes, also include making Qin Luo's own strength stronger.

After all, the lord's realm is consistent with the territory.

Previously, Qin Luo felt that his Bronze One-Star strength was already very strong, but compared to the Silver Realm Undead Monarch, it was far too inferior.

If the Undead Monarch were to attack Qin Luo with all his might, Qin Luo would be killed in at most three moves.

If Qin Luo did not have powerful life-saving means, he would likely be finished off in one strike.

"The Undead Monarch is heading to the Underground World; it should still take a while!"

"Taking advantage of this time, let's first look at the harvest from resisting the Dark Offensive!"

Qin Luo flipped through the system rewards.

【Ding, congratulations on resisting three waves of the 'Nether Dark Wolf' offensive. You have obtained 50,000 Energy Points, 10 Bronze-tier Magic Crystals, 11 Bronze-tier equipment, 80 Black Iron-tier equipment, 3 skill books, and 10 Bronze-tier treasure chests. Affected by the Scarlet Moon rules, the kill rewards are doubled, and you have obtained extra...】

The three waves of the Dark Offensive tonight were wiped out together by the Undead Monarch, so the system rewards were merged.

Just in terms of energy points, there were one hundred thousand!

Although Qin Luo's current net worth has reached millions, one hundred thousand energy points is still not a low number.

You must know that one hundred thousand energy points could recruit forty thousand Undead Skeleton Soldiers, equivalent to 0.4 of a legion!

Moreover, besides Qin Luo, among the billions of lords, there are probably not many who can possess more than forty thousand troops at the current stage.

Even for ordinary lords, upgrading to a third or fourth-tier barracks in just a few short days, they do not have that many recruitment slots.

Unless there are some lords who possess special talents or abilities such as unrestricted troop recruitment or doubled quantities, it is possible to obtain more than forty thousand combat troops.

20 Bronze-tier Magic Crystals! (After doubling)

Much less than imagined!

After all, there were eleven Bronze Realm Nether Dark Wolves killed tonight, and the stronger and higher-realm the Nether Dark Wolf, the more magic crystals it can drop after being killed, not just one.

But considering that those Nether Dark Wolves were all converted into Undead by the Undead Monarch, perhaps it is precisely because of this that the final number of magic crystals obtained was a bit less.

"Twenty Bronze-tier Magic Crystals is not a small amount!"

"If such a harvest comes five more times, that will be one hundred Bronze-tier Magic Crystals!"

"Indeed, the process from zero to one is always the hardest!"

"After accumulating the first batch of one hundred Bronze-tier Magic Crystals, obtaining the second batch of one hundred Bronze-tier Magic Crystals will become simple!"

Qin Luo sighed and continued to check other gains.

Six skill books!

Four of them are conventional combat skills!

The last two are the same lord skill, named "Unity of the Wolves"!

The effect is: when the number of friendly troops reaches one hundred, they will gain 10% attack power, 5% defense power, and 5% vitality; negative effects such as restraint, suppression, and weakening received are reduced by 20%.

"This Unity of the Wolves is not bad!"

Qin Luo was pleasantly surprised!

Because the number of Undead troops is large, any lord skill that takes effect on all troops creates very high value.

After all, Qin Luo's lord skill boosts hundreds of thousands of Undead troops at once, while other lords, even if they obtain the same lord skill as Qin Luo, would only boost a few hundred or a thousand troops.

The two are simply not on the same order of magnitude.

After learning one of the "Unity of the Wolves" books, although Qin Luo himself did not feel any changes, the Undead under his command scattered within a radius of tens of miles of the territory gained another boost in strength at the same time.

Why is it "another"?

Because after Qin Luo appointed the Undead Monarch as the Commander-in-Chief of the First Army Group and placed hundreds of thousands of Undead under Jun Yi's rule, the strength of these Undead had already surged once.

Just one of the bonds, "King's Legion," has the effect that the Undead Monarch himself and the Undead soldiers under his command have their strength increased by 60%, defense increased by 60%, agility increased by 30%, skill damage increased by 30%, and damage reduction increased by 30%; this bonus can cover up to one million Undead!

This is enough to make the combat power of every Undead take a qualitative leap.

Hundreds of thousands of Undead being greatly enhanced at the same time—what a spectacular sight that is, with their momentum surging in an instant, terrifying to the extreme!

And this sight made the many Goblins on the walls of the Underground City show complex expressions of shock, worry, and fear.

In just one day, for the Goblin race, it was like a year, and the world had changed drastically.

Although General Maikai led the Goblin army to crusade against the Undead army last night, the result was "total annihilation," with not even one returning to report the news. After the Undead army achieved victory, it quickly launched an infiltration and counterattack against the Goblin world, especially cutting off all communication between the Goblin City and the outside world.

At first, the Goblin high-level officials did not pay much attention, but later they found that the situation was becoming more and more wrong; wave after wave of scouts or Goblin teams sent out during the day did not return.

By nighttime, due to the constant probing and counterattacks launched by the Goblin race, the traces of the Undead army were also discovered by the Goblin race.

Since they were discovered, there was no need to continue hiding, so they stopped concealing their tracks and directly moved out, surrounding the entire Goblin City.

Besides the Undead who followed Wang Yi and Maikai to occupy various mining areas, there were as many as twenty thousand Undead troops outside the Goblin City at this time.

Besides the large number, the strength of every Undead was comparable to the Black Iron Realm; this point was the most terrifying, not to mention the many Undead Giant Beasts soaring in the air, giving the Goblins in the city great pressure.

And according to the data provided by Maikai, although the living space of the entire Goblin City can accommodate hundreds of thousands of Goblins, in reality, the permanent population in the city is one hundred thousand, only half of the Undead army.

Facing so many powerful enemies, a genocide crisis is imminent; how could the Goblin race not panic!?
