Chapter 62: The First Ten-Thousand-Man Legion! Deployment on the East Side of the Territory!

Such a simple map covers the situation around the territory and the form of the enemy and us!

Except for the south, where no powerful enemies have been found for the time being, there are some strong enemies in other directions.

To the north is an unknown enemy that defeated the Gold-Eating Rat tribe!

To the west is an area where a large number of indigenous races gather, although most of them are small villages with weak strength, there will also be some large village tribes!

To the northeast is the Orc tribe!

Now to the east, a rare Lord's territory has appeared!

It can also be seen from the map the approximate range explored by the Undead.

Currently, enemies within one kilometer, including monster nests or Lord territories, have been eliminated!

Now the sweeping range of the Undead is expanding from one kilometer to three kilometers!

"The east is the key defense area!"

"Your next task is to continue exploring to the east, expand the sweeping range, and you must find the location of the Green Giant Lord's territory!"

"In addition, nearby, I suspect there is another Red Iron mine!"

Qin Luo pointed to the location of the Kobold territory and said to the Undead.

The reason is actually very simple, because Jian Shengyuan once possessed a large amount of Red Iron and traded with other lords in the market.

And Qin Luo guessed that the Green Giant Lord was highly likely attracted by the Red Iron in Jian Shengyuan's hands!

Therefore, we must find the location of this Red Iron mine!

Even if we can't spare manpower to mine this mining area at the current stage, Qin Luo would rather occupy it without developing it, and absolutely cannot fall into the hands of others!

"Yes, Lord!"

Wang Shiwu responded.

However, he has now become a bare commander, without a single skeleton under his hand!

But this is not a problem at all!

Qin Luo hasn't been idle all morning, always trading privately with other lords.

Although the efficiency is slower than selling directly, the price of the goods is much higher than the market.

Most of the people who trade with Qin Luo are transcendental lords. In order to get Red Iron and Bronze, they are more willing to

He used only 5,000 units of Red Iron and 1,000 units of Bronze to exchange for 20,000 Energy points, 8,000 Ordinary Realm monster corpses, 60 Black Iron Realm monster corpses, 35 Black Iron Grade Magic Crystals, 200 Ordinary Grade Magic Crystals, 2 Territory Cores, and 10 Barracks Hearts!

The total value of these resources was equivalent to nearly 60,000 Energy points!

Additionally, the sold equipment brought in 210 Ordinary Grade Magic Crystals and 24 Black Iron Grade Magic Crystals.

As for the Red Iron and Bronze listed for direct sale, there were very few buyers because the prices were set too high; even the Bronze-tier Black Iron Club didn't sell!

After all, the price for selling Red Iron and Bronze for Energy points was too high; even those Transcendental Lords might not be able to afford it, nor did they have that many Energy points on hand!

However, a barter system was much easier for the Lords to accept!

Most of the transactions between Qin Luo and the Transcendental Lords were conducted using various resources as substitutes!

Through a series of operations, Qin Luo consumed a large amount of Energy points, monster corpses, and other various resources to recruit 49 Black Iron Realm Undead Necromancers and 11,000 Ordinary Realm Undead Skeleton Soldiers!

"As expected, no matter how many Energy points I have, it's never enough!"

Qin Luo couldn't help but sigh!

But with every recruitment, Qin Luo's strength would skyrocket!

The number of Undead Necromancers reached 168, with two of them reaching Black Iron Three-Star!

The number of Undead Skeleton Soldiers reached 31,000, with over 60 Black Iron Realm Undead Bone Generals among them!

"I will leave these 11,000 Undead Skeleton Soldiers to you; you are responsible for developing and exploring the east side of the territory and sweeping away all potential dangers!"

Qin Luo said to Wu Shiwu.

In addition to the newly recruited 11,000 Undead Skeleton Soldiers, he also assigned twenty Black Iron One-Star Undead Necromancers to him!

"I will certainly not fail the Lord's trust!"

Wu Shiwu said in an excited tone.

"Go!"

Qin Luo said indifferently.

As for the two thousand-man legions led by Wang San and Wang Qi respectively, Qin Luo arranged for them to head to the southern part of the territory!

The east side would be sufficiently handled by Wu Shiwu's ten-thousand-man legion!

Moreover, the Undead Skeleton Soldiers had a bond: if the legion size exceeded 10,000, their strength would increase by 50%, defense by 50%, damage reduction by 50%, and they could activate the formation "Undead Dark Array"!

The bond for the Undead Necromancers was Wizard Power!

For every 100 undead converted by them, their Spirit attribute would permanently increase by 1%, up to a maximum of 100%. Additionally, for every 100 undead under their command, they would gain 1% temporary Spirit attribute, up to a maximum of 100%.

With the ten-thousand-strong Undead Army led by Wu Shiwu, if they were to encounter Xiong Zifang's Green-skinned Giant Legion head-on this time, they would definitely ensure they never returned!

It was the same old method: even with the Novice Protection Period in place, making it impossible to breach Xiong Zifang's territory, they could surround the opponent, preventing them from going out to obtain resources and grow their strength!

Qin Luo did not want to see a powerful Rare Lord appear near his own territory!

However, the harvest from Lord contests at the current stage was not very large!

Unless one could kill other Lords and destroy their territories, there would be no resource gains, just like when he killed the Kobold Lord Jian Shengyuan, from whom Qin Luo obtained all of his resources.

If the territory could not be destroyed, then just like the battle with the Green-skinned Giants, there would be no resource harvest at all.

The only gain, perhaps, was that Wu Shiwu had become stronger!

As for the corpses of the Green-skinned Giants, because they had been integrated into Undead Giant Beasts by Wu Shiwu and were severely damaged in battle, they could no longer be used as corpse materials for recruiting troops!

At most, some suitable bones could be selected to be spliced onto the Undead Skeletons to increase their strength a little.

"With Wu Shiwu's strength, I'm afraid it won't be long before he breaks through to the Bronze Realm!"

After Wu Shiwu led the Undead Army away, Qin Luo checked his attribute panel.

His Spirit attribute had reached 149 points!

It was only a tiny bit away from breaking through to the Bronze Realm and achieving a qualitative leap!

"If only the corpse of the Gold-Eating Rat King were still here; if he had integrated the bones of the Gold-Eating Rat King, Wu Shiwu would definitely have been able to break through to the Bronze Realm!"

Qin Luo said with some regret.

After eliminating the Gold-Eating Rat tribe, one of the most important harvests was naturally the corpse of the Bronze-tier Gold-Eating Rat King!

However, the credit for that battle belonged to Wang Yi and Wu Ershiyi, so as a reward, the corpse was naturally distributed to them.

It was just that even after splicing the Gold-Eating Rat King's corpse, they did not break through to the Bronze Realm.

The main issue was that one corpse was simply not enough, let alone being shared by two undead!

Of course, if it weren't for the war with the Green-skinned Giants, which caused the undead to suffer heavy losses, Wu Shiwu's strength would not have increased so quickly!

One must know that Wang Yi and Wu Ershiyi had gone through many major battles before reaching the Black Iron Three-Star realm.

From this, one can see that the deciding factor for the speed of the undead's strength increase is not battle experience, but how many undead comrades around them have died!

Qin Luo knew this well, but he did not deliberately send the undead to their deaths; instead, he left everything to the arrangements of fate.

The situation that happened with Wu Shiwu today was not in Qin Luo's calculations at all.
