Chapter 81: Wu Ershiyi returns! The submission of the Dwarf Race!

"I implore the Lord to bestow this upon me!"

"I am currently lacking a mount, and this skeleton is perfect for modification!"

"After the modification, I will bind it with a contract. Not only will it retain the peak power it possessed in life, but it will also exist permanently, fighting side-by-side with me and growing stronger continuously!"

Death Knight Wang Yi said to Qin Luo.

"Very well, you may handle the skeleton of the Flame Demon Warrior yourself!"

Qin Luo nodded slightly.

After all, the purpose of bestowing the Flame Demon Warrior's bones upon other Undead was to cultivate new Bronze-tier Undead.

Since the Death Knight had a way to transform it into an Undead partner (mount) of the same tier, that would be even better!

"However, are you capable of performing Undead modification on it?"

Qin Luo asked again.

Because the Death Knight's special traits had changed, its special abilities of Dismemberment and Splicing had already disappeared from its attribute panel.

Qin Luo also wanted to know if he was still capable of these two types of abilities!

"I cannot do it myself!"

"However, I can have the Undead Necromancers help with the modification!"

"Especially Wu Ershiyi, who can also utilize his Undead Giant Beast skill to fuse some other monster bones into this skeleton!"

Death Knight Wang Yi said.

"So that's how it is!"

Qin Luo nodded slightly. "The Dark Offensive has already ended; you are free to act. The remaining Undead from now on will all be under your jurisdiction. Your area of responsibility is the north side of the Territory, which includes the Red Iron Mine and the Underground World. You may continue to expand northward. While sweeping through monster nests in the wild, you must also pay attention to whether there are any new metal mines!"

"Also, since you have broken through to the Bronze Realm, the plan to conquer the Orc Tribe to the northeast should also be put on the agenda!"

Qin Luo added. "The Undead Army led by Wu Ershiyi successfully took down the Dwarf Village. He has more experience in conquering such large-scale villages and tribes; you two can join forces to deal with it!"

The Orc Tribe should be the most powerful indigenous force within a radius of ten-plus miles!

Orcs are considered a relatively strong race of creatures, possessing sturdy muscles and great strength.

In particular, there is a suspected powerful Bronze-tier Orc within this Orc Tribe!

However, dealing with these indigenous forces is different from dealing with Dark Monsters.

Dark Monsters are influenced by world rules and stand on the opposite side of the Territory, belonging to a hostile force. Dealing with Dark Monsters means they can only be killed.

The same logic applies to dealing with wild monsters.

But for indigenous intelligent races like Centaurs, Orcs, and Dwarves, besides exterminating them, one can also subdue them and let them become residents of the Territory.

Most importantly, Orcs are strong and sturdy; they are definitely experts at mining!

What Qin Luo wants is not a pile of Orc corpses, but a pile of living Orcs!

"Yes, Lord!"

"I will first dispatch several Undead scouts to probe the true strength of the Orc Tribe!"

"In at most one or two days, I will launch an attack on the Orc Tribe!"

Wang Yi replied.

"Go!"

Qin Luo waved his hand.

After dismissing Wang Yi, Qin Luo prepared to organize all the gains from tonight!

But suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside; an Undead Army was coercing hundreds of Dwarves into the Territory.

Besides that, there were also a great many supplies.

And dozens of Magic Cannons!

"Lord, the Dwarf Village has been taken, and the Dwarves have all surrendered."

Wu Ershiyi walked over and reported to Qin Luo one by one, which also included the process of the entire battle.

Hearing that Wang Er had sacrificed himself for the greater good, Qin Luo could not help but feel some emotion and regret.

Wang Er was, after all, one of the first batch of Undead Bone Generals and had always been a dedicated existence under Qin Luo's command.

If he hadn't died in battle this time, he would sooner or later have been able to break through his life limits like Wang Yi and reach the Bronze Realm, or even reach a higher realm.

"Bring the Dwarf Patriarch over!"

Qin Luo said. "Additionally, Wang Yi might need your help over there; you go and discuss it with him!"

"Understood, Lord!"

Wu Ershiyi replied.

Soon, the Dwarf Patriarch A Pudu walked tremblingly in front of Qin Luo. When he saw Qin Luo's appearance, he could not help but reveal a look of shock.

He had originally thought that they had fallen into the control of the Undead Race; after all, along the way here and after entering the Territory, there were Undead figures everywhere.

Who would have thought that the Lord who dominated these Undead was actually a human!

A Pudu was considered well-informed and had deep experience, and he could accurately judge that Qin Luo should be a normal human, or a human-like race, but definitely not of the Undead Race, because one could not feel even a trace of Undead or death aura on Qin Luo.

"Greetings, Lord!"

A Pudu was surprised, but his reaction was quick. After arriving in front of Qin Luo, he knelt on one knee.

Regardless of whether Qin Luo was human or Undead, the fact remained unchanged: the lives of their hundreds of Dwarves were all controlled by the young Lord before him.

"Get up. Are you the Patriarch of the Dwarf Race?"

"I have a few things to ask you!"

Qin Luo stared at him and noticed a blood hole on his forehead.

Wu Ershiyi had just reported the battle situation to Qin Luo; this blood hole was drilled out by a Witch Gu.

Once A Pudu had any thoughts of insubordination, he could be instantly eliminated and turned into a puppet.

"Yes, Lord. You may ask whatever you wish; I will certainly tell you everything I know!"

A Pudu's posture was extremely low; after all, when one is under someone else's roof, one has to bow one's head.

"How many craftsmen among you can forge equipment?"

Qin Luo asked.

This time, the number of Dwarves who surrendered totaled six hundred and twenty.

And before the battle took place, there were over eight hundred Dwarves in the Dwarf Village, but more than two hundred of them died in the battle.

"Excluding some elderly and children, the number is less than one hundred. The remaining strong adult men and women are all craftsmen and blacksmiths who can help the Lord forge equipment!"

A Pudu only thought for a moment before answering quickly. "Besides forging equipment, we are also skilled in constructing various buildings, defensive works, and so on!"

It could be seen that as the Patriarch, he was very knowledgeable about the situation within his tribe.

"Then what equipment are you skilled at forging?"

Qin Luo asked again.

"There is the Dwarf Holy Sword, Magic Cannons, Muskets, Repeating Crossbows..."

A Pudu listed them one by one, but every time he said the name of a piece of equipment, Qin Luo's brow furrowed a little.

"Is that all?"

Qin Luo said with some disappointment.

Because what A Pudu mentioned were basically all within the ten Equipment Blueprints he had obtained!

"Yes, Lord. If that is not enough, we can also modify and innovate the equipment, but this process will require some time!"

A Pudu said with fear and trepidation, afraid that Qin Luo would become angry.
