Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Chapter 165: Light Alliance

Just as Lilith finished speaking, the portal behind her lit up again, and angels with black wings began to emerge.

These angels were completely different from the ones Alex had seen before. Regular angels gave off an aura of holiness and inviolability, but these fallen angels were sinister and ominous.

No wonder Lilith said her troops were the real ominous ones.

If the other Lords knew about the troops of the three present, it would likely provoke their wrath.

Lilith wasn't as aloof as Alex had initially thought. Her attitude towards Alex was actually quite friendly.

Alex and Lilith shook hands, and for some reason, both of their hands were cold, neither feeling any warmth from the other.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Alex."

Satan, standing nearby, also eyed the fallen angels. He realized that this was another top-tier Lord, no less powerful than the two of them.

"Why are you helping her?" Satan asked Lilith, feeling a sense of shared fate among the three of them.

"Angel's intuition," Lilith replied coolly, her tone completely different from how she spoke to Alex. Satan didn't mind; he accepted this new ally.

Lilith's distinguished fallen angels numbered eight, similar to Satan's twelve demons, all with the potential to become gods. Currently, there were three Monarch-level fallen angels.

Compared to Satan, Lilith could also summon ordinary fallen angels and use their abilities to corrupt and control other races.

In terms of sheer numbers, Lilith's troops outnumbered Satan's, but she had only brought her elite troops this time—three thousand fallen angels.

As the three got to know each other, Alex decided to share her plans with them.

But first, Alex went to the bedroom to find Ruby.

Alex slipped her cold hand under the covers.

"Ah, so cold!" Ruby jolted awake and sat up.

"Come on! Haven't you slept enough in the cave?"

Ruby wasn't really trying to sleep; Alex's bedroom was just too comfortable, making her drowsy.

Alex took Ruby outside the castle.

"Is this your sister?" Satan asked, looking at the girl who was even smaller than Alex.

"This is a friend of mine. She's also Monarch-level, and her skills and abilities are quite impressive."

Ruby's ears twitched, and she lifted her head proudly.

Alex explained her plan to the three of them. Satan quickly noticed a flaw in the plan.

"Even if you have a hidden castle, what if it's discovered? Who's guarding it?"

Alex pointed to the twenty-five undead at the castle gate. They instantly exuded a powerful aura in response to Alex.

"Twenty-five Monarch-level?!"

"No, they're pseudo-Monarch-level. Your castle must have some special building that boosts their levels. They've reached Monarch-level but don't have domains."

Satan quickly noticed the discrepancy, but twenty-five pseudo-Monarch-level troops were more than enough to guard the castle.

After all, aside from the top-tier Lords, no other Lords had Monarch-level troops.

"If the enemy has a fast and stealthy Monarch-level, it could still be risky," Lilith cautioned, knowing the enemy's goal was to capture the castle crystal.

However, Lilith believed that with the castle's shield, defenses, and twenty-five pseudo-Monarch-level guards, it was well-protected. She was just pointing out a possibility.

Alex snapped her fingers, and the four statues at the castle gate began to tremble. Stones fell off, their eyes lit up, and the gargoyles spread their wings, coming to life.

The four gargoyles exuded an astonishing aura, each releasing a domain.

Satan and Lilith were both taken aback. Each of these gargoyles was stronger than anyone present.

Not to mention, the four together were Alex's true trump card.

Each gargoyle was Monarch-level, but not the lowest tier. They were at least level 3 Monarch-level.

Satan even thought that if Alex relied on this castle to defend against enemies, no matter how many there were, they wouldn't be able to breach it.

Indeed, no top-tier Lord was simple; not just any Lord could be easily provoked.

"Let's go, I'll lead the way."

The four of them flew into the sky, heading towards Chi Chi's castle, with their army following closely behind.

Soon, they arrived at Chi Chi's castle, planning to rest there for the night. After all, they couldn't wait in the swamp until dawn.

"This formation is good. Even Monarch-levels wouldn't notice it without careful observation. Commanding-levels definitely wouldn't," Lilith commented after examining the alchemy formation.

"There's a Lord so close to you, and you haven't killed him?" Satan quipped.

"She's just a kid, and now she's useful. These intel reports were given to me by her."

The three of them stood outside the castle, looking at the swamp to the south. Even at night, Lilith and Satan could vaguely see the endless undead army inside the swamp under the red moonlight.

"After this, we'll officially enter the sights of all the Lords, standing against them."

"So what? If our troops are exposed, we'll face the same situation as Alex. Undead are already ominous. Demons? Fallen angels? Ha, hitting them hard once will make them behave."

Satan was full of confidence. Fourteen Monarch-level troops, plus three Lords and Ruby, made eighteen Monarch-level powerhouses.

Satan didn't believe the Lord Alliance could muster such a strong force.

"No, I mean this alliance can last long-term. What do you think, Alex?" Lilith looked at Alex.

"I think so too."

Alex could already imagine the future. Having allies was indeed better than fighting alone.

Moreover, their castles were on different continents, allowing for better development.

The three of them decided to name their alliance the [Light Alliance]. Despite their troops being ominous and disastrous, they hadn't done anything evil. Alex believed that what mattered was not what the troops were, but what they did.

Even though Blonde holds the title of a priest, he had sexual relations with 21 nuns, completely disgracing the sanctity of his position.

Their alliance name also symbolized a bright future.

As dawn approached, Alex felt it was time.

"Ruby, you can go now."

Alex called out, but there was no response. She turned around to find Ruby wasn't there.

"Alex, why is the bedroom here so shabby?" Ruby suddenly appeared in front of Alex, having heard her call.

Alex watched as Ruby left Chi-Chi's castle, flying towards the snowy mountain.
