Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Chapter 255: Set out immediately

Alex arrived in Gemini City through the Portal of Transit and saw the four orcs who had chosen to submit. They could tell that all the Monarch level undead present deferred to this girl. Upon seeing Alex, they immediately prostrated themselves, displaying utmost humility.

"At least they know their place," Xiao Hui remarked sarcastically.

The orc chieftains' voluntary submission was a good thing. They might have valuable information about the Orc Empire, which would allow Alex to gather intelligence and prepare in advance.

"Tell me everything you know about why the Orc Empire summoned you," Alex's cold voice echoed. She stared at the orcs, indifferent to their fate.

If they cooperated well, Alex might consider letting them submit. Otherwise, they'd just become undead.

"Leader, Bloodrock camp summoned us by force, compelling us to submit and merge all camps under the Angel race!" one scar-faced orc quickly said, his face filled with anger and helplessness.

The orc's words were shocking, even to Alex. So, it was indeed related to the Angel race. The Holy Court's actions were directed by the angels.

The orc chieftain then detailed the events of Bloodrock camp's summons.

In an instant, Alex understood many things, including the templar knights' missions in the elf kingdom and hobgoblin kingdom.

The Holy Court was secretly recruiting races for the angels, forcing their submission.

Why did the angels need so many races?

For war, of course!

In places Alex couldn't see, the angels were aggressively recruiting races by force. She believed the Angel race would soon make a significant move.

Through the orc chieftains' accounts, Alex learned the specifics. The news was widespread in Bloodrock City, making it hard for the chieftains not to know.

But the more Alex learned, the more alarmed she became.

"Five King levels?!"

"Just five of them forced the entire Orc Empire to submit!"

The Orc King was also a King level, yet he was powerless.

In three days, after the chieftains returned to their camps, they were to immediately relocate their members to the royal city for the merger.

Before the chieftains returned, Bloodrock camp had already sent people to notify them.

The camps were in turmoil, with some dissenters being executed by the templar knights as a warning. After a few chieftains were killed, the others, like the Orc King, complied.

They had no choice; refusal meant death.

The six orc chieftains had been tasked with eliminating the undead in the northern Empire, which is why they still haven't gone to the royal city.

This explained why one of them had said, "The camp is gone! What glory is there to defend?"

The Orc King had signed a knight contract with the Holy Court, declaring the Orc Empire's submission.

Orcs, used to their freedom, were naturally resentful of this forced submission. Losing their camps also meant losing their faith, and they had lost all hope in the Orc King.

Submission to anyone no longer mattered.

Alex suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "So, the orc camps are currently moving to Bloodrock City?"

This worried Alex. If they all relocated and gathered, how would she attack them?

"Yes, but I know the locations of all the surrounding camps. The other chieftains should have just returned and haven't moved yet," the scar-faced orc chieftain said, bowing his head.

"Good. I accept your submission."

Alex looked at the siblings, and Xiao Mu stepped forward to sign a contract with the orc.

The other three orc chieftains, seeing this, regretted not speaking up first.

"What's your name?" Xiao Mu asked the orc.

"Leader, my name is Bloodfang."

Bloodfang was the name of his camp. He straightened up, showing his high emotional intelligence among the orcs.

"And you three, do you have anything to add?"

The three orc chieftains, seeing a chance to live, quickly shared their information, which was almost identical to Bloodfang's.

"Alright, they are now your subordinates," Alex said, waving her hand, uninterested in their chatter. She kept them purely for strategic purposes.

Thus, the four orc chieftains became a hierarchy, with Bloodfang as their leader.

Clap!

Alex clapped her hands.

Four Silverscale Leviathans descended from the sky, hovering above the city walls. Two Reaper Guards appeared beside Alex.

"No time to waste. Set out immediately, split into four groups!"

At Alex's command, the two Reaper Guards and four race kings divided into four teams, boarding the Silverscale Leviathans. The four orcs each took charge of navigation.

Alex stood on the city wall, looking at the undead on the Silverscale Leviathans.

"Wow, a giant zeppelin!" Xiao Hui exclaimed, shaking Xiao Mu's arm excitedly.

Xiao Mu and Xiao Hui also boarded a Silverscale Leviathan. With their combined forces, including some Monarchs and the troops inside the Leviathans, they could easily wipe out an orc camp each.

"Let's go!"

At Alex's command, the Silverscale Leviathans ascended rapidly, flying south.

After watching them disappear from sight, Alex left the wall.

With nothing else to do, she wandered around Gemini City. This was her first visit since upgrading the siblings' castle to a city.

While strolling, Alex informed Lilith about the angels' involvement, advising her to be cautious in the elf kingdom.

Now was the best time to act. If they waited until the elves consolidated, Lilith would face not just the forest elves kingdom but the entire elf kingdom.

That's why Alex had decisively sent the Silverscale Leviathans with the undead to attack orc.

Whether Lilith realized this wasn't Alex's concern.

Besides the attacking undead, the city still had twenty Monarch level undead and 20,000 troops for defense, which was sufficient. Satisfied with her curiosity, Alex left Gemini City.

Meanwhile, on the distant shores of the Arsen continent, in Lilith's town, she received Alex's warning and knew she couldn't delay any longer.

Lilith's face was serious. Finding a Lord to submit across two continents was incredibly difficult. So far, Lilith was still alone.

This severely limited her development, putting her at a disadvantage.

Lilith had encountered other Lords but hadn't chosen to make them submit, thinking weak Lords would only drag her down.

But now, she realized that even top-tier Lords like Alex and Raphaela had many subjects.

Her troops were strong, but being confined to one continent was problematic.

"Morgana, gather all the sea races and attack the forest elves kingdom!" Lilith ordered a fallen angel. She couldn't delay any longer.

She planned to disguise the attack as a sea race invasion, forcing the elves to defend the coastline, then use the chaos to control the forest elves from within and take over.

The intelligence was clear. Except for the light elves, dark elves, and storm elves, the other elf kingdoms had no King levels. Their kings were only Monarch level, so Lilith had no worries.

With the three elf kings preoccupied with the templar knights, they couldn't intervene in the other kingdoms. Lilith just needed to install a puppet as the new forest elves king to cover her tracks.

Once she controlled the forest elves kingdom, she could expand inland.

But Lilith's development had stalled recently, barely reaching lv3 Monarch. She couldn't imagine how powerful Alex had become.

She might need Alex and Satan's help. Her current strength was insufficient.

Just then, the system notified her of a private message from Satan.

"I found a Lord!"

Lilith's tense expression finally relaxed a bit.

Great, now she could expand to other continents.
