Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Chapter 266: Attack the orc camps

The evening had arrived, and Alex was once again bored, using her scythe to trim her nails.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded.

[Congratulations on successfully conquering the Rockfang Beast tribe. You have obtained an Auxiliary Barrack and Race's Tear.]

This weak race, without any special traits, usually didn't offer much in terms of rewards.

Alex had already noticed the pattern. After absorbing it, sure enough, it only added a bit to her Progress.

[Kingdom's Tear current upgrade Progress: 15/100]

"Already 15%. It's getting close."

Alex was eagerly anticipating the day when the Progress would reach 100/100.

[Blood Moon in the sky, darkness descends]

As night fully fell, the siblings finally returned to the palace in the Undead City. Surprisingly, they didn't use a Return Stone but came back from the main fortress, indicating they had built an undead fortress in the Savage Plains.

"Miss Alex, we're back!"

Xiao Hui walked in, immediately taking off her coat and pulling the hair tie from her hair, letting it fall loose.

"I need to take a bath first. My hair got dirty from the dirt falling in the cave."

Xiao Hui tossed her coat to Xiao Mu and headed towards the bath.

"Leader, what about the Minotaur camp?" Xiao Mu looked at Alex, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Let's take Twinface Mountain first. We're not sure if there are other Beast Empire forces in the Savage Plains. While we need to develop quickly, it's more important to be steady."

Alex wanted speed but valued stability even more. The closer she got to advancing to King level, the more cautious she needed to be.

Xiao Mu then explained the location of the undead fortress to Alex, which made her eyes light up. No one would have thought there was an undead fortress above the clouds, making it a natural barrier.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Alex asked curiously.

"I'll wait for Xiao Hui."

"Are you sure?"

Xiao Mu looked puzzled. What was there to be unsure about? In the end, Xiao Mu waited for two hours before Xiao Hui finally finished her bath.

He seemed to understand why Alex had questioned him earlier.

"Wow, you actually waited for me. Unbelievable."

Xiao Hui took the coat from Xiao Mu's hand, put it on, and walked with him to the dining room.

Alex didn't go to eat, and Sophie had already finished her meal.

"Death Spirit, what's the situation with the Orc Empire?"

Alex found it strange that no information had come from Gemini City so late.

"Esteemed Queen, the orcs only launched a feint attack this time, seemingly to gather intelligence. They sent only low-level orcs, not even a single Monarch level orc."

Death Spirit's ethereal voice echoed in the hall, as it had possessed a specter to communicate with Alex more conveniently. This had almost become its exclusive undead host.

"Even the orcs are getting cautious now!"

Alex lamented the missed opportunity for experience points.

"In that case, notify Arthas to send the undead army to attack and clear out all the orcs outside Bloodrock City."

As long as they didn't face the Orc King of Bloodrock City, Alex didn't believe he would personally join the battle.

"Yes, Esteemed Queen."

The night in Gemini City was silent and eerie. As soon as Arthas received Alex's order, he set out with several other race kings.

For the undead, there was no difference between day and night. They had infinite stamina and never felt tired.

But for the orcs, it was a disadvantage. Their population was too large, and even if they gathered around Bloodrock City, they would be spread out far. To ease tensions between camps, there had to be buffer zones between them.

This meant that the camps on the outermost edge were quite far from Bloodrock City.

At this moment, a huge bonfire illuminated the central square of the camp. Several orcs patrolled with torches and weapons, while the others had already crawled into their tents and fallen into a deep sleep.

They had no idea that a crisis was quietly approaching.

Time: 00:00 AM

A massive zeppelin silently appeared above the camp. In the pitch-black night, the orcs below had no way of noticing it.

Swish, swish, swish!

Several bone blades sliced through the night sky, piercing the chests of a few patrolling orcs. With a thud, they fell silently to the ground.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

Azure didn't make a sound but used soul vibrations to convey the message to every undead present.

With Azure's command, several Monarch level undead descended from the sky, attacking the surrounding orcs.

This was a critical time for Alex to advance from level 9 Monarch to King level, and killing enemies to gain experience was the main goal.

Although Alex had said she would accept the orcs' submission, the loyal Azure, for Alex's maximum benefit, didn't give the orcs a chance to submit. He aimed for total annihilation from the start.

All the undead deployed were high-level Monarchs, not a single one below Monarch level. They could easily kill the orcs without making a sound.

This was an assassination mission, and the purpose of bringing the Silverscale Leviathan was not to deploy an undead army but to conveniently carry away the newly summoned undead.

The orc Chieftain in the tent seemed to hear something and woke up with a start. His weapon was right by his side.

The orc Chieftain jumped out of bed, immediately smashing a lich that tried to ambush him, and rushed out of the tent.

He felt something sticky under his feet. Looking down, he saw orc blood flowing around him. Shadows flew everywhere in the sky, slaughtering the orcs around him, making the orc Chieftain furious.

Roar!

A roar echoed through the camp, waking all the remaining orcs, who rushed out.

But by then, most of the orcs in the camp were already dead, and there were more than a dozen enemies in the sky, each one a Monarch level!

There was no way he could resist.

"Retreat, head towards Bloodrock City!"

The orc Chieftain grabbed his weapon and charged at the surrounding undead, ordering his people to retreat while he bought time.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks as a ghostly enemy appeared before him, emitting a strange blue-black aura. It was Azure, enhanced by the Death Spirit.

Several soul attacks hit the orc, and Azure immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the orc Chieftain.

As for the fleeing orcs, the Silverscale Leviathan in the sky was not just for show.

The same thing was happening in other camps.

Six orc camps were simultaneously attacked by unknown creatures at night. The attackers were powerful, with strange abilities, and all were Monarch level.

The sudden assault caught them completely off guard.

[Night retreats, dawn arrives.]

Sunlight bathed the land, heralding the dawn. The six orc camps lay in ruins, blood and corpses everywhere.

In one night, the six orc camps were utterly annihilated.
