Undying Warlord

Chapter 460 Unite But How?

Dilan could tell that the abyss difficulty advancement challenge was more difficult to solve than the last one. The Abandoned Island had merely been a place where he had to survive for three days straight, but this time things were a little different.

He was forced to unite Camsun, the entire continent, not just a small region. That was in an entirely different league than anything Dilan had done until now.

"So what the hell am I going to do now? If I use my Ascenders, Victoria's Mutants, my Slaves, the tamed Monsters, and the Scorpionmen it should be possible to achieve something…but we're only a few thousand people and I don't really know what exactly the 'unite' in the mission implicates…" Dilan mumbled to himself, hoping that the words he spoke out would help him figure out everything he wanted.

He was surrounded by Victoria and the others right now. They knew the 'content' of his abyss of difficulty advancement mission, which was not exactly a lot.

The mission's content was to unite Camsun and everyone could interpret it in their own way.

"You will have to unite all humans in Camsun to complete the advancement mission… that will be quite difficult!" Kathrine said, just for Yvonne to start shaking her head.

"It's possible that you will have to unite all humans, Werewolves, Vampires, Witches, and so on, but that is not really something you know for sure before completing your advancement mission. I think you should try to unite all races on Camsun if you want to receive the highest possible score in your abyss difficulty advancement mission," Yvonne said while turning her head to Dilan at the end.

He nodded in response, with the same thought in mind as Yvonne.

"But the question is how will you unite a whole continent? I can use force, enough force to overwhelm everyone on this continent but I'm not sure if that's what the system wants from me. If they want me to act diplomatically, they've definitely chosen the wrong person!" Dilan grunted irritably.

If he could use his strength to make sure that everyone would succumb to him, even if it was only temporarily, Dilan would be more than satisfied. It would be the easiest to overwhelm everyone even if it would require him to summon a Tier-3 Demon.

As long as he rushed through Camsun, it would only be a matter of time before he finished overwhelming everyone. Camsun was the smallest continent on Milarn. It was roughly ten times larger than the Shikan plains and Dilan could start conquering the Shikan plains before beginning to pilfer through one region after another.

"Using force would result in Dominion rather than uniting," Sven added thoughtfully and everyone else nodded their heads.

"And what if I intimidate them and force everyone to connect to one another? At first, it might seem like dominion but if I don't intervene more than necessary, it should be fine…I guess?" Dilan asked in uncertainty. He was actually doubtful of how to complete the mission because he wanted to get as many Ability Merits as possible.

This was important and not something he could ignore, otherwise, he could have just used brute force to overwhelm and unite everyone.

Unfortunately, that was not how it worked these days. Strength was good, especially when it came to making his statement clear, but there were certain situations where brute force wouldn't be the best solution.

"I don't know about other races but all native inhabitants of Camsun should be united without force. The future looks bleak if Milarn keeps evolving so fast and it is obvious that more and more races will try to find their ways to Milarn. The world will be overflowing with all kinds of races and a bloodbath will occur wherever you look. Having more people on your side, and uniting Camsun will help fighting against the foreign forces!" Sven suggested and everyone agreed to his statement.

Even if Dilan was powerful, the incident in Shiron clearly showed that he was not omnipotent and that it was not possible for him to protect everyone, everywhere. If two incidents were to happen simultaneously, Dilan would fail miserably to protect all of his people.

That was only obvious and it was also one of the reasons why Dilan was a little bit bothered asking other people for help. Many Ascenders would die in an attempt to unite Camsun and only those, who really wanted to, should help him!

"Don't you worry too much about others? You are willing to help us, so it's only obvious that we will help you as well!!" Victoria declared loudly. She was not going to abandon Dilan after everything he had done for all of them.

Yvonne and Kathrine thought the same and the others did not feel any different.

Everyone, who knew how much Dilan had done for them, would support him in completing his advancement mission even if it would be dangerous.

"Instead of beating around the bush, we should just explain the situation and make it clear that you will conquer or unite Cansum even if they don't like it. They can decide whether to accept the decision willingly or make you use force and you shouldn't be bothered about them," Williams added carefully. He had gauged Dilan's personality by now and it warmed his heart to know that he thought about his people's life that much.

At the first glance, it looked like Dilan was heartless and wicked but upon getting to know him it was quite obvious that he was just like a coconut, hard from the outside but a gem of a person on the inside.

"Yeah, let's do that then," Dilan said before he asked them something he recalled,

"By the way, what are your missions?"

The others looked at him with a trace of pity in their eyes and it took them a while to answer.

"I need to collect a bunch of materials," Sven revealed.

"That's pretty easy, I have to kill some Tier-3 monsters, including an Inferior Behemoth. I have no idea where to find one,to begin with!" Kathrine complained, and she sighed deeply.

The others explained their missions one after another and Dilan's expression changed slowly.

He wanted to sigh in frustration but he held it in.

"I guess we can complete your missions while I try to unite Camsun. Collecting specific materials or killing specific monsters can be quite annoying when you stay in the same place all the time!" Dilan offered, trying to appease his people while making sure that he wouldn't get too annoyed himself.

Ending up frustrated was definitely not helpful and it would hinder him from keeping a calm and composed mind.

"Just call over everyone who is willing to become a Vampire. As long as their potential is high enough, I'm sure that they can become noble Vampires," He came up with an idea and Victoria left with the others.

Most powerful Ascenders were currently in the Netherworld Realm, which is what they had labeled the realm where the Blood Monarch's Instance Dungeon was located.

Victoria and the others went there to bring everyone back and hold a big meeting.

Dilan didn't prepare a speech but he noticed that this was not necessary, to begin with.

Everyone looked at him with the desire to battle.

They were far from done with fighting the Vampires and they yearned to fight the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction.

However, now that an even bigger opportunity to fight had been unveiled in front of them, they were quite literally waiting for him to order them to fight and to kill.

"How about it, guys…do you want to conquer the continent with me?"
