Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

"Respected human mage, I have told you everything I know, please keep your promise and spare us!"

The Hobgoblins thought Alex would ask them about the Hobgoblin kingdom, but she only asked for some basic information that any intelligent race would know. It made sense, these extraterrestrial visitors had only arrived in this world a few days ago, so it was normal for them not to know these details.

The Hobgoblins had already decided that once they returned to the Hobgoblin kingdom, they would immediately seek help to avenge themselves. Among these extraterrestrial visitors, there were some with considerable strength, not as easily defeated as those around the Hobgoblin kingdom.

Alex nodded, "Yes, I am someone who keeps her promises. I said I won't kill you, and I won't."

The Hobgoblins were overjoyed, thinking the extraterrestrial human in front of them was foolishly naive. They stood up and immediately tried to flee.

Roar!

Arthur unleashed a breath of dragon, engulfing the four Hobgoblins completely. They didn't even have time to react before their souls were sent to hell.

"I said I wouldn't kill, but I didn't say my troops couldn't."

"Arthur, have the undead bring these Goblin corpses back to the castle." With all the Hobgoblins dead, Alex thoughtfully ordered the undead to clean up the battlefield.

Chi-Chi thought Alex wanted the bodies for disassembly.

"Don't just stand there, let's go!" Alex expertly jumped onto the back of a gargoyle, which slowly took off. Chi-Chi also summoned her Flying Nimbus again and followed Alex into the sky.

Alex led the way with Chi-Chi following behind as they flew towards Alex's castle. Now that Chi-Chi was in a servile relationship with Alex, which was irreversible, some special enhancements of Alex's castle also benefited Chi-Chi.

As Chi-Chi entered Alex's castle territory, her Flying Nimbus suddenly sped up, and she felt her strength increasing.

Chi-Chi quickly checked her attributes and exclaimed, "Hey, I've leveled up!"

"Oh, that's the special building enhancement of my castle. It disappears once you leave the territory," Alex explained to Chi-Chi, who was behind her.

Chi-Chi was stunned again; she had never seen a special building before. Were their attributes really that strong?

She then remembered she could access some of Alex's information.

[Lord: Alex]

[Strength: lv1 Commanding level]

[Territory Level: lv9 Initial Castle (MAX)]

[Barracks Level: lv7 Undead Crystal]

[Number of Special Buildings: 6]

[Troops: Undead race (unique troops)]

[Number of Equipments: 1]

Chi-Chi was dumbfounded. Alex was far stronger in every aspect compared to her, and Chi-Chi couldn't even see what the special buildings of Alex's castle were, only their number.

Chi-Chi thought having one special building was outrageous enough, but Alex had six. Her strength had reached the Commanding level, and even her castle was at maximum level...

This was a huge blow. Compared to Alex, Chi-Chi felt like a waste...

The invisibility effect of the Specter Chandelier didn't work on Chi-Chi. The moment she entered Alex's territory, she could see Alex's castle from afar.

But the castle... why did it look a bit terrifying?

Soon, Chi-Chi followed Alex as they landed at the castle entrance, where four menacing statues with bared fangs greeted them. Chi-Chi noticed they resembled the creature that had flown Alex here.

They entered the castle gate and came to a courtyard with an altar the size of half a football field in the center. The skulls on the four pillars emitted a creepy blue light, and below was a pool of black, unidentified liquid.

"You better not walk into this; if you can't get out, I can't save you," Alex warned Chi-Chi, who was staring at the Blackwater Altar. Currently, only the undead and Alex could freely enter and exit the barrier around the altar, and Alex wasn't sure if Chi-Chi could come out if she went in.

Alex glanced at the time; it was noon. She didn't need to eat, but Chi-Chi probably did.

"Are you hungry? There's food in the Warehouse; you can take it to the kitchen and cook."

"I am a bit hungry, can I really cook it?"

Alex took out a portion of food from the Warehouse and handed it to Chi-Chi.

Chi-Chi, a bit embarrassed, took it and turned towards the castle. After a few steps, she turned back.

"Miss Alex, aren't you going to eat? I can't finish this food by myself."

"Alright, I'll eat a bit too."

Due to the Hobgoblin incident, Alex had been delayed all morning and hadn't managed to deal with some supplies.

Alex and Chi-Chi walked towards the kitchen while collecting the materials traded at the trading post.

[Congratulations Lord, you have successfully traded 2800 portions of food, receiving 11200 units of wood and 5600 units of stone.]

Once in the kitchen, Alex chopped the food into small pieces, threw them into a pot, added water, and prepared to stew everything together.

"Given your age, you must still be a student, right? Have you found your parents here?" Alex asked, trying to make conversation while they waited for the food to cook.

Alex, you really know how to start a conversation, bringing up such a heavy topic right away.

As soon as she asked, Alex regretted it, noticing a flash of sadness in Chi-Chi's eyes before she put on a brave face.

"No, I haven't. I believe they're fine. Maybe they didn't come to this world."

For a child of her age, suddenly being transported to a strange world and being alone would undoubtedly be frightening and make her miss home.

Unlike Alex, who had been an orphan since childhood and was used to living alone, and had already experienced one such transition, making it easier for her to adapt psychologically.

"What about you, Miss Alex? Have you found your parents? Someone as strong as you could surely protect them."

Chi-Chi, concerned about herself, also cared enough to ask about Alex.

"Me? I don't have parents."

Alex's response was startling.

"Ah? I'm sorry, Miss Alex..."

Chi-Chi realized she might have said something wrong and quickly apologized.

"I've been an orphan since I was young, I don't remember anything about my parents, you don't need to apologize."

Alex said nonchalantly, standing up to fetch two plates. She served the cooked meat onto the plates and placed one in front of Chi-Chi.

"The meat's ready, eat up."

Chi-Chi began to eat hungrily, using the knife and fork.

"Thank you, Miss Alex, you're really kind."

Alex also sat opposite Chi-Chi, leisurely eating the meat with a fork.

"I'm not as kind as you think."
