Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

So strong! No wonder the fire magic she hit it with had no effect; it had been absorbed.

Destroyers, with a life attribute cap at the Emperor level, over a hundred with the potential to reach Emperor level—this was Alex's biggest gain this time!

Among all Destrotyers, only one Destroyer was at the Commanding level, the one that had just attacked Alex.

Alex had always seen in the World Chat that Lords had troops coming to join them, and today, it finally happened to her.

[Ghoul]

[Race: undead race]

[Loyalty: 100% (Never Betray)]

[Life Tier: Standard]

[Level: lv5 (can be increased by killing enemies)]

[Health Points: Undead trait, immortal as long as the soul fire burns]

[Mana Points: 0]

[Strength: 28]

[Stamina: ∞]

[Agility: 20]

[Maximum Growth: King level]

So, they were called Ghouls. None of the ghouls were at the Commanding level, so Alex randomly checked a level 5 for information.

The conclusion was that they were quite ordinary.

Too ordinary, indeed. Although their growth cap was the same King level as gargoyles, they had no special abilities, only describable as lackluster.

Ghouls felt to Alex like a lower version of gargoyles, and crucially, they couldn't even fly.

"Can't fly, and they're so disgusting, ugh!"

Of course, Alex just inwardly despised them a bit. After all, these ghouls had come to join her, and perhaps the Commanding level ones might have skills.

...

After slaying so many beasts and gaining double the experience, Alex finally leveled up again. She felt that ever since she reached the Commanding level, the pace of her leveling had slowed considerably.

Time: 01:00 AM

Nearly all the beasts had been eradicated by Alex's undead army. The beast tide was almost over, and the eyes of the remaining wild beasts suddenly returned to normal, no longer the eerie crimson, indicating they had regained their senses.

All the wild animals and beasts began to turn away, losing interest in Alex's castle. Some of the beasts, now rational, even showed a hint of fear in their eyes. They fled in panic, crashing through numerous trees.

It seemed the beast tide was a system-designed purge to eliminate unfit Lords, forcibly controlling these beasts to follow a set program. This caused them to lose their sanity completely and attack all Lords indiscriminately.

Alex returned to the bathroom in her castle, covered in blood from the battle, needing a wash.

She took a cold shower, the cool water on her skin providing immense relief and reducing the fatigue from the battle.

After a quick shower, wrapped in a towel, Alex headed to her bedroom to change into clean clothes.

She stepped out of the castle; the battle outside was over.

She needed to summon today's troops first, then deal with the corpses outside—there was much to do.

[Undead crystal fully charged, ready to summon!]

"Summon."

A pale green light filled the room, and a massive figure materialized out of nowhere, instantly capturing Alex's attention.

Standing nearly sixty-six feet tall with robust limbs and somewhat human-like features, its gray skin and eye sockets devoid of eyeballs but burning with green flames made it imposing.

A giant!

That was Alex's first thought, and being an undead, it could only be a zombie titan.

Alex could hardly imagine the sheer scale of destruction this creature could cause, even without any special abilities.

Among the other twenty-nine undead, there were ten necromancers—well done!

There was also one bone dragon and one ghost dragon; the rest were lower-tier undead.

"Greetings, Queen."

"First, go to the Blackwater Altar for enhancement," Alex instructed the undead.

Ten minutes later, after the enhancements were complete, Alex checked the attributes of the zombie titan.

[Zombie Titan]

[Race: Undead Race]

[Loyalty: 100% (Never Betray)]

[Life Tier: Standard]

[Level: lv1 (can be increased by killing enemies)]

[Health Points: Undead trait, immortal as long as the soul fire burns]

[Mana Points: 30]

[Strength: 12+10]

[Stamina: ∞]

[Agility: 8+10]

[Maximum Growth: Emperor level]

[Skills: Flame Body, Ice Body]

[Enhancement Effect: Physical body significantly strengthened, reducing the mana consumption of body skills, all attributes +10 points.]

This zombie titan was incredibly powerful! Likely one of the highest single-entity attributes, aside from Arthur, John, and Ice Cream.

With a base Strength of over twelve points, enhanced by an additional ten points, Alex also reviewed the titan's two skills, both enhancement types but with different attributes, continuously consuming Mana Points until depleted.

The appearance rate of the zombie titan was quite low, much lower than other troops. If Alex could summon zombie titans as easily as skeleton soldiers, she felt she could sweep across the continent of Eldoria!

Alas, it wasn't feasible; zombie titans couldn't fly, a significant drawback.

Alex directed the undead on the wall to transport the beasts' corpses, all within the town's territorial range, with twenty necromancers beginning the lengthy summoning process. Alex also chose to directly summon some of the more powerful beasts into bone beasts.

The siege on the castle this time wasn't large, just over seven thousand beasts, bolstered by those from the Dark Forest and Frostwind Snowy Mountains.

Alex estimated that a typical Lord's beast tide ranged from three to five thousand, depending on the situation.

She glanced at the time: 1:30 AM.

Most Lords' beast tides would have ended by this time, but the World Chat was eerily quiet. Perhaps everyone was still reveling in the joy of survival, or maybe they were busy clearing resources.

At Chi-Chi's castle, John had also eradicated all the beast tide. John had successfully leveraged the beast tide and the double experience at night to reach the Commanding level.

John was directing skeletons to transport corpses, while Chi-Chi showed a slight smile of relief in her castle. Her castle, not far from Alex's, faced a much smaller beast tide of just over three thousand beasts, likely due to her distance from the snowy mountains and weaker strength.

John began leading skeletons to transport the beasts' corpses back to Alex's castle.

Standing on the wall, watching the busy undead below, Alex finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew—"

"The beast tide is finally over; now onto the next journey!"
