Chapter 403: The First Batch of Blue Star Lords Who Volunteered to Join_2
Zi Liyuan almost shouted "666" to these guys.
They truly wanted to seize the opportunity to join him, going all out in their endeavor.
"Since that is the case, why don't you assign a subordinate to take my Spectral Dragon for a tour around your territory?"
"It would be our honor!"
Twenty-one Blue Star Lords, without any hesitation, agreed and each called a Crusader Warrior to guide the way and let the Spectral Dragon take over their territories.
Soon, twenty-one Spectral Dragons ascended, carrying twenty-one Crusader Warriors and twenty-one Wraith Mages, and flew swiftly in different directions.
Through the contract, even separated by hundreds of miles, Wraith Mages could use special death magic to perform remote projections.
Even though Zi Liyuan had temporarily accepted the allegiance of these Blue Star Lords, he did not let his guard down.
After all, he had never dealt with these people before; who knows what their character was like.
However, what slightly reassured him was that these twenty-one Blue Star Lords were all people from the Great Xia Empire.
"My Lord Zi Liyuan, please proceed to the Council Hall first to infuse the 'Heart of the Castle' with your Soul Imprint and complete the capture."
The representative Lord made a gesture of invitation, and the group all retreated to twenty meters away from the Council Hall entrance.
This scene of avoiding suspicion, in the eyes of a certain Zi, could only mean these fellows were really lowering their stance.
Dismounting from Dilys, accompanied by the Spider Queen, Lao Xu, and Hongsha, he unhesitatingly entered the Council Hall.
This group of Blue Star Lords stood outside obediently, silently watching Zi Liyuan's movements, not even stirring slightly themselves.
In the middle of the grand hall of the Council Hall, there lay a long rectangular conference table, and above the center of the table floated a fist-sized crystal resembling the outer appearance of a castle.
This time, Zi Liyuan did not directly reach out to grab the 'Heart of the Castle,' but rather he pointed at it, and his Spirit followed his finger into the interior of the 'Heart of the Castle.'
The moment his Spirit entered, its essence was imprinted inside the special 'Heart of the Castle.'
A sense of control abruptly surfaced in his heart.
It seemed that with just one thought, he could alter the structure of the entire castle.
However, just as Zi Liyuan was about to try it out, no change occurred.
"Very good elite, just slightly lacking in combat power," Zi murmured, standing casually.
The direct followers of the Undead Army in his hands were all mid to high-level beings, naturally looking down on the garrison below.
However, this garrison was definitively elite among its peers.
The enormous body of the Black Dragon King hovered above the castle, its Epic Boss-specific Dignity Pressure, combined with the Dragon's majesty, subjected the garrison below to spiritual oppression.
Had they not been seasoned soldiers, already adept at facing danger without fear, they would likely have broken ranks and fled long ago.
After all, how much is a salary worth to risk life against Spectral Dragons and the Black Dragon King?
"My Lord Zi Liyuan, we have come to see you!"
The sound of the horn signaled the arrival, as the sky filled with Spectral Dragons had already indicated who was coming.
The group of Blue Star Lords, just in the Council Hall, immediately ran out.
When they saw the person on the back of the Black Dragon King, they prostrated without a word, their attitude extremely respectful.
"Why have you come?"
Zi Liyuan watched the actions of these Blue Star Lords clear as day through a map interface, yet he did not relax his vigilance, persisting in questioning them thoroughly.
"We specifically come to pledge our allegiance to My Lord and to guard My Lord's city well!" Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire
One among the twenty-one, stepping forward as their representative, responded.
His response was concise, with a hint of appeasement, yet he managed not to sound servile or proud.
This scene slightly piqued Zi Liyuan's interest, as these were the first batch of Blue Star Lords who had personally expressed their desire to pledge allegiance to him.
"How am I to trust you?"
"We are not far from here, and we are willing to offer all our current resources to help you upgrade the Lord's Mansion quickly!"
"We are willing to develop resource points with all our might, and all collected materials will be for your use, My Lord!"
"Our garrisoned forces are willing to offer themselves to you now for the defense of the castle!"
(⊙o⊙)...
Watching the resolute Blue Star Lord representative, Zi Liyuan was momentarily at a loss for words.
This was a move of putting everything on the line to join his ranks.
It must be said, these twenty-one Blue Star Lords were quite inventive and tremendously bold, with awe-inspiring courage.
"Do you not know that I am currently on the Alien Lords' hit list?"
"We do!"
The answer came without any hesitation.
"Don't you realize that joining me now could expose you to great danger?"
"To seek wealth and danger, can adding flowers to brocade compare to sending charcoal in snowy weather?"
Zi Liyuan fell into silence for a second.
"Great courage."
"We are willing to be the solid wall before you; if the Alien Lords want to assassinate you, they must step over our corpses!"
Zi Liyuan almost yelled out a 666 in admiration for these fellows.
This really was a dive-headfirst approach to seizing the opportunity to join him.
"Since that is the case, how about you assign someone to take my Spectral Dragon for a tour around your territory?"
"It would be an honor!"
The twenty-one Blue Star Lords agreed without hesitation and each called a Crusader Warrior, instructing them to lead the way and let the Spectral Dragon take over their territories.
Soon, twenty-one Spectral Dragons took off, each carrying a Crusader Warrior and a Wraith Mage, rapidly flying in different directions.
Through the bond of the contract, even hundreds of miles away, the Wraith Mages could use special death magic to project remotely.
Even though Zi Liyuan had tentatively accepted these Blue Star Lords, he did not let his guard down.
After all, he had never met these people before; who knows what their characters were like.
However, what gave him some comfort was that all these twenty-one Blue Star Lords were from the Great Xia Empire.
"Lord Zi Liyuan, please go to the Council Hall in the castle first, to implant the Soul Imprint into the Heart of the Castle and complete the occupation."
The representative Lord made a gesture inviting Zi Liyuan, and the group all moved back to twenty meters away from the hall's entrance.
This cautious distance only emphasized how deferentially these fellows were acting.
Descending from Dilys, accompanied by the Spider Queen, Lao Xu, and Hongsha, he walked into the Council Hall unapologetically.
The group of Blue Star Lords stood obediently outside, silently watching Zi Liyuan's actions, not even twitching.
In the middle of the Council Hall was a rectangular conference table, and hovering just above the center of the table was a fist-sized crystal resembling the exterior of a castle.
This time, Zi Liyuan did not reach out to grab the Heart of the Castle; instead, he pointed a finger, and his Spirit followed the finger into the interior of the Heart of the Castle.
The moment his Spirit entered, his essence was imprinted inside the special Heart of the Castle.
A sudden feeling of control surged in his heart.
It seemed that with just a thought, he could alter the structure of the entire castle.
But just when Zi Liyuan wanted to try something, no change occurred.
