Chapter 404: The Undead Army Descends, Castle Defensive Arrangements_2
As the space was torn open, the Undead Army began to enter in an orderly fashion.
The first race of undead to come through the portal was the Shadow Souls.
With the arrival of the Shadow Souls' leader, Zi Liyuan issued orders immediately.
He dispatched tens of thousands of Shadow Souls to act as scouts, to investigate and clear the monsters in nearby areas.
Considering their own immortality, they were to kill as many as they could.
If they encountered monsters or groups too powerful, they were to return and call for reinforcements; the Specter Dragon Legion would handle the clean-up.
Following them were the Ghouls and Skeletons.
There were many Ghouls, but even more Skeletons, which flooded the town like a torrent, quickly spreading to every corner.
Last to make an entrance were the Bone Dragons. Compared to Zi Liyuan's army of Specter Dragon Bosses, these Bone Dragons were also of fourth-tier peak strength, but most were just ordinary monsters, though the lowest grade among them was the rare unit.
The reason for the scarcity of Bone Dragon Bosses was that Zi Liyuan had contracted most of the Bosses, then used the "Heart of the Lord" to forcibly upgrade them to the Lord Boss template, integrating them into the Specter Dragon Legion.
The Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion now boasted fifteen hundred Specter Dragons, and with each capable of using Replica Skills, it was equivalent to a terrifying legion of ten thousand Specter Dragon Lord Bosses.
The Bone Dragons took to the sky, Ghouls hid within the town's buildings, and the Skeleton Sea pervaded every corner of the town, even spreading beyond its borders.
Within the entire town, the numbers of the Undead Army exceeded 500,000!
As for the human troops handed over by the Lords to that person Zi, he sent Kulong to receive them and then directed this human army out of the town, stationed outside the East Gate of the castle.
Zi Liyuan had no intention of using this team for defending the town but planned to continue passing them to the other Lords.
Although it was an elite army, it didn't quite mesh well with the Undead Army.
There was no helping it; the undead belong to the race of Dead Spirits, shrouded in deathly and shadowy energies, negative forces which are ominous for living creatures.
If the two sides stayed together for too long, it could easily lead to sickness and other adverse conditions among the living.
Of course, if a living being were strong enough, it would naturally not be tainted by such deathly or shadowy energies.
"Spider Queen, you preside over the Council Hall for now, ensuring no one attempts to steal a march on us."
Having just obtained the "Heart of the Castle" information for this castle, an automatic, transparent Barrier would form to isolate any unauthorized person who attacked the Council Hall or entered without his permission.
However, the Barrier's strength was only one hundred million Health Points.
For fourth-tier peak Lords who had lifted the Realm Sea Seal, many had means to deal nearly a hundred million damage in one strike.
Therefore, without a strong presence, the Council Hall would always be a vulnerability.
Among those Zi Liyuan had brought with him, the Spider Queen and Xiao Guang were the strongest, yet Xiao Guang needed to reveal her true form—a spacecraft—to use many of its weapons.
And Xiao Guang's true form was a giant Spacecraft!
It was considerably larger than the castle itself, so naturally, she couldn't be the one to preside over the Council Hall.

"It takes a fortune to buy a horse's bones, but if you want to seize the position of Grand Lord, recruiting from the Blue Star Lords is indispensable. This time presents an opportunity, I just wonder how many have made up their minds."
With the vast scope of Area No. 10086 and its many resource points, it would certainly be overwhelming to develop on his own.
Only by recruiting a sufficient number of Blue Star Lords to collectively harness resources could he rapidly enhance the level of his Lord's Mansion.
The later stages required more materials for upgrading, and relying solely on himself to procure them would mean either constantly snatching from other Lords or collecting them until the end of time.
But by attracting a large group of Lords to serve him, a vast amount of resources could be collected swiftly.
The only concern now is the issue of loyalty.
At present, it's manageable. Blue Star Lords facing Alien Lords is a racial war, with very few traitors.
But once the Alien Lords are dealt with, infighting among the Blue Star Lords will certainly be a big problem.
At that time, the emergence of spies and traitors is highly likely.
So, these recruited Blue Star Lords are somewhat trustworthy for now, but they can't be fully trusted. It's essential to guard against them.
As these Blue Star Lords left, Zi Liyuan also stepped out of the Council Hall.
In front of the grand hall at the center of the castle was a vast square, conveniently used for summoning the spatial door. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire
As space tore open, the Undead Army began to enter in an orderly fashion.
The first to come through the spatial door were the Shadow Soul race.
Upon the arrival of the Shadow Soul Leader, Zi Liyuan issued orders immediately.
He sent out tens of thousands of Shadow Souls as scouts to probe and clear the nearby area of monsters.
They were to kill as many as they could without dying themselves.
If they encountered monsters or races of formidable power, they would return to call for reinforcements. The Specter Dragon Legion would deal with them.
Next to come out were Ghouls and Skeletons.
There were many Ghouls, but even more Skeletons flowed out like a flood, spreading rapidly to every part of the town.
The last to make their entrance, of course, were the Bone Dragons. Compared to Zi Liyuan's Specter Dragon Boss Legion, these Bone Dragons were also at the peak of the fourth tier, but mostly comprised of common creatures, although the lowest among them were rare units.
The reason for the scarcity of Bone Dragon Bosses was that Zi Liyuan had contracted most of the Bosses and used the Heart of the Lord to forcibly elevate them to Lord Boss templates, merging them into the Specter Dragon Legion.
The now-formed Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion already boasted fifteen hundred Specter Dragons, and with each one capable of using Replica Skills, it was effectively a horrifying army equivalent to ten thousand Specter Dragon Lord Bosses.
Bone Dragons took to the sky, Ghouls hid within the buildings of the town, and the Skeleton Sea filled every corner of the town, even stretching beyond it.
Inside the town, the number of the Undead Army exceeded 500,000+!
As for the human armies that the Lords had handed over to someone named Zi, he had sent Kulong to receive them, then immediately moved this human army out of the town to be stationed outside the East Gate of the castle.
Zi Liyuan had no intention of using this troop for city defense. Instead, he planned to throw them back to those Lords.
Although it was an elite army, it didn't mesh well with the Undead Army.
There was no helping it, as the Undead are deathbound creatures, emanating negative energies such as death and shadow aura, which are all ominous for the living.
If the two were to stay together for too long, it could easily lead to the living developing diseases and other special conditions.
Of course, if the living are strong enough, naturally, they won't be corrupted by death or shadow aura.
"Spider Queen, you take charge of the Council Hall and ensure no one tries to infiltrate our base."
Having just obtained the information of the Heart of the Castle of this fortress, the Council Hall would automatically form a transparent Barrier if it was attacked or entered by someone without his permission.
However, the strength of this Barrier is only one hundred million Health Points.
For a peak fourth-tier Lord who had lifted the Realm Sea Seal, there were many methods to deal a near billion damage in a single blow.
Therefore, without a powerful being guarding it, the Council Hall was always a potential vulnerability.
Among Zi Liyuan's recently arrived subordinates, the Spider Queen and Xiao Guang were the most formidable. However, Xiao Guang needed to reveal their true form as a Spacecraft to utilize many of their weapons.
And Xiao Guang's true form was a massive Spacecraft!
It was even larger than the castle itself, so naturally, they couldn't be stationed at the Council Hall.
