The arrival of the Undead Army and the preparation of various defense mechanisms had transformed Authority Town into a fortress.
As time passed, a burst of golden light tore through the spatial barriers.
From the rift, a level 10 Lord's Mansion appeared and settled ten miles outside the castle's east wall.
With the arrival of the first Blue Star Lord, subsequently every few minutes, another level 10 Lord's Mansion arrived.
Each mansion was neatly arranged around the castle, limited to within ten miles.
Clearly, these adherent Blue Star Lords had already coordinated their positions well.
Twenty-one Lords, not a single one missing, all had transferred their Lord's Mansions to the location designated by a certain Zi Liyuan.
"My Lord, we have not failed in our duty. All 21 Lords have relocated."
It was still the original representative.
"Good, what's your name?"
Scanning the 21 Lords, Zi Liyuan had begun to trust them at a basic level.
"My name is Wan Xing."
"The human garrison stationed outside the East Gate will be temporarily under your command. Your subjects will soon arrive; you should know what to do."
Through the projection spells of the Wraith Mage, Zi Liyuan naturally observed the process of these Lords relocating.
Unfortunately, they couldn't take the massive amount of materials and the vast number of subjects with them. They had to rely on the transport of the Spectral Dragon army.
Given the enormous size of the Spectral Dragons, transporting materials and subjects was not difficult.
In just a few hours, rows of Spectral Dragon transports flew back.
How to soothe the frightened subjects was no longer Zi Liyuan's concern.
However, these Lords were not incompetent; they quickly pacified their subjects and began establishing defensive mechanisms.
Twenty-one Lords each built a section of a wall and connected them to form a gigantic new wall encircling the castle.
Essentially, each Lord had thousands of subjects.
With 21 Lords, that accounted for over 20,000 subjects working together to build the wall. With adequate materials, the wall was constructed very quickly. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
These Lords divided the work clearly—some led the subjects in building the wall, while others led a smaller number to construct other defensive structures, like watchtowers.
"Master, there are several Shadow Souls in the same place, disintegrated in an instant."
While Zi Liyuan watched the bustling scene outside the castle, a spectral figure appeared behind him.
A scene was conveyed through the Spirit; it was just five hundred miles from the castle.
"Alas, given the exploration capabilities of Shadow Souls, the probability of encountering an Alien Lord is virtually zero."
Anything capable of instantly destroying a Shadow Soul was numerous within the Boundary Sea.
But being only five hundred miles from Authority Town, it could only possibly be an Alien Lord.
Because within this distance, any formidable monsters or groups had already been cleared by the Spectral Dragon army.
"Deliberately exposing one's location leaves only two possibilities: either to distract and lure the master there, or to execute a feint that draws strength away from the castle."
Dilys leaned against Zi Liyuan, speaking enticingly.
"Simply ignore it."
Now, the main focus was to set up defenses to ensure the security of the castle.
As for those Alien Lords, if they dared to attack the castle directly, Zi Liyuan guaranteed they would not return!
Dividing forces was not an option at the moment.
After all, any Lord who entered the Sea of Realms and upgraded their Lord's Mansion to level 10, having unlocked the Realm Sea Seal, possessed powerful final measures that could kill a few Specter Dragon Lord Bosses.
Zi Liyuan certainly did not want his Spectral Dragon army to die in vain, reducing their numbers.
Even though this creature could not be killed, resurrecting and restoring it to its peak with new dragon bones consumed considerable resources.
"Inform Kulong to have the Spectral Dragon itself avoid this area, and use the Replicas to launch an assault."
Losing the Replicas was acceptable since they could be resummoned in an hour.
Additionally, the quantity sent each time was not small; it was enough to consume a wave of those meddling in the shadows.
Zi Liyuan simply wanted to probe and see how many people would show up.
Currently, he was the common enemy of all Alien Lords in New World No. 99. In a bid to seize his ruling power over Area No. 10086, many would certainly be dispatched to impede him.
It could be said that this was a life-or-death battle and both sides could use any means at their disposal.
Thus, Zi Liyuan definitely wouldn't walk into a trap and hand over his head.
...
"By exposing ourselves intentionally, can we really lure out the forces Zi Liyuan has sent to investigate?"
"Whether they are dispatched or not doesn't matter; he certainly knows an attack is coming."
More than a dozen Alien Lords sat in a cave, the entrance of which was covered by a Barrier, rendering the cave invisible from the outside.
"Gib, let's just follow the orders from above. Ultimately, we're just pawns."
Laying near the cave entrance, a dwarf gnawed on a lamb leg and casually spoke.
"Heh, we Wanderers and Mercenaries are just meant to be cannon fodder."
"If you survive and return, you'll get a 'Heart of the Lord' as a reward. Didn't you join just for that?"
"People from major families can't renege this time as they are bound by the Realm Sea Contract; otherwise, how could they have gathered so many Wanderers and Mercenaries?"
"Given the lavish reward, plenty of desperados are willing to try."
The arrival of the Undead Army and various defensive preparations had transformed the entirety of Authority Town into a fortified fortress.
As time passed, a streak of golden light split the spatial barriers.
A level 10 Lord's Mansion emerged from the spatial rift, settling ten miles outside the East Wall of the castle.
Following the arrival of the first Blue Star Lord, roughly every ten to twenty minutes saw a level 10 Lord's Mansion descending.
Within a ten-mile radius, each Lord's Mansion was neatly arranged around the fortress.
Apparently, these allied Blue Star Lords had prearranged their positions.
Twenty-one Lords, not a single one missing, had all relocated their Lords' Mansions to the location specified by Zi Liyuan.
"My Lord, mission accomplished, all 21 Lords have relocated."
The same initial representative handled the report.
"Very well, what is your name?"
Surveying the 21 Lords, Zi Liyuan felt a basic trust in them.
"My name is Wan Xing."
"The human garrison stationed outside the East Gate will temporarily be under your command. Your Subjects will arrive soon; you should know what to do."
Through the Wraith Mage's projection Spells, Zi Liyuan naturally observed the relocation process of these Lords.
Unfortunately, the resources and the vast number of Subjects they couldn't take with them had to be transported by the Spectral Dragon Army.
However, given the massive size of the Spectral Dragons, transporting resources and Subjects wasn't difficult.
Within a couple of hours, rows of Spectral Dragon transporters flew back.
It was no longer Zi Liyuan's concern how the frightened Subjects should be comforted.
These Lords weren't pushovers; they quickly calmed the Subjects and began establishing defensive measures.
Each of the 21 Lords built a section of the wall, eventually connecting them to form a massive new city wall encircling the fortress.
Each Lord's number of Subjects reached into the thousands.
With 21 Lords, this amounted to over 20,000 Subjects, all working together in building the wall. Given sufficient resources, the wall was constructed very quickly.
The Lords were clear on their roles: some led Subjects in building walls while others, with a few Subjects, constructed other defensive structures like arrow towers.
"Master, there are a dozen Shadow Souls, gone in an instant."
