Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

```

[Land of the Dead] underwent a territory cleansing, with all the lords within the territory combined numbering no more than five hundred.

Moreover, all these lords were recruited by Zi Liyuan and collectively placed on the outskirts of the [Death Castle].

Using the territories of these lords to guard the [Death Castle].

In just three days, as many as twenty-one replica space gates stood tall on the square outside the Council Hall of the [Death Castle].

It can be said that within the scope of the [Land of the Dead], all the replicas discovered were conquered by Zi Liyuan and transplanted into the [Death Castle].

These replicas are open to the recruited Blue Star Lords, though they need to turn over a portion of their gains.

Not much, just a quarter of the Monster Recruitment Cards obtained in each replica.

As for other resources obtained, there is no need to turn them over.

Of course, these Blue Star Lords who pledged allegiance to Zi Liyuan are required to pay a fifth of their income in materials every week.

The taxes are somewhat heavy, but they are allowed to develop all the resource points within the [Land of the Dead].

The monster tribes within the entire [Land of the Dead] are also required to pay taxes.

After Zi Liyuan led the Spectral Dragon Corps and wiped out over a dozen tribes who, relying on their strength, wanted to negotiate conditions, each monster tribe became quite amiable.

For these monster tribes, Zi Liyuan not only demands a weekly quarter of their material yields but also requires them to dispatch personnel to form a corps to serve him.

Instead of stationing these composed corps within the [Death Castle], Zi Liyuan sends them to patrol all resource points in the [Land of the Dead] to ensure undisturbed resource development.

The Heavenly Dao of the Sea of Realms often refreshes with chaotic monsters whose wills are confused, making them impossible to communicate with; they only destroy indiscriminately and especially trigger a desire to kill when they see living beings.

The only way to deal with these chaotic monsters is to exterminate them.

As for whether the patrol teams suffer heavy losses, that’s none of Zi Liyuan’s concern.

He provides the funds; they risk their lives. If they die, that’s that, and he can just recruit more.

To these monster tribes, that’s all it is.

They are merely tools; they don’t sincerely submit to him but rather fear his might, so they have no choice but to capitulate.

After three days of territory integration, Zi Liyuan handed over the management to Fan Yuer. He then boarded Xiao Guang and charged toward Shen Yurou’s territory.

Long before Zi Liyuan became a target, Shen Yurou and Lord Two’s relationship with him had been exposed by a traitor.

Lord Two’s territory development has been relatively aggressive.

Even before leveling up her Lord’s Mansion to LV10, she had already started a hunting mode, effectively clearing out all surrounding lords, whether they were Alien Lords or Blue Star Lords.

It can be said that using the Blood River Demon Soul Array, before the Lord’s Mansion reached LV10, she had cleared one-tenth of the vicinity.

When Zi Liyuan provided her with resources and the Lord’s Mansion reached LV10, she went all out on a killing spree.

The Blood River turned into a vast torrential flood, and demon souls surged skyward, blocking the sky and wreaking havoc on the earth.

A Blood River spanned the entire regional territory, slaughtering numerous lords in the area who fled in panic.

Lord Two is much more ruthless than Zi Liyuan. Any Blue Star Lord who did not kneel and surrender was slaughtered entirely, becoming nourishment in the Blood River Demon Soul Array.

Now, Lord Two has essentially cleansed the regional lords, just waiting for the central Authority Town to manifest so she can occupy it.

On the other hand, Shen Yurou’s territory, while very well-developed, was not alone in quickly leveling the Lord’s Mansion to LV10 in her area.

Compared to Lord Two, who relied on a Life-bound Grand Array to suppress all regional lords and fight through the entire area by force.

Shen Yurou lagged behind significantly in terms of top-level combat power.

The mechanical army reproduced massively, with large quantities of low-intelligence mechanical dogs of 1~3 tiers, equipped with various models of firearms, sweeping across the region.

It can be said that as long as there are ores, soldiers can be continuously reproduced.

With Zi Liyuan as a backer, a steady supply of ore resources ensures the mechanical army snowballs in size constantly.

However, Shen Yurou’s luck is a bit unfortunate. @@novelbin@@

In her region, there arose an Alien Lord of the summoning class, whose Evil God aura was previously sensed by the Spider Queen, creating it.

Leveraging the Evil God’s power, this lord continuously summoned chaotic monsters to directly confront Shen Yurou head-on.

It was a clash of evenly matched opponents, engaging in a relentless tug-of-war.

However, the lack of top-level combat power left Shen Yurou at a disadvantage in several large-scale battles.

If not for the mechanical army’s advantage in numbers barely holding the line, and with both sides at a stalemate, the frontline might have been broken through already.

In the stalemate, a third-party Alien Lord intervened!

This was a force targeting Shen Yurou, with clear objectives intending to end her life, including several lords whose Lord’s Mansions had reached LV10, breaching the Sea of Realms’ blockade.

Had Shen Yurou not fortified her territory to resemble an iron cage, withstanding the surprise attack by these Alien Lords, her Lord’s Mansion might have met its doom.

Having suffered a substantial setback, the nearly half-conquered regional territory had to halt expansion and contract the front lines, with the mechanical army withdrawing back.
