The Rise of the Cemetery

(This is the third update today. Thanks to Yixian Guangda for the red envelope reward)

With many saint-level undead sitting in town, the safety of Death Valley has finally been effectively guaranteed.

After another batch of zombie laborers were sent, Death Valley began a difficult recovery and reconstruction. The damaged military buildings still need to be restored one by one. In order to make room for the later construction, the entire valley needs to be thoroughly cleaned up and leveled.

Almost instantly, Death Valley became the site of a gigantic cemetery. Countless zombies, skeletons, and abominations came across the portal, and they became one of the many cemetery construction forces.

Several cemetery executives who were familiar with the wizarding world were summoned by Li Xun to discuss the expansion of the large cemetery here. As the future master of the wizarding world, Karthus is the undisputed subject in this discussion, and all issues are dominated by him.

But the first question that needs to be discussed is, what can the Necropolis obtain from this plane?

The necropolis' brazen invasion of the wizarding world was not for tourism, let alone for Karthus. Since the Great Cemetery has paid so much, it must obtain sufficient compensation from the Wizarding World.

population? soul? The big cemetery doesn't bother to do such a thing of fishing in a dry lake. But resources, treasures, knowledge, species... these are the things that the Great Cemetery really cares about.

Although the large cemetery is now spread out, it still lacks a comprehensive and orderly resource collection system. A force that only knows how to fight is not a well-functioning system! For a stable and orderly development, strong logistical support is essential.

In the past, large cemeteries relied more on wars to support wars, and could not use expanded wars to maintain the increasingly huge demand for resources. Although this is very simple and fast, and it also conforms to the character traits of most cemetery heroes who violently seize everything, it is okay to fight with the wind. Once a major setback occurs, it is easy to fall into an unsustainable dilemma.

This situation is very clear when you go to the market in the large cemetery.

It is filled with all kinds of spoils after the great war and all kinds of strange and strange things of unknown origin. Large quantities of stable and rare resources are still in short supply.

In order to significantly change this status quo, the Great Cemetery must establish a complete set of effective resource collection system, which can continuously draw rich nutrients from the conquered and occupied major planes to support The dignitaries of the cemetery that have already begun to show signs.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Karthus' task will become increasingly difficult. In addition to completing the initial construction of Death Valley as soon as possible, it is necessary to first find out the current distribution of resources in the entire wizarding world, and point out the detailed points for the planar strategy of the cemetery army in the later stage.

Even Karthus needs to contact the leader of the dark wizard right now to see if he can win an "alliance" from the native forces.

What the Great Cemetery needs is a beautiful plane with many living beings and rich species that can continuously provide various scarce resources, rather than a death plane that is riddled with holes and decaying day by day. At this point, Li Xun is confident that he will take a unique and balanced development route, so that the cemetery can get rid of the original shackles of the undead, the enemy of all living beings.

During this period, Li Xun also tried, and the wizarding world simply couldn't accommodate the entry of the legend of the cemetery. For this reason, it even almost blew up the portal that had just stabilized. Skeleton King was slammed into the boundary membrane of the wizarding world while being cut miserably by thousands of space debris. If it wasn't for the Mage Tower of the Undercity to pull him back in time, I'm afraid he was destined to wander in an unknown alien plane for a long time.

This also dispelled Li Xun's original plan to use the three legends of the cemetery to quickly flatten many resistance forces, and he could only leave 8 holy-rank undead in Death Valley. As the person in charge of this plane, Karthus has the right to dispatch these 8 holy-order undead. However, as an undead who has always been rebellious, how to appease and win over these lawless guys will also greatly test Karthus' political wisdom!

After preliminarily arranging the later affairs of the Wizarding World, Li Xun returned directly to Klein's plane without staying there. After all, the world of wizards is just one of the many battlefields in the Great Cemetery. As the owner of the cemetery, Li Xun can't possibly snatch the demeanor and merits of the heroes of the cemetery. Therefore, knowing people and making good use of them is his only choice.

As for rolling up your sleeves and kissing the battlefield to dominate the plane, just think about such a rough job. If you really want to do it, you should wait until the day when the cemetery is driven to a dead end to experience it!

In Li Xun's impression, most of the guys who liked to fight in person from ancient times to the present did not end well. They either died in battle or caught fire in the rear. This is the fate of hand head dystopia!

After returning to the Isidil Arcane Tower, Li Xun hastily dealt with the urgent government affairs sent from the city lords of the cemetery, and then began to deal with Xiris' request.

As a special cemetery "hero" who has a blood feud with the Undead Council, Siris volunteered to guard the "Mars City". Li Xun had always refused to grant this request, thinking that she should focus on improving her rank, but the recent situation has changed, which made Li Xun reconsider the rationality of Siris's request.

After experiencing the first "both-lose" undead civil war, both the Necropolis and the Undead Council began to become more cautious, unwilling to easily provoke a full-scale military confrontation. Under the influence of this kind of thinking, the possibility of the two sides investing in legendary combat power to fight becomes extremely low.

Therefore, this gave the mid-to-low-level cemetery "heroes" like Siris a lot of opportunities.

As long as the scale of the war is well grasped and the tight strings of the Undead Council are not touched, local small fights will become a normal state instead. Both sides need this level of war to maintain internal activity and tension, and the undead war, which is not painful or itchy, has already started again.

At this time, Siris went to sit in the corpse tomb demon Mars, which would definitely have great benefits for her own strength improvement, and she could also ruthlessly pounce on the Undead Council and bite a few times to vent her chest suffocation. So thinking about it this way, it is a good idea with no harm at all.

After thinking about it, Li Xun signed the decree, sending Siris and Little Jack to Mars City, and approved the two holy-rank undead to be stationed there. As long as these two holy-rank undead exist, the other party will not be able to shake the city of Mars without sending out the legendary lich. Given the current situation in Klein Continent, the United Council of the Undead really does not have this kind of courage and strength.

It can be seen that the Undead Council is now determined to find a breakthrough in the Principality of Novus and avoid the frontal edge of the Great Cemetery. Therefore, there is a high tolerance for wanton provocations in the city of Mars in the short term.

After dealing with Siris, Li Xun began to seriously examine the Warcraft Continent battlefield again.

There, the newly emerging Yinfeng City used its defensive advantages to crush the challenges from the druid group. It is said that there is also a regional warcraft lord mixed in. Therefore, just after the period of weakness, and the basic force of Yinfeng City has just completed its first expansion, the two Lords of Yinfeng City made an ambitious expedition plan, aiming at the druid lair far away on the other side of the mainland——Emerald dream.

It can be seen that the two Yinfeng City Lords are playing leapfrog tactics, intending to take advantage of the fact that the Cemetery Legion does not need supplies or logistical support, and fight all the way to the Emerald Dream.

This can not only attract the hatred of most potential enemies in Warcraft Continent to him, buy time for Yinfeng City's subsequent slow colonization of territories, but also complete the basic idea of ​​​​the Great Cemetery to support wars and soldiers with wars.

After listening to the dracolich's careful and detailed comments, Li Xun finally nodded and approved the battle plan of Yinfeng City, and divided the remaining 7 holy undead into two, 5 followed the expeditionary army to attack the Emerald Dream, 2 The one who stayed behind in Yinfeng City kept its foundation.

After this emergency dispatch, the holy rank soldiers who had just been acquired a few days ago were completely exhausted. However, in this way, the three cemetery forward bases that have always been in the midst of chaotic wars have also become extremely stable. Li Xun no longer has to worry about waking up and the bad news that a certain advanced base has been taken over by someone as he did some time ago.

Now Li Xun can finally free up his hands to do something that interests him.

After listening to the previous report of the dracolich Uzel, Li Xun finally understood the whole cause and effect of the "Dragon Heart" treasure robbery case. Obviously, that mysterious legendary thief committed such a shocking crime for a life twig less than half a meter long.

The twigs of life are picked from the green branches of the ancient tree of life.

According to legend, only natural races such as druids, forest guardians, and dryads can pick life twigs and leaves with life force in certain prayer ceremonies. For other races, even if some branches and leaves are forcibly broken from the ancient tree of life, the source power will be lost quickly and become ordinary items.

So this kind of natural treasure imbued with the source of life is almost hard to see from the outside world.

And this twig of life was captured by the dracolich Digson from the battlefield of Yinfeng City. According to Uzel's speculation, it should be a druid with a higher status intending to use it to make a top-level staff of nature, so he always carries it with him. It's a pity that in the battle of Yinfeng City, the lamp was extinguished after death, and such a rare treasure was inexplicably lost to the hands of a dracolich in the cemetery.

It's a pity that something like the source of life is undoubtedly the top-level magical item for intelligent creatures, and it can have an extremely powerful effect of changing fate against the sky. But for the undead, they are not stingy with highly toxic suicide medicine.

Digson, who accidentally got the twig of life, added it to the list of reward items out of boredom.

This may be the real reason that triggered the legendary thief to make a move!
