He continued to activate the altar, opening the spatial channel, and summoned over a portion of the mbers under his command with whom he had communicated in advance.
Next, it was the turn of the other three sisters from the Fan Family: Fan Runer, Fan Binger, and Fan Qinger.
First, he brought over his won, followed by the talents he had recruited early on in Blue Star.
In total, twelve Thunderbirds were all sacrificed by Zi Liyuan into the altar.
Twelve individuals were recruited in total. Aside from Sikong You and the Fan Family Four Sisters, the remaining seven were all life profession practitioners.
Four chanics, two Forging Masters, and one Array Master.
The chanical enhancent of production efficiency was naturally higher than the Skeletons laboring endlessly for twenty-four hours with their fragile ribs.
The Forging Masters were there to work in conjunction with the chanics, supplying various tal ingots and parts so that the chanics could craft all kinds of machinery and lathes, right?
The Array Master was there for territory construction, especially for establishing walls and castles.
The monsters within the Sea of Realms were not to be underestimated; ordinary walls would surely not withstand their attacks on the territory.
Only walls engraved with formation patterns and forming defensive formations could resist monster sieges.
Any city without a protective formation could be attacked stealthily at any mont; the destruction of the Lord’s Mansion would likely spell doom for the entire city.
With the addition of these seven individuals, the construction of the territory, especially the accumulation of materials, would be greatly strengthened.
After all, these chanics had been trained by Xiao Guang and Xiao Yurou back on Blue Star, and were capable of successfully crafting simple, basic intelligent robots.
Though these were only basic intelligences, they were still a notch smarter than the White Jade Skeletons sacrificed.
Not to ntion, Xiao Guang could transfer various chanical control knowledge to them within the territory.
The two Forging Masters and four chanics imdiately started working in the newly established smithy.
Using the materials card brought from Blue Star, although the resources for upgrading the Lord’s Mansion to Level 11 might be lacking, there certainly wouldn’t be a shortage of common various tal ingots.
The two Forging Masters began forging various parts according to the demands of the four chanics.
anwhile, the Array Master headed straight for the nearby Lord’s Mansion. With the territory still at Level 10, the most important building was, of course, the Lord’s Mansion.
Even with millions of hit points, it still required extra attention, so he decided to first engrave a protective formation on the outer walls of the Lord’s Mansion.
Multiple layers of protection were really necessary!
As for Lord Zi, he entered the Lord’s Mansion with the Fan Family Four Sisters in his arms.
Having labored for so many days without a wink of sleep, now with the beautiful won in his embrace, wasn’t it ti to enjoy and rest well?
The 5X5 ter bed, specially made after the upgrade of the Lord’s Mansion, finally welcod its masters at this mont.
The only issue was that the battle on it was a little too intense, almost shaking the bed to pieces.
At the sa ti, in the forests outside the territory, dozens of insects suddenly appeared in the underground caves concealed beneath the ground.
These insects, small as human heads and large ones standing over two ters tall, moved rapidly through the underground caves with limbs like blades.
In their ruby-like compound eyes shone a greedy desire for food.
As these insects erged, the caves close to the surface began to fill up with them.
The smaller insects kept climbing over each other, quickly pushing through the soil above, erging into the forest outside.
Hiding in the underbrush and the shadows of large trees, they watched the Little Skeleton Subjects gathering resources around them. Their blood-colored compound eyes were filled with a frantic murderous intent.
Yet this murderous intent had only just erged when it suddenly vanished, as if suppressed by so will.
"Human Lord, so many Undead auras, and even a Lord Boss flying through the sky from ti to ti. To hunt the Lord, it seems we mustn’t expose ourselves," they thought.
```
A consciousness murmured to itself within the mind of an insect that had appeared on the surface, and then in the next mont, it vanished without a trace.
The insects that crawled to the forest on the earth’s surface seed unfazed by the voices emanating from their heads as if it were nothing unusual; they quickly dispersed, climbing towards the nearby trees and soon disappeared into the canopies.
Within a certain underground passage, a yellow-brown whirlpool slowly spun, with rice-sized beetles crawling out intermittently and then rapidly burrowing into other tunnel passages, disappearing from sight.
Countless insects burrowed underground, and under the direction of a certain will, they gradually dug the tunnels toward the land where the Purple Abyss Territory lay.
The digging speed of these insects was undeniably fast, taking them just a few short hours to progress from the forest to the vicinity of the newly erected city walls.
However, seemingly following the command of a certain existence, the insects didn’t dig into the territory from below the city walls, but instead excavated around the walls to both sides.
Clearly, the entity commanding the insects was quite familiar with the Sea of Realms Lord’s territory.
Knowing that an invasion into the Lord’s land would raise alarm and expose the presence of the insects, it chose not to enter the territory, but to frantically dig tunnels at a few ters distance from the periter of the land.
The territory at night was brightly illuminated by the Illumination Towers, leaving no dark corners; the black mist only appeared a hundred ters above and beyond the edge of the domain.
The ghosts that usually erged in the dead black mist each night were unusually quiet, all of them hiding out of sight.
In the sky, only the occasional small squadrons of Spectral Dragon Bosses flew past.
At this mont, with no threats to damage the territory, Zi Liyuan managed to sleep through a rare mont of strenuous physical labor.
...
First layer of the Sea of Realms, Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.
The grand palace was brightly lit as Kang Mazuo sat in the Dragon Hall, sweeping his gaze over his descendants seated before him, his eyes revealing a murderous glint especially when he looked at the last seated woman dressed like a queen.
"The erosion of the Coalition of Nations is getting worse, with nearly half of our dynasty’s territory already in their hands. Tell , how should we stop them?
In the dynasty’s territories under our control, one third are also showing so worrying signs, related to the four Ancient Empires of the realm above. How should we face this?
Over the past century, the three large territories that we’ve assimilated have been superficially obedient while secretly resisting. Our people from the dynasty can’t get a foothold. Any ideas on how to turn the situation around?"
Every question he posed weighed heavily on the minds of the kings present, causing their heads to involuntarily bow lower.
Especially the queen at the last seat, who dodged his gaze, not daring to make eye contact with Kang Mazuo at the head of the room.
The Wild Boar Skin Dynasty atop Blue Star had collapsed under her rule, after which she had cajoled millions of troops to abandon over a billion citizens and escape into the Sea of Realms.
It was only through the effort of millions of professionals that they carved their way out of Novice Village, at the cost of millions of casualties from their army.
After integrating into the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, if it weren’t for the 3 million professional troops under her control, Kang Mazuo would have probably subjected her to a torturous execution without a mont’s hesitation.
Even now, after nearly a hundred years, she continued to be targeted and suppressed by the other party.
But as for confronting the barbarians of the Coalition of Nations, that was out of the question!
And the movents of the four Ancient Empires and the new lords of the assimilated territories? None of her concern!
Within the Sea of Realms’ Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, she wasn’t in charge. As long as it didn’t fall, she would enjoy life as she pleased!
Let Kang Mazuo deal with any issues. She had given up, so don’t co looking for her!
And as for the control of the 3 million professional troops Kang Mazuo coveted? She would never relinquish that!
Holding onto this army, she could continue to live in comfort. The mont she gave it up, likely her head would roll as a gracious death!
The number of people who wanted her dead was legion.
Kang Mazuo stared at the tempting woman, wishing he could eat her flesh alive, but he couldn’t!
The Wild Boar Skin Dynasty was rotting at its core, particularly under the targeted oppression of several alien races, resulting in heavy casualties among the professional troops.
At such a ti, if internal strife were to break out, the entire dynasty could be at risk of collapse.
