[Regional Channel]
Fun Guy: "So hard, just lost another minion to a monster ambush hiding in the grass."
Fun Guy: "After a whole day of clearing monsters, only got about 1,000 energy points worth of low-tier drops."
I Want Beast-Eared Girls: "You're lucky to clear any monsters at all, at least it's a positive gain."
I Want Beast-Eared Girls: "I had ten low-tier skeletons; most died to an elite monster quickly. After barely escaping, I ran into a monster nest."
I Want Beast-Eared Girls: "After wandering all day, I couldn't clear a single region and only got 400 energy points."
Autumn of Thoughts: "Jealous."
Slacker: "Isn't that the guy who got wiped out right after going out? How's it going now?"
Autumn of Thoughts: "Not good, just been hiding in the territory after grabbing some fruits to stave off hunger."
Repeater: "Sounds terrible."
Autumn of Thoughts: "???"
Autumn of Thoughts: "Why so calm? Didn't you say you got wiped out too?"
Repeater: "Yes, but I joined Wang Qiang's 'Awesome Alliance'."
Fun Guy: "That alliance that demands total obedience?"
Repeater: "Don't know if it's a trap, but Wang Qiang sent me three days of food after I got wiped out. Feels good, no need to risk going out."
Civilized Person: "A little benefit for a fool's trust, nice. Truly a fool's alliance."
You Can Also Become Light: "Hey, let's chat privately?"
Civilized Person: "What, you Wang Qiang's dog too?"
You Can Also Become Light: "No, just share your view and want to ally."
Civilized Person: "Okay, add me."
...
Elsewhere, Su Wu was opening chests and received a message from Wang Qiang.
"Exclusion?"
Re-examining, Su Wu hesitated before replying: "You mean the alliance hasn't formally formed, but those already in it started resisting others joining?"
"Not exactly that bad."
Wang Qiang explained: "It's more like fishing."
"Per your request, our contract states each reported resisting lord coordinate rewards 1,000 energy points after seven days."
"You know, some members became fanatics after seeing your minion's strength."
"They stir up resistance against the alliance in regional chat."
"Then they pair up—one shows as alliance member, the other targets the resisters, privately adds them, and tricks them into revealing coordinates."
"Successful?" Su Wu asked.
"So far very successful."
Wang Qiang reported: "Just today I've gathered over a thousand hostile lord coordinates."
He wasn't worried Su Wu couldn't handle them but feared Su Wu starting too late might mean coordinates become invalid if the lords' heartstones are destroyed prematurely.
"That would be a loss."
"Don't worry."
After opening the last chest per Holy Judgment prompt, Su Wu replied: "I understand."
"Don't fear the cost, my progress is smoother than expected."
"Let those people run wild tonight; tomorrow the plan officially enters phase two."
...
After brief instructions, Su Wu closed the chat window.
Seeing energy points rise to 90,000, he smiled.
As he said, those unwilling to obey won't last much longer.
Approaching the Undead Altars outside the village, Su Wu opened recruitment interfaces of six level 1 Undead Altars simultaneously.
[Holy Judgment triggered successfully.]
[Option 1: After 4 seconds, consume all recruitment slots to recruit 60 elite skeleton archers.]
[Option 2: After 11 seconds, consume...]
...
Perhaps due to reaching 90 Prestige Points, the chance to recruit higher-grade troops from level 1 buildings shortened considerably.
Su Wu again chose skeleton knights.
Level 1 buildings have limited recruitment slots.
After consuming all slots in six Undead Altars, Su Wu recruited 30 skeleton knights.
"Upgrade Undead Altar."
[Command acknowledged, starting upgrade.]
[Building upgrade detected, Paradise Creation activated, accelerating upgrade speed.]
[Undead Altar upgrade successful, automatically deducting 3,000 energy points.]
...
Spending 18,000 energy points, Su Wu upgraded six level 1 Undead Altars.
At level 2, each Undead Altar can recruit 10 lord-tier skeleton knights.
With seven level 2 Undead Altars, Su Wu recruited 70 lord-tier skeleton knights after recruitment cooldown.
From the ground, Su Wu watched the number of skeleton knights break three digits with a satisfied smile.
His skeleton knight corps was finally taking shape.
