Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 2166: Laying the Foundation

The Giant Dragon Clan is not very close to this location, and a round trip would take at least two months. Du You has no intention of wasting this time. When their city lord leaves with the items, Du You’s army also begins to take action.

The army starts by surrounding the cities that have united from the outside.

Important traffic junctions are guarded by undead creatures, ready to notify others at any moment.

Even if someone at the eighth tier passes through, they can generally be tracked.

Next, due to the opponent’s poor communication, Du You launches an attack on these cities simultaneously.

A large number of eighth-tier undead creatures forcibly break in, while Du You’s doppelganger team has manufactured special bombs during this time. These divine power bombs are thrown directly, instantly destroying the special defenses inside the city.

Without these defenses, the battle is almost like a field battle. Since the opponent is not very skilled in using their power, they are easily defeated when outnumbered.

"What a pity, too much loss," Du You says, shaking his head as he reviews the report.

There’s no other way; because of his attack on the opponents’ cities, the battle had to take place within the cities. Coupled with the opponents’ poor control over power, the aftermath was significant.

Although the enemies were neutralized in the shortest time, the battle’s backlash still damaged parts of the unprotected city. The most important aspect, of course, was the population, which suffered heavy casualties in the city center.

With so many casualties, it’s hard for Du You not to feel the loss. To build more cities, one cannot rely solely on the civilians he produces; native inhabitants must also settle there.

It seems more time will be needed for population growth. Du You shakes his head, seeing it as an unavoidable issue.

However, after this war, he has completely conquered this region.

"Master, now that we have a base on the surface, the next step is the underground."

Du You thinks for a moment and then nods, "You’re right. The underground should be ready. Let’s start taking territories and establish more cities. Also, we can clear out those eighth and seventh-tier magical beasts nearby."

The delay in clearing the underground was not due to a lack of military power but because it was a wilderness that required city-building for occupation. Moreover, the underground world is special and requires protection by powerful beings.

Du You does not want to waste so much manpower, so he decided to conquer the surface first temporarily.

Now that the surface is occupied, the underground cannot be neglected.

After the two sisters’ research, now two eighth-tier Dark Elves have completely controlled their murderous aura and can exhibit even stronger combat power, being very obedient and unlikely to betray.

Therefore, these two are mainly busy in the underground area.

After giving the orders, the underground world also began its activities. A large number of eighth-tier undead who participated in previous battles have all moved underground, beginning an even more brutal expansion than on the surface.

As for the surface issues, now it’s necessary to stabilize the populace and then repair the cities.

Although these people have nowhere else to go and can only remain here, Du You does not want them living in constant fear. He aims to control this area, not destroy it entirely.

After some time organizing, people gradually found that the undead creatures weren’t as terrifying as they seemed.

At the very least, these undead do not slaughter indiscriminately or turn people into undead. Instead, they work tirelessly and are the best workers.

As time passed, some people gradually began to accept these undead creatures.

Even the cultivation methods for undead professions that Du You deliberately disseminated were accepted by many. Although this world has a high level, not everyone has the qualifications to cultivate. Most are ordinary people with only basic low-level cultivation methods, which can barely be considered as exercise.

So once they discover a cultivation method that suits them, especially one that leads to higher stages through secret methods, they wouldn’t give it up. Even if it’s the path of an Undead Mage, they are willing to try.

Thus, in less than a month, the cities on the surface mostly stabilized.

"It seems we still need to cultivate some eighth-tier strong beings of normal biological races to prevent them from thinking we are purely an undead system," Du You concluded after scanning several cities with his spiritual power. Currently, the people are still somewhat unsettled about their living area.

The reason is simple: at the seventh and eighth tiers, they are predominantly undead, and at the eighth tier, there are only undead creatures.

Some seventh-tier individuals have surrendered, but they are in a constant state of anxiety, fearing they might be made into undead creatures someday. Such thoughts trickle down from the top to affect those below them.

Ordinary people are more inclined to trust strong individuals of their own kind rather than believe what the undead say.

Du You felt helpless, as it was an unavoidable issue. "Although we have created doppelgangers with these people, cultivation to the eighth tier still takes time," Lin Yucha shrugged.

It’s not that they don’t want to; even though they don’t pay much attention to the eighth tier, getting doppelgangers to cultivate to eighth tier still requires considerable time. Even with methods to shorten the time and potential overextension, it’s not feasible.

In a short few months, reaching the eighth tier from a weaker strength is beyond Du You’s ability. Even accelerating those without further potential takes several or even more than ten years. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Forget it, let’s take it slow. The next steps include the underground Lizardman and the Giant Dragon Clan. I don’t know how strong the Giant Dragon Clan in this world is, but we cannot underestimate them."

The two sisters exchanged looks, also feeling a bit helpless, as their own strength is at the ninth tier.

If they made a move, taking down those from the Dragon Clan would be easy, but Du You insists on using his subordinates for the attacks, seemingly addicted to this mode. Although his strength is clearly much greater than the opponents, Du You’s focus is merely on minimizing losses. This has always been his style, evaluating based on how minimal his losses are.

Nevertheless, let’s go along with the master’s plans. After all, the role of the two is simply to assist the master in everything.
