Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

```

Building a Lord's Mansion of a newly established territory from LV0 to LV10 was no problem at all.

"These cards are for you. Once you've recruited them, they will serve as the defensive force of the territory."

Zi Liyuan instructed while pulling out a stack of unit summoning cards from the space column.

Indeed, these were the Human Race special first to fourth-tier unit summoning cards, a reward from the Heavenly Dao of the Sea of Realms for becoming the first King of the Region, totaling 100 cards.

Altogether there were four special Human Race units, each with 100 summoning cards.

First-tier special human unit—the Halberdier.

This unit consisted of heavily armed infantry wielding halberds, all in standard Boss templates, with each card able to recruit 100 men.

Second-tier special human unit—the Crossbowman.

This unit consisted of light armor infantry armed with crossbows, all in elite Boss templates, with each card capable of recruiting 50 men.

Third-tier special human unit—the Camp Intruder.

This unit consisted of heavily armored infantry wielding spears, halberds, swords, and shields, all in rare Boss templates, with each card recruiting 20 men.

Fourth-tier special human unit—the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.

This unit consisted of heavily armored cavalry wielding halberds, swords, and crossbows, all in hero Boss templates, with each card allowing the recruitment of 10 men.

All four special human units originated from the Ancient Han Empire in the history of the Great Xia Empire.

These were truly elite forces, top-tier at the same level and quality.

This was also the terrifying aspect of the Sea of Realms; it could allow each race to summon powerful corps from their own history.

Moreover, the soldiers in these corps, like heroic spirits, not only retained their combat awareness from life but were also digitized by the Sea of Realms.

With four fully-staffed Boss legions, there was absolutely no problem guaranteeing the safety of Fan Qinger's territory at this stage.

"Liu Yiqing, lead your squad along with five hundred Specter Dragon Lord Bosses and scour the entire 1,000 kilometers around Fan Qinger's territory in the Underworld for me!"

The exact situation in the Underworld was unknown to Zi Liyuan at that moment.

However, the presence of the Insect Race leader alone was enough to raise his alert level to the highest.

Given the growth rate of the Insect Race, if they weren't eradicated quickly, an insect plague could easily arise again soon after.

Zi Liyuan had every reason to believe that the internal struggle among the Humans to seize New World No. 99 ended up allowing an Insect Race intruder. This was definitely a targeted move by the Heavenly Dao of the Sea of Realms!

He also believed that this particular situation was specifically designed to target him!

Otherwise, how could there be an underground gate so close to his territory given the blessings of his "Goddess of Luck" wife?

And what's on the other end of the underground gate but an insect nest, right?

If this wasn't being targeted, then what was targeting?

"Kulong, command the remaining one thousand Specter Dragon Legion members to cleanse all the Alien Lords in the Land of the Dead for me. Also, notify the Blue Star Lords and monster groups in the Land of the Dead to send out representatives to Death Castle for a meeting in seven days. Those who do not attend will either be expelled from the Land of the Dead or face death!

"During the Spectral Dragon sweep, investigate the instances in the Land of the Dead, record the coordinate locations, and then send them to me. If you spot third-tier and fourth-tier recruitment structures, immediately record the coordinates and inform me."

How could the level of the Lord's Mansion be quickly raised without taxing?

With Zi Liyuan seizing control of the Land of the Dead, it meant that this land was his fief.

Just like the dukes of ancient times assigned to territories, if they wanted to exist on his land, they would have to pay taxes!

Instances in the Sea of Realms were evidently vital, being sources for farming units and all kinds of resources.

As for the Secret Realms in the Sea of Realms, they required specific conditions to trigger entry.

Before triggering them, one couldn't even know if a Secret Realm existed.

Zi Liyuan managed to forcibly clear a Secret Realm only because he misjudged and triggered its entry conditions.

There were many recruitment structures in the Sea of Realms, but most were of the first and second tiers, and units of this caliber weren't worth excessive recruitment unless they were special.

But the third-tier and fourth-tier recruitment structures were different. With countless wars in the Sea of Realms, the third-tier and fourth-tier corps were often the main forces that could determine the outcome of battles.

He certainly wouldn't let go of any third-tier and fourth-tier recruitment structures in the Land of the Dead. Even if he didn't recruit from them himself, he could still allow his men to do so.

At the very least, he couldn't just leave the recruitment slots there, allowing enemies to enlist and strengthen themselves, could he?

"Yuer, from now on you can start recruiting Blue Star Wanderers, Blue Star Mercenaries, and monster groups. The development, transport, and guarding of resources in the Land of the Dead will all need manpower."

Wanderers, with their exceptional unit strength, could be cultivated as hero units within the territory, potentially leading corps in territorial clearance and guarding, which was quite advantageous.

Mercenaries, at minimum organized in small groups, could execute various missions such as running instances, finding resources in the wild, and even attacking those disobedient monster groups—which was also very valuable.

As for the monster groups, it depended on their level of life; third and fourth-tier monster groups, due to their strong combat power, could be conscripted as forces to build corps.

First and second-tier monster groups were more suitable for labor, to develop various resources within his fief.

With control over the Land of the Dead now under Zi Liyuan, he needed a large population for development.

"Li Yuan, do you remember the Dragonkin mentioned before?"

"The one called Dragon One, wanting to bring his group to pledge themselves as my mercenaries?"

He was contacted almost concurrently with Liu Yiqing since Dilys, the Black Dragon King, wanted to lead the entire Dragonkin tribe to pledge allegiance.

While Liu Yiqing and his team had arrived, the other party hadn't even shown a trace yet.

"Correct, the Twilight Dragonkin of the Blood Dragon Jiao Clan. This tribe moved with their entire family, migrating towards our territory, but there was an unexpected incident." Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

"Unexpected?"

Zi Liyuan wore a puzzled expression and then opened the chat interface, locating the Twilight Dragonkin of the Blood Dragon Jiao Clan, Dragon One, directly from the friends list.

[Ding, the friend is in an unknown space and is temporarily unreachable!]

When Zi Liyuan attempted to message him, a system prompt popped up immediately, causing him to freeze.

Unknown space?

There were various types of unknown space in the Sea of Realms.

Secret Realms, instances, dimensions, planes, and even some areas with special treasures.

Yet, no matter what the unknown space was, as long as one had sufficient strength, it would be an opportunity!

"The Twilight Dragonkin of the Blood Dragon Jiao Clan collided headlong into a Secret Realm while relocating with no preparation, trapping most of the tribe inside."

Zi Liyuan: (⊙o⊙)???

"This kind of luck—it's remarkable."

Secret Realms were far rarer than instances.

"Two Dragonkin warriors escorted their young to the territory, requesting our help to rescue the rest of the Twilight Dragonkin of the Blood Dragon Jiao Clan."

Dragonkin warriors had great potential and strong combat capabilities, and these Dragonkin sought to join Dilys, the Black Dragon King.

They would enter a blood covenant with Dilys, transforming into Dark Dragonkin, thus maximizing their loyalty.

It could be said that this Dragonkin tribe was entirely worthy of their effort, and they could later be cultivated as core subordinates within the territory.

"A Secret Realm, huh, what a gift."

With this unforeseen development, the meeting lost its momentum. After hastily handling some matters, Zi Liyuan, together with Fan Yuer, went to the temporary settlement of the Twilight Dragonkin of the Blood Dragon Jiao Clan.

Near the northern city wall area, over a dozen gray tents were pitched.

A burly Dragonkin warrior paced anxiously outside the tents.

Not far from him, another Dragonkin warrior was training a group of Dragonkin children.

The two Dragonkin warriors, one at the peak of the second tier, the other at the peak of the third tier, both had elite Boss templates.

A group of Dragonkin children, all reaching the first tier, though below LV30, also shared elite Boss templates.

It had to be said, as descendants of Dragon Blood, their foundational heritage was a notch above that of Humans.
