“What kind of joke is this, killing on the first day of the newbie protection period? Are you an Evil Lord? @Lord Qilin”
“Heh, some people are just like that. Even if unifying the island doesn’t require Lords to kill each other, most people still choose to do so to quickly obtain resources.”
“Boss, Fanfan, hungry, hungry.”
“I’m just saying, is it possible that someone wanted to come and kill me first?”
“Damn, turns out the boss isn’t mute. Hugging the big guy upstairs.”
“Stop talking nonsense, what kind of Lord would be stupid enough to attack a top-level Lord?”
“Bro, I don’t think you know what the boss looks like or what their troop type is. Even if you meet offline, would they write their name on their face?”
“9494, I also claim to be Qin Shi Huang!”
Qilin looked at the world chat, but he didn’t care much about it.
He did want to say ‘If you’re not convinced, come fight me?’
But after thinking about it, he felt it didn’t fit his image as a boss, so he let it go.
After all, bosses are always cold and aloof.
He lifted the tattered beastskin curtain at the door.
Outside, muddy rain mixed with filth splashed into the room.
The rain was getting heavier.
Qilin didn’t like this weather, because the farmers couldn’t work.
For now, he could only let the low-level undead take over their tasks.
The farmers were all hiding in their houses, avoiding the rain.
Dinner was the meat Qilin had rewarded them with a few days ago, which they’d smoked and preserved long ago.
As for Qilin himself, as the lord, he didn’t need to worry about dinner.
These farmers had to move, even in the rain.
“This kind of weather is best for sleeping.”
Now that he had a bed, at least he didn’t have to sleep on straw anymore.
He leaned against the bed, eating roasted meat with one hand while gazing at the square window covered by a cloth curtain.
At that moment, the undead avatar also returned and walked in.
“There are still a lot of Monsters there. Let him handle the cleanup.”
“So fragrant~”
Her eyes were fixed on the roast chicken in Qilin’s hand.
He had no choice but to share half with her.
“Shouldn’t you be the one to go if there are lots of Monsters?”
He asked in confusion.
The undead avatar had been dealing with attacking Lords as soon as she returned, forgetting to inform the main body about the situation.
“There’s a Goblin Cave over there. I plan to lead the undead to wipe it out.”
Indeed, summoning them was more effective than summoning those wild Monsters.
Moreover, the cave’s complex structure was more suited for undead avatars with greater numbers.
“All right, you guys handle it as you see fit.”
He trusted the execution and judgment of his avatars.
After all, no one understood himself better than himself.
“By the way, there are plenty of trees and stones there. If necessary, we can send farmers over to gather resources.”
The terminal allowed free transfer of resources within the territory.
The difference between having a warehouse or not was only about capacity and whether wood would rot over time.
As long as the farmers placed resources on that territory, upgrades would prioritize using materials outside the warehouse.
As for everything originally inside the opposing Lord’s territory, the moment Qilin selected Victory Spoils, it all disappeared.
The terminal rewarded only the territory, not even a single piece of wood remained.
On the surface, Lords were enemies, but when it came to conquering the island, no one said you had to kill everyone.
Sometimes, a living Lord was worth much more than just a chunk of land.
Night fell.
The dragon avatar was still hunting Monsters.
The undead avatar had already gathered a large number of skeletons and was heading towards the Goblin Cave.
In the pitch-black night, only the pattering of raindrops could be heard.
A cluster of ghostly blue lights floated through the darkness, slowly approaching.
This was a small, raised hill.
Around it were many holes over a meter high.
Torches were stuck at the entrance, illuminating the area, but deeper inside was pitch black, making it impossible to see anything.
There were no living creatures around.
The ground was a mixture of Ruined Grassland and mud.
The closer Qilin got, the stronger the stench.
“What a disgusting place.”
She waved her hand, ordering the skeletons to halt.
The cave was complex inside, and the skeletons were much larger than goblins, making entry troublesome.
At the entrance, she could hear rustling from within.
It seemed the goblin night watchers had abandoned their duties to pursue their own reproductive endeavors.
Qilin wondered how to lure these creatures out and wipe them out at once.
She had no intention of entering such a filthy place.
Suddenly, she thought of a method.
She signaled several skeleton warriors to guard all the entrances, then ordered the other skeletons to gather large amounts of weeds and wood to pile up.
As the weeds were dried and ignited by high temperatures, thick smoke instantly filled the air.
Dense smoke rose from all cave entrances, spreading rapidly inside.
“Cough cough!”
Soon, the goblins inside began to cough.
They screamed and rushed out of the caves, saw the bonfires, but ignored them in favor of gulping fresh air.
As more and more goblins poured out, Qilin waved his arm.
Several massive bone blades fell from above the cave entrances, sealing them completely.
Any creatures at the entrances were instantly crushed into pulp.
“Enemy attack, enemy attack!”
As the goblins realized what was happening, blue ghostly lights flickered in the rain-soaked darkness, and skeletons advanced, completing the encirclement.
“Eliminate all goblins.”
At Qilin’s command, all undead charged.
Their feet splashed mud and water to the sides.
The goblins, caught off guard, had no weapons as they stumbled out.
Although low-level undead and goblins were among the weakest races, the former belonged to a top-tier race and held overwhelming superiority over these green-skinned creatures.
Moreover, the undead outnumbered the goblins by several times.
Though cowardly, the goblins had no escape and chose to fight desperately.
Qilin stood coldly in place, watching limbs break and blood spray without a flicker of emotion.
Some goblins tried to target her, but surrounded by layers of undead, there was nothing they could do.
The initial level for goblins was also one.
The one she met last time was merely an exception.
“Strange, all these creatures are level one. Where’s the damned leader?”
Just as Qilin wondered, movement sounded from the distant woods.
The next moment, several Fire Arrows blazed through the night, flying straight at her!
