Chapter 2171: Chapter 2171: Spreading From the Middle to the Edge
The upper class of the Giant Dragon Clan was almost entirely left in this place. Except for two eighth-tier dragons who stayed home, the others did not escape. Although in this battle, we also suffered some losses on our side.
Under the mad dragon counterattack, we also lost two eighth-tier Undead directly.
It must be said, dragons are truly terrifying creatures. Even if their own powers are not well harnessed, they are incredibly powerful just relying on their innate talents. However, the two that died were the weakest of their kind.
Powerful Undead Creatures are not that easily harmed.
"Should we deal with the Dragon Clan? They only have two eighth-tiers left, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"
Du You shook his head: "No need, the distance here is too far. If too many people rush over, they will be detected. It’s better to leave it like this. When those dragons find something amiss, they will move themselves."
Du You was certain of this, those dragons would definitely worry about him causing trouble for them.
Perhaps they might investigate, but Du You didn’t care anymore. The dragons, having lost their strong members, posed no threat to him. Moreover, given the pride of the Dragon Clan, it’s impossible for them to contact other Race Cities.
In other words, their general approach is to rely on their own reproduction and increase their strength, waiting to return in the future, rather than relying on others’ strength. Not to mention such a plea for help is absolutely not something the Dragon Clan would do.
Since there was no effect on himself, Du You didn’t bother to chase after them so far away.
"Next, we need to first digest this batch of power, then start the underground offensive. Also, we need to expand our city’s area of control, as there are no nations in this world, we should start with us."
Due to the unique structure of the world, no one has chosen to form a nation, because only powerful cities radiating outward can provide benefits.
Even if a nation is established, with cities being too far apart and without being directly managed by a superior, there are no benefits.
Those so-called Holy Cities have been constantly expanding. Though called a city, in reality, their scope is much larger than an ordinary nation. However, those cities are true cities, not a situation of cities being linked together. Expanding a city to such an extent is indeed an incredible feat.
But Du You doesn’t care. Although he feels the power bonus from the world’s structure, it is meaningless to him. This bonus has its limits.
In this intermediate region, no matter how large a city is, the bonus cap is only up to the eighth tier.
In Du You’s view, those areas at the world center likely have their bonus cap at the early ninth tier, otherwise, those Holy Cities wouldn’t remain their original size after so many years.
But these are things to understand later; right now the offensive is not there.
"Should we expand in the central region? The distance seems rather far."
Du You shook his head: "No, we’re expanding towards the edge region. Don’t forget our goal is to occupy this world, not to seize the central region like them. Once we’ve occupied the edges, the remaining area won’t matter much. Besides, if we can lure out a few of those ninth-tiers, all the better."
Fighting on their territory, with Holy City enhancements, they would have increased strength.
Dealing with them would certainly be troublesome, as currently, Du You and the two sisters could only exert early ninth-tier battle power. Further enhancement without reporting to the world’s will would be problematic.
If they can be lured out, even under the same tier, without using his skills, Du You can easily eliminate them. In terms of power understanding and utilization, they are far behind Du You.
"The edge, huh, that is a good place." Lin Yucha thought for a moment, then agreed with Du You’s idea.
However, expansion cannot be immediate, or rather not expansive, because there are not enough forces to defend the cities.
Du You’s first action was to make use of those corpses. There were quite a few dragon corpses this time. Du You strengthened them and transformed each into Undead Creatures.
Eighth-tier dragons were directly turned into eighth-tier Bone Dragons, each being strengthened by Du You to be even stronger than in life.
After all, they were fresh corpses, not ones that had been dead for a long time, and these were the genuine dragon bones imbued with dragon lineage and Dragon Might; the enhancement effect was even more notable.
Du You’s profound understanding of dragons allowed him to utilize this batch of corpses to the fullest. Those eighth-tier dragons were typically one or two levels stronger than their living prowess.
The dragon leader, in particular, was exceptionally impressive. After reattaching his claw bones, Du You proceeded to cleanse him with vast amounts of death power. When completed, his power was bolstered to the eighth-tier pinnacle. Among all the eighth-tier Undead under Du You’s command, this creature was the strongest.
Moreover, with Du You’s understanding of power, those Bone Dragons could use their power more perfectly, far beyond the previous brute-force method.
Now, these Bone Dragons were much stronger than same-tier Demonic Apes; this was the true dragon battle method.
The previous combat style was too rough, completely failing to unleash their power. These so-called top-tier creatures still had many nemeses because they couldn’t fully harness their power.
Following this, Du You processed those seventh-tier dragon corpses, fortifying each to the late or even pinnacle of the seventh tier, making them a considerable force within the seventh tier.
Du You even elevated some excellent sixth-tier dragon corpses to the seventh tier, ensuring no issues in combat power. There were also numerous Sub-Dragon and Dragon Beast corpses, even Dragon Man corpses.
Du You carried out a mass transformation, greatly boosting his power reserve.
As the transformation was halfway through, Du You’s Doppelgangers already led the armies to commence offensives on nearby regions. Of course, not towards the world center, but outwardly.
Now, Du You wasn’t a small force. Once he took action, it immediately grabbed countless attentions.
But when they discovered Du You’s occupation direction wasn’t towards the continent center, many people felt relieved. After all, the true reason for city establishment in this world was to enhance one’s own strength, not for power or the like.
