Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

After a long journey, Alex finally arrived at Cliffside Mountain.

As Alex arrived, she was a little surprised. The so-called Cliffside Mountain was not a mountain at all, but a continuous cliff next to the sea.

The map only marked the name and the only information she had was that it was located on the southernmost edge of the continent. Looking at the endless coastline, Alex was completely at a loss.

"Where can I find that fake tomb?"

"Forget it, I'll find a suitable place to build the undead fortress first."

Alex sighed. After all, this was her main purpose in going to the southern border.

The turbulent waves hit the bottom of the cliff, making a loud noise. Alex, wearing a robe, flew southward along the edge, looking for a hidden location suitable for building an undead fortress.

These cliffs were at least fifty meters above sea level, and below were irregular boulders blocking the tide, making the terrain very uneven.

Building an undead fortress below the cliff was not a good location. No one could predict whether the Sea Race would land and harass them after the tide receded.

Suddenly, Alex's eyes narrowed. She saw several angels in her vision. As she spotted them, the angels all turned to look at her.

King level angels?

Otherwise, their perception couldn't be so keen from such a distance.

Seeing the group of angels flying towards her, Alex's fingers under the black robe had touched the bracelet, ready to summon the sickle at any time. But then she thought of her honorary mage status, so she decided to wait and see.

There were seven angels in total. If they were all King level, killing them would definitely expose her abilities.

"What are you doing in Cliffside Mountain?"

The group of angels quickly came to Alex and stopped her way in a semi-encirclement. The leading angel questioned her.

"You guys can come to Cliffside Mountain, why can't I? Since when has this place become the territory of your Angel race?"

Alex didn't panic. According to the relationship between the human race and the angel race, it was impossible to communicate peacefully, so she had to maintain a tough stance at the moment.

The leading angel pondered for a moment and spoke again with a blank expression.

"We are being rude. We are here on a mission. Your sudden arrival made us suspicious. Could you please tell us the purpose of your visit to Cliffside Mountain so that we can report it?"

The angel's tone softened a lot. Alex guessed that they didn't dare to directly attack a Magus from the Mage Guild.

"Then why don't you tell me what your mission is in Cliffside Mountain?"

Alex didn't answer but asked back. If the other party refused to answer, she could also use the Mage Guild's secrets to refuse.

"Our mission is to hunt down the undead here."

As soon as the leading angel said these words, Alex was shocked and almost started directly.

But soon Alex reacted. She had never been to Cliffside Mountain, and her undead troops had never been to the southern part of the Eldoria continent.

Therefore, the undead that these angels wanted to hunt down here should have nothing to do with Alex.

Could it have something to do with the fake tomb? If it was just ordinary undead, it wouldn't be possible for angels to make such a big fuss to hunt them down. There must be some secret.

Alex's brain raced, and she quickly came up with a reason to fool them.

"I'm secretly assisting the werewolves of the Skyreach Mountains in tracking down a vampire. I think the other party led me to Cliffside Mountain to divert your attention and buy time."

Alex didn't blush and her heart didn't skip a beat. She was talking nonsense in a serious manner. Sure enough, these angels didn't see through her lies.

"You'd better leave Cliffside Mountain as soon as possible. If we find that vampire in Cliffside Mountain, we will kill it for you directly."

"Thank you for your help."

Alex nodded to them and went back the same way. Seeing them leave, the angels started searching again.

In fact, after the angels disappeared from sight, Alex directly activated Invisibility and returned.

She didn't believe that the Angel race would make a fuss about a fake cemetery. There must be some unknown secret.

As Alex continued south, she saw more and more angels. Besides the team just now, she also saw two other teams. There was no doubt that all the angels here were King level.

As for why Alex was so sure, it was because the angel who had just talked to her had four wings.

And all the angels she saw afterwards had four wings!

A team of seven angels, three teams would be twenty-one King levels. What kind of undead needed twenty-one King levels to search in person?

Wait, Alex suddenly froze, as if she had thought of a terrible idea.

There were so many King level angels here, so the enemy they were looking for was very likely...

Emperor level!

An Emperor level undead, near the fake tomb, was a subordinate of the previous undead lord, a Race King!

Alex didn't expect to find such shocking news when she came here to pay homage to the fake tomb. She stopped and wondered if she should continue.

If the undead here was Emperor level, it meant that there must be an Emperor level angel nearby.

Just as Alex was hesitating, she suddenly found a cave at the bottom of the cliff. She didn't know what magic the tunnel used, but it was well hidden.

But she saw through it at a glance. She thought that the other party must be hiding in this cave.

Alex came to the bottom of the cliff, next to the tunnel. There might be an Emperor level existence inside, which made her hesitate.

"Death Spirit!"

She directly summoned the Death Spirit's clone and let it explore the way, so that she wouldn't have to worry about danger.

The Death Spirit entered the cave, while Alex stood outside the cave, anxiously waiting.

Soon, the Death Spirit flew out. Alex didn't dare to summon the undead to let the Death Spirit report the news through possession. Maybe this was the only shortcoming of the Death Spirit as an assistant.

Although the Death Spirit couldn't use words to describe the specific situation in the cave, it could still clearly express simple things like whether there was danger through body language.

"No danger?"

Alex was stunned. It seemed that she had guessed wrong. The Emperor level undead was not hiding in this cave.

"Okay, I got it."

Alex waved her hand, and the Death Spirit's clone dissipated directly. She decided to go in and have a look since she was already here.

Now that she had made sure that there was no danger inside, she had nothing to worry about and strode in directly.

Inside the cave, dim lights illuminated the white magic circle in the center of the open space, where two desiccated corpses sat quietly.

Alex recognized that this magic circle was undead magic, which meant that this was indeed the place where the other party had been hiding, but she didn't know where they had gone.

Just as she walked towards the keystone in the center of the magic circle, the two desiccated corpses beside her suddenly opened their eyes and slowly stood up.

"Who are you! How dare you come to our territory!"
