From Baron to Lord

The steward had witnessed the Emperor's orders firsthand, never realizing the Duke and the Emperor were on such good terms.

Not only was he not punished in any way, but three Dragon Knights were still dispatched.

In the center of the Radiant Empire's council chamber, only the Emperor sat alone on his chair.

"Whether it's the Knox Empire or some other rats causing chaos, do they really think the Radiant Empire only has superficial strength?"

"Dispatch the Shadow Legion to completely annihilate those rats, but let those Dukes make their move first."

A shadowy figure moved and the sound faded into the depths of the corridor.

"The opposing Knox Empire is waiting to see the Radiant Empire's strength; that item is about to be successfully revived." The Radiant Emperor's icy voice echoed in the council chamber.

After sending out the army, Allen instructed the Undead Legion to remain quiet for a while. They absolutely couldn't make a move until the situation was clearer.

The Radiant Empire was greatly feared by the Knox Empire, and it was impossible that it only had the Dragon Knight Legion; there must be other forces.

Allen then returned to the Origin World, according to news from Marco.

The herbs cultivated in the Central Mountains had matured, and most had been made into potions.

Strength potions, Frenzy potions, and other potions could all enhance strength, and even potions that temporarily enhanced strength had no side effects.

This was all because there was a power of law within them; otherwise, those potions wouldn't have such great effects.

"My Lord, I have separated the Wisdom Crystal and purified it using the power of law in the soil."

Annie held a transparent crystal in her hand, inside which was a brilliant golden liquid.

At a glance, one could tell the golden liquid was extraordinary, with the laws of the earth seemingly present within.

"How did you make this? It's truly comparable to a real law." Allen stared at the golden liquid, somewhat shocked.

"My Lord, you'll know if you swallow it directly. This tiny bit of Wisdom Liquid cost a million gold coins."

She didn't know how many instruments and materials she had damaged, and she extracted it from a whole box of Wisdom Crystals.

When Allen heard how Annie made it, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. A box of Wisdom Crystals was worth a million gold coins.

Adding the various instruments and materials, the small bit of Wisdom Liquid in his hand cost about three million.

"That's really too extravagant." Allen swallowed the Wisdom Liquid directly.

A warm current rushed towards his brain, and instantly his mind roared, as if something had exploded.

Then his mind became clear, much more comfortable than before.

It seems my comprehension and cultivation of magic have become much faster, but it doesn't seem to help my strength at all.

However, Allen was clear that the Wisdom Crystal had greatly accelerated his cultivation speed as a mage.

"Annie, your next task is to make the Wisdom Liquid for me, even if you use up all the Wisdom Crystals."

Allen already knew the benefits of the Wisdom Crystal; probably the people in the Luru Kingdom wouldn't know how to purify it like this.

Annie was truly a genius alchemist, able to think of using instruments and materials for purification.

After experiencing the benefits of the Wisdom Liquid, the Luru Kingdom must be controlled, especially Biru City, the source of Wisdom Crystals.

Biru City was the foundation of Duke Biru's rise, bringing him a constant stream of wealth and troops. "Kruse, put all the Wisdom Crystals into the Origin World. No one else is allowed to use them; give them all to Annie."

After Allen returned to the continent, he immediately ordered Kruse to do this.

Around this time, the army had already entered the Biru Kingdom.

Chapter 548: Subsequent Plans

"My Lord, according to the information I've gathered, the other Dukes have only sent about 100,000 soldiers."

"Moreover, the soldiers they sent are just going through the motions, almost all of them are only around Bronze rank."

Kruse directly reported the strength of the soldiers sent to the Biru Kingdom.

"As expected, my guess was correct. Now our goals have been achieved."

Allen leisurely looked at the Biru Kingdom, waiting for all the Dukes' armies to completely enter and figure out Duke Biru's next plan.

Then his plan could begin, directly sending out the Undead Legion to completely disrupt the Biru Kingdom.

Only when it was truly chaotic could he gradually seize the source of the Wisdom Crystals.

More importantly, the system only gave him a short year, and even with the five years he discussed with Duke Abyss.

He only had a few years left to build an empire.

"Kruse, train those soldiers hard during this time. Provide them with all the meat and food they need."

Most Dukes only provided a little meat when training their armies, but with the Origin World, there was no need to worry about that.

Various materials and magical herbs could be sold for sky-high prices in the Radiant Empire; in any case, the Radiant Empire wouldn't focus on him.

It would be strange if he didn't obtain anything in the Origin World; next, the focus should be on the army.

"My Lord, rest assured, some newly joined soldiers train even harder when they see they can eat meat every day."

Kruse really felt happy for those newly joined soldiers; where would the average Duke care about their food and housing?

After a brief seven days, the time agreed upon by the Radiant Emperor arrived, and each Duke sent their soldiers to the Bilu Kingdom.

Bilu naturally arranged for those troops to be stationed near Lu Mountain City, originally thinking the Dukes would wholeheartedly support him.

However, upon seeing the scattered and weak strength of the armies, he was deeply disappointed. Although each Duke brought 100,000 soldiers,

the leaders were only Gold Knights. Such an army wouldn't survive a second in an imperial war.

"Damn it, don't they know that what happened in Lu Mountain City has already affected the image of our Radiant Empire?"

"Don't they care about His Majesty's anger?"

Bilu couldn't directly curse them out loud and could only condemn those Dukes fiercely in his heart.

After all, those Dukes had already sent out their troops, so there was no way to say they were wrong.

"Lord Bilu, in my opinion, since we need to find the bandits anyway, we can just let them search the mountains."

"With a million soldiers, our search speed should be very fast."

The words of the steward made Bilu's eyes light up. He also thought this was a great idea; as long as they could find the bandits, it would be fine.

Bilu found a suitable opportunity to gather the leaders in the Bilu City Council Hall.

"Everyone, I am very grateful for the Dukes' support for Bilu. Next, I will need to trouble you."

Bilu enthusiastically raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, then looked at the Gold Knights in their seats.

"Duke Bilu, rest assured, we will definitely find the fierce beast that attacked Lu Mountain City," a Gold Knight sent by Duke Harry stood up and said.

After that, the other Gold Knights at the table expressed the same sentiment, and Duke Bilu explained the action plan.

He had no idea that everything was caused by Duke Harry behind the scenes, and Harry's army already knew the plan.

After the meeting in the Council Hall ended, everyone returned to their respective armies, waiting to take action the next day.

In the army sent by Harry, the Gold Knight instructed a soldier on the side.

"Be sure to deliver it to His Majesty's hands. This plan is very important to His Majesty." He directly sealed the letter with wax.

A team of soldiers disappeared into the vast night, and no one knew what they were going to do.

Allen quickly received the letter. He briefly checked the wax and opened it after finding that the letter had not been tampered with.

It detailed Bilu's plan, which was very simple and crude: directly search for the Undead Legion's whereabouts... Seeking flowers.

It seemed Bilu already knew the Undead Army hadn't left and planned to have a million soldiers search the entire Bilu Kingdom.

"The plan can be said to be very effective. Bilu also knows that the strength of a million soldiers isn't great," Allen thought with a smile.

In fact, he already had a plan: when the Undead Legion was discovered, they would directly join Allen's army.

Adding 10,000 people to 100,000 wouldn't be a big deal, and Bilu and the other Dukes wouldn't be able to detect anything.

"Cruise, give this token directly to the Undead Legion. They should understand when they see it."

Allen directly took out a purple token, which was hollow inside and contained his written plan.

0...0 After the Undead Legion saw it, they would know what to do next. The Bilu Kingdom was probably going to be in real chaos.

Allen watched Cruise control the dragon and fly towards the mountains. Next, something would happen to the mining city near Lu Mountain City.

The mining city was rich in various iron and gold mines. The surrounding area was a large mine, and it was said that there were many rare ores inside.

The Undead Legion naturally wanted to possess magic ore. Neither iron nor gold could compare to magic ore.

A piece of magic ore was worth hundreds of gold coins. After the Undead Legion took action twice, they had enough experience to deal with it.

After the magic ore was plundered, it could be distributed to the army. Duke Bilu would never dream of this plan.

That night, the Undead Legion received the token. The three Undead also led 10,000 soldiers to move out of the mountains.

Tens of thousands of Undead marched in the depths of the mountains, and no one noticed them. Even if they encountered fierce beasts, they were easily killed by the Undead.

"I have to say, His Majesty's plan is too brilliant. What supports Duke Bilu's development are the Chamber of Commerce and the mines."

"This time, Bilu is probably going to suffer a great loss. After the Lu Mountain City incident, the mines haven't been transporting ore for a long time."

Undead Number One quickly moved towards the mine under the moonlight. As for the tens of thousands of soldiers, they followed behind. He was going to take a step ahead to see how strong the mine was.

Chapter 549 Magic Ore

After Undead Number One approached the mine, he heard the roar of machines.

In front was a city wall standing across the mountains, and the wall was engraved with array patterns.

He didn't expect that there would be array patterns on the city wall. With array patterns, it meant there was a mage behind it.

In his opinion, the formation could only kill Gold Knights at best, and it was not cheap for a mage to take action.

If it weren't for the magic ore inside the mine, Duke Bilu wouldn't have gone to such lengths to engrave the array patterns.

"Interesting."

Undead Number One continued to explore around the city wall and found that the front was completely surrounded by the city wall, and even from the air, it was impossible to easily enter.
