Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1818 The Undying Lord
Zhou Xu received no response, and Xuan Yu's figure disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye, leaving Zhou Xu with a faint sense of melancholy.

It's like a father feeling lost and forlorn after his son runs away from home.

However, Zhou Xu didn't dwell on it for long. After all, he was now an emperor, and he quickly adjusted his emotions.

He wasn't worried about Xuan Yu's safety; judging from the situation at the time, the kid seemed to have broken through at that moment.

When Xuan Yu was still at the peak of the Saint Realm, he relied on his ability to fly, his speed, and his golden-red flames to hold his own against the Undying General of the Vertical and Horizontal Realm and the Undying Monarch of the Out-of-Body Realm.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, one's strength will only increase.

I just don't know what this kid is thinking now, or when he'll be back.

Meanwhile, at the mountainside camp, with the complete end of the battle, work quickly returned to normal, and the members of the department responsible for sand prevention and control also returned soon.

Although they had prepared themselves mentally during the emergency evacuation, at this moment, looking at the scorched earth before them, the minister couldn't hold back his tears, and burst into tears on the spot.

"It's all gone. Everything's gone!"

The members couldn't help but tear up.

Only they themselves know how much sweat and effort they have poured into this land.

And now, it's all gone!
This left Li Ce, who was standing to the side, feeling as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat and a thorn in his back, and he could only sincerely apologize again.

"I'm sorry, there really wasn't any other way at the time, but don't worry! We won't abandon this matter. Whether it's turning over the soil, planting trees, or digging a pond, Minister Zhao, just give the word, and you can use any of my soldiers!"

The garrison troops, led by Li Ce, were ultimately fighting to maintain peace in the region, risking their lives in a fierce battle that lasted for several days and nights against the undead army.

Minister Zhao knew in his heart that they couldn't be blamed for this.

Now that the other party has shown such sincerity, Minister Zhao wiped away his tears and took a deep breath.

"General, there's no need for this. It's all for the sake of the Great Zhou!"

"Yes, it's all for the Great Zhou!"

After successfully dealing with the restrictions in the desert, Zhou Xu returned to the border of the Rakshasa.

I received the news as soon as I arrived.

News came from the Saint Laurent border where Shi Lei was located that they had encountered the monk Wuchen.

Even before encountering Monk Wuchen, Zhou Xu had already instructed his men to notify all regions as quickly as possible, warning their leaders to be wary of this bald monk.

After all, this guy can fly through the clouds, so who knows where he'll fly off to after he leaves here? Zhou Xu is just being cautious this time.

As it turns out, his caution was justified.

Having prepared himself mentally, Shi Lei directly arranged for the local Catholic bishop to come and entertain him.

When the monk Wuchen learned that this place was still the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that the other side had sent a bishop to entertain him, he immediately recalled some unpleasant memories. After resting for a couple of days, he quickly left.

Zhou Xu smiled upon confirming the news, but still didn't forget to give one more word of advice.

"Tell all regions not to let their guard down and to deal with the monk Wuchen with care."

"Yes!" After that, Zhou Xu prepared to return to Black Moon City.

After all, the territory of the Great Zhou is growing larger and larger, which directly leads to a continuous increase in workload. If I am away for too long, a large number of important documents cannot be approved and arranged in time, and many projects cannot be started in time. Human and material resources are wasted, which will cause considerable losses and have a great impact on the development of the entire Great Zhou.

Of course, before going back, as is customary, he naturally had to give Li Ce a few words of advice.

During this process, Li Ce also mentioned the sand control department to Zhou Xu.

After listening, Zhou Xu couldn't help but sigh.

He also knew that the work of preventing and controlling desertification on the Russian border was not easy.

Now, a tough battle has wiped out years of hard work by this department, and he is heartbroken.

"How about this, let the Royal Mage Corps stay here to assist with the work."

Upon hearing this, Li Ce's face lit up with joy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He felt deeply indebted to the Royal Mage Corps. He knew their methods well; once the saplings were planted, the Royal Mage Corps could work together to create a forest instantly, greatly improving the efficiency of sand control!
The night before Zhou Xu embarked on his return journey, the couple, having been apart for a while, were reunited and engaged in a passionate lovemaking session with Yarvet.

The desert forces here have already been dealt with, so normally Yarvit wouldn't need to continue stationing herself on the border and could have gone back to Black Moon City with Zhou Xu.

However, considering the matter of the monk Wuchen, just in case, Zhou Xu asked Yarvit to stay a little longer to see how things went.

On the steam train back home, Zhou Xu had already begun researching the 'Undying Lord' class.

With the experience gained from the 'Dragon Lord', Zhou Xu's performance at this moment was incredibly skillful and adept.

After successfully unlocking the starting item 'Undead Lord', various extension items quickly appeared, with the most basic being the skeleton soldiers as expected.

However, Zhou Xu clearly had no interest in these basic projects.

Fortunately, the cost of unlocking these basic items is negligible for Zhou Xu, who is now a Nascent Soul mage.

This allowed Zhou Xu to unlock and upgrade almost effortlessly, which was strangely quite enjoyable.

After quickly pushing through the initial projects, Zhou Xu perked up as more projects were unlocked and another core project emerged.

System prompt: Confirm unlocking the Mantra item 'Undead Conversion'?
【confirm! 】

The next second, with the rapid infusion of magic power, the project icon was completely lit up in the blink of an eye! At the same time, a virtual interface quickly unfolded in front of Zhou Xu.

Undead Conversion (Active) (Mantra) (Level 1): After casting, it can convert a corpse into an undead unit. The specific effect depends on the conversion target, and it slightly reduces the spell cost.

The effect of this 'Undead Transformation' caught Zhou Xu's eye.

This is simply the ultimate embodiment of his 'resurrection' mantra!

His "Resurrection" series of mantras require various prefixes to use, but looking at the description of "Undead Conversion," it completely encompasses them all in one move!
[They're definitely professionals!]

Zhou Xu felt he had made a great deal just from this one incantation of 'Undead Transformation'.

And this is clearly just the beginning!
