Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Chapter 378: Satan's situation

And so, a few peaceful days passed.Since the ceasefire between the undead empire and the Beastman Empire, everyone had settled back into their routines. Sophie resumed her re

Satan turned away, dismissing the visitor. However, a thought struck him, and he turned back.

"Has Alex returned?"

"Still no news."

Sophie shook her head. Torin, standing beside her, went unnoticed by Satan.

Seeing him ignore her, Sophie quickly approached.

"Hey, don't just walk away! I have questions for you!"

"What is it?" ᎷƲᏞΕМҎΥЯ.ϲՕƜ

Satan turned back, tilting his head as he looked at her.

"Tell me about your progress on the Valoria continent, the distribution of factions, that sort of thing."

Sophie didn't mince words. She followed him into the hall and plopped down on a chair.

"You want to establish a stronghold on the Valoria continent?"

Satan instantly grasped her intentions.

"That's right. We were at war with the Beastman Empire. We suffered heavy losses and need to recover our strength."

Sophie didn't hide anything. This wasn't their first encounter, and she was somewhat familiar with Satan's eccentric personality. However, she notice that he seemed more subdued than usual.

"Alright, I'll tell you what I know."

It was a small favor to ask. Satan sat down beside her and began his narration.

Half an hour later, Satan had shared everything he knew about the current situation on the Valoria continent.

"Your situation is even worse than we imagined!"

Sophie was surprised. It seemed that Satan, who appeared to be the most stable of the three, was also facing a major crisis.

"Tell me about it."

Satan sighed. He wanted to relocate his kingdom, but the entire Valoria continent was on edge. Any disturbance could attract the attention of those troublesome demons.

"So what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Leave it to fate."

Satan rolled his eyes at Sophie. Her question was pointless. His options were limited: relocate his kingdom, leave the Valoria continent, become a Freelancer, or abandon his kingdom altogether.

If he were as strong as Alex, he would have confronted those demons head-on.

"But this is just the current situation. If they actually start fighting, they won't have time to worry about other areas. This could be an opportunity."

Sophie, drawing from the undead empire's experience, offered her analysis of the situation, which gave Satan a glimmer of hope.

"You're right! If they start fighting, I can take the opportunity to expand elsewhere. They won't have time to bother with me!"

Satan realized he had been trapped in a negative mindset. He had always felt that his King level strength was too weak. However, in times of war, the enemy wouldn't necessarily deploy their strongest forces from the outset.

"It's a shame you don't have a map of the Valoria continent. I suggest you develop near the border. I can help you conceal your city's presence. That way, you won't have to worry. Even if they do fight, it'll likely be in the upper abyss. They won't notice anything down below."

Sophie's solution was, of course, the concealment magic circle developed by the alchemy warlocks.

"Thanks. You seem to have become even more beautiful than before, especially your breasts. It's so big and round, like two ripe papayas."

Satan's worries had eased somewhat thanks to Sophie's analysis.

"Thank you, but I suggest you refrain from such comments in the future. If you can't compliment someone properly, don't bother."

Sophie rolled her eyes at Satan and departed with Torin.

Yesterday, she had finally reached King level, becoming the one who had spent the longest time at lv9 Monarch among the group.

She could now establish a vassal kingdom. They already had Gemini City on the Arsen continent, so after some discussion, they decided to build this vassal kingdom on the Valoria continent.

This would provide the undead empire with another avenue for expansion. With Zarvox no longer a threat, they had nothing to worry about in that regard.

Before leaving, Sophie informed Xiao Hui, requesting a few alchemy warlocks to assist Satan with the concealment magic circle. She and Torin then set off towards the opposite side of the endless abyss.

Her goal was to establish the vassal kingdom near the border of the Valoria continent. She would likely spend the next few days traveling.
