Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge-Chapter 590 - 384: Subjugating the Wild Monster Tribes that Spawn Near the Territory

Zi Liyuan purposefully intimidated the two Dwarf elders, naturally with the idea of coaxing them into submission.

He never expected, however, to scare them silly, to the point where they couldn’t even beg for mercy.

This left him momentarily embarrassed.

Fortunately, Lao Tie, who had followed, was formidable, placing a long knife to the left and right of the two Dwarf elders, which after a pitiful scream from them, finally brought back a semblance of normality.

"Great Lord of Death, having violated your mining territory, we are willing to offer compensation. We earnestly implore your magnanimity to spare our kin. Our entire Dwarf Race is willing to become your subjects, serving you loyally!"

The elder finally regained his wits, and at the same time, came to understand that if the other side truly wanted to eliminate them, they would have done so already, without needing to see them in person.

Moreover, given that the Dwarf Race was skillful at mining and blacksmithing, they were of certain value. The other party intended to annex them.

Annexation was welcome!

Under the protection of a powerful Lord, their kin would no longer need to fear the attacks from mighty monsters outside, nor would they have to dread the slaughter of Spectres when night fell.

For their Dwarf kin, the daytime monster attacks were manageable, as they usually hid in the underground workings of the mountainous mining regions, rarely encountering monsters in the tunnels and passageways they excavated.

But the night was a deadlier matter, as Spectres could be said to be omnipresent. Due to their ability to become ethereal, they could penetrate the protective barriers of their fortifications.

This was the underlying reason why their Dwarf kin had always struggled to grow and flourish.

A group fond of mining and blacksmithing, with quite impressive forging skills, once armed, their combat power could assuredly rank in the upper tier of their order.

Yet they could only scavenge a meager existence underground and their population grew exceedingly slowly.

The sad truth was that, when facing Spectres, only a minority of warriors in their kin capable of utilizing light energy could barely cope, while other combat professions found it difficult to inflict effective damage on Spectres.

The nature of Spectres, being able to phase between solid and ethereal, gave them a high immunity to physical damage, which was a clear counter to races like the Dwarves that relied on physical strikes.

It could be said that all the major clans near the Purple Abyss Territory were affected by the nocturnal Spectre influence, which was the effect of the unique characteristics of the territory on the surrounding environment.

The territories of those who specialize in death professions invariably take on the attributes of death, and recruitment structures for the Undead are common within the radiation range of the territories. Similarly, numerous Undead monsters also roam these lands.

For the Lords of the territories, such changes were of course beneficial, but for the beings living in these areas, it was tantamount to a curse.

By day they lived for their livelihoods, and by night they lived in dread; it was an utter torment.

Thus, when the elder detected the intentions of the Lord of Death, he did not hesitate to approach and decisively offered up his entire kin.

As long as the whole kin could be well-fed and warmly clothed, without having to constantly fear the slaughter of the Spectres, their Dwarf clan would willingly submit.

As for relocating from this place, they had already tried since their arrival, to no avail.

All around were mighty beings, and they were just pitiful creatures struggling to survive in the cracks.

"How many Dwarves are there in your kin and how many are Forging Masters?"

The reason for not asking whether they held any Dwarf Technology was because this tribe was not large, and the map display didn’t indicate any technological constructs within Stone Fortress.

The highest level of technology they seemed to possess were probably the minecart tracks and push-pull iron minecarts established on the lowest level.

A kin that didn’t even know how to make Dwarf firearms could hardly be expected to hold Dwarf Technology; it was less likely than finding pigs roosting in trees.

"My Lord, our kin at present numbers four thousand three hundred and eighty-two individuals. Apart from three hundred and sixty children, everyone is capable of forging, with at least the skill level of a junior Forging Master," the elder said respectfully, his tone could not conceal his pride.

Dwarves were like that; regardless of gender, they all learn forging knowledge. Only those with poor talent would study other fields after reaching junior Forging Master level.

And a junior Forging Master could already forge First Order and below equipment, which counts as special talent for a Lord’s power.

At this moment, Zi Liyuan could only exclaim in amazement.

This Dwarf kin totaled four thousand three hundred and eighty-two individuals, and four thousand and twenty-two of them were Forging Masters. Those who weren’t were simply too young to be one just yet.

All kin as Forging Masters, truly a generation-to-generation lineage of blacksmithing.

With these Dwarves, at the very least, the territory would no longer be lacking in low-order equipment.

"Not bad, do you prefer to live in my territory, or continue to thrive and multiply here?"

Since his own territory had even a stronger presence of Undead attributes, these Dwarves, being living creatures, might face many inconveniences if they moved there.

However, if they chose not to move, transporting equipment and supplies that they crafted could be problematic.

Therefore, Zi Liyuan respected their choice.

"To be able to live in the Lord’s territory is an honor we cannot ask for!"

The elder stated his position without any hesitation.

Although their Stone Fortress was established through great hardship, its safety was not guaranteed.

Now that there was an opportunity to live directly on Lord’s territory, what was there to hesitate about?

They would move their entire clan, of course!

"Very well, give yourselves one day to gather your kin. I will have the Spectral Dragon escort your Dwarf Race to the territory," Zi Liyuan decided after a glance at the two Dwarf elders and instructed Kulong to dispatch a few Spectral Dragons for protection.
