Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

```

"How could you conquer a territory without looting resources?"

However, looting required manpower, and Lord Zi certainly didn't want to do the dirty work himself; with a grand gesture, he summoned more than five thousand Little Skeleton Subjects.

"My minions, start looting! Take everything except the LV1 Magic Library, leave nothing behind!"

With another grand gesture, the Little Skeletons began their destructive rampage.

Meanwhile, Zi Liyuan turned his attention toward the territory's LV4 Lord's Mansion, which was now shielded by a barrier with a staggering four million hit points.

"Lao Ma, charge! Break this eggshell for me!"

How could one obtain the Heart of the Castle without destroying the Lord's Mansion?

The four million hit points were considerable, but with the Fourth Order Peak Undead Jade Horse on his side, it just meant a few more charges were needed.

"Master, watch me!"

With a neigh, the Undead Jade Horse became a series of afterimages, charging head-on at the barrier of the Lord's Mansion.

Amid the thunderous collisions, cracks spread across the shield, and the health bar of the Lord's Mansion dropped by more than 300,000 hit points in an instant.

A charge every second meant that in just over ten seconds, the barrier of the Lord's Mansion shattered into a spectacle of light, dissipating into nothingness.

The Undead Jade Horse then burst into the Lord's Mansion, smashing the front doors to pieces, and that wasn't all—it charged straight through the mansion.

[Ding, Lord Zi Liyuan, you have destroyed Territory No. 5607's LV4 Lord's Mansion and obtained (Heart of the Castle) x1]

Looking at the Lord's Mansion ruined by the Undead Jade Horse, and at the fist-sized black castle-shaped stone that appeared before him, Zi Liyuan tossed it into his spatial belt without a second thought.

[Ding, Lord Zi Liyuan, for destroying the Lord's Mansion No. 5607, you have obtained resources from the mansion: Spirit Crystals x42, Energy x877, Experience Pool x880 EXP]

Looking at the Lord's Mansion, now reduced to a pile of rubble as the Heart of the Castle was taken, Zi Liyuan smiled slightly and turned toward the [Magic Library] not far away.

As the Lord's Mansion collapsed, buildings throughout the territory, under the claws of the Little Skeletons, were slowly dismantled into ruins.

Meanwhile, Zi Liyuan's ears were filled with alert sounds notifying him of the resources being collected.

Indeed, the resources gained from destroying and looting this territory were substantial, especially the stone materials, with roughly more than 30,000 of common quality and over a thousand of fine quality. The amount of wood resources was similarly no small amount, reaching over 10,000 of common quality and more than eight hundred of fine quality.

Common Iron Ingots and Copper Ingots were not much, barely breaking a thousand, with only a few hundreds of fine quality.

As for Silver Ingots and Gold Ingots, none were found, not even the ores for these two types of metal ingots.

Clearly, the lord of territory No. 5607 had yet to secure these somewhat scarce mineral resources.

Accompanied by the Undead Jade Horse, Zi Liyuan arrived in front of the LV1 [Magic Library], a single-story stone building.

Casually pushing open the door of the library, he found a few bookshelves, a long table, and several chairs inside. An enchanted light emanated from four magic lamps mounted on the stone walls, brightly illuminating the entire library.

Looking at the empty shelves, Zi Liyuan could only remark on how meager it was.

There were a mere five thin magic books in total, the slightly thicker one was a First Order magic tome, detailing the "Ice Arrow" spell. The rest were spells that did not even qualify for a rank.

"It seems that this No. 5607 lord is an Ice Mage, hopefully, he hasn't run away already."

Since Zi Liyuan had destroyed the opponent's territory and the Lord's Mansion, the other party would definitely receive a prompt from the Sea of Realms.

If the other party decided to flee, there would be nothing Zi Liyuan could do about it.

After collecting the five magic books into his spatial belt, Lord Zi decisively left the library, then placed his hand on the door, channelling his Spiritual Power out to envelop the entire [Magic Library].

[Ding, a LV1 (Magic Library) detected, would you like to commandeer or destroy it?]

"Destroy it, of course!"

A massive surge of Spiritual Power collapsed the stone building almost instantly, and then a blueprint drifted gently before him.

To commandeer meant dismantling a building and recovering a portion of the resources originally spent on its construction.

To destroy meant to demolish a building and then have a chance to obtain the building blueprint.

```

Lord Zi clung tightly to his lucky goddess wife's silky long legs, so drop rates were never an issue; thus, the building blueprints were a guaranteed drop.

"Thank goodness, after occupying enemy territory, looting resources is directly stored in one's own Lord panel; otherwise, transporting back such a large haul would be a huge hassle."

Watching the Skeleton Army dismantle the illegal constructions and gather piles of resources, especially those stored in the warehouses, Lord Zi couldn't help but complain endlessly.

"Eh, daring to come back to check, Lao Ma, to the west, let's go!"

On the edge of the displayed map, a solitary Ice Bird suddenly appeared, flying towards this territory.

Zi Liyuan, who had been monitoring the map for any irregularities, spotted it immediately and understood that Lord 5607 was using means to check the state of his territory.

Of course, there was no time to delay; Zi Liyuan leaped onto the back of the Undead Jade Horse and galloped towards the direction from which the Ice Bird was coming.

Within a few seconds, Zi Liyuan saw the Ice Bird flying in the sky and instantly shot a Shadow Arrow towards it.

The dark elements instantly corroded the hand-sized Ice Bird, blasting it into icy fragments.

At the same moment, the enemy's location appeared on the map in his mind, just over four thousand meters away.

However, Lord 5607 reacted very quickly; as soon as the Ice Bird was shattered, he turned tail and fled, riding an ice wolf, leaping forward through the rocks at an extremely fast speed.

But how could running on the ground ever outpace flight?

In just a few seconds, the Undead Jade Horse had caught up to him, following directly overhead.

"Hello!"

Zi Liyuan greeted with a smile, immediately firing another Shadow Arrow that shot with unerring accuracy just in front of the ice wolf, forcing it to halt.

"Zi Liyuan, I've already exposed your coordinates; you might as well wait for death!"

With shoulder-length light blue hair and ice-blue eyes, an alien from the Blue Star Human Race glared at Zi Liyuan, eyes filled with hatred.

"No worries, it would have come out sooner or later; I'm actually hoping someone would come and deliver themselves to death."

As Zi Liyuan spoke, he opened several chat channels; without exception, whether it was the World Channel 99, Town Area Channel 10086, or the Blue Star Human Race Channel, at this moment all displayed his location coordinates.

"Any last words?"

This Blue-Haired Ice Mage, if he had possessed a [Heart of the Lord], would surely have used it to escape upon knowing he was being chased.

Now fleeing on an ice wolf clearly indicated that he didn't have the [Heart of the Lord] or any treasure to flee the Sea of Realms.

What awaited this one then was nothing but a dead end.

To his enemies, Zi Liyuan always believed that only dead foes were the loveliest.

"Ice Arrow!"

The Mage's hands moved quickly in seals, and the enormous spiritual power instantly transformed into frost power, then coalesced into ice arrows that burst towards Zi Liyuan.

Dozens of Ice Arrows, like a crystal rainstorm, carried inexhaustible chill, as if intending to freeze Zi Liyuan completely.

"Bone Shield!"

A shield over ten meters wide, composed of countless skeletons, directly shielded Zi Liyuan.

Amid the "hissing" clash, numerous bone fragments were knocked from the Bone Shield, yet not a single Ice Arrow could penetrate its defense and strike Zi Liyuan and the Undead Jade Horse behind it.

"Is this all you've got?"

"Ice Crystal Spear!"

A five-meter-long spear, emanating pale blue coldness, silently broke through the Bone Shield and pierced a palm-sized hole right through it, plunging into the belly of the Undead Jade Horse.

Amid the "crackling" of shattering ice, countless fragments scattered.

A "-1314" red damage indicator appeared above the head of the Undead Jade Horse.
