Because of the severe pain, sweat dripped down his temples.

The pain in his skin was secondary. The main thing was that he felt pain inside his body.

That was the pain that came from the soul.

The mark of the undead is different from the marks of other races. It is not only branded on the body, but also directly on the soul. It is more ferocious than the marks of other races.

Fortunately, the pain did not last long, and a white skull pattern appeared on the forehead of the older wanderer.

The Skeleton Knight withdrew his hand, motioned him to step aside, and looked down at the young wanderer.

The young wanderer's eyes were a little evasive, not daring to look at the Skeleton Knight, but when he looked at the older wanderer and saw the encouragement in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, closed his eyes and offered his arm to the Skeleton Knight.

The Skeleton Knight reached out and touched her arm.

"ah……"

The young wanderer screamed in pain, but the sound disappeared in an instant. The little guy gritted his teeth, endured the pain, tears streaming down his face, but refused to scream again.

A white skull appeared, and the Skeleton Knight pointed to the side. The young wanderer staggered to the side of the older wanderer, who embraced him and gently rubbed the mark.

With someone taking the lead, the other wanderers no longer hesitated and lined up to move forward.

Pain is inevitable, but it is inevitable sooner or later.

The few people who escaped before them had already told them that if they wanted to resist the undead, they had to be prepared to die.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

On the other side, the undead prepared food and brought it over.

Anyone who has been branded with the mark of the undead can go to the undead to receive food.

The wanderers were very happy to be able to have a full meal, and the pain they had just experienced was forgotten.

After everyone was branded with the mark of the undead, the black warrior gave them two days to rest, and then headed towards the border of the territory under the protection of the undead.

Along the way, everything was fine except the need to hurry.

Wandering around is the daily routine of wanderers, and now they have no complaints about rushing on their journey, not to mention that under the protection of the undead, there are no threats such as wild beasts and monsters, and they have meals on time.

When they arrived at the designated border location, they saw piles of supplies.

Most of them are stones and wood, which are used for them to build houses.

Since Li Ziyu plans to build a city on the border, he naturally needs houses.

He transported these stones and wood to the border using a corpse transport truck.

As for what the city will look like, it is also very simple. Li Ziyu plans to build a smaller city first. The urban planning is a pure grid, with a total of four areas and two main roads.

The style of the house was also regulated. The main structure was made of stone, with wooden roof supports. The appearance was very unique, especially like a tomb...

It takes time to build enough houses for 20,000 people.

Li Ziyu was too lazy to wait and directly sent the skeleton undead to help with the construction.

With the help of these hardworking and sleepless undead, I believe the construction speed will be greatly improved.

The first house was built by the undead, serving as a model for others.

Although there are undead to help, it does not mean that others can sit idle. They also need to work.

The large-scale construction projects on the border naturally aroused the vigilance of the ratmen.

They sent people to investigate, but the undead did not attack these people, nor did they interfere too much with them. They just let them watch at will.

“Isn’t it a military building?”

"What on earth are these undead trying to do?"

The newly appointed lords of the city of Ilemaha sat together and studied the intelligence sent back by the spies.

They don't understand the undead, or rather, no one understands the undead.

This situation is very distressing.

Whenever the undead make any move, they become very alert.

The previous lords of the upper and lower cities were overthrown by the undead, and they don’t want to repeat the same mistake.

When they came to take over as the lord of Ilemaha, someone among the rat people gave them a hint, asking them to find a way to regain the lost territory.

The ratmen have never been the kind of race that allows themselves to be bullied. Although they ceded their territory to the undead due to rules, they were not willing to let it go.

If given the chance, they would still launch an attack on the undead to wash away their past shame.

The undead have proven their strength to the ratmen. The newly appointed lords of the upper and lower cities did not intend to start a war directly, but wanted to understand the undead first and then make a decision.

"Should we send someone to contact the undead?" The city lord said after thinking for a while.

"It's not appropriate. Let's first see what the other party is going to do. Didn't the spy say that the other party doesn't seem to be building military buildings?" The lower city lord shook his head and said.

"Well, then I'll listen to you." The city lord nodded in agreement without saying much.

In terms of subordinate relationship, the power of the lower city lord is greater than that of the upper city lord. The one who makes the final decision is the lower city lord, not him, the upper city lord.

The city lord's task is to develop the economy, develop the above-ground part of the ratman city-state, and provide nutrients for the underground part.

The lower city lord controls the real power of each city-state, including the army.

Under the attention of the rat people, the border city changed day by day, with new houses being built every day. They also roughly realized that a small city was being built.

The undead are actually building a city!

The lords of the upper and lower cities of the Ilemaha city-state breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are some doubts about the undead building a city, it is better than building military facilities.

The other party building a city is a good signal, which means that there is a high probability that there will be exchanges between the two sides in the future.
