Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

d other rare ores.

Rather than letting the various forest tribes fight and kill each other, it's better to have them all work for the Demon King instead.

Zhang Nu had nothing to do, so he opened up the chat menu and gave it a look.
He wanted to see how the other Demon Kings have been doing.

“The Heroes nowadays are acting way too arrogant.”

“Hahaha.
What's there to be afraid of? I just wiped out a hero party.
Those n00bs dare to covet my territory!”

“Demon Kings around the Thunderclap Canyon, please sound off.
Let's do an offline meeting and form a Demon King alliance.
We'll kill the shit out of those Hero Guild bitches!”

“Buying spirit field blueprint at high prices.
Anyone with them, please PM me ASAP!”

“Anyone in need of life gems? 2600 in total for 4 gems!”

“Heroes raided my altar when I was out.
My territory is already done for, and I'm now unfortunately a homeless Demon King.
Begging for someone to take me in, please!”

“…”

After reading through it some, there are a lot of topics regarding Heroes.

The conflict between Demon Kings and Heroes is heating up more and more.

This is only natural.
Demon Kings need to kill Heroes to level up, and Heroes need to kill Demon Kings to get Talents and get stronger quickly.
The two sides are basically natural enemies.

Due to not having found any useful information, Zhang Nu didn't want to waste anymore time and instead opened up the PM functionality and sent a message to Succubus Queen Han Kexin.

Zhang Nu: “Queen, you there? Got any new blueprints?”

Succubus Queen Han Kexin: “I do, but I'm only taking gold for them.
I'm not lacking in food right now, but I am really short on money.”

This Succubus Queen is no slouch.
Her personal might and her army is definitely one of the top among Demon Kings.

There's no way someone like that would be willing to rely on others to provide her food.
She may have already created her own production and supply and is starting to become self-sufficient.

Zhang Nu: “Money is no issue!”

Succubus Queen Han Keqin: “Nice.
I'll send you the information first then.
Then you can tell me the blueprints you want and what you're offering for them!”

With that, she sent 10 blueprints in a single go.

That girl really is quite rich in blueprints.

Zhang Nu gave it a look.
These blueprints are all pretty nice in terms of quality, but most of them aren't all that useful for Zhang Nu.
In the end, he only selected 2 of them.

[Blueprint: Barrier Tower].
Level 1 blueprint.
Costs 2000 gold, wind gems x5, Stone x500, wood x500.
The sser may summon a Barrier Tower within their territory.

[Blueprint: Detection Tower].
Level 1 blueprint.
Costs 2500 gold, earth gems x5, stone x500, wood x500.
The user may summon a Detection Tower within their territory.

Those two blueprints are both for defensive type structures.

After a Barrier Tower is constructed, it can create a 2000×2000 meter protective barrier.

Zhang Nu thinks that it's very useful.

Although the Demon King Altar has the barrier that comes with the Demon King Castle for protection, the goblin farms are still lacking in terms of protection.
If there's a raid from flying units, it would cause quite a bit of damages, and it would also disrupt production.

A barrier protecting it will keep it safe in such cases.

As for the Detection Tower, that's even more useful.

After this structure is activated, it'll act like a radar and scan an area within a 10 kilometer radius.
If any suspicious targets appear, then the Detection Tower will give an alert and allow the territory's soldiers to be prepared.

Zhang Nu still remembers his territory being infiltrated by the four Heroes not long ago.

Those four Heroes were able to sneak into the Castle without alerting anyone.
It was definitely a lesson for Zhang Nu.

The enemy is in the dark while he's in the light, so they're hard to guard against.

Just increasing the number of soldiers isn't enough to guarantee the territory's safety.

Zhang Nu needs this kind of high quality early warning device.

In the end, after a round of haggling with the Queen he bought the Barrier Tower blueprint for 18,000 gold and the Detection Tower blueprint for 45,000 gold.

Both are very useful structures, so their prices definitely won't be cheap.
Even so, that's not all that expensive for Zhang Nu.

Since he also had all the materials, he was able to finish constructing them in minutes.
Thus, the Darkness Valley territory is even safer now.

Following that, over two days' time, under the leadership of the young city lord and the Ancient Tree High Priestess, 5000 elven elites swept through the Giantree Forest and did a wholescale purge.

[You've slain an undead elf.
Gold +1200!]

[You've slain an undead elf.
Gold +1200!]

[You've slain an undead elf.
Gold +1200!]

[…]

The young city lord and the elves are all the Demon King's subordinates, and what a Demon King's subordinates kill counts as the Demon King's kills.

The monsters of Giantree Forest were quickly cleared out.

Over this process, Zhang Nu got nearly 600k gold.

At the same time, he also got the message denoting his successful conquest.

[You've conquered the Giantree Forest.
You gained a Mithril Treasure Chest!]
