185: Lester Manor!! Mondo Monster!!

“Hiss... My manor is a bit close to the Ancient Battlefield's Northern Frontline...”

Ye Ze opened the map to check and found that his location was very close to the Northern Frontline of the Ancient Battlefield.

The Ancient Battlefield is the core area where professionals battle against Orcs and Demons, and it is also the dividing line between the forces of the Church of Mystra and the Orc forces.

This battlefront, stretching for ten thousand miles, separates the Elf, the Church of Mystra forces from the Orc and Demon forces.

The various forces have been in a stalemate here for many years, with continuous large-scale battles, and the flames of war have never ceased.

Despite the dangers of the Ancient Battlefield, it still attracts a large number of professionals, including Sergeants from Dragon Country.

Dragon Country has dispatched many Sergeants to garrison the frontline, partly in response to the conscription of the Church of Mystra and the Elf, and partly because the Ancient Battlefield contains countless opportunities.

Not only are there a large number of Corpse Fiend Dungeons here, but ruin dungeons also appear frequently.

Therefore, even though it is fraught with danger, professionals from various countries still flock here.

But the Lester Grand Manor being so close to the battlefront is a bit problematic.

What if the Orc or Demon forces break through the battlefront one day and directly raid the Lester Grand Manor?

At that time, will he abandon it, or abandon it...

Ye Ze suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

“If soldiers come, block them; if water comes, cover it with earth...” Ye Ze muttered softly.

Worrying about these things now is pointless.

In any case, improving the overall combat power of the manor is the top priority.

Currently, there is only one Ghoul Doctor in the manor. Let alone Demons or Orcs attacking, even if a group of wild monsters from the surroundings came, his manor could be destroyed again.

“First, I have to get the Corpse Ghoul Factory running, produce Corpse Fiends, and build up basic combat power...”

Ye Ze thought to himself.

He found the Ghoul Doctor and was about to ask him about producing Corpse Fiends.

Just then—

Boom!!

A violent tremor came from above.

“What’s going on?” Ye Ze frowned.

“Monsters from around the manor have broken in,” the Ghoul Doctor explained. “After the trial rules disappeared, the sealing light barrier outside the manor also dissipated.”

Hearing this, Ye Ze closed his eyes and meditated.

This time, in addition to the Corpse Ghoul Factory, a 3D thumbnail of 'Lester Grand Manor' above the factory also clearly appeared in his mind.

Ye Ze quickly observed the situation inside the manor.

Soon, his gaze locked onto the location of the manor garden—roughly directly above his head.

A gigantic monster, over three zhang tall, with purplish-blue skin, looking like a giant zombie, was wantonly trampling his garden.

Looking further up, there was a large wave of giant zombies on the way to the manor gate.

Ye Ze opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the Ghoul Doctor.

The Ghoul Doctor bowed slightly, saying with a hint of coyness, “Your subordinate is willing to fight for the lord.

However, your subordinate is only level 15. If I go out to fight, the opponent will be completely unharmed. I fear that before I complete the task, my entire body will already be shattered.”

If you don’t want to go, just say so. As the chief designer of the Corpse Ghoul Factory, it's not like I can force you...

Ye Ze couldn't help but roll his eyes.

There was no one available in the manor, so in the end, he, the lord, had to go himself.

The entrance to the Corpse Ghoul Factory is located deep within the garden.

Clack clack clack clack~~!

With a sound of grinding stone slabs, the ground deep in the garden slowly cracked open, and two stone slabs moved to the sides, revealing a dark opening.

Hoo hoo hoo!!

Attracted by the sound, the giant monster approached the opening curiously, emitting a hoarse low growl from its mouth.

The next moment—

Swish!!

A cold light suddenly shone brightly!

Puchi!!

The blade light, like a hot knife cutting into butter, easily sliced open the giant beast's chest.

Splash!!

Blood rained down.

————————

Fortunately, the monster's combat power wasn't high, and it fell with one strike.

However, looking at the huge corpse on the ground, Ye Ze suddenly fell into thought.

The Corpse Fiends produced by the Corpse Ghoul Factory are at most level 15. Even if they are produced, what use are they? To be stomped flat by a Mundo Beast?

Roar roar!!

An angry roar came, interrupting Ye Ze's thoughts.

He looked up and saw a group of Mundo Beasts pouring out from the direction of the manor gate.

Thump thump thump!!!

Under the heavy footsteps of the Mundo Beasts, the ground shook.

“I'm acting more like a thug as a lord.”

Ye Ze sighed, then his figure flickered, leaving trails of afterimages in the void as he sped towards the Mundo Beasts.

Swish swish!! Swish swish!! Swish swish!!

Streaks of cold light cut through the silence of the manor.

Wherever the blade light passed, it easily cut the Mundo Beasts in half, as if cutting tofu...

In the laboratory on the third floor of the Corpse Ghoul Factory, the Ghoul Doctor was busy placing the corpses of Mundo Beasts into a device he called the “Active Matter Extraction Machine”.

This device resembled a large furnace, emitting a cold, hard sheen.

“The extraction efficiency of the Mundo Beast is very high, estimated to be close to 50%,” the Ghoul Doctor said excitedly.

Ye Ze nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.

With this device, the corpses of killed monsters were fully utilized, essentially achieving the function of corpse recycling.

In the end, all 17 Mundo Beasts killed by Ye Ze were refined into Active Matter, totaling 3400 units.

This Active Matter is enough to produce 34 ordinary Corpse Fiends.

Producing Corpse Fiends with attributes requires 1/2 Tier 1 Elemental Crystal Core plus 100 units of Active Matter, while ordinary Corpse Fiends only need 100 units of Active Matter.

Although the combat power of Level 15 Corpse Fiends is limited, the manor has been abandoned for a long time and urgently needs manpower for repairs.

Especially the three large holes in the front gate and side gate of the manor, they must be plugged as soon as possible!

Otherwise, the surrounding monsters might treat his manor as their own backyard, entering and exiting freely.

Gurgle—gurgle—

Large amounts of Active Matter were transported through fleshy pipelines to the rock walls on the first and second floors of the factory. The fleshy cocoons embedded in the rock walls gradually bulged, and small Corpse Fiends could vaguely be seen forming within them.

“You continue to produce Corpse Fiends here, I'll go clear out the surrounding monsters.”
