[Night retreats, dawn arrives]
The experience bar for lv9 Monarch felt like a bottomless pit, making Alex wonder when she would finally reach King level.
Now that the dwarf kingdom was unified and the Orc Empire was off-limits due to the Holy Court, it seemed Alex had no more places to expand.
Alex didn't want to take unnecessary risks by confronting the Orc Empire's King level prematurely. Even if she reached King level, she might not be a match for the Orc King, who could be higher than lv1.
To continue developing, Alex had two options: head north or go to the Mossvale Continent. These were the best choices for now.
Alex took stock of her current forces.
She had 70 Monarch undead, including one lv8, two lv7, and ten lv6.
Her undead army totaled over 360,000.
She also had seven race kings: Arthur, Riven, and Arthas were lv5, Death Spirit was lv8, and the other three were still lv3.
