[Night retreats, dawn arrives]

Today is the last day of the leaderboard event, and Alex is very focused on her ranking.

She checked and saw that she had pulled nearly ten points ahead of the Justice Alliance. They had no chance of catching up.

Indeed, killing Raphaela was the right move, dropping her to lv1 Monarch and severely limiting her development.

Alex stepped out of the palace. The resources seized from the Hardbeard clan had arrived, and Alex processed them, upgrading Undead City.

It took the resources from an orc camp and a dwarf clan to upgrade Undead City by one level.

There were still some surplus resources in the warehouse, which Alex used to charge a few fortress Essence Shards for future use.

Undead City's area expanded again, with a significant portion of its eastern territory now extending into the Dark Forest.
