Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission-Chapter 107 Heading Towards Rock Oasis
Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Heading Towards Rock Oasis
Fang Jie was not incapable of summarizing; it was just that his thinking typically did not trend in that direction.
After this large-scale probing, both Fang Jie and Qin Lan were able to draw many conclusions about the Profession Tower. Fang Jie thought about it briefly, but then chose to disregard it, as these insights were of little use to him.
Qin Lan, on the other hand, planned to continue incorporating many people from Earth, and even natives, into her forces.
These matters were very important for developing a power, and the two had different attitudes towards them.
Fang Jie assigned Qin Lan to collect information on skills and cultivation techniques and then broke off contact. On this point, they were quite consistent, agreeing that they should collect as much as possible to use in the future.
A few days later, some intelligence from within the desert gradually made its way into Fang Jie’s hands.
"Desert Lizardmen and Desert Snake-men don’t live together, do they? Their relationship is one of rulers and the ruled, not mutual dependence, although this is also normal."
"Our investigations show that the Desert Lizardmen are scattered across various locations, whereas the Desert Snake-men, due to their stronger resilience, can live together on a large scale."
"The Desert Lizardmen have a tribal structure, with the smaller tribes numbering a few hundred to a thousand, and the large ones even reaching tens of thousands."
"What about the Desert Snake-men, where do they gather?"
"The Desert Snake-men gather in larger areas and in greater numbers. The most populated area is near the Rock Oasis in the central region, with at least two million, possibly even more."
"So many? What do they live on, even an oasis wouldn’t have that many resources."
Fang Jie had previously experimented with this in the desert and found he couldn’t construct farmland. It was only possible near some oases, but even then, it was hard to maintain.
Building farmland didn’t mean you could unscientifically break all the rules.
At the very least, the desert could devour these farmlands, which was normal.
Without the protection of the world’s rules, most of these oases would likely disappear.
"Our investigations show there’s a segment of an underground river near the Rock Oasis that emerges above ground over a length of more than one kilometer. After a kilometer, the river retreats underground again, and they survive by relying on that stretch of the river."
As long as there was a water source, life could be sustained.
"I see, then exterminate those various tribes first. We can’t let them cause trouble in the surroundings."
The tribes weren’t small in number, and it would be troublesome to have to watch out for them while engaged in battle. Not to mention the threat to one’s own territory, the mining areas would be affected as well.
Fang Hao obeyed the command, and then the heroes started leading their troops out.
Fang Jie took a glance at the map, feeling somewhat helpless as, although it marked many things, the location and strength of the tribes were not accurately noted.
Those near an oasis were one thing, but many tribes roamed the desert itself, and without reconnaissance, their positions remained unclear. As the results of the reconnaissance came in, a vast number of Undead began sweeping over the desert.
Due to their movements, the eastern region of the desert started descending into complete chaos.
A large number of Desert Snake-men and Desert Lizardmen began converging towards the Rock Oasis. Influenced by them, other tribes in distant areas that received the news also gathered there.
They all realized that this was a battle for control over the desert.
If they failed, continuing to survive in the desert would be nearly impossible. Moreover, once they entered the Blue Sand Kingdom, whether or not they could adapt was one question, but even if they could, they’d be captured and enslaved.
The Blue Sand Empire was a kingdom dominated by humans; they would not welcome these Desert Alien Races.
Seeing the large numbers of Desert Snake-men and Desert Lizardmen gathering, Fang Jie did not concern himself with them. It was convenient to have them all together; a battle could settle it completely.
However, as the gathering continued, Fang Jie realized he might have underestimated the situation because the numbers of the opposing force began to swell alarmingly. Not just them, his own forces also kept growing.
"We can’t wait any longer; if all the forces in the desert region come together, we may not be a match for them." ƒreewebɳovel.com
"If they all come together, won’t food be an issue? That could starve them out."
Fang Hao shook his head, "No, there are already signs of trouble. If there’s not enough food, they will resort to devouring each other. If this continues, it will be them who initiate an attack on us. Right now, our defensive capabilities cannot ignore such numbers."
"Alright, if that’s the case, then let’s move out. Launch a preemptive attack."
Fang Jie finally gave the order to advance towards the Rock Oasis.
The massive force crafted in this period, along with those originally brought and those split off by Fang Jie, amounted to nearly nine million in total. An imposing mass that looked spectacularly vast.
The entire desert region, it was as if a white semicolon had appeared, very conspicuous.
Leaving a portion behind, Fang Jie led eight million of the Undead Army towards the front. With such an enormous army, no one dared to block their path along the way as it would be suicidal.
"To reach the Rock Oasis will take at least a day and a night, so let’s rest a bit first."
Fang Jie did not head out directly but decided to wait until they were almost there, then fly over on a Mechanical Flying Eagle. Running such a long distance on the road was not a wise choice.
Even so, it was fortunate that the road was flat and unwinding; coupled with leveraging the characteristic of the territory behind, desert terrain could be ignored. Those Skeletons wouldn’t tire, capable of running continuously for a day and a night.
If it were an army comprised of regular lifeforms, without three days they wouldn’t make it—and that’s if nothing unexpected happened.
"Fortunately, there are no quicksand formations along the way; otherwise, we would have to detour."
That was the greatest use of the map. Facing quicksand, even if one could disregard the desert environment, one would still sink. The territory’s functionality did not include ignoring quicksand.
Fang Jie’s movement was immediately noticed by the Desert Snake-men on the other side.
Then, under the command of the Desert Snake-men, their troops began preparing as well. They certainly did not want to engage in battle on their home turf at the oasis; that would not be good.
In a battle of such a scale, hiding beneath the sand was practically useless, and they didn’t dare to spread out.
