Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission-Chapter 91 The Lizardman Rebellion
Chapter 91: Chapter 91 The Lizardman Rebellion
The situation on the north side was temporarily resolved, so what remained was the outcome of the exploration on the west side of the territory.
It was just that Fang Jie had barely returned to his territory and hadn’t even had time to study his own skills when he received an unexpected piece of news.
"Lord, the Lizardmen have rebelled," a Skeleton Hero subordinate rushed over and told Fang Jie. Had it not been for the absolute loyalty of the Skull Soldiers, Fang Jie would have thought this guy was joking.
"Rebelling? What’s the reason?" Fang Jie was genuinely perplexed.
Although these Lizardmen possessed a certain amount of strength, they had not yet reached the level necessary to contend with him.
"It’s unclear, but they previously attacked our transport channels. Lord Fang Hao’s messages from the other side have been cut off—we assume he has already noticed the change here."
Fang Jie had sent Fang Hao to the west for exploration, but because the central passage was too narrow, the exploration was not easy. Fang Jie hadn’t expected the Lizardmen to sever this passage as well.
Even if there were over a million Skeleton Soldiers on Fang Hao’s side, flattening a large area of swamp land was not an easy task. Moreover, this severely disrupted his own plans.
Recently, Fang Jie had intended to promote Jia Siwei to nobility, infiltrating the inner circle of the New Moon Kingdom.
However, in their dealings, not only the ongoing activities but also trading materials like medicinal herbs and agarwood were very important. Now, with the Lizardmen’s rebellion, his side was in trouble.
Although he had a large stockpile on hand, it could only last for two months by his estimates.
"What about Ganier, what did he say? With a rebellion, the oath should directly backlash; there must be a reason, right?"
"I’m sorry, we haven’t been able to contact Ganier," Fang Jie said, speechless.
It wasn’t just Ganier who had sworn the oath but also a large number of Lizardman soldiers who participated in the battle. While the oath wasn’t as strict as a contract, the backlash was just as potent.
If they rebelled, especially without reason, such a backlash could cause most of the Lizardmen immense pain and even severely affect their living conditions. It was unlikely they would take such steps lightly.
"It looks like I need to check it out myself."
Thinking this, Fang Jie immediately ordered, "Mobilize the troops; we are heading to the swamp area immediately."
Fang Jie glanced at his panel, feeling satisfied with his military strength.
Military Strength: Skeleton Labor: Level 3 500,000, Skull Soldiers: Level 3 5,410,630, Skeleton Shooters: Level 3 3,573,014, Skeleton Warriors: Level 5 20,000, Skeleton Cavalry: Level 5 20,000, White Bone Worms: Level 5 1,600, Skeleton Generals: Level 7 500, White Bone War Elephants: Level 7 200, Mechanical Flying Eagles: Level 5 500, Stone Puppets: Level 5 500
After considering, Fang Jie started to mobilize the troops, taking along just fifty thousand Skeleton Laborers, as most of them were mostly engaged in construction projects across various locations and could not be readily redirected.
Thinking further, Fang Jie decided to take three million Skeleton Soldiers and two million Skeleton Shooters, a total of five million. He left the rest to guard the base, especially since the swamp was not an easy place to tackle.
He decided to bring along all the other high-quality units as well.
The White Bone Worms could, to some extent, be used as a Magic System force, although not comprehensively.
Skeleton Generals and White Bone War Elephants attained these numbers thanks to the continuous battles which had allowed the collection of some bronze corpses. There were also some obtained from trading with other figures.
Finally, Fang Jie decided to focus extensively on the Stone Puppets, using most of the traded materials to manufacture them. With the power fully unfurled, he managed to gather five hundred in this period.
Unfortunately, the Alchemy Workshop had not been upgraded to Level 7, so the products were not the strongest possible.
Yet even so, the combat power of these Stone Puppets was stronger than that of the Skeleton Generals; two or three could face a White Bone War Elephant directly—their combat power was indeed substantial.
Fang Jie, leading his troops, made his vigorous way westward.
"After repairing the roads, the speed is fast," Fang Jie observed the makeshift roads on the ground, nodding in satisfaction. Although simple, Skeleton Soldiers were not very heavy.
Even the heaviest White Bone War Elephant did not cause much damage to the roads.
After traveling swiftly for half a day, Fang Jie arrived at the Great Swamp area with his elite units. The remaining groups were still on their way, needing at least two days to reach this location.
At this moment, the area under Fang Jie’s control was not small anymore, and traveling back and forth was starting to take days.
While the speed of ordinary Skeleton Soldiers was about the same as a human’s light jog, they didn’t need to rest and could travel day and night.
"Is this the place? This swamp really isn’t suitable for anyone," Fang Jie looked at the vast expanse in front of him, seemingly a water area, but actually full of mud pits and marshy areas, with large trees often visible on the water surface.
Such terrain spread far and wide, adding a touch of wonder.
His Skeleton Soldiers, entering this type of terrain, could easily sink their legs into the marsh and then struggle to move.
Conversely, Fang Jie discovered that his White Bone War Elephants and White Bone Worms could actually adapt to this terrain. The White Bone Worms, essentially large worms, could move easily on the soft ground.
The White Bone Giants manage maybe due to their large foot pads, which could support their own weight.
Though they were the heaviest, they exerted less pressure on the ground compared to the Skeleton Soldiers. After experimenting, Fang Jie was genuinely surprised.
"Lord, this place was originally a temporary outpost. The materials provided by the Lizardmen were usually stored here, but it has now been abandoned,"
a Skeleton Hero pointed towards an empty space in front, next to which lay some broken pieces of wood indicating what might have once been a wooden fence.
Lizardmen residing in the swamps had no specific dwellings and did not build structures.
Their usual way of living was simply lying down to sleep under trees or in bushes.
Compared to the savagery, they were even more primitive than the Beastmen.
"I’ll see what exactly happened here," Fang Jie summoned several Death Crows and released them. The Death Crows flew deep into the Great Swamp while Fang Jie shifted his gaze upwards.
As he progressed, Fang Jie gradually spotted a large number of Lizardmen. However, these Lizardmen were working.
Indeed, the Lizardmen, who had always relied on hunting to survive, were now cultivating some crops unique to swamps.
