Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission-Chapter 96: The Affiliated Village - Swamp Village
Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Affiliated Village - Swamp Village
In the sky, a black and a white force collided fiercely, to the point that a ring of explosive air could be seen around them.
However, in the next moment, the black spear disintegrated, while the white spear continued forward. Cosette felt a sense of dread, knowing it was already too late to escape.
The spear pierced through the wooden fence ahead, followed by a puncture through Cosette’s abdomen.
Cosette, who had taken one step too late to flee, was torn in half in an instant and fell to the ground with a terrible scream.
The next moment, Fang Jie had already controlled the Double Dragon Formation, and plunged fiercely into the enemy’s city wall, which crumbled instantly. Fang Jie’s figure flashed past, and Cosette’s head was separated from his body.
The moment the lord died, all the soldiers seemed to sense something, their morale instantly plummeted, and they almost lost their combat power. When facing the undead, the Lizardman warriors felt even more powerless.
"Native Lizardmen who surrender will not be killed. Capture those soldiers who surrender; they can be used as materials later."
After all, real living beings and those that are created are different. Although the natives had betrayed before, sparing their lives could be used to develop the swamp even better.
As for the soldiers, before they became Hero Units, Fang Jie never considered them as normal creatures.
His Skeleton Heroes understood Fang Jie’s intention immediately, with Skeleton Heroes up front shouting the slogan "Surrender and you will not be killed." Those Lizardmen, who were already tortured, lost the will to fight when they saw the Lizardman warriors experiencing issues.
Now hearing the shouting, they dropped their weapons at the first chance.
After the death of Cosette, the battle lasted for less than half an hour only because a bunch of die-hards needed to be identified and cleared. Otherwise, it would have been even faster.
"Not bad, not bad, this battle was really quick. Now my strength doesn’t seem too shabby, does it?"
Fang Jie observed the battlefield, not minding too much about losing a few bronze-level soldiers due to the terrain. He had Bronze Corpse Bones in the warehouse, which he could use to replenish them if he desired.
"Continue building the roads; I’m going to take a look."
By that time, the entire territory was already under control, with Skeleton Heroes distinguishing the natives from the created soldiers.
The natives swore fealty anew, and the backlash from their oaths gradually disappeared. However, it would probably take more than a day or two to return to their former state.
"There’s actually a treasure chest, but just like they said, the loot has shrunk."
Fang Jie recalled discussions saying that recently, rewards from battle had been diminishing, seeming to be the intervention of the world’s rules.
Whether it was for the world’s balance or some other reason remained unknown.
If it was just an automatic adjustment by the world, that would be one thing; if someone was behind it, that would be truly chilling.
Nevermind, why bother worrying about it now? There’s no meaning in thinking too much before reaching that level.
Opening the treasure chest, Fang Jie immediately got two blueprints: the White Bone Armor Synthesis Diagram and the Death Energy Tower Blueprint, both of bronze level—befitting of a bronze-level treasure chest indeed.
Attacking a territory not belonging to Earth people and gaining benefits was an unexpected joy, but it was rather disappointing to get only a Bronze Treasure Chest after such a battle.
The rest of the items were just resources and common weapons, nothing of value.
Death Energy Tower (Bronze): A defense unit, equipped with death energy attack capabilities.
Building requirements: 50 units of Refined Stone Bricks, 100 units of Yin Gathering Stones, 3000 units of spirit points.
This Death Energy Tower was quite nice, serving as a territory defense building just like the Black Stone Statue, using death energy to attack but with power directly elevated to the bronze level.
"Let’s try it when I get back. If a significant number of bronze-level defenses fire simultaneously, at least someone of the silver level might not withstand it. I wonder how long a gold-level individual could last."
Fang Jie considered the building requirements. Although numerous, they were within his current manufacturing capabilities. He could certainly create a circle of them around his main base.
White Bone Armor Synthesis Diagram (Bronze): Synthesizes a set of White Bone Armor including a full-body suit of armor, horse armor, helmet, and gloves. One craft yields ten sets; requires a bronze-level Weapon Processing Factory.
Manufacturing requires: 5 units of Black Iron Corpse Bones, 1 unit of Bronze Corpse Bones, 10,000 spirit points.
White Bone Armor was equipment, intended for cavalry it seemed. It was bronze level and covered the whole body. Although crafting it yielded ten sets, the cost did not seem cheap.
The key issue wasn’t anything else but the needed Corpse Bones, which he didn’t have in abundance.
It appeared that the undead had their own limitations; if not, the world would have been ruled by the undead long ago. The main issue for development was the constraint of Corpse Bones.
Having powerful Corpse Bones would allow the creation of more troop types and equipment, but while alive, these bones represented considerable strength. Too many of them, and the undead might be destroyed outright.
"Nevermind, there’ll be a way," Fang Jie shook his head.
The item was equipment; he couldn’t cause it to undergo Fission. Besides, he did have a Weapon Processing Factory, but it was only of Black Iron level; crafting was impossible.
The most crucial point was that he didn’t seem to have any bronze-level Cavalry units yet.
Even if he made it, who would use it? The Skeleton General was too large; even half the equipment wouldn’t be of any use—it simply wouldn’t fit. And there was no point even considering the War Elephants.
Forget about it, focus on taking control of this territory for now, Fang Jie thought, entering the Lord Mansion.
"Detection confirms it meets the occupation criteria. Would you like to occupy the territory, or choose to destroy it?"
"Occupy."
"The occupation of the territory has begun. Would you like to convert it into an Undead Camp unit?"
Fang Jie thought for a moment, then said, "Convert." The entire Territory began to change, withering little by little.
"The Territory Talent begins to convert. Conversion complete, please name the new territory."
Without a second thought, Fang Jie declared, "Swamp Village." After all, this place was originally a swamp.
"Naming successful." The prompt ended there, and the entire territory transformed into a Fang Jie Affiliated Territory. Fang Jie could feel that the territory had already established a connection with him.
"Let’s take a look and see what changes this territory has," he thought. The previously occupied Affiliated Territory had almost no development, consisting only of basic buildings. But this territory was different; its level was already not low.
