Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission-Chapter 99 The Desert Blueprint is Useful Now

"Lord, these Lobster Men, when they enter the water, seem to be able to actively absorb water," Cosette suddenly asked Fang Jie. Fang Jie’s eyes lit up as he also thought of something.

"What a great idea, I hadn’t thought of it—Lobster Men can be filled with poisonous liquid that, upon their death, bursts and creates damage, especially potent in water. They could also be filled with combustible oil and run into crowds to wreak havoc."

This was far more powerful than any Fire Bull Formation; all of them were fearless.

Before burning themselves out completely, they would never stop, especially seeking out areas with many enemies.

The four-legged Lobster Men were actually not slow, and they were not without lethality. If used well, the combat power they could unleash was formidable.

"Indeed, Lord, you are wise. My thought was, could they be used to transport goods?"

Cosette felt somewhat embarrassed; he hadn’t thought of that at all.

Fang Jie frowned, "Transporting goods is a good idea, but it seems not feasible." The Lobster Men absorb and expel water through the pores on their bodies, adapted for water battles.

Otherwise, if their bodies were empty, they would just float up, making combat impossible.

But if they were to be used for transport, their shells would have to be forcibly cut open, which would be damaging for the Death Lobster Men. Most critically, it didn’t seem very useful.

"Forget it, you can research it yourself later."

Seeing how useful these Lobster Men were, and their enormous potential for various applications, Fang Jie decided to use up the remaining blueprints.

Though there were no more Bronze Level Lobster Men, the change was insignificant, as the existing Death Lobster Men could be upgraded directly. By using some, Bronze Level Death Lobster Men also appeared.

Death Lobster Man Level 7: Level (Bronze) Giant Claw, Water Battle, Water Dividing Needle, Dual-Handed Weapon Mastery

Recruitment requirement: 2 units of Bronze Corpse Bones, 3000 spirit points.

Indeed, the cost was much higher than similar troops, but the added capability of underwater combat was quite significant.

Fang Jie experimented a bit with this Death Lobster Man’s performance, and it was basically the same as before. The additional skill, which was used for wielding weapons, allowed them to handle long dual-handed weapons quite flexibly.

However, since they needed to battle in water, ordinary metal weapons were not suitable.

Since he didn’t have blueprints for Bronze Level weapons, they had to go without any weapons.

"Although the combat power will be affected, we won’t make too many for now, so let’s just make do with this. It’s a pity we can’t produce Apprentice Level ones; otherwise, we’d have our expendable troop type."

Fang Jie was speechless; did he really have to use those Death Lizardmen, which would surely pollute the oceanic environment?

Without the capability to create and modify new troops, this was the only option. It seemed that oceanic exploitation was still a far off prospect; he’d consider producing Apprentice Level Lobster Men later.

The next day, Fang Jie discovered that Fang Hao had come from another direction into the Great Swamp.

"You’re back so quickly, how are things over there?"

"We’ve secured a foothold in the desert region, obtaining a territory, but expanding there isn’t easy. Fortunately, the harsh environment poses a greater disadvantage to our opponents than to us."

Fang Hao continued, "The area is primarily populated by Desert Snake-men and Desert Lizardmen. Desert Lizardmen are fewer, with more Desert Snake-men, who are most troublesome because they can hide in the sand and launch surprise attacks. But their potent venom has little effect on us, and recent fights have caused losses on both sides."

"If we carry out a large-scale sweep, I’m confident we could completely clear the desert within a month."

Fang Jie nodded, "First tell me, have you checked all the locations I asked you to investigate?"

Fang Hao pulled out a map, "We’ve checked them all. There’s indeed a small mountain peak here, and the oasis here resisted strongly. There’s an area of quicksand here, just like you said."

Fang Jie smiled; the desert map he obtained was finally useful.

That map had been with them for some time, but he had never known which place it depicted. Otherwise, after discovering this desert, he wouldn’t have had Fang Hao first explore a few obvious points.

Now that it was confirmed, things were different. "This desert is rich in minerals; with this place, we won’t lack copper or iron in the future, and even gold and some special metals will meet our needs."

Fang Jie took out his own map, "Good, there are also Crystal Ore Veins here, which are Energy Baryte; from now on, we also won’t lack Crystal Stone Powder. With this, our army of Puppets could be created."

This desert truly was a treasure trove for him.

"So, shall we attack there now?"

"Wait a moment, have you clarified the situation around the desert?"

Fang Hao nodded, "The desert area is vast, larger than the region we currently control, but it’s extremely desolate. We’ve already found three abandoned territories; there might be more further in."

Abandoned territories—unexpected that there were so many there, but it was unknown if the Desert Snake-men would utilize them.

However, undeveloped territories, even if utilized, wouldn’t be of much use.

"We found that outside the desert, it seems to be the Blue Sand Kingdom; this desert is right in the middle of Blue Sand Kingdom. Since it has always been useless, the Blue Sand Kingdom hasn’t bothered with this place."

It seemed the opponent didn’t know about the mineral resources in this strip of desert. In that case, he would gladly take it.

As long as the opponent didn’t come looking for trouble, there wouldn’t be an issue. As for after occupying it, Fang Jie didn’t believe the opponent would risk huge losses to fight a group of undead in the desert.

If this strip of desert really extended into the opponent’s heartland, he would be able to strike at them anytime.

At that moment, whether it was the New Moon Kingdom or the Blue Sand Kingdom, it seemed he might have an opportunity to intervene. He just didn’t know how strong they were; thinking of the opponent’s strength, Fang Jie dismissed that idea.

"According to our research, among the Desert Snake-men, there seem to be Silver Level powerhouses; not sure how many, but probably not many."

"No problem, just push the army forward. You’ve reached the Bronze Peak, so go raise your level first."

Fang Hao shook his head, "I am a Skeleton General; my limit is Silver and doesn’t require the Training Tower for improvement. I am already at the Silver Level." Hearing this, Fang Jie immediately opened his panel.
