The lord is red again

"The chaos in the Black Swamp Kingdom..."

'Bloodless Prince' Ostis frowned and looked at the thick stack of scrolls sent to him.

Since the magic ring was broken, Ostis was in a daze for a long time, but when he passed by a place, he saw a pregnant woman with a big belly. The reason was that she was ruthlessly abandoned because she was pregnant with the child of a local noble as a mistress.

Ostis saved the woman, but the woman died beside him.

After that day, Ostis had a different mind. There was no need for this chaotic world and nobles who did nothing to exist.

"Bloodless" means that he has no noble blood.

He was sent to the throne of the new nobles by his followers, and then he successfully stepped onto the "hero level" with his own efforts.

His goal was to quell the war in the Black Swamp Kingdom and prevent the invasion of the Great Rift of the Abyss, but the power under his command was still too small. Even if he found some mysterious undead people and they were willing to serve him, it was still not enough.

This will be a battle that will take several years, perhaps more than ten years.

Ostis had made sufficient preparations, but he didn't expect that a group of undead suddenly appeared a few days ago. These undead were different from the undead that had appeared in the Black Swamp Kingdom. They were very powerful and carried the breath of the abyss.

The abyss infected the undead!

Ostis was very worried, so he sent people to rush over immediately to prepare to obstruct, but what he didn't expect was that the undead were still rational.

There was no hostility, and they were very willing to communicate.

"They took the initiative to eliminate the disasters nearby."

When Ostis looked at the information uploaded by the scroll, he couldn't help but start to get confused.

"Then what?"

"It's the same as the undead that appeared in the Black Swamp Kingdom, just like mercenaries, and they will be rewarded for everything they do."

"That's not a problem!" Ostis was surprised.

If there is such a powerful undead army, whether it is to unify the Black Swamp Kingdom to end the melee or to fight against the abyss rift, there should be no problem.

Now Ostis's problem is that the army is not strong enough.

"But their asking price is a bit high."

"How high?"

"They want excellent weapons, secret treasures, alchemical materials, and the Heart of Disaster."

"Heart of Disaster? I remember we still have dozens of them." Ostis waved his hand, "If you can hire them, use them to hire them."

"Yes!"

Two days later, the soldiers who went to investigate came back again.

"Your Highness!"

"How is it?"

"Some strange figures appeared among the undead."

"Mutants?"

The "new nobles" of the new era are more adaptable to this era than the old nobles.

"Yes." The soldier nodded.

"That means they may believe in evil gods." At this stage, in addition to drinking potions that cause the body to grow uncontrollably in a direction closer to magic and cause deformation, there are only changes in race and appearance caused by believing in evil gods.

"Maybe, but we haven't observed their prayers to God, except for some people who promote associations with some strange requirements."

"Besides that? How is the recruitment situation?" Ostis doesn't care about associations.

His team also developed from an association, but it definitely has nothing to do with the association. In the initial stage, the association can attract a group of like-minded people, but the conflict of ideas cannot be resolved and even becomes a stumbling block to development.

He has come to this day with his own efforts.

"They formed a caravan." The soldier did not answer Ostis's question, but changed his statement first, which seemed to divert the topic.

"Caravan, who are they trading with?" Ostis knew the speaking style of his people, so he asked.

"Local undead, and some other forces willing to trade."

"Then what?" Ostis always felt something was wrong.

"They sell the Heart of Disaster, not only the kind in our warehouse, but also the very scarce and more advanced Heart of Disaster!"

Ostis:...

What, they are richer than me?

Undead cannot form a stable force, this is the consensus of Ostis and his men.

But this new batch of undead seems different. The difference in strength alone is enough for Ostis to pay attention.

"First, investigate how many people there are."

If it is impossible to recruit these undead people by hiring them, there may be other ways, but it will take a long time to think about it.

Time passed quickly, and Ostis could see the changes around him without even his soldiers passing on the news.

Fire, storm, explosion...

It never stopped.

The whole Black Swamp Kingdom was bustling.

And his soldiers finally arrived late and brought back the news of the investigation.

"Your Highness, something has happened." The soldier said.

"What's the situation?" Ostis frowned, and he felt more and more that these undead people might be a little troublesome.

"All our undead people left and went to them."

"What?!"

Ostis didn't take the undead people seriously, but it didn't mean that the power of the undead people could be lost. Soldiers who were not afraid of death were very useful.

"What else?"

The province of Mocteria had an intersection with the undead people, and welcomed the undead people to enter.

Trouble!

Ostis looked a little ugly.

In the Black Swamp Kingdom, the Black Swamp Emperor Harv Lloyd maintained a hostile attitude towards the undead, or rather, his "loyal ministers" did so, and built an [Undead Prison] to lock up the captured undead.

On the contrary, Baron, the "Lord of the Wind" in the Mocteria Province, started to contact the undead even earlier than Ostis, and gave the undead certain management rights and autonomy.

If such a powerful undead team entered the Mocteria Province, it would not be him who unified the Black Swamp Kingdom, but Baron who would lead the troops and become the new emperor.

But Ostis's expression did not last long, and the soldiers soon sent news again.

"The undead have made a big noise in Mocteria Province, and they have started a war."

...

"The undead have defeated the defenders of Mocteria Province, and directly announced that the Kingdom of Rand has occupied that area."

...

"The undead are asking for a ransom from the Thousand Faces City, otherwise they will execute Baron, but the Thousand Faces City refuses to pay the ransom, and the undead are preparing to attack the Thousand Faces City."

...

"Wait!" Ostis was stunned, "The Kingdom of Rand? What does it have to do with the Kingdom of Rand! And why did they ask for a ransom from the Thousand Faces City after capturing Baron?"

Ostis's head itched a little.

The Thousand Faces City is the capital of the Black Swamp Kingdom and the residence of Emperor Hav Lloyd.

Now that the province of Mocteria is in rebellion, the undead's execution of Lord Baron is exactly what Hav Lloyd wants. Let alone asking him to pay the ransom to save people, if he can help kill Baron, he might be willing to pay more money to help cut a few more times.

"They claim to be the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Land, following Duke Lind Alman."

Ostis was even more confused. As far as he knew, there was no duke named Alman in the Kingdom of Land.

Maybe there would be a small noble, but every kingdom has small nobles, and they are not worth remembering at all.

Neighboring countries will remember generals, legions, and various heroes, while non-neighboring countries may not even know who the king is.

In this world where messages are basically delivered by legs and relations between countries are tense, it is impossible to allow messengers to cross their borders to other countries. The minds are blocked and cannot communicate with each other.

Only some smuggled travelers, or merchants, can use the wheels of carriages to bring countless versions of stories to other places.

Ostis asked, "Are you sure what they said is true? Who is that duke?"

"Uh..."

The soldiers under him were not sure either: "They said that Lind Alman unified the chaotic Rand Kingdom in one or two years, destroyed the big crack of the Morpheus Gate, eliminated the king in the abyss, and said that Lind Alman had a flying dragon, he opened a portal that could cross space, and cultivated tens of thousands of superiors."

"Impossible!"

Ostis could still listen to the first part, but he couldn't listen to the rest. He didn't dare to make up a story like this. Tens of thousands of superiors? Then the Rand Kingdom should change its name to the Rand Empire... That's not right. It's better for the Xilu Continent to be renamed the Rand Continent, and the Black Swamp Kingdom to be renamed the Black Swamp Province.

"Sir, more undead people are appearing one after another, and their number has reached 6,000!"

Ostis:...

He felt dizzy.

Soon, another piece of news came, and this time the news was not dizzy, and even made Ostis want to vomit blood. More than half of his soldiers ran away!

And the problem broke out in the association that Ostis had not paid attention to before. This association has a very peculiar operating mode. It recruits people to join by recruiting people, and then keeps upgrading.

If ordinary people use this logic, no one will believe it, but the one who stood up and spoke was the undead in the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Rand, who directly broke through the terrifying army of the Province of Mocteria in a short time.

You can join by recruiting people, and you can also get a position in it. It's too simple as long as you pay the fee to recruit people.

...

Lind thought he must have missed something.

He was not done with his work in the Griffin Territory. The magma world under the King of Ashes made him feel very special, not just swimming naked in the magma.

"The main plot that I don't even know?"

According to Lind's plan, let Melulan control the entire Black Swamp Kingdom from the dark, and then sit on the ruler's seat with her own identity as the queen, which would also provide him with an experimental opportunity.

The laws of the Kingdom of Rand brought thunder, what power can the laws of the Kingdom of Black Swamp bring?

But the undead who were completely free of charge directly broke through most of the Kingdom of Black Swamp.

Thousands of level 30 undead, in the Kingdom of Black Swamp where the average level was below level 11, were simply bullying the weak all the way and could not stop at all.

Under Lind's great support, this group of undead forced the plot of the Abyss Great Rift, which should have lasted for several years, to be directly killed in half a year. They were more terrifying than the disasters in the Great Rift. When they could move freely on the ground, no one could stop them.

Now there is another problem in front of us. There is only one Thousand Faces City and some corners left to conquer the Kingdom of Black Swamp. Should we take down the Kingdom of Black Swamp?

The speed of infrastructure construction has not kept up at all. The speed of map expansion is not necessarily a good thing. The NPCs under Lind are not enough.

As an enemy country, the NPCs of the Kingdom of Black Swamp are even less likely to listen to his orders.

It doesn't matter. He can send a group of NPCs who have already attended the class to open a training class there. Moreover, with the trip to the Griffin Territory, he is sure of one thing. As long as the lords of the main cities who can still maintain their rationality are taken down, the village chiefs of the novice villages under their command will have a great chance to surrender directly. Taking over the territory will also take over the management.

What is left for Linde next is the happy trouble.

The undead have robbed a lot of good things, including various potion formulas, magic materials, potion materials, equipment and armor, etc.

It's not that they are so loyal that they want Linde for all the good things they get. Picking up garbage is the talent of the undead, but throwing garbage out depends only on their weight limit.

They want points, military merits, and battle experience points.

Linde really wants these things, and things like battle experience points are really not worth much.

He can completely launch more types of titles and titles, and those who want to grind can keep grinding.

It's just that the origin of these things is a bit problematic, not so civilized. Why was the province of Mocteria conquered by the undead? Was it because of a dispute? Why did the dispute happen? Because the undead were caught stealing.

Undeads are afraid of being caught when stealing, but if they are really caught, and the NPC can't beat them and turns into a red name, then they will have to rob.

It's called treasure hunting.

"Thank you for your hard work." Linde looked at Rania and smiled.

As the biggest poster girl supported by Linde, it's time for Rania to appear. She will reward the undead who have made outstanding contributions, hold a commendation meeting in the royal city, and announce the official attack on the Black Swamp Kingdom.

This is her job as a queen. The golden toilet should be sat by capable people.

...

At present, some undead who have brushed their battle experience points to more than 10001 have begun to appear one after another.

When the battle experience points reach 10001, that is, [Knight Squire], they have the qualifications to become combat commanders, and can even lead a team to fight alone when following the knights on the battlefield.

Undeads have many ways to trick NPCs into working for them, but NPCs obtained by card bugs are not as good as official mechanisms after all, maybe they will be fixed one day.

The undeads who have the qualifications to form a knight team are also full of passion. It's time to recruit NPCs.

"If I directly form a knight team and let them help me with daily tasks, tsk tsk."

"I still want to form an all-female knight team, with black silk as the standard, black silk female knights!!"

"I am already a knight attendant, so it is reasonable to directly recruit soldiers from the Land Legion."

...

Regardless of how the undeads make a fuss, Lind is busy on the other side.

He has to get in touch with Melulan. The plan has changed. Melulan should continue to shrink and be a hidden NPC. The Chaos Camp is still not qualified to stand on the stage.

In addition, Lind has to determine the agent of the Black Swamp Kingdom. Rania is out of reach, and Lind has no intention of continuing to wander around in the Novice Village.

According to his understanding, the ‘bloodless prince’ Ostis is a good candidate. Like William, he is a protagonist, but the difference is that he is a ruler-type protagonist who is good at managing the rear.

Surrender and loyalty, or die.

When Ostis received the news, his first thought was to fight with the Kingdom of Rand.

But those undead people who were wrapped in the breath of the abyss and grinning, he still suppressed his thoughts.

Surrender is not impossible, and the other party said that he can directly lend the power of the undead to fight against the abyss.

"Such a powerful force is handed over to me..." Ostis smiled.

Whoever controls the military power is the sky!

You will regret it in the end, Linde.

The military power is in his own hands, and the military and political power of the Kingdom of Rand is out of reach here. The ending is doomed. After taking the Thousand Faces City, Ostis will directly counterattack the Kingdom of Rand and take off the heads of Linde Alman and Rania Hedwin.

Through a brief understanding, he found that there were undeads called "La Le Ge Da" and "Xuan Wu Shield" who controlled elite forces.

Incite them to rebellion!
