Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.
Chapter 641 Refugees
Wolfe mainly didn't want to block all his retreat routes, but facing the threats and inducements from the lich, he finally chose to compromise.
From the moment Wolfe took the small bottle of soul powder from the lich, he was completely bound to the undead.
In the following days, Wolfe gave full play to his subjective initiative, wandering around various towns, spending a lot of money to buy iron ore for the undead, and even directly purchasing weapons and equipment.
As for where the money to buy these things comes from, there is no need to worry at all. Even if there is not enough money in the City Lord's Mansion, the Lich does not sleep every day during the time he stays in the town. From time to time, he will take his men out for a sweep.
Not only did they replenish the existing troops, but they also brought back all the ownerless items.
Although the value gained from one or two villages is limited, you can't resist the large number of villages slaughtered by the lich, not to mention those unlucky caravans.
The value brought by a caravan is far greater than the sum of seven or eight villages.
"Why did you bring these humans back?"
Originally, as a purchaser, Wolfe brought huge benefits to the undead and played a huge role. But not long ago, when Wolfe came back again, he brought back nearly a hundred humans.
At first, the lich thought that this was some kind of technical job, but after checking, he found that it was not the case at all. Among these one hundred people, there were old and young, men and women, and judging from their clothes and faces, they were just ordinary people.
No, these people are not even considered ordinary people. Ordinary people in this world must at least have a piece of land to cultivate, but these people obviously don't have that. They are the lowest level of refugees.
Facing the lich's questioning, Wolf not only did not answer, but instead asked him to take good care of the undead under his command and not cause any harm to these people. In addition, he also asked him to get some food so that they could have a good meal.
"You TM........"
The lich wanted to curse, but when he saw Wolf's determined gaze, he swallowed the words back and had no choice but to tell his men not to harm these humans.
Although these undead souls hated the living and instinctively wanted to kill these 100 people when they saw them, they remained quiet under the lich's forced command.
As for food, grain is definitely out of the question. After all, the undead don't eat and have no demand for food. So they took out the nutrients needed to make blood abominations and gave them to these people.
After all, the other party is a human, and was brought by Wolfe. Although I don't know what this guy is up to, he has such a good brain that he will definitely not do anything meaningless.
These refugees were fooled by Wolfe for a while, saying that as long as they came here, they would have land to cultivate, farming tools, houses to live in, and enough food to eat. So they followed him with trepidation.
Life has forced me into a desperate situation, otherwise who would take such a big risk to come to the land controlled by the undead.
But since they are here now, they might as well make the best of it. They are all dead anyway, so if these undead really want to kill them, then let them kill them.
But something they didn't expect happened. Just as they were gathered together trembling for their future fate, Wolfe came up surrounded by a dozen skeleton soldiers.
When they saw Wolfe, the fear on these people's faces did not ease at all, but when they saw what was in the skeleton soldier's hand, the fear in their eyes turned into shock.
What these skeleton soldiers were holding in their hands were nothing but pots of stewed meat. The pieces of rotten venison and wolf meat gave off an enticing aroma.
For ordinary people, wolf meat does not taste very good compared to pork and beef, and it is even very unpalatable. But for these refugees who go hungry for nine meals in three days.
Forget about eating meat. They have been eating whatever they can get these days, the only thing left is dirt and tree bark. Now that they see meat, they are so excited.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I promised you that as long as you listen to me, having enough food is just the basic requirement."
As Wolfe said this, he waved his hand, and the skeleton soldiers placed the stew in front of them.
The refugees, dazzled by the aroma of meat, had no time to care about anything else. Even if they were going to face death, they would rather die with a full stomach.
While these refugees were eating heartily, the lich came to Wolfe again and asked, "Now can you tell me what you want to do by bringing a bunch of refugees here?"
This time, Wolfe did not beat around the bush and told the lich exactly what he was thinking.
Not long after Wolfe joined the Undead, he saw the strengths and weaknesses of the Undead.
Compared to humans, the undead are not afraid of death and do not know fatigue. When facing the enemy, there is no need to consider morale issues. In fact, as long as the operation is proper, it is entirely possible that the number of troops will increase as the battle goes on.
But the disadvantages of the undead are equally obvious, that is, the intelligence of low-level undead is too low, and they can only execute simple commands, and they cannot understand anything more complicated.
This is also why most of the skeleton soldiers' tactics rely on numbers to win. It's not that they don't want to use battle formation tactics, but they can't. Low-level skeleton soldiers don't have this ability.
It is precisely because of the intellectual problem that they have to abduct human blacksmiths to do things like forging weapons.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that most of the undead are transformed from dead people. If there are no dead people, it is very difficult to increase the number quickly.
That's why Wolfe brought these one hundred refugees here.
Wolfe meant to let these one hundred refugees settle here, with the undead providing them with protection, arable land, and food before the first wave of grain matured.
In contrast, they need to hand over food to the undead on a regular basis every year, randomly select a few lucky people to join the undead, and perform labor to build and maintain city walls, etc.
For these refugees who live at every turn, this is definitely a blessing.
The food brought by the dead saved many of these refugees from starving to death.
And the original village ruins, after being burned and nourished by blood and flesh, are extremely fertile and are definitely good places for farming.
It can be said that as long as they work hard in the fields, the annual harvest will definitely not be low. Not only can they fill their stomachs, but they can also have some surplus food.
Although the undead do not eat food, in this era, food can often become hard currency. When necessary, the undead can use the food to hire mercenaries of other races to help themselves, such as ogres, jungle trolls, and even murlocs and centaurs.
