Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.

Chapter 642 Preparation before the war

Some people may say, isn’t there a condition later that requires people to be selected to become undead? How could these refugees be willing to do that?

The reason why refugees are called the lowest class of people is not just for show. If Wolfe hadn't discovered them and brought them here and given them a full meal, they would have died tomorrow if not today.

We will die sooner or later anyway, so staying here is actually a gain. Besides, there are so many people, and only a few are selected every year. After averaging the probability, the probability of being selected is not high.

Even if you are unlucky and get chosen, it can only be considered bad luck and you can't blame others.

After listening to Wolfe's explanation, the lich nodded in agreement.

Although she had no good feelings towards humans, she had to admit that there were many things that only humans could do.

Now the undead have conquered this area by force, but it can only be said to be occupation. If they want to truly rule, force alone will definitely not work.

And these humans are the foundation for their future rule over this land.

As long as they are given enough benefits, when the kingdom's army attacks in the future, these people will take the initiative to take up arms and become soldiers in order to protect their homes.

After all, they became refugees because they could not survive in the kingdom. In addition, they have been protected by the undead for such a long time, the kingdom will definitely not let them go.

Moreover, the lich also came up with a good idea, and his eyes became much kinder when he looked at the refugees in front of him.

Although Wolfe didn't know what the other party was thinking, the other party obviously agreed with his plan.

Yes, the Lich not only agreed, but also summoned skeleton soldiers to build temporary shelters for these refugees.

In the following days, in addition to running around collecting various materials for the undead, Wolfe had an additional task, which was to gather the refugees who could not survive in the kingdom and escape, and bring them to the area controlled by the undead to survive.

It is the addition of these refugees that has enabled this area to gradually develop in a better direction.

But this good time did not last long, and soon a piece of news reached Wolfe's ears.

At this time, Wolf was still purchasing ironware in a human town. He learned a piece of news from a local official whom he often bribed. A few days ago, a messenger from the royal capital sent an order, asking these towns to gather the surrounding villagers, form logistics troops and militia teams, and prepare for the arrival of the regular army.

Although it was not stated what the regular army was coming for this time, Wolfe knew very well that it was to take action against the undead that had been entrenched in the town for a long time.

Well, Wolfe was not surprised at all to hear the news. He even felt that the King's Army should have arrived earlier and it was already too late now.

After Wolfe brought the news back, the Lich immediately became fully alert and began to prepare his undead subordinates for war, which included but was not limited to strengthening the city walls and gates, making more arrows, and preparing as many falling rocks and rolling logs as possible.

And the lich immediately told Bai in the bitter cold land the news through spiritual connection.

At this time, the Lich's military strength has increased to a very terrifying number compared to before.

Compared to the initial number of only a hundred skeleton soldiers, the number of skeleton soldiers under the Lich has now increased to three hundred, one hundred of which are skeleton archers capable of long-range attacks.

In addition, there are seventy ghouls armed to the teeth and five fully equipped blood abominations.

As for Bai's side, the number of corpses has accumulated to two hundred and seventy, and the number of skeletons is even greater, reaching a terrifying four hundred and seventy.

After receiving the news from the Lich, Bai did not hesitate at all and immediately led all the people to the town to provide support.

And then there are those refugees. They had never had a good impression of the kingdom in the first place. Now they finally had a few days of good life, but the kingdom’s army came to cause trouble again. They were all very angry.

The leader even found Wolfe and said that as long as they were given weapons, the young and middle-aged men among them were willing to join the war.

Wolfe rejected their request. After all, facing the kingdom's regular army, these farmers who only knew how to farm would not be able to play a big role even if they joined the war.

However, although they are not allowed to participate in the frontal battlefield, these people can still participate in logistics support.

In addition, Wolfe also gave the lich a cruel trick.

Since the royal capital has already asked local towns to form militias and logistics support teams, they are the enemy.

Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative to attack. Before the arrival of the kingdom’s army, the liches had absolute suppression over the local armed forces.

Killing the humans in these towns in advance would not only reduce the pressure after the war begins, but also provide a way to replenish a wave of troops.

When telling the lich about this plan, Wolf's tone was very calm, as if those who were about to be killed were not his own kind, but insignificant pigs.

Even the lich was shocked by Wolf's ruthlessness, but what the other party said made a lot of sense. Instead of waiting for these people to become enemies, it is better to kill them in advance.

The lich did so, and over the next few days, the lich personally went to every human town and launched indiscriminate attacks on the humans there.

The reason why we didn't launch an attack on these towns at first was that we didn't want to escalate the situation and attract the attention of the kingdom. Later, when Wolf came, he was able to buy the necessary ironware through these towns, so naturally we would not launch an attack on them.

As for the managers of these human towns, after such a long time, naturally some of them discovered the existence of the undead, but these managers did not take it seriously.

After all, only a small number of weakest skeletons were discovered. Looking at the tall and solid walls on their side, these managers believed that the wandering undead outside were nothing to worry about.

Not only do these undead pose no threat to them, on the contrary, their very existence makes the wilderness outside the town more dangerous, and the city entry fee and residence fee can be increased by a few points.

It is precisely because they intentionally suppressed this matter that the people in the royal capital are unaware of the existence of the undead.

The difference now is that under the attack of the lich, the solid city walls are like decorations.

A spell of undead magic blasted open the gate and entered the town. The guarding soldiers were killed instantly, and a large number of residents were killed with just one spell.

With the lich's thundering means, towns were captured one after another, and those captured towns were not wasted. The corpses were turned into skeleton soldiers, and the towns became fortresses to resist the kingdom's army.

While the Liches continued to attack cities and strongholds, the kingdom's army was also advancing here.
