This lich needs more money

"What, you want me to go to war?"

As soon as Catherine in the magic mirror heard Amber Xiu's request to her, she immediately shook her head and refused.

This lich actually asked her to fight in a naval battle. Catherine had never looked at the sea more than once in her life. Moreover, after being baptized by previous wars, Catherine knew that she had no talent in leading troops. She was pampered by her teachers when she was studying. He made Catherine think that he was a qualified general.

In fact, she is just a beginner. She will be in a hurry when she leads more than a thousand troops.

"No way, even though you are a rookie, I haven't even walked through the threshold."

Amberxiu was also helpless. If he had other options, he would not let Catherine be the coach.

But there is really no one in the Dead Poets Society who can do it. Even Gareth, a tough guy, never learned to lead an army. When he was alive, he was a reckless man who followed orders and charged, so he was tricked and his head was chopped off. Come down.

Now that his head is gone, there is no possibility of leading troops.

None of the remaining bosses, not even Ai Ge, had systematically learned how to lead troops.

Not to mention commanding the army, they probably don't even understand the terminology in the battle plan.

The only person who is considered knowledgeable is Apoptotic Rose. The education she received when she was alive included this part of the foundation. However, Apoptotic Rose cannot make all the generals of the Three Kingdoms listen to her, and she cannot command these proud soldiers.

Catherine suddenly said to Amber Xiu: "No, isn't Arthur Lane in your hands? Who is more suitable to be the commander-in-chief than this holy king? Arthur Lane was the most outstanding general in the war to overthrow the tyrant. Not only is he powerful personally, he is also very good at leading troops in battles, plus his own reputation..."

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "Don't think about it, Arthur won't help with this. If you ask him to overthrow the tyranny, he will rush to the front without frowning. But this war is a war between various races fighting for living space. Arthur is not interested in this kind of war. Even if he is forced to fight, the effect will not be very good.

"Besides, I don't want him to reveal his identity completely now. If he pretends to be someone else, it will take a long time for Arthur to make these generals obey."

The card Arthur Lane is indeed very useful, but it is also very restrictive. Amberxiu doesn't want to waste it until the critical moment.

Seeing that she couldn't find a substitute, Catherine had no choice but to agree.

Amberxiu raised the issue of the drow route, and Catherine couldn't refuse.

"I have to make up for my classes now." Catherine left these words, then closed the communication and ran to read a book.

Amberxiu wasn't worried. Catherine didn't need to have much ability. Her biggest role was to sit there during meetings. When the group of people became noisy, Catherine could calm everyone down with a smile.

This move is invincible. Amber Xiu has a deep understanding of it. Except for chaotic evil demons, no one can resist it. The undead will be moved after looking at it for a long time.

After dealing with this problem, Amberxiu discussed with Ai Ge: "Now, it is time to solve the problem of military strength. How many members are there in the Silent Night Pirate Group? How many legends are there?"

Although Amber Xiu has acted with the Silent Night Pirates, he really doesn't know the specific number or the configuration of the troops.

Ai Ge believed in Amberxiu so much that he would not hide anything. He said frankly: "I'm not sure of the specific number of people, but we have a total of twelve ghost ships, most of which are newly converted and relatively weak. Really. There are three ghost ships with powerful combat capabilities. Apart from my body, there are only Phil's Iron Spear and Andil's Parrot. These two are legends. Have you seen Phil? Andil's The body is a ghost.

"Except for the ghost ship, the total number of undead on board is less than 3,000. However, this number fluctuates. Members will die at any time, and new members will join. Mainly ghosts, zombies and skeletons..."

Ai Ge carefully told Amber Xiu the details of the pirate group, and Amber Xiu felt more and more troubled the more he listened.

Ai Ge is a demigod with one foot on the threshold of the gods. There is no need to worry about her strength. Phil Amber has seen that she is a good fighter, but legends who like to charge into battle usually die the fastest.

I have already met Andil once. He seems to be a taciturn ghost, but he is at the opposite extreme of Phil.

High-end combat power is not the problem. The real problem is that the number of minions below is too small.

What use can three thousand undead have in this sea area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers?

This is not a pirate game, there is no way to play guerrilla warfare, they need to occupy a large amount of territory and hold it firmly.

If the number of people is too small, even if the opponent flees, Ai Ge will not be able to occupy much space.

Ai Ge said helplessly: "I used to think that there were too many people. The pirate group didn't need so many members at all. I didn't expect that one day I would occupy such a huge sea area. Now the difference is dozens of times."

Amberxiu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we have enough time. Moreover, we are undead, so we are worried that there will not be enough cannon fodder."

"Are you planning to create undead troops on a large scale? I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money." Ai Ge asked.

The necromancy spell of summoning skeletons is a spell that all high-level undead know. It may seem a bit shabby, but this spell is not that easy to cast.

To summon three or five skeletons, just snap your fingers. Thirty to fifty would require some effort. Three to five hundred would often require the assistance of a magic circle.

But five thousand, fifty thousand?

This can generally only be accumulated over time, and is almost impossible to complete in a short period of time. After all, magic power is limited.

Now, they need at least 100,000 ordinary undead to be barely qualified to launch a war. If they want to truly occupy the volcanic sea area, there is no need to consider millions of undead.

This is not land, there are no so-called dangerous mountains, and there is no such thing as "this road is closed".

The ubiquitous sea water is the thoroughfare. It is impossible to draw a line of defense to block the enemy like on land. The sea has its own unique environment and requires corresponding tactics to match it, so the number of undead is far from enough.

Amber said confidently: "Of course I know the limitations of summoning the undead on a large scale, but we don't have to summon so many skeletons. Senior Ai Ge, I once published a paper, which talked about various forms. Alien skeletons, and the biggest feature of these alien skeletons is their savings.”

Amber Xiu's tone was a little more proud. This was the work of his painstaking efforts. No undead in the world knew how to save materials and magic power better than him.

Ai Ge has never seen any of Amber Xiu's "works". She has only seen his silver-white mecha. She thought he was talking about an alchemy puppet. She couldn't help but feel heartbroken for him. How much would it cost?

Ai Ge has made up his mind that if he can really become a god, he must find a way to repay him.

"Okay, everyone get busy, Senior Ai Ge, your Silent Night Pirates Group is our most critical trump card. I suggest you integrate this pirate group carefully, at least before the war begins, you can confirm how much power everyone can exert. And I’m going to be away from you for a while, so let me deal with those cannon fodder undead.”

After Amber Xiu said these words, he plunged into his personal space.

Once the flow of time was adjusted, one day on the outside and one year on the inside, Amber Xiu started to get busy.

Before mass-producing the undead, a design draft must first be made.

Fortunately, Amber Xiu had taken the time to think about this problem before going to sea, and had already had several plans at that time.

Amberxiu placed a pile of parchment on the table and began to carefully examine each of his designs.

The drawings on these drawings are all "undead" that look like various marine creatures. Various bones are pieced together to form a shape that looks like a fish or a mechanical monster.

Amberxiu has the ability to create souls, so he can modify the appearance of the undead at will and simply pinch out a suitable soul with his bare hands.

Others can't. Why do skeletons have mostly hands and feet? It's because the soul of a living person is adapted to such a body. If you want to magically change it, it's not impossible, but it requires a lot of time and cost.

Amberxiu touched his chin and said to himself: "Not only does the cost have to be low, but it also takes less time... Then we can only specialize rather than be omnipotent."

An Boxiu selected three drawings from the pile of information, and then began to immerse himself in them, holding a quill and constantly making modifications on the drawings.

When you work hard, time always flies by.

Amberxiu spent almost three months in his own private space before finalizing the drawings of the three undead arms.

"It's time to test."

Amberxiu summoned more than a dozen mage hands to continuously deliver various materials to him. In just one minute, there was a small fish carved from wood in front of him.

It looks like a crude children's toy, but the wagging tail shows that this piece has a unique "vitality".

Amberxiu threw the small fish made of wood into a pool, and then put in a live fish.

At first, the live fish and the wooden fish lived peacefully together in the pool. If you didn't look carefully, you would only think that the wooden fish was uglier, and there would be nothing strange about it.

But after Amberxiu snapped his fingers, the wooden fish turned its head and swam towards the live fish.

At first it was still moving forward slowly, but as Amber Xiu gave the order again, two turbulent airflows appeared on the wooden fish's body, pushing the wooden fish's body forward rapidly.

After a muffled sound, the wooden fish directly crashed through the body of the living fish, and also smashed large cracks on the edge of the pool.

Amberxiu quickly fixed the time, then grabbed the wooden fish and inspected it carefully.

Obviously, the wood could not withstand such a powerful impact, and most of it had been shattered, exposing the small magic array structures in the body.
