Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission-Chapter 93: Simple and Rough Road Construction Strategy
Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Simple and Rough Road Construction Strategy
"Lord, they’re coming for us," suddenly, a Skeleton Hero who was on lookout ran up and reported.
Fang Jie summoned Death Crows again and saw in the distant swamp, a group of Lizardmen running out, and even farther away, those Lizardman Warriors were also running non-stop.
"It seems that being discovered just now was no coincidence; they aim to eliminate me, the enemy who has uncovered their whereabouts," Fang Jie mused.
Fang Jie laughed, completely unconcerned. Although the army he had sent had not yet arrived, there were already a considerable number of Skeleton Soldiers near the swamp, amounting to more than a hundred thousand.
To Fang Jie at present, such numbers were insignificant.
Using these troops as cannon fodder to assist the high-level troops could bring out formidable combat power.
In the swamp, Fang Jie might not be their match, but on land, these Lizardmen might be overestimating themselves.
"Dorola, you take command," Fang Jie delegated the command, as this was not his forte.
Dorola immediately bowed, "As you command, my Lord." Climbing onto her skeleton warhorse, she immediately directed the forces at the front. Following the movement of the Hero Units, the common Skeleton Soldiers quickly formed into squares.
Behind them were the Skeleton Shooters, their arrows ready.
A large number of Lizardmen reached the shore, facing the Skeleton Shooters’ arrows in the first wave. Then, the Skull Soldiers pushed forward, and without even needing to deploy Black Iron-level troops, the Lizardmen soon collapsed.
Long hours of hard labor had depleted the Lizardmen’s strength. They were also reluctant to fight to the death for the character behind them. Therefore, after being obstructed, the ranks of the Lizardmen quickly disintegrated.
Their collapse subsequently halted the advance of the regular army that followed.
"Thinking I can’t enter the swamp? Dorola, start building the road according to your plan."
The strategy was simple and crude, a clear course of action. The enemy couldn’t just pick up and leave with their Territory, so he would build a road to theirs. With the speed of the Skeleton Laborers, it would probably take only a few days to reach.
Regarding transforming a territory after it upgraded to a town level, let alone whether the enemy would be able to gather the materials needed to upgrade their town in such a short time, whether they could withstand the trials of upgrading a town.
Even if they could, where would they relocate their town afterward?
To move to a new place meant starting over, and without prior preparation, relocating rashly could be more dangerous than their current predicament. Fang Jie didn’t believe his opponent had the resolve to do so.
Hence, the eventual outcome was that the enemy had to engage in battle with him.
White Bone Worms advanced, casting White Bone Control. Bones emerged from within the swamp to form structures. Then the White Bone Worms, in their own way, solidified these bones, making them a permanent and fixed shape.
This needed the power of their own, plus some bones within the swamp, which required time.
Meanwhile, the subsequent Skeleton Laborers transported a large number of stones via White Bone Wagons, starting to pour them onto these structures. After some rudimentary arrangement, a rough road was complete.
Such a road was not easy for normal creatures to traverse.
But for Skeletons, it was no issue at all. Some sharp stones, just walk right over them – such damage was nothing to a Skeleton.
The Lizardmen quickly realized something was wrong; these Undead were actually building a road.
"This is bad; that direction is my Territory," the Lizardman chieftain Jahkega panicked, as now he had no choice but to fight. It hadn’t been easy to secure a territory, capture Ganier, and become a chieftain through internal manoeuvering.
He thought he was the chosen one, destined to lead the Lizardmen to their pinnacle.
Thus, Jahkega resolutely decided to overthrow the oppressive force over him. How could one destined to reach the pinnacle remain subservient, especially in such a humiliating way?
The Lizardmen rebelled, but Jahkega didn’t expect the opponent to react so quickly.
He had developed his forces quite rapidly, toiling day and night to continuously produce troops and expand his dominion, advancing his territory to a level 5 village. Yet, it was still too slow.
The opponent reached the edge of the swamp so quickly and discovered his Territory.
However, Jahkega wasn’t overly concerned, confident that the swamp’s environment would prevent his opponent from easily invading his Territory. He confident to stave off the enemy, buying time to grow stronger.
But to his utter surprise, the enemy decided to build a road through the swamp itself.
This simple and crude tactic left him without room for many of his strategies. He had to either destroy the road or flee. Sure, he could flee, but what about his Territory?
He was lucky to obtain a territory once; he did not expect to encounter such fortune a second time.
If not for the fact that the human was so gullible, how could such a territory have possibly fallen into his hands?
"No, they must be stopped. I am the master of this swamp," Jahkega roared internally, ordering his forces to move forward. At the same time, he commanded the other Lizardmen to take up arms against those damnable Undead.
Under his orders, the Lizardmen reluctantly armed themselves, following the soldiers.
The soldiers they had created became battlefield supervisors, driving the other Lizardmen into the fray. But what Jahkega did not notice was that these actions began to slowly erode the loyalty of his Lizardman troops.
Forcing their own kind to march to their deaths was starting to affect the soldiers’ perception of their leader.
"These idiots are charging straight at us. Good, let some continue building the road; the rest, stand back and give them a chance to fight us," Fang Jie called out.
The last thing he wanted was to fight the Lizardmen in the swamp. The best approach was to draw them onto land where he could leverage their combat strength.
After all, he thought, the leader on the other side probably had the same idea.
That Lizardman, even more clueless than himself, had foolishly given up his advantage to launch an attack.
Dorola did the same, instructing the troops to fall back. Only the Skeleton Laborers continued building the road – the very reason the enemy had to attack. If not, the road would eventually be completed.
Furthermore, to attract the enemy, Fang Jie had the road widened, extending it to a span of two hundred meters.
