Chapter 142: Tide of Corpses
An undead hero was summoned into the hall. It was a skeleton, wearing a relatively complete scale armor, with a metal plate inlaid on the skull to repair the gap. It lowered its head before entering, not daring to look directly at the conqueror sitting on top.
Helot asked the question he would ask every undead hero who came in.
“I will give you three choices. Surrender to the Lord of Dorothea, surrender to me, and be loyal to Lord Hansal.”
Helot’s word here is “surrender” ” rather than “loyalty”.
As the time spent playing the game increased, Helot's understanding of the game naturally increased.
Including the management of the territory.
A lord's territory is divided into two parts: direct territory and conquered territory.
The area of the direct territory is limited and increases with the level of the territory.
There is no limit to the territory you can conquer.
In the Land of the Dead, lords have absolute dominion over direct territories and limited dominion over conquered territories.
The lord can recruit and conquer the ownerless undead in the territory, but he cannot force the heroic undead to be loyal to him.
Submission is the lord's way of ruling the conquered territory.
The direct territory of Dorothea is Scorched Earth City, and the surrounding territories are all conquered territories of Dorothea. Those lords have a surrender relationship with Dorothea.
Dorotea and the Sorrowful King also have a relationship of submission.
This territorial relationship means that Herot only conquered the Broken Woodland by conquering it, and was unable to incorporate it into the Old Land to exercise absolute rule. Dorotea also was unable to incorporate the Broken Woodland into its direct territory.
Helot has no interest in spending precious command points to recruit a group of salty heroes.
Just surrender.
The journey of a conqueror requires not only absolutely loyal Zhili, but also surrendered followers.
Helot summoned each hero who came to surrender individually and gave them three identical options.
In fact, there were two of them. The undead heroes who came to Rottenwood Fortress were definitely not here to be loyal to Hansal.
“I choose to surrender to you, the great conqueror Lord Bonebreaker.”
“A very wise choice!” Helot praised: “Surrendering to me is also to Doro. The Lord of Tia surrenders. Take your army to the land of the past and follow my journey.
Next!"
Conquering the Broken Woodland is proceeding in an orderly manner.
What surprised Helot was that more undead heroes surrendered to him than to Dorotea.
In his mind, it would be good if half of the undead heroes surrendered to him, but he did not expect that this ratio would reach an astonishing eight to two!
If one did not understand Dorotea's character, this situation would be a taboo for the rulers and would inevitably lead to conflicts that would eventually lead to a battle.
Dorotea, you were really lucky to catch me!
I am lucky enough to meet a lord like you.
Two pieces of shit?
Bah, bah, bah...
Helot continued to focus on surrender.
There are more than 500 woods of various sizes in the entire Broken Woodland. Each forest has a military camp, and of course there is a guard responsible for its management.
It took Helot four days to summon them one by one to complete the initial occupation of the Broken Woodland.
Four days later, the 80,000 troops sent to the border to grab stones arrived belatedly.
A tidal-like mixed army of zombies and skeletons came out of the woods. They lined up in a chaotic and dense formation and staggered forward, as if they were going to flood the burned-to-ruin fortress with a tide of corpses.
Corresponding to the tide of corpses is the sea of fire rushing out of the fortress. In the rumbling gallop, the burning cavalry discharged the cavalry line, and the fire surged, making the tide of corpses come up like moths fluttering into the flames. Faced with such military power, the tide of corpses stopped.
The Horrible Knight Howl rushed from the ranks of the Burning Cavalry to the front row, reined in his horse, and shouted to the corpse tide: "Are you here to surrender? Or are you here to fight? ”
A walking corpse wrapped in chains and dragging two big iron balls walked to the front row.
The zombies opened their rotten mouths where bones could be seen: "Despicable sneak attackers! They deceived the great Lord Ansar with the scarce stones in the Broken Woodland, and used dirty tactics to sneak attack on the empty rotten wood fortress. .
I, the Rotten Corpse Asimu, lead the strongest army in the Broken Woods and will never surrender to the despicable ones! Attack... and take back the Rottenwood Fortress. !”
The zombie tide is moving again. Although they move slowly, they have the determination to crush all enemies that block them.
Howl raised his saber high.
All the Burning Cavalry cracked their riding whips together.
Pop!
The sound is clear and loud, rushing to the sky.
As if receiving a signal, countless undead walked out of the forest from behind the corpse tide. They also have walking corpses as their main force, and their endless flow forms a larger zombie tide.
Howl's voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
"By the order of Lord Boneshatter, the occupier of Broken Woodland, those who do not surrender...are destroyed!"
The Burning Cavalry roared in unison: "Those who do not surrender...are destroyed!"< br>
The sea of fire immediately rolled towards the corpse tide.
Howl, who led the burning charge, rushed to the front, forming the sharp edge of the impact. The rotten corpse Yong Asimu who rushed towards him with a hammer was dancing in front of his sword.
The Burning Cavalry collided with the zombie tide, and the final battle in the Broken Woodland began.
Helot stood on the top floor of the fortress, looking at the battlefield of fighting in the distance, waiting for the end of the war against the Broken Woodland.
Breshni stayed loyally at his side.
Drunken Qianzhan approached from behind and stood with Herot.
Also looking at the battlefield ahead: "The Yamata no Orochi Guild saw the war you commanded and once again entrusted me to offer you an olive branch. I think this is a very good opportunity for you.< br>
The great guilds are corrupting the storyline for the Sorrow King, and the competition in the Land of Death is becoming increasingly fierce. Scorched Earth City received important timber after this war, and Dorothea became a potential investment target in the eyes of the Grand Guild.
You can take advantage of the competitive relationship between the big guilds to get what you want and speed up the development of your territory and power. "
Helot couldn't help turning his head to look at Drunken Qianzhan. She was dressed in a priest's attire, and her pure appearance had an air of wind and dust that was difficult to detect.
Helot said: "I thought you were trying to win me over to join the Yamata no Orochi Guild, but from what you said...it doesn't seem to be the case. "
Drunk Qianzhan sighed: "I have met many people in my life! Although I haven't been in contact with you for a long time, I can see that you are not something I can get by using tricks.
It takes sincerity to treat people like you, and I need to forget the purpose to finally achieve it. "
Helot laughed: "How do you think I should respond to the Yamata no Orochi Guild? "
"I don't think you need to respond to the Yamata-no-Orochi Guild for the time being. When you defeat Wuertado, the Yamata-Orochi Guild will definitely offer you better terms. "
Wultado? Yamata no Orochi?
Helot understood the hint of drunkenness.
"You can reply to the Yamata no Orochi Guild on my behalf. I have no intention of joining any party for the time being, but I reserve the attitude of further cooperation with all parties."
Drunken Qianzhan nodded: "As you command, Broken Bones Legion Commander!”
