Chapter 443 More money is needed
Attacking a large city-state without having to worry about anything, this is probably how Lind feels at this moment.
The undead who were set free were like wild dogs on the loose, and they made small moves one after another in the short period of free time they were given in Lionheart Castle.
Without Lind giving any orders, they developed their own gameplay, expanding and invading from all directions using their own methods.
Starting with cultural invasion, they tried to improve the favorability of the beastmen in Lionheart Keep. Currently, several undead have successfully obtained positions, although they are just honorary positions that are not taken seriously.
But this does not mean that Lind can be absolutely at ease. After releasing the undead from his hands, he must bear the possibility of the undead rebelling, and this possibility is increasing with time.
It's fun, more than anything else.
Fortunately, the undead he selected will not have these problems in the short term. The "main line" has already defined the ultimate enemy of their mission as the Lionheart. Those undead who like to stir up trouble have long been excluded by Lind, and everything is still within control.
That's why Lind could just sit here and watch the undead people causing trouble, and watch them slowly infiltrate various parts of Lionheart Castle.
But if you want to be safe, the best way is to start a war immediately, let the undead fight with Lionheart Castle, and then pull them back to your camp again.
Discussions within the official website forum are still heated.
[How to get a good job in Lionheart Castle!]
[Strategy on the Magic Land, the importance of flattery]
[A guide to the Demon Land. Urgently looking for an undead who can sing and dance to join the team. My show has been selected to meet the Lionheart King!]
[Magic Land Strategy, Success School is currently short of manpower. I currently have 2 4-ring, 12 3-ring, and 88 2-ring. Those who are good at management can contact me privately.]
[Magic Land Raiders, I have become a team leader, I want to be the vice-captain]
Magic land strategy, a hundred flowers bloom.
……
The undead team that met the Lionheart King was selected because he had learned the Latin technique of the Moon-Slashing Blade when he was a child.
Beside him there were a few people who had learned to dance, sing and play musical instruments, and they formed a performance troupe by patching together their different groups. If those who were doing stage plays and dramas had not suddenly had something happen in real life, it would not have been their turn to go on stage urgently.
Games are important, but real life is more important.
The game can be restarted, but reality cannot be restarted.
Zan Yue Dao straightened his clothes and asked quietly, "When we go in later, will there be a part where we have to present a map and then put a dagger inside?"
The undead in front complained: "Brother, the Lionheart King is a 6th ring, one level stronger than before. Let alone a sneak attack, we can't kill him even if he stands still."
"I'm coming!"
The beastman soldier in front shouted, and the remaining undead lowered their heads and followed him into the hall obediently.
Someone was broadcasting this meeting with the BOSS live, and Linde, who had already prepared to peek at the screen, finally saw the Lionheart King himself.
Like a standing lion with long mane.
He was wearing a set of heavy abyss armor.
He is about 3 meters tall when sitting, which is not very tall.
King Lionheart sat on a tusk throne made from the head of a giant beast, with a long sword that only giants could use in his hand, and a skull helmet resting quietly on his right ankle.
[Lionheart Tyr, lv61]
[HP: 170000/190000]
The undead quickly exchanged glances. The length of the BOSS's health bar was indeed the longest they had ever seen, but it was not unreasonably long.
If there were tens of thousands of undead in the devil's land, maybe we could fight.
"I heard you had a good performance?" The Lionheart spoke, his voice heavy, as if a thunder was held in his lungs, and every breath made a rumbling sound.
The undead man raised his head and said, "Yes, my king, we have a very interesting show."
"If it's boring, I will kill you!" When King Lionheart spoke, he seemed to have no idea that the group of humans in front of him were undead.
The undead man's reaction was even faster: "You are the king of this land. You can kill anyone you want as long as you like!"
"Hahaha!" King Lionheart was in a good mood.
He sat up, his feet on the ground, and looked down at the undead with his lion eyes.
"let's start."
While the undead began to perform for a living, Lind was also analyzing the situation of King Lionheart.
Obviously, cooperation with the Abyss has caused a certain degree of damage to Lionheart's body, as evidenced by his permanently injured state. Moreover, Lionheart's strength is not as strong as Lind guessed.
Although health does not represent everything and wizards are all fragile, the information Lind got from the Beast Girl said that the Lionheart King once had the title of "Lionheart Sword Saint".
For melee professions, physical strength and personal strength are definitely strongly correlated.
19 HP, level 61, his basic attributes should be at the bottom of the mythical level, which means he can burst out the strength of 6 rings, so he can be called the Beast King.
Linde, who has always adhered to the creed of balanced development, has the courage to say, "average."
He may not be able to beat the opponent, but he will not necessarily be killed instantly by the opponent. In terms of the length of his health bar, he has 7, so he can definitely withstand it.
“I just don’t know what level the King of Corruption is.”
He got the assurance from the round-faced princess that as long as the Lionheart could get near the Gray Ruins of the Wilderness, the King of Corruption would definitely kill him.
A guarantee is a guarantee, and being able to do it is being able to do it. These are two completely different things. Linde did not regard the King of Corruption as a killer move, but was also prepared for the other party to fail to fulfill its contract.
The war that Lind imagined did not come. The undead man successfully won the favor of King Lionheart with his superb performance and unimaginable "electronic traitor" way of speaking.
He was willing to die to show his loyalty and obeyed the Lionheart King in everything.
"This lion doesn't seem to be very smart."
Half a day later, all the undead in the performance team were promoted to team leaders.
One day later, the undead had escaped from the front-line battlefield through techniques such as connections, flattery, and giving red envelopes, and 3000 of them successfully infiltrated Lionheart Castle.
There were even two hundred people who went directly into the main nest of the Lionheart King and played important roles.
When Scar shook his head to sober up and prepared to take the undead to the battlefield, he discovered that all those cannon fodder undead had been promoted in the blink of an eye.
The modern people's skills of flattery are simply a dimensionality reduction attack when used on a group of beastmen who only know how to kill and burn and like to imitate human nobles.
Scar had no choice but to go to the Beast Prime Minister, but was scolded by the other party. Now the undead are completely under the control of King Lionheart, and no matter how brave the Beast Prime Minister is, he dare not snatch people from King Lionheart.
In the past, Beast Chancellor Wolfgang dared to argue with the Lionheart King, all for the good of Lionheart Castle.
But today, when he heard that the Lionheart King was actually going to let the undead use human knowledge and etiquette to develop Lionheart Castle, he immediately felt something was wrong and set out to dissuade him...
……
The greatest role of the undead is their immortal nature. Instead of letting them be cannon fodder, they are made to be officials. What kind of game is this?
As a beastman who is more adept at scheming, Wolfgang has his own way of speaking.
"Your Majesty, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear..."
But his advice of advice seemed a bit outdated in the eyes of the immortals. What era is this and they still use moral blackmail?
"My king, others only see you indulging in pleasure, but they don't see how much pressure you endure for Lionheart Castle. Ordinary beastmen enjoy themselves because they are lazy and born to be useless, but you are different. You are the Beast King, the king chosen by the Overlord, so you should do whatever you want."
"I want to kill you?" King Lionheart asked casually at the time.
The undead man drew his sword and stabbed himself to death. "My lord, he is an undead man!" The Beast Prime Minister pointed at the undead man who had turned into ashes, his fingers trembling.
Another undead stepped forward and said, "Don't worry about whether we are undead or not. We are willing to die to prove our point! Unless you come too."
Wolfgang: ...
He stamped his feet and left angrily.
……
Wolfgang used his long nails to dig at the pustules on his body, rubbing his thumb and index finger, twisting the mucus, and looked sideways at Scar: "The Lionheart King doesn't care about those undead people."
Why would a 6-ring strong man be afraid of a group of undead people with only 1 ring? They are just ants that can be killed with a roar. This is the confidence of the top strong men.
On the contrary, the fun provided by the undead is more valuable.
It is precisely because the undead are weak enough that King Lionheart can enjoy their "good advice" without worry.
These little ants are so interesting and can always provide fun.
Scar lowered his head: "I understand."
I'm afraid our attitude towards the undead will have to change in the future.
What Scar didn't expect was that the change in his attitude towards the undead happened faster than he had imagined.
Scar went to his favorite tavern, "Above the Claw", where he could drink the freshest brewed turbid wine. Although the Beastmen had great strength, they were not good at delicate or cumbersome work, so food and wine were still the scarcest part, and one had to go to Stonebeast Castle to enjoy the best.
He saw a familiar figure, the sharpshooter House. The last time they fought side by side was several years ago. After Scar was promoted to the 4th ring, the contact between the two sides gradually became less and less, not intentionally, but the beasts would follow the instinctive rules of the body.
The other party also saw Scar, and he smiled: "Sir."
Although the smile looked a little bitter.
"I didn't expect to see you here. I heard that you went to the east some time ago?" Scar also responded with a smile. The twisted scar on his face told that he was very happy at the moment. "What are you busy with?"
"Fighting, fighting those ghosts, those flaming guys, and those endlessly killing puppet machines, protecting the territory from invasion is a tough job, Lord Scar."
"But you're back now," Scar said.
"Yes." The archer nodded, but there was no smile on his face.
"Why, what difficulties did you encounter?"
"I should have a job in the North Wind Valley," he said.
"Of course, with your strength, you can become the lord of the North Wind Valley!" Scar felt that this request was not excessive. Whether it was achievements, titles or anything else, House was impeccable.
Moreover, the North Wind Valley was just a fairly good beastman village. It smelled full of the stench of wild beasts. Although it was called a valley, there was no water there.
"But I was assigned to the Fogai Caves, and was asked to open up the land there and build a cave camp." Archer House's beastly face showed aggrieved. He felt that this was not the treatment a returning "hero" should receive.
"They shouldn't do this!" Scar said indignantly.
"Did that Black Lion guy arrange this?"
"No, it's human."
Humanity?
Scar was stunned, he didn't expect that humans had already occupied such an important position in such a short time. What felt even more ridiculous was that the future of the beastmen had to be arranged by humans.
"They work for Black Lion and serve as Black Lion's...censors. That's what they said. My information was rejected."
"You didn't try to make a scene?"
"I tried, and then Black Lion got angry and blasted me out."
"That bastard is a 4th ring guy, and his strength is higher than mine." Scar said it was normal that he couldn't beat the other party.
"If you haven't offended those humans, they shouldn't do this. I have some interactions with humans, maybe I can help you ask." Scar is not an enthusiastic person, but he still remembers the time when the undead were fawning over him.
I have to say, it feels good.
When Scar arrived at the "Government Hall" of Lionheart Castle, or should that be its name, he was shocked.
There are many people coming and going here, and as soon as he enters the door he will be asked what business he comes for. Scar did not say anything. He watched a beastman being taken away after saying that he needed to collect his reward, while another beastman was taken in another direction after saying that he needed to collect a job.
It's very busy, but everything seems to be in order.
The undead have brought such huge changes to Lionheart Castle, no wonder King Lionheart would use them so much.
"If I want to find someone who won't die, I'll say I'm Scar."
"Sorry, visiting the workstation is strictly prohibited."
"I said, I want to find an immortal!" Scar released his aura as a 4th-ring strong man.
The beastman who led the way was frightened and trembled, and a space was immediately cleared around Scar. Just when Scar thought he had used a simple and efficient method, three 4th-ring strongmen rushed out.
"Come with us."
"Wait! It's me. I'm Scar."
"No matter who you are, you are disturbing the order and must be punished. Come with us to see the censor."
If it was a 1-on-1 fight between the opponent and Scar, he was confident that he could kill the opponent with minor injuries. If it was a 1-on-2 fight, he was confident that he could kill both of them with serious injuries. If it was a 1-on-3 fight... Scar chose to be obedient.
He still managed to meet the undead, but the method was not right.
"Lord Scar? Why is it you?" The undead man drove away three 4th-ring warriors, and the wave of his hand made Scar stare.
Where is the dignity of the strong!
However, Scar was very pleased with the undead's attitude towards him.
"Niao Niao place!" He still remembered the other party's name, although it was a little strange.
"Sir, please take a seat. What are you here for today?" Niao Niao asked.
"It's like this. I have a friend, Archer House. He came back from the front and wanted to go to the North Wind Valley to be the lord, but for some reason he was arranged to build a camp in the cave."
"Archer House? Wait, let me check." Niao Niao turned and left, and came back after a while, sighing and saying, "Sir, I checked, and Lord House can indeed go to the North Wind Valley to be the lord, but..."
"But what?" Scar asked.
If he could solve this problem perfectly, he would definitely be very proud.
"That's why I told you because I once worked with you." Niao Niao whispered, "You have to pay extra!"
"what?"
"This money is not for me. It's for arranging things." Niao Niao pointed upward, then pointed downward, "Of course you don't have to pay, but you can't go to the North Wind Valley."
The beastmen, who have always abided by the law of the jungle, were for the first time hit by the shock of "bribery" from civilized society.
