Chapter 162 New Hiring Plan

Chapter 162: Chapter 162 New Hiring Plan

"He really is talented," Fang Jie said as he looked at the plan and inventory before him, unable to suppress his admiration.

Indeed, on the surface, it looked like just a few fake boxes used to deceive people, but in reality, it was far from simple. All of these required a vast amount of calculations, making it virtually impossible for anyone to discern anything just by appearances.

As for Erminuo and Duojia, they lacked such talents in their ranks.

Thus, their actions could easily be spotted by anyone paying a little attention, noticing the discrepancy between the distribution of their troops and the boxes they brought. However, everyone could understand this approach.

Given their positions, of course, the most important thing was having a strong backing.

Having a Viscount Lord as a father in this border region meant being among the top echelons of nobility.

As long as no significant problems arose, it was unlikely that anyone could topple them over such matters; they might even offend someone since the prices they offered weren’t exactly very high.

But if Jia Siwei were to be discovered, that would be dangerous.

After a series of distributions, the forces were finally clearly allocated. To gain advantages in the upcoming battles, they couldn’t be too stingy with their troops.

Duojia and Erminuo each purchased Iron Puppets of silver grade. However, Erminuo, lacking foresight, bought only two to serve as bodyguards, while Duojia purchased five.

As for Jia Siwei, he bought ten outright, adding to the one he already had hidden, making it eleven Iron Puppets he controlled.

Considering silver-grade Combat Power, the power they held in their hands surpassed the entire existing silver Combat Power of Kangjia City, compelling the city’s upper echelons to take them seriously.

Even when reinforcements arrived, they could not underestimate this power.

They had also prepared a significant number of Bronze-grade Stone Puppets for both sides, with Duojia and Erminuo purchasing five thousand and seven thousand respectively. Indeed, Erminuo devoted more resources directly to the Stone Puppets.

Having seen the effectiveness of Jia Siwei’s employment of Stone Puppets, Erminuo could only dream of creating such a force.

As for Jia Siwei, the number of Stone Puppets he controlled had reached eight thousand, outnumbering the other two.

This display effectively showcased Jia Siwei’s financial strength, which had now translated into military force. Unknowingly, the three had become the tri-leaders of this noble coalition, with Jia Siwei at the very top.

Without making a sound, his reputation began to rise, and Jia Siwei was planning to turn this into something even more tangible.

This time was different from before; they didn’t just purchase Stone Puppets. In fact, they had bought a large number of Black Iron Wooden Puppets, with each person investing in several tens of thousands.

To acquire these, they had virtually drained their own assets.

A large part of these, in reality, turned into the troops Jia Siwei controlled, though they were unaware. Using their funds to buy his materials, and afterward, they would even feel grateful—it was indeed pleasurable.

However, after meticulous computations, the illusions they created were not perceivable by these nobles.

Other nobles didn’t manage to purchase Iron Puppets because they were too expensive and required high-grade materials.

But they did acquire a significant number of Stone and Wooden Puppets. Many also bought a large number of inferior Puppets. Although of lesser quality, their Combat Power was formidable among the apprentices.

In battle, these could be used for miscellaneous tasks or as a vanguard.

Even such small contributions might earn someone a non-heritable Baron title.

To become a Baron as opposed to just a Lord was an entirely different concept.

The grand army of puppets unfolded outside the city, and even the insiders of Kangjia City dared not underestimate them. The City Lord personally came out to observe their movements and objectives.

At that moment, they were no longer just nobles by birthright but genuinely powerful figures.

Meanwhile, Blue Sand Kingdom was also active, not sitting idle. In fact, having burst through a valley mouth in one go, Blue Sand Kingdom fully recognized the strength of the Undead Mercenaries.

After deliberations, the Border Commander decided to employ even more.

"These Undead are incredibly cheap, just some wealth and Resources would buy their assistance in sieging and conquering. What better terms could there be?"

"But this price is still a bit high," the Finance Officer remarked.

For them, no matter how low the price, it was still high. They would prefer if the other party paid them instead, which would be perfect.

"It’s already very low. This is the limit they can offer; any lower, and they won’t agree."

Morale spread his hands, his presence here due to his own dealings with the Undead. Thus, without troubling the authorities twice, Morale was called to assist in this regard.

"No more discussion, the price is indeed low. If we were to do it ourselves, the cost would be even greater, and we’d lose many elite soldiers from the Kingdom, placing many citizens at risk. My only concern is, can we rely on them?"

Morale spread his hands again, "How would I know? But it’s better not to trust Undead Creatures too much. If they can dominate the Great Desert, they might turn on our lands."

This was a typical human mindset; one shouldn’t trust Undead Creatures.

"True, but such a strategy also serves as an excellent way to deplete their numbers. Just destroy more corpses and leave fewer for them," creating Undead required corpses, a well-known secret.

"Understood, just give them some wealth they can’t use. So, how many do we need to hire?"

"Nothing less than a million individuals. The more we use, the less our losses. Plus, it’s a chance to probe their limits. If their strength isn’t that great..."

What followed was left unsaid, but everyone understood. With such a significant threat from the Undead so close, the next step was naturally to eliminate them. But if they could easily provide such support, it meant they were not weak.

In that harsh environment of the Great Desert, having such a potent Undead Army was not something they wanted to waste forces on lightly.

At that time, it was about strengthening surveillance and defense of the desert. The wealth and strength conserved from this war were mostly to be invested here.

"All right, let’s start by receiving the border cities; we’ll handle the hiring later."
