Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission
Chapter 231: Sowing the Seeds of Hatred

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Sowing the Seeds of Hatred

Nearly half of the forces on the battlefield were Undead, and these Undead were fighting on the front lines.

As the Undead gradually stopped, the battle could no longer continue. Nobles from both sides looked at each other, but none dared to make a move.

After all, if their own side moved, the Undead would not follow, but the opposing Undead would attack them.

"Hmph, you win this time, but next time, next winter, we’ll definitely kill you all."

"Who dies is still uncertain; you were nearly dead just a moment ago."

Nobles from both sides hurled insults at each other, and although the battle had ended, everyone’s tempers had grown even more explosive. Looking at the opposition, they couldn’t help but want to charge forward and annihilate them.

If it weren’t for everyone maintaining some calm, it probably would have resulted in someone charging forward.

Spring had arrived, and everyone was busy going back to farm, so they could only withdraw their troops.

As for the territorial boundaries, they could only be divided according to the current borders. Once the farming ended, minor skirmishes would definitely not cease, making it troublesome for those who had no natural advantages to defend.

"Are you heading back? I’ll see you off," Jia Siwei said, following the nobles’ army towards the rear.

Faintly, cries could be heard within the troops. War was not a game; it was something where people genuinely died.

Jia Siwei also sighed; in the end, no one could guarantee absolute safety. Even for Jia Siwei himself, it was the same. Quite a few Noble Young Masters on their side had died.

Even Jia Siwei had a wound on his body – had he not dodged quickly, he might have suffered a broken bone.

And Duojia, who had always been with him, was now dead. Jia Siwei had wanted to develop Duojia into a major client on this border, as he was closer and smarter than Erminuo.

They had the friendship forged through battle, which made certain things easier to manage, but now that was no longer possible.

After Duojia’s death, his father, a powerful noble on the border, was furious. With his own troops, he stormed through and slaughtered all the opposing nobles cleanly.

Duojia’s death was an accident, but what his father did was not.

Ordinarily, nobles captured on the battlefield, who had privileges, were not to be killed if caught; they were to be returned in exchange for ransom as per the rules among countries.

But now, those rules had been broken in this war, and not just in one or two places.

Everyone started ignoring these rules, and as more nobles suffered casualties, the seeds of hatred were sown.

Listening to the cries and observing the people, Jia Siwei knew this battle was far from over. The fighting would continue and definitely not stop; the next winter would surely escalate.

"No, no, that’s not right; we don’t have to wait until winter, a major battle might break out by autumn."

Autumn was harvest season; whether it was seizing others’ territory or destroying their crops, it was all a good approach. So next, it would be seen what these people were capable of.

After seeing these people off, Jia Siwei returned to his own Territory. This plain would definitely be the first to be hit.

"Let’s start building the defense works; the war will begin soon."

"Shouldn’t we be farming? If we don’t develop logistics now, we’ll fall behind later."

Jia Siwei shook his head: "I’d also like to develop logistics, but this area isn’t one we need to control perpetually. Besides, we don’t have many Subjects under us, and as for food, the Lord will provide us with it."

At this time, some people finally remembered, they weren’t the kind without backers.

"We really can’t stay idle now; in this area, there is no suitable place for defense. If we don’t start now, we won’t be able to hold it later."

"What if we can’t hold it, isn’t our mission already completed?"

Someone glanced over and said: "The mission is completed, but what about after that? If we can’t hold it, we become homeless nobles, lose our Territory, and our status within the Kingdom also declines."

"By then, whatever plans the Kingdom has or any internal news, we won’t be entitled to know – won’t we become useless?"

Some had already figured it out; if they became useless, even the things promised to them earlier might be greatly reduced.

They did not know what kind of personality Fang Jie had, but this possibility was already very high.

History had told them that it was nearly impossible for a completely useless person to achieve high status.

They were now tied together with Jia Siwei, and Jia Siwei was tied to Fang Jie’s ship.

"I understand; let’s begin then."

Seeing everyone had finally agreed, Jia Siwei began assigning tasks.

First, they delineated their Territory boundaries, then looked for suitable locations. There were no enemy soldiers around now, at most a few Scouts; so minor changes in the shape of the Territory didn’t matter.

Choosing the right location, they began to build. With many Puppets as labor, construction was much easier. Trenches were dug, walls were built.

Qin Lan provided a large quantity of Stone from behind, all of which were pre-prepared, saving them the effort of fixing them.

These Stones were much more regular than brick stones, and with the Condensing Potion provided by Fang Jie, the fortress wall was built at a rapid pace, changing every day.

The Scouts observed these activities and were quite puzzled, unclear about the situation.

However, there were too many Puppets around; they were lucky these did not attack them.
