Chapter 346: Chapter 346: The Army Presses the Border and Luring the Enemy into the Pot

The Blue Sand Kingdom continued to increase its forces near the desert, while continuously sending a large number of scouts and even other means around the desert for reconnaissance.

Fang Jie was somewhat worried. Such large-scale reconnaissance might eventually reach his homeland.

"No, I can’t let them continue like this. Immediately deploy a large number of scouts and aerial forces to obstruct their reconnaissance, keeping their reconnaissance efforts confined to one side of the desert."

After thinking, Fang Jie said again, "Then secretly transport a large number of troops to the desert area. Make sure to detain anyone attacking us without letting them discover anything."

Worried about the large number of troops in the air being easily exposed, Fang Jie simply switched to another method.

Firstly, he allowed his Skeleton Flying Dragons to disguise as various goods and transported them to the desert border. Then, they were sent directly through the desert tunnels sprawling across the region and buried on site.

In this way, as long as the Skeleton Flying Dragons did not move actively, there was absolutely no worry about them being discovered.

After arranging the Skeleton Flying Dragons, Fang Jie then created a large number of Ghost Mages. Although only of silver grade, the role of Ghost Mages was still significant, and these were newly created by Fang Jie.

Anyway, all they needed was to employ the ability encapsulated in the "Ghost Chains". There was no need to learn new magic.

Those Mages who had already started their research, Fang Jie did not want to simply send them to the battlefield. Their primary role now was to study magic, acting as scholars rather than warriors.

Fang Jie did not yet have enough Mage Scholars at his disposal.

"Perhaps, I should create more mages. Whatever is left this time, I’ll substantially increase afterward. If necessary, I can build different academies everywhere and conduct the research myself."

Ultimately, the results would all be his. Fang Jie planned to greatly ramp up production.

Thus, Fang Jie secretly sent over ten thousand Skeleton Flying Dragons to the desert.

Meanwhile, the desert was engulfed in battles every day. Initially, the Blue Sand Kingdom only stealthily increased their troops, but later on, some conflicts arose.

A large number of Blue Sand Kingdom’s army disguised as robbers entered the desert, clashing with the local skeletons and some peripheral desert Snake-men.

According to them, they were just bandits driven to this place by the regular army.

Later, some troops from the Blue Sand Kingdom forced their way in. Their excuse was simple—to chase down those bandits. However, they were intercepted by Duogu and his troops.

"What exactly do you want? Why are you letting the military enter our territory?"

"This desert has always belonged to our Blue Sand Kingdom, part of the kingdom’s territory. Since when did it become the land of you Undead?" Morale, who was handling the negotiations, didn’t dare to approach this time.

Morale was flanked by two gold-grade guards; it seemed they were here to test the waters.

Duogu shouted, "This place has long been ours, haven’t you already acknowledged that? Now you don’t hire our Undead anymore and want to strike at us? We are not easily manipulated."

"My lord, it seems they really are outwardly strong but inwardly weak. They have no combat power left."

"Yes, if they still had strong combat power, there would be no need for this farce; they would have acted directly."

Morale nodded, "Still, be cautious. Who knows what they might have hidden, let’s make the first move to test them. Tell the superiors to stay calm and not be so hasty."

Then Morale loudly said, "We now suspect you are harboring those bandits, so either hand them over, or we’ll find them ourselves. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude."

"Although our Blue Sand Kingdom allows you to survive here, we absolutely do not permit evil acts."

Duogu asked the people beside him, "They say just handing them over will suffice, so where have those bandits gone?" Duogu also wanted to gauge their attitude.

Even though he knew the Blue Sand Kingdom would definitely attack, they also had to put on a pretense.

What if they pretended too hard and deterred them from attacking? Previously, Fang Jie and others had analyzed that directly attacking the Blue Sand Kingdom now would be difficult to win and could leave significant vulnerabilities.

But if the Blue Sand Kingdom attacked them first, with traps set up by themselves, there indeed was a chance to win.

Even a minor victory could disrupt the balance in the south and deter any rash actions.

So, Fang Jie adopted a show of weakness to make the enemy believe they were easy to defeat, thereby sending a certain force to attack in the desert.

"We can’t find them anymore; according to our records, those people went back to their own army."

I see, Duogu understood. No wonder they made that demand.

"This is our territory, and we’ll handle those bandits, no need for you to worry."

"That won’t do, we need to see those bandits today." Morale didn’t want to waste words and told his men, "These Undead are blocking our official duties, show them some color."

Although Morale brought only a few with him, they were all elite. Apart from a few menial workers, the weakest were of Black Iron grade.

For the Blue Sand Kingdom, mobilizing such a force was already quite difficult.

But the Undead they faced were no simple foes, their strength was formidable and even stronger than theirs. It was only when they faced the Skeleton Flying Dragons in the air that they truly realized their power and how terrifying they were.

"Their strength is so strong, Count, shall we continue?"

Morale calmly said, "Continue, it’s precisely because of their performance that I’m even more convinced that their power has indeed weakened a lot. We absolutely can’t give them time to rebuild their strength."

Then Morale, while watching the battlefield in front, simultaneously said to someone beside him, "Report the situation here in full detail, let the higher-ups analyze it themselves, and don’t add any of our own thoughts."

Morale indeed knew the art of governance well; not expressing one’s opinion in such significant matters was the best approach.

After all, doing one’s duty well naturally merits recognition. But if setbacks occur and problems arise in the future, he could completely excuse himself.
