Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission
Chapter 536: Turbulent Calm

Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Turbulent Calm

Fang Jie, though dangerous thoughts surged in his heart, was still calmly making various deployments.

After all, the upcoming battle belonged to the Undead, which he had to handle himself and could not delegate to others.

The key point was, these Undead would not take orders from anyone else. Fortunately, dealing with Undead affairs was relatively simple; usually, they only needed one command to act, so things were far less complicated than with other races.

Some Undead Hero Units under Fang Jie’s command had helped him handle some matters, making things much easier.

However, such large-scale mobilization still required a significant amount of time.

"Fortunately, now that we’re mobilizing the Undead units, we can use facilities like sea fortresses and Ghost Ships."

Fang Jie had no shortage of undead-type ships—besides the sea fortress, which could serve as a base, there were also Ghost Ships and Blood-colored Battleships, both of which possessed gold-level combat power.

Though their direct combat power might be slightly lacking, their various other abilities were indeed strong.

Previously, Fang Jie had been focusing on developing the Human Faction, but he hadn’t stopped building weapons for the Undead Camp. He had just been keeping them hidden; now, a large stockpile had accumulated.

Plus, with continued production before the war, there was definitely enough to use.

However, at the moment, the Sea Alliance had also quieted down; not because they wished to, but because they had no choice.

Fang Jie currently controlled several of the Big Islands within the Sea Alliance, including two top-tier islands. Other islands, though vocally aggressive, dared not make any hasty moves.

Those new powers that played by their own rules were just too strong and continued to eye the other islands menacingly.

Some medium and small islands had already begun aligning themselves in secret, preparing to survive by pledging allegiance.

Even the former Sea Alliance, despite its rules, had its own hierarchy. Originally, most of the smaller islands were subservient to the bigger islands, becoming their vassals.

Otherwise, just a small action from the large islands could bring about a leadership change for them.

Regarding these islands, Fang Jie directly adopted an open-door policy—first, stabilize them. For those suitable for control, he secretly took actions to gradually turn them into territories he could govern.

After all, although these islands were nominally small, they were actually not small at all.

Each island had its function, whether due to special geographical locations or particular natural resources. Even if there were none, Fang Jie could transform them into islands suitable for large populations.

This would later provide him with a substantial population, which was very useful.

The result was that the power of these islands visibly swelled, quite exaggeratedly.

Though the Sea Alliance seemed very calm on the surface, internally it was nearly exploding.

Meetings were constantly being held every day; all were high-level meetings with the constant participation of the big islands. Now even these big islands had subtly begun to unite, though they hadn’t brought it up openly yet.

Everyone gradually turned their attention to this aggressively advancing Human Faction.

However, unbeknownst to them, the Undead Camp had already been eyeing them hungrily, secretly making preparations.

"My Lord, the Beastmen are urging us again," one of his subordinates reported to Fang Jie. Recently, the Beastmen had become increasingly anxious, not willing to see a faction hostile to them grow stronger.

At the least, they wanted factions hostile to them to also be hostile to their own enemies.

The Undead were perfect for this, as, like the Demons, they were nearly the mortal enemies of all living creatures.

"I understand, reply to them just as we did before," Fang Jie had no intention of letting the Beastmen know his plans, since he didn’t need their help at all.

This operation was too significant. What if the Beastmen had a change of heart and decided to cause trouble instead of helping?

Fang Jie was certain that what the Beastmen most wanted was to see the Undead engage the Humans and Elves, not to completely overpower them and take over the Sea Alliance. That definitely wasn’t a desired outcome for them, though not the worst.

"I understand. There’s one more thing."

"What is it?" Fang Jie, lately, had almost devoted all his energy to this cause.

Though he still managed to carve out enough time each day for Cultivation, which was indispensable.

Every other matter, even the nightly entertainment, had been nearly cut off by Fang Jie. It’s imaginable how busy he had been during this period; he also began to understand why Qin Lan always looked so gloomy when talking about work.

The subordinate, unaware of these details, calmly explained, "Recently, the movements of those big islands have changed."

"Our scouts report that these big islands are now mobilizing troops and extensively purchasing maritime vessels, all their movements are directed towards our Human Faction."

"So? Isn’t that a good thing?" Fang Jie asked, puzzled.

"But they are contacting us, wanting to buy our ships. Should we sell them?"

Fang Jie pondered for a moment: "They want to buy ships, you say? Well, let’s sell them. However, producing ships takes time. For now, placate them; we would still need half a month before launching an attack."

This was the quickest preparation Fang Jie anticipated. With a larger army, even the Undead had numerous affairs to manage.

Of course, he could have acted immediately regardless of these details. After all, being Undead, they needed not care about these externals. However, doing so would increase his own losses.

Not only that, after occupying those islands, the benefits obtained would also be reduced.

Careless handling might even allow the enemy to destroy many crucial things in the end.

Fang Jie’s main task now was to, through the Material Trading House, secretly gather all possible information about the big islands and prepare to take over management at any moment. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need to waste so much time.

"I understand; I will see to it immediately," the Hero subordinate bowed and then quietly left.

With the declaration from the Undead side, the Sea Alliance grew even calmer.

Unaware of the Undead’s plans, all major islands were now subtly leaning towards Quisha Island. After all, despite its unscrupulous actions, Quisha Island was known to generally play by the rules.

Meanwhile, the Elves had irregularly seized two islands.

The issues surrounding Molten Island had never ceased being a topic of discussions. Naturally, the greatest issue was the Space Channel. Even if they planned to make the Dark Night Elves retreat, they needed to figure out how to handle that channel first.
