Chapter 14 Soldiers
After Vared said this, he was about to part with the meeting, but at this moment, another brother called him: "There is one more thing, the leader, the prince of the border, is not like Sylvania. After humans die, they will hand over the bones to us and serve as taxes. So there are many cemeteries and mass graves here. These places can replenish our troops. If you are lucky, you can even double our troops! Do you think we are going to dig a grave?"
Valed's heart moved - if he did this, the border prince would have been fighting for years, and there would be desolate graves everywhere. As long as he spent a little time digging, the bones he could obtain must be more than he had obtained in the ancient tomb. It was enough for him to form an army of 100,000 people! Isn't this how the army of undead developed?
However, soon, Valed's enthusiasm dissipated most of it and he ordered in a deep voice: "We have just captured Piedmont. The creatures will not have any favors to us. If they know that we dig the graves of their relatives and steal bones, we may immediately rebel!"
"What should we do?" Several members of the fraternity looked at each other and asked Valed's voice.
"If you can't do it openly, just do it secretly!" Valed lowered his voice and ordered: "Digging out those mass graves that are unattended first. After the excavation is completed, it must be restored to its original state. The excavated bones must also be kept properly! Don't let people discover them."
After saying the order, several young vampire nobles brought military rations and ate a simple breakfast with dried bread with meat floss. After that, Vared encouraged the two remaining brotherhood members to speak a few words. They asked them to release vultures and issue orders to the brotherhood members in other cities in their own name, asking them to do what they had told before.
With the same administrative orders issued, there were military orders to dispatch troops. Vared ordered that no half of the troops were drawn around the city next to the enemy to move south and gather in Polwinster. The army was formed to resist the Greenskin and humans. The two cities next to Akendorf also dispatched 5,000 troops to aid Akendorf to resist the threat from the Principality of Ive.
Three of the eight cities do not need to dispatch soldiers - Akendorf, Polwinster, and Wells are located at the forefront of the south.
After doing all this, Vared took four other vampire officers and headed towards the south without stopping. His next goal was Polwinster, the largest and most prosperous city in the middle of the border prince's territory. In Vared's plan, it will be the administrative center for him to rule the entire border prince's territory. It is also a fortress that will command his army to resist the counterattack between the southern humans and the green skins in the near future.
Vared ran south all the way, and the army was mobilized. Strangely, he took over most of the border princes with his attack. The population, money and food were endless. However, the army not only did not decrease, but the number of defenders who dared to resist was slightly increased because of the bandits and passers-by along the way. This also made Vared understand the terribleness of the undead army.
——There is no grass everywhere where the skeleton army passes, and all the living things captured are killed and replenished. The army is increasing like a snowball... No wonder this world regards the undead army as a flood and a beast. Those foolish people in the lower class believe in the so-called sayings of good and evil, while the true wise men of the upper class really fear the terrifying power of the undead army.
"So, before an absolute, overwhelming victory, I must be more cautious. I must act harmless and unambiguous - just like this cat. Vared gallops on his horse, but his heart is still thinking and thinking quickly.
The Brotherhood will follow my method to rectify the border prince's leadership, and give both kindness and power. Most of them can suppress the internal opposition forces. There are two or 30,000 troops in the northwest direction of the Principality of Ive, and 30,000 troops can also be blocked. What is really threatening in the near future are the troops led by the border prince and the green-skinned army. The former heard that his homeland was conquered, and he would definitely be in a mess. There will be two possibilities at that time:
One is that the border prince leads the army to collapse, and the Greenskin army takes advantage of the situation to attack. If the border prince leads these tens of thousands of soldiers, it is unlikely that one of them can survive ten miles.
The other is that the border princes led the army to unite against the enemy. They left the Greenskin army and went north to fight with him. Of course, the four princes and dukes he had not captured were not listed here.
In a second thought, he passed the two possibilities, but his heart was still inclined to the second possibility - after all, the princes on the border can occupy a place in the troubled times, and most of them are powerful heroes who can excel. They incite their troops, so most of them share the same hatred of the enemy is the result. If that is the case, the situation of the war will become more complicated.
"But there is nothing to be afraid of. Whether it is conspiracy or open conspiracy, there is nothing to be afraid of." Vared chuckled and muttered to himself. However, Maya, who was sticking behind him, listened to it. After a long time, the little maid still couldn't figure out what happened. Her mind was still dizzy. She just felt that her young master seemed to have become very strange. It seemed that she had not been watching the young master since she was a child...
In a blink of an eye, on the evening of October 1st, Vared was about to arrive at Polwinster. The fraternity members who seized the city opened the city gate to greet him. He ran on his horse for nearly a day, and then jumped off the horse's back and almost couldn't stand steadily, and his legs were completely numb. He almost made a joke. Fortunately, there were two fraternity members next to him, so he reached out to support him.
Vared on the ground with both feet, and immediately used a dark resurrection technique on himself to relieve his physical fatigue. Then he reached out and hugged Maya from the nightmare mount and threw her a dark resurrection technique.
"Leader." Several officers of the fraternity members were also tired. However, they didn't care about their fatigue at this moment. They ran to him and waited for orders.
"How many days will the army be mobilized?" Vared asked in a deep voice.
"It will take five days to be transferred to Polwinster, and two days to the frontline Wells." A fraternity member next to him replied as he thought about it.
"Okay, send the vultures to the guards of Wells for a week. Send a ranger to issue notices. Just say, I am a kind ruler, and I don't move any of their wives and children in the rear. I will accept them equally if I wish to put down my weapons and return to my hometown."
"Do you want to dismantle the other party's morale?" asked a vampire officer.
"Well, apart from that, it is not a good thing that so many strong men died on the battlefield. Originally, the princes on the border were not large in number." Vared nodded and said, "In addition, I will send a message to brothers from all over the country to ask them to add another task. The women, children, elderly and weak left-behind areas will take out the tokens. If there is a letter or something, it is better to use these things to win the trust of others."
"knew."
After hearing Vared say that, a member of the fraternity turned around and went back to the lord's residence, arranged to release the vultures and convey the news.
"Also, prepare paper and pen, I want to write a letter to those border princes." Valed continued the second order, but surprised the members of the brotherhood around him. It would be fine if he gathered up and dismantled the ordinary soldiers led by the border prince. After all, in such a chaotic world, the loyalty of those soldiers would not be too high. As long as the method is right, it is possible to blow out tens of thousands of enemies in one go.
But those princes were taken away by Valed, and all the family, cities, territories, and population were gone. If you know the news, you might have the heart to eat Valed. What's the use of Valed's writing to them?!
"Of course it's useful." Vared looked at the brothers around him with surprise, grinned, and continued, "If they are smart enough and have a vicious enough vision, it's useful."
