Chapter 224: Chapter 224: The Last Battle Before the Start of Spring Chapter 224: Chapter 224: The Last Battle Before the Start of Spring Fang Jie sat at his own table, with Anfei respectfully standing by his side, along with two other foxn serving as cooks.
After arriving here yesterday, these foxn had begun learning the art of cooking.
Fang Jie had collected quite a few books on the subject, initially wanting to learn himself, but he lacked the talent for it.
Later, he thought about having his ghost servants learn, but they were even less talented.
The food produced by the ghost servants was good enough if it didn’t kill soone, let alone taste good.
Now that he had the foxn, there was finally a use for them.
It had to be said, these foxes had quite impressive talents, especially when it ca to hands-on abilities.
In less than a day, so with exceptional talents were already able to stir-fry dishes.
“Not bad, really not bad.
To achieve this level without any guidance is already comndable.
Keep up the good work,” Fang Jie tasted the food, and although it wasn’t great, it was almost on par with homade dishes.
Hearing this, the few foxn slowly relaxed, and then their loyalty increased.
This lord seed not so difficult to get along with, after all.
With Fang Jie, food was not a concern, and it was possible to continuously practice through wastage.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to learn and practice to this extent in such a short ti.
“I want to try too,” Lu Lu said from the side.
“If you don’t mind diarrhea, you can give it a try,” the flower demon could only consu nectar and dew.
Human food was not for her.
It wasn’t impossible to eat, but she would be risking diarrhea afterwards.
But seeing Fang Jie enjoy his al so much, Lu Lu couldn’t help but feel tempted.
With the arrival of the foxn servants, Fang Jie was slowly starting to feel like a lord.
A bit of liveliness in the territory was certainly nice.
It was just a pity that their loyalty was so low; otherwise, he wouldn’t have to be so guarded all the ti.
His own kin didn’t even display their loyalty, so Fang Jie was even more wary of letting them get close.
After eating, it was ti for studying and researching—this was Fang Jie’s life for the ti being.
As for the foxn, Fang Jie had also provided them with so potions to use for the basics of priesthood cultivation.
Because he provided the potions, the loyalty of the foxn was increasing rapidly.
The youngest, Lu Qi’er, now had the highest loyalty, surpassing 50.
If this continued, she might soon be trustworthy.
With a loyalty above 80, there was basically no concern of sudden betrayal.
“My lord, the New Moon Kingdom and the Blue Sand Kingdom have suddenly begun large-scale military maneuvers.
It looks like they are about to go to war.”
“We’ve waited so long for this mont to finally arrive.
But why so suddenly?”
His subordinate thought for a mont and said, “We don’t know the specific reason, but so living creatures, not undead, say it’s because spring is approaching.”
The undead couldn’t understand, but Fang Jie got the point imdiately.
“I see, with spring coming, they need to return to farming, they can’t stay here to fight, it’s the basis of sustaining life.
So, this is going to be the last battle, and no matter the outco, they will withdraw their troops.”
The undead subordinates didn’t understand, as they don’t get hungry.
But they would still record what Fang Jie said as samples for future analysis.
Just as Fang Jie thought, both kingdoms wanted to finish the fight before spring.
It had been a particularly cold winter, but it hadn’t affected them too much.
Especially the New Moon Kingdom, which, thanks to a large supply of food from Jia Siwei, wasn’t short of supplies.
But who could have expected the battle to turn out this way, now almost impossible to stop.
Accumulated grievances made them unwilling to cease fighting.
Accumulated military forces and logistics also couldn’t just dissipate without consequence.
In any case, they had to give others an explanation, this war had to be fought.
Coincidentally, neither side seed to know who made the first move.
As one mobilized, the other followed.
In less than a day, both sides’ forces were assembled and they launched their attacks simultaneously.
The scale of the battle was huge, but there were few tactics that could be employed due to the circumstances.
Massive forces could only be t with massive opposition.
This was the ti for a true test of foundational strength; surprising the enemy with an unconventional victory was impossible under these conditions.
Even Jia Siwei could only lead his Puppet Army and demonstrate a head-on confrontation.
Jia Siwei felt bitter, because his opponents were a human army, not undead.
If it was undead, he wouldn’t be worried since they were kin and would play along.
But this wasn’t sothing he could change.
The opposing human army charged at him directly.
“Luckily I traded for more puppets before; otherwise, we wouldn’t stand a chance.”
To quote Jia Siwei, he had converted all his earnings and captures into a Puppet Army.
Now, he had several tens of thousands of puppets at his command, all at least of Black Iron level.
Such a force was already formidable on the battlefield, but the opposition turned out to be stronger.
“That’s him, that’s Jia Siwei, the one who rose to power with Fang Jie’s backing.
Hmph, the higher-ups didn’t believe that human had anything to do with the undead, but with a little manipulation from , the Kingdom Army is now confronting him.”
“The boss is wise, but what’s the advantage of doing this?”
Liu Li, in the front, said with disdain, “What’s the advantage?
Of course, it’s bringing down that guy and eliminating an enemy’s figurehead.
Tell , wouldn’t we get a higher noble rank?”
“And by taking him down, we also prove we’re more capable than that rchant, making the one to work with Fang Jie.”
In his view, his own status wasn’t low, and he definitely needed to collaborate with Fang Jie.
Becoming a subordinate to him, what a joke.
Why would he submit when he had just started to rise?
Even in the Blue Sand Kingdom, he would be a great noble, not sothing a re savage could compare to.
Although the amount of undead creatures Fang Jie provided was shocking, they were just low-level creatures.
In the Blue Sand Kingdom, they certainly wouldn’t exaggerate the strength of the enemy, nor the might of the hired undead.
Until they saw them with their own eyes, these people had no idea what level of power these undead possessed.
They even thought that those undead were all Apprentice Level, with only a few reaching the Black Iron Level.
