Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission-Chapter 117 Both Sides Are Our Own People

"Looks like they have for now accepted the existence of our mercenary force," Fang Jie frowned.

Because he was completely clueless, that’s why he had no idea how to proceed.

"The strength we can currently deploy, even three million is no problem. With the natural barrier of the desert as defense, I believe even the Blue Sand Empire wouldn’t want to pay the heavy price to become our enemy."

"No, three million is too much, as even for the Blue Sand Empire that is not a small number."

Qin Lan immediately rejected the idea, after all, living beings and the undead are different. It didn’t matter how many of the undead there were or how many they lost. But when living beings suffered too many losses, their groups would face a variety of issues.

This scale was already enough to make the Blue Sand Empire very wary.

"I haven’t thought it through well enough, then what do you think?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Qin Lan thought for a moment, then drew a line, "One hundred thousand, a scale of one hundred thousand is already quite decent. Although the undead are somewhat fragile, this number is substantial. We can say this is our first partnership, and both sides should exercise restraint."

This suggestion wasn’t bad, as it didn’t give the other party anything concrete to seize upon.

"In addition, let’s tentatively set the highest level of strength at Black Iron, with a few Bronze Level commanders. This way, they won’t know exactly how much we are concealing, but it will also lower their upper limit of estimation."

Indeed, if even Bronze Level troops were being hidden, then the feared Silver Level ones were probably not many.

As long as there was no presence of overwhelming strength, the Blue Sand Empire likely wouldn’t take them too seriously.

"Well said, let’s go with that. What do we need, and what will we accept as compensation?"

"To make them fully believe us, I must propose some special compensations. For instance, corpses—corpses obtained from battle are ours, and they must also provide us with more corpses, with a certain standard."

Qin Lan thought for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, we will need various other things. As a mercenary force, it’s normal to want a variety of supplies since general mercenaries have their own supply channels."

Fang Jie nodded, then suddenly realized something. Wait, why does it seem like from start to finish, it’s always Qin Lan calling the shots?

Except for giving approval, he seemed to have no use, not quite the image of a Lord.

But then Fang Jie let it go, as he was not the type to envy the talented, what he valued more was his own strength. As for territorial matters, as long as the troops were in his hands there would be no issue.

Lord abilities are indeed a splendid means of advancement for those of lesser ability or the slothful.

"Let’s leave it at that and continue the negotiations. Let’s wrap things up here quickly; there’s plenty more to do," Fang Jie rubbed his brow; if it weren’t for the Blue Sand Empire’s sudden arrival, he would have left this desert region long ago.

Even if idling, it would be far more comfortable elsewhere than here.

Qin Lan nodded, "Yes, let’s resolve it quickly, my skin has suffered these past few days." Qin Lan had no idea what Fang Jie was thinking or else she probably wouldn’t have been so relaxed.

Fang Jie glanced at her, thinking that her skin looked quite good, what’s wrong with it, why couldn’t he see anything amiss.

Seemingly noticing Fang Jie’s gaze, Qin Lan’s expression changed slightly, then seeing Fang Jie turning his head to leave, she couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed. He really was an unromantic clod.

The negotiations went very quickly; Morale also wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

If it weren’t for the mission entrusted by the Kingdom, he wouldn’t wish to suffer in a desert like this.

Once the decision was made, Morale immediately hired the upper limit of troops and then determined their position.

"We are only to take the corpses of our enemies, not the soldiers from their side, but that’s normal. If they didn’t care about their own dead, I fear those soldiers would revolt."

Fang Jie didn’t find it strange, but seeing the position where the mercenaries were to fight, he laughed.

"Wouldn’t have thought of it, it turns out to be this place; it seems they do plan to attack after all, just like what the New Moon Kingdom has in mind—this is going to be interesting."

The forces that Morale hired were indeed meant to attack the New Moon Kingdom. However, Fang Jie didn’t expect this position.

Because this was the area that Jia Siwei was preparing to attack as well. Both sides had the same target, but with the hired troops, it seemed Morale’s strength might be greater.

"With people on both sides, it will be much easier to handle."

Qin Lan clearly saw it too, although Jia Siwei had always been ambitious, which Qin Lan was aware of, she had no intention of hindering him.

Putting aside the development of the Territory, they indeed needed someone like Jia Siwei. Even if not needed, Qin Lan wanted to support a few stronger contenders; otherwise, she would stand out too much.

Although Fang Jie seemed unconcerned, Qin Lan could feel that some of her subordinates had started to get restless lately. Because they wanted to climb up, so each of them started to have their own thoughts.

Qin Lan was their actual leader, but not officially.

As long as there remained an issue with the official title, many matters would become an obstacle.

Fang Jie was unaware of these intrigues. Seeing that Qin Lan had reached the same conclusion, they got down to figuring out what to do. "Let’s inform Jia Siwei of this news when we get back, let him handle it on his own."

"The troops here won’t listen to Jia Siwei, but we can give him the intelligence. If he still can’t earn significant merit, then it will just prove that his ability is limited."

Fang Jie had given Jia Siwei quite a few Bronze-Level Stone Puppets, a kind of investment that no one else would make.

Qin Lan nodded, "With Jia Siwei’s ability, he should have no trouble under normal circumstances."

This, of course, didn’t rule out the possibility of Jia Siwei lacking the ability to lead troops.

"Alright, let’s not discuss these matters now, let’s head directly to Origin Town; I need to get these new troops sorted out and then start developing along the coast. To explore the ocean, these preparations must start now."

Qin Lan nodded, as these were plans Fang Jie had made long ago, and she was just coming along for the ride.

Part of the force had already been moved back from the desert. Back at the old home, there must be sufficient strength to protect it; in a world with so many strategies at play, who knew if someone might directly attack their Territory.

No matter how much control they had over the surrounding areas, their true base of operations was still just Origin Town, Fang Jie had it clearly thought out.
