Chapter 664: Veto

The so-called undead base can be simply understood as a city of the undead. This includes, but is not limited to, cemeteries, corpse dens, dark factories, camps of the dead, magic wells, ghost towers, hearts of death, and other buildings.

The role of architecture can be simply compared to barracks, private houses, farmland, barracks, academies, city lords' mansions, etc.

Of course, this analogy is very crude and inaccurate. A real city of the dead is very complex, and it is impossible to have only these buildings.

With the Undead Base, you can stock up on the dark elements that the undead need most, and you can also use the dark elements to transform or enhance the strength of the existing undead legions.

With the Undead Base, the Undead Army can remain normal in the Undead City during a truce without consuming additional Dark Elementals.

With buildings such as the Cavern, you can use other things to summon a permanent army of the undead, even if you don't use corpses.

With the undead base, the undead transformation speed will be greatly increased, and the combat power of the undead army in the undead city will also be greatly increased.

Necromancers with undead bases can really have the capital to make the world hear and change color, and the Necromancer Canyon in Payne was a simple undead base. If he is allowed to develop, let alone a small Carter Kingdom, even the Bright Empire will have a headache to deal with!

In addition, the undead base also has a feature, the undead system is highly centralized, and almost all the power in the undead city is concentrated in the necromancer himself.

This is also the reason why the various generals reacted so violently to Payne's request to establish an undead base.

This is almost a blatant attempt to engage in secession!

While it may be that Payne's original intention was to find a place for the undead army to repair in normal times, so that it would not slowly turn into dry bones in its slumber, making this request itself was a suspicion of disobedience.

Looking at Payne, who was trembling on his knees, Shang Ji was also a little helpless in his heart.

He didn't think that Payne had the heart of rebellion, after all, Payne's loyalty has been growing slowly recently, and it is now approaching the ninety level.

However, Shang Ji really couldn't grant Payne's request, even if he had just made a great achievement!

The peculiarity of the necromancer system determines that the undead base must be controlled by Payne. Although Shang Ji was not afraid of his rebellion, he had to take into account the opinions of other generals.

Although Payne's credit this time is not small, no matter how great his credit is, it is not as good as Liu Yi, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Liu Meng.

Allow Payne to build his own undead base, what about the other generals? Liu Yi and Zhao Yun are far superior to Payne in terms of merit and qualifications, Payne has his own base, and other people are also allowed to build it?

Once allowed, it will really dominate the world in the future, and it is estimated that there will be a group of large and small powerful lords under his command. Shang Ji is at most equivalent to Zhou Tianzi's existence.

The sub-feudal system does have its unique advantages in many cases, but it is definitely not suitable for the early stage of the growth of a force!

Assuming that it is not allowed, only Payne is allowed to build the undead base by himself, and everyone else is vetoed. Since ancient times, it has been human nature to suffer from inequality without suffering from few, and in the long run, it will not be beneficial to either the merchant or Payne himself.

"The stakes are too high to be hastily decided. Wait until after the war! ”

After a moment of silence, Shang Ji spoke slowly.

"The subordinates are confused for a while, and they ask the lord to surrender." Payne was immediately relieved when he heard this, and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"Okay, I don't blame you, it's a great hero, what kind of system does it become to kneel like this? Get up and speak! ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Xie is magnanimous!" Payne hurriedly got up and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead by the way. He had already made up his mind in his heart that he would never mention the word undead base again in the future, not only did he not mention it, but others were also anxious with him when they mentioned it!

"Okay, meritorious service will be rewarded and guilt will be punished, the matter of the undead base will not be mentioned for the time being, you assisted the army to capture more than 100,000 high-ranking prisoners of war, and the credit is not small. Ben will reward you with 100,000 gold, one stone of spiritual rice, and one mansion. Grant you the position of Captain of Death, authorizing you to create the Legion of Death. I hope you can continue to work hard in the future and live up to your expectations! ”

"Thank you, the last general will swear allegiance to the lord!"

Payne was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly.

Although the name Captain of Death sounds unpinched, and it is far less domineering than the Captain of Fenwu, the Imperial Commander, and the Captain of Xiaocai, it is already a real name Captain!

There are a large number of lieutenants in the Pingzhou Army, and there are more than 100 lieutenants of all sizes. But there are very few famous captains, and there are only about twenty of them. And these twenty are either hardcore cronies who began to follow Shang Ji at the end of the Wei period, or peerless generals like Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.

Any famous lieutenant can be called a confidant and a mainstay of Pingzhou. The more time he spent in Dahan, the more Penn understood this terrifying powerful country, and he was already overjoyed to be able to truly integrate into Pingzhou's senior management.

"Alright, that's all for now. The war has just ended, and there are still a lot of things to do, so don't gather here. All the commanders of the troops will go to the prisoner camp and do their best to recruit prisoners of war. Coercion and temptation, all means can be used, digest the captives as soon as possible! ”

With a wave of his hand, Shang Ji directly suppressed this matter, and then changed the conversation and led the topic to the captive again.

More than 100,000 captives were surrendered in this battle, and if all of them were surrendered by the Golden Condor, it would take more than a month to digest them. The speed of collecting more than 100,000 high-level prisoners of war in a month and a half without cost was already very amazing, but it was obviously impossible for the current Shang Ji to waste more than a month to deal with the prisoners.

Although the Xianbei people have a tough and ruthless character, this does not mean that each of them is loyal and unyielding. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many captives and the scum of the Eastern Xianbei.

The efficiency of conventional surrenders is naturally far inferior to that of the Golden Condor, but it is better than nothing, and there are seven top generals who shoot at the same time, and the combined efficiency should still be okay.

As long as he can surrender, Shang Ji is not afraid of common problems such as low morale and lack of loyalty of new soldiers, there is no problem that cannot be solved by throwing money, if there is, then throw more money!

Rewarding the newly surrendered soldiers with ten gold per person can basically ensure the general stability of the rebel army. Twenty gold was awarded to each of them, and it was no problem for them to go into battle against some low-intensity wars.

If each person throws fifty gold, then they are fearless and loyal warriors, if each person is one hundred gold......

Righteous Servant Army: "Swear allegiance to the great Shang Jitian Khan!" The rebel thief can be broken into thousands of pieces!! Kill every dog Xianbei who dares to resist the king!! ”
