Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 113 Skeleton Workers
Karen returned to Wangbo Port ahead of the skeleton troops and informed Uther in advance, asking him to find a way to make the residents of Wangbo Port accept the reality that they would have a group of skeletons as neighbors.

When Uther received this task on the first day of the new year, he was very troubled.

But he thought again and felt that it was no big deal. The residents of Wangbo Port had already experienced too much.

Not long after they were established, they experienced the invasion of Lizardmen, followed by the rule of the vampires, and then the rapid expansion of the camp population. They had to confront Duke Drum, subdue the Lizardmen, and the pirates surrendered. Now there are a group of skeletons. It doesn't seem that difficult to accept?
In fact, news about skeletons and undead had already been circulating in Wangbo Port during the few days that Karen was away, and the sailors who were transporting supplies to Shiyan Island had already spread the news.

A group of zombies and skeletons appeared at the military port and construction site of Shiyan Island. The strange thing was that those zombies, skeletons and sea monsters were all working, helping the Lizardmen build the military port of Shiyan Island.

The people of Wangbo Port reacted with amazement, but they did not feel much fear. After all, even the previously ferocious Lizardmen had been subdued and were now working honestly for Lord Karen. What could a group of new undead do?

The people of Wangbo Port still have great confidence in Lord Karen's power. At this stage, people's attitude towards Karen has been gradually changing, gradually turning from fear to awe.

However, having said that, the action of 800 skeletons entering Wangbo Port for a tour was still a bit too shocking, and the people in Wangbo Port were more or less scared.

Fortunately, the soldiers from Hope Wave Port were always there, constantly shouting and explaining the identities of these skeletons. Moreover, these skeletons were indeed well-disciplined and did not make any unusual movements.

So after experiencing the initial shock and fear, the people of Wangbo Port quickly accepted this reality. With Lord Karen's power, it didn't seem surprising that he could do such a thing.

After letting the people of Wangbo Port get used to the appearance of the undead, Karen directly assigned these skeletons to their jobs.

Of the more than 800 new troops, half were assigned to Shiyan Island and the other half to Bloodstone Fort, and they were all responsible for delicate work.

Werner's skeletons and zombies were all sent to quarry stones. In terms of fine operations, his undead were no match for Karen's skeletons, so they had better just do the hard labor.

The speed of stone mining really needs to catch up. Even though the lizardmen's arms are about to fly sparks, the output of stone can no longer keep up with the speed of use at the two construction sites.

These undead spirits of Karen also made Werner realize the gap once again. He couldn't help but sigh that Karen was worthy of being the "King of Blood", and naturally he became more and more convinced of Karen in his heart.

These skeletons of Karen clearly possess intelligence and execution capabilities that surpass those of ordinary undead creatures. Under the command of Granny Oak, they are like precise machines that never get tired, and can complete those time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks without stopping.

The polishing of stones and the construction of city walls were done with great care and precision, all completed to Granny Oak's highest standards. This experience was truly enjoyable for Granny Oak.

Of course, they can only complete these repetitive mechanical tasks, but they cannot perform tasks that require creativity and flexibility. In a sense, this is also a disguised form of mechanization.

Therefore, the stonemasons do not have to worry about losing their jobs due to the appearance of skeletons, because Granny Oak's requirements for Bloodstone Castle are obviously not just a solid castle.

Granny Oak also has requirements for artistry. All kinds of exquisite carvings and paintings need to be done by stonemasons, and most of the time he even does it himself.

Granny Oak put all his energy into this castle, which he built independently, striving for perfection.

The appearance of these skeleton workers obviously helped him a lot, saved him a lot of trouble, and greatly shortened the construction period of Bloodstone Castle.

Now, the most time-consuming and labor-intensive task has become the various artistic carvings prepared by Granny Oak.

However, Karen didn't care much about the artistry. He just wanted to finish the work quickly and then use the core of the Blood Keep. He could add carvings later. Granny Oak naturally did his best to meet the client's requirements, so his main task now was to build the entire castle's exterior structure.

After the external structure is completed, you only need to build a central altar in the castle and place the Blood Castle core in it to make it work. The lack of other details will not affect it.

"how long will it take?"

Looking at the large cleared space in front of him and the large amount of processed bricks that had been prepared, Karen asked.

"Very quickly, probably three or four months, maybe even faster. I'm not sure, after all, this is the first time I've used this model."

Granny Oak's answer was a bit ambiguous. There was nothing he could do. In the current situation, it was difficult for him to give a specific date.

All the trees have been cut down and the land for the castle has been basically developed. The next step is to lay the foundation, fill the soil, and pile up a pile of height. At the same time, the bricks used to build the castle are being polished. After the foundation is completed, construction can basically begin seamlessly.

"is acceptable."

Karen nodded. Completing the project in three or four months was already beyond his expectations. It could only be said that with the addition of lizardmen and undead workers, the construction speed of Bloodstone Castle was visibly accelerating. Previously, it was calculated in years.

Of course, three or four months only refers to completing the overall framework. It will take some time to add specific details.

"These skeleton workers are so useful!"

Granny Oak couldn't help but sigh, saying that if such a good laborer was available, he should have been used earlier. One person is more useful than several people.

"It doesn't work for everything."

Karen was very calm about this, after all, only his undead was so effective.

Even the undead of Werner who have been transformed into vampires cannot do this kind of work. Most of the undead can only do hard labor and cannot replace humans in most industries.

However, others were obviously not very clear about this, so the appearance of the skeleton workers made some people start to worry.

With these skeletons, will they be replaced? Will they lose their jobs in Wangbo Port? Will their lives be destroyed?

Some were even more outrageous and began to worry that they would all be turned into skeletons.

After all, these skeletons are not like them and have consumption. These skeletons are just a group of pure cattle and horses who only know how to work!

As for these humans, not only do they not work as well as others, they also need to consume food, so their cost-effectiveness is immediately inferior.
