Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 142 Losses and Gains

"Undead Manipulation!"

Karen cast a spell, and blood and energy enveloped the battlefield. The corpses on the ground stood up again. Of course, not all the corpses could stand up again with flesh and blood, and not all the corpses could stand up. After all, some of the corpses died in extremely tragic ways.

The giant lizards' methods were extremely cruel. When their sledgehammers and clubs fell, it was almost impossible for the victims to have an intact corpse. The victims would be smashed into meat paste directly. In such cases, even skeletons could not be summoned because even the bones had been smashed.

Tantalus' body was also in a miserable state. It was torn into two halves by Hellion, and a lot of flesh and blood was torn off its body. There was no way, Karen could only turn it into a skeleton general.

In fact, compared to those monsters of flesh and blood that are pieced together, Karen still prefers skeletons. At least skeletons are more pleasing to the eye. Zombies and the like not only smell strong, but are also ugly, which obviously does not conform to Karen's usual aesthetic.

All I can say is that Karen is indeed not a qualified vampire of the Miss clan. Those otakus of the Miss clan don’t even care about their own image, let alone the image of these summoned creatures.

However, although it is just a low-level skeleton undead, Tantalus's foundation is there, coupled with the enhancement of Karen's "undead manipulation", this newly-baked skeleton general is not weak. Of course, it is still inferior to Hellion.

Karen could say with certainty that the reason why Hellion used such heavy hands in the battle was definitely influenced by this factor.

Hellion was worried that his position would be threatened after Tantalus joined. With Tantalus's strength and ability, once he became a vampire, he would definitely be his replacement.

Karen didn't really care about this. It was normal for his subordinates to have their own ideas. Even if they were blood descendants, they would definitely have their own selfish desires and calculations. It was perfectly normal to have such thoughts.

As long as it does not affect the overall situation, Karen will not pursue these small calculations. Hellion's act of killing Tantalus cannot be said to be wrong. His doing so is indeed beneficial to the battle.

If Tantalus had not died, the battle would definitely not have ended so quickly. It was obviously not that easy to capture Tantalus, who was determined to die, alive. It would be better to kill him directly and save trouble.

Since Hellion's actions are justifiable, we naturally cannot blame him for it. The most important thing is that Karen did not ask to keep Tantalus alive at the beginning.

No matter what, the most important thing is that Karen did not ask for it. If Karen asked for it and Hellion dared to do it, then Hellion would be close to death. Loyalty always comes first, and other things are not that important.

"Have the battle results been counted?"

After gathering all the newly awakened undead, Karen called Werner. Werner, who was haggard and looked like a seriously ill patient, took charge of the logistics management.

Neither Uther nor Lyle, father and son, came along, so the job fell to the old man Werner.

After all, the undead soldiers make up the vast majority of the troops, so it is reasonable for Werner to be responsible for the overall management of logistics. As for Hellion, he is mainly responsible for the human soldiers, while Slako and Zandata are in charge of the lizardmen.

Uther and his son Lyle both stayed in Wangbo Port. The war had to be fought and the camp had to be developed. The two things did not conflict with each other.

After all, humans only make up a small portion of Wangbo Port's army. Removing this portion wouldn't affect Wangbo Port's development, a feat unimaginable in most colonies. Wangbo Port's army, comprised of undead, humans, and lizardmen, numbered over 2,000. A normal colony wouldn't even have this many young and strong men. With over 3,000 in total, Wangbo Port's army was nearly as large as its total population, a feat unthinkable in a normal colony.

"Sir, we've counted the losses. Nine hundred and thirty-two Undead, sixty-three Lizardmen, six Giant Lizards, seventeen Green Lizards, and eight Humans. A total of one thousand and twenty-six warriors have been lost."

Werner first talked about the losses, which were heavy, almost 50% of the losses.

But a closer look revealed that 90% of them were undead creatures, with only less than a hundred real living people lost, and only a single-digit number of humans.

Looking again, wow, the eight dead humans were all players.

The goal that Hellion set at the beginning was indeed achieved, and the completion degree was very good, which is why such a result was achieved.

The undead acted as cannon fodder to consume and delay the Magrath people, while the lizardmen charged forward and directly divided the battlefield. Although there were some minor incidents, the battlefield was divided into two parts. Then the vampires, humans, and undead elites charged again, and finally the human troops came up and joined in to beat the fallen dog.

The only surprise was that while they were beating the fallen dogs, some of them still bit people, and a few of them were actually bitten to death. No one could have imagined this.

It can only be said that the players really wanted to achieve great things, and these eight people should have died at the hands of those who resisted stubbornly.

"Nine hundred and seventy-three of the enemy were killed in action, and three hundred and forty-one surrendered."

After talking about the losses, Werner talked about the results of the battle. The Magra people were still very brave. It can only be said that before Tantalus died and before their morale completely collapsed, the Magra people did not back down at all and fought a bloody battle with the people of Wangbo Port despite various disadvantages.

At night, when attacked by surprise, they still achieved an even advantageous casualty ratio. Although the skeleton cannon fodder was slightly weaker in combat, this was also worthy of respect.

"I've awakened a total of 748 undead warriors, far superior to the 932 who died in battle. Indeed, for a necromancer, fighting to support the enemy is the correct approach. High risk, high reward. You never have to worry about a Pyrrhic victory."
Karen sighed in his heart. No matter how you look at it, the harvest this time is huge. There is no loss of manpower, and they have become stronger, not to mention that a large amount of supplies have been seized.

"The only thing is that the Lizardmen suffered heavy losses."

As a vampire of the Mith clan, Werner certainly understood that this war would be a huge profit for them. He was just a little worried that something might go wrong on the Lizardmen's side.

After all, the Lizardmen suffered the greatest losses among the living, and Lord Karen unceremoniously turned them all into undead. Wouldn't that be a bit of a blow to their morale?

"Let Slaco take his people to the obsidian mines to make up for the losses. Those giant lizards and lizardmen undead warriors will complete their work. Slaco should be happy."

Karen said that as for Zandata, letting Slako take all the lizards under him over there was actually handing them over to Zandata for management, and Slako, the lizard licker, probably wouldn't fight for power.
