Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 203 Afterwards
There are more than 10,000 lizardmen in "Hellrank City", and only more than 1,000 of them died in this war. Although Slaco has not yet counted the specific number, Karen already has the answer.

The number of undead awakened by Karen was over a thousand. Taking into account the "loss rate", that is, those whose limbs were not in good condition, the number of people killed in the battle on both sides should not exceed fifteen hundred.

Ultimately, it was because the lizardmen of "Hellrank City" did not organize an effective resistance, and the coalition forces of "Obsidian City" did not engage in a massacre. Otherwise, it would be impossible for this siege to end with only such a small loss of people.

Of course, first the city was broken by surprise, and then the leader was captured first. The combination of these BUFFs led to the final result, and the battle ended at a very small cost.

The lizardmen of "Hellrank City" outside the city were all very depressed, especially the green lizard priests. They never thought that one day they would be defeated by the border priests sent out such as Zandata and Slako.

Suddenly transformed from "city dwellers" into prisoners, these lizardmen naturally have complicated feelings, especially now that they don't know what outcome will be waiting for them next. This moment of waiting for judgment is the most difficult.

However, Slaco and his men naturally wanted to accept these more than 10,000 lizardmen. They were the population and the foundation of their rule.

From today onwards, Slaco and Zandata will even reside directly in "Hellrank City". After all, everything here is more mature and there is already the foundation of a city.

"What about Obsidian City?"

Lyle asked. Of course, he was not concerned about the development of "Obsidian City". He was concerned about whether the obsidian mine could still produce obsidian stably. The obsidian runes processed by Granny Oak had become an important product of "Wangbo Port".

If Slako and Zandata simply give up, will "Wangbo Port" have to send its own people to mine?

While it's not impossible, it's obviously a waste of manpower. It's a waste to leave such a useful laborer like the Lizardmen unused.
No matter what, when it comes to mining, humans are not as efficient as lizard people. They are really like cattle and horses. As long as they have enough food and drink, they can work non-stop. They are far ahead of ordinary human workers in terms of physical ability.

"Of course we won't ignore it. We will continue to build Obsidian City, and we will send more Lizardmen to build Obsidian City."

Slaco spoke immediately and relieved Lyle's worries. Slaco knew very well who gave him everything he had now, it was the "Blood King", so he would never go against the will of the "Blood King", and developing "Obsidian City" was the first priority given to him and Zandata by the "Blood King".

The "Blood King" values the obsidian in the "Obsidian Mine" very much, so he and Zandata must not leave the "Obsidian Mine" alone. Without the "Obsidian Mine", they might not be where they are today, so they must not forget their roots.

Although they had conquered "Helank City", Lord Karen had tacitly agreed to hand over "Helank City" to the two of them to rule, but they were still clear about what was more important and which one could not be given up. "Helank City" was far less important than "Obsidian City".

"These Lizardmen from Hellrank City can be sent to Obsidian City to mine and work. They won't dare to cause trouble, after all, they are guarded by the Undead Army."

Werner suggested that if the people of "Hellrank City" were allowed to stay here as a group, subsequent development and construction would be very difficult. They were numerous and might not necessarily cooperate. After all, there were only more than 3,000 lizardmen in "Obsidian City".

More than 3,000 lizardmen are managing more than 10,000 people. No matter how you look at it, they are the weaker party and are just a fraction of the others. The humans of "Wangbo Port" and the high elves of "Silver Leaf Port" cannot stay here forever. From now on, the management of "Helank City" can only rely on Slaco and others themselves.

"That's a good idea. We can't let them return to the city so easily. We should send them to Obsidian City first. Only those who perform well can come back."

Slaco's eyes lit up and he quickly accepted the suggestion.

"We can also absorb the nomadic tribes surrounding the city of Herlank and use them to fill the population gap."

Slaco became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even figured out how to fill the current population gap in "Hellrank City".

It's true, his idea is quite good. By absorbing the nomadic tribes around "Helank City", he can gain the support of these nomadic tribes. After the people of "Helank City" are gradually released, their influence can also be diluted.

The more Slaco thought about this idea, the better it seemed to him, especially with the undead troops supervising them. These lizardmen from "Hellrank City" would not be able to cause any trouble in "Obsidian City" and would have to work honestly. Besides, they did give him hope, and those who performed well could return to "Hellrank City".

"Then let's do it."

Lyle also expressed his support for this. He didn't care about the development of "Obsidian City" and "Hellrank City" as long as it didn't affect "Wangbo Port".

"I support it too."

Okanina raised her hand. She didn't care about the lizardmen, but the obsidian produced in the obsidian mine was also useful to them.

Seeing that everyone thought so, Slaco no longer hesitated and made a decision directly without waiting for Zandata to wake up.

It will take a few days for Zandata to wake up, and we can't let those lizardmen from "Hellrank City" wait outside the city for several days.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, the human troops of "Wangbo Port" and the high elf troops of "Silver Leaf Port" will naturally withdraw, so that they can escort these lizardmen to "Obsidian City" together.

After learning about how Slako had treated them, the lizardmen of "Hellrank City" did not resist, because this was actually a very acceptable result and a very gentle treatment.

After all, they were just asked to leave "Hellrank City" to mine in the obsidian mine, and those who performed well could come back. This was definitely a preferential treatment for the defeated.

Because for the lizardmen, mining is not really a hard job. This is different from humans. Lizardmen are too tough. This kind of work that seems very hard to humans is actually nothing to them.

Therefore, the journey of the army escorting the Lizardmen to "Obsidian City" was peaceful, and the defeated Lizardmen all accepted the reality.

The lizardmen who came back were not only those from "Hellrank City", but also some lizardmen who originally lived in "Obsidian City". Even a few green lizard priests came back. They will become the leadership team of "Obsidian City".

This is the type of city that really wants to make progress. "Obsidian City" may not seem as good as "Hellrank City", but as long as the management is not wrong in such a key position, it will definitely get good evaluations.

These green lizard priests took the initiative to apply to stay in "Obsidian City" in the hope of being favored through this position.

Slaco also made a direct promise that those who performed well would have priority in becoming a member of the blood clan. This naturally made the remaining green lizard priests very happy and they felt that they had made the right bet.

"He said he was very grateful for the escort from the adults."

Banju served as a translator, helping the new "Obsidian City" administrator, Priest Valerg, communicate with Lyle, Kevin, Werner, Okanina, and the others. Banju certainly wouldn't miss such a major event as the war with the Lizardmen, so she came along, and now her strengths were put to good use. "You're welcome, but he should practice his Imperial Common Language. For a position like this in Obsidian City, that's a must. We can't always bring a translator."

Lyle started to complain, saying that "Obsidian City" and "Wangbo Port" communicated frequently, and it would be a bit inconvenient if the new manager could not speak the "Imperial Common Language".

Banju naturally translated this sentence directly to Valerg. After all, it was obvious that Lyle was speaking directly to Valerg.

"Hiss~ I'm practicing hissing."

After listening to Banju's translation, Valerg spoke a little anxiously.

"He said he's been practicing hard."

Although Valerg worked very hard, he obviously needed to work harder, so this sentence still needs to be translated by Banju.

"Come on."

Lyle laughed and shook his head, then didn't say anything more. He set off directly with the troops of "Wangbo Port" without staying here for long. In the future, the "Wangbo Port people" will definitely come here often.

After all, they need to provide food for more than 13,000 lizardmen, and it will be difficult for "Obsidian City" to be self-sufficient for a while.

Of course, many "agriculturists" who have learned the planting methods of "Wangbo Port" have stayed and will continue to cultivate farmland in "Obsidian City". Many have also stayed in "Helank City" and will implement new agricultural technologies in "Helank City".

It can be predicted that "Helank City" will also undergo an agricultural revolution. The previous inefficient agricultural planting techniques will be eliminated, and "Helank City" will officially enter a new era.

Slaco was not idle either. He quickly began to implement the plan he had previously thought of and began to continuously recruit nomadic tribes outside the "Helank City". This was not difficult.

Not to mention that many of the nomadic tribes in the periphery had already been dispersed by them, just talking about the temptation of "going into the city" was also very appealing to the lizard people. Who doesn't want a stable life?
Not long after, many nomadic tribes came as agreed. In fact, the number was not too large. After all, after the previous "conscription", they were dispersed again by the "coalition forces". The number of nomadic tribes outside "Helank City" was sharply reduced.

When Zandata woke up, he had only gathered 3,000 lizardmen. Including some that had been absorbed before, the number of lizardmen in "Hellrank City" was less than 8,000. The population still could not be made up, but Slaco was not very anxious.

"There must be other nomadic tribes around. There can't be just this few of them. We just haven't found them yet."

Slako said to Zendatta, telling Zendatta, who had just regained his sanity, about recent events and some of the policies he had implemented.

"You did a good job, but you shouldn't have just let go of Obsidian City."

Zandata first affirmed Slako's work results, and then also put forward some suggestions, but she then sighed. She knew that Slako had no choice. If she was still awake, she could let Slako return to "Obsidian City".

"Well, they can't do without our support."

Slako didn't expect that Zandata would care about this matter. Although he handed over "Obsidian City" to Valerg and others for management, they actually had a very clear superior-subordinate relationship.

It can only be said that Zandata is indeed a bit power-hungry and wants to manage things personally rather than decentralize power now.

"you're right."

Zandata was silent for a moment, and accepted Slako's statement that Valerg was indeed still under their management.

"The development after Hurrank City."

Zendatta took a deep breath and asked about Slako's future plans.

To put it bluntly, the main reason why Zandata mentioned "Obsidian City" and felt that there was no need to promote Valerg and others was that the power of "Hellrank City" was now in the hands of Slaco.

Zandata woke up now and found that she was the one without a place. Of course she felt uncomfortable, because she was the one who had the final say before.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I still need your advice."

Slako laughed and said something that surprised Zandata. The meaning of his words was obviously to transfer power to her.

"it is good."

Zandata agreed without hesitation, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Slako had changed a little.

Apart from anything else, there will definitely be no conflict between the personalities of Slako and Zendatta, who are not power-hungry. At least they will not turn against each other because of this.

"These two guys"

Karen witnessed the whole scene and felt a little nervous. He never thought that these two seemed to really get together. It was obvious that Zandata had no interest in Slako before, but now the situation has obviously changed.

The reason for staying here was because Karen wanted to observe the situation in Zandata. He had never done such a thing as forcibly stopping the people of the "Blood Corruption Clan" from going crazy before.

After all, this is the family affair of the "Blood Corruption Clan", so naturally the elders of the family will take care of it. He is only responsible for managing his own "Blood Oath Knights".

Hellion was also left here and kept in the hospital for check-up to avoid any problems. Fortunately, both of them woke up successfully and did not feel any discomfort.

As it turned out, Karen's instinctive belief that this would work was indeed due to the "Blood Corruption Clan's" "Frenzy" skill reminding him that his "Frenzy" skill had reached a superb level, and that what he thought would work would definitely not go wrong.
