Obarus, City Lord's Palace, Council Chamber.

All the nobles who had just become the future marquis's retainers had all arrived, and they sat down on the seats on both sides according to each other's status, occasionally laughing in a low voice, and they were still a little immersed in the warm atmosphere after making a lot of trouble yesterday.

"Mistress Murfic has arrived!" With the guards' loud announcement, Viscount Murfic, dressed in bright silver full-body armor, slowly entered the hall with extraordinary momentum.

Seeing him, everyone immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Good afternoon, my lord!" ”

Glancing over the audience, Murfic nodded slightly, first sat down at the top, and then responded to everyone: "Sit down." ”

After deliberately being silent for a moment, he said softly: "I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's rest, but there are some things that are more important, and I hope you will understand." ”

"No interruption, no interruption!" "Your kindness, my lord!" "Your Excellency doesn't have to be so polite to us, just tell us anything!"

Listening to the subordinates who rushed to reply below, Murfik couldn't help but be very satisfied, so his face became more serious, "Although we have recaptured Obarus, everyone knows the situation here, it can almost be said that it is a dead ruin, and it is not easy to restore it to its former prosperity!" ”

The strong man with three scars on his face immediately said, "Yes, this is also where we are worried these days, damn it, those monsters of the Death Legion are really ruthless, they actually killed everyone." ”

Speaking of this, his words changed sharply, "My lord, we all admire your intelligence, why don't you help us come up with some ideas?" Otherwise, it's not a matter just to watch these lands go to waste, don't you think? ”

Suddenly, everyone echoed each other, begging Viscount Murfic for advice.

After waiting for his subordinates to speak for a long time, Murfic finally nodded, "I also have an idea, although we are short of people here, but the rest of the kingdom is overcrowded, why don't we take some benefits out and attract them to come and rebuild the territory for us." ”

Glancing at the subordinates whose faces became solemn, he smiled lightly in his heart and continued: "I have roughly checked, the houses and buildings in Obarus and your territory are basically intact, but there is a shortage of manpower, it is better to do this, anyone who is willing to come to Obarus to settle can use a Golden Emperor to buy a house, if you can't take out the money for the time being, you can also owe, just calculate it according to three cents, the first two years of the city tax is exempt, the commercial tax is only one percent, as for the land rent, the first year is exempt, the next three years are only three percent?" ”

The content of his proposal related to Osbaru was completely his own matter, and what he really wanted his subordinates to agree to was the last rent.

In this world, the most important production still comes from farmers, and only by falling on their heads can they attract people, and there must be enough farmers before the city can operate, but after the partition, his fields are not much, after all, he has taken such a big city, but it can't be too ugly.

"My lord, isn't this a big benefit? In fact, as long as the first year is three floors, there should be many tenants who are willing to come, and if it is really not possible, you can also discuss with other lords and let them borrow some ......"

"Bang!" The door of the council hall was suddenly pushed open, and the voice of a soldier with a crooked helmet was full of horror, "Great ...... Oh no, my lord, death...... The Legion of Death is coming! ”

His eyes widened suddenly, and Murfic's intention to punish the other party for unruly disbelief was gone, and he asked in disbelief: "What did you just say?" ”

The soldier hurriedly stammered and repeated, "My lord, die...... The Dead Legion is in ...... Outside the city, in the ......"

Standing up, Murfic pushed away the soldiers blocking the door, and walked out quickly with a nervous face, he had to confirm it himself, because it was really unreasonable, it was really impossible!

Leaving the council hall, he climbed directly to the tower of the city lord's mansion, standing on the highest place in the city, looking into the distance, and soon, a black and oppressive figure came into view, it was a procession approaching the city gate in an orderly manner.

Definitely the army!

But it can't be the army of the Fairmont Kingdom, because it is impossible for his sentinels to not even be able to distinguish between people and undead monsters.

The most bitter luck in his heart was finally shattered, fear, anger, unwillingness, all kinds of emotions were churning in his mind, and his whole person seemed to suddenly fall into the extremely cold snow.

After a while, he suddenly shouted with all his strength after reacting, "Enemy attack!" Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

A slightly shrill voice suddenly echoed in the empty and dead city, causing all members of the Free Pioneer Army to feel palpitations.

Under the city, Xia Dong quietly rode on the house beast that had been eroded by his divine power, and behind him, more than 20,000 undead natural disasters who had been awakened by him were moving forward in unison, but there was a suffocating terror in the silent and suppressed lineup.

Looking up, the city not far away glowed yellow in the sun, and even the soldiers who were nervously running back and forth on it for battle preparation were clearly visible.

Lowering his eyelids, his mind moved, and the purple light swaying in his eyes quietly stopped, but the neat procession like a military parade on the earth did not stop, and continued to move forward like a torrent of separation.

When they were about five hundred meters away from the city gate, the movements of these skeletons suddenly changed, and they quickly divided into dozens of groups, and then began to spread horizontally along the city wall, and in a short time, the entire western wall was completely surrounded.

Seeing their performance, both Viscount Murfick and his subordinates gasped at the same time.

The bigger the city, the more difficult it is to take, but conversely, the bigger the city, the more difficult it is to defend, for example, in a big city like Osbaru, once faced with a siege battle, even if there are a few people on each battlement, the whole city will need 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers!

And the sum of them is less than 4,000 people, that is to say, even if everyone is thrown on the city wall, it can only be barely spread, but the strength of the defense will simply make people cry.

Look at the skeletons below that are not easy to mess with at first glance, not to mention the soldiers at the bottom, even Murfick himself is thinking about whether to run away in advance, although Obarus is good, it is not as precious as his own life!

The only consolation now is that the other party doesn't seem to be carrying engineering equipment, and he hasn't even seen the ladder, so maybe he can wait and see it again.

When his skeleton soldiers were ready to attack the city, Xia Dong drove his mount to slowly approach the city wall, his eyes met those principals above, he thought about it and spoke: "It's still too late for you to surrender now, I promise to let your souls be free." ”

These words suddenly made the corners of Murfic's eyes twitch, big brother, although you are in a stronger situation now, you are not so persuasive, right? Or do you think buddies are stupid?
