#194 - Chapter 194: The Revised Necromancer Technique
"Before assigning tasks, I have some things I want to make clear to you all," Qu Zhengping said.
"Our Red Lotus Sect Leader is compassionate and has given you the opportunity to live. But if anyone disobeys orders, I will kill them."
"Of course, as long as you obey orders and submit to management, the benefits you can obtain are also very numerous."
Qu Zhengping used the carrot and stick approach.
"Now, those Holy Envoys who still control Tier 3 zombies, stand to the left. Those who don't, stand to the right."
The 78 Holy Envoys quickly moved into action.
After a final count, there were 32 people who still controlled Tier 3 zombies.
"Your first task, for you 46, is to regain control of a Tier 3 zombie as quickly as possible," Qu Zhengping said to those on the right.
"This..."
The Holy Envoys looked troubled.
"Is there a problem?" Qu Zhengping asked sternly.
"Guardian Dharma, we are no longer able to use the Spirit Summoning Art," one Holy Envoy said.
"Why?" Qu Zhengping asked.
"After the Sect Leader repaired our bodies, the effect of the Holy Water also disappeared. Moreover, to use the Spirit Summoning Art, we need to use living people as bait. This..." the Holy Envoy explained.
"It doesn't matter, we can solve this for you," Qu Zhengping said.
"Ah?" The Holy Envoys were stunned.
"They don't want us to drink the Holy Water again, do they?" the Holy Envoys thought to themselves.
"We have other methods to control Tier 2 zombies, you can directly skip the process of luring the zombies," Qu Zhengping explained.
"So that's how it is!" The Holy Envoys understood.
This method was provided by Dongfang Chen.
His method was very simple and crude.
Use robots to directly control the Tier 2 zombies and fix them on the high platform. In this way, even if the person performing the Spirit Summoning Art has not drunk the Holy Water, they will not be attacked by the zombies. At the same time, it also directly eliminates the process of feeding living people to lure Tier 2 zombies onto the high platform.
In this way, the Holy Envoys only need to ascend the high platform and directly cast the Spirit Summoning Art.
Because a large number of ordinary zombie crystal cores are also needed when casting the Spirit Summoning Art. Dongfang Chen also directly eliminated this step. Because he has a lot of crystal cores, he can directly cover the ground with crystal cores.
So the Spirit Summoning Art was directly and crudely simplified. As long as you catch some Tier 2 zombies and forcibly place them on the high platform, the Holy Envoys can readily cast the Spirit Summoning Art. It is safe, efficient, saves time, and saves effort.
"You follow this Guardian Dharma over there, the Tier 2 zombies have already been prepared for you, just cast the Spirit Summoning Art directly," Qu Zhengping ordered.
"Yes!" Everyone bowed and saluted, then followed another Guardian Dharma out of the hall.
"The 23 of you will form groups freely and go collect zombies separately. I have only one requirement, before dark, each of you must gather at least a team of 10,000 zombies," Qu Zhengping said.
"Guardian Dharma, in order to attack Mozhou, the zombies from many surrounding cities have already been mobilized here by us, it may not be possible to gather so many zombies in such a short time," one Holy Envoy said.
"You don't have to worry about this, this Guardian Dharma will arrange for planes to send you to designated cities. You need to complete the zombie gathering there," Qu Zhengping explained.
These Holy Envoys were still a little hesitant.
"If you encounter other Red Cloak members, we will come forward to resolve it. You just need to wholeheartedly complete this task," Qu Zhengping further explained.
"We respectfully obey the Guardian Dharma's decree!" All the Holy Envoys no longer had any concerns.
"Then you follow these 15 Guardian Dharmas to set off!" Qu Zhengping also arranged for fifteen Guardian Dharmas to escort them to the designated cities. Arranging so many Guardian Dharmas to follow was to facilitate dealing with any Red Cloak Holy Envoys they might encounter.
According to Dongfang Chen's orders, the primary task of the Red Lotus Sect was to gather zombies.
It has been more than 20 days since the first batch of 20 settlements signed cooperation agreements with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce. In order not to delay the construction period, Dongfang Chen had already prepaid 1 million crystal cores for the construction of the Chamber of Commerce branches and Mercenary Guild branches in each settlement. But this amount was still not enough, and at least another 1 million crystal cores needed to be invested. That is to say, on average, each settlement still had a shortage of 50,000 crystal cores.
The Huatong Chamber of Commerce's current profitability is limited, so Dongfang Chen came up with this idea regarding the Red Cloak Sect.
The cities to which these Holy Envoys were assigned were the cities that had signed cooperation agreements with the Chamber of Commerce.
Dongfang Chen's first small goal was to order these Holy Envoys to drive the zombies to the various settlements that had already cooperated. While bringing them panic, it would also bring enough crystal cores to the micro queen bee to complete the construction of the branches, killing two birds with one stone.
July 2, 2055 AD, 22:00 in the evening.
"Mayor Zuo, it's bad! Something happened!" The secretary ran in慌里慌张 in a fluster.
At this time, Zuo Wenshan was already asleep.
Because the Suyang Settlement's Mercenary Guild branch was still under construction, the underground geothermal power generation room had not yet been officially put into use. Therefore, the Suyang Settlement had no electricity.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered!" Zuo Wenshan walked directly out of the room wearing a vest.
It was currently summer, and there were no air conditioners or fans, so even though Zuo Wenshan was only wearing a vest, he was still sweating profusely.
