Undead Scourge who love farming

Two days passed quickly, and it was the morning of the third day.

The town-wide meeting will begin in two hours.

At that moment, Lauren was having breakfast with his two little ones at home.

As he ate, he glanced at Alice, who was sitting to his side, engrossed in her meal.

After the previous incident, she felt as if she had experienced social death, and she would lower her head and avoid eye contact whenever she saw Lauren.

Lauren was naturally very pleased with this phenomenon.

After all, this shows that Alice has a normal sense of shame, rather than being a pervert who likes to exhibit.

About ten minutes later, Laurent, having finished breakfast, began making final preparations for his speech.

To be honest, he was quite nervous about this meeting.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary person from childhood to adulthood. He was neither socially anxious nor socially adept. He was a little afraid of performing in front of a large number of people, and he even turned down the opportunity to speak under the national flag in elementary school.

Now, he was about to give a speech in front of two thousand people, which made him a little afraid that something might go wrong.

But now that the die is cast, there's no turning back.

If he cannot gain a foothold in the town during this campaign, it will definitely affect his future rule.

Although his initial purpose in building this town was simply to collect corpses, without any intention of developing it, he has now realized that only by making the town more prosperous can he have more people to convert into undead.

"Master, if you're really nervous, you can let me help you."

Lina, the attentive maid who was tidying up the documents, quickly noticed Loren's unusual behavior and spoke up.

"I'm fine, but thank you anyway, Lina."

With the comfort of his maid, Lawrence quickly adjusted his mindset. After all, he had been the mayor for so long, and even though he was in the shadows, he had still honed some of his abilities.

at the same time.

Breakfast was being prepared at the One-Eyed Dragon's home.

The father and son were sitting at the dining table, while several other burly men with menacing faces sat around the table.

They were the masterminds behind this rebellion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe my son, Xiaolong, has already explained the specific arrangements to you. The conference will begin in two hours. Does anyone have any further questions?"

The one-eyed man carried a knight's longsword at his waist, exuding the aura unique to a second-tier knight.

The people sitting next to him immediately fell silent, not daring to move.

"Very well, then you will follow my son's orders throughout this operation. If you dare to disobey, I will not spare you after the victory."

After a brief establishment of authority, the group quickly began discussing the classification of the spoils of victory.

At this moment, Xiaolong stood quietly to the side, watching these arrogant people excitedly discussing the distribution of profits, barely managing to suppress his laughter.

He really couldn't understand where these people got their confidence from, thinking that they could overthrow the mayor's rule with just a small group of people.

Shaking his head, Xiaolong stopped looking at these foolish and arrogant people and began to think about how the town mayor would deal with him and his son after this operation was over.

Logically, his father should have been executed, but over the past few days, he had successfully helped the town mayor lure out all the forces that wanted to rebel and gather them all together so that the mayor could wipe them out in one fell swoop. He even revealed all the activities at the upcoming meeting.

So many merits should be enough to save their lives, father and son.

After a while, the group that had successfully divided the spoils quieted down again.

"Son, it seems you're the one who's best suited to be the town mayor. We'll hand this town over to you after we conquer it."

After completing the discussions with his allies, One-Eyed Dragon was in a very good mood.

"Ahem, Father, do you think there's a possibility—I mean, a possibility—that we can't beat that town mayor?"

Xiao Long, unable to bear the sight of this group any longer, finally spoke up.

"What do you know, you little kid? Just follow us obediently, and if you're scared, hide first."

The speaker was Aaron, originally a village bully. After the village chief was defeated by demons, he fled to this town. Upon discovering the town's wealth, he began plotting, just like the one-eyed dragon, to plunder the town's riches.

Before Xiaolong found him, he had already gathered about ten people, preparing to rush into the city lord's mansion when the town's defenses were lax, loot a little and run away. He only joined the rebellion a couple of days ago after being persuaded by Xiaolong and pressured by his father, a second-tier knight.

"Hehe, then I wish you success."

After chuckling awkwardly twice, Xiaolong returned to his room and placed a written letter on his bedside table.

"The fish has taken the bait; we await the net's arrival."

Amidst the undercurrents, the town's first general meeting was held.

Residents gathered in twos and threes in the square and began to discuss the upcoming meeting.

"What do you think we'll do after the subsidies are canceled? Keep farming?"

"Hey, you've had your fun for so long and now you want me to go back to farming? No way! Anyway, I heard the town mayor doesn't have much power. If we cause a little trouble, he'll probably behave."

"That's true. If he doesn't continue distributing grain, we'll just storm the town mayor."

Incited by some with ulterior motives, the crowd quickly grew angry and resentful towards the town mayor they had never met. Some of the more agitated individuals even considered rushing out of the town.

Meanwhile, Loren stood in the shadows, observing the farce without making any reaction, as if it were none of his business.

Alice and Lina stood beside him, also watching the crowd about to riot.

"Um, Master, aren't you afraid they'll rebel? Judging by your forces, you can't possibly stop them. Even if you manage to suppress them, many people will die."

Alice, who had considerable experience in governing territories, couldn't contain herself and asked a question.

Although she was quite happy for the people to overthrow the evil wizard's rule, she knew that even if they succeeded, the evil wizard would only take her away from here. On the contrary, the reduction in the number of people would greatly increase the probability of her becoming an experimental subject.

Therefore, for her own safety, she hoped that this evil wizard could successfully resolve the incident.

"Oh? So, how do you think this incident should be resolved?"

Alice's words piqued Lauren's curiosity.

"Yes, we should go along with their demands and then resolve the issue later."

Alice offered a solution that seemed to work very well.

"No, compromising will only embolden them. I will never compromise. Besides, with my strength, even the entire town combined wouldn't be enough to defeat me."

"Even so, many people will die, which will be a serious blow to your entire territory."

"Heh, so what if they're dead? Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living."

His original plan was to cultivate the loyalty of young people and develop the territory around them. In his view, these people who had not been brainwashed, no, had received modern education, were prepared undead. Since they were all going to die and become undead anyway, he thought it was better to make them rebel quickly rather than wait so long, and they would all become undead after they died.

The dead are more useful than the living? Does this mean this evil wizard doesn't even spare corpses? He truly is a wizard born evil.

Alice, having misunderstood again, shuddered and lowered her head, not daring to speak again.
