Undead Scourge who love farming

Chapter 22 The Corrupted Alice

at the same time.

Inside the school.

After half a month of intellectual torture, Alice had long lost her initial excitement, replaced by deep exhaustion and a profound sense of disbelief.

How is that possible? How could that evil lord possibly know so much?

And this knowledge is just too difficult!

Are these things really something that humans can learn?

Alice was sitting in her seat, looking completely bewildered, holding her math test paper with a score of only sixty-something.

Although she wasn't as arrogant as other nobles, looking down on everyone of lower status, she still possessed a certain degree of aristocratic pride.

After all, she had lived a better life than these ordinary children since she was a child, and had received more education than them. However, she couldn't beat them in the exam, which made Alice feel a little doubtful about life.

What should we do? If this continues, we'll definitely be at the bottom.

While being at the bottom doesn't really matter—after all, she's always been a noblewoman with no ambitions—this is just too embarrassing.

Why don't we ask that evil lord this week? After all, he invented all these subjects, so he can definitely teach her well. Then, in the next monthly exam, she can really shock those classmates who were mocking her.

For some reason, this option suddenly popped into her mind.

No, why would I want to ask that demon for help? Have I really fallen?

That won't do; I need to find a way to escape.

But where could I go even if I left this place? Even if I returned to Leo City, I could only continue that painful life, and then marry some disgusting middle-aged nobleman after I came of age.

Thinking about it that way, staying here seems to be a better choice?

After all, I'm quite happy here every day, and I've made a lot of friends.

As for that evil lord, although I am just his pet, he never seems to have done anything bad to me.

Looking at it this way, it seems better to stay in this city after all.

No, that doesn't seem right either. Wasn't my goal to escape from here?

Alice, who had been lost in her fantasy, suddenly snapped out of it and found it hard to believe her own thoughts.

How could I possibly have the idea of ​​staying here?

Could it be that I have fallen into evil?

No way, isn't this a plot that only happens in novels?

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Alice felt her head becoming increasingly chaotic, as if it were about to break down.

at the same time.

In the city lord's palace.

Laurent was sitting in his study.

Reports were laid out on the table in front of him.

These are the work reports of the newly formed government. Loren only needs to glance at most of them to get a general understanding of the territory's situation. He can ignore any minor errors and test whether the newly formed government has the ability to discover and resolve them.

He only brings up and offers guidance on content that is utterly wrong.

Two hours passed quickly.

Lauren also put down the work report in his hand.

The internal development of the territory is currently fine, so the next task is naturally to expand outwards.

After all, this newly established city is far too small. If they want to build an undead army strong enough to conquer the entire Misty Canyon, the supplies from this small city are absolutely insufficient.

Therefore, capturing Leo City is essential.

As for how to seize Leo City, he already had a plan in mind.

First of all, a direct confrontation is definitely not an option. Their undead legion doesn't even number a thousand, and there isn't a single superhuman among those thousand. They certainly don't have the strength to fight against Leo City, one of the empire's border fortresses.

Therefore, we must adopt a peaceful evolution approach.

As for how it will evolve, that great man should have already given the answer.

Those are the common people.

Because Leo City is a border city, it is subjected to large-scale invasions by the demon race almost every month, which has led to a huge gap between the rich and poor in this territory.

To put it in a way that could be considered for World Heritage status, it's like collecting taxes in the city for sixty years.

Therefore, as long as these oppressed people see a glimmer of hope, they will definitely join the rebellion without hesitation.

Once most of the city's inhabitants have been successfully converted, the city lord of Leo can welcome his undead army when they invade.

Hmm, not bad, it's a perfect plan.

But who would be the best candidate for this mission?

After considering everyone around him, Lauren couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Either they are incapable of doing this job, or they hold an important position in the government and cannot extricate themselves from it.

While he was feeling confused, he suddenly remembered someone he had forgotten.

One-eyed dragon.

First of all, the opponent's strength is beyond doubt. A second-tier knight is still a very powerful force in Leo City, a border fortress that is not favored by the kingdom.

Then there's his business acumen, which is beyond question. You have to understand that all the people in his territory are well-fed and clothed, yet this one-eyed man was able to incite some people to rebel. He's simply a genius in the world of rebellion.

Finally, there's the issue of loyalty, which is the least of our worries. After all, a master-servant contract has been signed, and the other party will absolutely not disobey him.

With that in mind, Lauren immediately began to summon the one-eyed dragon.

At this time.

In the home of the one-eyed man.

The one-eyed man, now a slave, was lounging on the sofa, drinking beer, with some barbecue he had bought on the street on the table in front of him.

The air around us was filled with the aroma of food.

It seems that the one-eyed man has been having a relatively comfortable time these past few weeks.

At the beginning, the one-eyed man was actually quite scared and uneasy.

After all, he had become that lord's slave, and a slave with a history of rebellion at that.

He had witnessed firsthand how miserable the lives of slaves under nobles were, barely clothed and fed every day, and subjected to torture if their masters were in a bad mood.

The thought of his possible fate as a slave kept One-Eyed Dragon awake all night.

If I were really treated like that, I'd rather be dead.

However, in the days that followed, the one-eyed man did not receive any instructions from the lord, and his son successfully became a member of the territory's government as the lord had promised, and it seemed to be a very important position.

After the government was established, the entire territory came to life.

The rebellion seemed to have never happened.

Sigh, it seems I was wrong back then.

This lord is indeed a great man worth following.

He was neither as foolish as his predecessor, risking his life to protect civilians who were doomed, nor as tyrannical as a ruler who arbitrarily issued outrageous orders within his territory.

As he was reflecting on this, the one-eyed man suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart, and a passage of text appeared in his mind without warning.

This is one of the effects of slave contracts: they allow information to be transmitted to slaves regardless of distance.

After reading the message, the one-eyed man's expression immediately turned puzzled.

What task does the lord intend to assign me?

And how could I, a criminal who rebelled, actually receive a mission?

Filled with doubts, One-Eyed Dragon embarked on his journey to the City Lord's Mansion.
