Undead Scourge who love farming

Well, what's done is done. Let's eat first.

As a half-baked psychologist, Lauren really didn't know what to do, so he could only take extra care of the other person in the days that followed.

Breakfast time passed in silence.

After breakfast, Lauren prepared to start work.

"Lina, come with me for a moment. I'm about to announce a new policy."

As the mayor of a small town, even though he wasn't granted a fiefdom and lacked legitimacy, he still had to maintain a certain level of prestige.

In the past, Mayor Loren had mostly stayed in the shadows, while Lina was in charge of issuing orders and compiling information about the territory, leaving him to essentially be a hands-off manager.

Anyway, they're people I've known since I was a child, so I feel safe using them. I just need to focus on the overall direction.

"OK."

Lina remained as compliant as ever.

"Alice, after you wash the dishes, take a walk around the area."

After pondering for a while, Laurent said to Alice...

He really didn't have any good ideas about Alice, who was riddled with problems. He could only hope that letting her go out for a walk would have some effect.

Alice shuddered when her name was called, fearing that the evil wizard would soon send her to the laboratory to begin his wicked experiments.

However, after hearing the whole sentence, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she's not used as experimental material, that's fine.

After the crisis was resolved, she began to ponder the purpose of the order.

Let her wander around for a bit? Doesn't this evil wizard fear that she might take the opportunity to escape?

After thinking for a while, Alice quickly understood the other person's intention.

This is a test to see if I'm obedient.

After saying this, the other party will hide in the shadows. If you try to escape, they will come out and control you, then immediately turn you into an experimental subject.

If I behave well, I will pass the test and be able to become this evil wizard's pet.

So that's how it is. You inherently evil wizard dared to plot against me. You have a way to die.

Alice, who had already seen through everything, said nothing more and returned to her room.

Lauren was also a bit dumbfounded at this point.

Didn't I tell her to go out for a walk? Why did she go back to her room? Could it be that Alice is actually a homebody?

After pondering for a while, Loren, unable to figure it out, had no choice but to give up for the time being and went to his study to give Lina his new orders.

Meanwhile, three days later, he will hold the first town-wide assembly in the town square to announce that he will become the lord of this territory and rename this nameless town the City of Beginnings, signifying the place where a new kingdom begins.

After all, since Loren began developing the town, he has never declared his legitimacy, and the people in the town see him as no different from a mountain king who rules the mountains.

After an hour of work handover, Lina returned to her room with a thick stack of documents, while Lauren finally had some free time and began to think about whether his city needed an administrative body.

The current population is still small, and even if the entire city's administration were handed over to Lina, she could still accomplish it well with the help of her undead army.

But as the number of people in the territory increased, Lina's tasks became increasingly difficult.

Therefore, it seems appropriate to establish an administrative body after the town-wide assembly, and the personnel can be selected from capable individuals within the academy and territory.

With Loren's order, the entire town began to slowly turn like a gear.

One by one, the undead, masked, posted flyers in prominent places throughout the town.

They have many identities.

They are the fearsome town law enforcement team, the hardworking farmers in the fields, the staff responsible for distributing food subsidies, and the town's self-defense force responsible for resisting evil.

In short, they can be found in virtually every place where they are needed.

It can be said that they have taken exploitation to the extreme.

Thankfully, the dead aren't human, otherwise Laurent would probably have been hung on a lamppost long ago.

Time quickly passed to the next day.

People who woke up in the morning soon saw the flyers posted on the street.

With nothing else to do, the crowd quickly gathered in twos and threes to read the second decree issued by the town's mayor, who had never shown his face before.

The decree likely includes the following three points.

First, a town-wide meeting will be held three days later to begin a census, during which all town residents must register their household registration.

Second, all subsidies for the town were cancelled.

Third, the land surrounding the town will be distributed according to the number of people, and everyone will have their own land. The specific details will be explained at the town assembly three days later.

The three simple decrees immediately caused a huge uproar in the small town.

"No more subsidies? What happened? Does the mayor run out of money?"

"It must be those damned noble insects who stole our food."

Most of the people in the town were very angry, but there were also some reasonable people.

"It's normal that they don't distribute grain. At least they're giving us land now, which is much better than those damned nobles outside."

Of course, rational people are few and far between. After all, having been supported for a long time, most people here believe that distributing food is the mayor's duty, and that the inability to distribute food is naturally the mayor's problem.

Some extremists even began plotting a rebellion to seize the entire town.

One-Eyed Dragon was one of them.

He was originally a first-rank knight serving in a noble army, but the city under that nobleman's rule was soon on the verge of collapse due to a demon invasion.

The one-eyed dragon immediately advised the city lord to evacuate the city under the escort of the army, abandoning the lowly mortals, and head to the capital.

After all, the other party was a nobleman. Even if he lost the city, he could still gain a foothold in the capital with his title and accumulated connections and wealth, and live a safer and more comfortable life, so that he could also enjoy the benefits.

As a result, the city lord actually said he would live and die with the city. Ironically, the other knights thought so too, and even called him a coward.

Unable to bear it any longer, the one-eyed man fled the city on the spot, and soon heard the news of the city's destruction and the death of its lord.

Upon hearing this news, he secretly rejoiced that even though he had left, he had escaped a certain death.

After that, he began wandering with the refugees, hoping to find a suitable city to join.

A year ago, he discovered this strange town, and what shocked him even more was that the town was distributing food to its residents for free.

This reminded him of that foolish city lord.

So, in the days that followed, he began a full investigation of the town and discovered that it had almost no soldiers or troops.

This means that the owner of this town is a foolish nobleman who is rich but stupid.

Upon receiving the results, the one-eyed man immediately became excited and began to form cliques to overthrow the mysterious mayor, seize his wealth, and perhaps even become a nobleman above all others.

Unfortunately, most of the people here have plenty to eat and drink, so no one is willing to go off and mess around with him.

Fortunately, he was exceptionally resourceful and, through various forms of coercion and enticement, managed to build a team of fifty men.

Although this team had virtually no combat capability, taking over the undefended city lord's mansion was still quite easy.

Moreover, he himself was among them, a second-tier knight.

Just as the one-eyed man was lost in his fantasy, a henchman rushed over and relayed the mayor's new order.

This immediately caught his attention.

The issuance of this order perfectly fulfilled all the conditions for launching a rebellion.

The town's morale is low right now. If I could kill the mayor at the town assembly, wouldn't I be able to easily take his place?

This town mayor is still too young.

The one-eyed man grinned slyly, beginning to look forward to the conference three days later.
