Chapter 664: Veto

The so-called undead base can be simply understood as the undead city. Including but not limited to cemetery, corpse cave, dark factory, camp of the dead, magic well, ghost tower, heart of death and other buildings.

The role of buildings can be simply compared to barracks, private houses, farmland, military camps, academies, and city lord's mansions.

Of course, this analogy is very crude and inaccurate. A real undead city is very complicated, and it is impossible to have only these buildings.

With the undead base, you can stock up the dark elements most needed by the undead, and you can also use the dark elements to transform or enhance the strength of the existing undead army.

With the undead base, the undead army can maintain a normal state in the undead city during the truce state, and will not consume additional dark elements.

With buildings like Corpse Vaults, even without using corpses, you can use other things to summon a permanent army of undead.

With the undead base, the transformation speed of the undead will be greatly improved, and the combat power of the undead army in the undead city will also have a strong increase.

Only a necromancer with an undead base has the capital to make the world change his face. At the beginning, Payne's undead canyon was a simple undead base. If he is allowed to develop, let alone a small Carter Kingdom, even the Bright Empire will have a headache to deal with!

In addition, there is another feature of the undead base. The undead system is highly centralized. Almost all power in the undead city is concentrated in the undead mage himself.

This is also the reason why the generals reacted so fiercely to Payne's request to establish an undead base.

This is almost a blatant attempt to engage in separatism!

Although perhaps Payne's original intention was just to find a place for the undead army to recuperate in normal times, so as not to slowly turn into dry bones in a deep sleep, but making this request itself is suspected of disobedience.

Looking at Payne who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, Shang Ji also felt a little helpless.

He doesn't think that Payne has the heart of rebellion. After all, Payne's loyalty has been growing slowly recently, and it is now approaching the ninety mark. A loyalty with this value will not suddenly rebel without special circumstances.

However, Shang Ji really couldn't grant Payne's request, even if he just made great achievements!

The particularity of the necromancer system determines that the undead base must be controlled by Payne. Although Shang Ji was not afraid of his rebellion, he had to take into account the views of other generals.

Although Payne has contributed a lot this time,

But no matter how great his contribution is, he can't compare with Liu Yi, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Liu Meng and other veteran generals.

If Payne is allowed to build an undead base that belongs directly to him, what about the other generals? Liu Yi and Zhao Yun are far superior to Payne in terms of merit and qualifications. Payne has a base directly under his own. Will other people also allow it to build?

Once allowed, the world will be truly unified in the future, and it is estimated that there will be a group of powerful lords, large and small. Shang Ji is at most equivalent to the existence of Zhou Tianzi.

The enfeoffment system does have its unique advantages in many cases, but it is definitely not suitable for an early stage of power growth!

If it is not allowed, only Payne is allowed to build the undead base himself, and everyone else is vetoed. Since ancient times, it is human nature not to worry about scarcity but to worry about inequality. If things go on like this, it will not be good for businessmen or Payne himself.

"This matter is of great importance, and it is not suitable to make a hasty decision. We will discuss it after the war!"

After a moment of silence, Shang Ji spoke slowly.

"My subordinate was confused for a moment, and I begged my lord to forgive me." Payne breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and quickly pleaded guilty.

"Okay, I don't blame you for this. After all, you are a great hero. How can you kneel like this? Get up and talk!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, my lord, for your generosity!" Payne quickly got up, and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had already made up his mind that he would never mention the word Undead Base in the future. Not only did he not mention it, but other people would be anxious with him if he did!

"Okay, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and crimes must be punished. Let's not mention the matter of the undead base. You have helped the army capture more than 100,000 high-level prisoners of war. Your contribution is not small. I will reward you with 100,000 gold, a stone of Lingmi, and a mansion. Awarded Your position as the captain of the death school authorizes you to create the death army. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and live up to the general's expectations!"

"Thank you, my lord, I will swear allegiance to my lord to the death!"

Payne was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said excitedly.

Although the name Captain Death sounds awkward, and it is far less domineering than Captain Fenwu, Captain Yulu, Captain Xiaoqi, etc., it is already a real captain!

There are many lieutenants in the Pingzhou Army, and there are more than 100 lieutenants, large and small. But there are very few famous captains, and there are only about twenty of them. And these twenty are either hard-core cronies who have followed since the late Shang Dynasty, or peerless generals like Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.

Any famous school lieutenant can be called a confidant, and he is the mainstay of Pingzhou. The longer he spent in Dahan, the more Pain understood this terrifyingly powerful country, and he was overjoyed to be able to truly integrate into the senior management of Pingzhou.

"Okay, that's it for the time being. The war has just ended, and there are still many things to be busy, so don't hang around here. All the chiefs and generals will go to the prison camps and try their best to recruit prisoners of war. Intimidation, all means Yes, digest the captives as soon as possible!"

With a wave of his hand, Shang Ji directly suppressed the matter, then changed the subject and brought the topic to the captive again.

More than 100,000 prisoners were surrendered in this battle. If all of them were recruited by the golden condor, it would take more than a month to digest them all. The speed of taking over 100,000 high-level prisoners of war without cost in one and a half months was already amazing, but it is obviously impossible for the current merchants to waste more than a month to deal with the prisoners.

Although the Xianbei people are tough and tough, it does not mean that each of them is unyielding. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have so many captives and the scum of Xianbei in the east.

The conventional recruiting efficiency is naturally far inferior to the Golden Condor, but it is worse than nothing, and there are seven top military generals making moves at the same time, so the combined efficiency should still be acceptable.

As long as he can surrender, Shang Ji is not afraid of common problems such as low morale and lack of loyalty of the newly surrendered soldiers. There are no problems that cannot be solved by spending money. If there are, then spend more money!

Rewarding the newly surrendered soldiers with ten gold per person can basically guarantee the stability of the Guiyi Army. Each person is rewarded with 20 gold, and it is no problem for them to fight against some low-intensity wars.

If each person throws 50 gold, then they are fearless and loyal fighters, if each of them spends 100 gold...

Guiyi's servant army: "Swear allegiance to the great Shang Jitian Khan to the death! Cut the traitor Ke Bi Neng's corpse into thousands of pieces!! Kill every dog ​​Xianbei who dares to resist the king!!!"
