Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

Once the battles finally ended and peace returned to Sapphire Temple, the people were returned to their homes after we repaired them. It was easy to repair houses and such by imbuing the materials with souls and then shaping the materials as if they were golems. Like that not only all the houses became mighty golems that'll protect the city and regenerate if damaged, but the city was reformed and remade anew.

There were no Paladins left alive, and the church of water was completely destroyed, the building was made into smithereens and then I replaced the area with an open field where people can go to freely collect water from the Oasis anytime. Naturally, we also demolished the walls surrounding the Oasis.

The people were not afraid of us at all, in fact, they treated us as heroes and saviors, praising us and greeting us wherever we went to. We also freed the family of nobles of this city, who were all jailed by Emilia, alongside their former governor, a shy yet good natured man named Charles.

"Thank you so much for saving us, you don't know how big of a debt we owe you!" He started crying while hugging his family, who had been held hostage by the church for a while. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much…"

"I-It's fine, no need to cry so much." I sighed, helping him stand back up. "I hope this city can receive a proper treatment from now on. I will leave behind some Undead and Phantasmal Clones even as we leave, so this can be protected. This city and the previous one all belong below my protection. I will instantly teleport here if anybody dares to attack it."

"I-Is that so?" Wondered Charles. "T-Then by all means, Lady Maria, please take this city as your territory, we can give you an honorable nobility title and-"

"No need, I said I was going to protect it, it's all up to you how you handle and help the people recover from the years that Emilia's tyranny weighed down on the people's hearts." I explained. "Many innocent and hardworking people died because of her and the pricing the water was given, it is your job to get everything back together now, Charles."

"Y-Yes, I will do my best." He nodded. "But for now, shall we celebrate? Too many good things have happened one after another! We must make a small feast, at least! Naturally, you and your people are all invited, Lady Maria!"

"A feast?!" Nyx wagged her tail interested. "I'm hungry mama, let's accept the feast!"

"Okay, fine." I giggled, giving my daughter a head pat. "Very well, Charles. Let's eat something together then."

Celebrations quickly started, happy Arabic music created a rather relaxed atmosphere around the entire castle, as servants brought all kinds of dishes endemic of this place. People of the desert ate what was in here, and most of the food was also composed of giant insect monsters that roamed everywhere. There was also red meat and some bird meat, but it was much rarer.

As everyone was able to catch a break, celebrate, and eat, I also did so, checking the myriad of System Window messages I've been purposely avoiding because they were simply way too many… But oh boy, her we go, let's do this.
