"Extraordinary promotion!" A large amount of professional power was mixed with the power of the soul pool, and was continuously poured into the body of the Skeleton Lord.
Boom!
The Bone Lord fell into a burning state.
It’s just that the flame was blood-colored, without any heat, and did not cause any harm to the Skeleton Lord. Instead, it benefited greatly from it.
This is the strengthening of the soul fire by the soul power in the soul pool.
In order to enhance the effect, Gavin directly used all his legendary charm bonus abilities.
When the soul flame is extinguished, the Skeleton Lord has completed his transformation and become one of the lords of this soul pool. Gavin can also be promoted to five undead lords, one for each point of killing divinity.

Compared to the mediocre Skeleton Cavalry Lord, the Skeleton Lord's abilities are relatively more powerful. He not only has stronger battlefield survivability, but also has stronger commanding power. After all, he is a specially created Undead Lord. Used to help control the undead.
When the two fought before, Gavin's fighting power was too strong and he was in a crushing state, giving the Skeleton Lord no chance to show his strength.
Gavin originally wanted to promote more skeleton cavalry lords, form more skeleton cavalry regiments, and increase his tactics.
But unfortunately, there are some skeleton cavalry with extraordinary hit dice. Those with high intelligence and charm are basically not seen. Even with the lord bonus, they can barely reach ten points, and there is no lord who can lead troops. Just a piece of trash.
Leading a special force such as the undead cannot be like intelligent creatures like humans, who can pick out generals from afar. They must rely on the blessing of magic. If they have it, they will have it, and if they don’t, they will not.
The first task Gavin gave to Lord Skeleton Cavalry was to clear out all the wild skeleton soldiers within the scope of the soul pool.
The first is to establish a deep defense of the soul pool to prevent hostile undead from sneaking in in the future.
If there are no wild skeletons in the territory, and other undead creatures sneak in in the future, they will be very clear from the soul perspective of the soul pool and can be discovered at a glance.
The second is to collect more killing power to prepare for attacking the next soul pool.
The target is naturally the skeleton tauren pool that was previously targeted.
Gavin did not wait until the territory was full of troops. He gathered 20,000 skeleton soldiers and 8,000 skeleton cavalry and set off in a mighty manner.
Even so, it took them nearly a week. This was after the Skeleton Lord and the Skeleton Cavalry Lord used their ability to control skeleton soldiers to recruit a large number of wild skeleton soldiers. Otherwise, they would rely on the soul pool to themselves, they had to wait more than a month.
This method of recruiting wild skeleton soldiers can only be used once in your own territory.
Once covered by the soul pool, there will no longer be skeleton soldiers in the wild.
The 1,500 Killing Skeleton Soldiers and 1,500 Killing Skeleton Cavalry that Gavin first transformed served as guards around him.
With an absolutely superior force, Gavin stopped playing any tricks this time and went straight to draw A.
There is no way to play.
The previous collision of souls in the sea of consciousness was obviously a mistake.
The Skeleton Lord was obviously on guard, and he retracted all the troops in the soul pool, forming a dense sea of skeletons, firmly guarding himself and the soul pool in the center.
This is just like hitting a fixed target. For Gavin, who has superior troops, there is no difficulty at all.
All it takes is the simplest and most mindless strategy and tactics.
The skeleton cavalry rushes into the formation, and the skeleton soldiers follow up to expand the victory.
The best way for infantry to deal with cavalry is to form a formation, but that must be done in an organized and disciplined manner.
The unorganized accumulation of skeleton soldiers is just delaying their destruction.
One point needs to be highlighted.
Although this is a skeleton tauren pool, it is not an endless expanse of skeleton tauren. Skeleton soldiers are still the majority, and skeleton tauren only account for about one-third.
This situation is not unique here, the same is true for Gavin's Skeleton Horse Pool.
The number of skeleton soldiers produced is obviously more than that of skeleton war horses.
Therefore, it is impossible to achieve full cavalry as soon as you start.
It is not difficult to understand that such a situation occurs. Simply put, the core point is enough - the population base.
In the multiverse, the population base of humanoids is far beyond what ordinary intelligent races can match.
Not to mention, there are also harsh conditions required to fall into the bottomless abyss.
Whether it is a war horse or a tauren corpse, the chance of falling into the bottomless abyss is even smaller.
All in all, even the bottomless abyss that seems extremely chaotic and absurd must abide by the overall operating laws of the multiverse.
Things are dead, but people are alive.
If you want all skeleton cavalry or skeleton tauren, there is no way out.
That is, through large-scale wars, those skeleton soldiers will be consumed, so that the soul pool will continuously produce new rare soldiers, thereby achieving the purpose of diluting the proportion of soldiers.
However, this method takes time, and it is measured in years, and you need to ensure that you have the ability to crush the enemy and control the rhythm of the war.
Otherwise, it would be easy to lose both your wife and your troops.
"Charge!" The Skeleton Lord did not sit still and wait for death.
He consciously pushed out the skeleton soldiers on the periphery, with the purpose of using these cannon fodder to resist the most powerful first round of charge attack by the skeleton cavalry.
Lack of strict command is a common problem among skeleton soldiers.
Even with the assistance of the Soul Pool, the Skeleton Lords can only generally control these skeleton soldiers and let them respond to their war orders, but there is no way to micro-manage them.
Therefore, the human sea tactic is always the best choice for skeleton soldiers.
When the charging momentum of the skeleton cavalry was slightly slowed down, the skeleton minotaurs hiding behind the skeleton soldiers also lowered their skulls and bull heads, stepped away and launched the charge.
"Fireball, attack!" Another cold and ruthless voice sounded.
Phew!
No fewer than thirty blazing fireballs rose into the sky at the same time.
This time Gavin wouldn't admit his mistake.
It's not the flaming attack of the flaming skull, but the serious fireball technique.
Both are Skeleton Lords. Those who have soul pools and those who do not have different opinions on whether they rely on the soul pool to fight.
The first to suffer was not the skeleton cavalry, but our own skeleton soldiers, accompanied by violent explosions and sweeping waves of fire.
The skeleton soldiers who stood in front of the Skeleton Minotaur and Skeleton Cavalry fell down in pieces. At this time, the Skeleton Minotaur rushed in with rumbling steps, and viciously hit the person who had just been hit by the fireball. Enter the skeleton cavalry who has been ravaged by magic.
These large skeleton soldiers with thick bones were no worse than the skeleton cavalry in charging. The height of their horns was just right, and they directly knocked those skeleton knights off their horses.
The large skeletal two-handed weapons in their hands were also hit hard.
With the momentum of the charge, this attack is particularly terrifying. As long as it is hit hard, the man and the horse will often be hammered to pieces.
The second round of fireball attacks from the skeleton tauren army has also arrived, and it has begun to follow the attack direction of the skeleton tauren.
Further tear apart the Skeleton Cavalry formation and clear obstacles for their advance.
Suddenly, the army of murderous skeletons that was originally attacking with great momentum showed signs of decline. The skeleton cavalry army, which was the main force of the attack, showed signs of being cut off by the enemy.
Infantry and artillery coordination. Gavin, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was not surprised but delighted.
I didn’t expect that this Skeleton Lord was such a talented person that he could coordinate infantry and artillery so well.
Those new armies with exclusive sacrifices to the Goddess of Strategy are nothing more than that.
After occupying the soul pool and having a steady source of troops, Gavin's mentality naturally changed.
Now he is no longer afraid that the opponents he encounters are too powerful. He is afraid that they are all not very outstanding guys like the Skeleton Cavalry Lord.
A weak enemy means that the harvest after the war will be small.
In the war that took place here, there was no wealth to loot. The only wealth that could be used as wealth was the soul pool and the other were those special undead. As for the divine power of killing, it was Gavin's exclusive harvest.
"Andrew, disrupt their casters! The skeleton soldiers press forward to block the skeleton minotaurs. The skeleton cavalry withdraws and reorganizes the team." Gavin quickly adjusted his strategy and tactics.
As long as the enemy reveals his strength, the rest will be easy to handle.
With a short distance teleportation, the dog demon directly penetrates deep into the enemy's interior.
This immediately caused a lot of commotion in the enemy's army, and the infantry and artillery coordination came to an abrupt end. The skeleton warlocks were running around avoiding the pursuit of the dog demons, and did not bother to cast spells. With their small bodies, they could Unable to withstand the bite of the dog demon.
The development of infantry and artillery synergy in the multiverse still has a long way to go.
Firstly, the range of long-range attacks is not sufficient. Those mages who provide long-range fire support must be in the army and within sight.
This approach can easily expose oneself to the enemy.
Secondly, there are top combatants in the world who can go deep into the enemy army alone to carry out beheading tactics.
For the Skeleton Lord, the Dog Demon is an almost unsolvable existence.
I have no men who can stop this quasi-legendary devil at all. Those skeleton minotaurs can only slow down the rhythm of his attack - taking advantage of their own death.
Not to mention those skeleton warlocks who fled upon hearing the news, even he had to retreat and hide himself deeper into the skeleton army to prevent being beheaded.
Without the long-range fire support provided by the skeleton warlocks, the attack pace of the skeleton minotaurs has obviously slowed down a lot.
The skeleton soldiers following the skeleton cavalry took the opportunity to rush up and also used the skeleton sea tactic to drown them.
The Skeleton Cavalry Lord took the opportunity to lead the Skeleton Cavalry out of the battle, retreated to a distance to regroup, and prepared to charge the enemy again.
After a cursory glance, the number of skeleton cavalry was reduced by nearly one-third compared to before the troops were sent out, and most of them were the work of skeleton tauren.
This shows the power of this infantry-artillery collaboration.
In other words, these skeleton cavalry are undead souls without intelligence and have no fear at all.
Otherwise, the losses just suffered will be even greater, and there will not even be a chance to regroup.
After all, once the enemy's military strength becomes too strong and our own side suffers heavy casualties, it will easily cause the army to flee and collapse.
Before the Skeleton Cavalry could charge again, countless mad barks were heard in the distance, and a hound of astonishing size appeared in sight.
It is no less than six meters tall, with shoulders bulging high, more like a bear than a hound, and its whole body is made of densely packed corpses.
Even in the Bone Plains where skeletons are everywhere, this look is a bit scary.
Corpse Hound.
The most powerful undead lord around.
Isn’t he without wisdom?
Why did he suddenly come here?
Gavin didn't have time to think too much and directly issued an order to the Lord of Skeleton Cavalry: "Continue to attack and tear apart the defense lines of those skeleton tauren. Leave this to me."
He then personally led three thousand killing guards to greet them. Go up.
An excellent commander will never invest all his troops at once, but always leave himself a force to deal with various unexpected situations.
Now is the unexpected situation.
The Corpse Hound did not come by himself. Behind him, there was also a mighty army of Skeleton Hounds.
Either a corpse hound, or a skeleton hound formed from wolf bones.
But don't underestimate their fighting power because of this. They also inherited the sensitivity of canines. The canine's unique pounce and bite are still very effective in dealing with skeletal undead.
When they clashed with the Skeleton Knights, they all jumped up and pounced directly on the Skeleton Knights on horseback.
Some were blown away by the skeleton knight's hammer, and some were knocked away by the skeleton horse.
However, there were also skeleton knights who were rushed off their horses by skeleton hounds, and some whose arms or thighs were bitten and torn off forcefully.
Although soul fire can piece bones together, there is no way to compare with the strength of muscles and tendons.
On the battlefield, you can often see skeleton soldiers being broken apart by hammers, and the soul fire trying to put them back together again.
The battle between the Killing Skeleton Cavalry and the Skeleton Hound resulted in a winner and a loser.
When it comes to killing skeleton soldiers and skeleton hounds, you will be at a disadvantage.
The arms or thighs of a large number of killing skeleton soldiers were torn off by skeleton hounds and carried away in their mouths.
If he loses his arm, the Skeleton Killer still has a certain fighting capacity.
But if you lose your thigh, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, unless you can find a new thigh on the battlefield and install it for yourself.
The most conspicuous and tough one is undoubtedly the Corpse Hound.
It charged while letting out a howl of terror.
This howl is not physical in nature, but a howl of the soul.
Many of the killing skeleton cavalry who bore the brunt were actually trembling, their whole bodies were rattling and swinging uncontrollably, just like human beings who were in extreme fear, and it was difficult to react effectively.
Normally, the undead will not be affected by this control spell. They are not living creatures, and their bodies will not be affected by additional hormones.
But now, it is obviously not normal.
The fearful power of the corpse hound does not act on the body, but on the soul. The soul fire of the undead has a significant suppressive effect.
The Corpse Hound just opened its mouth, stretched out its head, and directly swallowed the knight who was leading the Skeleton Cavalry Killer.
Accompanied by a crackling sound of bones moving, the killer skeleton soldier suddenly appeared on the shoulders of the corpse hound. The reddish soul fire belonging to the killer skeleton soldier had not yet completely dissipated.
As for the skeleton war horse and the corpse hound, they didn't care at all. They slapped it into a pile of bones and continued to move forward on it.
Gavin was not in a hurry to take action against the corpse hound. Instead, he transformed into a giant prairie eagle and circled around the entire battlefield.
After confirming that there were no more ambush troops, he fell behind the Skeleton Hound Legion and started frantically transforming those Skeleton Hounds.
Let’s see who kills faster or I transform faster.
Gavin discovered at this moment that the bottomless abyss was the paradise of the war god system.
There is no need to consider supplies or sources of troops here.
Many attrition tactics that were originally unplayable can be used unscrupulously here, and you can completely let go.
This is another day for Ms. Strategy to win. As long as she lies in the Kingdom of God and does nothing, a massive amount of faith will come to her door.
This war of attrition did not last long. When the Corpse Hound saw Gavin's appearance, it immediately changed its direction and rushed towards him menacingly.
Even though he was hundreds of meters away, Gavin could clearly feel the strong malice shown by the Corpse Hound towards him.
"You came to my door on your own initiative, saving me the trouble of finding you."
Gavin once again transformed into the strongest land combat form - the violent blue bear, without any hesitation. Fearfully, he rushed towards the corpse hound. (End of this chapter)
