Chapter 4, Skeleton Soldiers
Walk through lush woods.
Ahead was a flat grassland, littered with the bones of animals that had been eaten clean.
More than twenty prairie wolves were lying lazily on the grass, basking in the sun.
Several of them had obvious wounds on their bodies, and the wounds that had not yet dried dyed the grass a dark red.
Behind the wolves is a natural cave.
It was dark inside the cave and it was difficult to see clearly.
According to the previous experience in the tiger's den, there should be a wild beast inside, possibly a mini-BOSS.
Fang Hao hid in the bushes and watched the wolves from a distance.
There is an indescribable solemnity in my heart, if I don't have the ability to increase the power a hundred times.
Like other lords, there are only five peasants.
Can you survive facing these prairie wolves?
I'm afraid it's difficult, really difficult.
"Surround them, and then attack together." He said to the skeletons.
But the skeleton army still looked aloof, showing no expression and no response.
"Okay, go ahead, kill them all, leave no one behind." Fang Hao said helplessly.
Wow!
The skeleton army burst out of the bushes and ran towards the wolves with their weapons raised high.
There was no need for any tactical arrangements. The skeleton army had so many people that it formed a fan shape while running, surrounding the wolves and the cave.
The skeleton army that suddenly came out also startled the wolves.
But he didn't give the wolves a chance to react.
They were already fighting together.
No matter how ferocious the coyotes are, they are still too few in number.
Facing nearly a thousand skeletons, he looked particularly vulnerable.
As soon as they met, they were submerged by the sea of skeletons.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty prairie wolves had been hacked to death with axes.
In the cave, a pair of dark green eyes lit up, like dancing will-o'-the-wisps.
An extremely strong prairie wolf king came out angrily.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, he roared loudly.
Ouch - ow! !
【Prairie Wolf King (Level 2)】
[Skills: Bite, pounce on food. 】
But the next moment, when he saw the dense army of skeletons in front of the cave, the roar stopped abruptly.
Gaba, Gaba!
The skeletons turned their heads and looked at the Wolf King.
The next second, they all poured into the dark cave, and there was another burst of fighting and whining.
A few minutes later.
The skeletons that poured into the cave all came out again.
Several of the skeletons came out carrying the corpse of the Wolf King and the wooden treasure chest.
Bang!
With a dull sound, he threw the treasure box directly in front of Fang Hao.
"Aren't you stupid too!"
Knowing how to move the treasure box out and deliver it to Fang Hao seemed to be a bit wise.
But the skeletons carrying the treasure chest turned around and left, leaving him with the back of their heads.
Open the treasure chest.
[Obtain: First-level barracks drawings, ordinary wooden shield drawings (white). 】
The two drawings turned into a beam of light and penetrated into the Book of Lords.
Although there are very few, they are all ordinary drawings.
But Fang Hao still couldn't hide his joy.
The drawings of the barracks have been released. As soon as they are built, soldiers can be recruited.
Thereby increasing your own safety.
"Okay, take all the fallen tools and carry all the wolf corpses. Let's go back to the territory." Fang Hao greeted loudly.
The skeletons worked in pairs, lifted the wolf corpse high, and followed Fang Hao towards the territory.
……
Return to territory.
The skeletons threw the extra tools into the warehouse, and the wolf corpses were placed in the open space.
Turn around and go out to work again.
Although the skeletons are not very intelligent, they are very diligent and only work without eating or drinking.
[First level Warcraft Steppenwolf*24, slaughter or not! 】
Confirm slaughter!
[The slaughter is completed, and 9600 meat, 480 animal skins, and 360 animal bones are obtained. 】
[Second-level Warcraft Prairie Wolf King, slaughter or not! 】
Fang Hao continued to click to confirm.
[The slaughter is completed, and you will get 800 meat, 50 animal skins, and 40 animal bones. 】
After the slaughter was completed, the corpses piled in the open space turned into light and flew into the warehouse.
In the warehouse, the amount of meat stored exceeds several other resources.
Even if I could eat again, I still wouldn't be able to eat so much meat.
The solution to the problem of wolf corpses is to build barracks.
[Level 1 Barracks Blueprint (Bone Burial Ground): Required resources: 300 wood, 500 stone, and 60 hemp rope. 】
Undead camp buildings do not consume much wood.
The consumption of stone is more.
A location was selected.
Build barracks directly.
The light flashed, and the barracks burial ground had been built.
【Level 1 Bone Burial Ground】
[Recruitable: Skeleton Soldiers]
[Skeleton Soldier: 300 bones. 】
(Remarks: You can recruit the troops of your camp in this building. Improving the building level can unlock new soldier types and higher-level troops.)
[Materials required for upgrade: 500 wood, 720 stone, 80 leather, 240 hemp rope, 5 shadow stone. 】
The burial ground is larger than the underground cemetery.
An underground cemetery, like a cemetery.
The bone burial ground is more like a mass grave.
The recruitment conditions actually require 300 animal bones.
If the wolves had not been killed just now, the number of bones would really not be enough.
Similarly, someone in the channel also got a prop called 'Soul Crystal'.
It is difficult to obtain and is a tool for summoning troops.
It has the same effect as your own white bones.
I chose recruitment directly.
Anyway, they have to be recruited sooner or later. If you come out early and work early, you can develop the territory faster.
[Triggered by a hundredfold increase, 101 skeleton soldiers were successfully recruited. 】
A burly skeleton crawled out from under the barracks.
Rays of light fell all around at the same time, representing the remaining 100 skeleton soldiers who had increased their strength.
【Skeleton Soldier (Level 1)】
【Faction: Undead】
[Racial characteristics: undead, hollow skeleton, light weakness. 】
[Skill: Shield Bash]
[Inherent abilities: primary combat proficiency, primary swordsmanship proficiency, primary shield proficiency. 】
[Undead]: This unit is already dead and cannot have morale or emotions. It is also immune to poison, disease, blindness, and mental magic.
[Hollow Skeleton]: There is no fatal weakness.
[Light Weakness]: Light magic has a 20% damage bonus to oneself.
[Shield Bash]: (Equip a shield) Slam the enemy with the shield, causing bludgeoning damage and a chance to stun the target.
(Remarks: The skeleton soldiers who took up the weapons held up their rugged bone arms. They were beginning to gain combat effectiveness, but they were still fragile and difficult to withstand the enemy's continuous attack.)
……
The skeleton soldiers are slightly taller than the labor skeletons, and they are not all bare bones.
Instead, his upper body was hung with a torn cloth shirt, which was fluttering in the breeze like a pile of mop strips.
to be honest.
The newly added combat arms did not bring many surprises to Fang Hao.
The first three abilities are the same as the Labor Skeleton, and the last one has an additional shield bash skill.
You also need to equip a shield to be effective.
By the way, the weapon drawings obtained today are of the shield type.
Immediately open the crafting page of the Book of Lords.
[Wooden shield: 3 wood, 2 hemp rope. 】
manufacture!
[Triggered by a hundredfold increase, successfully making a wooden shield*101. 】
A pile of wooden shields immediately appeared next to him.
"Okay, everyone pick up the wooden shields and stone axes." Fang Hao shouted.
The skeleton soldiers stepped forward, each picking up equipment in their hands.
"Your mission is to patrol around the territory, protect the labor skeletons from working normally, and then collect prey." Fang Hao pointed.
After receiving the order, the skeleton soldiers turned and left.
The territory is still in the novice protection stage.
As long as you are within the territory, you will not be attacked by any wild beasts or enemies.
Therefore, as long as you keep quiet, there will be no danger.
On the contrary, the labor skeletons need some protection to avoid further attacks by wild beasts.
interfere with normal work.
After explaining everything, it was getting late.
His stomach growled, reminding him that he was still a human being.
Haven't eaten anything for a day.
There is flint in the lord's cabin.
A bonfire was lit, the meat was chopped into pieces with a stone axe, skewered with wooden sticks, and roasted on the fire.
Immediately, the aroma of barbecue emanated.
While waiting for the barbecue to be fully cooked, he opened the chat channel out of boredom.
Without the mobile phone, it became the only entertainment tool.
"Who has food? I am so hungry that I am weak. Please give me something to eat."
"I'm so hungry, but I don't dare to go out. Who can help me?"
"Who has a way to go back? 5 million, I can transfer it to you immediately."
"Wake up upstairs and accept the reality earlier!"
"Materials are exchanged for food. Farmers' loyalty has been reduced to a low level. If I don't give me food, I'm afraid they will eat me. Who has food? Materials are exchanged for food."
"Please feed me online, I am the beauty of the film school."
……
Um?
Can I still exchange supplies?
There is indeed a bit of excess food behind him.
Instead of waiting for it to rot, it is better to replace it with some food that you need.
Just do what comes to mind.
After some research, I found out how to exchange items in the Book of Lords.
[Trader: Fang Hao]
【Registered Items: Meat】
[Quantity: 1000 units. 】
[Required for 1 unit: 50 units of wood, 40 units of stone, 5 units of iron ore (any one). 】
(Remarks: If you have special items, you can privately chat to increase the amount of food.)
……
As soon as the information was released, the chat channel exploded.
"What the hell, someone has put meat on the shelves, and it's still 1,000 units."
"Boss is awesome...does the boss lack a pendant on his leg?"
"Fang Hao? Is he the one who upgraded the main city first, Fang Hao? Let me go, it's really..."
"Holy shit, Fang Hao's boss Tianhu is starting."
"This is too dark. One unit of meat requires so many supplies. Are you still a human being?"
"Boss, I have a gold tooth. Is it considered a special resource? If you want it, I will break it off and give it to you immediately."
"Keep the yellow teeth upstairs to fume the mosquitoes, Mr. Fang Hao. I have a gold chain here, and I'll exchange it for two units of food."
"Keep your gold chain and hang yourself!" (End of Chapter)
