Chapter 7, The Wriggling Spine
Seeing this, you already know the origin and purpose of [Wriggling Spine].
Someone mentioned it in the chat channel.
Building a barracks does not mean unlimited recruitment of troops.
The human camp will drop a consumable called Soul Crystal, which is a necessary material for recruiting troops.
Just like Fang Hao's summoning of skeleton soldiers requires 300 animal bones.
However, animal bones are slaughtering materials and can be used to recruit undead troops, but they are not the main recruitment supplies for the undead camp. They are more like a temporary substitute.
[Wriggling Spine] is the main recruiting material for the Undead, and it has the same function as Soul Crystal.
The Skeleton Soldiers clean up the battlefield fairly quickly.
Supplies have been collected.
[Harvest: 21 iron daggers, 8 wriggling spines, a flatbed truck, 2 one-horned sheep carcasses, and 1 giant-horned deer carcass. 】
There were more than twenty kobolds, but only eight squirming spines were dropped.
It seems that there is a certain probability of falling, and not every corpse will have it.
Fang Hao did not take the next step, but fell into thinking.
There is obviously a kobold stronghold, or camp, nearby, otherwise there would be no hunting kobold team.
Exploring the opponent's location and military strength has become a crucial matter.
Fang Hao picked up an iron dagger and put it on his waist.
【Iron Dagger (White)】
【Category: Dagger】
[Attribute: First-level damage. 】
(Description: Can a wooden handle be used as a weapon by inserting an iron piece into it? Is this really a brain-brained method?)
"You guys change your weapons." Fang Hao selected twenty uninjured soldiers and replaced the stone axes in their hands.
The quality of the stone ax is also (white), but its function is different.
Although the stone ax has damage, it does not reach the first level of damage. Its main function is to cut wood.
In combat, the damage is not as good as an iron dagger.
After hearing Fang Hao's order, twenty soldiers immediately came up and changed their weapons.
"Okay, follow me." Fang Hao continued.
It's not time to go back yet, we need to find out the location and number of kobold camps.
Instead of waiting for the other party to attack him, he would rather find out the situation and be ready to take the initiative.
The opponent's location is not difficult to find.
Except for the rutted marks left on the ground.
A clear path can also be seen in the dense woods.
Passing through the deepest part of the woods, you can see a defensive wall surrounded by logs and a towering sentry tower.
There is no obvious difference from human villages.
Many kobolds came in and out, cutting wood, quarrying stone, and collecting various basic resources.
If there is no protective cover.
Fang Hao would think that this is also a human territory with a special race.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
There were also other kobold hunting teams coming back, and in addition to the carcasses of beasts, there were also human bodies on the flatbed trucks.
Fang Hao made a rough calculation and found that there were about five to six hundred people in this camp.
In addition to the large number of slingers, there are also kobold warriors holding iron knives and kobold warriors holding iron axes.
"Let's go back." Fang Hao said, slowly retreating with his soldiers.
This camp must be eliminated, but not now.
It is necessary to prepare enough manpower to launch an attack.
Return to the woods, take the flatbed truck and food captured before, and return to the territory.
When we returned to the territory, the sun was shining brightly.
"You continue to patrol." Fang Hao said.
Pushing the flatbed truck into the protective cover, the skeleton soldiers returned to their posts again, patrolling to protect the labor skeletons from wild beasts.
Of course, it is also a good thing if there are wild animals, which can increase food reserves.
[First-level Warcraft One-horned Sheep*2, First-level Striped Deer, should they be slaughtered? 】
slaughter!
[The slaughter is completed, and you will get 1200 meat, 90 animal hides, and 60 animal bones. 】
In addition to obtaining [Wriggling Spine], carts and meat are also good gains today.
The most important thing was to discover the kobold camp near the territory.
Thinking of the large number of kobolds so close to his territory, he unconsciously became nervous.
This is not a game, this is reality.
People die every day from various reasons.
Not one to hesitate, he immediately came to the barracks.
【Level 1 Bone Burial Ground】
[Recruitable: Skeleton Soldiers]
[Skeleton Soldier: Wriggling Spine 1. 】
(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. 】
Previously, recruiting skeleton soldiers required 300 animal bones.
Now only one squirming spine is needed.
In other words, one squirming spine is equivalent to 300.
[Recruitable: Skeleton Soldiers, consumption: Creeping Spine 8, do you want to recruit? 】
Confirm recruitment.
The system beep sounded again.
[Triggered by a hundredfold increase, 808 skeleton soldiers were successfully recruited. 】
Swish, swish, swish! !
Except for the 8 skeleton soldiers who crawled out of the bone burial place, light flashed in the territory.
All campsites were occupied.
Fang Hao had seen this kind of scene a lot, so it was nothing unusual.
Continue to make 808 wooden shields and 808 stone axes, and give them to them.
"A few of you will go hunting and look for food, and the rest will carry supplies and transport the resources collected by the labor skeletons to the warehouse." Fang Hao gave the order.
After receiving the order, a group of skeleton soldiers turned around and walked out of the territory to complete their mission.
After the explanation.
Light the extinguished fire and use the iron dagger to start slicing the meat to prepare the barbecue.
He had made up his mind to get rid of the kobold camp.
Before that, let’s take care of lunch.
Eat and drink enough.
Compared to yesterday, the pieces of meat chopped with a stone ax and sliced with a dagger were more suitable for barbecue.
It just lacks seasoning and happy water.
Otherwise you would be happier.
Soon, the smell of meat spreads, stimulating people's appetite.
Savor the tender barbecue.
Open the chat channel and see what everyone is discussing.
"Which of you has soul crystals? Undead appear outside my territory. The resources are exchanged for soul crystals."
"It's the same here. One farmer was killed by something unknown, and the other farmers didn't dare to go out to work."
"Resources are exchanged for weapons. Are there any weapons for sale?"
"Everyone is a stone tool, where do the weapons come from?"
"I am Ren Yongning. Whoever can take me home, I will make him the CEO of the company."
"I've never heard of it. Who are you, the CEO of a noodle shop?"
"I'm so hungry. Don't you, Mr. Fang Hao, put food on the shelves at noon? The farmers and I have saved a lot of resources and are just waiting to exchange for food."
"Call Mr. Fang Hao."
"Same call."
"Call together..."
……
Fang Hao looked at the shouts that came out of the channel and smiled bitterly.
The essence of human beings is indeed to repeat reading.
Even if the opportunity to speak is very precious, it should be used for rereading.
Today is the second day for everyone to travel through time.
It can be seen from the speech that there are differences in the development of the territory.
Most people are still in the initial stage, logging, quarrying, and gathering resources.
Some people also established barracks due to chance encounters or personal abilities.
Begin to realize the importance of soul crystal.
The human camp can only recruit troops in the barracks if they have soul crystals.
But whether it is recruiting troops, there are still only farmers.
Food is a necessity.
If sufficient food is not provided, the people will lose their loyalty and even defect.
The greater the territory's population, the greater the demand for food.
So food is a very popular item right now.
Thinking of this, Fang Hao directly put 2,000 units of food on the shelves.
At the same time, all discussions in the channel stopped abruptly.
After two seconds of stasis, there were screams of surprise.
"The boss has put food on the shelves. Who said something happened to the boss? He has such a bad mouth."
“Brother Fang Hao is awesome!”
"Brother Fang Hao is awesome!" (End of this chapter)
