Chapter 59 Recruiting Skeleton Miners
Helot rode the ghost horse and lightly crossed the low wall. In front of him was the open and empty red stone stronghold, which was filled with a sea of fire formed by the galloping burning cavalry. The queue of walking corpses was torn to pieces and turned into a pile of huddled charcoal in the fire; the skeletons were rushed to the ground and were trampled into pieces in an instant.
The Horrible Knight Howl led the Burning Cavalry freely, waving fire whips to ignite everything that could be ignited.
The blue mages on the south side of the camp continued to output large-scale magic. Fireballs like meteorites fell down, setting off violent explosions.
In the light of the fire, bats filled the sky above the entire camp. The vampires stared at the battlefield below. Once they discovered the presence of powerful undead in the defenders, they swarmed towards them.
The shadow of the sword was like a net, and the lone undead didn't even have a chance to resist.
The defense system of the red stone stronghold has been completely destroyed, and all the skeletons that rushed out of the mine have become free experience.
At this time, Helot's experience gain prompt was too fast to see the value clearly.

[Your level is increased to level 22]

[Do you want to plunder the redstone stronghold? 】
Helot’s unceremonious choice: plunder!
An attack battle lasted less than an hour. The joint combat forces commanded by Helot completely annihilated the defenders of the red stone stronghold. The commander of the defenders was a corpse witch who was speeding away in the melee. Howl came and beheaded with a knife.
When the last tower was blown up, there was no resistance in the red stone stronghold. Only the skeletons in the mine were still sending people away.
Then under the orders of Helot, the looting began after the war.
The Red Stone Stronghold is an iron ore area. The stones building the camp are all red, and they look like a furnace under the light of the fire.
The vampires and the Burning Cavalry cleaned the battlefield together, and the looted belongings were moved to Helot in boxes.
There were not many gold coins, only more than 10,000. Helot put them all into his space bag with a wave of his hand.
Then there was a large amount of materials used for refining iron ore. Among them was a box of quick-melting concentrated carbon rods, which are very valuable steel-making materials. Hailot put them into his space bag without ceremony.
There are also a lot of iron tools, including skeleton miners' pickaxes, armor pieces from walking corpses, iron nails, iron sheets, and iron ingots piled up in mountains, with an uncounted amount of fine steel mixed in.
These are very valuable resources in the Land of Death, but the player's space luggage capacity is limited, and the army will continue to attack the hinterland of the Rock Wilderness, so it is impossible to carry these burdens.
Halot was troubled by not being able to take it with him.
Frank made a suggestion...collect the skeleton miners in the mine.
“How to collect it?”
Due to the rapid speed of the raid, only a few of the skeleton miners in the mine came out. Now the Burning Cavalry and the vampires are blocking the entrance of the mine, and the remains of the skeletons have blocked the entrance, and the skeleton miners inside are all sealed in the mine. It is estimated that the number is not 20,000, but more than 10,000.
Helot's level has now reached 23, and his command value is close to 800, but it is far from enough to control 10,000 skeletons.
Frank said: "You are the special advisor appointed by Dorotea, the Lord of Scorched Earth City. The Rock Wilderness is the jurisdiction of Scorched Earth City. As long as Lord Ultado is not independent, the undead in the Rock Wilderness belong to the Scorched Earth Undead. System.
This time you led the troops to fight under the orders of the Lord of Dorothea, occupied the red stone stronghold, and killed the defender of the red stone stronghold. Naturally, you have the power to collect the ownerless undead in the red stone stronghold. .”
After Frank's explanation, Helot understood instantly.
He remembered that when Dorothea gave him five vampire guards in the first place, they also did not use his command points. My relationship with the five vampire guards at that time was only the right to command, not ownership.
Now that I am the special affairs advisor appointed by Dorotea, I have a formal official position in Scorched Earth City, and naturally I have the power to collect the undead within the jurisdiction of Scorched Earth City. Likewise, there is only command power, no ownership, and no need to occupy one's own command points.
At this moment, Herot understood how powerful Dorothea was, and also understood why Dorothea wanted to fight for the Seventh Consul.
Rule the rotten wasteland, and all the ownerless undead can be recruited under your command with just one command.
The skeletons stuffed into the mines for mining must be low-level undead. It is worth a try to collect them under the banner of Dorothea!
So Helot led his subordinates to the exit of a mine.
There are ten mines in the red stone stronghold, and this is one of them. Broken bones have filled the mine, and the skeleton miners inside are struggling to squeeze out among the bones. More than a dozen vampires are guarding outside the cave. When they see skulls popping up, it's like whack-a-mole. Usually it's a heavy chop when it goes up.
An experience is received.
It’s just that Helot no longer looks down on this meager experience.
"Remove all the debris blocking the entrance of the cave and let the skeletons inside come out."
Frank, who followed Helot, waved his hand, and several azure mages stepped forward and faced the entrance of the mine together. Chant a mantra.
Clogged bones and debris float.
The skeleton miners, huddled together in the mine, rolled and rolled out.
The vampires rushed forward, grabbed the hands and feet of the skeleton miner with extraordinary skill, twisted them into the chest, and stuck them in the ribs.
A skeleton becomes a bone ball.
Some other vampires took these "bundled" skeletons to a cleared space, first arranged them neatly, and then stacked them layer by layer.
A pyramid was built out of skeletons!
Helot was shocked at this kind of operation... Do skeletons really have no human rights?
But I have to admit that the effect of this is really good. The skeleton without a command does not have much initiative in the first place, and after being restricted in its movements, it has no movement at all. It can only turn its head occasionally to look at its companions up, down, left, and right.
Other mines were also opened, and the vampires followed suit, and each skeleton pyramid was built up.
More than fifteen thousand skeleton miners were captured in this way.
Helot rode on the ghost horse and walked between the skeleton pyramids.
Howl followed him on a terrifying black spirit horse, carrying the head of a corpse witch on his saber.
Helot said loudly to the skeleton miners: "I am the special affairs consultant appointed by Dorothea, the lord of Scorched Earth City! This attack on the red stone stronghold is the lord of the city's attack on Ulta. Punishment for the behavior of multiple lords
Now that the guard of the Red Stone Stronghold has been beheaded, on behalf of the Lord of Dorothea City, I absolve you of the crimes you committed and recruit you to join the army directly under Scorched Earth City.
You humble people have no right to refuse!
Lower your heads and surrender to the Lord of Dorothea! ”
