Chapter 45: Preparation
When he came back from the Hades Palace, Liu Zhi was already followed by several skeletons, all of which were newly recruited skeleton soldiers by Liu Zhi, two of whom had mastered the existence of [Z Character Secret Sword] and [Indigo Wind Chasing Sword Technique].
They were specially brought out by Liu Zhi, in order to let the corpse soul Naga see if they had room to grow in swordsmanship.
The rest were ordinary skeleton soldiers, but all the weapons in their hands had been thrown away, and Ryuji planned to rebuild new weapons for them, as the old days of using other people's bones and clubs as weapons were over.
Ryuji brought them out to not only change their clothes, but also to try out his magic power, how to consume it every day.
Compared to the Corpse Soul Naga, who consumes at least 5 mana points per day, the consumption of skeleton soldiers is much less.
Skeleton soldiers entering and leaving the Hades Palace are the same as the Corpse Soul Naga, they are all 1 point of mana, but after being placed in the real world, the skeleton soldiers only need to consume 1 point of mana every day to maintain it, and they don't need to enter the Hades Palace from time to time to replenish the yin qi or something.
In this way, Ryuji now has a total of 66 mana points, which are automatically replenished after meditating every day.
At the same time, he needs to inject 30 points of mana into the palace at 12 o'clock every day, leaving at least 5 points of mana for the corpse soul Naga to spare.
With 10 more mana points left to deal with other troubles, in this way, if Ryuji didn't plan to send the skeleton soldiers back to the Hades, he could have a total of 21 skeleton troops at the same time.
"If you have the right weapons, this is enough for one army, but if you want to strengthen these skeletons, the magic is still a little insufficient."
Ryuji, who had made a judgment, couldn't help but have a headache.
At this time, he understood that he was only half-baked as a necromancer, and there were too many things that he didn't have time to learn, such as meditation to improve his magic power, and he couldn't meditate hard every day, at most, it could only be used to replenish his magic power.
He didn't have a grasp of the most basic Skeleton Soldier enhancements, and he didn't know how to make the bones of the Skeleton Soldiers harder.
I haven't mastered how to make the skeleton soldiers more flexible, and it can be said that these skeleton soldiers in his hands now are not much different from ordinary people in terms of combat power.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Zhi is reluctant to go all out to develop these skeleton soldiers, and does not arrange a [Z-character secret sword] or [indigo wind chasing sword technique] for each skeleton soldier.
Although the experience consumed is not too big, each skeleton soldier is only about 300 points, but this is also experience, Liu Zhi's experience is fought back with the lives of a fishman, and he doesn't want to consume all of them on skeleton soldiers at once.
In the absence of an orthodox way of fortification, Ryuji began to use some of his own ways of dealing with skeleton soldiers.
He brought vines from nearby, dried them, tore them apart, and wrapped them around the skeletons' bones.
At the same time, he began to craft various weapons for skeleton soldiers.
As he thought, the Skeleton Soldier was a good choice to use a spear, and Ryuji made a chain hammer for the Skeleton Soldier out of large blocks of stone and vines.
This stone chain hammer, which is only about ten catties, can be used for smashing or throwing, and it is the best weapon for skeleton soldiers who are not very afraid of spear piercing control.
These weapons Liu Zhi has taken to the Hades Palace to try, and most of the skeletons will be shattered as long as they are smashed, and they will not wait for the second hit at all, so Liu Zhi believes that even if he meets a real person, as long as he has such a weapon, he still has a chance to win.
While Ryuji was strengthening his troops, the corpse soul Naga also roamed the interior of the Golden City.
With the protection of the skeleton soldiers by her side, the corpse soul Naga has more time to spare, and Ryuji sends her out to find enemies that may be hiding near the Golden City.
At the very least, Ryuji needed to know where the enemy was coming from and how they got through the serpents guarding outside.
Corpse Soul Naga is also a bit capable, after killing the eagle on the tenth day, she finally finished the entire Golden City circle, and came to a conclusion that the enemy has appeared on the nearby cliffs, but they will not come down from the cliffs, because it is quite high, and if one is not careful, it will be a dead end, and they will still come in from the underground river against the river like Ryuji.
It's just that they need to lure all the serpents out, and then take the opportunity to send people in.
Regarding the judgment of the corpse soul Naga, Ryuji is also willing to believe.
If the enemy is all going up the river from the river, then the timing they choose is very important.
At least they can't come after the rainstorm every day, that's when the giant snake eats.
Whoever appears in the river will only be able to become food for the serpent.
So plus there was a long way to go, so the time they could lure the serpent out could only be in the afternoon, when they moved cautiously, and at their speed, the time to reach the Golden City should be early in the morning.
After making the corresponding judgment, Ryuji acted quickly.
Now he is no longer alone, he directly arranged a few skeleton soldiers by the river to keep an eye on them.
Every day, the giant snake doesn't care about it, and if there are humans going up the river, they will send a signal to kill them.
In order to ensure that he would be a head attack on the enemy, Liu Zhi simply arranged the skeleton soldier who could use the [Indigo Wind Chasing Sword Technique] here.
At the same time, Yanagi's Hades is also training a large number of skeleton soldiers.
When it's time to fight, you can force it to be placed on the enemy's team.
However, the number of skeleton soldiers produced by the mass grave every week is not very large, only 5 to 7 at a time, and the other skeletons do not meet the standard of skeleton soldiers, or they are simply the kind of bone creepers who only have their upper bodies and can only crawl on the ground.
Therefore, the skeleton soldiers that Liu Zhi can use now are not fully formed, and he hopes that the slower the enemy comes, the better, and the slower the enemy comes, the more time he has to prepare.
But by this time, the snake tribesmen had gathered outside the river.
They are a tribe that has been fighting with the giant snake since childhood, and they know quite well about the habits of the giant snake, and they have followed them all the way, and they have already planned how to lure the giant snake away and how to sneak into the golden city.
At this time, they were the first team to enter the pathfinder and assassination, and the people of the Serpent Raid tribe did not wait for the arrival of the other tribes to prepare for their own actions.
The black-skinned natives, painted white, stood by the river and waited quietly, until they saw the serpents being lured out by the vibrations on the water's surface, and then they jumped into the water with their weapons on their backs, and slowly went against the current.
