Chapter VI: Collecting the Body
Hearing the elf's words, Locke subconsciously glanced up at the sky in front of him - the crows in the sky were hovering in the distance, obscuring the sky and the sun, as if they were having a grand banquet.
"Yes, I'm going there." Locke replied indifferently.
The elf had said before that she would be able to see Locke's surroundings and talk to him after the castle was shrunk, so Locke was not surprised to hear the elf's voice.
"We're going to collect the bodies later—how can we get them into the city? Just touch it like you? ”
Hearing Locke say that there was a corpse to collect, the elf asked in surprise, "Corpse?" You mean the crows in front of you......"
As he walked, Locke looked up at the slowly setting sunset, and hurriedly accelerated to run, and replied:
"That's right, the group of third-order soldiers who came to our city before is actually a reconnaissance team, belonging to a human force called Bakmundi. I've used the Illusory Mirror to investigate outside the city, and there is a battlefield below the crows, but you have to hurry, once the beasts in the vicinity gather, it will be troublesome. ”
Earlier, Locke saw the emblem of Buckmondi on the battlefield, and at the same time there was another banner of the golden eagle with wings spread - the Duchy of Gila.
If I remember correctly, the war between the liberal humanist liberal Principality of Gila and the totalitarian Zhengjiao Empire, the Buckmundi Empire, opens the whole game, and the location is in the Fedes steppe.
If that's the case, it's easy! Because after the corpse is collected, the location of the energy available for ingestion is also clear!
"But master." After learning that there would be a large number of corpses to expand the inventory later, Anne was happy and faintly worried, "Even if we have some food reserves and guard forces, we don't have energy." ”
Without energy, not to mention that the skeletons can't be maintained, and even the warehouse can't function, and in the end, you can only watch the flesh rot and rot. I don't know if the ghouls mind, but the demons will definitely have an idea.
"How to get energy is where I'm going next, now I have to focus on the present." Locke, who understands the entire course of history and the geographical location, naturally knows where to go next after obtaining the corpse.
As he approached the battlefield, Locke looked to the right, and in the northern part of the grassland, the dense jungle began to increase, and inside, there was a place for wild players to replenish their energy and rest, although it was too dangerous, but at least it was better than nothing.
"As for the devil." Locke continued, "I want to wait, there are too few resources on hand to sustain bio-type units, so the city's guards are all skeletons or other undead for the time being. ”
These bone racks don't need to eat, as long as they have energy, they can be maintained, although they are a little brittle, but they are still very useful as servants or assistants or cannon fodder.
One thing to say is that although Locke's body is a demon, he can't eat human flesh, after all, he has human memories and consciousness, after this crisis, find a human village to buy some food - as for where the money comes from?
Locke stopped at a high uphill area, and as far as the eye could see, the vast land was filled with black smoke, the remnants of the flag were swaying, and a large number of crows flew low over the countless mottled corpses crisscrossed the ground, and the battlefield had arrived.
"When the corpse is put away, remember to list the bones, blood, flesh, equipment, and gold coins." Locke walked down slowly, and several crows around him were startled and flew to the heights.
"Oh." The elf replied.
"What am I going to do?" Locke asked, looking at the corpses around his feet.
"If you want to, you can put it away, like putting things in your pocket, you know?"
"Hmm......" Locke looked down at the corpse in front of him, his heart surged, and in an instant, the area around him with a radius of about 1 meter was all empty, but the blood had penetrated to the surface and could not be taken away.
"Oh, that's amazing." Locke smiled and sighed, "Did you get it?" ”
"Roger." Anne replied.
Locke nodded, took a few steps forward, and the corpses around him disappeared into thin air again, leaving a puddle of blood and flattened grass to indicate that there had been corpses on it.
After walking some distance, Locke looked back behind him, and in the vast pile of corpses, an empty path appeared, as if it had been scratched on a red piece of paper with white correction fluid.
"Huh."
Locke began to trot, faster and faster, and finally ran wildly, and the large flocks of crows in their way all rushed into the sky in shock, and they could only hover and scream as the evil humanoid monster on the ground scavenged over and over again for their 'food'.
In a short time, the corpses on the entire battlefield were more than half empty, and the crows were even more miserable.
"By the way, remember to classify, these are human flesh, and you will get all kinds of meat in the future, and there will be no more than just demons and undead units in the city."
"Oh." The elf agreed, then asked curiously, "You want other kinds of guards?" ”
"Well, the dark breed is too single, and it will be killed by the divine system. When I saw the demons in the war preparation hall, I knew that the previous lord had lost unjustly. If I were an intruder, it would only be a matter of time before I had the high-ranking bishops, holy warriors, and priests as the main force, the choir as the auxiliary, and the Holy Demon Hunter as the countermeasures. Therefore, it is imperative to develop other special troops, so that when fighting, they can play a complementary role according to the battlefield situation, which is why the food type must score well, after all, some sacred or elemental ones will not eat corpses. ”
"Oh......" said Anne, in a tone as if she were a scumbag, and it was better to give up thinking as if she had given up thinking, "as long as the master makes the right decision." ”
The elves are just managers, and they don't understand the concept of the castle's development, which has to be discussed with professionals.
Locke smiled and said nothing.
This time, more than 2,000 corpses were obtained, more than 5 tons of blood were extracted, more than 40 tons of iron metal, and the meat was about enough to supply 100 ghouls for about 3 months.
Then the next target, that's it.
Locke turned his head to look at the forest that glowed with a faint blue light in the distance, and it was there to maintain the necessary energy supply—the Lake of Magic. (To be continued)
