Chapter 4, The Skeleton Pawn
Walk through the lush woods.
Ahead was a flat grassland, littered with the dry bones of gnawed animals.
More than 20 steppe wolves were lazily lying on the grass, basking in the sun.
Several of them had visible scars, wounds that had not yet dried, staining the grass a dark red.
And behind the wolves is a natural cave.
The cave was so dark that I couldn't see clearly.
According to the previous experience of the tiger's den, there should be a beast in it, and it may be a small boss.
Fang Hao hid in the bushes and watched the wolves from a distance.
But there is an indescribable solemnity in my heart, if I don't have the ability to increase by a hundredfold.
Like the other lords, there were only five peasants.
Can you survive in the face of these steppe wolves?
It's hard, I'm afraid.
"Surround it, and then attack together." Speaking to the skeletons.
But the army of skeletons remained cold, unable to see any expression, nor did they respond.
"Okay, go on, kill them all, and leave no one behind." Fang Hao said helplessly.
Crash!
The army of skeletons scrambled out of the bushes, weapons in hand and running towards the wolves.
There was no need for any tactical arrangement, the skeleton army was so numerous that it had formed a fan in the middle of the run, enclosing the wolves and the cave.
The skeleton army that suddenly came out also startled the wolves.
But it didn't give the wolves a chance to react.
They have already fought together.
Steppe wolves, no matter how ferocious, are too scarce in numbers.
In the face of nearly a thousand skeletons, it is extremely vulnerable.
One shot at the face, and it was submerged in the Sea of Skulls.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 steppe wolves had been hacked to death with random axes.
And inside the cave, a pair of dark green eyes lit up, like a beating ghost fire.
An unusually strong steppe wolf king walked out angrily.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, let out an earth-shattering roar.
Whew-whew!!
【Steppe Wolf King (2nd Order)】
[Skill: Biting, pounce. 】
But the next moment, when he saw the dense army of skeletons in front of the cave, the roaring stopped abruptly.
Gaba, Gaba!
The skeletons turned their heads and looked at the wolf king in unison.
In the next second, they all poured into the dark cave, and there was another sound of fighting and wailing.
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 wood-colored treasure chest.
Bang!
With a dull sound, he threw the treasure chest directly in front of Fang Hao.
"Aren't you stupid too!"
Knowing that moving the treasure chest out and sending it to Fang Hao looked like he was still a little wise.
But a few skeletons that carried treasure chests turned around and left, leaving him with the back of his head.
Open the chest.
[Obtained: Level 1 Barracks Blueprint, Normal Wooden Shield Blueprint (White).] 】
The two drawings turned into a ray of light and burrowed into the Book of Lords.
Although there are very few, they are all ordinary drawings.
But Fang Hao still couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
The barracks drawings are out, and as long as they are built, soldiers can be recruited.
Thus increasing their own security.
"Okay, take all the tools that have fallen, and carry all these 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 the territory.
The skeletons threw their surplus tools into the warehouse, and the wolf corpses were placed in the clearing.
He turned around and went out to work again.
Although the skeletons are not very intelligent, they are diligent and only work, and they do not eat or drink.
[First-Order Warcraft Steppe Wolf *24, slaughter or not!] 】
Confirm slaughter!
[After the slaughter is completed, 9600 meat, 480 hides, and 360 bones are obtained.] 】
[Second-order Warcraft Steppe Wolf King, whether to slaughter or not! ] 】
Fang Hao continued to click to confirm.
[After the slaughter is completed, you will get 800 meat, 50 hides, and 40 bones.] 】
The slaughter was completed, and the corpses piled up in the open space turned into light and flew into the warehouse.
In the warehouse, the amount of meat stored exceeds that of several other resources.
Even if I could, I wouldn't be able to eat so much meat.
The solution to the problem of wolf corpses is to build a barracks.
[Level 1 Barracks Drawings (Bone Ground): Required resources, 300 wood, 500 stones, 60 hemp rope. 】
The undead camp building does not consume much wood.
The consumption of stone is a little more.
A location is selected.
Direct construction of barracks.
The light flickered, and the barracks had been built.
【First-class burial ground】
[Recruitable: Skeleton Pawn]
[Skeleton Soldier: 300 white bones.] 】
(Note: Faction classes can be recruited in this building, and increasing the building level unlocks new soldier types and higher class levels.) )
[Materials required for upgrade: 500 wood, 720 stone, 80 leather, 240 twine, 5 shadow stone.] 】
The burial ground is larger than that of the underground cemetery.
Catacombs, like cemeteries.
The burial ground is more like a group burial post.
The recruitment conditions actually require 300 animal bones.
If you hadn't just killed the wolves, the number of bones would not be enough.
Similarly, there are people in the channel who have been given a prop called 'Soul Crystal'.
It's hard to obtain, and it's a summoning item.
It has the same effect as its own white bones.
Recruitment was selected directly.
Anyway, sooner or later, you have to recruit it, and if you come out early and work early, you can develop your territory faster.
[100-fold amplification triggered, successfully recruiting skeleton soldiers 101.] 】
A burly skeleton crawled out from under the barracks.
At the same time, Dao light fell on all sides, and it was the remaining 100 skeleton soldiers who had increased it.
【Skeleton Soldier (1st Order)】
【Faction: Undead】
[Racial characteristics: undead, hollow skeleton, light weakness.] 】
【Skill: Shield Strike】
[Intrinsic ability: Elementary combat mastery, primary swordsmanship mastery, primary shield mastery. 】
[Undead]: This class is already dead, unable to possess morale, emotion, and immunity to toxins, disease, blindness, and mental magic.
[Hollow Skeleton]: No Achilles heel.
[Light Weakness]: Light magic has a 20% damage bonus to itself.
[Shield Strike] :(equipped shield) slams the enemy with the shield, dealing blunt damage and having a chance to stun the target.
(Note: Skeletons with their jagged bony arms held high, they are beginning to fight, but they are still fragile and unable to withstand the constant onslaught of the enemy.) )
……
The skeleton pawn is slightly taller than the labor skeleton, and is not completely bare with white bones.
Instead, there was a torn cloth shirt hanging on his upper body, and the breeze blew like a pile of mop strips, dancing with the wind.
Let's be honest.
The newly added combat class did not bring too many surprises to Fang Hao.
The first three abilities are the same as the Labor Skeleton, with an additional shield skill at the end.
You also need to equip a shield to be effective.
By the way, the weapon blueprint I got today is a shield.
Immediately open the Forge page of the Book of Lieges.
[Wooden shield: 3 wood, 2 hemp rope. 】
Fabricate!
[100x Trigger, Successfully crafted Wooden Shield*101.] 】
A pile of wooden shields immediately appeared beside him.
"Alright, everyone pick up the wooden shields and stone axes." Fang Hao shouted.
The skeleton soldiers stepped forward, each with their equipment in their hands.
"Your mission is to patrol the vicinity of your territory, protect the labor skeletons from their jobs, and then collect prey." Fang Hao pointed.
When the skeleton soldier received the order, he also turned and left.
The territory is still in the newbie protection stage.
As long as you are in your territory, you will not be attacked by any beasts or enemies.
So, as long as you get up, there will be no danger.
On the contrary, the labor skeletons need a certain amount of protection from wild beast attacks.
Interfere with normal work.
After explaining everything, it was getting late.
The rumbling of his stomach reminded him that he was still a human being.
I haven't eaten for a day.
There are flint and steel in the lord's cabin.
A bonfire is lit, the meat is chopped into pieces with a stone axe, skewered with sticks, and roasted on the fire.
Immediately, the aroma of grilled meat is revealed.
While waiting for the barbecue to be fully cooked, I opened the chat channel boringly.
Without a mobile phone, this is the only pastime.
"Whoever has food, I'm hungry and weak, I beg you, give me something to eat."
"I'm so hungry, and I don't dare to go out, who can save me."
"Whoever has a way to go back, 5 million, can go back and transfer it to you immediately."
"Wake upstairs and accept reality sooner!"
"Materials for food, the loyalty of the peasants has dropped to a low level, if I don't give food, I am afraid that they will eat me, whoever has food, materials for food."
"Seeking food online, I am the school flower of the film school."
……
Well?
Can you still exchange supplies?
The food behind him is really a bit excessive.
Instead of waiting for it to rot, you can change it to some food that you need.
Do what you think.
After researching it, I found out how to exchange items in the Book of Lords.
【Trader: Fang Hao】
[Registered item: Meat]
[Quantity: 1000 units.] 】
[1 unit required: 50 units of wood, 40 units of stone, 5 units of iron ore (any kind).] 】
(Note: If you have special items, you can increase the amount of food in private chat.) )
……
As soon as the information was released, the chat channel exploded in an instant.
"I'm grass, someone has put meat on the shelf, it's still 1,000 units."
"The big guy is awesome...... is there a lack of pendants on the big guy's legs?"
"Fang Hao? Is it the first to upgrade the main city that Fang Hao big guy, I'll go, it's really ....... ”
"Damn, Fang Hao's big guy Tianhu started the game."
"It's too dark, one unit of meat, you need so many supplies, are you still human?"
"Big guy, I have a gold tooth, is it a special resource, if you want it, I'll break it off and send it to you immediately."
"There are yellow-toothed smoked mosquitoes upstairs, you, big guy Fang Hao, I have a gold chain here, and I will exchange two units of food with you."
"Keep your gold chain and hang yourself!"
