Chapter 574: Chapter 450, Blackstone Tribe_1
Outside, the rain was still falling. Even for the undead army, marching under such weather was difficult.
However, the Blackstone Tribe was ready to attack.
They didn’t have much time.
The Webweaver Camp and the Mithril Mine could not afford any mishaps, so even in the pouring rain, the army had to be deployed to the Webweaver Camp.
Fortunately, the skeleton army didn’t have to worry about getting a cold, which was somewhat of an advantage.
Two heroes took their orders and marched out of the Lord’s Manor.
Fang Hao continued to give orders, “Meatfist, along with all of the Nisbits, prepare yourselves. Once I’ve recruited the forces, we will immediately set out for the Webweaver Camp via Bronze Bull City.”
“Yes, my lord,” Meatfist and a group of Nisbits immediately responded.
As for the other heroes,
Since they were living units, they would not only slow down the speed of the army but also risk getting sick in the rainy weather. It would be easier for Fang Hao to join them via the transfer screen after the army arrived.
This would avoid a lot of trouble.
As for Nelson and Black Thorn,
Fang Hao planned to have them stationed in the main city and, in passing, let Nelson rest for a few days.
After this battle, the hero corpses they would obtain would need Nelson to transform into skeleton heroes.
All tasks were distributed.
After everyone agreed without objection, they dispersed to attend to their tasks.
…
Fang Hao had a bowl of soup prepared by Eira, put on his raincoat and stepped out again.
The raindrops beat down on his body, heavy like falling stones.
Thud, thud, thud!!
Before he could go far, sounds of footsteps stepping on the rain-soaked ground came from behind.
Anjia came running up to him and draped her arm around his shoulder, “I’ll protect you.”
“What’s there to protect in the city?”
“You never know. The rain is so heavy, one might slip and break an arm or leg, or maybe fall into a puddle and drown. If anything happens, I can save you,” Anjia stated.
“Thanks for your concern, but I’m starting to get scared the more you talk,” Fang Hao said, feeling speechless.
The two quickened their pace to the barracks, where Fang Hao planned to recruit troops.
The forces stationed in the main city totalled 750,000.
He didn’t plan to move these soldiers. After all, he was being targeted by the God of Light. If anything happened, these forces would need to protect the main city.
Therefore, the troops to be dispatched to the Webweaver Camp
needed to be newly recruited.
Thankfully, the accumulation over time of the Wriggling Spine in the warehouse had reached a staggering level.
More than 270,000.
This number was frightening. Under his hundredfold boost, the force had become astronomical.
They could probably sweep across any force; it would not be a problem.
Of course, there was danger if the enemy had quasi-gods or higher. A single skill from them could wipe out a large number of troops.
First, he came to the Skeleton Conversion Field to recruit converted troop types.
Currently, the Skeleton Conversion Field had unlocked: Skeleton Beast (Tier 1), Skeleton Soldier (Tier 1), Skeleton Wolf (Tier 2), Skeleton Ostrich Beast (Tier 2), Skeleton Warrior (Tier 3), Skeleton Giant Bat (Tier 3), Skeleton Ghoul (Tier 3), Skeleton Bat Knight (Tier 5), Skeleton Troll (Tier 5), Skeleton Pseudo-Dragon Guard (Tier 6), Skeleton Troll Cyclops (Tier 7), Skeleton Mantis Man (Tier 8), Undead Centipede (Tier 9), and Bone Dragon (Tier 10).
Recently, Fang Hao hasn’t explored the map much and hasn’t unlocked any new troop types.
Knowing that there were Dragons among the enemy, Fang Hao first looked at the flying troops.
For aerial units, he felt the tier 3 Skeleton Giant Bat was very useful. The swarm tactics were hard for the enemy to defend against.
Also, the tier 5 Skeleton Bat Knight, unlocked today, was not bad.
Contrarily, the Skeleton Pseudo-Dragon Guard and Bone Dragon, although powerful, required Dragon Crystals for recruitment, which Fang Hao didn’t have at the moment.
After giving it some thought, he first recruited those two types of flying units.
Skeleton Giant Bat: 3 Wriggling Spines, 1 Blood Stone.
Skeleton Bat Knight: 5 Wriggling Spines, 2 Beast Teeth, 1 Death Trace.
Confirm recruitment.
One hundred fold amplification triggered, 101,000 Skeleton Giant Bats recruited.
One hundred fold amplification triggered, Skeleton 1,010 Bat Knights recruited.
Since the Death Trace was also considered a rare material, Fang Hao had only recruited 1,000 Skeleton Bat Knights.
From thin air, a large group of aerial units materialized.
The image of a Skeleton Bat Knight was an Orc riding on the back of a giant flying creature. Although named a Bat Knight, the flying creature appeared more similar to a Winged Dragon.
“All of you, wait outside the East City.”
Whoosh!
All the flying units changed direction and flew towards the city outskirts.
With the troops leaving, Fang Hao began to check the attributes of the new troop type.
