Not only do they obstruct the skeleton's work, but they may also launch an attack on him one day.

With the territo's defenses still intact, now is the optimal moment to eliminate this threat.

Everyone, arm yourselves and follow me.

Fongo bellows as he strides outward, flanked by over 900 skeletons, moving towards the direction of the fleeing wolves.

Chapter 4.

The skeleton soldiers traversed the lush verdant woods.

Ahead lay a sprawling meadow littered with the bleached bones of animals that had been picked clean.

Over 20 prairie wolves lay languidly on the grass, basking in the sun's warm embrace.

Among them, several bore conspicuous scars with fresh wounds staining the grass a dark crimson hue.

Behind the pack loomed a natural cave shrouded in shadow, obscuring what lay within.

Based on previous encounters in perilous caves, it was likely that more beasts resided inside, potentially a small boss.

Fongghao concealed himself in the underbrush, observing the wolf pack from a distance.

A sense of unshakable gravity weighed upon him.

Without his hundfold enhancement ability, he would be no different from any other lord.

Possessing merely five farmers.

Could he survive against these prairie wolves? It seemed exceedingly difficult indeed.

Surround them and then launch an attack, he instructed the skeletons.

Yet the skeletal army remained aloof, betraying no discernable expression or response.

"All right, then advance.

Eliminate them all.

Leave none behind," Fong House said resignedly with a rustling sound.

The skeleton army burst forth from the thicket, weapons raised high as they charged toward the wolf pack.

No tactical maneuvers were necessary.

The sheer number of skeletons formed a fan-shaped formation as they ran, encircling both the wolves and the cave.

The sudden emergence of the skeletal legion startled the wolves.

But there was no time for them to react before the clash ensued.

Despite their ferocity, the prairie wolves were vastly outnumbered, facing nearly a thousand skeletons.

They appeared remarkably feeble.

In a mere moment, they were engulfed by the tide of bones.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 prairie wolves lay slain by the frenzied onslaught.

From within the cave, a pair of emerald eyes illuminated the darkness, resembling flickering willow the wisps.

An exceptionally robust prairie wolf king emerged in fury, standing at the cave's entrance and unleashing a thunderous roar.

A w prairie wolf king second tier skills bite pounce.

However, the moment the wolf king beheld the throngs of skeletons before him, his roar was abruptly silenced.

The skeletons turned their heads in unison, fixating their gaze upon the wolf king.

In the next instant, they surged into the pitch black cave, followed by the sounds of battle and anguish cries.

Minutes later, the skeletons reemerged from the cave.

A few carried the corpse of the wolf king along with a wooden treasure chest.

With a thud, they unceremoniously dropped the chest at Fongo's feet.

Are you not foolish? you know, to bring the chest out and present it to me, a sign of some intelligence.

He mused, yet the skeletal carriers turned away, leaving him with nothing but their retreating backs.

Opening the chest, he discovered, "Reward: Level one barracks blueprint.

Ordinary wooden shield blueprint, white.

" The two blueprints transformed into beams of light, merging into the Lord's book.

Though scarce, they were still mere ordinary designs.

Yet Fong Ho could hardly conceal his inner delight.

The blueprint for the barracks had been acquired.

Once constructed, he would be able to recruit soldiers, thereby enhancing his security.

All right, gather the fallen tools and carry the wolf corpses.

Let us return to the territory, Fong How called out loudly.

The skeletons, pairing up, hoisted the wolf carcasses high and followed Fong How back to the domain.

Upon their return, the skeletons discarded the surplus tools into the storage and placed the wolf bodies on the open ground before turning back to their tasks.

Although the skeletons possessed limited intelligence, their diligence was commendable, they toiled without the need for sustenance.

Level one magical beast, Prairie Wolf 24.

Shall we proceed with the slaughter? Confirm slaughter.

Slaughter completed.

obtaining 9,600 units of meat, 480 hides, and 360 bones.

Level two magical beast, Prairie Wolf King.

Shall we proceed with the slaughter? Fongo continued to click confirm.

Slaughter completed, obtaining 800 units of meat, 50 hides, and 40 bones.

The remains piled upon the ground, transformed into beams of light, and ascended into the storage.

Within the warehouse, the quantity of meat surpassed that of other resources.

Even if one were to possess an insatiable appetite, such a surplus of meat was beyond consumption.

With the issue of the wolf corpses resolved, it was time to construct the barracks.

Level one barracks blueprint.

Burial ground required resources.

300 wood, 500 stone, 60 hemp rope.

The undead camp structures required minimal wood.

Those stone consumed a greater amount.

A suitable location was chosen and the barracks were constructed directly.

With a flash of light, the barracks of the burial ground were completed.

Level one burial ground.

Recruitable skeleton soldier.

Skeleton soldier 300 bones.

Note, this structure allows for the recruitment of the affiliated factions units.

Upgrading the building level unlocks new soldier types and higher tier units.

Materials required for upgrade: 500 wood, 720 stone, 80 leather, 240 hemp rope, five shadow stones.

The burial ground was larger than the underground cemetery.

The underground cemetery resembled a traditional graveyard, while the burial ground felt more akin to a mass grave.

The recruitment condition astonishingly required 300 bones.

Had it not been for the recent slaughter of the wolf pack, the bone count would indeed have been insufficient.

In the chat channel, others had acquired an item called soul crystal.

It was a rare item used for summoning units, serving a purpose similar to his bones.

Fong Hao promptly chose to recruit.

After all, it was inevitable he would summon them, and the sooner they emerged to work, the quicker his territory would flourish.

A 100fold amplification triggered, successfully recruiting 101 skeleton soldiers.

A robust skeleton emerged from the depths of the barracks as beams of light descended around him, signifying the remaining 100 augmented skeleton soldiers.

It possesses rudimentary combat ability, but remains fragile, struggling to withstand relentless assault from foes.
