Even if they couldn't tea outpace him, they could easily hide.
So her left I had hidden attributes after all.
Bayou had never realized, having only used it as a summoning skill.
The snow bore numerous disturbed patches, evidence that these intruders had arrived earlier and hauled away many werewolf corpses.
Someone beat me to it by you mused.
She questioned Little Ice, but the dragon had no recollection of them.
Most likely their castle lay beyond the mountains, yet still within sight of the battle at the peak.
By you couldn't te fathom why these corpses would be valuable to other lords.
If they had the strength to venture this deep into the mountains, surely they wouldn't be desperate for the meager resources the bodies could provide.
The werewolf corpses unearthed by those individuals have just been summoned by Bayou, who must now search through the area like the others.
Bayou chose to summon all the werewolf remains as bone beasts while the ordinary wolves were doubled in summoning to become other forms of the undead.
Shiao Bing, could you possibly clear away the snow on the ground? By recalled that Shiao Bing possessed the natural power of ice and snow.
This task should not pose much difficulty.
Shiao Bing lowered her head with a thunderous roar that reverberated through the air.
A fierce gale surged forth, swiftly dispersing all the snow on the ground and revealing the brown frozen earth beneath.
The bodies frozen and heavy began to emerge.
"Well done, Shiao Bing.
" At that moment, Arthur returned from his pursuit, having dispatched several figures along the way.
Concerned that he had strayed too far in the chase, he hurried back.
"Shia Bing, take a look around.
Arthur has returned, and he will protect me.
" Chapter 74.
The bounty of opportunity, little ice, took flight, soaring towards her nest.
Meanwhile, Bayou began to tally the bodies scattered across the ground.
The corpses of the werewolves were summoned using his left eye, while the ordinary wolf carcasses were summoned with a sythe, doubling the yield.
The werewolf bodies, frozen solid, would require a considerable amount of time to transport back for summoning.
Nonetheless, every little bit counts.
Moreover, they were deep within the snowy mountains where the terrain was treacherous and Bayou castle was still a great distance away.
He could hardly fathom how long it would take for the summoned army of the undead to return to the castle.
Bayou planned to summon a portion of these corpses here and then systematically dismantle them, as transporting the remaining bodies and resources back would be more manageable that way.
An hour and a half later, the other bone dragons and gargoyless arrived in succession, providing aid in the transportation of goods.
Bayou had nearly completed the summoning and disassembly of the corpses.
Besides the werewolf bodies, he discovered several peculiar stones, likely the remains of the stone demon giant that Little Ice had mentioned.
Aside from that, there was nothing else of note.
Little Ice returned only to find that everything in her nest had been taken by enemies, leaving nothing behind.
It was certain that her mother- body had been seized, and Bayu doubted that any of the holy court knights had survived such a fierce battle.
The absence of any human corpses indicated that these bodies had most likely been taken as well.
In any case, nothing of value remained.
Only these corpses, and even some of those have been stolen, approaching the body of the stone demon giant by you effortlessly dismantled it.
The remains transformed into a thousand units of stone and a glowing red core.
He picked up the core from the ground, dismissing the stones.
Transporting a pile of rocks back would only add to his troubles.
Bayou scanned the surroundings, searching for any additional stone demon giant corpses, but found nothing.
The bodies had been taken away by the previous lord, and this particular corpse had only escaped notice due to its concealment.
However, the number of stone demon giants was inherently limited, and the Lord had likely taken less than 10 cores.
Bayou felt no great loss over missing out on those few cores.
He merely hoped to assist him in departing this world when next they met.
As the clock struck 11:30 at night, Bayou completed the thorough inventory and disassembly of the corpses.
In total, there were 1,800 Howling Moon Silver Wolf corpses.
By you recalled that little green had mentioned the howling moon silver wolf tribe consisted of over 3,000 wolves, indicating that the lord had transported at least 1,500 wolf corpses before by arrival.
This suggested that the lord was not simply an early arrival.
His forces must have been considerable, all capable of flight, and he himself had reached a commanding level of power.
Undoubtedly a top tier leader of the first echelon in a magical continent so vast.
What were the odds of encountering such a being? Conversely, one must wonder, was it not equally true for him? Among the 1,800 corpses of the Howling Moon Silver Wolves, only 300 were in werewolf form, while the remaining 1,500 were mere ordinary wolves.
Of the 300 werewolf corpses, five belonged to the elite tier.
Yet, Byu only summoned one elite bone beast werewolf, while the other four were summoned from different undead.
The four elite beings consisted of a skeletal mage, two spirit lords, and a gargoyle.
The decomposition of the 300 werewolf corpses yielded 6,000 portions of elite sustenance, 500 magic crystals, and 160 spirit cores.
The remaining 1,500 corpses could summon 3,000 undead, allowing Byu's army of the undead to expand directly to 5,000.
Such aspirations were indeed splendid.
Yet the reality was far from it.
Summoning 1,500 corpses was a monumental task.
Bayou calculated that with her magic power at 120, each summoning consumed three points with a recovery rate of one point per minute.
Thus, it would take her 2 hours to summon 40 corpses and consequently 80 undead.
By you would need to summon continuously for over 3 days without rest to complete the summoning of all 1,500 corpses.
However, utilizing the scythe would double her magic power, meaning she could summon 80 corpses in 2 hours, thereby accelerating the process significantly.
Yet, summoning all before the impending beast tide remained unrealistic, as Bayou could not forego rest.
She felt a wave of despair.
The goal of summoning 3,000 undead from 1,500 ordinary wolf corpses was utterly unattainable.
Bayou first summoned the 300 werewolf corpses for she could employ the magic of her left eye without expending magic power.
As for the remaining 1,500 corpses, they could only be transported back to the castle for a gradual summoning.
Although the scythe could summon two at a time, it still consumed three points of magic power, which required time to recover, and it could only summon individually.
To expedite the summoning, Bayou contemplated throwing the corpses directly onto the Blackwater altar.
With time pressing, she realized that with only one day left before the beast tide, she could summon at most 400 corpses, equating to 800 undead.
While planning to cast the remaining 1,100 corpses directly onto the altar, summoning such a multitude with her left, I would likely render her unconscious.
Bayou expended her entire magic power to summon a portion, intending to continue the summoning slowly throughout the night.
She instructed the summoned undead to begin transporting the howling moon silver wolf corpses and rather than burden the freshly summoned army.
She directed them to return to the castle with all their might.
Fortunately, the number of gargoyles she had brought was ample, and with the help of the bone dragon, they could transport all the corpses at once.
Bayou commanded Arthur to escort from the rear while she took the lead, riding Little Ice back to the castle.
After 2 hours, Bayou finally soared out of the snowy mountains and returned to the castle.
The torturous night of action had finally come to an end.
It was now 2:00, and upon her return to the castle, her first task was to display the 10,000 pieces of equipment sent by Xiaoi and Shua.
Now, she only needed magic crystals to upgrade the barracks.
As the final day had commenced, Bayou intended to upgrade the barracks before proceeding with the summoning as he currently possessed a substantial number of undead, rendering the addition of 20 more unnecessary.
In the span of a day, even the most formidable of these 20 could not attain the rank of commander.
Bayou initiated the one-click reclamation of the resources amassed outside the gate, which have been scavenged from the werewolf castle.
Congratulations, Lord.
You have acquired four 0000 magic crystals, 5 0000 units of food, two 0000 units of stone, 80 spirit cores, and 200 pieces of animal pelts.
These materials were sourced from within the werewolf castle alongside the 10 0000 units of wood, 20 0000 units of stone, and five 000 iron ingots obtained from the disassembly of the werewolf castle's crystals.
This venture can be deemed a resounding success.
A veritable windfall indeed.
Chapter 75.
Resource allocation.
The army of the undead did not simply remain dormant within the castle.
Bayou had amassed two 800 units of timber and two 000 units of stone, all harvested by the undead in a single night.
As for the carcasses of the animals lying beside the castle gate, Bayou decided to postpone their disposal until the following morning when she would systematically decompose and reclaim them.
The hour was late and Bayou resolved to retire for the night.
Transporting the corpses of the howling silver wolves would require at least three more hours.
Should she wait that long, dawn would break before she could return.
