[Skeleton Spearman (Tier 1)]

[Faction: Undead]

[Racial Traits: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Light Weakness.]

[Skill: Spear Stab]

[Innate Abilities: Basic Combat Mastery, Basic Spear Mastery, Basic Shield Mastery.]

[Undead]: This type of soldier is already dead, hence they are void of morale, emotions, and immune to toxins, diseases, blindness, and mental magic.

[Hollow Skeleton]: Has no fatal weak points.

[Light Weakness]: Light magic deals an additional 20% damage to itself.

[Spear Stab]: (Requires a spear) Stabs at the target with a spear, dealing substantial damage.

(Note: Skeleton soldiers that have undergone preservation treatment and are armed with spears can confront any charging troops, ignoring all charge bonuses.)

From the exterior, the Skeleton Spearmen and Skeleton Infantry have not much difference.

But their properties have changed.

The innate ability of the Skeleton Infantry is Sword and Shield Mastery, meaning they are more familiar with the sword and shield.

On the other hand, the Skeleton Spearmen have switched to the combination of spear and shield, gaining attribute bonuses when armed with a spear and shield.

During the castle raid, the advantages of troop combination have already been demonstrated.

The Skeleton Infantry, relying solely on the sword and shield combination, was defenseless against the Bloodthirsty Wolfbats.

But with a slight change, swapping some of the infantrymen’s weapons for long spears and light crossbows, the situation on the battlefield transformed.

From being pressured, they started to pressure the Bloodthirsty Wolfbats, eventually killing them all.

It goes to say, the higher the tier of troops the better, but the combination of each troop type is equally crucial.

They can produce significant advantages and effects on the battlefield.

Next, Fang Hao conducted five more recruitments.

[One Hundred Times Amplification Triggered, successfully recruited Skeleton Spearmen*5O5.]

He crafted enough wood shields and iron spears to equip the 606 Skeleton Spearmen.

“All right, go patrol the surrounding areas. Hunt any beasts you encounter and bring them back.” Fang Hao commanded.

The Skeleton Spearmen turned around and left the territory.

Once all the skeletons had left,

Fang Hao reopened his Book of Lords. He had obtained several blueprints in the castle.

[Level 1 Wall Construction Blueprint: Wood 1200, Stone 500, Straw 300, Hemp Rope 800.]

Walls are of utmost importance to a city.

In two days, when the protective shield vanishes, it will be the last line of defense for the territory.

Therefore, the earlier and higher the walls are built, the better.

He chose to build it right away.

A square of light covered the territory and the next moment, a two-meter tall wooden fence was erected, protecting the territory.

Huh?

So a level 1 wall is made of wood.

It seems that in order to make the wall stronger, the level of the wall needs to be raised.

[Level 2 Wall: Wood 2400, Stone 1600, Straw 500, Hemp Rope 1600.]

The materials needed have doubled.

Thankfully, Fang Hao had many skeleton laborers. If he were an ordinary lord, he would have to save up resources for construction for a long time.

The level 2 wall was completed.

The wall was significantly thicker and taller, adding nearly 5 meters in height.

[Level 3 Wall: Wood 3600, Stone 3000, Straw 1000, Hemp Rope 2800.]

The materials for a level 3 wall have increased significantly.

The amount of wood and stone has risen by over a thousand units each. It’s simply terrifying.

Click to upgrade.

Five minutes later, construction of the level 3 wall was completed.

The wall stands about 5 meters high, with its material changed from solid wood to a mix of wood and stone.

The bottom three meters are made of stone, while the top is still constructed from stout logs.

Patrol and defense personnel can now be arranged on top of the wall.

After the construction was completed, Fang Hao continued to inspect the new architectural blueprints he had acquired.

[Guardian Watchtower]

[Category: Special Building]

(Description: The soldiers/heroes stationed in the Guardian Watchtower have their attributes increased by 2% and can sense all dangers within the guarded area.)

[Required Materials: Wood 500, Stone 300, Straw 120, Hemp Rope too.]

In Fang Hao’s view, the role of the Guardian Watchtower is more like a gatekeeper.

Or perhaps, a guardian deity of the gate.

It can protect a specific area, and the soldiers or heroes stationed there will have their attributes increased by 2%.

Although not high, all buildings can be upgraded.

When the building’s level is increased, the added attributes will naturally increase significantly.

After some thought, he decided to build the Guardian Watchtower in front of his Lord’s log house.

He was the only living person within his territory at the moment, and the skeleton soldiers didn’t need any special protection.

He was the one that needed the most protection.

Confirm construction.

The light appeared and a simple wooden watchtower emerged in the open space in front of the Lord’s log house.

[Please choose a building to guard, Level 3 Lord’s House/Level 3 Warehouse.]

The Guardian Watchtower automatically detects nearby buildings for it to choose to protect.

Choose, the Lord’s log house.

The Guardian Watchtower emitted light once again, enveloping the Lord’s log house with a ripple of light.

[Please select the troops to be stationed, 2 soldiers/1 hero.]

Skeleton Infantry.

The tier of the troops he had at hand were all tier 1.

Among infantrymen and spearmen, which one would be a better gatekeeper?

Obviously, the spear weapon of spearmen might not be suitable for deployment in this watchtower.

So he chose the Skeleton Infantry.

Two Skeleton Infantry quietly walked over and stationed themselves on both sides, guarding the Lord’s log house.

Fang Hao circled around the watchtower to inspect it.

It felt fairly good.

When the territory is further developed, the watchtower will be placed a bit to the side.

Next, he wanted to construct a Skeleton Conversion Field,

But his stomach released rumbling sounds of protest.

Looking at the sky, he found that it was nearing dusk.

The setting sun broke through the cracks in the clouds, spilling trails of rosy light.

It’s already this late.

He lit up a fire, sliced the meat from the warehouse.

The Spiritual Field had been built already, with skeletons assigned to watch over it every day.

In a few more days, he’d be able to eat vegetables. Eating meat every day was somewhat unbearable, especially without any seasonings, just plain meat.

While flipping the meat slices on the grill, he opened the regional channel to see people chatting.

“What weapons do your soldiers use? Today I trapped a Prairie Wolf in a trap, it took a long time and quite a bit of effort for me and my soldiers to kill it. Two of them even got injured.”

“Don’t even mention it, I’m worse off than you. I boiled a pot of mushroom soup, went out to use the bathroom, came back and found all my farmers lying on the ground, frothing at the mouth. I’m now acting like a nursemaid, following Dr Zhang’s instructions to detoxify them!”

Doctors here refer to a new type of vocation.

These people have some medical knowledge that ordinary people do not have.

When you encounter problems, you can pay resources to consult them, and they provide guidance based on their knowledge.

“I feel pity for the brother upstairs, haven’t had any mushrooms for a long time.”

“? Is that a lady on the floor above? Where’s your territory? Do you want to develop together?”

“Don’t listen to him, Miss. Let’s discuss the problem of enlarging mushrooms in private.”

“No more nonsense, I’m in urgent need of long spears and bows to kill the Warcraft in the water.. I’m willing to trade a hard wooden shield blueprint, only serious people welcome!”
