My troops evolve infinitely

The giant black cocoon shattered with a bang, revealing the figure of the dead skeleton.

The Hero Baptism grants a sublime character, the opening of auras, and the awakening of talents, but it does not change the trial-taker's rank. But...

The appearance of the dead bones that returned at this moment still had some changes.

A cloak as black as ink hung down from outside its silver-white armor, fluttering in the wind. On its forehead bone was engraved a mysterious heroic mark, which shone brightly in the sunlight and gradually faded after a few seconds.

Dead Bones (Hero)

"Level: Zero Level 9"

「Strategic Skill: Death Legion」

"Hero Talent: Domination of the Undead"

「Number of Commands: 0/1000」

"Hero Aura: Attack Level 1, Defense Level 1, Movement Speed ​​+10%, Undead Troop Energy +10%."

-

"Death Legion: Absorbs the aura of death on the battlefield, summoning a large number of undead creatures, including but not limited to Skeletons, Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Warriors, Ghosts, Abominations, Vampires, Death Knights, and more, to snipe at the enemy. The number, rank, level, and duration of the summoned undead creatures are determined by the death aura on the battlefield and the caster's own strength. During the duration of this skill, the undead creatures' self-healing ability will be greatly enhanced. After the skill ends, a few low-level undead creatures can be transformed into soldiers, permanently existing."

"Note: This skill is a strategic skill. It takes a long time to activate and consumes a significant amount of energy. The user can use soul crystals to partially replace the energy consumed."

"Death Legion!"

Mu Yuan pondered, "Compared to the resurrected skeleton monsters, the Death Legion boasts a larger number, higher levels, and greater combat power. They also don't require the consumption of living skeletons, but they do cost more soul crystals."

This is natural!

What is strategic skill? A skill that can influence a war is called strategic skill! That's a battle involving thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers. He's currently leading his army to attack a goblin camp, which is at best a village fight, far from a war.

Mu Yuan had also heard of some strategic skills, such as Skyfire Meteor, Ghost Soldiers Passing Through, Brilliant Encouragement, Magnificent Heavenly Soldiers, etc., all of which were magical skills.

"Strategic skills aren't usually used, but with this move, General Bone has it. Even though its level is too low to exert much power, it's still an undeniable trump card, giving him a bit more confidence in facing the Lord's Trial."

And the hero talent...

"Undead Command: The destructive power of Undead creatures under the control of the Skeleton is slightly increased, their energy limit is slightly increased, and their energy recovery speed is moderately increased. Furthermore, the Skeleton can borrow a certain amount of energy from the Undead troops and creatures under its control, converging it within itself. The maximum effect depends on the number of Undead within the control range and the user's carrying capacity."

And these two abilities are obviously quite compatible.

Mu Yuan's eyes lit up.

He speculated, "What the forum boss said is correct. The second level of baptism can learn strategic skills, and the third level can awaken heroic talents. So... what about the fourth level of baptism? What is the additional gift from heaven and earth?"

At this moment, the skull of the dead bone was still drooping, and the pupils did not light up with a faint blue light, as if it had not woken up yet.

Its main weapon, the Greatsword of the Dead, is carried on its back, but its hands are stretched forward, as if holding the sword in a virtual manner.

next moment,

Strands of faint light burst out from the palm of the Dead Bone's hand, interweaving and outlining, as if containing the most mysterious and profound rules between heaven and earth.

In just a moment, a dark silver sword that was somewhat similar to the Dead Man's Greatsword appeared in the hands of the Dead Man.

The sides of the blade are pitch black, with a slightly silvery-white color in the middle. A majestic skull is embedded in the end of the hilt. At the connection between the hilt and the blade, there is a black and purple gem embedded. It seems to contain extremely powerful power, which is continuously transmitted and spread to the entire giant sword.

"Ding!"

"Hint: The fallen hero's bones received a gift from heaven and earth, forging a weapon that suits him, 'Death's Lament'."

-

Death Lament

「Category: Special Hero Weapon」

"Abilities: Contains properties such as advanced sharpness, advanced toughness, life drain, and self-repair, and can slightly enhance the holder's strength, energy, and spirit. Death's Lament can also absorb the aura of death in the surrounding area, temporarily strengthening the holder's three dimensions. After the strengthening ends, the holder's three dimensions will also receive a slight permanent boost. Death's Lament also has the ability to store large amounts of death aura."

"Note: This equipment is compatible with the Heroic Skeleton. If possessed by any creature other than the Skeleton, including undead creatures, they will continuously drain its vitality and even its soul."

……

The baptism finally ended, and the dead skeleton slowly woke up - a faint blue light appeared in its empty eye sockets.

"The bones are worthy of trust."

If I don't get a perfect evaluation, I will be ashamed of the lord's cultivation.

At the same time, it was also a little excited. After being refined by the hero, it seemed that it could regain its steady glory - standing at the forefront and killing the enemies in the territory... Otherwise, it would be worried about relying on Dolai to deal with powerful enemies.

After acquiring the new ability, Wang Gu immediately went out to test it out.

This time it has obtained four upgrades - hero aura, strategic skills, hero talents, and compatible weapons. The only one that can truly significantly improve its own combat power is the exclusive weapon.

It found a lucky gray wolf, immobilized it with the oppression of death, and then lightly slashed it with the giant sword in its hand.

No blood flowed out, and the wound turned gray in an instant. Then the whole wolf became emaciated, as if only skin and bones were left, and fell to the ground.

"My goodness, this is too cruel."

Lord Mu, who was watching the whole process, sucked in his cold noodles, but then he thought about it and said, "It's okay, continue to be brutal, as brutal as possible."

"Two strategic capabilities and a specialized weapon complement each other. Judging from these descriptions, the Dead Bones are well-suited for large-scale combat."

Of course, all heroes are generals and commanders, and their job is to command the troops in battle, but Wang Gu is just better at it.

Under its command, not only did the undead army become stronger, but it itself was able to leverage the power of its subordinates and battlefield advantages to unleash extremely terrifying power.

This is the remains of a hero.

Skeletons up to Apprentice Level 9.

Chapter 73 Wraith Spirit

Compared with the improvement of the personal strength of the dead bones, the identity of a hero is actually more important.

"Not only can heroes purify the roots of filth on behalf of their lords and command their armies, they can also maintain real-time communication with their lords and serve as a fulcrum to extend certain aspects of their lords' power. Furthermore, heroes can handle numerous special matters on their lords' behalf, such as constructing wonder buildings, recruiting soldiers, recruiting refugees, setting territorial regulations, and so on..."

"Oh wait, I don't think I'm an official lord yet, so I don't need any of the above functions? Forget it, I'll skip this."

……

The promotion of the Bone to hero marks a new step for the territory, but the daily affairs of the territory remain the same.

——Explore, defeat enemies, collect loot, sell loot, buy souls, and practice.

That's all.

If we have to say what has changed, it is that after Wanggu incorporated all the soldiers into the corps, the combat effectiveness of the arms has become stronger.

This is the power of the hero's halo.

As long as they are incorporated into the army corps under the command of the Undead, the soldiers can basically enjoy the aura gain. Even non-undead soldiers such as Dolai, Lu Liu and Shiqi can enjoy the basic attack, defense and movement speed enhancement.

Mu Yuan tried it out. After the level 1 little skeleton was amplified, the rusty machete became sharper invisibly, and its loose bones became hard. The gray wolf couldn't even bite it off without exerting force.

Even Mu Yuan incorporated himself into the Corps of the Dead to enjoy the benefits of the halo.

"Today is the 21st day since I qualified for the game. In about four and a half days, I will face the biggest challenge, the Lord Trial."

Time is running out.

Every new lord was putting in their best effort, and the forums offered the latest achievements of many well-known newcomers. Some were self-proclaimed, some were praised by friends, and many were run by business teams, hoping to expand their reputation and prepare for the upcoming territory management.

"Boss October has already trained three ninth-level soldiers and is preparing to sprint to the professional level!"

"The latest battle report shows that the man who made 1 billion overnight has entered the sixth level of the challenge secret realm. He is definitely a strong candidate to impact the trial leaderboard this time."

"Boss Hongyu has already entered the sixth level. Isn't he way ahead of me?"

"Our Southern Region's Big Brother Liu Miumiao is the strongest newcomer. Rumor has it that Big Brother Liu Miumiao has even unlocked the entire Challenge Secret Realm!"

"Stop bragging! Can you even clear the Challenge Realm? The sixth level is clearly an endless mode!"

"The above has some knowledge but not much. Newcomers can indeed open the secret realm by challenging it."

As time goes by, more and more new people discover and defeat the guardian monsters and enter the secret realm to challenge it, and the waiting area of ​​the secret realm becomes a little lively.

But Lord Mu never went there again.

Gradually, players from all over the world began to use their achievements in challenging secret realms as a metric to list the top newcomers of the year.

Of course, this only applies to newcomers whose battle records have been announced and confirmed by the audience. There are still many top second-generations who do not care about the opinions of the outside world, and there are no outsiders watching during the challenges. They are quietly improving their strength and preparing for the upcoming Lord Trial.

The forum was bustling with activity, but the excitement was all for the spectators. The new lords didn't have much time or energy to join in the fun, and they were becoming increasingly nervous and stressed.

The strong ones must compete for the top spot.

The weak are afraid of losing their lives.

Because there was an accident in this issue.

Even the kryptonians and second-generation players felt pressured to continue investing more resources to train professional-level soldiers before the trials began. This was not only to compete for the rankings, but also to save their lives.

"After all, there was an accident this time, and the red mist is an ominous sign."

"In previous years, a group of level eight or nine three-star main forces, protected by a few arrow towers and sentry towers, were enough to withstand the Lord Trial, but who can say for sure this year?"

The second generation feels pressured, and so does Mu Yuan.

He is indeed a little bit stronger than other newcomers, but accidents are everywhere in the eternal world. Even great lords may fall, let alone a small shrimp like him?

Mu·Newbie·Yuan looked at his own professional-level Dolai, heroic skeletons, and dozens or hundreds of rare-level troops and couldn't help but sigh.

He went out and went to the association to pick up some of the residual souls and props that were purchased online and then mailed to the Baijiang Association.

These days, as the territory's strength has grown, the two exploration teams have been killing people indiscriminately, and their profits have also increased.

Even without conquering special areas like the Filthy Lands and Monster Camps, he still earned 2-3 Soul Crystals a day. After deducting the costs of training his troops and maintaining his territory, he spent the rest on shopping, becoming a kryptonian.

As monsters around the territory become scarce, daily income will begin to decline after reaching its peak. Slaying monsters to earn soul sand is ultimately not a long-term solution; managing the territory and making money without doing anything is the right approach.

But at least for now, the benefits of encircling and suppressing monsters are very high.

After returning home and sacrificing a large amount of soul sand taxes, Mu Yuan sent all the dozens of residual souls into the territory.

He opened the panel.

Skeleton series: 220.

Slime type: 100.

Wandering Soul Series: 80.
