"Lord, this is it."
On a hillside, a slender high-tier water elemental pointed at a gloomy altar.
"Though it looks undefended, the enemy hides Voldemort."
"When we tested earlier, over a hundred elite skeleton warriors immediately emerged."
"Besides them, there should be hidden skeleton archers—quantity unknown."
Su Wu nodded. "Understood."
Over a hundred elite skeleton warriors plus unknown skeleton archers
is indeed a tough challenge for level 1 high-tier water elementals.
Lord-tier minions haven't yet achieved qualitative leaps that ignore quantity.
"Cang Yue, avoid the minion building."
"Mm." Cang Yue nodded, raising her right hand while standing still.
At this range, all enemies are within her immediate kill range.
Boom~ boom~ boom~
The ground trembled continuously; cracks appeared.
Crunch ~ crunch ~ crunch ~
Skeletons burst from the cracks, collapsing as they hit the ground.
After preparations, Cang Yue's aura surged.
The nearby high-tier water elemental bowed its head instinctively, gazing at the ground.
Below the hill where Su Wu stood appeared a massive pit.
Inside coiled a huge ice vine, suspending immobile skeletons.
Cang Yue controlled ice butterflies to recover dropped Energy Stones, reporting to Su Wu: "All cleared."
"Well done."
Praising Cang Yue's efficiency, Su Wu collected the Energy Stones and led everyone to the eerie altar.
[Undead Altar]
[Level: 2]
[Option 1: Recruit 30 normal-quality undead per day, each costing 15 energy.]
[Option 2: Recruit 10 elite-quality undead per day, each costing 40 energy.]
[Durability: 10,000 / 10,000]
[Note: Corpses can be placed on the altar to convert into undead, occupying recruitment slots; conversion consumes 50% energy compared to recruitment.]
[Upgrade requirements: 15,000 energy, Level 2 Lord's Heart.]
[Holy Choice triggered successfully.]
[Option 1, 18 seconds: consume all normal-quality slots to recruit 15 rare elite skeleton warriors.]
[Option 2, 29 seconds: consume all normal-quality slots to recruit 18 rare skeleton mages.]
[Option 3, 42 seconds: consume all elite-quality slots to recruit 10 Lord-tier skeleton knights.]
...
After briefly scanning options, Su Wu's expectations held true.
The best result was only 10 Lord-tier undead.
After wavering between heavy armored skeleton warriors and skeleton knights, Su Wu chose the skeleton knights.
Compared to heavy armored skeleton warriors, skeleton knights have higher mobility.
For the time-pressed Su Wu, this was obviously the best choice.
Timing perfectly, Su Wu skillfully completed the recruitment.
Buzz~!
A pale blue vortex appeared on the Undead Altar.
With rhythmic footsteps, skeleton knights on skeletal steeds emerged.
[Recruitment complete, congratulations on acquiring 10 Lord-tier skeleton knights.]
[Skeleton Knight]
[Tier: Lord]
[Level: 1]
[Class: Knight]
[Constitution: 70]
[Spirit: 20]
[Talent: Modification (c): can repair damaged parts with suitable bones or strengthen bone density.]
[Loyalty: 60 points.]
[Skills: Charge, Bonded Fate, Bone Growth.]
Unlike ranged spellcasters like high-tier water elementals, skeleton knights are melee physical troops.
High constitution, speed, self-repair, and sharing some damage with the skeletal steed when attacked.
Strong, mobile, and durable—ideal melee troops.
Unlike water elementals clearing monsters, Su Wu assigned these 10 skeleton knights to scout, record Dawn Forest's resource points and encountered Lords' territories.
After Su Wu dispatched the knights, the high-tier water elemental who fetched the chest from the nest approached.
"Lord, here is a found treasure chest."
"Put it down."
[Third-tier Treasure Chest: rewards obtained after clearing the nest, grants territory development resources and 10 Prestige Points.]
[Holy Choice triggered successfully.]
