Chapter 988

"Extraordinary promotion!" A large amount of professional power mixed with the power of the soul pool and poured into the body of the skeleton lord continuously.

Boom!

The skeleton lord fell into a state of burning.

However, this flame was blood-colored and had no heat. It did not cause any harm to the skeleton lord, but instead gained huge benefits from it.

This was the soul power in the soul pool strengthening its soul fire.

In order to enhance the effect, Gavin directly used all his legendary charm bonus abilities.

When the soul flame was extinguished, the skeleton lord completed the transformation and became one of the lords of this soul pool. Gavin could also promote five undead lords, one for each point of killing divinity.

Vitality: 75 (HD: 14D10)

Attributes: Strength 14, Agility 16, Constitution -, Intelligence 14, Perception 15, Charisma 21

Special Abilities: Undead Traits, Immunity, Blessing of Killing, Grave Master, Frostbone, Flamebone, Command Skeleton, Three Heads in One, Skeleton Lord, Enhanced Leadership (Charisma Bonus)

Grave Master (Special Ability) - Skeleton Lord emits an aura aura with a radius of ten meters. Undead creatures within the aura will gain regeneration +5 and immunity +2. When the Command Skeleton is destroyed, this aura ends.

Frostbone (Special Ability) - When this head is dominant, you can cast an ice storm every round, the effect is the same as the spell of the same name, and the main attribute of the spell is Charisma.

Frostbone (Special Ability) - When this head is dominant, you can cast a fireball every round, the effect is the same as the spell of the same name, and the main attribute of the spell is Charisma.

Command Skeletons (Special Ability) - When this head is dominant, it can revive Charisma modifier/name of undead creatures each round. The resurrection level cannot exceed the Skeleton Lord's level +2. After resurrection, the undead creatures have full vitality.

Three Heads in One (Special Ability) - When the Skeleton Lord's vitality drops to zero, one of his skeleton skulls (three heads are random) will be destroyed, and it will lose the corresponding special ability. If it still has any skeleton skulls, its vitality will be restored to full. When all three skeleton skulls are destroyed, the Skeleton Lord will be destroyed.

Skeleton Lord (Special Ability) - All attributes +2, your ability to command undead creatures is strengthened. Outside the range of the soul pool, you can command undead creatures with Charisma modifier * 1000. Within the range of the soul pool, the number of commanded creatures is doubled.

Strengthen Leadership (Special Ability) - The number of undead creatures you can command is doubled.

Compared with the ordinary Skeleton Cavalry Lord, the Skeleton Lord is more powerful. He not only has stronger battlefield survival ability, but also has stronger command ability. After all, he is a specially created Undead Lord to help control the Undead.

When the two fought before, Gavin showed too much fighting power and was in a crushing state, not giving the Skeleton Lord a chance to show his strength.

Gavin originally wanted to promote more Skeleton Cavalry Lords, form more Skeleton Cavalry Corps, and increase his own tactics.

But unfortunately, there are some Skeleton Cavalry with extraordinary life dice, but basically no one has seen those with high intelligence and charm. Even with the lord bonus, it can only barely reach ten points. A lord who can't lead the troops is a waste.

Leading a special type of undead spirits, it is impossible to pick a general from a group of dwarfs like intelligent creatures like humans. It must rely on magic blessing. If there is, there is, and if there is, there is.

The first task Gavin gave to the Skeleton Cavalry Lord was to clear all the wild skeleton soldiers within the range of the soul pool.

First, to build the defense depth of the soul pool to prevent hostile undead from sneaking in in the future.

If there are no wild skeleton soldiers in the territory, other undead creatures will sneak in in the future. From the perspective of the soul of the soul pool, they will be very clear and can be discovered at a glance.

Second, to collect more killing power to prepare for the attack on the next soul pool.

The target is naturally the skeleton minotaur pool that was previously locked.

Gavin did not wait until the territory was fully manned. He gathered 20,000 skeleton soldiers and 8,000 skeleton cavalry and set off in a mighty manner.

Even so, it took them nearly a week, and this was when the skeleton lord and the skeleton cavalry lord used their ability to control skeleton soldiers to recruit a large number of wild skeleton soldiers. Otherwise, they would have to wait for more than a month based on the soul pool itself.

This method of recruiting wild skeleton soldiers can only be used once in one's own territory.

Once covered by the soul pool, no more skeleton soldiers will grow in the wild.

Gavin's first 1500 Slaughter Skeleton Soldiers and 1500 Slaughter Skeleton Cavalry were the guards who guarded him.

With an absolute advantage in manpower, Gavin did not play any tricks this time and directly attacked.

There was no other way to play.

The previous soul collision in the sea of ​​consciousness had obviously alarmed the enemy.

The skeleton lord was obviously prepared and retracted all the troops in the soul pool to form a dense sea of ​​skeletons, guarding himself and the soul pool firmly in the center.

This was just like shooting at a fixed target. For Gavin, who had an advantage in manpower, there was no difficulty at all.

All he needed was the simplest and most brainless strategy and tactics.

The skeleton cavalry charged, and the skeleton soldiers followed to expand the results.

It is true that the best way for infantry to deal with cavalry is to form a formation, but that is done under an organized and disciplined situation.

Like skeleton soldiers, piling up without any rules is just delaying the time of being eliminated.

One point needs to be emphasized.

Although this is a pool of skeleton minotaurs, it is not an endless stream of skeleton minotaurs. Skeleton soldiers are still the majority, and skeleton minotaurs only account for about one-third.

This situation is not unique here, and the same is true for Gavin's skeleton warhorse pool.

The number of skeleton soldiers produced is obviously more than skeleton warhorses.

Therefore, it is impossible to achieve full cavalry at the beginning.

It is not difficult to understand why such a situation occurs. Simply put, the core point is enough - population base.

In the multiverse, the population base of humanoids is far from comparable to those of ordinary intelligent races.

Not to mention, there are also harsh conditions required to fall into the bottomless abyss.

Whether it is a warhorse or a minotaur corpse, the probability of falling into the bottomless abyss is smaller.

In short, even the seemingly chaotic, absurd and absurd bottomless abyss must abide by the overall operating rules of the multiverse.

Things are dead, but people are alive.

If you want all skeleton cavalry or skeleton minotaurs, there is a way to think of it.

That is to consume those skeleton soldiers through large-scale wars, so that the soul pool can continuously produce new rare arms, thereby achieving the purpose of diluting the proportion of arms.

However, this method takes time, and it takes years, and you need to ensure that you have overwhelming power over the enemy and can control the rhythm of the war.

Otherwise, it is easy to lose both the wife and the soldiers.

"Charge!" The skeleton lord did not sit and wait for death.

He consciously pushed out the skeleton soldiers on the periphery, with the purpose of using these cannon fodder to resist the strongest first round of charge attacks by the skeleton cavalry.

The lack of strict command is a common problem of skeleton soldiers.

Even with the assistance of the soul pool, the skeleton lords can only roughly control these skeleton soldiers and let them respond to their war orders, but there is no way to do micro-management.

Therefore, the human wave tactic is always the only choice for the skeleton soldiers.

When the momentum of the skeleton cavalry's charge was slightly slowed down, the skeleton minotaurs hiding behind the skeleton soldiers also lowered their heads and strode forward to charge.

"Fireball, attack!" Another cold and ruthless voice sounded.

Whoosh!

No less than thirty blazing fireballs rose into the air at the same time.

This time Gavin would not make a mistake.

It was not the blazing attack of the Blazing Skeleton, but a serious fireball.

As skeleton lords, those who have soul pools and those who don't, whether they rely on soul pools to fight, are not the same.

The first to suffer were not the skeleton cavalry, but the skeleton soldiers of their own side, accompanied by violent explosions and sweeping waves of fire.

The skeleton soldiers standing in front of the Skeleton Minotaur and the Skeleton Cavalry fell down in groups, and at this time, the Skeleton Minotaur rushed forward with rumbling steps, fiercely crashing into the Skeleton Cavalry that had just been ravaged by the Fireball.

These large skeleton soldiers with thick bones were no less powerful than the Skeleton Cavalry when they charged. The height of their horns was just right, and they directly rushed the Skeleton Knights off their war horses.

The large skeleton two-handed weapons in their hands also smashed down heavily.

With the momentum of the charge, this kind of attack is particularly terrifying. As long as it is hit hard, it is often that both the man and the horse are hammered apart.

The second round of fireball attacks in the Skeleton Minotaur army also arrived, and began to extend along the direction of the Skeleton Minotaur's attack.

Further tearing apart the formation of the Skeleton Cavalry and clearing obstacles for their advancement.

For a moment, the killing skeleton army that had been attacking with great momentum actually showed signs of decline. The skeleton cavalry corps, which was the main force of the attack, actually showed signs of being cut off by the enemy.

Infantry and artillery coordination.

Gavin, who was watching the battle on the side, was not surprised but happy.

I didn't expect that this skeleton lord was actually a talent, and he could play infantry and artillery coordination so well.

Those new armies with exclusive sacrifices to the goddess of strategy were no more than that.

After occupying the soul pool and having a constant source of troops, Gavin's mentality naturally changed.

He was no longer afraid of encountering opponents who were too strong, but was afraid that they were all guys like the skeleton cavalry lord who were not very outstanding.

The enemy was weak, which meant that the harvest after the war was small.

There was no wealth to be plundered in the war here. The only wealth that could be used as wealth was the soul pool and those special undead. As for the killing divinity and divine power, it was Gavin's unique harvest.

"Andrew, disrupt their spellcasters! Skeleton soldiers press forward to block the skeleton minotaurs, and the skeleton cavalry withdraws and reorganizes the team." Gavin quickly adjusted his own strategy and tactics.

As long as the enemy reveals its strength, the rest will be easy.

The dog demon teleported a short distance and went deep into the enemy's interior.

This immediately caused a lot of commotion in the enemy's army. The infantry and artillery coordination came to an abrupt end. The skeleton warlocks were hiding from the dog demons and had no time to cast spells. With their small bodies, they could not withstand the dog demons' gnawing.

The development of infantry and artillery coordination in the multiverse still has a long way to go.

First, the long-range attack distance is not strong. Those mages who provide long-range firepower support must be in the army, where they can see.

This approach can easily expose oneself to the enemy.

Secondly, there are top combatants in this world who can go deep into the enemy army alone to carry out beheading tactics.

To the Bone Lord, the Dog Demon is an almost incomprehensible existence.

He had no men who could stop this quasi-legendary devil at all, and those skeleton minotaurs could only slow down his attack rhythm - taking advantage of their own death.

Not to mention those skeleton warlocks who fled upon hearing the news, even he had to retreat and hide himself deeper into the skeleton army to prevent being beheaded.

Without the long-range fire support provided by the skeleton warlocks, the attack pace of the skeleton minotaurs has obviously slowed down a lot.

The skeleton soldiers following the skeleton cavalry took the opportunity to rush up and also used the skeleton sea tactic to drown them.

The Skeleton Cavalry Lord took the opportunity to lead the Skeleton Cavalry out of the battle, retreated to a distance to regroup, and prepared to charge the enemy again.

After a cursory glance, the number of skeleton cavalry was reduced by nearly one-third compared to before the troops were sent out, and most of them were the work of skeleton tauren.

This shows the power of this infantry-artillery collaboration.

In other words, these skeleton cavalry are undead souls without intelligence and have no fear at all.

Otherwise, the losses just suffered will be even greater, and there will not even be a chance to regroup.

After all, once the enemy's military strength becomes too strong and our own side suffers heavy casualties, it will easily cause the army to flee and collapse.

Before the skeleton cavalry could charge again, countless mad barks were heard in the distance, and a hound of astonishing size appeared in sight.

It was no less than six meters tall, with bulging shoulders, more like a bear than a hound, and its entire body was made of densely packed corpses.

Even in the Bone Plains where skeletons are everywhere, this look is a bit scary.

Corpse Hound.

The most powerful undead lord around.

Isn't he without wisdom?

Why did you come here suddenly?

Gavin didn't have time to think too much and directly issued an order to the Skeleton Cavalry Lord: "Continue to attack and tear apart the defense lines of those skeleton tauren. Leave this to me."

Then he personally led three thousand killing guards to greet him.

An excellent commander never invests all his troops at once, but always leaves himself a force to deal with various unexpected situations.

Now is the unexpected situation.

The corpse hound did not come by himself. Behind him, there was also a mighty army of skeleton hounds.

Either a corpse hound, or a skeleton hound formed from wolf bones.

But don't underestimate their combat effectiveness because of this. They have also inherited the sensitivity of canines, and canines' unique lunging and biting skills are still very effective in dealing with skeletal undead.

When confronting the Skeleton Knights, they all jumped up and pounced directly on the Skeleton Knights on horseback.

Some were blown away by the skeleton knight's hammer, and some were knocked away by the skeleton horse.

But there were also skeleton knights who were rushed off their horses by skeleton hounds, and some whose arms or thighs were bitten and torn off forcefully.

Although soul fire can piece bones together, there is no way to compare with the strength of muscles and tendons.

On the battlefield, you can often see skeleton soldiers being torn apart by hammers, and the soul fire trying to put them back together again.

The battle between the killing skeleton cavalry and the skeleton hound resulted in a winner and a loser.

If it's their turn to kill skeleton soldiers and skeleton hounds, they will be at a disadvantage.

The arms or thighs of a large number of killing skeleton soldiers were torn off by skeleton hounds and carried away in their mouths.

If he loses his arm, the Skeleton Killer still has a certain fighting capacity.

But if you lose your thigh, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, unless you can find a new thigh on the battlefield and install it for yourself.

The most conspicuous and tough one is undoubtedly the Corpse Hound.

It charged and let out a howl of terror.

This howl is not physical in nature, but a howl of the soul.

Many of the killing skeleton cavalry who bore the brunt were actually trembling, their whole bodies were rattling and swinging uncontrollably, just like humans who were in extreme fear, and it was difficult to react effectively.

Normally, the undead will not be affected by this kind of control spell. They are not living creatures, and their bodies will not be affected by additional hormones.

But now, it is obviously not normal.

The corpse hound's fearful power does not act on the body, but on the soul. The soul fire of the undead has a significant suppressive effect.

The corpse hound just opened its mouth, stretched out its head, and directly swallowed the leader of the knight who killed the skeleton cavalry.

Accompanied by a crackling sound of bones moving, the killer skeleton soldier suddenly appeared on the shoulders of the corpse hound. The reddish soul fire belonging to the killer skeleton soldier had not yet completely dissipated.

As for the skeleton war horse, the Corpse Hound looked down upon it at all and simply slapped it into a pile of bone fragments and continued to move forward on it.

Gavin was not in a hurry to take action against the corpse hound. Instead, he transformed into a giant prairie eagle and circled around the entire battlefield.

After confirming that there were no more ambush troops, he fell behind the skeleton hound army and started a crazy transformation of those skeleton hounds.

Let’s see who kills faster or I transform faster.

Gavin discovered at this moment that the bottomless abyss was the paradise of the war god system.

There is no need to consider supplies or sources of troops here.

Many consumption tactics that were not originally available can be used without restraint here, and you can let go completely.

This is another day for Ms. Strategy to win. As long as you lie in the Kingdom of God, you don't need to do anything, and a large amount of faith will come to you.

This war of attrition did not last long. When the corpse hound saw Gavin appear, it immediately turned around and rushed towards him aggressively.

Even though it was hundreds of meters away, Gavin could clearly feel the strong malice revealed by the corpse hound towards him.

"You took the initiative to come to my door, saving me the trouble of looking for you."

Gavin once again transformed into the strongest land combat form-the violent blue bear, and rushed towards the corpse hound without fear. (End of this chapter)
