Chapter 1100: Commander Skelly1

”We now have the two generals you are looking for. Should I use all the souls to summon the soldiers?” Tang Shaoyang asked Skelly1. He asked because he did not want to intervene with how Skelly1 managed his army.

Skelly1 raised his right, gesturing to Master not to use all the souls.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [Keeper told me that we would fight the people from the city, but I donʼt know the end goal behind the war yet, Master. Can you tell me what you want to achieve, Master? It will determine the number of armies we need.]

Tang Shaoyang told Skelly1 what he had in mind. The war was not a large-scale war but a group fight outside the city. He never planned to take over the city. Too much resources and time were needed to destroy the city, and he doubted that the current him was enough to do so. So the war in his mind was to hunt the people from the Starter City #5. There was a possibility that the factions would unite; that was why he wanted the army of skeletons.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [I see. That means we donʼt need a big army for the starter. We can start with two hundred and ten skeletons. My sibling will lead thirty skeleton soldiers for the time being. That way, we can get ready faster for the future fight.]

It would take a longer time to prepare a big army, so Earl Skeleton wanted to start with a small army. Two hundred and ten skeletons were twice the size of the exploration team. That should be enough for the starter.

Tang Shaoyang understood why Skelly1 wanted to start it with a smaller number. He was about to summon the skeletons, but Skelly1 raised his hand once more. There was something Earl Skeleton wanted to say before the summoning.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [May I know the grade of the souls and also the number of souls you have, Master? I want to create the composition for the summoning by myself, too, if possible. However, I donʼt mind if you also decide it by yourself, Master.]

”Of course, you can.” Tang Shaoyang said, shrugging as he did not really care. ”But can you see the screen?” He could share the screen with the others, the players. He never tried to share the screen with his familiar. It might not work, but it was worth a try.

”Can you see it?” Tang Shaoyang asked, looking at the Earl Skeleton. Sharing the screen was an easy task; he just needed to think about it in his mind, and the System would share it with the intended target in his mind.

Skelly1 nodded, holding his skeleton jaw as he was in deep thought. The skeleton seemed to think of the skeleton composition for the skeleton soldiers.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [I can see the screen. For a start, can I have seventy skeletons with ten Grade A souls? The seventy skeletons will be our elite soldiers.]

Tang Shaoyang did as Skelly1ʼs request, summoning seventy skeletons by using ten souls. It used ten souls for one skeleton, but there was no visible difference from the normal skeleton. The white-framed skeleton was what a skeleton was supposed to look like. The task was not done yet for him as he conveyed his thought that they would be under Skelly1ʼs command. Of course, he did not bother to name them as there was no way he would remember each one of them.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [The remaining hundred and forty skeletons should be summoned with ten Grade B Souls each. We will work hard to raise their level to level 1000, then we can expand the army, triple the number.]

Tang Shaoyang could understand what Skelly1 tried to do. First, the Skelly Family would level these two hundred and ten skeletons to level 1000. It was not a hard task since there were a lot of monsters around level 800 to the Epic Rank that were above level one thousand on the eleventh floor of the Dimensional Tower. After all two hundred and ten, the skeleton army reached level 1000, then he could summon more skeletons. At that point, it would be much easier to raise the newly summoned skeleton soldiers with an elite of two hundred and ten skeletons that had reached level 1000.

After summoning two hundred and ten skeletons, his job was not over. He had to relay the command to the newly summoned skeletons that they had to listen to the Skelly Familyʼs order and direction. Only then the newly summoned skeletons would listen to the Skelly Family.

”Do you have more requests?” Tang Shaoyang asked Skelly1.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [This should be enough, but if possible, I want a safe hunting ground. This area is not safe; if we encounter people from the city, the people will try to kill us. We, the Skelly Family, will survive the attack or even annihilate the enemy, but I am not sure about the new skeleton. They might die with a one-shot magic bolt from level 300 human.]

”Safe hunting ground?” Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. There was no really safe hunting ground in this wilderness. However, he understood Skelly1ʼs concern, but it was not something he could not provide with his current situation.

”Wait. I do think I have the safe hunting ground you are looking for.” He suddenly remembered the Epic Rank Garden. It was the resource node he accidentally obtained because the Skelly Family killed the boss monster. There were a lot of strong monsters inside, and since they raced to capture the resource, there were still a lot of monsters alive inside.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! [Thatʼs also the place I have in mind, but we need Masterʼs assistance. There should be people guarding the place. We need Masterʼs help to clear the entrance since I am not sure we are enough to kill them all.]

The Skelly Family could kill The Epic Rank and fight in par against the Ancient or even put up a fight against the Myth Rank, but they could only do that with a surprise attack. Once the surprise element disappeared, it would be hard for them to fight ten Myth Ranks at once.

”Itʼs not an issue.” Tang Shaoyang said, waving his hand at ease. There was no way those factions would put even their Myth Rank just to guard the resource node that did not belong to them. They might put some people to watch whether he would return or not, but those people meant to watch. At best, they were at Ancient Rank.
