Inside the canyon, a large group of skeleton minions began to form their own lines and charge towards the surrounding skeleton monsters.

The commotion in the canyon finally caught the attention of Zhen Nantian, the commander of the Zhenyuan Legion, on the city wall. Although he didn't know what was happening over there, a small patch of green health bars was still quite noticeable among the horde of skeletons.

Could they be friendly forces?

Zhen Nantian was filled with confusion.

After ruling out the Zhenyuan Legion, Beixiong Fortress, and Wuwei Fortress, along with Jinling City, Zhen Nantian finally remembered the little skeleton next to Commander Jiang. At the time, the little skeleton was surrounded by skeleton monsters with green health bars, though they were huddled together and showed no signs of combat power. However, Zhen Nantian immediately recognized those skeleton monsters with green health bars on their heads as Jiang Hao's summoned creatures.

Seeing the skeleton allies bravely fighting in the canyon, Zhen Nantian was deeply shaken.

Those friendly units seemed to possess a special kind of magic; whenever they attacked a skeleton monster, the target's health bar would turn green, and then the target would turn around and attack its former comrade.

No wonder Commander Jiang didn't seem nervous at all when he stood on the city wall.

So he had this trump card up his sleeve!

Looking at the plank road on the eastern cliff, where a man and a skeleton were still tirelessly pulling and fighting monsters, Zhen Nantian's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally relaxed a little.

How can I not be nervous?

He had already received the battle report before he arrived. Within three days, Jinling City deployed 100,000 troops to Qiongfeng Pass, of which 90,000 were sent to Qianfeng Pass by the Nok Legion Commander. Combined with the original 110,000 troops at Qiongfeng Pass, the total strength at Qianfeng Pass once reached 200,000, but it was still only enough to hold off the Skeleton Legion for 3 days.

What was the final result? 200,000 troops were reduced to ashes along with the front pass, with only a small portion escaping back to the central pass. Including the more than 50,000 reinforcements that arrived, the total strength of the entire Qiongfeng Pass is now only about 100,000. A small portion of them are remnants.

How to block it?

There was no way to stop it; it was a losing game!

Knowing it's certain death, why come at all? Simply for the honor of the soldiers of the Zhenyuan Legion.

Lost in thought, Zhen Nantian looked up again to find a sudden change on the battlefield. The skeleton allies with green health bars above their heads vanished in a flash of white light. A large expanse of black rock appeared on the canyon floor, only to be quickly filled by the skeleton army, turning it into a vast expanse of white.

Zhen Nantian suddenly remembered what he had seen on the city wall earlier. Thousands of green-health-bar skeleton monsters suddenly evaporated on the spot, leaving no trace of their existence.

Could it be that those skeleton allies cannot last forever?

Looking at the skeleton army in the canyon outside the city walls, Zhen Nantian's heart sank to the bottom.

Standing on the eastern cliff, Jiang Hao knew that his summoned skeleton was about to level up. However, seeing the small patch of ground he had just captured quickly being taken over by the skeleton army, it was impossible for him not to feel a sense of loss.

The little skeleton's taming talent, coupled with its incredibly high damage bonus, makes it undoubtedly the nemesis of skeleton armies. However, the fact that all of the little skeleton's tamed minions disappear once a certain number are tamed is truly frustrating.

It felt like driving a sports car on the highway, just picking up speed, and then suddenly running out of gas.

Jiang Hao suddenly lost interest in fighting monsters, put away his staff, and walked towards the plank road.

He wanted to see what the difference was between the upgraded skeleton and the new one. If it really didn't work, he'd just disband it and summon a new one.

Before Jiang Hao could even round the protruding rock, he saw a skeleton leap down, followed by another, and then yet another. They were falling like dumplings into a pot. After passing the rock, Jiang Hao finally saw several skeleton minions leaping into the canyon below the little skeleton. The little skeleton itself was swinging its large sword twice per second. Each time the sword rose and fell, a skeleton monster was subdued and joined the swarm of bones.

Seeing the little skeleton's skillful movements, like a veteran employee who had been standing on an assembly line for years, Jiang Hao's heart softened.

Actually, the little skeleton has many commendable aspects.

For example... for example, it's very diligent!

For example, with his talent damage bonus, the little skeleton can improve its quality very quickly.

Aside from that, Jiang Hao couldn't find any other advantages for it.

In conclusion, if you don't have too high expectations for its talent [Taming], the little skeleton is quite excellent.

Seeing the little skeleton's entire body radiating a silvery-white glow, each bone becoming thicker and stronger, and its every movement not only more agile but also exuding a powerful aura, Jiang Hao ultimately did not disband it.

I wonder what its attributes will be like after the quality is improved?

Filled with curiosity, Jiang Hao began to examine the little skeleton's attribute panel.

life:

Physical attack: 7480

Physical defense: 1360

Note: Skeleton Warrior minions are bound to the Skeleton Warrior and enjoy all the talent bonuses available to the Skeleton Warrior, without consuming any summoner slots. Skeleton Warriors can level up, sharing experience points equally with the summoner. After taming a sufficient number of minions, the Skeleton Warrior's quality can be improved. When a Skeleton Warrior is killed, it will enter the summoning space to recuperate. Recovery time required for the current quality: 200 hours.

After being upgraded to Silver quality, in addition to a significant increase in attribute values, its skills also improved. The second skill was changed from evasion to damage mitigation, further enhancing its defensive capabilities. Furthermore, it gained a third skill: Charge, which increases the little skeleton's mobility. However, since it can use Jiang Hao's talent to pull monsters from a distance, this skill seems somewhat superfluous.

In short, this improvement was significant, but because Jiang Hao had high aspirations, it didn't exceed his expectations.

On the contrary, Jiang Hao noticed something when he mentioned the number of subordinates he had subdued.

It turns out that upgrading from ordinary quality to silver quality is just a basic evolution.

In addition, Jiang Hao noticed that with each quality upgrade, the little skeleton's original skills would become more powerful, and it would also gain an additional skill.

Jiang Hao was somewhat looking forward to what kind of new skill the little skeleton would gain with the next quality upgrade.
