After losing 1,000 of his minions, the little skeleton was upgraded from Iron rank to Bronze rank.
Besides the first skill being slightly improved and changed, I also learned a second skill.
But are the little skeleton's minions only used to improve the little skeleton's quality? Can't they participate in battles?
Jiang Hao was eager to know the answer to this question.
A large area on the city wall was empty, but without an officer's order, none of the surrounding soldiers dared to step onto it. They were all looking in this direction, as if asking something.
Jiang Hao understood their meaning and waved to Zhen Nantian.
"Let them start setting up defenses. I'm going to the boardwalk over there."
Jiang Hao led the little skeleton to the east side of the city wall. Just as they were about to step onto the stairs leading to the plank road, Jiang Hao turned around and led the little skeleton back to the edge of the city wall. At Jiang Hao's command, the little skeleton raised its greatsword and began tirelessly pulling monsters and recruiting new minions.
Before long, several skeleton minions were standing around the little skeleton.
Jiang Hao wanted them to go fight monsters at the foot of the city wall. However, apart from the little skeleton, he had no connection with these skeleton monsters and couldn't give them any commands. He had previously given the little skeleton orders to command its minions to go and kill monsters. But he didn't know if the little skeleton didn't understand or didn't know how to carry out the order. It was still swinging its large sword incessantly, and none of its minions moved.
Jiang Hao had no choice but to bend down, pick up a skeleton monster, and throw it over the city wall.
And then that was it. The skeleton monster landed on the head of the monsters below the city wall, quickly rolled into the pile of monsters, and disappeared from sight. Just like a drop of rain falling into the ocean, it didn't even make a ripple.
Jiang Hao was unwilling to give up, so he picked up one skeleton monster after another and threw them over the city wall. However, facing the sea, five drops of rain were no different from one drop.
At this point, all of Jiang Hao's fantasies about the [Subjugation] talent vanished.
What's the use of having little skeletons?
Aside from being able to pull monsters like him and having a talent that can improve quality, he's useless!
Jiang Hao really wanted to disband the little skeleton at this moment.
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Hao finally decided to keep the little skeleton with tears in his eyes.
It seems that after obtaining the skill book from the City Lord of Jinling, I need to hurry up and farm dungeons for the first-clear reward. I only have 518 skill points right now; if I try to accumulate 1000 skill points through leveling up, this game will be unplayable. Only after obtaining enough rewards will I be able to upgrade my summoning space, allowing me to choose a more powerful summon.
Yes, Jiang Hao's resentment towards the little skeleton really runs quite deep.
Having made his plans, Jiang Hao led the little skeleton to the plank road. Passing the soldiers' defenses, Jiang Hao stopped near them. Looking at the little skeleton beside him, Jiang Hao, somewhat annoyed, ordered it to continue forward for another kilometer until its view was completely blocked by protruding rocks. Only then did Jiang Hao instruct it to continue subduing its subordinates.
Jiang Hao raised his staff and began his own path of leveling up by pulling monsters. As the staff fell, a skeleton monster appeared beneath it.
-
White damage numbers floated up above its head, and Jiang Hao suddenly realized that the damage brought by the talent upgrade had reached such a terrifying level.
Only then did Jiang Hao realize just how monstrous his 4S-level talent, [Dizzying Mercy], truly was.
Finally, at this moment, Jiang Hao determined which attribute he should upgrade: attack speed!
Yes, with every attack providing strong crowd control and dealing massive true damage, attack speed is undoubtedly the top priority attribute for a well-rounded melee mage to maximize combat power.
Jiang Hao opened his attribute panel and found that only Agility was the sole attribute affecting attack speed. Seeing his Agility value of 2822 points surprised him. Then he remembered that after completing the two-star trial, each level increased Agility by 175 points. At level 18, combined with the equipment bonuses, 2800 Agility was reasonable. He allocated all 75 free attribute points from level-up rewards, plus the 1055 free attribute points from first kills and first clears, to his Agility. At this point, Jiang Hao's total Agility reached 3952 points, theoretically allowing him to attack 7.9 times per second.
Jiang Hao glanced to the right of the plank road, but a protruding rock blocked his view. Out of sight, out of mind, Jiang Hao raised his staff and resumed his monster-hunting and experience-gaining activities.
About 15 minutes later, a flash of white light appeared on Jiang Hao's body, and he had leveled up again.
Jiang Hao paid no attention and continued fighting monsters to gain experience. After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Hao suddenly noticed that the skeletons in the canyon beneath his feet began to stir. Several of them, as if suddenly gaining sentience, leaped up and landed on top of the other skeleton monsters. At the same time, they looked up towards the direction of the Zhongfeng Pass city wall. This scene startled Jiang Hao.
At the same time, Zhen Nantian's voice came from the middle section of the city wall.
"All soldiers at the Central Pass, listen to my command!"
The voice was loud and clear, as if it had been enhanced by some kind of formation, echoing throughout the entire Qiongfeng Pass, ensuring that everyone in the pass could hear every word clearly.
Jiang Hao saw Zhen Nantian standing in the center of the city wall from afar, his right hand raised high with a sword to supervise the battle.
"In my capacity as commander of the Qiongfeng Pass Legion, I order all soldiers on the city wall to formally form a legion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao saw Zhen Nantian plunge the Blade of Supervision into the stone platform beneath his feet.
With a clang, the sound was like the echo of steel plates colliding.
Then Jiang Hao saw a white, transparent, semi-circular shield rise from Zhen Nantian's position on the city wall. The shield grew larger and larger until it encompassed the entire city wall of the Central Pass. After the white shield disappeared, it was followed by an earthy yellow shield, then a silver-yellow shield, then a red shield, then an orange shield, until the last green shield also disappeared. Only then did Jiang Hao notice that several buffs had appeared above the heads of every soldier on the city wall responsible for guarding the city.
Jiang Hao carefully examined each status stat. Military Formation: Immune to all attacks from within the legion; Resilience: Increases physical defense and magic resistance by 30%; Defense: Reduces control effects and duration by 30%; Speed: Increases attack speed and casting speed by 30%; Sharpness: Increases attack power and spell power by 30%; Heroism: Increases health regeneration speed by 100% during battle.
Jiang Hao thought to himself that perhaps this battle to defend the city wouldn't be as disastrous as Nok had described.
