Chapter 1360: The Door Is Opened
After the green-skinned skeleton soldier broke through the Hundred Refining Realm again, Diak was not so generous with the remaining energy and directly absorbed it all himself.
After all, he had just returned to the Hundred Refining Realm and needed more energy to continue to improve himself.
During this process, Diak also observed the other party a few times.
After the breakthrough, the other party obviously also regained clear consciousness like him, but did not show any intention of resisting.
At the same time, they also fully obeyed the orders of their Majesty, that is, they obeyed his orders outside.
I asked him to stop absorbing energy and wait by the side, and he just stood there obediently.
This also made Diac feel satisfied in his heart.
During this process, the follow-up convoy also arrived quickly. Their purpose was to move the remaining bodies here, mainly to bring them back for testing for their Majesty.
These corpses were delivered quickly, and adding the severed heads to complete the corpses was only one of the purposes. Another very important purpose was to bring over the wolf mounts that had also been killed.
That's right, Zhou Xu wanted to see if he could pull up the Goblin Wolf Cavalry this time and expand the size of his Undead Cavalry! There are more than 1,600 Goblin Wolf Cavalry corpses here. If they can all be pulled up, they can form an army right on the spot.
"When did these Goblin Wolf Riders die?"
Zhou Xu's perception quickly swept through and he could clearly feel that many souls inside had completely dissipated, while some still had weak souls left.
This made Zhou Xu clearly realize that this should be an important data. As long as he could know this time point, he would be able to roughly understand how long the soul of an ordinary soldier could stay after death.
Drogo didn't think much about this question and quickly gave an answer.
"The ones we killed should have been five days ago, while the ones who died at the hands of Diak and his men should have been a day and a half earlier."
"Conservatively estimated, five to seven days. After an ordinary soldier dies in battle, the soul can stay here for five to seven days!"
As his perception spread, Zhou Xu easily discovered that the soul light balls floating on two of the corpses were obviously stronger.
After opening the 'Eyes of Peering into Secrets', it was found that, as expected, these two were in the Hundred Refinements Realm in their previous lives.
According to the intelligence information obtained previously, both of them were killed by Joseph in the same battle, and their death time was basically the same.
Zhou Xu did not plan to transform them into undead immediately. He planned to keep the two skeletons with him first so that he could confirm how long the soul of a warrior in the Hundred Refinements Realm could last after death. Having two of them would also make it convenient for him to make a simple comparison.
As for the remaining goblin wolf riders whose souls are still there, preliminary estimates put their number at around eight to nine hundred.
It was half the amount that was expected at the beginning.
This was actually a good thing for Zhou Xu. Although he began to absorb natural energy and meditate to recover whenever he had free time during this period, the power of mantra in his body was still not full.
He was still able to handle it with ease at this moment because the cost of using the 'Resurrection' mantra was lower than he expected.
Simply put, the consumption of Diak by using "Skeleton Cavalry Resurrection" is equivalent to the consumption of two hundred ordinary skeleton soldiers. The consumption of that green-skinned skeleton soldier requires thirty or forty less ordinary skeleton soldiers.
The cost of raising ordinary Centaur Skeleton Cavalry is between forty and fifty ordinary skeleton soldiers.
Generally speaking, the consumption is not large.
Of course, this is for Zhou Xu, whose strength has reached the out-of-body realm.
As a mage in the out-of-body realm, Zhou Xu's casual attack now consumes as much energy as a full-strength attack from an ordinary extraordinary mage.
If the same operation were done by an ordinary extraordinary wizard, he would probably be crippled long ago.
In the final analysis, it is not that this set of operations consumes little energy, but that Zhou Xu is too strong now! The energy consumption of converting ordinary or Hundred Refining Realm level undead units is not worth mentioning to him!
At this moment, according to this intelligence information, the energy consumption of converting ordinary Goblin Wolf Cavalry into Skeleton Soldiers should be even lower.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu directly signaled the relevant personnel to start dealing with the bodies.
After processing one body, I would send it to him because he also had to do some tests first.
[Skeleton Cavalry Resurrects! 】
The mantra was activated, and the spreading power of the mantra quickly dissipated into the air.
Looking at the goblin wolf cavalry and wolf skeletons in front of him, Zhou Xu seemed to be thinking about something.
[Is the direction not clear enough? Does it have to be a 'Wolf Rider'? ]
Zhou Xu had started thinking about this problem long before.
The effect of 'Skeleton Cavalry Resurrection' can work on Centaur Cavalry because Centaur itself is an integrated cavalry unit.
But when it comes to the Goblin Wolf Riders, the goblins and the wolves that serve as their mounts are actually two separate creatures.
Trying to combine two creatures with just a mantra would result in failure.
Zhou Xu, who had considered this in advance, already had other ideas.
[Skeleton soldiers resurrected! 】
[Skeleton beast soldiers resurrected! 】
This time there were no accidents. Two mantras successfully transformed the Skeleton Goblin and the Skeleton Wolf into undead.
"You, go ride this wolf."
Zhou Xu gave the order casually.
Long before, Zhou Xu had the idea of having skeleton soldiers ride on skeleton beast soldiers to form skeleton cavalry.
However, the skeleton soldiers' movements are too stiff, and they do not have the ability to respond. After they are mounted, as soon as the skeleton beast soldiers start running, they will be thrown to the ground immediately.
But after transforming them into the undead, the situation is different.
Whether it is the goblin skeleton soldiers or the skeleton wolves, they all have instinctive reactions retained from their lifetime and also have preliminary consciousness, which is naturally not comparable to those ordinary skeleton soldiers.
This was indeed the case. After receiving the order, the goblin skeleton soldier flipped over and climbed onto the wolf's back nimbly.
During this time, when the Skeleton Wolf saw the Goblin Skeleton Soldiers approaching, it did not make any resistance, and even actively crawled on the ground to make it easier for the other party to ride on it.
The whole process can only be described as very smooth.
Zhou Xu was originally thinking about whether to equip the wolf cavalry with a set of riding equipment to make it easier for them to operate.
As a result, before this thought came to his mind, Zhou Xu suddenly discovered that the goblin skeleton soldier's hands were directly grabbing the skeleton wolf's ribs.
The next second, the two soul fires between them suddenly exploded, and they passed through the gaps between their skeletons and connected the doors to each other...
