"Hmph!" A hot-tempered skeleton general sneered. "Mortals may be weak, but they are numerous. Without them, who will do those tedious basic labor tasks? Are we, their esteemed skeleton warriors, supposed to clean up bone fragments and move stones?"
The skeleton soldier that the female lawyer Yun Xin had transformed into immediately chimed in, her voice clear and articulate: "General, you are mistaken! As far as I know, our skeleton race also has low-ranking skeletons who are perfectly capable of handling this kind of basic work!"
"Moreover, we did not recommend expelling technically skilled mortals; they can instruct lower-ranking skeletons to work more efficiently!"
"The best course of action is to focus resources on nurturing our elites and promising skeleton warriors! Mortals are too weak to keep up with the pace of the divine kingdom's development; they will only slow us down!"
The engineer skeleton added, "According to my preliminary estimates, if all the resources used to support ordinary mortals were converted into materials to strengthen skeleton warriors, or used to develop more powerful bone weapons..."
"The overall combat strength of our Skeleton Clan can be increased by at least 30% in the short term! In the long run, the benefits are immeasurable!"
“What if banishing mortals causes them to riot? Or what if other covetous gods seize this opportunity to launch an attack?” Another, more cautious skeleton general raised his concerns.
Sales Manager Skeleton laughed heartily: "General, you're overthinking it! What waves can a bunch of unarmed, starving mortals make?"
"As for the other gods? Ha! The Wolf God is too busy to take care of himself, and the Blood God is barely clinging to life. They'd love for us to be in internal strife, so why would they dare to provoke our powerful Skeleton Legion? This is the perfect opportunity to make a clean break, destroy the old and establish the new, and eliminate the burdens!"
With a few words exchanged, the several time-traveling skeletons worked in perfect harmony, improvising ancient maxims of the skeleton race, reasoning with them, and appealing to their emotions, to describe their grand vision of dominating the world.
In an instant, a group of normally imposing skeleton generals nodded repeatedly, their soul fire flickering in their eye sockets, clearly completely convinced.
Finally, the elderly skeleton general slammed his hand on the bone seat: "Good! Proceed with this plan! Immediately issue the order to expel all mortal prisoners of the divine kingdom who have no combat ability or special skills! Only keep the key personnel such as engineers and doctors!"
"Yes, sir!" the skeleton generals replied in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall.
On the desolate mountain, Yu Luo took in all of this, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"These guys are really clever. In just one day, they've managed to have a blast!"
Yu Luo was both amused and exasperated.
A thought struck her.
“Anniang.”
Far away in another part of the desolate mountains, Lin Anniang, who was training her believers, paused and immediately replied respectfully, "Mountain Goddess? What are your orders?"
Yu Luo's voice rang clearly in her mind: "Over there in the Divine Kingdom, those skeletons will soon drive out a large number of mortals. You must immediately take Wang Wan and choose a secluded spot on the only road leading from the Divine Kingdom to the outside world to lie in ambush and prepare to receive these people."
Upon hearing this, Lin Anniang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and without the slightest hesitation, she replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! Anniang understands! I guarantee to bring them all back safe and sound!"
Lin Anniang agreed in a deep voice, immediately turned around, and strode off to find Wang Wan.
