Chapter 137: Chapter 137, Skeleton Minotaur 1

It took Fang Hao and his companion twenty minutes to reach the main city.
As soon as they landed, Fang Hao immediately rushed to the barracks for recruitment.
He took a look at the stock of the Wriggling Spines in his warehouse, 16521 in total, 457 of which were dropped from the Orcs he had just killed on the battlefield.
Altogether, there were 16978 Wriggling Spines, enough for him to carry out a massive recruitment operation.
He first went to the Skeleton Conversion Field to recruit from the troops he had successfully transformed.
The types of troops he had unlocked were not many, mainly the Skeleton Beast (Tier 1), Skeleton Soldier (Tier 1), Skeleton Wolf (Tier 2), Skeleton Giant Bat (Tier 3), Skeleton Troll (Tier 5), and the Bone Dragon (Tier 10).
The Skeleton Beast was a result of Fang Hao’s experiment of throwing the bones of some wild beasts into the conversion pool.
AU the beasts of Tier 3 or below became Tier 1 troops after the transformation.
During this time,
Fang Hao had adjusted his trading methods in the channel, preferring to exchange special and rare materials.
This had allowed him to accumulate some recruitment materials.
His warehouse had 212 Beast Tooth Stones, 72 Blood Stones, and 3 Troll Stones.
There was no need to recruit Tier 1 troops, so he went straight to recruit the Tier 3 Skeleton Giant Bats.
Skeleton Giant Bat: 3 Wriggling Spines, 1 Blood Stone.
He set the quantity to 72.
And he chose to recruit directly.
■Hundredfold Increase’ triggered, recruiting 7272 Skeleton Giant Bats.
Seven thousand Skeleton Giant Bats appeared in the light and landed all around.
“Go and stand by outside the territory,” Fang Hao ordered.
All the Skeleton Giant Bats flew straight outside the territory.
After recruiting the Skeleton Giant Bats, Fang Hao continued to recruit Trolls.
For other lords, the Troll was still a difficult target to overcome. He didn’t know which lord obtained these three Troll Stones.
Skeleton Troll: 5 Wriggling Spines, 2 Death Traces, 1 Troll Stone.
He triggered Hundredfold Increase1 again and recruited 303 Skeleton Trolls.
He arranged them to wait outside the territory as well.
As the Skeleton Trolls went out, the Blood Hunter came back with a huge group of Bone Dragons dragging a large number of Orc corpses.
“My Lord,” Blood Hunter greeted.
“Hmm, throw the corpses in,” said Fang Hao.
A large number of skeletons were thrown into the Transformation Pool. The breath of the Bone Dragons had corroded the flesh and blood of these Orcs, leaving only a pile of White Bone.
Even so, nearly a thousand skeletons piled up in the Transformation Pool formed a Bone Mountain.
The Transformation Pool began to consume and transform the material.
When Fang Hao went to chat with the Blood Hunter for a while and returned to recruit more troops, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Skeleton Minotaur (Tier 4).
Faction: Undead.
Racial Traits: Undead, Hollow Skeletal, Vulnerable to Light.
Skills: Frenzied Charge, Heavy Strike.
Innate Skills: Intermediate Strength Mastery, Intermediate Defense Mastery. Frenzied Charge (Active): Charges forward, pushing back enemies in its path and causing massive damage.
Heavy Strike (Active): Powerfully hits an enemy, inflicting 70% more damage on the target.
(Description: They look gentle? You’re lucky then. But I still must warn you, don’t provoke them, or they’ll shatter you and hang your intestines on their horns to dry.)
The attributes of the Minotaur are quite good.
Especially Frenzied Charge, it is very useful in large-scale wars, and better than the heavy strike and cleave skills that regular orc transformed Skeletons have.
After checking the remaining transformed orc skeletons and not finding any good troops, he directly recruited the Skeleton Minotaurs.
Skeleton Minotaur: 4 Wriggling Spines, 1 Death Trace, 1 Beast Tooth.
He set the quantity to the maximum of 212 Beast Teeth.
He selected ‘Recruit1.
‘Hundredfold Increase’ Triggered, recruiting 21412 Skeleton Minotaurs.
Over 20,000 Skeleton Minotaurs, standing about 2.5 meters high with horns on their heads, appeared around him.
“Alright, all of you go and wait at the gate of the territory.”
All the Skeleton Minotaurs walked out.
The recruitment in the Skeleton Conversion Field used up 1079 Wriggling Spines.
He still had 15442 Wriggling Spines left, enough for him to continue recruiting ordinary troops.
Next, Fang Hao continued to the Undead troop building for recruitment.
This time he planned to use all of the Wriggling Spines.
After all, in case of any mistake during the fight.
[Undead Mage: 3 Wriggling Spines.]
Recruit quantity: 1000.
[Skeleton Cavalry: 3 Wriggling Spines.]
Recruit quantity: 147.
[Skeleton warrior: 2 wriggling spine.]
Recruit quantity: 3000.
[Skeleton Spearman: 2 Wriggling Spines.]
Recruit quantity: 3000.
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, Recruiting 101000 Undead Mages.] [Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, Recruiting 14847 Skeleton Cavalry.] [Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, Recruiting 303000 Skeleton Warriors.] [Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, Recruiting 303000 Skeleton Spearmen.] Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
Countless lights flashed, a large number of skeleton soldiers were recruited and arranged outside the territory to await orders.
Among all the troops recruited, the number of cavalry was the smallest.
This was also part of Fang Hao’s plan.
Outside the territory, most of the undeveloped forests couldn’t bring out the mobility and combat power of the cavalry.
Most importantly, Fang Hao didn’t have a cavalry leader under him, so to play
a role in battle, he had to command using God’s Presence, which was troublesome to operate.
So the number recruited was the remaining Wriggling Spines, about 15 thousand cavalry were recruited.
As he stepped out of the territory.
Looking around, it was a dense white bone army.
If this were not an army that Fang Hao had just recruited, the scene before him would have made his heart tremble.
Next, Fang Hao continued to make equipment for the troops.
A large number of equipment was made through a hundred-fold amplification.
If it wasn’t for Fang Hao’s ample iron reserve, this large-scale production really wouldn’t have been affordable for ordinary people.
All kinds of troops are fully equipped.
Eira also came out from the territory, “Master, do you need me to prepare lunch for you?”
Fang Hao had been busy since morning until now. Despite hustling and bustling, he didn’t feel hungry.
“Eira, have your clan prepare. We’II be spending the night outside tonight, and you’ll be responsible for dinner.” Fang Hao thought for a moment. Food was indeed a problem.
“Oh, okay, Master. We’ll prepare.”
Twenty minutes later, Fang Hao left 50,000 troops to garrison, and the rest of the army set off for the secondary city.
On the way.
Fang Hao was lying on the cart, resting his head on Eira’s plump and smooth thigh.
A young Rabbit Clan girl beside him served the washed fruit into Fang Hao’s mouth.
It didn’t feel too boring.
After chatting with the Rabbit Clan girl for a while, as Eira’s thigh started to feel numb, he switched to another Rabbit Clan girl’s thigh to recline.
He casually opened the Book of Lords to kill time.
“Let me just ask, do any of you have Warfire Coins? What is this thing for, and why can’t it be traded in the channel?”
“This has been discussed in the channel before. It should be the currency of the native inhabitants and can’t be exchanged in the channel.”
“Oh, alright.”
“I have recruited a blacksmith who comes with a blueprint for making iron swords. Not to brag, but apart from Fang Hao, all of you are trash…”
“Let me say something too. Of course, I’m not including Fang Hao. I’ve recruited a tier 3 unit in the wild. If you’re not convinced, come find me. My name is Handsome Drift.”
“Drift my ass.”
“Agh! I’m developing too slowly. If this keeps up, I don’t know if I can survive tomorrow’s compulsory mission.”
“What? Is it time for the compulsory mission again?”
[Congratulations on surviving 20 days.]
All of a sudden, the system prompted.
“Shit, you jinx!”
