Otherworldly Skeleton

Afraid that he would not be able to return after going out, Lu Yan ordered Andelina and Levin to wait first, and he jumped into the water first. Sure enough, the undercurrent in the underground river was turbulent. Mi Yuan's eyes lit up, and he had slipped into a quiet valley at the foot of Moya Mountain.

Tell Andelina in Dragon City the length of the waterway through the soul words, and not long after, the two war bones and the surviving Shi Ke people were washed out by the current.Seeing the light again, the Shi Ke people were not moved to tears, and Katon even walked up to Lu Yan and knelt down on one knee: "Lord Lu Yan, please accept our most sincere thanks from Shi Ke people, you helped us find Dragon City , history books, and dragon eggs, this kindness is repaid, and Katon will always be your strongest backing in the future, and you will not violate it until death!"

This is tantamount to allegiance in disguise, but it also means that he has a greater responsibility on his shoulders. Lu Yan helped Caton up: "You go back first to announce the good news to King Chuer. It shouldn't be possible to recover your vitality for a long time, so how do you get into Rebirth Fort, let's discuss it carefully."

Carton nodded again and again, and then left first under Lu Yan's signal.

Lu Yan took Andelina and Levin to the east in the dense forest of the valley. Six days later, they encountered the red bone sentinel left by Rui Sien in the valley. The smart Rui Sien had expected that Lu Yan would They don't necessarily come back from the Shiman plateau, so they arranged the scouting red bones in various parts of the valley early.

On May 33, Lu Yan's team regrouped in the Moya Mountains. There were 189 battle bones and [-] red bones. Although the red bones brought out this time were slightly damaged, compared to the new battle bones they got , this loss is already very small.

There are still ten days until the evaluation meeting next month, so Lu Yan is not in a hurry to go back to report the results, he decided to seize the time to upgrade.Regarding Lu Yan's decision, the red bones howled excitedly. It is of course much safer to be able to upgrade under the leadership of Lu Yan.

"My lord, I have already marked more than a dozen gathering places for large horn sheep." Rui Sien had long expected Lu Yan to make such a decision, and he had already made corresponding preparations in order to improve hunting efficiency.

Lu Yan was overjoyed, he didn't need to search like headless chickens, and his speed was at least doubled.

So under the leadership of Lu Yan, the joyful sheep hunting campaign began.Lu Yan led the team to hunt and kill the horned sheep at a speed of clearing a batch every eight hours. Every time he could produce two or three war bone subordinates, and he himself could be promoted by one or two levels. The essence of life will also provide him with a living soul of about level [-]

When coming out of the underground dragon city, 86 joints were lit on the white bee;

On May 92th, the White Bee lit up the [-]nd joint;

On May 103th, the White Bee lights up the [-]rd joint;

On May 116th, the White Bee lights up the 51th joint.At the same time, the number of battle bones under Lu Yan has also climbed to [-], and many other red bones are on the verge of upgrading.

"My lord, it's almost time to go back, otherwise we won't be able to make it to the assessment meeting at the beginning of next month." Rui Sien suggested to Lu Yan with a smile while standing on the bloody battlefield.

Lu Yan looked around at a group of dark war bones, and thought of the embarrassment of only nine war bones when he left the city two months ago, he couldn't help but feel happy, he said with a smile: "It's time to go back, all the horn sheep around here We were about to kill them all."

At this time, Levin came over: "My lord, the thick fog still hasn't moved."

Lu Yan and Rui Sien turned their heads to a valley mouth in the west at the same time. There was a thick white fog in front of the valley mouth. This strange thick fog had followed Lu Yan for three days. When flocking sheep, the dense fog will appear silently, and then guard by the side, as if something inside is quietly observing the hunting activities of the skeletons.

As if aware of Lu Yan's gaze, the white mist quickly dissipated, leaving behind a dense and gloomy mountain path.

"No matter what it is, as long as it doesn't mess with us, we won't touch it. I'm not interested in making enemies." Lu Yan waved his hand: "It's time, let's go back to the city!"

*********

On June [-]st, even the northern tip of the mainland became hot, and the evaluation meeting of Gaoling City was advanced half a day, starting on Yueyi Peak in the early morning.

On the huge square covered with bluestone slabs and half-meter low walls around it, there are countless torches and stars in the sky. Everyone came to the venue early with strong bones. The skeletons sat down according to their respective areas. The night wind passed through the top of the mountain, blowing the torches, and the warm burnt smell exuded a sense of prosperity.

Today's Gaoling City has greatly improved compared to the predicament four months ago. Although there is no increase in the number of riders, the number of riders has increased slightly. There are already 105 riders, which is a lot higher than the 64 who just arrived in Gaoling City .The greater growth comes from the number of strong bones, which has risen sharply from the original number of about 300 to more than 1200, an increase of more than four times. Therefore, although today's assessment meeting still allows strong bones to participate, in fact, only a part of them are really qualified. Only those with strong development potential are eligible to participate in the conference.

At two o'clock in the morning, Zexisi and the four generals arrived on time, and the evaluation of Gaoling City officially began.

Bernardi's fortification work was as smooth as ever. There were neither too many surprises nor any serious mistakes. Collection, the finished condition is not particularly good, but it is barely passable.

After the general task report is completed, the report of some special events will start.

The Land Secretary reported one thing, saying that a lot of land in the city had been sold without skeletons taking care of it, especially the entire North Street of West Third Street, which had not started construction for several months after it was bought, and the buyer disappeared, and the land appeared. The phenomenon of desertion.Zexis immediately ordered to rectify, and if the buyer could not be contacted before the next appraisal meeting, the land would be resold immediately.

The second thing comes from those strong bones whose task completion rate is close to zero. There are about 50 strong bones. Most of them received resource collection tasks or army fundraising tasks. In the valley below, they encountered robbery by rogues, and they couldn't tell what to say to those robbing rogues, because every time they were robbed, they were robbed in a dense fog. Bone cards do not harm the lives of skeletons.

Iris accepted the task on the spot and appointed one of his bone riders to clean up the looters.

The third thing came from Bernardi’s complaints. In the past two months, more and more war bones went to the Yugu Division to buy red bones. They were ordered by Qianggu to take the red bones outside the city to fight with wild beasts. The loss of bones is to get a small amount of war bones. Often, 100 red bones can be lost to get 3 to 5 war bones. This kind of barbaric military training behavior has caused an extreme shortage of red bones in the Yugu Division, and the labor force for building cities has become less and less.

Zexis immediately decided to forbid barbaric military training until the construction of Gaoling City was completed.

After the three pieces of bad news, the skeletons also brought out good news. A human-shaped strong bone under York Fanny came out and knelt down in front of Zexis: "Lord Bone, I was ordered to sneak into the Stone Man Plateau, Got important information."

"Speak!" In fact, Zexis already had some vague understanding of the matter of Fort Rebirth, but he was still willing to let the spies say it again in public at the evaluation meeting.

"I sneaked into the stone barbarian plateau for a month and a half, which proved that the stone barbarians are indeed gathering heavy troops..." Qiang Gu, who reported the report, talked eloquently, but his information was only outside the Rebirth Fort. Zexis was not interested in hearing it. In general, there are still many speculative speculations and little actual evidence, and there is not even a single mention of the great changes in the stone barbarians.

Seeing Zexis's impatience, Diefeld stepped forward and said: "My lord, those spies who didn't enter the castle brought back rumors, which are really useless, but one of my subordinates has sneaked in." In Rebirth Fort, he brought some shocking news."

With a twitch in his heart, Zexis thought of the figure of Lu Yan holding a gun. He said with a smile, "Oh? Is that the little guy dancing with a gun?"

Lu Yan's influence on Zexis was so deep, Diefeld was unhappy, but it didn't show on his face, he shook his head indifferently: "It's not him, that strong bone hasn't returned to the city until last night , I'm afraid it won't come."

Not coming back?Zexis looked at Karen Val: "Stupid dragon, where are your men?"

Karen Varney spread her two forelimbs: "I don't know, my lord, that kid hasn't come back since he left at the beginning of the month."

Either absconding or dying outside, Diefeld said in his heart that a strong bone is a strong bone, no matter how special it is, its survivability is still too weak.

Zexis turned to Diefeld impatiently: "Okay, let the strong man you mentioned come up."

A tall and strong man came out, and he knelt down in front of Zexis: "My lord, a month ago, I bought a group of ore dealers from the Lan Empire, entered the Fort of Rebirth in disguise, and then lurked in the fort. After six days, I found that the stone barbarians were hoarding an army, and the number was about 13!"

This is an accurate number, and Zexis cheered up: "Say it!"

"Yes, my lord, all the stone barbarians gathered troops. While training the newly recruited soldiers, they rushed to make weapons. They plundered a large number of coolies and skeletons from the surrounding area, and made weapons day and night. They planned to launch an attack in mid-June."

Zexis hurriedly asked: "I heard that something big happened in Fort Rebirth, do you know what happened? Will they send troops as scheduled?"

Qiang Gu answered vaguely: "Uh... my lord, there was a stone barbarian rebel army making trouble in the city at the beginning of the month, and they have already wiped it out, so it shouldn't affect the dispatch of troops. We need to make plans early."

"Oh——" Zexis sighed softly. He had heard rumors that the stone barbarians had undergone tremendous changes and that they would never send troops in the short term. However, hearing what the spies said at this moment made him feel anxious, and there was only half a month left. , How can the unfinished Gaoling City stop the attack of 13 wolf-like stone barbarians.

"My lord, I propose to establish a branch city [-] kilometers north of Gaoling City immediately to resist the attack of the stone barbarians." Diefeld volunteered and said, "I am willing to take my troops to open up the city."

Sending generals out to guard sub-cities is a common management method for leaders, but it will only be adopted after there are too many generals and sub-cities. Now Gaoling City itself has not been built, and there are only four generals. It is not appropriate to send generals abroad again.After Diefeld's proposal was finished, both York Fanny and Karen Val had a slight change in expression.

Bernardi made another suggestion: "My lord, our strength is not enough to resist the stone barbarian army. The only way is to ask Drenthe for help."

"Drenthe?" Zexis snorted coldly: "I didn't mention it, his condition is to let me become his vassal skeleton like Kaman... Do you think I should agree to him?"

"This..." Bernardi was dumb.

In the huge open-air venue, there was a sudden silence. Facing the coming army of stone barbarians, the four generals were at a loss, and the other skeletons were not well-informed, so there was nothing good to do. Seeing the prosperous Gao Ling just now The city will once again fall into the shadow of destroying the city.

In this strange tranquility, a thin human-shaped skeleton climbed up to the peak against the mountain wind and flames, and walked into the venue.

Lu Yan arrived.
