Except for the few skeletons wandering around the lumberyard, they didn't even have time to react before they were torn into bone fragments by the gryphon cavalry flying down.
No way, when Slok led the undead army to occupy this logging camp, he did not consider allocating troops to station an army here.
After all, that would weaken his strength and lose a lot of advantages when attacking Tallan City.
Unfortunately, even so, he failed in the end, and even he became a member of Taran City.
After occupying the logging camp, Slok did not stop to rest. Instead, he continued to move forward and occupied an iron mine half a day away.
With the two major resource points of the lumberyard and the iron mine, Tallan City can obtain 10 points of iron ore and 10 points of wood every day.
In addition to being directly exchanged for gold coins in the market, these resources can also allow the city defender Aisha to upgrade the Lancer Barracks to the Halberdiers Barracks and the Archers Barracks to the Marksman Barracks.
In this way, Tallan City will be able to produce more powerful halberdiers and marksmen.
After occupying two major resource points, Slok continued to march, and soon before the sky was about to darken, he discovered a group of spearmen wandering in the wilderness.
Well, spearmen like this that do not belong to any city and appear in the wild are a relatively common phenomenon in this plane.
Due to the special rules of this plane, groups of soldiers will appear in the wild every once in a while.
The spearmen are basically the weakest in terms of strength.
They are called wild monsters by heroes. They are not only good targets for heroes to level up their armies, but they are also an important source of replenishing soldiers.
This is also a helpless thing. The output of troops in each city is a fixed amount within a period of time, depending on the levels of various military camps.
This can easily cause the strong to remain strong and the weak to remain weak.
But if this plane really operated according to this rule, I'm afraid there would only be one city left in the entire plane.
But now there are still many cities in the plane, and they are constantly fighting with each other.
The key reason lies in these wild monsters!
A very weak city may become powerful just because it successfully recruits a group of wild monsters.
After all, these wild monsters are not just level 1 units such as spearmen.
In the wild areas near Tallan City, there are often wild monsters such as spearmen, archers, griffin cavalry, etc., and sometimes even powerful units such as swordsmen.
The same is true in the wilds of other cities. Most of them will produce troops similar to your own.
In some relatively remote and dangerous places, it is still possible for more powerful units to appear, such as level 5 soldier priests, level 6 soldier knights, etc.
Of course, as for whether the hero can recruit these wild monsters under his command, the key depends on two points.
One is the luck of the hero. Many heroes have very bad luck. They often fail when recruiting these wild monsters. If the recruitment fails, the wild monsters will attack.
Therefore, many heroes who go out to fight in the jungle will find ways to learn diplomacy to increase their recruitment success rate.
The second is that recruiting wild monsters requires gold coins!
The stronger and more numerous wild monsters are, the more gold coins are needed for recruitment.
Of course, if you have financial management skills, the recruitment cost will be reduced a lot.
Therefore, sometimes it is difficult to say whether a hero's skills are good or bad.
Rocks naturally had no diplomacy or financial management skills, but he had no intention of giving up on this wave of wild spearmen. With his order, the troops he led started to kill the wild spearmen.
The number of this group of wild spearmen is actually not that large, only about thirty.
When the two sides came into contact, these wild spearmen immediately put down their weapons and surrendered.
There is no doubt that this made Rocks very lucky to pick up a group of spearmen for nothing, which strengthened the army of Tallan City.
After recruiting this group of wild spearmen, Rocks continued to lead the army forward.
At nightfall, he found a group of mercenaries gathered around a campfire.
Undoubtedly, Rocks came forward again, but it was a pity that the recruitment failed this time.
More than fifty level 1 mercenaries launched a desperate attack on the army in Tallan City.
It should be noted that these level 1 mercenaries do not belong to any race. They, together with nomadic cavalry, mummies and other types of troops, are separate field units and cannot be recruited from the barracks of any city.
Due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, the army led by Rocks quickly surrounded and exterminated this group of mercenaries.
Even Fang Xiaoyue managed to grab four heads with her continuous second-shot talent.
I have to say that it is too difficult to win a head in such a wild battle.
This is no different from defending a city, where you can rely on the advantages of the terrain to deal arbitrary damage to the enemy.
After defeating this group of mercenaries, Rocks immediately activated his natural ability, spiritualism!
Once the spiritualism was used, the corpses of the killed mercenaries quickly decomposed until their bones were exposed, and some of the skeletons immediately became active and turned into skeletons.
More than fifty mercenary corpses and 6 skeletons were generated.
This is not surprising, Rocks' spiritualism is only elementary.
The undead that can be recruited by elementary spiritualism are skeletons, and the recruitment ratio is 10%.
So it is correct to only generate 6 skeletons.
Fang Xiaoyue was deeply touched by this. In Farmer No. 103's memory, he was turned into a skeleton by spiritualism.
In fact, from Farmer No. 103's point of view, becoming a skeleton is much worse than sleeping forever.
Low-level undead basically have no intelligence of their own. They only know how to act according to the orders given by the hero, and they have no emotions of their own, just like robots.
But when Fang Xiaoyue was sighing, Rocks had already gone to the bonfire in person. After rummaging for a while, he actually found a bag of gold coins and a bag of crystals!
There are 500 gold coins, which is not a lot, but there are actually 5 crystals!
This made Rocks, the always indifferent undead hero, actually smile!
Well, Fang Xiaoyue also saw the smile of the undead hero in Farmer No. 103's memory, but that smile was basically only shown after capturing other races' cities.
But it's a bit weird that five crystals can make Rocks smile.
But after thinking about it, this is not surprising. The key reason why Tallan City has not been able to promote the Sword Soldier Battalion to a Crusader Barracks so far is that the heroes of Tallan City who went out to fight have never found the location of the crystal mine!
With these 5 crystals, Tallan City can be promoted to the Crusader Barracks, thus directly producing the advanced version of the level 4 unit, the Crusaders!
