Chapter 480: Chapter 414, Heading to the Desolate Battlefield_1

The aura spread and the amplification effect of the Viscera Jar came into play.

Next, they were to test some effects, ensuring that the Skeleton Warriors would not harm other soldiers when using this ability.

Stepping out of the city gates, they selected a piece of open land.

Fang Hao summoned 1,000 Skeleton Warriors, each armed with a sword and a shield.

A perfect square formation was formed by the orderly ranks.

Someone was instructed to set up some practice targets 500 meters away from the square formation, after which everyone else retreated to a safe distance.

Fang Hao directly issued an order to the formation of Skeleton Warriors, “Targets 500 meters ahead, initiate Thunderbolt Strike.”

1,000 Skeleton Warriors each summoned a sparkly lightning spear.

They targeted the targets 500 meters away and hurled their spears.

The Thunderbolt Javelins traced an arc in the air and hit with a bang!

1,000 Thunderbolt Javelins thoroughly covered the entire target area. Apart from the immediate damage dealt by the Javelins, an area of effect damage due to the spread of electricity also occurred.

Blue sparks spread out in all directions, covering a large area.

The effect that Fang Hao was worried about – the potential friendly fire – did not happen. After throwing the Thunderbolt Javelins, not a single one of the 1,000 Skeleton Warriors was injured accidentally.

The square formation maintained their standing position, standing by.

“Set the target at 200 meters.” Fang Hao continued to give orders.

The earlier targets 500 meters away had already been shattered in the Thunderbolt Strike.

New targets were brought in and set up 200 meters in front of the formation of Skeleton Warriors.

Once everyone had retreated to a safe distance and the Thunderbolt Strike ability had cooled down, Fang Hao issued another order, “Objects 200 meters ahead, Thunderbolt Strike.”

The 1,000 Skeleton Warriors summoned their Thunderbolt Javelins again, hurling them at the targets 200 meters away.

Due to the distance, the front rows of the Skeleton Warriors had landed their Thunderbolt Javelins on the targets.

The ones at the back, having to avoid the ones in front, threw their Javelins in a larger arc, causing some deviation in their aim.

But one thing was certain, the current Skeleton Warriors did not have the ability to think independently yet.

However, they would avoid causing friendly fire during combat.

Fang Hao was very satisfied with this. He had plenty of soldiers, and even if the hit rate was not high,

In large-scale battles, full-coverage bombing could completely replace accuracy.

“Alright, return to your posts.”

Fang Hao instructed the 1,000 Skeleton Warriors to return to their respective positions.

He himself, contented, returned to the Viscera Museum.

Nelson was still standing at the door, giving instructions to the Priests about the items and work to be prepared.

Currently, two corpses of Trolls were still stored in the Viscera Museum.

One of them was Rockhead-Bagath, the other was Meatfist-Kaius.

Nelson had just returned and had to continue working to turn these two corpses into Skeleton Heroes.

Even though the weather was gradually turning cold now.

The corpses still needed to be treated and dried as quickly as possible.

Seeing Fang Hao’s return, Nelson asked, “My lord, how was the effect?”

“The effect was very good. This Viscera Jar would be considered top-tier even if it were in the Trade Alliance.” Fang Hao replied with a smile.

“As long as my Lord is satisfied.”

Nelson would not offer any suggestions or proposals about the planning and decisions of the territory unless Fang Hao asked him.

All decisions were made by Fang Hao himself.

Moreover, currently, every time Nelson came out of his closed-door practice,

The strength of the territory would significantly increase, something he was quite satisfied with Fang Hao for.

He was even amazed sometimes at the speed of Fang Hao’s growth.

Therefore, Nelson’s loyalty remained stable and never decreased.

“Scholar Nelson, there is no need to rush with work, you can take a two-day break occasionally.” Fang Hao added.

The territory currently had a certain level of self-defense ability.

Nelson didn’t need to work non-stop in the Viscera Museum to create Skeleton Heroes as he did before.

Fang Hao, in fact, hoped that Nelson could balance work and rest, maybe play chess with others sometime, avoiding high-intensity work.

“Thank you for your concern, My Lord. With the help of the Funeral Team, my workload has been cut by more than half.” Nelson nodded.

The auxiliary work was handed over to the Funeral Team, which indeed lightened Nelson’s workload.

“Hmm, tell me if you need anything, or have Doujin directly purchase it from the Trade Alliance.”

“Very well, my Lord.”

At this point, the Priest had brought over some materials.

Nelson once again saluted, then led a few Priests directly up the stairs to the second floor.

Simultaneously, a few others picked up the dried corpse of Bagath and carried it upstairs.

Nelson started working upstairs.

Fang Hao, in the meantime, placed the replaced [Revival] Viscera Jar into the slot of the [Ancient Burial Pit].

…

Another day passed.

The army of two million led by Black Sword arrived at its destination after a day and night of travel.

When Dong Jiayue was awakened by her attendant, and she stumbled up the city wall,

Seeing the endless, undulating White Bone Army outside the city,

She stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the approaching army.

The city’s alarm bells had already been rung, and all the city’s defenders ascended the city walls, watching the approaching army with trembling legs.

At this moment, a Bone Horse slowly came to a halt beneath the city gates.

A pig-headed human, fully armed, sat on the Bone Horse.

He pulled off the mask cover his nose and mouth and said loudly, “Who is Miss Dong Jiayue? We are a team from North Town. Sir Black Sword invites Miss Dong Jiayue over.”
