Another battle!
With his breastplate, Weed swung his rusted long sword and fought among the skeletons.
At first, he only knew Death Aura but around this area, Balkan’s Undead summon magic Dark Rule was widely spread.
Taking corpses as nourishment, more and more skeletons arose.
“Bone Throw!”
With waves of monsters coming, Weed gained substantial experience. Because this was not some hunting party in a safe dungeon with teammates, you need to look at the whole forest, not a single tree. To obtain a lot, one needs to figure out either the formation of skeletons or monster’s main attack paths.
While busy fighting and picking up items, Weed saw Necromancers players taking an active role with decent achievements. They took out monsters by forming a party among themselves, protecting each other, attacking together. Although their appearances looked all the same, these Necromancers players spent money on almost every rusty equipment in the shop!
When they succeeded driving these monsters out, Weed’s position got promoted. Not only was he able to obtain a bit bigger sword, he picked up a cape.
“It’s going to take a lot of sewing to fix this.”
He didn’t get any hopes up for skeleton equipment. It is impossible for lower rank skeleton to be wearing high class equipment.
But because monsters continuously came to Navir’s wasteland, it was overflowing with monsters.
Monter’s levels varied from late 200 to early 300 and it was well distributed.
Every time he succeeded the quests, he gained decent experience and rewards so it was becoming a better hunting ground for Weed.
Also he was able to get information about Undead Army that went to Morata, which he had vested interest.
“Enough strength to turn human city into a ruin right away.”
“Undeads with about 4 armies’ worth.”
“Sufficient to make sure humans breaths doesn’t touch the great Balkan’s land.”
Relatively well-shaped skeletons talked easily about what he knows.
Their pride as Undead and loyalty to Balkan was extraordinary.
“This is going to be a pain.”
Thinking about all the Undead that went to Morata made him sigh.
According to the skeletons, about 4 armies worth. Then it was going to be approximately 120 thousands Undead. Even though most of them are going to be skeletons or zombies, it’s still huge. Too much army for trying to punish a single individual Weed.
“But Morata will be able to defend.”
They had Sculpture Lifeforms and an army guarding the area. Players will be safe and by the time the Undeads arrive, the Holy Knight from Freya order should be there too. As long as highest rank monsters like Hasilis isn’t coming, it’s fine.
Hasilis who is the same rank as a weakened Balkan, is currently leading battles against united army of dwarves, elves and fairies.
“Undeads are super strong when gathered together, but without a Necromancers to command them, they are bound to fall apart easily. With priest and holy knights at the centre, they will be able to defend.”
Weed was relieved. If Morata turns into ashes by Undeads, he wasn't the only one that would be doomed. Thousands of players will fall all together and the trade network in the northern continent would be destroyed.
Hermes Guild’s combat army stayed more than a day’s distance from the Undead Army. Even for them, keeping a close distance between Undead Army is too risky. They sent a scout to see their movements from an unnoticeable distance.
“So Weed isn’t coming?”
“We haven’t heard from him yet. If he went past, someone would have noticed him.”
“The lord said he hasn’t come out for two days now.”
“Two days… it’s too short to be certain.”
Since he’s class is a sculptor, he could be stuck in a small room making a sculptor, or wandering around continent focusing on his pieces. Leaving straight after the order from the Hermes Guild’s executives, Polon was worried if he was wasting his time as afterwards he heard news about Weed travelling the continent, making sculptures.
After all Weed didn’t have to accept the quest from Undead Army.
