Jonathan looks at the mountain of wood logs in front of him with a smile. He is impressed at his ability and excited. He quickly returns to his house and says.
"Manage"
He presses the [Building] section and decides to build the summoning altar first.
[Summoning Altar] [Level 1]
[Requirement: 20 Woods]
He smiles a little and immediately presses the build button. A second later, a hologram appeared in front of him. This hologram shows his territory and the building he wants to build. He put the summoning altar near his house and pressed the build button.
He looks to the side and sees an altar appear next to his house. He leaves the house and approaches the altar. A panel appears when he gets close enough, and he stops to read it.
[Skeleton Altar (Undead Faction)] [Level: 1]
{An altar that lets the Lord summon their followers. This altar enables the lord to summon Undead Minion.}
|List of Summonable Creatures|
|Bone Servant (★) = 0 / 10|
Jonathan smiles and presses the summon button. He watches as ten skeletons appear in front of him.
[Bone Servant (★)]
{The weakest type of undead that only serves as servants rather than warriors. They can be used as one, but not as effective.}
[Race Attributes: Undead, Skeleton Undead, and Unholy Creature]
[Innate Ability: Gathering Mastery (★)]
He blinks at the list in front of him and reads them one by one.
[Undead]
{This type of troop is already dead, unable to have morale, emotions, and also immunity to poison, disease, blindness, and mind magic.}
That is great. That immunity is great for exploring a swamp or something along that line.
[Skeleton Undead]
{This type of troop gains 30% resistance against Cut and Stab attacks but gets a 50% damage penalty against Blunt attacks}
Hmmm… This might be a problem. I don't know what kind of monsters are attacking him, but a blunt attack is the easiest type of attack to encounter. Slamming your body can be considered a blunt attack. He needs to be careful about this attribute.
[Unholy Creature]
{As an unholy creature, the undead will receive 200% damage from any holy attack but get a 200% attack boost against any Holy Creature.}
And this is another problem for him. Other races can use Holy Attack, but he doesn't know how common Holy Creatures are. That means many people can hurt his undead, but his undead do not get any bonus fighting against those people except a few. He wonders if he can reduce the weakness. He shakes his head and looks at the notification when he summons his first skeletons.
[10,000 Times Boost activated! Summoning 100,000 Bone Servants!]
I look at the army of bones appearing after a bright light, and Jonathan cannot help but laugh. However, he is not done.
"Merge them all!"
His power activates, and all his skeletons shine once again. After a few seconds, only a thousand and ten skeletons were left. One thousand is the upgraded version, while the last ten are still Bone Servants.
[Skeletal Worker(★★)]
{A good worker for any lord. They are as durable as the weakest undead fighter.}
[Race Attributes: Undead, Skeleton Undead, and Unholy Creature]
[Innate Ability: Gathering Mastery (★★), and Heavy Load (★)]
"One hundred skeletons for one upgraded version of it, huh? That is great. Merge them once again!"
Like before, the skeletons are engulfed with light, and their form changes again. Ten skeletons come out of the light, and Jonathan looks at them with a grin on his face. The skeleton is now two and a half meters tall and wearing leather armor. They look more scary now.
[Undead Great Worker (★★★)]
{This undead gains the blessing from the abyss and makes any place it works to yield more goods.}
[Race Attributes: Undead, Skeleton Undead, and Unholy Creature]
[Innate Ability: Gathering Mastery (★★★), Heavy Load (★★), and Yield Increase (★)]
He presses all the innate abilities of his new worker and reads them.
[Gathering Mastery (★★★)]
{Increase the speed of gathering material from the wild or farm by 70%}
"A simple but effective skill."
[Heavy Load (★★)]
{Increase how heavy the skeleton can carry by 50%. Stack with carriage effect.}
"I wonder how much a carriage boosts the load."
[Yield Increase (★)]
{Increase the yield of all farms, husbandry, or mines this unit works at by 5%}
"And another simple but powerful ability."
Jonathan grins at the list of abilities his undead have. With this, he does not need to worry about the gathering. However, there is one thing he needs to do for now. He walks to his shack, opens the territory management, and then presses the [Craft] section.
"Let's see… No sword or any other weapons, huh? Urgh. It looks like I need a blueprint to craft them. I need to get them from the treasure chest, huh? It looks like I need to use the wooden axe and pickaxe."
He crafts more pickaxes using the woods he has and takes all of them out of his house. He looks at the undead and says.
"Take these. Also, take the axes on that pile. We will explore the area and harvest all the things we need."
==||==
Jonathan looks at the massive stone quarry in front of him with a smile.
"Alright! You five! Start mining! Make sure to take the stones back to our base, okay? The rest of you, follow me. We will chop off the tree."
Like what is written on the website, there are stone quarries and iron mines near his territory. He does not know if there are more, but he will try to search for more stuff later. He needs to create a path between his base and the quarry for now.
While he and his undead are chopping the trees, something catches his attention. He looks to the side and sees seven goblins coming out of the bush. They are holding crude knives and wearing loincloths.
They release a war cry and charge at him and his undead. Jonathan is about to defend himself but his undead take action before he can do anything. They leap toward the goblins and beat them to death with their fist.
After a couple of minutes, he even feels pity toward the goblins because in the last few seconds of their lives, he can hear them crying.
When they are dead, he looks at his undead and says,
"You guys are powerful, but that was brutal. I approve, but that is brutal. I need time to get used to it."
They do not answer as he expected. He shakes his head and walks toward the corpses because he sees a gold exclamation mark above the corpses. As he stands next to them, a notification appears in front of him.
[You killed a Goblin! Do you want to claim your kill?]
He presses the yes button and sees his loot from the goblin his undead killed.
[Congratulations! You get +1 Goblin's Teeth and +1 Goblin's Eye]
He reads through the description of the loot and hums a little.
"A material for weapons and potions, huh? However, I need to search for the blueprint first."
He shakes his head.
"Let's focus on the territory first instead of hunting. We can do that later."
