Then, he added the Strategic Attribute he had obtained from leveling up to Vitality, making it more resistant to damage.
With soldiers in hand, Lin Xiao's courage grew. He wondered if he should enter the ruins at night and fight the undead head-on.
However, when he thought of how easily his subordinates were swept away, his confidence dropped.
Normal Specters were only Level 3 soldiers, but they seemed to be greatly buffed in this historical remnant. Their combat strength was incredibly strong, and ordinary Skeletons were instantly killed by the Specters. Although 800 Skeletons seemed like a lot, they could not take more than a few hits.
He felt that he should leave this map for now. He should leave this place and gather some strength before returning to explore this map.
He left as soon as he said he would. He immediately called for his team to leave the ruins and head towards the forest.
The ruins of the city were located at the edge of the forest. The trees became sparser and sparser. There were many wild beasts, but when they saw the 800 skeletons, they all scattered and fled. Occasionally, a powerful beast dared to attack, but it was naturally surrounded and killed.
Unknowingly, they had passed through the forest. Lin Xiao stood at the top of a lonely tree at the edge of the forest and looked ahead. He saw a wasteland full of weeds that were half a man's height. In the distance, there seemed to be a settlement surrounded by wooden fences. There were many simple tents inside, and many humanoid creatures were busy in the settlement.
He quietly approached alone. Through observation, he found that these were humanoid creatures called big-eared monsters.
The big-eared monsters were about 1.5 meters tall, and their strength was not much different from a human's. Their skin was green, and their ears were very large. This was probably the origin of their name. They lived in a tribe.
At this time, a strange knocking sound came from afar. A large beastman caravan came from afar. A large number of big-eared monsters in the tribe went up to the caravan to trade.
Lin Xiao looked at them and felt that they weren't easy to communicate with. Moreover, these big-eared monsters didn't seem to have much to gain from killing them. He gave up his original plan and returned to lead the skeletons around the big-eared monster tribe and continued forward.
From his observation, the caravan came along a road that was not very obvious. Obviously, the caravan came here often. If he followed the road, he would probably find the civilization of this world.
After taking a long detour, he didn't find the road he had taken earlier. Instead, he saw another road that was blocked by tall weeds.
This road was paved with stones, so it should be a very important official road. He randomly picked a direction and walked forward. A large group of skeletons walked on the road, looking quite horrifying.
But not long after, something even more surprising happened. After walking along the official road for a while, when he came to a high slope and was about to reach the top, he saw a large white light rising from behind the slope. It quickly crossed the high slope and stopped less than a meter in front of Lin Xiao. If it went a little further, it would touch him.
Lin Xiao raised his head. Through this layer of transparent light, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be some kind of creature inside this white light area with a diameter of about a hundred meters. At the same time, a notification box formed by clear light appeared in front of him. It read:
"You have discovered a newly spawned spearmen camp. Do you wish to explore it?"
"Spearmen's camp? Does that mean there's a nest? "
Lin Xiao reacted immediately and was eager to give it a try.
However, he didn't rush in immediately. First, he led his subordinates to circle the area covered by the white light.
Just as he circled to the other side, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind.
"Wait a minute."
He turned around and saw a team of lizardmen rushing over under the lead of a lizardman hero riding a large lizard. The hero waved from afar and spoke in human language.
"Your Excellency Human Hero, can we explore this camp together?"
Lin Xiao frowned. He raised his head and saw that there were two other teams behind the lizardman hero. His eyes flickered slightly. He suddenly turned around and crashed into the white light curtain. His entire body instantly merged into it. The skeletons under his command also turned into gray light and merged into the light curtain at the moment he disappeared.
The lizardmen who had sped up saw this and pulled the large lizard to a stop. Their faces were full of disappointment.
The other two teams caught up and stopped not far away from the lizard team. One of them was a human hero with a hundred and eighty spearmen, twenty or so archers, and five swordsmen in heavy armor and wielding swords. The other was a goblin hero with nearly three hundred goblins.
The three heroes stood side by side. The lizardman hero punched the large lizard under him and sighed.
"Damn it, it was snatched away."
The other two heroes also looked vexed.
At this time, the goblin hero suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Although the enemy has a lot of skeletons, they are all Undead.
"Although that undead hero has a lot of subordinates, they are all Level 1 skeletons. All of us combined are stronger than him. Even if he manages to pass through this camp, he will definitely suffer some losses. We can wait for him to come out and snatch the loot."
The other two heroes' eyes flickered. After a while, they nodded.
"I think so."
While they were discussing how to besiege the enemy, Lin Xiao had already appeared outside a huge camp.
From the outside, this mirage of the pikemen's camp only had a diameter of 100 meters. However, after entering, one would find themselves in a huge space. A huge camp was located on a wasteland. As soon as Lin Xiao appeared, he was discovered by the sentries on the sentry tower at the camp gate. Along with the sound of a long bugle horn, a large number of pikemen wearing leather armor poured out of the tents in the camp and formed a defensive formation at the camp gate.
Lin Xiao raised his head and looked into the distance. There were about 300 spearmen in the camp. Most of them were rookies, and many of them were veterans. There were also a dozen elite spearmen in full chainmail armor. There was no stronger leader.
There was nothing to say. Let's fight.
He waved his hand and more than 800 skeletons rushed to the camp gate without any order. They fought with the spearmen guarding the gate.
Lin Xiao did not watch the show. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the camp, knocking down the spearmen with a punch.
With a hero like him personally taking action, the skeletons outnumbered the spearmen by three times. Victory was inevitable. Soon, the ground was covered with corpses.
Then, when less than half of the spearmen were dead, some of them suddenly surrendered. Then, more and more spearmen put down their weapons and surrendered.
"You have obtained a glorious victory. Points + 50."
"The guards of the spearmen's camp surrendered in fear of your strength. You have obtained 142 spearmen."
"You have taken down the spearmen's camp. You have ten minutes to plunder the camp."
Time was a little tight. Lin Xiao quickly rushed into the camp and rushed into the tent at the edge. In less than half a minute, he came out of the tent with a spearmen card in his hand. The tent suddenly became transparent and disappeared.
Then, he quickly took out the spearmen cards from the other tents in the camp. There were 12 of them in total. Finally, he came to the stone building in the center of the camp. It was the spearmen's camp. He found a spearmen's camp fragment inside. 2,000 gold coins, 20 pieces of wood, and 20 pieces of ore.
The resources were okay, but the spearmen's camp fragment made him speechless. This thing required ten fragments to form a spearmen's camp.
A camp was also a monster's nest or a troop type's nest. It was just that they had different names.
After looting everything, the huge campsite became empty. Just as Lin Xiao was about to leave, he suddenly had a thought. With a flip of his hand, twelve Spearman Cards appeared in his hand. He glanced up and reached out to grab them. The cards disappeared.
His mind appeared in the space of the Tesseract of Fortune. Looking at the twelve Spearman Cards suspended in the space, his mind moved, and two of the Spearman Cards collapsed and turned into two clear lights. Under the urging of his mind, they merged into one, and the clear light became slightly brighter. Then …
"Enhance!"
Between combining more spearmen cards and fusing them to enhance into a more powerful spearman, he chose the latter.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fused clear light reshaped into a new spearman card.
He immediately checked the card's attributes and smiled as expected.
"Not bad!"
It was still the most basic spearman card. It could only summon 100 spearmen. However, because of the fusion of the two cards, the spearmen summoned were no longer recruits but veterans.
Since that was the case, his eyes fell on the remaining ten spearmen cards and he continued to enhance five veteran cards in the same way as before.
Including the first veteran card, there were six veteran cards in total. He fused them again in pairs and obtained three elite spearmen cards as expected.
At this point, he reached the limit of card fusion. It was not to say that he had reached the upper limit of the troop class's experience. It was because the lower level of the elite troop class was the elite troop class. This could not be fused and could only be upgraded through battle experience.
The elite spearmen's weapons were chainmail and a sharp steel spear. At the same time, their physical fitness was much stronger than the veterans. Their Constitution and Strength were about 2 points. Coupled with their rich combat experience, they were the best even in the second-level troop class.
Lin Xiao thought about it and kept the 300 elite spearmen. He was going to summon them when the skeleton cannon fodder was almost dead.
There were still more than 700 cannon fodder. It would be a waste to disband them directly.
Anyway, he was not going to use these undead cannon fodder until the end. No matter what world it was, controlling the undead was a character that everyone hated. He did not want a living person to bring a group of undead around every day. It would be terrible if he was mistaken as a necromancer.
He moved out of the spearmen's camp.
From the perspective of the three heroes outside, the spearmen's camp suddenly became transparent. They knew that the camp had been taken down. The three teams spread out in three different directions and waited for the enemy.
When the camp completely disappeared, Lin Xiao and his subordinates appeared. The three heroes immediately launched an attack on him.
The first wave was made up of dozens of arrows shot by the Human Archers and rocks thrown by the Goblin Catapults. The rocks hit the skeletons and sent bone fragments flying. Then, a total of five to six hundred Lizardmen, Gunners, and Goblins swarmed forward.
Lin Xiao's response was naturally to fight them head-on. He was still thinking about how to use up these skeleton cannon fodder. Now, the opportunity had come.
Ten minutes later, the three heroes fled with the remaining skeletons. Lin Xiao looked at the remaining 500 skeletons and fell into deep thought.
His battle attribute and talent boosted the skeletons too much. He could not defeat the three heroes even if they surrounded him.
There was no other way. He could only give up.
After a short rest, he continued along the road.
Not long after, he came to a three-way intersection. There was a signboard at the intersection. The signboard on the road he came from said "Undead Ruins." The signboard on the road to the right said "Savage City." The signboard on the road to the left said "Glory City."
