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 about how his subordinates had been swept away like dry weeds, his confidence began to waver.
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 a while and leave this place to gather some strength before coming back 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 as they went out. There were many wild beasts, but when they saw the 800 skeletons, they all scattered and fled. Occasionally, there were powerful beasts that dared to attack, but they were all 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 the 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, and many of the big-eared monsters in the tribe went up to trade with the caravan.
Lin Xiao looked at them and felt that they were not easy to communicate with. Moreover, these big-eared monsters didn't seem to have much to gain from killing them. He gave up on his original plan and led the skeletons to go around the big-eared monsters' tribe and continued forward.
From his observation, the caravan came along a road that was not very obvious because of the weeds. Obviously, the caravan came here often. If he followed the road, he might be able to 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.
But he didn't rush in immediately. First, he led his subordinates around 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 Lizardman 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 who was rushing over. His eyes flickered slightly. He suddenly turned around and crashed into the white light curtain. His whole 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 two teams behind caught up and stopped not far away from the Lizardmen team. One of them was a Human Hero with 180 spearmen and more than 20 archers. There were also five Swordsmen wearing heavy armor and holding swords. The other was a Goblin Hero with nearly 300 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 that Undead Hero has many subordinates, they are all Level 1 Skeletons. We are stronger than him together. Even if he passes through this camp, he will definitely suffer some losses. We can wait for him to come out and snatch it."
The other two Heroes' eyes flickered. After a while, they nodded.
"I think so."
While they were discussing how to besiege, 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 long sound of a 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. There were about 300 spearmen in the camp. Most of them were new recruits, and there were many 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 the spearmen suddenly surrendered. Then, one after another, the spearmen put down their weapons and surrendered.
"You have obtained a glorious victory. Points + 50."
"The guards of the spearmen camp were afraid of your strength and surrendered. You have obtained 142 spearmen."
"You have taken down the spearmen 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 camp. He found a spearmen camp fragment inside. 2,000 gold coins, 20 pieces of wood, and 20 pieces of ore.
The resources were okay, but this spearmen camp fragment made him speechless. This thing required ten fragments to form a spearmen 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 the two Spearman Cards disintegrated into two rays of clear light. Under the urging of his mind, the two rays of clear light merged into one. The clear light became slightly brighter, and 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 10 spearmen cards. 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 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 far stronger than the veterans. Their Constitution and Strength were about 2 points. Coupled with their rich combat experience, they were the best even among the second-level troop classes.
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 to bring a group of undead around every day. It would be terrible if he was mistaken as a necromancer.
He moved his mind and left the spearmen's camp.
In the eyes 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 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 face 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 were too terrifying for the skeletons. 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 to move forward along the main road.
Soon, he came to a three-way junction. There was a sign at the junction. The sign on the road he came from said "Undead Ruins." Turn right.
