What is a servant who 'voluntarily' becomes an undead servant, and being 'controlled by the undead' to become an undead servant, are two completely different things.
Any high-order undead can arbitrarily coerce other low-order undead to become servants, and naturally, low-order undead must also hand over soul fire fragments.
The law of the undead world has long stipulated that an undead who does not know the undead control technique can have one servant below level 5, two from levels 5 to 10, four from levels 10 to 15, and eight from levels 15 to 20.
When you become a king at level 24, the number of 'voluntary' undead servants you can have will surge to 40... Of course, even a king at level 40 can only have 40 undead servants.
Because the quota is limited, high-order kings will try their best to coerce other low-order kings to submit. How many of those who may become kings have not gone through blood and wind? Therefore, in order to enslave servants, the wars between undead kings are countless...
Cough, cough... The topic is off, let's continue to focus on our protagonist - Mr. Skeleton Mage Andre.
Andre is very proud now.
What does it mean to accept the Skeleton Lord Reid as an unexpected undead servant?
In simple terms, the daily routine of hunting is no longer needed.
Skeleton Lord Reid's lord skill, undead deterrence - it is a simplified version of the undead king's talent 'intimidation'...
Although it is a simplified version that has been weakened many times, the effect of deterrence is not only to make other low-order undead dare not move, but it is also a skill that only a lord has, right?
Take Skeleton Lord Reid, for example. When he exerts deterrence to the fullest, he can completely affect all low-order undead within more than 200 meters and forcibly command them to do anything!
After understanding that Reid has the skill of deterrence, Andre is so happy -
The stupid skeleton lord Reid doesn't know how to exert all the effects of this skill. Now that Andre, who has read the Kashnikov Notes backwards, understands?
Take it now, for example. Andre is sitting on a tombstone with his legs crossed, commanding the poor Skeleton Lord to run around in circles, and the skeletons within more than 200 meters around him are naturally not idle, all becoming laborers.
According to Andre's plan, he wants to expand the skeleton temple in the center of the cemetery into a big fortress.
The skeleton cemetery is a good place!
It is located at the confluence of two rivers, the core area has a barely livable 'palace', there are countless stone tombstones in the cemetery, and there are tens of thousands of skeletons in the cemetery that can be used as laborers at any time...
How could Andre not have the idea of using local materials to build a castle?
Andre's requirements are really not high, just build a stone wall around the entire skeleton cemetery, dig a moat outside the stone wall for protection, and then repair the buildings in the center of the cemetery.
Anyway, the lifespan of the undead is theoretically infinite.
Andre's idea of building a city is not a sudden idea. He is more clear than anyone that he cannot make a sudden progress to level 10 for the time being.
The words of the God of Death Hades have always been buzzing in Andre's ears. If he is not careful and the level goes up, and he hasn't got something that satisfies the God of Death, the God of Death will be in a good mood, it's okay, if he is in a bad mood... Andre thought of the ants he accidentally stepped on when he was a child.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
So Andre pondered, why not delay it first and see?
As a result, the first phase of the basic construction project of the Skeleton Cemetery in the Dry Bone Plain was launched.
In order to slow down the upgrade speed as much as possible, Andre doesn't even eat the soul fire of other undead now. During the day, he works as a foreman, commanding the Skeleton Lord Reid to dismantle the tombstones to build the city wall, and at night, he studies the Kashnikov Notes under the light of the crimson moon, and he is determined not to swallow the soul fire to accumulate energy, only the Yin-Yang fish in the soul fire has been absorbing the crimson moonlight on its own.
Andre's regular skeleton servants don't have any scruples. Under Andre's instigation, they are rampant in the cemetery, doing blatant killings and looting. They see which skeleton has a good soul fire and fight it over. This is not enough. They even take turns to show their unique skills.
Magellan is a powerful one that sucks out the soul fire of the skeleton soldier and swallows it. Andre named it 'Xiuxing Great Law'.
Dagama is waving a pair of metal claws given by Andre, and wherever he passes, the ground is full of skeleton heads with five holes on the top. Andre named it 'Nine Yin White Bone Claw'.
The other skeleton servants are much weaker. They are obviously waving the metal-colored bone axes that Andre easily made, but they still make the scene as obscene as the Japanese entering the village. Andre watched it once and was very disgusted, and named it 'Go and practice before showing off'...
As for the three baby dogs, Andre is thinking about plating their whole body with metal bone grains, so they are all driven to the river to catch metal bone fish, and they have no time to join the other evil servants of the An family.
Now, Andre has encountered a problem. He feels that the original idea of grinding the metal bone fish into metal bone grains and then carefully using the bone regeneration technique to make a metal bone layer to wrap the bones of the dogs is too inefficient. He thinks it would be best to first turn the metal into a liquid, and then figure out how to plate it.
But the problem is, with Andre's current ability, he doesn't know how to liquidate the metal out of thin air, and a king might be able to do it. Use the iron smelting method? Andre took a lot of effort to drill wood to get fire, but the temperature of the fire is not enough at all!
What should I do? Andre looked at the pile of metal fish bones and scratched his head.
"Master, as you required, the city wall as high as me has been built, built well."
Skeleton Lord Reid ran over with a wolf tooth club, reporting that he had completed the task.
It's just a little while, and such a big project has been completed?
Is it possible that Reid also has the ability to build quickly?
Andre followed Reid to the construction site with doubts, and then he understood -
Andre ordered Reid to build a stone wall as high as him, and also planned a wall thickness of five steps. Reid is good, and directly built a stone pillar as thick as him...
Looking at the skeleton workers around the stone pillar who started to rotate unconsciously because they lost their undead deterrence, Andre was full of anger.
Forget it, it's a stone pillar, it's a stone pillar!
With the intelligence of these low-order skeleton soldiers, and with a two hundred and five project leaders, the city wall that has been built for half a month is not as good as a tofu dreg project. It has collapsed seven times in eight builds! This time it's still not bad, at least it hasn't collapsed, right?
"Just follow what you have built now, build a stone pillar every hundred meters! Then I will take you to cut some tree stakes and tie them on..."
Andre bit down and completely shrank the idea of building a stone city that he originally wanted into a fence.
"As ordered, master -"
Skeleton Lord Reid nodded and bowed, then turned and ran, but after running two steps, he came back and conveyed a puzzled consciousness to Andre.
"Respected master, how far is a hundred meters?"
A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin after all, and he doesn't even know how far a hundred meters is. Andre casually replied with consciousness and wanted to explain -
"A hundred meters is..."
Andre suddenly couldn't speak, a hundred meters?! There is no unit called a hundred meters in this skeleton world!
There is no unit of a hundred meters... That is to say, many of the taken-for-granted ideas in his original world are not applicable here!
So this means that the law, in fact, is not as unattainable as he thought, maybe he can also...
Andre no longer cared to answer the puzzled Skeleton Lord, and he flipped through the Kashnikov Notes.
...
"Master, a hundred meters..."
Skeleton Lord Reid, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but continue to ask. He really wanted to know.
With a snap, Andre closed the notebook, and then walked to the tall stone pillar made of tombstones, and took a big step forward. Pointing to his feet, Andre conveyed a clear consciousness to the Skeleton Lord -
"See clearly, the distance I walk a hundred steps like this is a hundred meters!"
Watching his master walk into the wind and stride far away, Skeleton Lord Reid had an irresistible thought -
Master, his... his... walking posture... is so ugly.
(Well, well - I originally wanted to write that Andre, for the first time, understood the principle of the law, and the king's air was all over the place, and the poor Skeleton Lord knelt down in worship... but who knew that the more I wrote, the more it became like this, hey...)
