Having a name like Lauras skeleton can have its disadvantages. If I was called the destroyer of hope, I bet the necromancer guild would not have these annoying meetings. Veronica was trying to have Ratty a chief minion wear me down. He was going over and over the same point again and again. “You can not just break someones jaw in three places and then not pay him compensation. He is in the guild”
Ratty got on explaining yet again. “We would like to move for a independent inquiry with someone other than Ronan in charge. ” If I had a head i would have scratched it
Ratty nodded “Worth a shot. OK back to the whole we are pulling out bit. That black goo you have begun to produce has major mana regeneration capacities. This is a perfect place to mass produce it so why are you leaving” Ratty turned pale “Wait what army are we talking about here?”

Cold touch this skeleton touch deals extra cold damage
extra tough ice this skeleton ice is extra thick making it very hard to damage with physical weapons
With veronica help i raised 50 of the standard ice skeleton and 25 greater ice skeletons. If all else failed i was going to lead them in a assault against the good paladins and fight my way free. Or possible fall. I had enough magic for a couple of spells still. Time to get ready.
For weeks I have been summoning skeletons and having them planted under the ground. The ground kept the sun at bay. There were about five hundred skeletons buried in the ground. They would have about a half a hour to kill about 300 paladins. Of course 300 paladins would maul 3000 skeletons in a normal battle. There prayers and ability to turn undead and smite undead would under normal circumstances have my skeletons ground into the dirt.
Ronan was hardly a genius about his sort of combat. But he known enough decent commanders to pick up a few tricks. The good Paladins were rushing into a place that on paper could be taken by a old blind paladin. If they got careless we would win easily. If not well i was going to take as many of them with me as i could.
The start of the battle went very well for us. The paladin knights coming out of the rising sun were all killed or captured with no loss to our troops. I watched from inside Laura mind. Ronan was quite certain the Paladins would hunt laura down if we did not win. So I placed her on a undead horse and put her as the center piece of this battle. If everything turned out badly i would hit the paladins from the rear and flee with Laura. Not that I was planing on failing. I really hoped the handful of squires i had to help out could also flee if everything turned out badly.
Laura was on her giant skeleton steed surrounded by ten giant skeleton abominations. She had 200 skeleton archers. That was it as far as the paladins were concerned. All of the skeletons had been wrapped in a gauze. This made them immune to sunlight. I had todd spit some of that disease spray of his all over the skeletons. Now they all had diseased skeleton archers name. Two had the diseased and corrupt skeleton archers tag. I had adsorbed those last night. I had gained nothing but my black right hand veins had spread a bit further.
It took about three hours for the rest of the paladins to march over the hill. They were not in order and looked like they were out for a stroll. I found out later the first batch to attack us had left without eating breakfast so as to avoid sharing any loot they found with the rest.
The entire paladin force except for a few old high priests charged right at Laura without even the horn blast that normally should have been heard. They rushed ahead in a uneven line which actually helped them avoid the pit traps. It did not help them avoid the arrows or stones the giant skeletons threw.
I felt Ronan in my mind urging me into battle early and i complied. My troops rushed onto the field as the ground exploded skeletons. They were armed with ten or twenty very badly made Javelins. They did not even have bags for these wooden sticks with rocks attached to the end. What they did have were about 5000 – 10000 of the badly made javelins against a enemy which was not in a great position and reeling from suffering mayor losses.
I had to pull back from Laura mind as i activated terrifying presence and rushed with my ice skeletons to slow down the Paladins. I reached out with my mind to coordinate all the skeletons and cast light flames on the greater ice skeletons claws. I have to admit the blue flames that seemed to flow around the skeletons were pretty bad ass.
Skeleton Sargent title gained.
skeleton Sargent title changed to skeleton captain
skeleton captain title changed to skeleton commander.
Aura of terror gained
Ghost and spirit summoning now possible
I released some wailing spirits just to keep all attention on me and let loose with my most powerful large range attack. Fifteen large ice spears raced at the biggest clump of knights. Only about ten hit but if they hit they sailed right threw some hit a second paladin.
The Paladins then did something monumentally stupid instead of focusing on me or the archer skeletons they began to attack the skeletons that had just come out of the ground. It was a stupid move as the skeletons who had been in the ground were even now beginning to weaken under the sun.
Laura got on top of her horse and showed the knights her arse. “NEE NEE I beat you. You got beaten up by a ten year old girl” her magically amplified voice rang out over the field of battle. Suddenly a arrow appeared in Laura ass. “Agh you shot me with a arrow in my ass. You shot a twelve year old in the backside with a arrow. Aggh you suck”
I targeted the one Paladin with a bow and unleashed a cold ray which covered him and his horse in a layer of ice. Those that were alive surrendered. Of the sixty that surrendered there were about twenty one left alive at the end of the day Todds poison really did its job.
The Ten or so older high priests rolled moved forward and i watched a volley of arrows simply stop in the air in front of them. One of them raised his hands and the skeleton archer ranks simply exploded.
I reached out and all the skeleton armed with javelins began to run at the clerics. The first Javelins impaled a high priests horse. The skeleton archers released another volley of arrows which hit the invisible shield again. The rocks the giant skeletons threw smashed into the clerics. I decided I would really need to know what had happened. Those arrows were not meant to have enough death energy in them to be stopped by a holy circle of protection.

Good Gods ire increased
I went in search of Ronan who was sitting on a screaming Laura “They shot me in the ass. Just let me break a few of there bones. Maybe cut off a finger or toe.” I showed Ronan the hoard notification. He nodded and a quick prayer later I got a notification.
Horde starting now notification sent to shaman and higher level Monsters. Basic horde objectives raise a large force and smash Good gods temples and strongholds. For each act of destruction the dark gods will give dark points. If the horde manages to conquer a good area that area can be converted to dark at one tenth of normal price. If you and Laura die the horde will be disbanded. The gods of order and good will attempt to eliminate you and Laura. Dark point cost 100,000
Ronan then gave Laura clear instructions. “Get the skeletons loaded onto the boat you set off now. We hit the local churches while they are in disarray. I and your skeleton have to stay here to raise as many undead as we can. You need to lead a raiding party. Hit the Monastery just unleash your skeletons and have them fire fire arrows at the place. The sailors will loot the place and bring back back anything of value.
As not all the skeleton archers could fit on board they guarded the surviving prisoners and gathered up all the bodies and loot. First we had summon a dungeon heart 16000 dark points. Then i was instructed to use the dungeon heart to read the cost of things
Rat horde 100 dark points
Bat horde 200 dark points very untrustworthy
Goblin child lower rank 35 dark points
Goblin hobgoblin lower rank 350 points 3 available
Goblin hobgoblin shaman Sara 200 dark point + assistance clearing human lord Jeffery out of his castle quest cost 1000 dark
additional Goblin clan lordship can be purchased with the defeat of Jeffery

54000 after the total defeat of Jeffery no aid from
goblin clans 12 hobgoblins 125 standard goblins 74 goblin children.

Orc warrior 350 dark points
Orc horde 35 orc warriors plus chief 45000
Dark knights 25 available cost 1000 to 100000

Ronan will assist you in defeating the forces of good. Warning Ronan has mixed loyalties.
Comes with the service of 3 dark paladins, 1 higher dark priestess
12 dark squires will be transferred into Lauras service.
Dark demons cost range 5000 -> 100,000,000
As Fame of Horde increases other offers maybe made. I had 88050 dark points. Time to get summoning. First I purchased Ronan option and the spider and the rat horde help. 81950 dark points left. Then i purchased the goblins Sara and her quest. I would have liked to have purchased the Orcs and have them clear out lord Jeffery but i needed the points for dark demons summoning. I had bodies i could infuse the spirits into 7 of the higher priests. Of course the spirits i needed were expensive. So I had to spent 50000 dark points summoning a greater wrath Spirit. To be fair the wrath would really help me out by controlling and guarding my new dungeon heart but the cost still hurt.
The almost the last of my dark points went to Sara 12000. She would keep them if we failed in our quest to rid the valley of Lord Jeffery. I used the remaining 750 dark points to get the option to summon one Mummy and one greater Mummy from the high priests body.
Then we got down to the extremely hard ceremony to summon a greater Wrath into our selected body.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Veronica did the circle we would need. Then we put the body inside the circle and i kept a constant stream of magic as Ronan and a the dark paladins chanted. The body began to quiver and rose into the air. In total it took six hours of chanting until the greater Wrath was inside the body.
Witchlord Greater Wrath level 375 hp 4386
A vicious spirit summoned from the dark void. Very powerful sorcerer. Very violent and hard to control.
Ronan nodded “Well you give us a month to prove ourselves Wrath. If at the end of that we have not we can all walk away from this.” The wrath's eyes glowed in the darkness. “There are 2 others of my kind that i would see walk this word as well. Summon us all and we will be loyal”
I made a motion to the 4 greater priests that had not been used yet.
Greater Wrath is now slightly loyal and disciplined.
“I will need a paladins body instead.”
Somehow the Wrath's voice sounded excited.
I checked the dungeon heart for updates and blinked i had several.

Additional skills are now purchasable for you and your minions
You may now speak to Sara Mind to mind cost 100 Dark points duration of contact 1 hour one time only gift from god of pure evil.
Accept
yes no
I reached out with my mind and hit yes
Sara>Hello chief I received the notification as well. The Goblin chiefs are all in agreement. Your our new head chief. We are all grateful. I have set up a Dark church in one of our caves. We are in need of a few monster trainers. Also a couple of clerics would not go astray.
Me> Ok I suppose i can send some good your way however if you suddenly decide to elect a new high chief. I am sending in my greater Wrath. Bear in mind a shamans power might effect a undead. But it will do so at a far lower level than a clerics. If I am to invest the level of support you are asking for, we are going to need to get some things straight beforehand. I will send you some basic support and when they report back you will get the rest
Sara> Your the boss we are eager to get started. So do you want us to ambush Lord Jeffery. I have no doubt he will seek to return in force. Also I think we should burn down his Castle.
Me>Why not take the castle. You man it with Goblins and I will have a few Dark paladins Move in.
One second I better ask Ronan his advice
Ronan advice was simple “You can create a dark quest rob Jeffery. The local bandits will think Jeffery is moving something valuable and be all over him. We get rid of the local human bandits. Who most likely would get a pardon from the forces of good in exchange for attacking you. We also weaken Jeffery a lot. Just set it up so that Sara can launch the quest. I will show you how. ”
Ronan scratched his head “Also i will to check the monster trainer bit there might be a way to spend some dark points to get a good one. So do not spend any and i will have a few trainers sent.”
I reached out with my mind again
status> contacts > contact Sara goblin shaman
Me> I am back so listen. I will create a dark quest you set it off once Jeffery leave the castle. Give him a halve a hour have your goblins take the castle and then use the quest. Hopefully the human bandits will take care of our problem for us. Well release the quest when you feel is best so the bandits have enough time to hit the Jeffery. But Jeffery does not have enough time to hole up in his castle
Sara>Your the best master.
Goblin chiefs loyalty highly unloyal -> Somewhat loyal
Your plan has few costs and nets the goblins a lot. They feel you are a sneaky backstabber and can respect that.
Goblins gain greedy attribute
Goblins are now more loyal as they feel having the Humans kill other humans a great idea. They also are greedy for weapons and outside skills. They will now be less likely to rebel at least until get the new weapons and skills
I turned to the crystal heart and felt a burning presence
God of light> Listen toe rag i am cursing you. I steal all your dark points and horde points. So take that. Ha i am also going to use them to put assassins on your trail. Prepare to die loser
God of pure evil>Well your doing well. I will also curse you. Lets see this is a good one. Curse of darkness. Haha ha am i a genius or what.
God of evil>Keep up the good work and i will give you a sweet ability as well
me>how about a cap level increase
god of evil>Sure thing just earn 100000 dark points in the next two days
me>how about three
God of evil>Sure but there is no way your going to be able to do that ha ha
God of pure evil>Your a idiot of a god anyway get started. You do not have long.
God of evil>How is he going to get 100000 dark points in three days?
Me>Well first i earn 1000 then i set up the ambush on lord Jeffery. The ambush earns me points. Say 10000 – 15000. Also the paladins are toast and i can summon massive armies of skeletons.
God of evil>great i will give bonuses for destruction of light gods churches.
God of light> Just try it I still have plenty of priests.
Me>Watch me. Also quick question whats up with greater wrath boy. For a being who is massively more powerful than me he took the whole your my minion a bit to easily.
Mia Goddess of harmony>beware him he seeks your doom
Me>Yeah well got to go.
Mia Goddess of harmony>Wait your ignoring me i am a Goddess of harmony and
Me>I know who you are i also know you hate undead. So stuff it where the sun does not shine.
Mia Goddess of harmony>my heroes are coming to kill you and banish that witchlord back to the void he crawled out of.
Me>Good to know
I starred at the Witchlord
Ronan coughed “Well i might want to stay and help the Witchlord”

Letter from Laura
Ok so you know you said go and burn a few shrines down. I was doing that when one of the dark palidin paladins a was with said there was a monastery around. Jessica said with the Good paladins gone she could almost take the place herself. So we kind of had a couple of fire arrows launched at the place. It went up nicely.
Then Jessica told us we should march into Carnsfort and capture it in the name of the gods of evil. I wanted to go home and have Jessica spank Suzie for pulling my hair. So we marched into Carnsfort and Felix said there was no problem i was in charge. Then Felix asked if I wanted to help him out. There was this mean lord Thunderheart. He was taxing some roads and trying to put the squeeze on Carnsfort.
Jessica said the power of the Dark Gods would strike down Lord Thunderheart. Only thing is it did not happen. The skeletons fired for a while at Lord Thunderhearts castle. And then Jessica ordered some to rush the gates. The skeletons got to the wall and tried to climb. They all got smashed by rocks. They were so slow.
Thats when I used taunt. It was so epic. I stood on my horse and showed the Lord my arse. And screamed NEE NEE can not catch me. He went red and charged out of the castle with all his horses.
Thats when the arrows hit home. Jessica screamed out and charged trying to get into the castle but they closed the gates. Oh jessica got a broken arm from the stones.
I was all for having Jessica spank Suzie but her hand was broken. She told me there was a bunch of nuns around and we should capture them. She said she could heal her hand and spank Suzie tomorrow.
Thats when we caught the nuns and Jessica had them stripped naked and made them walk down the main street of carnsfort. Take that Suzie Jessica promised to do the same thing to Suzie tomorrow. She had the nuns tied on where the horses are kept. Then she tattoed them property of evil gods on there bum. It was funny cause she put tattoed tattooed arrows pointing on them as well.
Funny her hand looked strong while she was holding them down. I bet she used a healing prayer on her hands. If she does not spank suzie Suzie before i go to bed i am going to have the skeletons tie her up naked with the nuns.
