Chapter 686 - Skelly Family (1/2)
Like the first skeleton, the second skeleton was enveloped by the bright light, and it was over in the next ten seconds.
[Your skeleton has advanced to Skeleton Archer!]
The Skeleton was still at the same height, but it had something new with it. There was a quiver made of bone and human skin(?) on its back. There was a stack of an arrow made of bone inside the quiver. In its right hand, it was holding a bow made of white bone as well.
”It seems I don't need to worry about the bow and the arrow.” Tang Shaoyang muttered after he saw the end product of the Skeleton Archer. He then looked at the sulking Steel Skeleton and gestured to it to come over. Even though it was sulking, it still came over and stood next to the kneeling Skeleton Archer.
”Why are you sulking over your little brother? Aren't brothers supposed to share things? And as a big brother, you should protect your little brother instead of getting jealous.” Tang Shaoyang lectured on the Skeleton. He was not expecting a response from the Steel Skeleton as he was testing things if this Skeleton was similar to people like having feelings, learning new things and more things.
The Steel Skeleton paused for a moment and glanced down at Skeleton Archer. Tang Shaoyang slowly to feel the confusion from the Steel Skeleton that gradually changed to an understanding? Understanding others' feelings was still weird, but he could tell that the Steel Skeleton was no longer sulking.
It nodded its head in understanding and made another clanking noise. Unlike the Steel Skeleton, Tang Shaoyang could not feel anything from the Skeleton Archer. ”Alright then, you seem to accept it, Big Brother. Let's start with the name first. Welcome to Skelly Family, and you will be the head that leads Skelly Family, Kaiser. As for you, Keeper. Your job is to help your brother to watch over the Skelly Family.”
The Steel Skeleton, or now Kaiser, was excited. He could feel the excitement from Kaiser, but he did not know what it excited for. Maybe the name, maybe because he was the first brother, or maybe he was the head of the Skelly Family. Alright, go back, for now. I will call you guys back when I find more prey.”
The two Skeletons returned to where they from. Tang Shaoyang did not know if there was something similar to Spiritual Space like the spirit for the Skeleton. They disappeared from his sight as he expanded his vision through the Spirit Eyes. The Spirit Eyes now had expanded up to a thousand meters.
Tang Shaoyang found a few beasts around, but those beasts would only give a little experience for the Skeleton to level up. He wanted to look for the same target, like the people in the same level he just killed now. Those people would boost the Skeleton's level to the next advancement.
'Should I go to the border? The Revolution Army must have some of their men to watch the border, right?' He considered going to the border, 'But that will alarm the guard…. Nah, it does not matter. If there's a post there, then I will just take it over until they arrive.' Just like that, Tang Shaoyang rushed toward the border.
It did not take that long for him to reach the border between Braum and Astium. However, he did not see any post around the border. 'This is weird. Haven't they gotten the information that we are capturing their cities? Why don't they guard the border? Are they giving up these cities?'
Tang Shaoyang floated in the sky as a frown formed on his forehead. Alton told him that they were still three cities away from the main battlefield. If they captured the following three cities tomorrow, the battlefield would turn into a triangle battlefield with a big plain in the center.
To make sure of his conjecture, Tang Shaoyang flew with maximum speed toward Astium City. He could tell what the Revolution Army's plan was by checking the city. It took him less than five minutes to reach the city from the border. He soon reached Astium City and discovered that the city's defense was lacking.
'Huh!?' Tang Shaoyang looked at the guard on the top of the wall. He saw civilians with leather armor and a sword instead of armored knights, archers, and mages. As for why he could tell they were civilians was because he overheard the conversation between those civilians. They were complaining about the Revolution Army who forced them to fight.
