Chapter 106: Lorne’s Skeleton Army!
At the War Ruins.
After leaving the expeditionary army camp, Lorne ran towards the forest in the northwest.
It took more than an hour to reach the destination.
Under the dark sky, a large number of players gathered. Their IDs were displayed above their heads, and they were all labeled “World Destruction” and “Domination”.
It was obvious that they were from the two guilds.
Due to the preparation of the live stream, the two guilds had already posted a message on the forum, setting the time of the battle to 1pm.
It was ten in the morning, so their main force had not gathered yet.
“Is it there?”
Lorne looked at the cave behind them. There was the first special boss in the entire server.
However, to enter the cave, he had to break through the blockade of 200 people.
This was not easy.
“I have to scheme against them.”
Lorne checked the terrain.
There was another cave near the hill not far from the cave. This was a very good location. It could avoid the other party’s line of sight but also had enough space.
‘In that case, let’s begin.’
Lorne crept from the forest to the cave and summoned Rimuru.
“Rimuru, block this place.”
The entrance to the cave was not very large. After Rimuru was enlarged, it could completely seal the entire cave.
Then, he let the other pets sweep the area.
Soon, a group of skeleton monsters was brought back.
Lorne took out a Bronze Sword from his bag and activated his talent.
Ding!
“A prototype material and a body part material have been identified. The synthesis formula is: (Skeleton Warrior) + (Bronze Sword) + (???) = ?”
“The cost is 1,000 bronze coins. Would you like to merge?”
“Merge!”
Lorne confirmed.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining a Bronze-Grade Monster: Skeleton Swordsman!”
After a flash of light, a skeleton warrior with a bronze sword appeared in front of Lorne.
Although the prototype was not much different from before,
as long as one looked at the interface, they would realize that this monster was a mini Boss. Other than its lack of health, its attributes were excellent.
“Release it.”
Lorne did not contract the other party, instead choosing to let it go.
As a result, the creature became a wild monster.
But Lorne did not let it wander. He led the skeleton swordsman deeper into the cave, then let Rimuru hold it captive.
“Roar!”
The undead skeleton swordsman immediately turned into a wild monster, roaring crazily as he attacked Rimuru with the sword in his hand.
Unfortunately, its attack could not break through Rimuru’s defense.
“Let me find you some other friends.”
Lorne continued his monster synthesis.
The purpose of this was not to obtain pets, but to accumulate enough monsters.
Once the cave opened, all the monsters would immediately attack the sealed area of the World Destruction Guild. The people of the World Destruction Guild would definitely be careless. At that time, it would be Lorne’s chance.
“Although its Superiority is only 70%, its attributes are very good. It will probably require two or three players to cooperate in order to kill it.”
“The World Destruction Guild and the Domination Guild have arranged nearly 300 guards.”
“In other words, as long as I create more than a hundred monsters, I will be able to get the effect I want.”
Lorne calculated.
Under normal circumstances, this plan was very safe.
However, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he had to prepare more monsters.
It would be best if it was twice, or even thrice of the planned amount!
In any case, as long as time allowed, he would continue to merge. The more monsters there were, the higher the success rate.
…
More than an hour later.
Lorne continued to create monsters.
More and more monsters appeared in the cave. They roared as if protesting the fate of being imprisoned.
But Rimuru ignored them. He held them there, not allowing any of the creatures to leave through this exit.
As for the monster’s attack?
It was useless.
The cave was narrow. Only four monsters could attack Rimuru. Four Bronze monsters wanted to kill Rimuru? Impossible.
When it was almost noon, there were nearly 300 monsters in this cave.
Almost all the skeletons in the vicinity were attracted to the cave by Lorne.
All that was left was the batch of monsters closest to the Boss’ cave.
Lorne did not let them go. He wanted to capture all these skeletons and launch a surprise attack!
…
“Strange…”
“Was there something over there just now?”
A player guarding the entrance looked at a hill in confusion. He seemed to have seen something walk over just now. Why did it suddenly disappear?
“You must be kidding me. How can there be anyone?”
“Young people should stop playing games. You’re going blind.”
“Buy some tonics to eat, brother. You can’t go on like this.”
“You don’t know how to cherish it when you are young. When you reach my age, you can only watch others play.”
The surrounding players teased.
“I’ve been waiting for the latest dish for a week. You have to believe me. Something really went over there.”
The more the guard player thought about it, the more confused he became. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “Speaking of which, have you guys noticed that it has been a long time since a skeleton monster attacked us?”
As soon as he said this, the players beside him indeed realized that this was a problem.
They looked around.
It was strange.
Previously, he had seen many skeletons wandering around.
But now, they seem to have disappeared.
The group was puzzled.
At that moment, suddenly!
There was a commotion in the forest ahead.
A group of extremely furious skeletons charged at them.
“Damn!”
All the players could not help but curse.
They had just said that there were no monsters around, but all of a sudden, they rushed over from the direction in front.
Looking at this number, there were at least a few hundred skeletons.
But fortunately, they were just a group of Skeleton Warriors.
The attributes of the skeletons were not high. If everyone fought their own battles, this fight should be over soon.
The players from the two guilds thought so.
However, when they officially came into contact with the monster, all the players were stunned.
