Chapter 49: System Reward

  So, building a base for the undead must be done with great care.

  Although there are such big drawbacks, Xiao Yu still chose to build the Undead base, because with one more base, four more heroes and different troops, it would definitely be of great help to him.

  Although these undead creatures are unsightly, in certain situations, if used as a surprise attack to harass the enemy, they can have an enormous impact.

  So, Xiao Yu specially found a very deep cave nearby and let the beastmen work hard to rebuild it, and built the base of the undead tribe here.

  Boom...

  With a loud noise, the great tomb of the Wraith tribe appeared on the scene. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees at once.

  Waaah...

  A mournful howl echoed through the cave, as if this place had turned into hell, making one's back hair stand on end and heart tremble with fear. Xiao Yu's palms were sweating cold sweat.

  Although I've used undead in games before, actually dealing with such a group of ghosts makes any normal person feel very uncomfortable.

  "Build... a sacrificial altar." Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva and gave the order.

  A loud rumble, the sacrificial altar reappeared, with white bones all over it, all of which were made up of human skeletons, towering high like a mountain of bones.

  "Select a hero." The system's voice came, pulling Xiao Yu out of her shock.

  "Choose Death Knight." Xiao Yu chose the undead, but still opted for his most familiar and favorite Arthas, after all, having played World of Warcraft, everyone has a special bond with this tragic hero.

  To be able to see the legendary Alsace in person, to see the legendary Frost's Sorrow, to see the legendary DK horse, how exciting is that.

  Half an hour later, accompanied by a burst of loud neighing, a flame rose up on the altar.

  Four hooves trample the flames, and from its mouth and nose, flames spew forth. The legendary DK horse carries Death Knight Arthas, appearing on the altar with an air of transcending the world.

  The horse let out a long whinny again, its two front hooves raised high, and with a burst of speed it carried Althaeon down from the altar.

  "Alsace greets the master." Xiao A jumped off his horse and gave Xiang Yu a standard knight's salute. Seeing this knight's salute, Xiang Yu felt an urge to cry.

  Alas, Alsace, once the prince of humanity, a shining holy knight, has ended up like this. In those years when we fought in this campaign, Xiao Yu had sighed countless times for Little A's tragic fate.

  Especially when Jianna is alone and widowed, Xiao Yu feels even more distressed, wishing to replace her to comfort Jianna.

  Putting away his sentimental thoughts, Xiao Yu looked at the Frost of Sorrow in Little A's hand, a sword that had once driven countless people crazy.

  "Nima, it's really just like the one I saw in the pictures before, so handsome! If only I had one too." Xiao Yu thought to herself, then asked Xiaoa: "I say Xiaoa, can I borrow this sword of yours to play with for a bit?"

  "Alsatia stood upright, like a spear, and said: 'Sorry, master. This sword has an evil power on it. If you're not careful, you might get hurt.'"

  "Damn it, I forgot about this." Xiao Yu felt a wave of disappointment.

  After carefully observing Altria's handsome image and his handsome mount, Xiao Yu began to look at Altria's skills, preparing to first create a skill for him.

  Xiao Yu originally wanted to ride the DK horse that had never been brushed, but looking at the flames bursting everywhere on it, he gave up decisively. If he got on, even his JJ would be burned off.

  The skills that can be learned in Alsace now are:

  Death Coil (Rank 3), Death Knights can summon dark powers at will, releasing a dark arrow imbued with death's power from their hand to deal massive damage to the Death Knight's enemies or heal his fallen allies. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

  Death Pact (Rank 3), Death Knights can drain the life force from a target, using it to restore their own health. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

  Control Undead (up to 3 levels), Death Knights can summon up to two, four or six undead corpses as wight creatures to fight for them at first, second and third level respectively.

  Evil Strike (Up to 3 levels), Death Knight deals 50% weapon damage to the target and applies a Withering effect, causing the opponent's skin to rot and corrode their internal flesh. Cooldown: 5 seconds.

  "It's indeed an evil skill." Xiao Yu pinched her chin and pondered for half a day, finally choosing a Death Bind for Little A.

  This skill has a huge effect whether it's attacking enemies or healing ghouls, and is very helpful in the early stages.

  Because the system gave away five hardworking ones, the undead base gave away five ghouls, which made Xiao Yu very happy.

  These ghouls can be used as laborers or sent out to kill enemies, having multiple uses.

  Moreover, the best part is that the number of units occupied by ghouls is only equivalent to half, that is, two ghouls are equal to one orc infantry.

  In this way, Xiao Yu summoned a hundred ghouls, which was equivalent to having fifty more units, greatly saving the already limited troop quota that Xiao Yu had.

  However, for the time being, Xiao Yu does not plan to summon too many ghouls, because at first, they were just used as a surprise attack, and it was enough to just harass them a bit. They cannot be allowed to openly go to the battlefield and kill people everywhere.

  Frontline battlefield, or other troops.

  Having reached the rank of Lieutenant General, Xiao Yu can now have a force of 2,000 men.

  This made Xiao Yu excited, with an additional thousand people, his strength would greatly increase. These thousand people, Xiao Yu decided to add 100 Elf archers, 100 Dwarf gunners, 100 Human infantry, and another 100 Beastman infantry.

  As for the remaining 600 quotas, Xiao Yu prepared to directly form a 500-man heavy cavalry corps, and the last 100 were assigned to the Undead Clan, producing some undead soldier breeds as vanguard troops.

  After leaving here, Xiao Yu went to other bases to continue preparing for recruitment and purchasing horses.

  But just as he arrived at the Beastman's base, Xiao Yu pouted and stopped in his tracks, because he took a look at the system's data list and found that he was out of money again.

  Through yesterday's battle, the great magician successfully reached level 10. Xiao Yu also upgraded his water element by one level, allowing him to summon three water elements for combat. Then, with the remaining gold coins, he bought a set of mage T1 equipment for the great magician, an arcane suit.

  With this set of equipment, the great magician's strength increased by more than double.

  The effect of the equipment is absolutely huge. Yesterday, in the late stages of the battle, the Sword Saint was able to lead his soldiers to defend the city gate so bravely because of the help of the T1 power suit. It's simply a mobile killing machine. Two second-class warriors who attacked him were both taken down by him.

  But this also directly led to Xiao Yu's financial resources being depleted again.

  "Damn it, I still have to keep robbing." Xiao Yu said with a mix of sadness and indignation.

  While querying how many thousands of gold coins he had left, Xiao Yu suddenly saw two system messages. This look was not bad, after reading it, Xiao Yu was so excited that he almost jumped up.

  The first system message is that Xiao Yu has completed the construction of all four bases, so the system rewards Xiao Yu to summon two more heroes for battle.

  The second system message is that Xiao Yu has completed the construction of all four bases, so the blacksmith shop and pharmacy can be upgraded to level 2, allowing for the purchase of level 2 soldier armor or potions.

  "My god, it's a good thing I built the fourth base! Originally, building four bases would have such a reward? Heaven and earth, you're treating me too well!"

  It's hard not to get excited about the sudden rain, and having two heroes is a huge help. Moreover, the blacksmith and shops have been upgraded to level 2, and each racial shop has different good stuff at level 2.

  Xiao Yu was about to choose two heroes, but when he saw the price, he directly started scolding.

  "My god, a hero actually costs 200,000 gold coins. How long will it take for me to rob enough to get 200,000 gold coins?"
