Chapter 302: Half a month, 184 2
At the same time, they were also turned into citizens of his Land of Bone.
Also, the quality of the Giant Bull Tribe was pretty good. There were about twelve thousand members in total, with only four to five thousand being ordinary people.
Among these four to five thousand people, there were one to two thousand children. The remaining two to three thousand people had all completed their class changes.
Those with quality of superior grade or above were quite average. There were 120 of rare quality, and 30 of perfect quality.
It was slightly unfortunate that there was no one of extraordinary quality.
However, there were as many as three thousand more class-changed individuals in the tribe, and that was wonderful news.
On Dean McKenzie’s side, there were more than three thousand additional citizens of the Land of Bone.
However, Dean had set these citizens to be invisible citizens.
That is, they needed to provide resources for the Land of Bone, but they did not know the existence of the Land of Bone, nor did they know that they had become citizens of the Land of Bone.
After completing this series of operations, Dean immediately started the next step.
On one hand, he sent out the team of skeleton assassins led by Old Eight to clean up all the undercover agents around the Land of Bone, in order to ensure the Giant Bear Tribe’s jungle scouts would not spy on the Giant Bull Tribe.
At the same time, he opened the Gate of Bone and activated ‘Summon Skeleton’!
The intermediate 2-star ‘Land of Bone’ could accommodate three thousand fifth-turn skeletons, but only about five hundred six-turn skeletons could be housed.
However, Dean’s ‘Summon Skeleton’ skill was now at level 12.
The maximum level limit of the summoning skeleton skill had increased from level 123 to level 125.
The time each skeleton could exist was also lengthened to 24 hours.
Each summoning required 12000 mana. With the level 8 ‘Meditation’ skill fully open, Dean McKenzie could recover 61664 mana per minute.
In one day, he could summon about 12000 six-turn skeletons.
But Dean didn’t bother with the excess.
Just spending all of his 33 million mana points, he summoned 2750 six-turn skeletons.
Then Dean let Doggy Two lead these nearly three thousand six-turn skeletons to attack the Giant Bull Tribe.
These three thousand skeletons had basically one attribute:
Name: Incredible Skeleton Warrior
Template: Ordinary
Level: 125
Trait: Intermediate
Enhanced Attribute of Skeleton Commanded:
Strength: 18000, Agility: 9450, Physique: 9450
Attack: 67000
Defense: 41350
Spirit Power: 750000
Skills: Heavy Strike (Level 12), Charge (Level 12)
Though they were only ordinary templates, when the level and strength were increased, their combat power soared to a certain level.
However, even though his Wraith Army was formidable, Dean felt that since Carl was confident of passing the seven-turn task, the strength of the Giant Bull Tribe should be equally extraordinary. It shouldn’t be held back by this Wraith Army, right?
And then Dean saw the scene of the Giant Bull Tribe being pushed back.
In the face of the raging Wraith Army, although the Giant Bull Tribe was well prepared beforehand, they couldn’t stand up against it when the real battle began.
They were broken through by Doggy Two in just a few blows.
If it weren’t for Dean’s command to stop, the Giant Bull Tribe would probably have been beaten badly.
After analyzing the main reasons for this situation, Dean found several key factors.
One was that he had underestimated his strength.
The attributes above were the basic attributes after commanding the skeletons, but in actual combat, with Doggy Two leading, the attributes of the skeleton under his command would increase by a hundred percent.
The combat power soared.
And they attacked as a group of three thousand, or even six thousand skeletons, so the impact was immense.
Another factor was that, although the strength of Carl’s side might not be weak, they had absolutely no experience in dealing with this scale of battle.
Moreover, the Giant Bull Tribe was basically full of brutes. In the heat of battle, even Carl was too preoccupied to lead, let alone strategize.
The last point is that the Giant Bull Tribe had virtually no defense system.
At best, they had a perimeter wall, but it was utterly useless against level six enemies.
Although they were defending their home turf, when the Wraith Army barged in, the Giant Bull Tribe found themselves helpless.
Given these factors, it was already much if the Giant Bull Tribe could unleash a fraction of their power.
Based on this situation, Dean McKenzie made adjustments.
The number of level six Skeletons was reduced to around 500. Then, utilizing the Land of Bone, Dean spawned a large quantity of level three and four skeletons to construct the second wave of attack.
On the Giant Bull Tribe’s side, Dean tried to let Carl to command the battle.
But Carl quickly demonstrated with his actions that it was impossible, completely impossible!
Being a simple brute, he was incapable of leadership. His only battle tactic was to charge at the enemy.
Wherever the Skeleton Army went, Carl would lead The Giant Bull Tribe members straight into battle.
Though reckless, Carl’s battle method unexpectedly suited their tribe. Riding on this momentum, the Giant Bull Tribe’s performance in the second wave was much better than the first.
Considering the diminished strength of Doggy Two’s Wraith army, the Giant Bull Tribe was surprisingly gaining the upper hand.
By the end of the battle, Doggy Two was left without a single skeleton.
Carl was ecstatic!
He confidently told Dean again and again that he was fully prepared for the seven-turn, and he didn’t feel the need for these small adjustments.
Looking at Carl’s smug face, Dean rubbed his nose and Instructed Doggy Two to go full power.
Then, Doggy Two unleashed his full potential.
After sacrificing the Wraith army, his attributes increased by five hundred percent. Then he cast Bone Eruption, which was enhanced to level nine.
The total attributes were boosted by nine hundred percent, and the attack increased by sixty million.
Just Doggy Two alone wreaked havoc on the entire Giant Bull Tribe.
Not to mention, next Dean deployed all of his remaining two thousand skeletons, Old Four, Old Nine, Old Seven, Old Eight, and the whole Skeleton Giant Legion.
As Dean sent all his troops out, the Giant Bull Tribe was completely overrun.
The entirety of the tribe was subjected to an all-out attack.
Even the Extraordinary traits received from the Giant Bull Totem couldn’t change the outcome.
After the disastrous defeat, the Giant Bull tribe quieted down and finally acknowledged Dean’s superiority.
Over the following period, Dean repeatedly made the Skeleton Legion attack the Giant Bull Tribe.
The repeated practice not only improved the power of the Giant Bull Tribe but also helped Dean quickly familiarize himself with his upgraded skills since becoming a level five.
After half a month, Dean had a clear understanding of his strength.
Simply put, he believed himself to be invincible against anything less than a level seven.
Dean estimated he could, maybe, potentially, somewhat fight a level seven enemy.
The outcome of such battle would depend on his performance.
After a month, the Giant Bull Tribe showed dramatic progress under Dean’s guidance.
Although limited by the lack of a level six Promotion Temple, there were only less than too members of the Giant Bull Tribe at level six.
Each of them significantly improved in strength.
The lower-level members managed to gain a level or two during this period.
The expenditure just left the Giant Bull Tribe’s entire resources depleted.
Furthermore, in the span of half a month, Old Six was able to organize a defense system for the Giant Bull Tribe.
Although the Giant Bull Tribe made decent progress, Dean felt even less confident that they could pass the trial.
The bitter fact was, Dean managed to easily defeat the Giant Bull Tribe a month ago, and even now, he still felt he could easily defeat them, perhaps more easily than before.
Considering their strength, Dean doubted very much about their odds of passing the seven-turn trial.
“Perhaps, I need a change of perspective.
Not me restraining the Giant Bear Tribe and allowing Carl to complete the seven-turn ceremony. Instead, let the Giant Bull Tribe distract the Giant Bear Tribe while I find a chance to break through to level six.”
Dean felt that the latter probably held a greater chance of success.
So, after half a month of hard work, Dean took back the Seventh-turn Task Scroll from Carl.
Instead, he started preparing for his promotion.
He was determined to level up to level 120 as fast as possible!
