The eggs hatched not too long after. Two little scrubs scared of Skeletor's existence that preferred cuddling with Earl, but that didn't stop Skeletor from pestering them. David smiled at the antics of the little undead and let him do as he pleased. The last battle was too stressful for everyone.

"At least that went better than Duat, get up boys, we can't rest yet." Skeletor picked the nameless, squirming worms in his arms, and all the group moved towards the settlement. David took a moment to appreciate it from a distance and was not very impressed by it. "It is what it is," he whispered and shook his head.
As the group approached the entrance, the same Golem that Earl and Upton encountered was waiting by it. The g
As the parade was ending, David remembered. He still didn't ask everything he wanted, so he ordered Skeletor to catch up to the Chief. After a series of hand movements and charades, he could relay that David wanted to talk to him again. The Chief nodded and did the same trick again to talk with David."Do you need something, Mr. David?" Asked the rat skull politely."My army can cause corruption and potentially kill living beings, isn't that a problem?""Well...how can you drown a fish with water?""What?" David got very confused about the sudden question."Yes, how can you drown a fish with water?""It's impossible...""It's the Same with us, how can you corrupt with the abyss aura an abyssal creature?""Makes sense." David nodded and shrugged his shoulder. "One last question, do you have any currency?""We do, I was planning on introducing them to you at the fields when
The Magic tower was a small cylindrical tower of only three stories high made out of quartz brick. A soft red light came from its walls, and low rumblings came from the interior. In the roof were four gargoyles carved in wood, the craftmanship was superior to the golems that David saw so far and had the most amount of wings on their flat faces: 6 of them. The little ones could not see it but David could, they were watching them.After the Chief entered the tower, David ordered his minions to do the same and remain close to one another. The interior was a bit cramped, lumps of crystal and wood were on the shelves that filled the walls, magic circles painted in different colors on the ground, and multicolored light came out of the lamps in the ceiling. David was impressed by the interior, but even more so by the appearance of the shopkeeper."Greetings." A 3-meter tall figure bowed to the group. Gray fur stuck out from their clothes, and their two pairs of curved horns protr
While the critters were traversing through to tunnels again, David was looking at the stats of the golems carefully.[Name: Chaos Golem][Master: Skeletor][Tier I (0% towards Tier II)] [Race: Lesser Chaos Golem] Abyssal force: 40/40 [Attack: 5] [Defense: 5] [Dexterity: 2] [Agility: 8] [Intelligence: 4] [Skills:] Soul devour Lv 1 (2 AF/s) Mind shock Lv 1 (39 AF due to low AF) [Spells:] None [Affinities:] None[Name: Bone Golem] [Tier I (0% towards Tier II)] [Race: Lesser Bloodwood Golem] Abyssal force: 40/40 [Attack: 6] [Defense: 6] [Dexterity: 6] [Agility: 3] [Intelligence: 4] Skills: Sharpen LV 1 (5 AF) Bone Manipulation Lv 1 (15 AF) Spells: None Affinities: None [Name: Banshee Golem] [Tier I (0% towards
While every member of the army was working hard to build their future home, there were two shiny cocoons in the middle of their lot guarded by rats and their little golems. They were Lorne mowers II and Ben Dover II, and as their mothers, were brood mothers too. David needed tanks and attackers to start hunting, and the solution was simple: plated rhinos and blood vultures. Bone vultures would not be as useful as their red cousin, so Upton was spared of the role.When they broke free of their crystal prison, they started to produce two eggs right away. David's contract with the Chief stipulated that they were going to feed 200 of his critters, but there wasn't a limit to how many he can have. He Just needed a reliable food source to feed the rest.And that reliable food source would come very soon with the new druidic spells: Voice of the forest and Poem of roses. [Poem of roses: Increase the size of flowers and roots 25 meters around the user. (55 AF) (3 hours, 30 m
Just as the Chief finished brawling with a 6-meters tall six-armed ape, he caught a helmet made out of green crystal that someone threw in his direction. He wore it and tapped at the right side of it as if he was activating a communicator."I want a full report of the situation." Spoke the Chief in a solemn tone just before throwing a punch against a sneaky greater chameleon. "Dance of thorns." He whispered before gray-colored thorned vines popped from the ground and trapped the reptile, a nearby member of the tribe decapitated it with a sword."Yes, Chief." Answered a calm, feminine voice, there was a lot of noise on the other side of the call as well, mostly screeches and the buzz from insect wings. "The swamp front is full of insectoids and reptiles, and some amphibians appear sometimes, but they refuse to engage with our forces because they would be vulnerable to their predators.""The members of the tower are making their golems patrol the streets! So far, three
Just as the charm spell started to run out and the warriors began to sustain more injuries from the attacks of the reptiles, a pair of gargoyles dropped from the sky carrying a 2-meter tall cocoon in their arms and heavy bags on their backs. A cord connected the bags to the chrysalis, and a set of runes glowed on its surface surrounding a palm print. The Leader smiled when she saw the golems, approached them, and put her palm on the print. "This is Benedictia, Captain of team D, and the supervisor of the acid swamp front. I authorize the release of the Excalibur, and I will be responsible for its integrity."The golems nodded and tapped the runes while she was still touching the print, then they severed the cord connecting to their bodies, losing all of their power. The cocoon crumbled, and a standing humanoid with a pair of white curved horns remained in its center. It had plant fibers covering its body and head like a second set of muscles. Tempered crystal armor
David tried his best to involve himself with the fight, but the enemies were too high level. Not even his strongest attacks could make a single digit of damage, much less kill anything. He tried to get a hold onto the bows, crossbows, and even the blowpipes that the warriors were using, but it was futile because they didn't let his units get close to them. "How can i do this, then?" Whispered David as he looked at the quest that appeared when the Chief made that bombastic entrance.[Incursion in progress!][The allied settlement "Winged skull tribe" is under attack!][You can receive rewards depending on your contribution.][Time remaining: 00:00:02:22:54:03]He tried to get more contribution by sending his rats to repair weapons, carry ammunition, and do some first aid to people that would likely survive. But he knew that wasn't enough. He needed to do something more meaningful in these three days that the attack would last, sadly his resources were p
Even if the brutal arrows were a needed discovery, it didn't change the fact that the two fronts were currently losing terrain. The crocodiles and the treants approached the village every second, and their threat rose with every step. They couldn't neglect the Bugs and the trees either. If a warrior made a mistake, then not even their blood would remain.
