Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a month passed.

Lu Mingchuan read the reply given by the court again, and the sorrow hidden between his eyebrows slowly dissipated, and the irritability faintly revealed in his expression these days was also wiped out.

Then he put away the court's reply and shouted, "Come."

A guard outside the tent hurriedly walked in and clasped his fists and said, "General."

Lu Mingchuan directly ordered: "Notify, half an hour later, the command center will discuss matters."

The guard responded after hearing this: "Yes, General."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked out.

The court did not hold him accountable for his defeat this time, so he was still the commander-in-chief of the war.

In this way, he not only has the opportunity to avenge Nangong Liuyun himself, but also can give an explanation to the Nangong family behind him.

After all, they spent a considerable price to get this position. If they left without success, they would probably be on the bench from now on.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Lu Mingchuan stepped forward to the front seat step by step with everyone's eyes. They had already guessed that Lu Mingchuan suddenly summoned everyone to discuss the matter this time, and it was probably the court's reply.

The subsequent decisions of the court not only concern each of them, but also their own lives, so everyone seemed more nervous.

When Lu Mingchuan had just sat in his seat, everyone below stood up one after another and said in unison: "General."

Lu Mingchuan pressed his hand and said, "Sit all."

Everyone responded: "Thank you General."

After everyone sat down, Lu Mingchuan said slowly: "I guess everyone has guessed what happened to me suddenly summoning you today."

Everyone below started to talk in a low voice when they heard this.

Lu Mingchuan pressed his hand again and signaled everyone to be quiet.

He then continued: "The court has decided to temporarily suspend the attack on Nanyang County. Given that the enemy's strength exceeded the expected level and our side suffered heavy losses, the court ordered us to temporarily retreat to Sanshan County, Linhai County and Xihuang County."

"At the same time, the imperial court will increase 200,000 troops to Sanshan County, Linhai County and Xihuang County will increase 100,000 troops to ensure that the enemy is trapped in Nanyang County. Reinforcements from all walks of life have set off several days ago and will arrive in the next three months."

Then Lu Mingchuan looked at the spirit masters below and said, "In order to adapt to the needs of war, the court has transferred 50 junior spirit masters from the worship hall. At the same time, the major spiritual families in the imperial city have drawn 200 senior spirit masters to assist in the defense."

Finally, Lu Mingchuan said: "I hope you can do your duty and not let down the high expectations of the court."

Everyone below smiled happily when they saw that the court not only did not hold the responsibility for the defeat in this battle, but also gave such great support.

Next, everyone began to discuss the retreat route and how the three counties coordinated defense after the imperial reinforcements arrived.

Ling Zhilan in the corner below looked at the lively command center with a look of disregard, and the light in his eyes flashed.

In the underground space of the Helong Plain, in the main hall, Dong Changsheng sat on the throne of the bones, and his dark red eyes suddenly became brighter.

Since it has been confirmed that the court is going to withdraw its troops, he can free up his hands to turn the entire Nanyang County from the ground to the underground into his own territory.

In just one month, countless white bones and skeletons have been sleeping and have hollowed out the entire depth of the Helong Plain. Although Dong Changsheng did not ask Skeleton No. 3 to build the main hall, it still built a spacious main hall.

Dong Changsheng walked out of the main hall and went straight to the White Bone Cave. Skeleton No. 3 was waiting outside the cave.

This white bone cave was named No. 3 White Bone Cave by President Dong. Although it was the latest to be built, it is the largest. Almost half of the underground space of the Helong Plain belongs to No. 3 White Bone Cave.

Skeleton No. 3 saw Dong Changsheng walking towards it, and quickly knelt on one knee to salute, greeting: "Master."

Dong Changsheng said lightly: "Get up."

Then he walked directly into the White Bone Cave, and Skeleton No. 3 followed closely behind.

I saw that the huge bone cave was filled with broken bones, and there were white bone skeletons standing neatly on these broken bones. The soul fire in their eyes was extremely dim, and it was obvious that they had been immersed in the state of absorbing the remaining essence from the broken bones.

The total number of these bone skeletons is 15,000, all of which are bone skeletons with advanced potential to skeleton warriors.

Since the construction time of this bone cave was relatively short, its overall structure was not as strong as the No. 1 Bone Cave in Donghe Canyon and the No. 2 Bone Cave in eastern Canglang Mountain.

However, as time goes by, the dry bones that have lost their essence will gradually turn into bone meal under the action of the magic circle and merge into the entire bone cave. This will not only strengthen the bone cave, but also make the bone cave more suitable for the survival of skeletons.

After Dong Changsheng and Skeleton No. 3 walked to the innermost, there were 50 white bone skeletons standing alone here. They were both second-rate peak and above during their lifetime, so they were summoned by Dong Changsheng with the "Skeleton Mastery", which gave him the potential to advance to the skeleton warrior.

However, Dong Changsheng came here specifically this time not for them.

He and Skeleton No. 3 took a turn and then saw some strange skeletons, which were divided into two types, each with 20.

One of the skeletons looks thin, but there are five white bones like arrows on its back, and a semicircular white bone with a thickness of a thumb on its left hip bone.

The other type is the white bone skeleton riding on the skeleton war horse. You can see that the skeleton war horse is burning with a faint dark red flame, and the white bone skeleton on it is holding a bone gun, which looks majestic.

Dong Changsheng carefully checked the skeletons and asked, "There are nothing unusual these days."

Skeleton No. 3 answered affirmatively: "No."

Dong Changsheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said to the 40 skeletons: "Follow me."

Then he turned around and walked outward. Skeleton No. 3 quickly followed, while the 40 skeletons walked at the end.

A quarter of an hour later, Dong Changsheng and the others came to the ground.

Although a month has passed, the land is still filled with a solemn atmosphere.

After standing still, Dong Changsheng said to the 20 thin skeletons: "At the front of the target, attack."

The 20 skeletons walked to the side, stood neatly in a row, and then each grabbed the semicircular bones on the left hand. Suddenly the bones separated from their bodies. Then, they took a bone arrow from their back with their right hand and laid them on the semicircular bones.

Then a magic power surged out from their left hand and instantly condensed into a bowstring. Then they pulled the bow together, and the next moment the bone arrow shot into the distance.

After a few breaths, the bone arrow landed, and Dong Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said to the remaining skeletons: "Divide into two groups and attack each other."

Suddenly, the 20 white bone skeletons riding on the skeleton war horses were divided into two groups and then began to attack each other. It can be seen that they can not only skillfully control the skeleton war horses, but also use the bone gun to make orderly attacks, but at the same time, there are some subtle differences in each skeleton's battle.

Finally, with Dong Changsheng saying: "Stop."

They separated immediately.

Dong Changsheng nodded with satisfaction again.

From beginning to end, he carefully observed all the skeletons' every move, and at the same time sensed the changes in their soul fire, basically meeting his requirements in all aspects.

Now he can announce that the research of Skeleton Knight and Skeleton Archer has been successfully completed.

These two types of skeletons are not as simple as white bone skeletons, and creating these skeletons requires consideration of all aspects.

He has experimented many times in the past month, and various problems arose in the middle. The closest time to success, the Skeleton Knight and Skeleton Archer had all the abilities of all aspects, but after a few days, he inexplicably turned into a pile of broken bones.

Therefore, after this improvement, he first asked Skeleton No. 3 to observe for a while, and then confirmed that there was no problem before testing their abilities.

This research has brought many experiences and novel ideas to Dong Changsheng.

In order to solve the problem of skeleton archer bowstring, he referred to the body structure of the skeleton archer to transform the bones of skeleton archers so that they can transform some magic power by themselves, and then condense it into bowstrings. They can also use magic power to transform broken bones into bone arrows.

At the same time, in order to solve the problem of intellectual retardation of Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Knights, Dong Changsheng thought of the puppet mark.

He fused the puppet magic array into the magic array that summoned these two skeletons, and then connected some marks with archers and cavalry experience in the soul space to their soul fire.

However, in order not to let their soul fire collapse due to interference from other obsessions of the mark, Dong Changsheng strictly restricted the authority of both parties to transmit information. The skeletons that had inexplicably turned into a pile of broken bones were caused by the collapse of the soul fire.

It is precisely because of the help of the mark that they have just performed.

Since both the Skeleton Knight and the Skeleton Archer have been successfully created, the next step is to find a way to simplify the magic circle that summons them.
