Chapter 686 - Skelly Family

Like the first skeleton, the second skeleton was enveloped by the bright light, and it was over in the next ten seconds.

[Your skeleton has advanced to Skeleton Archer!]

The Skeleton was still at the same height, but it had something new with it. There was a quiver made of bone and human skin(?) on its back. There was a stack of an arrow made of bone inside the quiver. In its right hand, it was holding a bow made of white bone as well.

"It seems I don't need to worry about the bow and the arrow." Tang Shaoyang muttered after he saw the end product of the Skeleton Archer. He then looked at the sulking Steel Skeleton and gestured to it to come over. Even though it was sulking, it still came over and stood next to the kneeling Skeleton Archer.

"Why are you sulking over your little brother? Aren't brothers supposed to share things? And as a big brother, you should protect your little brother instead of getting jealous." Tang Shaoyang lectured on the Skeleton. He was not expecting a response from the Steel Skeleton as he was testing things if this Skeleton was similar to people like having feelings, learning new things and more things.

The Steel Skeleton paused for a moment and glanced down at Skeleton Archer. Tang Shaoyang slowly to feel the confusion from the Steel Skeleton that gradually changed to an understanding? Understanding others' feelings was still weird, but he could tell that the Steel Skeleton was no longer sulking.

It nodded its head in understanding and made another clanking noise. Unlike the Steel Skeleton, Tang Shaoyang could not feel anything from the Skeleton Archer. "Alright then, you seem to accept it, Big Brother. Let's start with the name first. Welcome to Skelly Family, and you will be the head that leads Skelly Family, Kaiser. As for you, Keeper. Your job is to help your brother to watch over the Skelly Family."

The Steel Skeleton, or now Kaiser, was excited. He could feel the excitement from Kaiser, but he did not know what it excited for. Maybe the name, maybe because he was the first brother, or maybe he was the head of the Skelly Family. Alright, go back, for now. I will call you guys back when I find more prey."

The two Skeletons returned to where they from. Tang Shaoyang did not know if there was something similar to Spiritual Space like the spirit for the Skeleton. They disappeared from his sight as he expanded his vision through the Spirit Eyes. The Spirit Eyes now had expanded up to a thousand meters.

Tang Shaoyang found a few beasts around, but those beasts would only give a little experience for the Skeleton to level up. He wanted to look for the same target, like the people in the same level he just killed now. Those people would boost the Skeleton's level to the next advancement.

'Should I go to the border? The Revolution Army must have some of their men to watch the border, right?' He considered going to the border, 'But that will alarm the guard… Nah, it does not matter. If there's a post there, then I will just take it over until they arrive.' Just like that, Tang Shaoyang rushed toward the border.

It did not take that long for him to reach the border between Braum and Astium. However, he did not see any post around the border. 'This is weird. Haven't they gotten the information that we are capturing their cities? Why don't they guard the border? Are they giving up these cities?'

Tang Shaoyang floated in the sky as a frown formed on his forehead. Alton told him that they were still three cities away from the main battlefield. If they captured the following three cities tomorrow, the battlefield would turn into a triangle battlefield with a big plain in the center.

To make sure of his conjecture, Tang Shaoyang flew with maximum speed toward Astium City. He could tell what the Revolution Army's plan was by checking the city. It took him less than five minutes to reach the city from the border. He soon reached Astium City and discovered that the city's defense was lacking.

'Huh!?' Tang Shaoyang looked at the guard on the top of the wall. He saw civilians with leather armor and a sword instead of armored knights, archers, and mages. As for why he could tell they were civilians was because he overheard the conversation between those civilians. They were complaining about the Revolution Army who forced them to fight.

Tang Shaoyang flew around Astium City and discovered that the real knights were waking up the civilians from door to door. They gathered the adult and young adult from the civilian houses, and he heard cries from the wife and mother who got their husband and son taken from them forcefully. He even discovered the knights were taking a teenager in his fourteen.

Tang Shaoyang kept roaming in the sky until he reached the west gate of Astium City. He found out that the knights, archers, and mages gathered in the west gate. They were packing up some supplies with the carriage as the gate to the west opened. There was no need for him to sneak around to overhear what they wanted to do. It was as clear as the moon right now that they were going to leave Astium City.

"Interesting. They wanted to block us with the civilian army and regroup with the main army." Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. It was cruel, but it was also a smart move from them. There was nothing less than two thousand armies could do against his armies. If even Braum City fell with the Myth Rank Knight, then there was no hope for them to defend the city. So they were using the civilians to delay his army to escape.

"Smart move, but it's also unfortunate I am here. I don't plan to join the battle, but you guys just force my hand to move." Tang Shaoyang grinned as he summoned Zara. "Can you please pick Viona for me? I have to share some of them for her, or else she would be too weak for the main battlefield."

He chose Zara since she might be the fastest and could fly among the other spirits. The Angel of Death nodded her head and disappeared from his sight.

Tang Shaoyang descended at the west, right in the middle of the entrance. He was standing between the two knights who were keeping a watch over the gate. They did not notice him until he stood next to them. "Who are you!?" The knight's voice was loud enough for others to hear. Soon, everyone looked toward the voice and noticed the man with casual clothes blocking the street.

"What are you doing here?" Another knight on Tang Shaoyang's right was a lot calmer. He thought Tang Shaoyang was just a civilian that just returned from the forest or something. "You are old enough to be enlisted. Follow me to the barracks, and we will equip you with armor and weapons."

The knight grabbed Tang Shaoyang's hand and tried to drag him into the city, but Tang Shaoyang did not budge from his spot. The knight was surprised that this man had more Strength than a knight like him.

"Enlisted? But why?" Tang Shaoyang pretended to be one of the civilians of Astium City and asked the knight.

The knight was not suspicious since he thought Tang Shaoyang had just returned to the city from outside. "The savage from Gigante Forest is attacking the city. Braum City has fallen into their hands, so we have to work together to defend Astium City."

"What about you guys? Why are you guys packing up? Shouldn't you fight with us to protect the city from the savage?" Tang Shaoyang's question caught the knight off guard.

The knight snapped out from the question and raised his voice. "It's none of your business what we are doing. You have to follow me now!" He tried to drag Tang Shaoyang forcefully, but he realized that the man did not budge even an inch. The knight turned toward Tang Shaoyang with his eyes widened.

At this point, the others who packed up the supplies continued packing up. They had the same thought as the knight, thinking Tang Shaoyang was just a civilian who came back from outside.

Tang Shaoyang grinned and pulled the knight toward him instead. He took the knight down, and his right foot stepped on the knight's back. He twisted the arm and pulled it apart from the knight's body.

"ARGGHHHHHH!!!"
