Under the commander's direction, two units of Skeleton Soldiers advanced.
Both units of Skeleton Soldiers were led by heroes.
They were the Deathbone Legion's main defensive force, and the two heroes each had their own specialty. One excelled at physical defense. He carried no other weapons, only two shields as large as doors.
