Besides having defensive abilities, a defensive hero also needed to be capable of commanding troops in battle. Otherwise, Liu Zhi wouldn't have picked him out specifically and assigned him to the Deathbone Legion.
There were quite a lot of heroes with defensive buffs, after all.
If they were ranked by combat strength and level, he wouldn't be near the top. Even though he was a skeleton, Liu Zhi didn't necessarily have to choose him.
He'd become one of the Deathbone Legion's two defensive heroes because of his ability to command his subordinates.
Under his command, the breached defensive line had been plugged once more, and they'd even pushed it forward a little.
With the line secured, the fighting on the Deathbone Legion's side noticeably picked up speed.
