Combat Outpost

The three options that popped up in the system prompt were clearly visible. Gu Su only glanced at them and instantly understood the core purpose of each. Without the slightest hesitation, he made his choice.

The Broadcast Station, as its name suggested, was used to attract scattered undead from the surroundings, its core function being to expand the territory's population and fill the void in undead numbers.

The Combat Sentry was for transforming undead, capable of systematically converting ordinary undead civilians into regular undead troops with combat power.

The Gate Sentry focused on defense, specifically cultivating undead to guard the territory's city gates and defend strongholds.

The latter two seemed to both convert undead troops, but their positioning was entirely different.

One was for offense, the other for defense, with their uses clearly distinguished.

Beyond that, Gu Su also instantly grasped the key point.

The conversion by the Combat Sentry was a general troop type conversion, not a specialized training approach tailored to a specific type of undead. It could be applied to both ordinary skeletons and elite skeletons.

The Gate Sentry, on the other hand, relied more on the city gates.

Compared to the warriors converted by the Combat Sentry, the troops converted by the Gate Sentry were somewhat like police forces compared to soldiers.

And right now, what Gu Su lacked the most was precisely regular combat strength that could go head-to-head.

In the previous battle with the orcs, the undead squad had suffered heavy losses, and victory was only barely achieved through traps. If he had a regular undead force, he wouldn't have been so passive.

After thinking it through, Gu Su didn't hesitate any further and directly issued his command: "Choose Combat Sentry."

The moment the command was confirmed, a bizarre scene immediately unfolded.

The ground, which still bore traces of the camp, with uncleaned wood chips, scraps of animal hide, and even the topsoil, began to melt and collapse at a visible speed, like snow meeting a scorching sun. In an instant, it turned into wisps of gray-white mist, completely swallowed by the subterranean corruption fungi.

In just a few minutes, the once messy but orderly orc camp completely disappeared before his eyes. Only the remains of the already collapsed two-story building, covered in broken marks, stood alone in its original spot, proving that a camp had once existed there.

Gu Su glanced at the empty ground, understanding dawning in his heart.

Everything in the orc camp that could be corrupted and devoured had now been cleared and absorbed by the Graveyard Demon's mycelium, leaving no trace behind.

He didn't linger there, as there were more important things to do.

Turning to the remaining skeletons beside him, Gu Su waved his hand and took the lead, quickly heading towards the Graveyard Demon.

When Gu Su returned to the entrance of the Graveyard Demon, he saw that everything inside was calm from a distance.

The Coyote squad had indeed been incredibly efficient. They had already transported all the supplies from the orc camp and the orc corpses from the forest to the designated area, piling them haphazardly on the open ground inside the graveyard.

Coyote and his squad members were nowhere to be seen. They had likely gone, as usual, to transport exotic beast bones to reserve materials for subsequent undead transformations.

Gu Su showed no expression on his face regarding the Coyotes' initiative, but he nodded inwardly and said nothing.

Efficient and worry-free, truly the best transport unit.

As soon as he stepped into the Graveyard Demon, Gu Su's gaze swept across the interior.

He didn't look at the mountains of supplies and corpses, but instead, his eyes went directly to the wall on the right side of the graveyard.

A brand new facility had appeared there.

It was a square area enclosed by sturdy wooden stakes, with thick animal hides wrapped between the stakes, forming a simple yet orderly training and conversion outpost.

This was precisely the Combat Sentry he had just chosen.

Inside the outpost, dozens of longswords, round shields, and heavy warhammers were neatly arranged against the wall, emitting a cold metallic sheen, clearly the weapons and equipment prepared for the undead warriors to be converted.

Gu Su strode forward quickly. As he approached the outpost area, a cold system prompt immediately sounded in his ear, clearly listing the conversion rules and attribute details for the undead warriors:

[Consuming 15 units of Yin energy, 5 gold coins, 1 unit of metal, and 1 unit of wood (a small amount of leather can be added) can convert one skeleton into a Skeleton Warrior.]

[Skeleton Warrior (Level 0, Summon): Experience (0/100) Attack 5, Defense 4, Health 16, Trait: Undead Creature]

[Consuming 20 units of Yin energy, 7 gold coins, 2 units of metal, and 1 unit of wood (a small amount of leather can be added) can convert one ghoul into a Ghoul Warrior.]

[Ghoul Warrior (Level 0, Summon): Experience (0/100) Attack 5, Defense 8, Health 22, Trait: Undead Creature]

[Undead Creature: Immune to mind magic and blindness, unaffected by morale, -1 morale for friendly non-undead, Death Wave and Reincarnation magic ineffective, Undead Slayer and Spirit Gathering techniques effective, cannot be life-drained.]

[Note 1: Both ordinary undead and elite undead can be converted.]

[Note 2: Only displays available conversion directions for existing undead.]

After carefully reading all the prompts, a hint of satisfaction flickered in Gu Su's eyes.

This was exactly what he desperately needed.

Although the Yin energy, gold coins, and various materials required for conversion were not a small amount, and each conversion of an undead warrior incurred a considerable cost, Gu Su felt that these expenditures were entirely worthwhile.

Looking at the attributes of the Skeleton Warrior alone, they far surpassed those of ordinary converted skeleton soldiers, let alone the basic skeletons that had not undergone any basic conversion and only possessed instinctual movements.

They had achieved a qualitative improvement in attack, defense, and health.

If he could convert them in batches and form a squad of Skeleton Warriors, their combat power would undoubtedly increase significantly.

If Gu Su's two current squads were suitable for conversion into Skeleton Warriors, he would have even called over the Ash and Coyote squads for direct conversion.

Gu Su couldn't help but recall the previous battle with the orcs. If he had had ten such Skeleton Warriors at that time, he wouldn't have needed to bother setting up traps. He could have directly led his squad in a frontal assault, and those sharp-toothed orcs would have been no match. The undead squad wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.

This could be said to be exactly what Gu Su wanted.

But before that, Gu Su had to convert the corpses in front of him into skeletons and elite skeletons first.

With that thought, Gu Su no longer delayed. He immediately turned and ordered the skeletons waiting in the distance in a deep voice: "Come help me move the corpses. Prioritize replenishing the fallen elite skeletons!

After replenishment, all remaining corpses are to be placed in Pit No. 3 of the Great Burial Mound, and be quick about it!

And you, go notify Bone Ash and have him send back the elite skeletons."

As the orders were given, the waiting skeletons and the zombies not far away all sprang into action. They stiffly grabbed the half-orc corpses on the ground and moved them in an orderly fashion towards the Great Burial Mound.

Inside the graveyard demon, the atmosphere once again became busy yet orderly.
