The waiting skeletons and zombies moved swiftly. In just a short while, all thirty-one half-orc corpses were placed according to Gu Su's instructions.

Three of the corpses were sent to the grave mound, precisely filling the vacancies left by elite skeletons who had fallen in battle.

Twenty were steadily placed into Pit No. 3 of the large burial mound, compensating for previous losses and filling the numerical deficit of Pit No. 3 itself.

The remaining eight were put into Pit No. 4, ensuring these materials were not wasted.

The moment the last corpse was pushed into the deep pit and covered with a thin layer of soil, a "ding" sounded in Gu Su's ear, followed by a cold system prompt clearly announcing the specific results of the Soul Summoning spell:

[Grave Mound automatically used your Soul Summoning (Level 1), gaining Skeleton (Level 0) * 3, Soul Summoning proficiency +3 points]

[Large Burial Mound automatically used your Soul Summoning (Level 1), gaining Skeleton (Level 0) * 28, Soul Summoning proficiency +28 points.]

As soon as the prompt sounded, a faint tremor came from the ground. The soil of the grave mound, Pit No. 3, and Pit No. 4 of the large burial mound loosened and rose. Pale, greenish bone claws were the first to break through the earth.

Following them, complete skeletons slowly crawled out. Although their movements were still stiff, they maintained perfect order without any hint of chaos.

The first to emerge were the three elite skeletons that replenished the grave mound.

Their bones exuded a faint, ethereal white glow, and their skeletons were thicker and sturdier than those of ordinary skeletons, clearly inheriting the basic traits of the previously fallen elite undead.

Close behind, ordinary skeletons from Pit No. 3 continuously crawled out, arranging themselves densely along the pit's edge, heads bowed, silently awaiting Gu Su's command.

The moment the twenty-fifth ordinary skeleton from Pit No. 3 fully emerged from the ground, an anomaly occurred!

A faint gray light suddenly appeared on the back of this skeleton, and a small, black triangular battle flag materialized out of thin air, firmly fixed on its shoulder.

The surface of the battle flag was engraved with a skull pattern formed by intertwined gears and vines. Below the pattern, the text "25/25" was clearly visible, directly indicating its status as a minor leader.

Seeing this scene, Gu Su was first slightly stunned, his expression freezing for a moment before slowly settling, his face growing increasingly grim.

He could tell at a glance that this newly born minor leader still lacked combat talent.

The continuous birth of non-combat minor leaders was inevitably disappointing for him, who desperately needed to increase his combat power at this moment.

However, Gu Su still checked the status of this minor leader.

[Gearbone (Level 0, Summon, Minor Leader): Experience (0/100) Attack 1, Defense 1, Health 10, Talent: Repair]

"Gearbone, is it?" Gu Su suppressed his slight displeasure, his tone as calm as a still lake. His gaze fell on Gearbone, and he asked directly, "Tell me, what exactly can you do?"

Gearbone bowed slightly, his tone respectful but not servile, and clearly explained his abilities one by one.

"My lord, your subordinate excels at repairing all kinds of machines and mechanisms. I can also use vines and wood to repair buildings.

Of the discarded junk salvaged by the scavenging team, your subordinate can repair about thirty percent, allowing it to be put back into use.

Furthermore, your subordinate and the skeletons under my command can be responsible for repairing the city's mechanical components and can also assist in the installation of various machinery and artillery."

After speaking, Gearbone paused slightly and added, "When installing machinery and artillery, we can reduce resource consumption by about 20%, saving your reserves to the greatest extent.

However, my abilities are limited. I am only proficient in repair and installation. Research and manufacturing of machinery are not our specialty, and we cannot provide assistance in that regard, my lord."

Gearbone spoke lightly, as if his abilities were insignificant, but Gu Su's eyes lit up with each word he spoke. His previous disdain and disappointment had long since vanished, replaced by undisguised surprise and eagerness.

He rejoiced inwardly.

This was far from insignificant; it was a treasure sent in a snowstorm!

Putting aside other matters, the Earth Vein mission he had previously received would undoubtedly require undead skilled in repair and installation if they were to later add a mobile power system or various supporting mechanical components to the Earth Vein.

After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, everything salvaged was broken and discarded junk, with nothing intact. To truly put them to use, it all depended on repair skills.

Gearbone's appearance had undoubtedly solved his urgent need. It was even more important and valuable for his current development than the birth of a combat-type minor leader.

"Very good, very good!"

Gu Su's face broke into a full smile, and his tone became much gentler, shedding his previous indifference and impatience.

"You will immediately take your subordinates and conduct a comprehensive inspection and repair of the territory's city walls and gates. Ensure that all damaged areas are identified and repaired promptly, leaving no hidden dangers."

He paused slightly, then added, "Afterward, you can select from the various materials salvaged by the Ash Squad to see if there's anything that can be repaired and put back into use."

"Your subordinate obeys!" Gearbone respectfully accepted the order. Before he even finished speaking, he turned, quickly gathered his subordinate skeletons, and swiftly marched towards the territory's city walls, disappearing from sight in an instant, already preparing to engage in repair work.

After settling the Gearbone squad, Gu Su slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the undead waiting for orders before him.

The five elite skeletons stood tall, their bones gleaming white. The eight ordinary skeletons were neatly lined up, heads bowed, awaiting orders. In addition, six ghouls stood silently to the side, exuding a faint stench of decay, yet remaining obedient and still, without any unusual movements.

Gu Su pondered for a moment. Without a complete combat squad, there wouldn't be a complete combat squad.

He would train the undead warriors first.

With this thought, a decisive glint flashed in Gu Su's eyes. Without further hesitation, he decisively issued his command.

"All of you, come here at once, enter the combat outpost, and immediately transform into undead warriors!"

Upon hearing Gu Su's command, these undead quickly walked into the combat outpost.

It was strange, really. The combat outpost, viewed from the outside, was only less than four square meters, yet so many undead entered without any sense of crowding.

Only the constant "ding ding ding" sounds reached Gu Su's ears as large amounts of Yin energy were rapidly deducted, and gold coins, metal, and wood quickly disappeared.

Gu Su did not let his first batch of undead warriors suffer. In addition to these materials, Gu Su also threw in some beast hides.
