One had to remember that a territorial war had just taken place. The Bone Hill Formation had Devoured the corpses and grievances of so many violent deaths, yet it had ultimately produced only a dozen or so Netherdemon Army soldiers.
At an estimated value of around 150 Spirit Crystals per Netherdemon Army soldier, this Bone Hill Formation could bring in less than three thousand Spirit Crystals at most.
The Netherdemon Army obeyed orders without question, and their Spirit Force attributes were uniform, making them suitable for a command-type Evolver. Bai Xiaowen also had Death God's Visage, allowing him to expend Soul Essence to temporarily strengthen the Netherdemon Army. Those were all advantages.
But there was one problem: the Netherdemon Army had little room for growth!
They could be regarded as the Evolver version of Skeleton Workers. While they possessed the advantages of undead creatures, their drawbacks were equally obvious: they lacked the potential for breakthroughs.
Not to mention the stringent requirements for the "raw materials." They had to be corpses of the dead at level 11 or above who carried grievances, and they had to have died within the past three days...
Thinking about it, that made sense. Without such harsh conditions, the Great Tang Domain would probably have gone mad producing troops, expanding the Netherdemon Army to the population limit of its territory. It would not be so weak.
If Bai Xiaowen wanted to expand the Netherdemon Army, he had another utterly deranged option: lure large numbers of Five Elements Banners martial artists into the Bone Hill Formation, kill them, and convert them into Netherdemon Army soldiers—but that plan challenged Bai Xiaowen's moral limits too much. Moreover, in the long run, the Netherdemon Army, which lacked growth potential, was not as promising as Five Elements Banners martial artists.
