There Is Only Stance, Not Right or Wrong

"Sigma, glory belongs to us!"

After a bloody battle, the Minotaur Chieftain's backup axe split the skull of the second-tier Magic Beast.

The second-tier Magic Beast died, and the Minotaur Shaman shouted loudly before collapsing.

"Then, Kil'jaeden, what was the cost?"

The Minotaur Chieftain swept his gaze across the battlefield, finding only sorrow, no joy in victory.

To kill this second-tier Magic Beast, all the Tribe Warriors he had brought out died here.

His right-hand man, the Minotaur Shaman Kil'jaeden who had supported him all the way, fell after the victory.

He himself was covered in wounds, his left arm severed at the shoulder and still clamped tightly in the second-tier Magic Beast's jaws.

Looking at the Transcendental Skeletons closing in, the Minotaur Chieftain knew this battle had no victor.

When the snipe and the clam grapple, it's the fisherman who profits.

"For the tribe!"

At the end of his strength, the Minotaur Chieftain launched a desperate charge.

Soon, the already gravely wounded Minotaur Chieftain died under the siege of the Transcendental Skeletons.

And the tribe he had yearned for with all his heart was already history.

The tragic end of the Minotaur Chieftain made Medivh's group look like villains.

But in the struggle for racial survival, there are only positions, no right or wrong, good or evil.

If the Minotaur Tribe had been stronger and Kurd City District had been breached, then it would have been Medivh's turn to be tragic.

Without wasting time on sentiment, Medivh waved his hand for the skeletons to clean up the battlefield, packing up the bodies of the Minotaur warriors and the second-tier Magic Beast together.

The Magic Beast blood spilled on the ground, along with the stained soil, was shoveled away, ensuring no resource was wasted.

The skeletons didn't complain; they just worked hard.

Load after load, before dawn, the skeletons had emptied the Minotaur Tribe.

Under the morning sun in Kurd City District, Medivh tallied the losses and gains of this operation.

The Minotaurs were tall and sturdy, with great strength, using heavy weapons like Meat-Cleaving Great Axes, Great Hammers, and Maces.

When Minotaur warriors fought desperately in a blood rage, their killing power was formidable.

The Time Skeletons had high bone density, but they were still somewhat fragile against heavy weapons that treated all equally.

In previous battles, the enemies mostly left the skeletons with some cuts and a degree of bone cracks, but no casualties.

This time was different. During the assault on the Minotaur Tribe, fourteen Green Bones, twenty-seven White Bones, and seventy-two Grey Bone Skeletons died in battle—a significant loss.

Twelve Skeleton Assassins luring the Minotaur Chieftain were killed in the encirclement.

The Skeleton Assassins were all high-year Green Bone Skeletons, touching the threshold of the first tier.

Their sacrifice was the greatest loss of this operation.

There was no help for it; their opponents were too strong. The Minotaur Chieftain and Minotaur Shaman personally led the charge, bringing many Transcendental Minotaur Warriors to hunt them down.

If the Bone Spirit Assassins hadn't had a flash of inspiration and used the cunning plan of driving the tiger to devour the wolf, the Skeleton Assassins luring the Minotaur Chieftain would likely have all died.

In the end, the Skeleton Assassins proved more skilled, not only overfulfilling their delaying mission but also killing the Minotaurs hunting them and a second-tier Magic Beast.

For this operation, the Skeleton Assassins deserved the highest merit!

Merit should be rewarded. Medivh awarded the blood of that second-tier Magic Beast to the Skeleton Assassins.

After tallying the losses, Medivh began to inspect the gains.

The fresh Minotaur corpses were useless to him; after special treatment, they would be buried by the skeletons in the Graveyard District.

He paid little attention to the Minotaur Tribe's treasures, directly hauling them into the Armory Camp's warehouse.

What Medivh focused on were the bones excavated from the Minotaur Ancestral Graveyard.

This Minotaur Tribe had existed for quite some time. The bones in the ancestral graveyard, after treatment, had barely decayed into dust.

In the underground warehouse of the central castle, over sixteen thousand Minotaur skeletons were piled up, including no small number of Blue Bones over three hundred years old and Purple Bones over five hundred years old.

Medivh made a rough inspection with his spiritual vision. The oldest skeleton among them had a history of seven hundred and fifty-six years.

That skeleton, appearing deep purple under his spiritual vision, gave Medivh a strong sense of pressure.

This skeleton had been very powerful in life, likely an ancestor of this Minotaur Tribe.

That was the extent of the Minotaur Tribe's historical depth; it didn't allow Medivh to see any bones above the Purple grade.

Having eliminated a potential threat and harvested a batch of quality bones, Medivh achieved his strategic goal.

The worsening famine in the Odyssey Region had nothing to do with Medivh.

They weren't short of food. As long as no one was foolish enough to attack Kurd City District, he wouldn't kill anyone.

For now, he only wanted to focus on resurrecting skeletons. The skeletons under his command would continue to perfect the Kurd Nine-Grid.

After receiving Medivh's reward, the Skeleton Assassin group had improved tremendously.

The two original Bone Spirit Assassins, after absorbing second-tier Magic Beast blood, advanced to first-tier intermediate Bone Spirits.

Fifteen of the Green Bone Skeleton Assassins awakened Bone Spirit Power after bathing in second-tier Magic Beast blood, becoming first-tier low-grade Bone Spirits.

Magic Beasts were treasures from head to toe; the meat of second-tier Magic Beasts would become resources for Medivh and Audrey to cultivate Battle Qi.

The magic cores of second-tier Magic Beasts were also precious resources, but unfortunately Medivh knew too little magic to understand how to develop their value.

The Frost Deer's magic core from before had been used by him as a cooling source for the Underground Freezer.

The Bloodthirsty Mosquito's magic core was gathering dust in the treasury, and this second-tier magic core would receive the same treatment.

Without a magical inheritance, Medivh wasn't worried; he could resurrect Skeleton Mages and draw knowledge from history.

He had only known Bone Resurrection before, but now he had learned three common spells, and the library also housed five fire-type spell inheritances.

As long as he had time, nothing was a problem; history would give him answers and pass down lost knowledge for him.

The bones of ordinary Minotaurs, like Cat-man bones, were smelted into human skeletal components.

Just as ordinary Cat-man bones were smelted into special Ranger Assassin Skeleton components, ordinary Minotaur bones were also smelted into special profession skeletal components.

Medivh selected a batch of high-year Green Bones to smelt, and the assembled resurrection produced Heavy Skeleton Warriors.

Heavy Skeleton Warriors were immensely robust, standing a full two and a half meters tall.

They had bone armor of exaggerated thickness, their primary main weapon was a Bone Heavy Hammer, and their secondary weapons were a pair of Mountain-Splitting Bone Axes crossed and hanging on their backs.

Heavy Skeleton Warriors were extremely powerful, holding an overwhelming advantage against skeleton warriors of the same tier in combat.

Audrey tested them and said that without using Battle Qi, she couldn't do anything to the thick-skinned Heavy Skeleton Warriors, while their attacks posed a significant threat to her.

Even using Battle Qi, Audrey couldn't kill a heavily armored Heavy Skeleton Warrior in a short time.

Having a new high-combat-power skeleton variant, Medivh was very satisfied.

The sacrifice was worth it; Kurd City would become even stronger.

After resurrecting the Heavy Skeleton Warriors, Medivh began refining the remains of the Transcendental Minotaur, attempting to assemble a Transcendental Skeleton.

While he was busy smelting bones, Suixin and Suihua used materials scavenged from the Minotaur Tribe to concoct a spiritual liquid specially used for drawing Inheritance Spirit Runes.
