Chapter Summaries

While Wrynn Territory expanded its trade and infrastructure, Hilda led human forces in a war against Orcs on another plane and used the Sky Bow Battalion to rout their Barbarian Cavalry. The Orcs withdrew behind their city walls as the allied humans gained the upper hand.

• Medivh continued expanding Kurd City's Mage Towers and developing trade around Dragon Gate Ferry while Wrynn Territory quietly grew.
• Hilda's forces encountered the Orc Barbarian Cavalry, and other commanders urged her to retreat.
• Hilda ordered the Sky Bow Battalion to fire its Anti-Air Ballista Cannons and Sky Bow Ballista Cannons at the charging cavalry.
• The bombardment destroyed the Barbarian Cavalry Legion and killed many other Orc soldiers, sending the survivors fleeing.
• Hilda urged the allied commanders to pursue, and the Orc army retreated behind its city walls while the human forces taunted them.

The Sky Bow Battalion processed captured Savage Beasts while Hilda’s Human Allied Forces used its ballistae to seize Orc cities. When the Orcs launched a major attack with ground troops and Wyvern Cavalry, the battalion shot down the Wyverns and helped rout the Orc army.

• The Sky Bow Battalion’s skeletons butchered the captured Savage Beasts, preserved their bones for transport, and kept a few survivors in captivity.
• Hilda used the battalion’s ballistae to break the walls of Orc cities as the Human Allied Forces advanced.
• Orc Warlords led an attack against Hilda’s main force, focusing their charge on the Sky Bow Battalion’s ballistae.
• The Sky Bow Battalion’s skeletons fired on the incoming Wyvern Cavalry and killed Wyverns before they could reach the position.
• Skeleton Chefs fought off Orcs who attacked their cooking squad while the allied soldiers clashed with the ground forces.
• After the Wyvern Cavalry fell, the Orcs lost morale and the Human Allied Forces pursued and routed them.

After the Sky Bow Battalion helped the Human Allied Forces defeat the Orc Army, Hilda secured the front while the skeletons collected Orc remains and excavated burial grounds. Back in Kurd, Medivh supplied Anti-Air Ballistae to allied families but refused to sell the specialized Sky Bow Ballistae, and other families sought to place orders.

• The Wyvern Cavalry's defeat shattered Orc morale, and the Human Allied Forces pursued the retreating army and captured its front-line cities and fortresses.
• The Sky Bow Battalion stayed behind to salvage surviving Wyverns and collect Orc corpses, while Light Priests observed the skeletons but found no proof that they were evil undead.
• Hilda halted the allied advance and ordered the forces to dig in as the Sky Bow Battalion excavated Orc burial grounds in occupied territory and other human-held lands.
• Hilda wrote to Medivh about the battalion's battlefield success and discoveries, then said she looked forward to reuniting with him and Jaina after her deployment.
• Medivh gave the Hobarton Family a hundred Anti-Air Ballistae, while the Loran Family agreed to buy a hundred more and learned that its members could not operate the specialized Sky Bow Ballistae.
• Other families from the Loran City-State sent envoys to Kurd to order Anti-Air Ballistae, but Medivh refused to sell them indiscriminately.

Medivh bartered Anti-Air Ballistas to the Loran City-States for magical materials and priority access to the Plane Portal, then supplied and trained their operators. After delivering hundreds of weapons, he stayed in Kurd City as a Wild Mage while the nobles began using the ballistas in campaigns on other planes.

• Medivh restricted the Anti-Air Ballistas' efficient power mode to Bone Spirits, making frequent use by buyers costly and helping him negotiate for magical materials.
• The Loran Noble Council granted the Wrynn Family priority use of the Plane Portal in exchange for raising the purchase limit to twenty Anti-Air Ballistas per family.
• Medivh delivered the weapons in Kurd City and had skeleton operators train the recipients; he also agreed to send some ballistas to Fiona's Knight Territory.
• After more than half a month of training, Cargo Airships carried seven hundred Anti-Air Ballistas and qualified operators back to the Loran City-States.
• Medivh remained in Kurd City rather than joining the Mage Association, while Isabella and Finel represented him in trading magical materials.
• The Loran families deployed the Anti-Air Ballistas in campaigns on other planes, where their Firepower Battalions achieved strong results.

Medivh advanced to a Tier 3 Mid-Grade Mage, revived a Mid-Grade Yellow Bone Metal-Eating Dragon Skeleton, and continued developing his forces and magical equipment. He reached the limit of maintaining two Bone Spirit Substitutes and tested a six-armed skeleton formed from his Bone Power.

• Medivh kept Anti-Air Ballistae scarce and postponed a second batch while Loran nobles gathered materials for future purchases.
• Medivh broke through his cultivation bottleneck and revived a Mid-Grade Yellow Bone Metal-Eating Dragon Skeleton for the Hengduan Mountains mines.
• The Skeleton Mage Corps developed new Magic Rune Swords and continued working on Spirit Rune Battle Armor and weapons.
• Medivh revived hundreds of Yellow-Grade skeletons and tens of thousands of lower-grade skeletons while advancing his Origin Bone Artifact and Bone Spirit Substitute to Low-Grade Blue Bone.
• Medivh created a second Bone Spirit Substitute, realized he could maintain only two for now, and formed a ten-meter-tall six-armed skeleton to attack a Test Puppet with arrows, bone hands, and a Bone Spear.

Medivh tested the Giant Six-Armed Skeleton and learned that a Magma Dragon in Black Furnace Fortress was tempting his Dragon-Vein Skeletons. He confronted her to obtain her pure dragon blood, leaving both sides poised for a destructive standoff.

• Medivh tested the Giant Six-Armed Skeleton, and Bishop Moana recognized its fused powers and Holy Light imprints.
• Medivh learned that a hidden presence was tempting the Dragon-Vein Skeletons and deduced that a purer-blooded dragon shared their ancestry.
• Medivh sent the Blue Bone Avatar and an elite force into the Kobold Ancestral Graveyard, where the Kobold Dragonblood Sorcerer led them to a Magma Pool.
• A young Magma Dragon emerged and demanded that Medivh leave, threatening to trigger the Earth Vein and flood Black Furnace Fortress with magma.
• Medivh refused to leave and prepared Wrynn Dark Tower to suppress the elements or self-destruct, while the Magma Dragon demanded to know what he wanted.

Mediv fought the Lava Dragon alone, using their battle to absorb her blood and strengthen his body until he advanced to the peak of the Third Rank as a Bone Spirit. He left the Lava Dragon airborne and continued attacking her with the Giant Six-Armed Skeleton’s weapons.

• Mediv sent his Skeleton Legion back and challenged the Lava Dragon to a one-on-one fight, while Lux and the other Light Priestesses watched with Bishop Moana.
• The Lava Dragon landed to fight the Giant Six-Armed Skeleton at close range, and Mediv used its bone armor and weapons to withstand her attacks and absorb her blood.
• Holy Light shone across the Giant Six-Armed Skeleton as its armor healed, confusing the Lava Dragon and the young Priestesses while Bishop Moana noticed the Dragon’s blood entering Mediv’s body.
• After absorbing enough Dragon blood, Mediv refined his bones to top-grade Blue Bone and reached the peak of the Third Rank, but his flesh strained under the transformation.
• The Lava Dragon took to the sky, and the Giant Six-Armed Skeleton pursued her with arrows, Bone Chains, Bone Spears, and Bone Spikes.

Medivh repeatedly defeated the Lava Dragon with his growing Skeleton Golem, keeping her alive and treating her after each fight. After her seventh loss, she refused to fight or submit, and Medivh ordered the Golem to lash her back into battle.

• Medivh drained the Lava Dragon's blood after defeating her, then healed her instead of killing her.
• The Lava Dragon recovered and challenged Medivh again, but the Skeleton Golem wore her down and defeated her a second time.
• Medivh repeatedly fought and defeated the Lava Dragon, improving the Skeleton Golem with new bone weapons and chains until she had lost six times.
• During their seventh duel, the Skeleton Golem bound the Lava Dragon and rode on her back until repeated blows brought her down.
• The Lava Dragon refused Healing Magic Potion and rejected Medivh's demand to submit, so he ordered the Skeleton Golem to lash her with its Bone Whip.

Medivh forced the Lava Dragon to surrender and form a Dragon Partner Contract, then settled her in an underground nest in Kurd City. After enjoying his food and hospitality, she offered to help him acquire inheritable dragon blood so he could strengthen his body and control the Skeleton Golem more easily.

• When the Lava Dragon threatened to destroy the Earth Vein, she discovered the Wrynn Dark Tower had already pacified it and agreed to a Dragon Partner Contract on the condition that Medivh use her blood only with her permission.
• Medivh and the Lava Dragon completed their blood and spiritual contracts, making her his partner and revealing her true name, Oriana.
• Medivh fed Oriana Elemental Crystals and Magma Spirit Fruits, and she eagerly ate them and followed him toward Kurd City.
• Medivh secretly settled Oriana in Kurd City's Underground City and had her nest transformed into a volcanic habitat filled with gems.
• Oriana offered to help Medivh acquire inheritable dragon blood and become a Dragonblood Knight and Dragonblood Sorcerer.

Medivh became a Half-Dragon with Lava Dragon Oriana’s help, mastered his Extreme Blue Bone Body, and shared a meal with his family and the dragon. Meanwhile, Lux and Freya revised a biography about Medivh at the Light Church.

• Oriana gave Medivh her Origin Dragon Blood, transforming him into a Half-Dragon and granting him Dragon Vein Spells and fire and earth affinities.
• Medivh fully mastered his Extreme Blue Bone Body and thanked the weakened Oriana, then fed her healing potions and roasted meat.
• Oriana enjoyed Medivh’s cooking, offered to strengthen Anduin and Jaina’s bloodlines when they were older, and asked for five roast lambs each day; Medivh agreed.
• Audrey joined Medivh and the children for lunch while Oriana sampled roast lamb and other food.
• At the Light Church, Lux urged Freya to make Medivh’s biography more accurately reflect his heroic deeds.

Medivh adapted his powers to his Half-Dragon Body, developed new techniques, and continued his cultivation while secretly caring for the Lava Dragon Oriana. During the rainy season, he arranged transport agreements in Kurd City and welcomed Hilda home from vacation.

• Medivh combined Earth and Flame Battle Qi into Lava Battle Qi and tested his defensive Obsidian Armor against Audrey and Isabella.
• Medivh practiced the Lava Dragon's Dragon Language Spells, cultivated his powers, and began developing Bone Origin Dragon Wings for his Skeleton Golems.

• Medivh sorted the newly arrived bones while Audrey, Hilda, and the others enjoyed afternoon tea in Kurd City.
• The Breeze Merchant Group’s Cargo Airships departed over flood-stricken downstream territories, where Murlocs roamed and residents sheltered in Military Castles.

Medivh sent a massive mixed army with Hilda to join the Plane War on Horn, while secretly using a Bone Spirit Substitute to establish a skeleton base. When the army reached Horn, he moved its skeletons to the unclaimed Ulan Gobi to begin excavations without waiting for the Loran City-State and Holland Kingdom to settle territorial arrangements.

• The Second Elder and Hilda prepared to leave Kurd City for the new Plane War, and Medivh volunteered to join Hilda.
• Medivh dispatched 220,000 troops from Kurd City and secretly sent a Bone Spirit Substitute with the skeleton army to explore ruins and establish a production base.
• The mixed army reached Wrynn Manor, where the Kurd Legion joined it and a replacement force stayed behind to defend and train.
• In late October, Hilda led the mixed army through the Plane Portal to Horn, where the Loran forces prepared to resist the Lizardman Kingdom alongside the Holland Kingdom.
• In early November, the Wrynn skeleton army moved to Ulan Gobi without orders, while the Sky Bow Battalions remained with Earl Hobarton; Marquis Kaman chose not to intervene.
• Medivh used the unclaimed Ulan Gobi to establish a base and begin excavations rather than wait for the kingdoms to agree on territory.

Medivh expanded Ulan City and continued developing Wrynn Territory while producing skeletons for his growing forces. In December, He Hua graduated from the Spirit Cat Warrior Academy and inherited her father’s Bow of Glory, pledging herself to Wrynn.

• The Skeleton Legion built Ulan City outward from its First District, while Lux delivered Medivh’s Holy Meal Tickets to the Ulan Light Church.
• Medivh’s Extreme Blue Bone Spirit Substitute moved into No. 1 High Tower Castle and resurrected more than twenty thousand skeletons in Ulan City.
• Medivh’s forces continued expanding districts and producing resources, weapons, and skeletons across Wrynn Territory as Kurd’s reserves of historical bones dwindled.
• He Hua told He Chuan that she had graduated from the Spirit Cat Warrior Academy.
• He Chuan gave He Hua the Bow of Glory, and she vowed to fight for Wrynn and serve Medivh.

Six years after settling in Kurd City, the Spirit Cat Tribe had grown into a powerful community serving Wrynn Territory. As the Loran City-State assigned battlefronts for its war against the Lizardman Kingdom, Hilda accepted an ambush mission while Medivh continued developing Ulan City in the Ulan Gobi.

• The Spirit Cat Tribe grew to more than two hundred thousand residents, with over fifty second-tier cat-men and more than a thousand first-tier cat-men, while Riddle died after the tribe settled in Kurd City.
• Marquis Kaman assigned Hilda and the Sky Bow Battalion to ambush the Dragon-Lizard Cavalry Legion, and Hilda accepted the mission.
• The allied forces departed for their assigned battlefronts without contacting the Skeleton Legion in the Ulan Gobi.
• The Second Elder guessed that Medivh was building walls in the Ulan Gobi, and Hilda silently agreed.
• Medivh's forces completed Ulan City's twenty-five neighborhoods and built the Wrynn Dark Tower, whose Magic Runes began turning gravel into soil.

Medivh’s Elemental Array transformed Ulan City’s frozen desert into a humid oasis, drawing attention from the Church of Light. Meanwhile, the Human Allied Forces destroyed the Lizardmen’s elite Dragon-Lizard Cavalry Regiment, and the chapter ended with spring growth appearing across Ulan City.

• Lux read Freya’s biography about Medivh’s work transforming the Ulan Gobi, while Light Priests watched the changes and left some to supervise.
• Hilda ordered the Sky Bow Battalion to ambush the pursuing Dragon-Lizard Cavalry Regiment with ballista fire.
• The Second Elder intercepted fleeing Dragon-Blood Lizardmen and killed several with his Fierce Lion armor and sword.
• The Sky Bow Battalion claimed the battlefield’s Dragon-Lizard mounts as spoils, and Marquis Kaman ordered the Human Allied Forces to attack.

Medivh quietly expanded Ulan City and used the Skeleton Legion’s battlefield success to secure benefits without revealing its true strength. The chapter ended with the skeletons transporting Lizardman corpses to Ulan City while nearby nobles and Light Priests watched without intervening.

• Ulan City expanded to a Third Ring as its inner blocks were transformed into fertile land and natural cold-storage facilities.
• The Human Allied Forces captured Lizardman fortresses, while Marquis Kaman credited the Sky Bow Battalion’s victories to its Iron-Clad Ballistae rather than the skeletons.
• Commanders sought to hire the Sky Bow Battalion, and Medivh arranged for two battalions to support them in exchange for archaeological excavation rights.
• Medivh’s archaeology and logistics teams arrived at the front, collected Lizardman corpses, and began excavating bones in occupied areas.
• Logistics Skeletons loaded fresh corpses onto wagons for transport to Ulan City as nobles speculated about their purpose and trusted the Church of Light to act if necessary.

The Church of Light cleared Medivh’s Extreme Blue Bone Spirit Substitute of the Lich label but sent priests to Ulan City to supervise him and his skeleton army. Later, new Spirit Cat Warriors began their Tower No. 1 duties, and Suixiang summoned Queling as Medivh finished painful bone tempering.

• The Horn Plane Light Priests followed the Logistics Skeleton convoy to Ulan City and saw that Medivh stored Lizardman corpses rather than turning them into undead.
• Medivh raised a Time Skeleton before the local Light Priests, who found that it lacked negative energy and softened their suspicions as Ulan City flourished.
• Bishops returned from Kurd City with evidence that Medivh had not fallen into evil, so the Church of Light removed the Lich label and sent an elite Priest Corps to supervise him.
• Medivh welcomed the new priests and gave them land for a Light Church, while respecting their boundaries by limiting the skeletons’ role in its construction.
• Queling warned new Spirit Cat Warriors about their Tower No. 1 duties, and He Hua joined the Queling Squad’s maid training and patrols.
• Suixiang called Queling to prepare the cat-girl maids after Medivh finished refining Bone Spirit Power and needed to relax.

Medivh paused tempering his bones because his mental strength was not yet sufficient, while continuing to cultivate and expand Ulan City without destroying the tundra ecosystem. The chapter also followed He Hua’s return from her Tower No. 1 rotation and showed how the tower’s service shaped the lives of its guards and maids.

• Medivh stopped tempering his bones after sensing that his mental strength was insufficient, though his Half-Dragon Body had helped him reach the peak of Third Rank Knight.
• Medivh had skeletons relocate tundra animals and plants into Ulan City’s pastures as spring revived the ecosystem, earning the Light Priests’ approval.
• He Hua returned home after her Queling Squad rotation and told her mother that her changes came from serving Medivh at Tower No. 1.
• He Chuan and his wife celebrated He Hua’s service with a Full Fish Feast, and the next morning the Queling Squad took new measurements to adjust her armor.
• The chapter described how High Tower Guards from the Spirit Cat, Spirit Fox, and Spirit Rabbit Tribes rotated through Tower No. 1, alongside permanent maids and human trainees.

The tribes of the Frozen Tundra formed an alliance and marched on Ulan City, believing the expanding city belonged to the Holland Kingdom or was ruled by a Lich. Medivh and Bishop Syndra negotiated with their chiefs, and the tribal representatives entered Ulan City to inspect it before deciding whether to settle there.

• The chiefs of the Frozen Tundra tribes formed the Tribal Allied Forces to defend their grazing grounds and marched toward Ulan City.
• The tribes saw skeletons on Ulan City's walls and reported what they believed was a Lich city to the Church of Light.
• Bishop Syndra met Medivh, then accompanied him and his skeleton army outside the city to negotiate with the tribal chiefs.
• Medivh invited the tribes to settle in Ulan City, while Bishop Syndra explained that its Bone Spirits were not undead and that the Church would remain neutral.
• The tribal chiefs trusted Bishop Syndra's judgment and sent representatives into Ulan City, where they were astonished by its environment.
