The skeletons of the Sky Bow Battalion, under the watchful eyes of others, were busy processing the Savage Beasts they had obtained earlier.
Savage Beasts were a kind of semi-magical creature. They were born with magical beast bloodlines, but had to awaken those bloodlines as adults to become magical beasts.
The Big-Horned Oxen of Kurd City were a typical semi-magical species.
Some Big-Horned Oxen were magical beasts, while others were not.
Wyverns became magical beasts upon reaching adulthood. They were a magical beast species.
The flesh of semi-magical creatures was highly nutritious. The Sky Bow Battalion's skeletons butchered the dead Savage Beasts.
They absorbed the Savage Beasts' blood. The Skeleton Chefs turned the finest cuts into long-lasting jerky, and made soup from the scraps and edible organs to feed the soldiers of the Hobarton Family.
After the skeletons had stripped off the meat, they treated the intact skeletons with preservatives and loaded them onto supply wagons to be transported back to Wrynn Territory.
A few Savage Beasts that had narrowly survived were treated by Low-Grade Yellow Bone Dragon-Vein Skeletons and then kept in captivity.
The skeletons were nature's movers. If they couldn't find suitable magical beasts to raise, they simply transported creatures other forces had already tamed.
The Wyverns in Kurd City, for example, had been seized from the Wyvern Cavalry of the Orc Empire.
The Savage Beasts were yet another spoil of war taken from the Orcs.
The skeletons were grateful to the Orcs for making tameable magical beasts and semi-magical creatures appear in the natural world.
The Barbarian Cavalry Legion had been wiped out by the Sky Bow Battalion, so no one criticized them for keeping the spoils of war for themselves.
They were counting on the Sky Bow Battalion to show its strength against troublesome enemy legions
