Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

"That’s right, that’s right!" Several Black Iron and Bronze followers nodded in agreement.

...

"Please ask Major Zhang Fei to come over, and then open the city gate." Fang Zhou instructed the messenger beside him.

Fang Zhou and his team, although they have temporary jurisdiction over the garrison, still find it most appropriate for the original Tiger Suppression Fortress officers to manage the garrison’s defense tasks.

"Open the city gate!"

"Boom!"

The thick city gate slowly opened, driven by magic stone power, emitting a tremendous sound.

"Enter the city!"

Outside the city, an officer commanded loudly, and soon stepped in neat formation into the Tiger Suppression Fortress.

They were met face-to-face with Fang Zhou dressed in a mage robe, alongside him were two Blood Spirit Warriors and the major commander of the garrison.

The pressure from these two Blood Spirit Warriors wasn’t small; the red armor was full of scars, clearly showing the fierce battles they had endured.

"I am Major Fang Zhou, deputy officer of the Tiger Suppression Fortress garrison. Commander, please step forward and present your orders."

Fang Zhou’s expression was solemn, his gaze swept over the incoming reinforcements.

Among these more than a thousand people, putting aside the garrison, the Black Iron and Bronze Tier professionals had both young and old, evidently a mix of adventurers and military school cadets.

Suddenly, Fang Zhou’s gaze sharpened, recognizing a familiar face.

And the person opposite also saw Fang Zhou.

"Haha, so Fang Zhou is here too!" The caster squad leader was overjoyed, his face showing excitement.

It’s actually Director Yan Yan! Fang Zhou looked at this familiar face.

Director Yan Yan and a garrison commander stepped out of the crowd, presenting their military orders for support.

Fang Zhou carefully checked them after taking them, showing a smile once verified.

"Director Yan Yan, and this major, please follow me to settle the soldiers properly.

Then, come along with me; Lieutenant Colonel Shen Zhongyun is waiting for you in his tower."

Afterward, Fang Zhou led them to settle their subordinate soldiers, then guided them into the central tower.

"Director Yan Yan, I didn’t expect you to come to our support.

Congratulations, you’ve broken through to Bronze Upper Rank." Fang Zhou, leading ahead, smiled.

Back in the Bronze Tier, Fang Zhou had a long association with Yan Yan and his Flame Medal Adventurer Group, participating in many battles together.

For example, the tomb exploration of the Naraku Civilization’s Skeleton Mage.

And exterminating demons in a cave during a past Beastmen disturbance.

However, recently Fang Zhou broke through a bottleneck and advanced to Silver Tier, leading to a busy schedule.

Moreover, upon arriving at Beast Fighting City for service, he encountered a rare Beastmen frenzy, having no time to catch up with Yan Yan and others.

"Major Fang Zhou, don’t tease me.

It’s only been a few months, and you’ve already advanced to Silver.

Compared to you, what does my progress mean?"

Director Yan Yan showed a warm smile, but felt emotionally overwhelmed inside.

What do these young people eat to grow?

How could it be, just a few months, and this guy is already at Silver!"

Director Yan Yan kept complaining inwardly.

He couldn’t have imagined that the young military school cadet, nearly on par with him half a year ago, had already far surpassed him.

"Old Yan!"

Shen Zhongyun saw Fang Zhou leading people in and smiled to greet them.

Shen Zhongyun and Yan Yan had formed a friendship in their youth.

Although their career talents differed, as over ten years passed, Shen Zhongyun joined the Longxia army and advanced to Silver Upper Rank as a Lieutenant Colonel.

Meanwhile, Yan Yan only became a Bronze Upper Rank leader of a small adventurer group, but their communication remained quite close.

In this Beastmen frenzy, they could work together in a small fortress—this too was a kind of fate.

.............

Ever since reinforcements arrived, the Tiger Suppression Fortress became quieter.

Other fortresses outside were ablaze with war, but Tiger Suppression Fortress recently was remarkably calm.

Except for occasional scouting small groups of Beastmen, there were no large groups attacking.

Yan Yan and his team seemed lucky, for arriving at Tiger Suppression Fortress was indeed a good place.

If they had gone to other fortresses, the danger of battle could have led to their deaths.

Although there were no enemies, everyone at Tiger Suppression Fortress still dared not be careless.

As the most powerful Undead Mage, the assignment of patrol missions fell on Fang Zhou.

Although a mana scan could be used, work is work, and mana scanning cannot provide pressure on the garrison.

Personally leading the inspection can make these garrisons more alert.

With no enemy attacks, besides welcoming reinforcements, Tiger Suppression Fortress reopened its logistics supply line.

During this period, Fang Zhou exchanged military merit and contribution points directly for undead attribute resources sufficient to make 15 Silver-grade Blood Spirit Warriors.

This was due to the Beast Fighting City battlefield entering a crucial strategic stalemate phase.

The Longxia Federation’s military headquarters poured extensive resources into this battlefield.

Even the logistics resource libraries of the top ten military schools were opened to the soldiers of Beast Fighting City.

This allowed Fang Zhou to acquire scarce undead attribute resources.

It emptied the existing stocks of Beast Fighting City and the top ten military schools, fearing no more would be available anytime soon.

After casting, the hatching sarcophagi for Blood Spirit Warriors were made complete.

All that was needed was a wait for them to absorb enough energy, then awaken these Blood Spirit Warriors using Artificial Undead Skills, thus Fang Zhou’s power could continue expanding.
