Chapter 982 Encroachment

Soon, under the leadership of Catherine, a group of people came to an open-pit mine. From a distance, a group of skeleton miners in ragged clothes were mining the mine, and several strong skeletons in armor with long knives Soldiers act as guardians around.

"Are there only a few skeleton soldiers guarding it?" Song Jian was a little surprised. He originally thought that there must be many soldiers in the Lich that can transform corpses into soldiers. This mine is also a relatively important resource, and it will definitely be heavily guarded. .

"This is a tenth-level skeleton soldier, and he can already be promoted to a skeleton warrior!" Catherine rolled her eyes and said, "Besides, with the reputation of the Lich's brutality, it is too late for others to hide from it. How could they take the initiative to provoke it? These skeleton soldiers are just Tell others that this is the territory of the Lich Karada, and if you want to invade it, you must start a fight with it!"

Song Jian nodded, moved all the soldiers to Catherine's command, and said, "This battle is up to you."

"What, let me command the battle?" Catherine was a little surprised.

"Yes, otherwise what would I recruit you for?" Song Jian said with a natural look.

Catherine: "...Although this is what I expected, but seeing his expression, I'm really angry!"

Song Jian has already discovered that in this assessment world, fighting anyone will not gain anything for him. Without combat experience, the equipment and resources obtained cannot be taken away from this world.

Moreover, what he encountered now were all low-level troops, and there were no powerful ones at all, which made him a little discouraged.

"Maybe take some time to go to the Elf Mountains and meet the black dragon for a while, maybe there will be unexpected gains!" Song Jian watched as Catherine led the army to rush up, thinking that he seemed to have a mission to destroy the Dark Lord.

Although the few skeleton soldiers guarding the mine were already at the tenth level, the army led by Catherine was much stronger than them. The battle ended after only a few minutes, and the rest was to clear the skeleton workers in the mine.

Although these skeleton workers have no fighting power, their existence will still scare ordinary people. If they are not cleared, human miners will not come to work here, and it will not be long before there will be "haunted mines" Such rumors spread.

Seeing Catherine's proud expression, after clearing all the skeleton miners and occupying the mine, she walked towards Song Jian with a proud expression.

Song Jian suddenly remembered something and said, "In the previous battle, the army didn't seem to maintain a high morale?"

Catherine's face froze, and she said with a worried face: "The morale of the human army will decrease when it encounters the undead army. Only when the strength is more than twice that of the undead army, will they launch an active attack. This is common sense..."

"Oh, that's right!" Song Jian also found that the lucky gem seems to be only effective on the army led by the user. Even if Catherine is the hero he recruited, the lucky gem can't have an effect on the army led by her.

"You take this, it will be easier to fight against the undead army in the future!" Song Jian took out the lucky gem and handed it to Catherine.

"Treasure?" Catherine's eyes lit up. She, a princess, is not qualified to own this kind of strategic treasure. Only those powerful commanders can have it.

"Lucky gems? Increase luck, and at the same time ensure that the morale of the army is always high?" Catherine took the gems and examined them carefully, with a pleasant smile on her face.

"Luck can increase the chances of the army triggering skills and increase the chances of resistance to negative effects. High morale will enable the army to fight bravely no matter how powerful the enemy they encounter, and will never break up and run away!" Catherine said. Looking at Song Jian incredulously, he said, "Are you really willing to give me such a precious treasure?"

"Of course not..." Song Jian looked at Catherine with a surprised face and said, "This is just for you to use, and you will have to return it to me after you use it up!"

Catherine's smile froze, and the good feelings she had just had for Song Jian dissipated a lot. After putting away the lucky gems, she whispered, "Stingy..."

"The mine has been captured, that Lich named Karada must have received the news, right?" Looking into the distance, he said to himself.

"Of course, every lord is very concerned about their own resource points. Unless they are delayed by more important things, they will come here to check as soon as possible." Catherine looked at Song Jian with some concern, but Thinking of the terrifying skills released by Song Jian before, Catherine still has full confidence in him.

The two waited in the mine for more than half an hour, until the recruited human miners rushed over and started working, but the Lich Karada did not show up.

"Maybe it was delayed by some important matter..." Catherine looked at Song Jian in surprise and said in a low voice.

"Then we will continue to occupy its resource points!" Song Jian said expressionlessly.

Catherine was silent for a moment and said: "I think we should just let it go. Being able to seize a mine from it is already a remarkable achievement. If we continue, we may become sworn enemies with it..."

"Humans and Lich are sworn enemies, right?" Song Jian looked at Catherine in surprise, not understanding the thinking of people in this world.

The minds of non-human races must be different, not to mention that undead creatures originally need human corpses to transform into soldiers. Such an existence is fundamentally opposed to the human race.

If the opponent is too powerful, there is no problem in retreating temporarily, but burying yourself in the sand like an ostrich, ignoring the existence of the Lich, and not even daring to make an enemy of it, such an approach will only make this person Lich is getting stronger and stronger.

Catherine sighed, shook her head slightly, and stopped talking. Before, several human lords formed an army to kill the Lich Lord, but they were all consumed by the opponent's massive army in front of the opponent's castle.

Since then, the nearby lords have never mentioned the decision to subjugate the Lich. As long as the other party does not expand, the surrounding lords have acquiesced in the existence of the Lich lord.

With Catherine's guidance, Song Jian's efficiency in occupying resource points increased greatly. In just over two hours, he occupied seven or eight resource points, most of which were occupied by the Lich Lord Karada.

"The resource points in the east and south are almost all occupied by you, and the rest is the west and north. But to go to the west, we have to bypass the Elf Mountains. It is said that there is a black dragon there, and in the north, we need to bypass it. The castle of the Lich Karada..." Catherine felt very strange that the Lich Karada hadn't come out. They had already occupied almost half of the Lich's resource points, but the other party seemed to be unaware of it.

"Then continue, since it won't come out, let's go to its castle to see!" Song Jian said expressionlessly.

"What an arrogant fellow!"

A hoarse voice came from not far away. Song Jian turned his head and looked. On a big tree less than five meters away from him, a skeleton crow full of skeletons was watching with a pair of scarlet eyes. he.

Although it was just a skeleton crow, Song Jian could feel a mocking look in its eyes.

"Undead magic? Interesting!" Han Dong had a vague smile on his lips, staring at the skeleton crow with an interested expression.
