Eventually, she managed to bite off a piece, savoring it in her mouth.
At that moment, the area where she had bitten into the chop was already drenched in her saliva.
Although the meat was grilled to a hardened state, it was surprisingly delicious.
Bayou's eyes sparkled.
She had expected it to be quite unpalatable.
After finishing the pork chop, Bayou's lips and hand were slick with grease, sticky and messy.
It took her some effort to clean up and by now the clock was edging towards midnight.
She spent a little time perusing the world chat to pass the time.
Finally, the system clock struck 12.
Bayou had been waiting beside the barracks and the familiar prompt reappeared.
The necroantic crystal has been fully charged.
Would you like to recruit immediately? Bayou took a deep breath as she regarded the options before her, then unhesitatingly chose yes.
With a sense of urgency, she invoked the summoning, hoping for the blessings of the dragon warrior.
The necroantic crystal shimmerred with a green light behind which gradually formed 10 silhouettes.
Among them, one figure stood out as particularly colossal, measuring over 10 m in length and 5 m in height.
The others were similar in size to the skeletal soldiers.
Bayou was instantly captivated by this immense creature.
Ha! Fortune has finally smiled upon her.
She could clearly discern the troops summoned this time.
A gigantic bone dragon, three zombies, two wraiths, and four undead knights.
It was a veritable jackpot of low tier units.
The bone dragon lowered its skeletal head to the ground.
Its eyes ablaze with blue flames, its wings sprawled across the earth.
Esteemed Queen, your servant greets you, it proclaimed, astonishing by you as both the bone dragon and the wraiths articulated human speech.
She quickly realized that high tier undead possessed intelligence.
The wraiths being spectral entities among the lower tier undead were among the few that exhibited sensience.
A panel displaying the information of the four distinct units appeared before by you.
Clearly, the bone dragon was the highest tier entity among them.
Without hesitation, she chose to examine the bone dragon's details.
Bone dragon king, unnamed.
Prompt.
You have summoned the sovereign of the bone dragon lineage.
Growth limit.
God level.
Active skill.
Ethereal dragon breath.
Ethereal dragon breath.
Exhales a ghostly blue flame that erodess the souls of enemies and freezes their bodies.
Passive skill.
Elemental magic immunity by you gasast in astonishment.
To her surprise, it was not an ordinary bone dragon.
But the king of the bone dragon lineage, the skeletal dragon king.
This was truly extraordinary.
Its initial attributes at level one surpassed those of the level five howling moon silver wolf.
Wait, the growth limit is at the divine level.
How marvelous.
This signifies that the skeletal dragon king has the potential to ascend to divinity.
With such high initial attributes, its growth potential is unparalleled compared to other ordinary units.
Bayou noticed that the skeletal dragon king had additional skills displayed behind it, but they were in a gray locked state, indicating that they could not be viewed.
She speculated that this was due to her current low level, which had yet to unlock them.
However, since it was a western dragon, she felt it fitting to bestow it a western name, connecting it to its heritage.
From now on, you shall be called Arthur.
Bayou declared to the skeletal dragon king.
Thank you, my king, for the name.
Arthur immediately responded with reverence.
Bayou suddenly felt that the frost dragon at top the snowcapped mountains was no longer so terrifying.
Given time to grow, Arthur would surely be capable of overpowering the frost dragon.
She no longer wished to have the frost dragon as a mount.
For she now possessed the far more impressive Arthur.
After a moment of joy, she turned her attention to the other three ordinary units nearby.
The undead knight dawn tattered floating armor with blue cursed flames burning within.
Riding a skeletal horse that also blazed with blue flames.
Wielding a green scythe as a weapon.
The big pot and mud dropythe are not as appealing as the nest drop scythe.
The wraith floated in the air.
Its form ethereal emitting a chill.
Adept its soul attacks primarily because you lack any physical attack methods.
In stark contrast, the zombie appeared as a decaying corpse, moving sluggishly, not resembling the lively zombies from Bayou's past life dramas, nor were they akin to the undead.
Yet, she felt they bore a resemblance to zombies, devoid of any weaponry.
This zombie seemed even more pitiful than the skeleton soldier.
Bayou chose to inspect the zombie- s attributes first, as it left her feeling quite disappointed.
Unit name zombie growth limit commander level to buy you's astonishment.
This seemingly pathetic zombie also had a growth limit of commander level though its other attributes were virtually identical to those of the skeleton soldier.
Thus it seemed that skeletons and zombies were akin to unfortunate brothers in arms.
Next by you examined the attributes of the wraith.
Unit name wraith ethereal growth limit commander level.
The wraith lacked physical strength, replaced instead by spiritual attributes.
Being ethereal, it was considerably swifter than the skeleton soldier and zombie.
Fortunately, it possessed intelligence, allowing for conversation.
Finally, Bayou began to investigate the attributes of the undead knight, which required upgrading to a level two barracks to unlock.
The Death Knight possesses a growth limit of royal caliber with strength and agility significantly surpassing those of skeleton soldiers, zombies, and wraiths.
Although the growth potential has increased, it remains within reasonable balance.
Given that the most ordinary skeleton soldier can advance to level three and subsequently change classes, Bayou is confident that these units can too, and she has begun to harbor a sense of anticipation.
Arthur, take them out for hunting and leveling up.
Yes, esteemed queen.
Soon, Arthur led the three major troop types from the castle, embarking on a journey to engage in combat alongside the skeleton soldiers.
Yan, I'm off to sleep now.
See you tomorrow.
Chapter 11.
Transitioning professions.
A bountiful harvest at the break of dawn.
Bayou is greeted by a system announcement.
She dawned a pristine new outfit.
Discarding yesterday's garments into the wardrobe.
Casually, she slipped on a white t-shirt, allowing her long silvery hair to cascade loosely down her back.
She paired it with blue denim shorts and stepped out in flip-flops, eager to inspect the spoils of the previous night.
As time progressed, the various lords were enhancing their strength, and in the coming days, food might no longer be a scarce resource.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.
The early rising by you had provisions to sell.
Upon arriving at the castle gates, Bayou was taken aback by the mountainous pile of animal corpses before her.
