What else did you get? Bayou assumed the lack of a luck boosting effect was to blame, though it hardly mattered.

The Griffin auxiliary barracks had been a gamble from the start.

Nice if obtained, inconsequential if not.

Her undead legions had no need for aerial cavalry anyway.

The idea had been a whimsical one to assemble a unit of dwarf griffin riders to bolster Xiaoline forces.

Alas, the plan had fallen through.

Still, the 30 odd griffins they deceased weren't a bad consolation prize.

Guess we'll just have to go the elite route.

Equip only the dwars who v been promoted to leader class with griffins.

There were two weapons from that lord.

The whip and the flute she used earlier.

Also a second tier healing spell book.

Nothing else.

These items have been transferred to the warehouse.

Inaccessible to Xiao Leian Shuer who could only relay their existence verbally.

Of course, there was nothing else.

The Lord s pitiful stockpile had already been looted by Bayou and the only special structure had been the earlier ballista tower.

As for the Lord s own abilities, Bayou knew of at least three spells.

Yet only a single healing spell had dropped, utterly useless to her, lacking any offensive utility.

The flute, however, sounded intriguing based on Xiao Liu description.

It didn't t require the user to possess sound-based magic.

Simply playing, it would unleash attacks infused with sonic and metal magic.

Its sole function, controlling low intelligence beasts.

By US verdict, pathetic.

As for the other weapon, it was entirely unremarkable.

Nothing more than an enchantable item with no standout traits.

In short, Bayou found every single item from this lord worthless.

Had it been a soundbased spell book, perhaps she might be spared at a second glance.

Take all of it.

It ll helped strengthen your current forces.

With that, Bayou strode over and mounted her griffin.

Thanks, boss.

Xiao Yianua had grown accustomed to Bayou demeanor by now.

To a figure of her stature, only the exceptional held any value.

What Xiao Yianshi considered treasures, Bayu likely deemed mediocre at best.

Climbing onto her own griffin, Xiao Yiani prepared to depart with a powerful flap of its wings.

The griffin stirred up a cloud of dust on the ground as it soared through the air, bearing Bayou and Xiao Lianua, followed by 20 other griffins towards the direction of Xiao Liua's castle.

Time 2:00.

Bayou and Xiao Lianua successfully returned to the castle where the dwarf corpses have been fully summoned, adding nearly a thousand new undead to their ranks.

Each dwarf knight equated to one dwarf and one wild boar, thus translating to four undead.

A remarkable prophet indeed, Bayou entrusted a group of griffins to the dwarves, who were elated at the prospect of these majestic creatures becoming their mounts.

She also allowed Gray, the first to reach the rank of commander, to select one, signing a master servant contract that greatly motivated the dwarves to strengthen themselves.

The number of griffins was limited, and it was a matter of first come, first served.

Are you truly not interested in this healing spell? You could learn it for a mere 100 magic crystals.

Xiao Yianshi remarked, her gaze fixed on her spoils.

No, Bayu replied, and with a sigh, she spent a 100 magic crystals to learn the second tier healing spell.

Catching sight of the flute in Xiao Liu's hands, she suddenly realized it was the bane of dwarf cavalry.

While the flute might not affect the dwarves intellect, it would certainly influence the wild boars beneath them.

by you, disdainful of such underhanded tactics, resolved to demonstrate what true cavalry was to the dwarves once she found them.

"Please disassemble these corpses," she commanded.

With her newfound subordinates, such tasks were far beneath her.

Besides, the dwarf corpses yielded no food, only magic crystals and spirit cores, which by you promptly deposited into Xiao Leu as storage.

Gray, remember tomorrow's mission.

Spirits and gargoyles, hasten to uncover the dwarf stronghold.

Necromancer, the safety of the portal and the castle is entrusted to you.

By you reminded her undead and dwarf companions of their respective tasks.

Despite the dwarf's substantial mining efforts today, the invasion by the Moai and the Firebeard clan had thwarted their production goals.

The excited dwarves were burning the midnight oil to catch up on their work.

Bayou strolled leisurely towards the portal, intending to prepare for sleep.

Xiao Yianua hurried to keep pace.

After today as events, her sense of security while sleeping in the castle within the Bayen Mountains had completely evaporated.

Once again, she felt the familiar wave of nausea.

How many times had it been now? She still hadn't te acclimated, fearing the day she might truly succumb to it.

Bayou pressed her hand to her forehead in exasperation.

Indeed, the crimson moon above suits me far better.

Exiting the area, Bayou headed directly towards her castle.

While Xiao Yianua made her way to her subordinate castle.

Boss, I'm going to the castle to cook.

Xiao Lianua announced.

Bayou nodded.

It had been an arduous day for Xiao Yianua, who had managed to hold back her na despite her meager intake.

Upon returning to her castle, Bayou first summoned her troops.

The barracks glowed with a verdant light, and fourth came 40 figures, a fixed 10 paladins, eight necromancers, seven obliterators, and six ghouls.

The composition remained unchanged and without any golden legends.

Bayou had grown weary of the days devoid of such illustrious beings.

Forget it.

I shall strive tomorrow.

Today has already been squandered.

Bayou was just about to return to slumber when a sudden thought struck her, nearly causing her to overlook her important task.

She promptly summoned the spectre at the door, instructing it to convey the message that by dawn tomorrow, she expected to see 2,000 spectral knights assembled here.

Moreover, as the author, how is it that October has not secured the top spot despite controlling the publishing schedule? Pray, reveal who it is.

Chapter 119.

The Old Hag Bayou awoke promptly, rising from her slumber and descending from her bed.

Upon gazing at the two lively little rabbits, she commenced dressing.

The weather in her castle had turned somewhat cool, as the sun had not graced them with its presence for days, leaving an overcast gloom.

However, in Xiao Liu's domain, it was undeniably warm.

Considering the recent developments in the center which were to take place in Hapne state, Bayou opted for a lighter attire, one that would also facilitate her combat readiness.

It would be quite absurd to engage in battle with flowing hair and a dany dress.

Thus, a more casual ensemble paired with a high ponytail sufficed.

Bayou then proceeded to the castle courtyard where she routinely collected basic supplies.

At that moment, 2,000 undead knights had assembled outside the courtyard within the town, primarily composed of death knights, led by five retribution knights.

Their strength was commendable, or at least that was by assessment.

She fervently hoped that the wraiths and gargoyles would locate the dwarves stronghold today.

It was imperative to deal with them decisively.

The previous day, over 10,000 ordinary pieces of equipment had finally been traded, and Bayou transferred half of the magic crystals into Xiao Yianu's warehouse.

At this hour, Xiaoi was likely still asleep, and Bayou saw no reason to rouse her.

Whether she was present or not made little difference, Bayou possessed the same permissions within the castle, so she decided to let her rest a while longer.

Enter the portal.

Bayou called out to the undead knights outside, who then turned and began to march orderly towards the portal, entering it in succession.

Indeed, Bayou intended to deploy the undead knights against the dwarves of the Firebeard clan.
