Chapter 19: Reported the Danger

“It’s working!” Thomas was overjoyed when he saw the strange bones being cut down by his sword.

He immediately waved the Holy Light Longsword and continued to cut at the strange bones.

Crack, crack, crack!

One by one, the bones were cut into magic cores by Thomas.

The skeletons behind continued to charge at the defense line formed by Thomas and the others as if they did not know fatigue.

Thomas stood behind the shield wall and harvested.

Soon, more than ten skeletons were turned into magic nuclei by Thomas.

“Arya, are there any more of these annoying guys around?” Thomas asked Arya, who was in charge of keeping watch.

“Sir Thomas, all of them have been taken care of. There are no enemies around,” Arya said.

“Let’s pack up the magic cores and continue moving forward.”

O’Neill and the others immediately helped Thomas to collect the magic cores.

Out of the 14 bones, a total of nine magic cores had been dropped. The probability was already over 60%. Moreover, after finding a suitable terrain, it would be easier to kill than the Rat-Men.

Thomas could not wait to have as many skeletons as possible.

Perhaps soon, he would be able to expand his small camp into a castle.

However, the first thing he had to do was to report this matter. Otherwise, there was a high possibility that some of the Architects in the wild would be ambushed by these skeletons.

Right now, the Architects were very valuable. Every single one of them was a seed for the future human counterattack.

Thomas took out a goatskin parchment and quickly wrote on it.

“Latest intelligence. A new type of dark creature has been discovered. Normally, it looks similar to a human corpse, but its skin is dry and completely stuck to the bones. There are no signs of decay on its body. It looks like a dried corpse.”

“These dark creatures will ambush humans. Normally, it looks similar to a corpse, but when a human passes by, it will launch a surprise attack.”

“The ones I met were hanging from trees. I thought they were human corpses, so I was prepared to help bury them. I almost got hit.”

“These dark creatures don’t move very quickly, but their skin is very hard. Their weakness is their heads. Cutting their necks is also possible.”

“For a level 1 soldier, it will take three to four strikes to kill them.”

“It would be easier to trap them between terrain.”

“When they die, they will be similar to ordinary dark creatures. They will turn into ashes and explode their magic core.”

“Preliminary estimation of their strength is level 1, not even level 2.”

Thomas sent out all the information he knew.

Soon, some active Architects replied.

Sophia: “What? There’s actually such a dark creature?”

Andy: “Really? There’s actually such a clever dark creature? It even knows how to ambush? It can’t be that you made it up to lie to us, right?”

Andy obviously didn’t believe it. After all, Thomas’ words were a little sensational.

A dark creature that looked like a human corpse could even ambush. If it really existed, then it would be too much of a threat to humans.

“It’s true,” Roger said, “My experience is similar to Thomas’s. I also saw two dried corpses on a tree. I originally planned to cut them down and bury them. In the end, Thomas happened to send me a message, so I subconsciously tested it out. In the end, the two corpses really came after me. Moreover, their skin is indeed very tough, but their movement speed is a little slow. I brought them around for a long time and finally managed to kill both of them. If you meet them, be careful. Don’t be ambushed by these guys.”

Roger was one of the more powerful people in their group. Since Roger said that it was more difficult, it meant that this dark creature was real, and it was really not easy to deal with.

Benjamin: “So it is real, I originally planned to find a few to try, but now it seems that I should go around them.”

Jefferson: “Yes, these dark creatures are really too sinister. Thank you, Thomas, for reminding me.”

Sophia rolled her eyes. She noticed something different. “Thomas, you said that a level 1 soldier would need three or four hits to kill that dark creature? Could it be that you’ve already started building barracks and training soldiers? Didn’t you just build a camp?”

According to the construction process of the main city’s professor, three to four Arrow Towers would be built first. After the outline of the camp was built, there would be walls and bonfires.

After that, there would be other auxiliary buildings, such as wells, fruit trees, Magic Towers, and so on.

Finally, there would be the Close Combat Barracks and Long-Range Barracks that trained the soldiers.

This was because these trained soldiers also needed to consume food. Without enough food, it was impossible to feed so many soldiers.

“It’s like this. I did train some soldiers. The dark creatures I encountered were quite special. I couldn’t follow the normal process, so I trained the close combat soldiers first.”

Thomas didn’t want to reveal the secret that he had the system, so he spoke casually.

Since no one else could come to verify it, he could say whatever he wanted.

Sophia and the others didn’t look too surprised when they heard that.

After all, the wilderness was too big, and it was the place where the dark creatures occupied, so anything could happen. It wasn’t difficult to understand how to break the construction process and develop according to the current needs.

Those who did not know how to adapt became food for the dark creatures.

“Thomas, this news of yours is too important. It can save many Architects. I will report it to my father right now. I believe that the main city council will give you a satisfactory reward.”

The council that Sophia mentioned was an organization composed of many nobles. It was the highest authority in the main city.

All kinds of matters, big and small, were decided by the main city’s parliament.

Such matters like the discovery of new dark creatures naturally had to be reported to the parliament.

As the daughter of Prince Philip, it was most appropriate for Sophia to do this.

He believed that the parliament would not be stingy with their rewards.

As for whether Sophia would be greedy for the rewards that belonged to him, Thomas was not worried.

Sophia had a good reputation, and she was famous for her kindness when she was in the city.

She often helped the poor in the city, and she even sponsored a school to take in homeless orphans.

Such a woman would not be greedy for his reward.

“Of course I trust Princess Sophia, but this matter must be spread as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knows how many Architects will be trapped?” Thomas reminded.

“Don’t worry, I will use a special channel to send the news out first,” Sophia said.

“Then, I am relieved.”

After Thomas said that, he rolled up the parchment.

He still had to continue cleaning the village.

If he did not clean up the dark creatures in the village, he would not even be able to sleep peacefully.

Thomas led the group and continued to move forward.

After returning to the town square, Thomas’ gaze was attracted by the two two-story tall buildings.

The Goddess of Life temple and the town office building.

If there were any dark creatures in the town, they would not let this place go.
