971: Chapter 590: Skeleton Cannon_2 971: Chapter 590: Skeleton Cannon_2 Gaven hadn’t yet given his orders when Grace volunteered, “If Lord trusts , I am willing to make a trip to West Gate on Lord’s behalf to gather the required supplies.”
“If I can’t even provide that level of trust, the Black Wing Guild can’t operate.
I’ll allocate two million for you.
You have two tasks for this purchase.
One is the resurrection diamond, and the other is the thread of the Phase Spider.
As for the price, as long as it doesn’t exceed fifty percent of the market price, it’s acceptable.” As Gaven’s own power and control over wealth increased, his tolerance for risk grew, and his audacity rose with it.
In the past, not to ntion two million, he wouldn’t have been comfortable even with two hundred thousand without personally overseeing it.
Now, he had handed it over to a newly converted subordinate.
Of course, this also ca from confidence in his control thods.
Grace, an expert in necromancy, knew very well the kind of power that Gaven held in his hands, and she was also clear about the safeguards he had implented on her.
Until a thod was found to dismantle these safeguards, she wouldn’t dare to make a reckless move.
As for the two million in funds, it was provided by the freshly ford Conqueror Caravan, openly flaunting their banner, and sent regally towards West Gate City.
The dark forces along the route, instead of daring to touch this money, made every effort to provide protection, ensuring that nothing went wrong with the money within their territories.
People tend to asure others by their own standards.
These leaders of the dark forces subconsciously believed that this was bait deliberately thrown by the Conqueror Army to lure them into action and create opportunities for further strikes by the army.
They were not foolish; they definitely would not follow in the footsteps of Arms, nor would they allow their cities to beco puppets in their hands.
This attitude wasn’t limited to this fund alone; during this period, everything carrying the flag of the Conqueror Army was treated similarly.
Gaven paid no heed to the counterfeit products, as this uncontrollable growth was an excellent opportunity to expand the influence of the Conqueror Guild.
Of course, this was limited to normal trade.
If soone committed acts of evil under the flag of the Conqueror Army, the army would take real action to teach them what Thunderous Strike ant, what total annihilation ant.
For a ti, the Conqueror Army’s influence was overwhelmingly fierce at Giant Dragon Coast, and to swiftly drive them away, those dark forces could only turn a blind eye to their actions.
“Lord, there is a batch of spoils of war that require your personal decision on their treatnt,” Daphne pointed towards the most central horror in the City Hall.
This object was about a ter in diater and six to seven ters long, resembling a giant thick barrel, which in itself wasn’t unusual.
However, the problem was that this thing, from inside out, was entirely composed of skeletal remains.
The bones were oriented outwards, with skulls facing inwards, and the barrel was densely packed with heads.
Despite this, the arrangent of these bones was mysteriously patterned, emitting an eerie sense of beauty.
“Skeleton Cannon?” Gaven recognized its origin at first glance.
It was initially conjured by the Corpse Spider Elves to intercept the Five-Willow Overstate Full Form, using the body of the Corpse Spider to launch Skeleton Bombs.
This device had not been destroyed with the collapse of the Corpse Spider, which piqued Gaven’s interest.
The Skeleton Bombs launched by this device, although they hadn’t caused substantial damage to the Five-Willow Overstate Full Form, didn’t an their lethality was minor.
When they landed among the Koutao Fishn, they were a bona fide harvester of death.
Critically, this device possessed attributes.
Skeleton Bomb (Special Ability) — This device can be loaded with a Skeleton Bomb per round, ready to fire upon command.
The effective range of the Skeleton Bomb is three hundred ters, and it will automatically explode upon impact with a hard object.
Direct hits will inflict 10D12 of impact damage, and the explosion will cover a ten-ter radius, subjecting the area to 5D10 splash damage and subsequently causing 5D10 corrosive damage to all creatures within the area.
This device is a typical triple-attack weapon, with lethality potentially rivaling an Eighth-Ring Flastorm.
Previously, when it attacked the Five-Willow Super State, its primary use was the first impact.
The subsequent splash and corrosive damage didn’t have a chance to demonstrate their lethal potential.
Even the harshest direct strike was deflected or slowed by Gaven using the Shadow Dragon Shield.
The most brutal aspect was that this device belonged to the Special Ability category, which ant like the Death Roar, it didn’t require loading and would automatically condense and reload.
It wasn’t until Gaven saw the final remark that his pupils involuntarily shrank.
This device required utilization of Weizemay Manor’s bearing points, and quite a few at that—fifty points, with the Shadow Giant Dragon only using a hundred.
They were all real bearing points; snoel’s enhancent effect was limited only to within the tower and unusable once outside.
“How many of these devices are there in total?” Gaven asked.
He rembered the number of devices the Corpse Spider Elves had initially created was not small, at least several dozen.
“There are eighteen intact ones left, and the rest are damaged to various degrees.
I am attempting to repair them.”
“Is it true that it can activate the Special Ability only when infused with the power of the Ghost, or is it just a bunch of skeleton bones otherwise?” Anything operational required energy, and these bones were no exception.
Previously, the energy was provided by the Corpse Spider Elves, and this ti it was likely the Shadow Power from Weizemay Manor.
