However, this is not all of the Viscount’s inco. As a Viscount, he also runs a textile factory, owns two trade caravans, and the village under his jurisdiction plants a lot of cotton. The Viscount’s subordinate textile factory would purchase them uniformly, then process them into cotton fabrics.
Then, the two Gothic Trade Teams would buy so local products and cotton fabrics to sell in Wabelle Giant City, making a certain profit, so Viscount Hector’s wealth is still quite substantial.
Now, most of the Bang Cities on the continent are hereditary territories allocated to nobles, with the lowest being baron-level figures. Viscount Hector is considered to have a relatively high noble title.
This is because the Hector Clan is also considered a big family in the Nord Kingdom. The full na of Viscount Hector is Hector Ken, one of the disciples of the Hector Clan. Gothic Castle is a reward from his father’s generation. In fact, the Hector Clan holds two Giant Cities and thirty-seven Bang Cities in the Nord Kingdom.
So compared to Viscount Hector, Zong Shen really is from a humble background.
The act of establishing a territory from scratch is not without precedent, but the difficulty of developnt is much greater. It may even take a lifeti, and often after decades of hard work, it becos soone else’s dowry.
At this mont, Hoy quietly watched the battle ahead. So far, from the perspective of combat power, Zong Shen and his group were still quite formidable. With just a team of dozens, they dared to challenge the Burrow Monster Swarm numbering in the thousands.
In his view, even the kingdom’s Elite Knight Order might not engage in such a risky behavior.
Beside Hoy, the Fire Mage Pax was holding up the Magic Staff, chanting an ancient magic spell. This spell was very long and took a full ten seconds to complete the chant.
The ruby at the tip of his staff emitted a red light. Not far ahead, on the ground, twenty or thirty ters into the monster swarm, appeared a Magic Array ten ters in diater.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
The ground churned, revealing strips of bright red Blazing Runes, finally forming the Magic Array!
The entire area covered by the Magic Array instantly surged with flas over ten ters high!
The fla was an intensely fierce Cluster Fla, entirely golden-orange in color. Even from dozens of ters away, one could feel the rolling waves of heat surging forward. Judging by the color of the fla, the temperature within was at least 1200 degrees Celsius.
The Fla Storm was indeed worthy of its na, instantly igniting the enemies within its range. Constant burn damage appeared above their heads, and right within this area was a stealthy Burrow Hero!
Its position was originally the safest, located at the rear of the Burrow Monster Swarm. However, unexpectedly, Zong Shen suddenly appeared and caught it off guard.
Coincidentally, the position Pax used Fla Storm happened to be right in that area.
Within seconds, a figure engulfed in flas erged from it.
It was tall; previously, it had been hunkering down, hiding in the monster swarm to conceal itself.
Now, burned by the Fla Storm, it couldn’t bother hiding any longer. It stood up straight, scrambling to leave the range of the Fla Storm.
It stood over two ters tall, clad in armor made of Skeleton, with a Skeleton Horn Helt, wielding two ghastly pale Bone Swords, engulfed in flas, and burn damage continuously appeared above its head.
The level of the Burrow Hero was not high, and the Fla Storm could deal significant damage to it.
At this ti, Zong Shen and his team were attacking on the other side, quite a distance from where the Fla Storm was unleashed.
When Zong Shen noticed a hero forced out of the monster swarm, he quickly patted Pigsy’s head, changed direction, and activated Blood Fang Charge, charging towards the Burrow Hero.
As he looked over, the attributes of the Burrow Hero appeared in front of him.
[Skeleton War King (Hero)]
[Talent: Excellent]
[Level: lv4]
[Attributes: (Click to Expand)]
[Hunger Level: 100]
[Strength: 29]
[Agility: 12]
[Wisdom: 6]
[Charm: 4]
[Life Value: 735/950]
[Slashing Damage: 78~81]
[Skills: Corpse Explosion lv4 (Detonates a corpse of an enemy, dealing explosion damage equal to 20% of the corpse’s Life Limit to enemies within a five-ter radius, Cooling Ti: 10 minutes)
Aging Curse lv4 (Reduces the target’s Attack Speed and Movent Speed by 50%, lasts for 40 seconds, Cooling Ti: 1 hour)
Skeleton Armor lv4 (Can extract Skeletons from corpses to form Skeleton Armor and Skeleton Battle Sword, Cooling Ti: 10 minutes, only one set of Skeleton Armor can exist simultaneously)
Passive Skills: Skeleton Transformation lv4 (The Skeleton War King can automatically transform one Skeleton Warrior from one of the five enemies it kills, and the Skeleton Warrior’s strength is related to the pre-death strength of the killed enemy. Killing Undead Race or boneless creatures does not activate this effect)]
(The original Skeleton War King is a true Skeleton Lord, capable of leading thousands of Skeleton armies. Especially, the Skeleton Transformation hero passive allows it to gradually expand its forces during conquest. However, this weakened reproduction version is far from that.)
This is the fourth type of Burrow Hero, after the Wailing Lich, Burrow Lord, and Death Knight.
The skills are all related to Skeletons, especially the passive skill which is essential for a Skeleton army. The more it kills, the more minions it gets. And this Skeleton War King in front of them is a weakened reproduction version. If it were the original Skeleton War King, the skill effects would be much stronger, deserving the title of Skeleton Lord.
Zong Shen rode Pigsy towards the Skeleton War King. Before reaching it, the Skeleton War King extinguished the flas on itself, intending to turn back into hiding among the monster swarm.
At that mont, a massive Fla Claw suddenly ford behind it, grabbing the Skeleton War King just as it was about to escape into the monster swarm, forcibly pulling it out.
The flas burned fiercely, causing continuous damage. But that wasn’t all. The Master of Flas, holding the Skeleton War King, directly tossed it in the direction Zong Shen was coming from, delivering it right in front of him.
Then, this Fla Claw grabbed towards the monster swarm, causing 15 points of burn damage wherever it touched.
Zong Shen saw the Fla Claw toss the Skeleton War King in front of him, patted Pigsy’s head for an ergency stop, halting in front of the Skeleton War King.
He dismounted, lifted two Big Sabers, and slashed at the Skeleton War King.
"Crack!"
[-87]
[-81]
Zong Shen swung with both blades in quick succession at the Skeleton Armor, leaving two cracks in the bone armor. Underneath the armor, the body of the Skeleton War King was also skeletal.
The two slashes resulted in considerable damage values appearing.
Zong Shen hadn’t used any Buff Skills, but with a 78-point Strength Damage bonus and nurous Passive Skills bonuses, his ordinary attacks were extrely powerful. Especially against such low-level, weakened Burrow Heroes, it was like cutting through butter.
The Skeleton War King wielded Dual Swords in retaliation at Zong Shen. One sword clashed with a tallic clang against the Big Saber in Zong Shen’s left hand, while the other directly hit his shoulder.
[-25]
The Bone Sword scraped sparks off his shoulder, leaving a not-so-deep crack on the Armor of the Violent Bear, while causing Zong Shen’s shoulder to sting.
Zong Shen’s Upper Body Armor Value was as high as 55 points, making it hard for the Skeleton War King to inflict much damage.
However, this strike reduced the Durability of Zong Shen’s [Tiroka’s Bear Armor (Purple)] by more than ten points, causing him so distress!
Zong Shen stepped back two paces, creating so distance, holding the crossed Double Blades in front of him.
He turned his head to look at the crack on the shoulder of his armor, his heart aching invisibly!
