A legion consisting of 6000 undead trekked after Rudra who was atop his mount Blackie.

This was the result of raiding a dozen bone castles that were spread apart on these lands. The constant hunt for new prey had caused the army numbers to swell to its current size.

Deadra followed behind Rudra, an exquisite bone armor protecting his bony frame.

A group of undead that looked distinct from the rest of the legion was circling the tiger acting as bodyguard.

The circle was formed by the Dead-series of skeletons who had formed their soul crystals and were more aware than the most fodder skeletons following behind them.

These were all the undead that had broken through to the 7th rank of bone-strengthening and were able to form their soul crystals.

Deadone was carrying a big crocodile skull shield walking in front of the whole legion.

Deadtwo was raising his scepter commanding the legion behind him to keep up,

As Rudra had swelled the number of undead in his command, the number of liches had also increased after every castle raid he would gain a scepter that he would use to delegate a lich and prioritized their soul crystal formation.

Rudra had left all the command of mobs to the newly promoted liches who were supervised by the first lich of the legion, Deadtwo.

These liches used their scepters to command the army of 6000 undead to follow every command conveyed by Rudra.

After many raids of the numerous bone castles, Rudra had realized that not all the bone castles were similar, looking at Deadthree who was carrying a massive greatsword hanging on its back.

Rudra was getting eager to find even more bone castles, but they were getting more infrequent as he went about in his course.

Rudra was currently in the process of forming bone armor and weaponry for his legion.

They had just raided a horde of goat-like undead who were roughly 1000 in number. This had allowed him to considerably increase the number of bones on him to create new armors and weapons in the legion.

"Another one's, done," Rudra said as he threw a bone armor at Deadtwo who then gave the armor to a lucky soul in the 6000 skeletons. But Rudra didn't pay any attention as he quickly started working on another weapon.

Almost all of the legion was already in the 8th rank of the bone-strengthening, the twenty members of the dead-series were in the 7th rank of the bone-strengthening, Blackie had also broken through to the 5th stage becoming the same as Rudra who was also in 5th rank.

Deadra was in the peak of 7th rank and was just a tinge away from breakthrough to the 6th stage of the bone-strengthening.

Looking at the various types of skeletons, Rudra felt what he missed the most in his army were the assassin units as there were only two of them in the whole legion and the archer skeletons as there were none.

Rudra's legion was slowly being equipped with armor and weapons. Rudra hummed a tune in his head as he slowly changed the shape of the bones in his hand and next attempted to create a small dagger.

There were now twenty-two or something members in the horde of 6000 who have formed their soul crystals this had caused Rudra to grimace at the fact the number of souls he would need to form a soul crystal in all the 6000 undead under his command.

Thinking about this, he planned to absorb another pond of black water that he would come across in this desolate and empty land.

Suddenly Deadone in front of him stopped causing the whole legion to come to a halt, Rudra surprised by the abrupt change looked up to see an army of skeletons heading towards them.

Rudra raised his scepter to command his whole legion to enter into formation while he rode Blackie to the front as the rows of undead behind him followed after their respective liches to enter onto 'combat mode'.
