Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2142 - 980: Contacting the Homeland (Part 2)
Even Gaven couldn’t manage to instantly relay his orders to all the Slaughter Skeleton Soldiers.
Since it was impossible to take everything in one go, selective admission was the approach.
"Alright." The Skeleton Lord acted as a guide without any mental burden; having already surrendered, these skeleton soldiers rightfully belonged to the opponent.
Whether they lived or died was entirely up to the will of the opponent.
With the cooperation of their opponent’s highest leader, the remaining task became much simpler.
It took only a few hours for this war, with no fighting involved, to draw to a close.
Before Gaven deployed, he had approximately three thousand troops, and after the fierce battle, he still had three thousand.
The difference was in the quality, which had undergone a transformation.
Among them, eight hundred were the Skeleton Lord’s elites, with an average professional level reaching the sixth level, a significant leap.
What Gaven valued most was neither the Skeleton Cavalry nor the formidable skeleton Minotaurs, but rather the Blazing Skeletons that had previously given him quite a shock.
Gaven valued not their remote attack abilities but the intelligence they gained through the infusion of Power of Slaughter, which was above that of ordinary Slaughter Skeleton Soldiers, averaging over eight points.
Eight points is a watershed.
Below eight points, they’re called limited intelligence, basically similar to dim-witted fools, learning things very slowly.
Over eight points, they are considered wise creatures capable of understanding and carrying out slightly simple commands.
With these Blazing Skeletons, Gaven essentially had grassroots skeleton officers to build the command system of the Skeleton Army layer by layer.
At that time, there wouldn’t be a situation where the enemy leader had already surrendered, yet the war had to continue until all enemies were completely annihilated.
Unfortunately, even on the Plains of Bone (as confirmed by the Skeleton Lord), this particular type of skeleton remains relatively rare.
The origin of these three hundred from the Skeleton Lord is relatively special and temporarily unreplicable. Meanwhile, the Dog Demon was too powerful, having rampaged before, took out nearly two-thirds of the Blazing Skeletons.
A hundred or so Blazing Skeletons to build the command framework of three thousand Slaughter Skeleton Soldiers is somewhat difficult.
In such low-intelligence teams, the deeper the command level goes, the more complex the commands they can execute.
For the current situation, it’s adequate, judging from the Skeleton Lord’s conditions, there shouldn’t be particularly powerful Demon Lords nearby, mostly of similar strength to him.
If too weak, they would have been annexed long ago.
If too strong, they would have devoured him long ago as well.
Even three thousand uncommanded Slaughter Skeleton Soldiers could easily capture them, not to mention the upgraded troops and the basic command system now in place. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Which layer of the Bottomless Abyss does this belong to? Under which Demon Lord’s command?" The first matter post-battle was to summon the Skeleton Lord for intelligence inquiries.
This is why Gaven, who had the means to control undead with Power of Slaughter, still chose to compel the Skeleton Lord to hand over the True Name of Demons.
The opponent was the first Sage Undead he encountered here.
His most urgent need now was obtaining accurate intelligence of this area.
Mastering the opponent’s True Name of Demons to make their lies have nowhere to hide was the most convenient way.
"This is the 421st layer, known as the Plains of Bone. The previous Demon Lord here, the King of Skeleton, has perished in the war against King of the Jackalweres, and has yet to give rise to its own Demon Lord." The Skeleton Lord replied honestly.
"Jackalweres King Yenogu? 421st layer?" Gaven tried hard to merge this intelligence with what he already knew.
But regrettably, the useful information obtained was quite limited; he only knew that the God Kingdom of King of the Jackalweres indeed existed within the Bottomless Abyss, but which specific layer was unknown.
Because the Bottomless Abyss was notorious for chaos.
Its layer and position are not completely fixed.
Below the 421st layer may not necessarily be the 422nd layer; it could also be the 242nd layer.
Some layers may vanish for various reasons, while new ones emerge.
No one can say for sure how many layers there are here.
Very few scholars study the Bottomless Abyss specifically, for the outcome of in-depth research is only one thing: to immerse themselves in chaos and madness.
Because during the research process, it’s easy to get corrupted by the evil and lunacy of the Bottomless Abyss, resulting in the studied information becoming unreliable, as no one knows whether demon conspiracy and schemes are mixed in.
Although demons are not as renowned for deception and schemes as devils, it doesn’t mean they don’t play at all. Underestimating them will lead to trouble.
Further inquiries to the Skeleton Lord provided scarcely any broader information.
Because the King of Skeleton was killed several centuries ago, a time before the birth of the Skeleton Lord.
In this undead-dominated world, information is nearly sealed off, the Skeleton Lord neither cares nor has sources.
This couldn’t stump Gaven; he immediately took out a Spirit Crystal Stone, recorded a memory image, and placed it in the sub-pocket of the Portable Dimensional Hole.
With more convenient and stronger communication methods, Gaven naturally wouldn’t use pen and paper to convey messages.
His prior non-contact with the territory wasn’t due to arrogance, nor being ashamed, but lacking an anchoring point. Now, having received accurate intelligence, he can proceed with targeted actions.
It will be easier for Katherine and others to collect intelligence from the Material Plane.
