Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Before the reporting soldier could finish speaking…

Upon hearing the word “report”, the Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s bone arm shook violently as he retreated several steps.

His soul fire suddenly turned cold as he gave the reporting soldier a chilling gaze.

After carefully confirming several times that this wasn’t an archer, he still couldn’t eliminate his wariness.

Only after the soldier finished reporting did he let out a long sigh of relief.

“Reporting to the Grand Commander, the Green Fiend Commander requests an audience outside the fortress!”

“Green Fiend? What is he here for? Could it be that he also received the news?”

A hint of delight flashed across the Purple Fiend Commander’s cheekbones. If the Green Fiend had also come, it meant the situation was indeed very serious.

In that case, he would have an excuse to borrow troops from the Blood Fiend Grand Commander.

As for the Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s deduction skills, who the hell would believe that?

Who would ignore the low-hanging fruit and instead choose the tough one to crack?

“Let him in.” The Blood Fiend Grand Commander was a bit helpless.

Why were they all running to him one by one?

Although they were all commanders under his jurisdiction, there was no need for them to swarm over, right?

Even he himself couldn’t beat that Blood Skeleton!

Ten minutes later, the Green Fiend Commander, dressed in a green battle robe, rushed in with a few personal guards in a fluster.

“Grand Commander, terrible news! My subordinate reported that the Black Fiend Fortress was wiped out by someone. Allegedly, it was a Blood Skeleton who single-handedly annihilated the entire Black Fiend Fortress…”

“Oh? Purple Fiend, you’re also here? It seems this matter is indeed quite serious!”

The Purple Fiend Commander nodded deeply in agreement. “Indeed, it’s a pity that the Grand Commander said…”

The Purple Fiend glanced at the Blood Fiend Grand Commander. “That Blood Skeleton won’t attack our fortresses but will come to attack the Grand Commander instead.”

“This… seems quite unlikely. I don’t think any skeleton would be foolish enough to…”

“What’s impossible about it?!”

The Blood Fiend Grand Commander ruthlessly interrupted their conversation.

“I won’t hide it from you two. I’ve met that Blood Skeleton before. This skeleton is arrogant, unruly, and disdainful of attacking fortresses of the same level.”

“Based on my deduction, there’s a ninety percent chance that the Blood Skeleton will attack my Blood Fiend Fortress. You can put your minds completely at ease and go back to sleep!”

“The Grand Commander has met the Blood Skeleton? Ninety percent chance of attacking the Blood Fiend Fortress?”

Although the two still didn’t believe it, hearing these words, they knew the Grand Commander was giving them the order to leave. They could only dejectedly take their leave.

“Since the Grand Commander has said so, the Blood Skeleton will surely attack the Blood Fiend Fortress. Does the Grand Commander need us to dispatch troops to reinforce?”

The Purple Fiend Commander made a false offer.

“No need. My Blood Fiend Fortress isn’t so weak as to lose to a single Blood Skeleton. I will personally slay such a skeleton! You may withdraw!”

The Blood Fiend Grand Commander waved his hand, directly refusing the two’s offer to reinforce.

What a joke. If he didn’t let them go back to draw the aggro, where would he find the time to borrow troops from other Grand Commanders?

Only if they returned to their fortresses would the Blood Skeleton have targets, and only then would he be safe.

“Since the Grand Commander is so confident, then Purple Fiend and Green Fiend will wish the Grand Commander success in slaying this skeleton. We shall take our leave.”

The two commanders were slightly relieved as they dejectedly withdrew. They could only leave the fortress with a half-doubting, half-anxious state of mind.

However, just ten minutes later, an archer suddenly rushed in. Upon seeing the Blood Fiend Grand Commander, he immediately knelt down.

“Grand Commander, terrible news! There are skeletons attacking the fortress from outside!”

The Blood Fiend Grand Commander had just been about to have his men prepare a horse to go request reinforcements.

Upon hearing this news, his entire body shuddered, his bones turning deathly pale.

“What the f*ck!”

His vision went black. The Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s mentality collapsed as he hurriedly shouted at the archer,

“Quick! Quickly go invite the Purple Fiend and Green Fiend back!”

…

“Wuwuwu…”

The Green Fiend and Purple Fiend had just gotten on their horses and traveled fifty meters away when the sound of a horn signaling an attack suddenly came from the Blood Fiend Fortress behind them.

The Green Fiend and Purple Fiend glanced at the distant blood-red figure and the few people beside it, then looked at each other.

They couldn’t help but give the Blood Fiend Grand Commander a thumbs up.

“The Grand Commander is indeed prescient as a god!”

“Just now, I still had some doubts about whether the Grand Commander was trying to trick us into going back to draw aggro. Now it seems we misunderstood the Grand Commander!”

The Purple Fiend Commander rubbed his forehead, showing a hint of shame. In his heart, he felt endlessly guilty for his previous suspicions.

“Indeed, the Grand Commander truly loves his commanders like sons! A role model for us all. In order to reduce our troop losses, he personally went to battle the Blood Skeleton. It really makes me ashamed!”

“Agreed. I, Purple Fiend, apologize here for my previous rashness and wish the Grand Commander a victorious battle!”

The Purple Fiend bowed towards the Blood Fiend Fortress. Then, he and the Green Fiend laughed loudly at each other and galloped away with their heads held high.

“The Grand Commander did not deceive me!”
