"Always ready!" Tong Dun clenched his fist, flexed his arm and showed off his muscles.
"With the current strength of your soul seed, the released soul force can completely control three ghouls. Four is also possible but there's a risk of rebellion at any time." Holma reminded, "I suggest prioritizing stability."
"It's still four, even if they betray us, they're just small fish, not a big threat." Tang Don calculated the benefits of bringing four Ghoul servants and decided to accept Holma's proposal.
"Whatever!" Holma merely reported the hidden danger. As for the right to choose, it was in Tanton's hands, and with a "time bomb", he could be even more cautious.
"Three wear heavy armor, used as meat shields, one wears leather armor, ensuring sufficient mobility, responsible for filling in and emergency rescue!" Tang pondered how to maximize the value of his magic servant.
"If you were a supervisor, you must be the most ruthless one. It's unfortunate for the ghouls to have an owner like you." Holma teased and urged, "Come on, tell us the story!"
There is a hint of artistic flair in the bones, completely like a poet, so he is very fond of and obsessed with "Romeo and Juliet".
"Don't be in a hurry, there's still a problem." Tandon's reply made Serese pout, "The equipment at the weapon shop is not good enough yet, and the road to the armory has not been opened up yet?"
The quality of the demonic servants themselves has been fixed, and in order to increase their combat effectiveness, Tang Don can only think of ways elsewhere. These guys without wisdom can't use magical accessories, so what's left is to replace them with better armor and claws, making them more durable.
The equipment in the weapon shop is too little, there's nothing to choose from, and it's not well-maintained. Although it's a high-quality item, if you really calculate it, it doesn't even reach this level.
Each city has an armory, in addition to the daily training losses of soldiers, it also needs to be reserved for sudden outbreaks of war, so generally a large number of armor and weapons are sealed.
With Seraphina as their guide, finding the armory in Tonton was as easy as squashing an ant, it was just the ghouls on the streets that were a nuisance.
Tang Dun wants to kill them ahead of time, otherwise entering the armory and encountering a battle, if he brings over the nearby undead monsters, then he will definitely be wrapped in dumplings.
"It's all cleared up." Homma reported, "By the way, the road to the bank has also been largely opened."
"Get your gear and let's go to the bank." Tandon served lunch, "Eat quickly, we'll move out as soon as you're done."
"What about Juliet?"
Although the caviar and foie gras were delicious, Serres was so full she almost swallowed her tongue. But as Romeo scaled Capulet's orchard and fell in love with Juliet at first sight, the death fairy couldn't wait to find out if this couple would end up together?
"After I've finished robbing the bank, I'll tell you a story for three days and three nights. By the way, I'll also tell you another one, 'The Count of Monte Cristo', it's guaranteed to be super interesting."
Dangton quickly swept away the dishes, making a promise that he actually had no choice but to make, as time was too tight.
Through Cersei's inquiry, Daenerys learned the intelligence of the Robinson trio, who are attacking the Wizard Tower. After killing three tower-keeping constructs, they have taken down the lowest three floors and are now preparing to advance towards the top of the tower.
The towering, cloud-piercing mage tower is extremely luxurious. Just looking at its exterior proves that its owner is extraordinary, and as for its own value, it's worth at least a fifth of the city's wealth.
If it weren't for the Robinson trio being held back by the prospect of taking down the mage tower, Danton would have likely been discovered even if he had chosen to distance himself from that district and slaughter the ghouls.
Once the Robinson trio's offensive is frustrated, they will definitely turn to other valuable buildings for a try, and Downton will inevitably fall into crisis, so there is not much time left for him.
"I must accumulate enough wealth before they do, not only to protect myself but also to turn the tables and defeat them, taking down this underground city." Tong Dun put down his dinner knife, his tone firm as he psyched himself up. If you don't want to live like a lowly ant, you must seize this opportunity and fight hard!
"I'll help you!" Seres was infected by Tanton's attitude, looking at him standing upright, pursing his lips and sitting there properly, feeling that he was simply full of charm.
"Attitude is not bad." Holma agreed, "However, after all this is over, you have to make up for at least two stories, and the quality cannot be lower than Hamlet."
"You might as well kill me." Tang Don wailed, if it weren't for reading some classic masterpieces in his dreams and remembering a lot of them, he really had no way to deal with Mo Dian, this guy's requirements were too high.
The armory was south of town, about a twenty-minute walk from the bakery where Tandon had taken refuge, and though the streets had been cleared of roaming ghouls, he remained cautious.
Seris held the magic book in front of her chest and floated fifty meters ahead, acting as a scout.
Tang Dun held a lantern in his left hand and the demonic sword in his right, hugging the wall as he moved stealthily like a wild cat.
The surrounding quiet is terrifying.
In the dimly lit underground city streets, Tandon's shadow was cast by the oil lamp onto the ground, swaying black and mysterious, like a ghost.
Tang Dun memorized the route, vigilant about his surroundings, and the stench floating in the air, he was already used to it.
Seris stopped suddenly at a fork in the road, observed for a few seconds, then took out a night stone and drew a large circle.
Ghouls are very sensitive to sound, so Tonton and the Death Witch had agreed on a few secret signals beforehand, this one indicating that an enemy had been spotted.
Without hesitation, Tandon rushed over and saw the wandering ghoul, hastily handing his weapon and oil lamp to Seres.
Whispering the incantation of the spirits' confession, Tang Dun raised his left hand, and a golden longbow appeared. His right hand drew the bowstring into a full circle, and immediately a light spot condensed into a long arrow.
Whoosh! The arrow shot out and hit the Ghoul's head right on target.
Danton hastily picked up his military sword, ready to deal with the vengeful spirits of those who had failed at repentance.
The imagined fierce attack did not come, after being shot by an arrow, the ghoul was stunned in place.
"Doesn't it seem like a higher success rate?" Tandon gave the order and had the ghoul summoned, "From now on, you're Number Five."
Taking out a spare set of armor, Tandon finished equipping No. 5 and turned it into an iron can.
"Your soul power has increased, dealing with these small fries will naturally have a bit of suppression." Common sense of Holmako.
"Then can I confess to a low-ranking ghoul? The strength doesn't need to be too strong, equivalent to a first-rank soul is fine." Tang Don felt that the oil lamp was too bright, so he made the flame inside smaller.
"The failure rate is too high, and the risk of rebellion is too great." Holma advised Danton not to play with fire in the crisis-ridden underground city, where such hidden dangers could cost him his life.
Downton abandoned and let the nearly worn-out No. 4 follow Serres, in order to deal with sudden crises and play its last remaining value.
Crossing several intersections, walking through more than a dozen quiet streets, the uneven civilian buildings suddenly disappeared from Tang's view, replaced by a large warehouse area, neatly arranged like soldiers waiting for inspection.
The arsenal has arrived!
Due to years of neglect, these buildings are all filled with a sense of decay, the walls have peeled off, and only those vines that spread everywhere still have a hint of vitality.
After some effort, Tang Don found the rusty iron gate and instead of pushing it open, he directly climbed over the wall beside it.
"A ghoul has been found!" Serese floated beside him, just about to point with her hand when Tong Dun pressed down on her head.
"I see it, be on the lookout for hidden dangers!" Tang Don took off his bulging backpack, which was stuffed with supplies, and pulled out a crossbow. As he loaded it, he observed their surroundings.
This is a rectangular camp, paved with bluestone floor. The two-story wooden building on the left should be the residence of the guarding soldiers. In front, it is a warehouse, about 50 meters away from the iron gate.
Twenty-six ghouls roam the camp, naturally transformed from the dead guards, some of whom still wear armor, apparently not having taken it off when they died.
"There are three lower-ranking ones, be careful. They're a bit of a nuisance." Holma released her magic detection and reported their ranks, judging that the three should all be around Soul Stage Two, but didn't say it out loud.
This value is just a prediction, and even with the experience and power of Mo Tian, it's impossible to accurately estimate. Moreover, even if they are at the same level, their strength will vary greatly, not to mention that there are some powerful beings in the demon world that can transcend levels and kill enemies.
Homa did not want Tondon to develop the habit of relying on it. The real battle should be, encountering the enemy and then using various means to probe and obtain as much information about the opponent as possible, based on which to judge the opponent's strength and decide whether to fight or retreat, as well as what tactics to use to win or escape safely.
Of course, it's easy to say, but it's more difficult to do. After all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and at this time, what is being tested is the overall quality of the mage.
"Got it." Tong Dun didn't show any intention of backing down and immediately thought about how to break through.
"Always keep an ace up your sleeve." Holma, being the perfect textbook, took the opportunity to teach, "In many aspects, there will always be some insidious and cunning existences, such as the Shadow God, the Spider Queen, and those devils in hell, who love to hide their strength and keep various aces up their sleeves. They won't reveal them until it's a matter of life and death."
Seris was tense, having killed low-ranking ghouls before, but never more than two at a time and they were always weak. This situation was a first for her.
"Seris, your task is to slow down those scavenger wights and buy me some time. If they all close in, try to scatter them." Tanton began assigning tasks, "Remember, you must stay afloat in the air, no matter what happens to me, do not approach to support!"
