Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution - Chapter 400

“Ningzhi, what do you mean? Cursing your lord is punishable by death!”

The First Duchess couldn’t stand it anymore.

Since arriving, this Third Wife had shown no respect, and now she dared to openly curse the Bone Duke?

This was absolutely lawless!

The good mood was completely ruined by Ningzhi. The Bone Duke and both duchesses glared at her with hostile eyes.

“Hmph, when you captured me, I never expected to leave alive anyway.” Ningzhi seemed unmoved by their glares, her eyes filled with determination.

How could they expect a human woman to willingly serve a skeleton?

Such a thing was simply impossible!

“Guards, take her away!”

No matter how much he liked Ningzhi, Bone Duke Pingnan could no longer show favoritism.

She truly didn’t know her place.

“I curse you to die a horrible death!”

Even as she was being dragged away, Ningzhi continued cursing Bone Duke Pingnan.

Though she knew her fate would surely be miserable.

“My lord, don’t be angry. Ningzhi’s resentment runs deep, but I believe she’ll understand soon enough.”

Seeing Bone Duke Pingnan trembling with rage, the Second Duchess consoled him gently.

“No matter. We have pressing business. Duchesses, help me don my armor. Your husband must prepare for battle.”

Bone Duke Pingnan waved his hand dismissively.

“Of course.” Both duchesses brightened immediately, proud of their husband.

Bone Duke Pingnan was a veteran of countless battles, one of the Skeleton Kingdom’s strongest generals.

His ability to command troops was particularly exceptional.

His army was the strongest in the entire Skeleton Kingdom in terms of sieges, breakthroughs, and defense.

With Bone Duke Pingnan present, all soldiers’ morale would soar unprecedentedly, raising their overall strength significantly.

How could such a being possibly die in a mere city siege?

Ningzhi was simply a naive girl who didn’t understand such matters.

“My lord, your Golden Formation Armor and Ghost Head Tyrant Spear are here.”

The two Bone Duchesses, with the soldiers’ help, brought up the battle armor and spear.

“Excellent!” Under his two wives’ attendance, Bone Duke Pingnan donned the Golden Formation Armor, instantly transforming his bearing.

“Have Ghost Fiend and Jiang Beiming returned?”

“My lord, Jiang Beiming has returned, but Lord Ghost Fiend has not.”

The guard reported.

“Hmm?” Pingnan instinctively sensed something amiss.

But with battle imminent and great merit ahead, he couldn’t dwell on it.

As a Lord, Ghost Fiend was quite powerful. Bone Duke Pingnan didn’t believe someone of Jiang Beiming’s strength could kill Ghost Fiend.

“Summon him. We march!”

“Yes, sir!”

The guard hurried to Jiang Cheng’s room to fetch him.

Jiang Cheng followed the guard to the great hall, seeing the fully armed Bone Duke and his thirty-two Grand Commanders. He smiled inwardly.

“Brother Beiming, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you.”

“My pleasure. I calculated that Lord Bone Duke would be sleepless tonight, so I woke early to wait.”

“Oh? Brother Beiming has such abilities?” Bone Duke Pingnan’s eyes lit up.

Only his two wives knew he’d been up all night.

Could this Jiang Beiming have been eavesdropping last night?

Shaking his head, Bone Duke Pingnan dismissed this absurd thought and gave Jiang Cheng a meaningful look.

Eavesdropping was impossible. This Jiang Beiming must simply be meticulous in his calculations.

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly. “Is Lord Bone Duke departing now?”

“The journey is long, naturally we must prepare early. Brother Beiming, can you tell us where we should ambush?”

“I’ve already calculated the exact location. North of Luoyun City lies Ginkgo Village with a hidden valley called Dragon Trap Mountain. The terrain there is perfect for an ambush.”

Jiang Cheng continued, “Luoyun City is in ruins. Cutie Shakes the World only needs to occupy the city for two hours and defeat the Snow Empire’s reinforcements.”

“With Cutie Shakes the World’s limited forces, defeating the Snow Empire will surely be extremely difficult.”

“Among the routes the Snow Empire’s troops must take, I believe Dragon Trap Mountain is the best ambush point. Cutie Shakes the World definitely won’t miss this opportunity.”

“When they’re locked in battle, that’s our chance to reap the benefits!”

“Excellent! Brother Beiming truly shows great wisdom. We’ll follow your plan. All troops prepare, we march immediately for Dragon Trap Mountain!”

“Men, today is our day to achieve great merit and advance in rank!”

“Great merit! Great merit!”

At Bone Duke Pingnan’s command, his subordinates cheered, their cheekbones beaming with excitement and enthusiasm.

*Boom boom boom boom boom*

Pingnan Castle’s iron gates opened with thunderous echoes.

The army moved out in formation: ten thousand cavalry in the vanguard, twenty thousand infantry and ten thousand archers in the center, and ten thousand logistics troops in the rear.

Fifty thousand troops in total, fully armed and bearing sharp weapons, marched magnificently toward Dragon Trap Mountain.

…

Dragon Trap Mountain.

At this moment, at the mountain’s foot gathered all members of Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers and Cutie Shakes the World.

Though Cutie Shakes the World’s members weren’t all in one place, once the siege battle began, all members could teleport to Luoyun City.

A Silly Cutie was now at the mountain’s peak, communicating with all members while accepting their worship.

“Guild Leader! Guild Leader!”

“Guild Leader, you’re amazing, absolutely my idol! How did you deal two hundred and forty million damage in front of the Knife-wielding Snake King?”

“Guild Leader, did you really kill the Nine Nether Three-Headed Hellwolf? Too incredible, I still can’t believe it.”

“Of course she did! Our Guild Leader is incredible. She single-handedly wiped out the Temple’s first-tier team, the Violent Magic Squad. I heard everyone who saw it was stunned speechless, haha.”

“Guild Leader, I don’t remember you being around before. Can you tell us how you rose to power so quickly?”

Cutie Shakes the World’s members chattered enthusiastically.

But all topics centered around A Silly Cutie, all eyes focused on her, wanting to know how she went from unknown to so powerful.

This made Array Emperor beside her quite awkward.

As one of the Twelve Gods, it was his first time being so thoroughly ignored.

Though many members still greeted him, his popularity couldn’t compare to A Silly Cutie’s.

Path to Hell, Immortal Phoenix, and Fist Sage didn’t mind though.

After all, Jiang Cheng and A Silly Cutie had been the most prominent lately.

Of the four World Bosses, they had killed three. Especially the Nine Nether Three-Headed Hellwolf, which had caused worldwide catastrophe and seemed invincible.

When everyone had despaired, this supposedly almighty hellwolf was beaten like a dog by Jiang Cheng.

They’d heard he even made it his pet. How could that not cause a sensation?

“Actually… about that, I’m not really sure either.”

Faced with everyone’s questions, A Silly Cutie felt a bit lost.

After all, she had just summoned a skeleton…
