In the capital of Zambia, Lusaka, the scale of the skeleton legion, one of the three major military groups of the Bone Demon Clan, is absolutely unimaginable. Even as a level 6 legion, the skeleton legion's influence on the African continent can be described as boundless!
Lusaka is one of the defense zones for the skeleton legion and is currently where Little White is located.
"Gather! Gather!"
As the captain's voice rang out, Little White immediately armed himself and was the first to rush out of the barracks, standing properly in front of the captain.
His actions were standard, and his reactions were swift.
This was the captain's first evaluation of Little White.
When he saw the soldiers lagging behind Little White, the captain silently added in his heart, a talent worth cultivating...
Although this little bone demon was of low strength and a refugee, from his performance over the past few days, it was clear he could be counted on. Once he got promoted, he would let this guy named Little White take charge.
Just as the captain was lost in thought, contemplating promoting Little White, the entire team had already lined up.
With a wave of his hand, the captain shouted "Set off," and the whole team immediately sprang into action, beginning their daily routine task—patrol.
This patrol differed from the patrol team's tasks; the skeleton legion was not responsible for external patrols. However, various key defensive areas within the camp, such as granaries, fuel depots, armories, and supply depots, still required some safety measures.
Standing behind the captain, Little White scanned his surroundings, assuming a vigilant posture while observing the military movements of the skeleton legion until the patrol team arrived at the location of the supply depot.
"Rest in place."
Every day followed the same route, the same procedure, and the same cheers—these cannon fodder in the skeleton legion, known as patrol members, cheered as they set down their weapons and collectively squeezed into the shade to start their daily chatting.
"What's wrong? Not going to take a break? This is about all the benefits we get."
Seeing Little White standing straight at attention, the captain walked over with a smile and joked.
Little White shook his head, revealing a smile that, to a bone demon, might be considered "innocent."
"I'm not tired yet."
"Master, the location of the armory is in the northeast of the urban area, two kilometers from the third barrack, and the granary is to the east of the city, three kilometers to the right of the eighth barrack."
The captain gently patted Little White's shoulder, glanced at the group of slackers in his team, and appreciatively said, "Good, keep it up. For this internal selection of outstanding candidates, I put your name down. The magic crystal reward should be enough for you to reach level 4."
Little White stared blankly at the captain and said, rather naively, "Thank you, captain."
"The fuel depot is located at the far western side of the city, where the elite regiment is stationed; I suggest prioritizing that. The supply depot is in the city center."
The captain encouraged Little White a bit more, then turned to walk in another direction. Watching the back of the bone demon captain, Little White mentally communicated with Wen Yu, saying, "Master, I'm currently in the shady area to the right of the supply depot. In our team, there's a level 5 initial stage bone demon with an armband, and I hope that when we launch an attack, you can take him out."
"Oh? Is he bullying you?"
"Not really; he's actually very nice to me. It's just that he seems to be blocking my way."
"…No problem."
...
Standing outside the city, Wen Yu ended the communication and looked towards the dilapidated city wall, filled with scars, and the shadowy figures of demons on the wall, speaking to Arcade beside him.
"Let's start."
"I can't take this city by myself," Arcade said with a frown, flipping through the power distribution map of Lusaka that Wen Yu shared with him, unabashedly voicing his difficulties.
