Li Ran was stunned on the spot. He immediately left the city lord's mansion and closed the city gate tightly.
When Li Ran climbed up to the gate and stood next to the ballista, the sky had completely darkened.
Under the city wall, ghostly soul fires danced densely.
The good news is that the attackers are not Dark Elf troops. The bad news is that what is coming is an entire army of skeletons!
Perhaps Li Ran could resist for a while with the towering city wall and a ballistae, but these skeleton soldiers besieging the city cut off Li Ran's last hope. He could not bypass these skeleton soldiers to collect resources alone.
Li Ran leaned against the ballista, quietly watching the last bit of light fall from the horizon, and everything fell into complete darkness.
In the darkness, everything is silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Ran had doubts in his mind: "Why didn't they attack the city?"
At the same time, a sturdy skeleton soldier knocked on the door.
"anyone there?"
Damn it! It’s Hart!
How the hell is this possible?
Li Ran asked with a strange expression:
"Hart, is that you? Are these your soldiers?"
"Yes my lord, I am back."
Hart popped up and stared at Li Ran under the city.
Li Ran let out a long sigh of relief.
He opened the city gate and watched Hart commanding the skeleton regiments to file into the city, with a very wonderful expression.
Only then did Li Ran notice that he had lost Hart's command.
But Hart was obviously not hostile, he was just wearing a strange armor.
what on earth is it?
While Li Ran was confused, Hart half-knelt on the ground, put his right hand on his chest and saluted the knight, and said in a low voice:
"Hero Hart offers his loyalty to our Lord."
Ding!
System prompt: Do you want to recruit the wild hero Hart (occupation: level 1 advanced skeleton warrior)?
Damn it!
Li Ran looked at Hart in shock and confirmed the recruitment without hesitation.
System prompt: Congratulations on gaining the allegiance of the undead hero Hart!
Li Ran saw a hero, 42 skeleton soldiers, and 17 skeleton shooters appear in the battle command sequence!
How did Hart become a hero and how did he bring back the Skeleton Corps?
After Hart was promoted to hero, he wore a chilling black plate armor, and his temperament changed a lot. It seemed that even his thinking got rid of the rigidity of the undead and was greatly improved.
Hart explained: "After I died in battle with my brothers from the Undead Chapter, my soul traveled through the void and returned to the gate of Hades."
"I also said hello to Captain Evan, he seemed very happy!"
"But halfway, a force sent me back."
Hart looked at Li Ran with a serious expression and said, "Because of your efforts, the Star Breaker's major conspiracy was prevented, and countless Ashan creatures were saved from being poisoned."
"Under the guidance of Asha, I returned to the world and became Asha's chosen hero, and continue to follow you."
Li Ran frowned, thinking of the myths and legends of this world.
The world of Ashan was created by Asa, the goddess of creation, the dragon of order, and the mother of time and space.
After the Battle of Creation, the Chaos God Urgas and his demonic minions were defeated and imprisoned in Hell, the planet's fiery core. Asha retreated to a safe corner of the moon, where she rested, healed and dreamed.
The moon is the cocoon she weaves around herself and is also the gate to Hades - the place where all souls are born and return after death.
Hart died and traveled through the void to the Gate of Hades with the brothers of the Undead Chapter. This was understandable, but what the hell was he saying hello to Captain Evan in the void?
"In other words, Yasha resurrected you and asked you to follow me as a hero?" Li Ran asked.
"Yes." Hart nodded, "I have sworn allegiance to you, and the knight's oath is forever valid." The fire of the soul in Hart's eyes danced.
"Thank you... Hart, but what's going on with the armor on your body?" Li Ran couldn't help but ask.
Hart scratched his bald head and said, "I found this piece of equipment in the ruins of the Well of Souls. It has the effect of recruiting skeleton soldiers."

Small part of the effect]
There was surprise in Li Ran's eyes, as he seemed to see batch after batch of skeleton troops being led to Starwind City by Hart. He lowered his head and looked at the ruby pendant in his hand.

At this moment, Li Ran finally had a sense of reality and a glimmer of hope for the future.
The hero Hart, who came to help in times of need, and dozens of skeleton soldiers will be the vital raw capital for Li Ran to build the city.
The damaged Griffin Heart Necklace seems to have no effect at present, but the Cursed Armor can bring a large number of skeleton soldiers to Starwind City, which means a huge source of soldiers and labor.
Without these powers, it would be impossible for Starwind City to survive!
Li Ran fell into thinking. Now the crucial issue of heroes and troops has been solved.
Starwind City is in urgent need of further development, so the first question to be resolved is whether to transform it into the City of the Undead.
There is no doubt that if the undead wandering on the Wind Spirit Plain are collected, it will be enough to build Starwind City into a powerful undead city. However, the main human city does not even have residents, and the next development will face a bottleneck.
Transformed into a city of the undead, there is bound to be more hope of survival than a human city.
"From a pragmatic point of view, it is right to transform it into a city of the dead. There is nothing wrong with it."
