Chapter: 285
“Alright, let’s get moving.” Jay said, walking ahead of them towards the city.
The skeletons were all level 3 now, so each of them could go even if they fought 1 on 1 with a stone soldier – however, there were four of them. It was always a 4 on 2 fight, completely unfair for the stone soldiers.
Jay noticed Blue walk behind him with the other 3 skeletons walking behind Blue in a line.
“Nice.” he nodded in approval, appreciating their changed behaviour.
As Jay got to the top of the hill which overlooked the city, he noticed some stone statues running towards them.
“Huh?” he was confused seeing the two helvetian stone statues running directly to him.
He wondered for a moment what was going on; this wasn’t their usual behaviour – He only just got here after all.
Suddenly, Blue ran in front of Jay, and the other 3 skeletons lined up in front too.
“Oh, they must have been in a fight when I summoned them.” Jay realised.
“I like that the skeletons will just drop whatever they’re doing and obey,” he thought with a happy smile.
The three lined up skeletons rushed forward, meeting the two stone soldiers in battle.
Jay decided to watch for now.
“The skeletons have been killing these non-stop so maybe they’ve learnt a thing or two?”
Jay’s guess was proved correct as the fight started.
The skeletons still fought the same with their hammers, but they had developed a rudimentary battle tactic.
Two skeletons would fight a single statue, while the solo skeleton would run around the second statue in circles, literally in circles, keeping it distracted.
Jay shook his head, almost laughing as he watched.
The large soldier was turning in circles slowly, trying to keep up with the insane speed of the single skeleton while its comrade was slowly chunked to death.
“It must be so stupid that it works… perhaps this strategy is because Blue is in charge?” he thought, remembering how the skeletons fought as if they were alone previously but now it seemed like they fought as a team.
Blue wasn’t in the fight; still standing on the sideline near Jay, protecting its master, though it seemed like it was observing the battle.
“I wonder.. if I wasn’t here, would Blue be fighting or still watching the fight from the sidelines.”
“Surely Blue isn’t that smart. I don’t even have that [Mind] skill yet.” Jay wondered before shrugging.
“Oh well.” he kept walking down the hill towards the fight, not worrying about the battle, as he trusted in his skeletons.
As he walked, the first statue went down. The two skeletons then ran over to finish off the last statue.
With three skeletons hammering at the one statue, the helvetian soldier had sealed its fate.
