90: Chapter 90 Skeleton Architecture, the Royal Taiji's Troubles

Zhao Feng felt as if he had returned to the moment he first obtained the age of empires base.

Deploy the main base, construct resource buildings, and mass-produce troops.

This exploration base of the Skeleton clan was quite large, covering an area of about five hundred square meters. As the name implied, the exterior and construction Materials of this base were made of some unknown white bones.

Giant white bones, measuring three meters in diameter, were the main Materials for this base. Through ingenious assembly, these thick and long bones had been built into a bone structure that vaguely resembled a giant Dragon.

The gate of the base was the wide-open mouth of the skeletal Dragon. The cold, sharp teeth made one shiver with unease at a single glance; it seemed to possess some special effect.

Zhao Feng could control the building through the System, but he could not enter it.

However, there was nothing worth entering for in a wide-open mouth, and Zhao Feng had no intention of going inside. Instead, he continued to examine the buildings attached to the base.

After obtaining the Bone Base, a new building appeared on the menu: the Bone Conversion Furnace.

The Bone Base came with five hundred Bone Essence, which was just enough to build it.

After a short while, the Bone Conversion Furnace was constructed under his observant gaze.

This was a huge furnace with a conveyor belt, and it came with two skeleton miners. As soon as the two skeleton miners appeared, they raised their small shovels and walked around.

Upon seeing some white bones, the soul-fire of the skeleton miners brightened, and they used their shovels to scoop up the bones and pour them into the furnace. It was unknown what the working principle was, but the furnace abruptly lit up with a ghastly white glow.

Before long, the conveyor belt began to creak and started running. An object the size of a bar of soap, glowing with a faint white light, moved out from the furnace opening along the conveyor belt and dropped into the box at the end.

"Obtained one Bone Essence." The System prompted in a timely manner.

It seemed that this Bone Conversion Furnace could turn skeletal remains into Bone Essence. Zhao Feng nodded thoughtfully and turned his attention to the new building.

A Skeleton Barracks appeared on the interface. It seemed all bases were similar; as an exploration base, this Bone Base certainly needed to ensure the safety of its explorations, so it naturally required more guards to secure the work.

Skeleton soldiers were of no great use to Zhao Feng; instead, the Bone Essence converted by the Bone Conversion Furnace actually brought Zhao Feng some surprises.

The Bone Essence could actually be converted into transformation points!

Looking at the transformation points progress, which was already over 70%, Zhao Feng immediately made up his mind: he must build this conversion furnace all over the entire planet.

Perhaps he wouldn't even need a military victory; Zhao Feng could unify the globe on a higher level.

While Zhao Feng was daydreaming on this side, the Ruler on the other side was becoming troubled.

"Reporting to the supreme Ruler, according to your request, I have recorded the basic situation of the entire Khanate. Do you need me to read it out one by one?"

A long-bearded werewolf stood tremblingly below the high steps, reporting to the Ruler who sat high upon the dais.

This old werewolf was one of the few surviving elders of the Mad Wolf Tribe. Although the decrepit tribal council had been overthrown in the power struggle, because he had chosen the Ruler from the very beginning, he still held immense power within the Mad Wolf Khanate.

The Mad Wolf Khanate imitated the style of the Qin State, with the Ruler as the supreme sovereign. Because the Ruler held absolute power, the previous tribal leaders had either been replaced or killed. Although those standing in the great hall now were all people in power, their authority was completely incomparable to before.

In the System of the Mad Wolf Khanate, the Ruler was the supreme sovereign, with a Left Taiji and a Right Taiji established beneath him. The Left Taiji managed the people's livelihood, and the Right Taiji managed military affairs.

This highly respected old werewolf was the Left Taiji of the Mad Wolf Khanate.

"Left Taiji, please speak." Although the Ruler himself held this old man in contempt, he still needed him to stabilize his rule, so his words were very gentle.

"Before answering the supreme Ruler, I would like to ask everyone a question: have there been any newborns recently?" The old werewolf bowed to the Ruler and then spoke to the ministers and generals beside him.

"Everyone has been busy with campaigns recently, so we haven't paid much attention." A straightforward werewolf spoke up immediately.

Those whose intelligence was still online had already frowned. "If the Left Taiji hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed. Previously, female slaves of various races would more or less give birth to wolf offspring, but recently, there has been absolutely no movement." A minister said with a frown.

"Is the Great Danghu unwell?" Someone who was at odds with him retorted.

Seeing that the topic was about to go off-track, the Left Taiji coughed to let everyone quiet down, then said, "Everyone, this is not a small problem. I believe that no one present here has any health issues, but according to my statistics, in the past year, not a single newborn has been born in our Mad Wolf Khanate."

The werewolves were dumbfounded, shocked by this bombshell.

The Left Taiji continued to drop bombs. "According to my statistics, a year ago our Khanate had about fifty thousand people. After more than a year of fighting against rebels and suppressing bandits, our numbers have decreased by over five thousand. Because there have been no newborns, our wolf clan's bloodline is actually only about forty-five thousand people now."

"Does this not mean that if things continue like this, in just a few years our wolf clan will be extinct?" The Great Danghu was also startled by his own words.

The Ruler coughed lightly on the dais. "Everyone, I hope you will take the Left Taiji's question seriously and find a solution."

A group of werewolves began to clamor, and the one with the loudest voice roared, "Supreme Ruler, that is simple. Go and plunder; it must be that something is wrong with our females. As long as we have plenty of females, surely the problem can be solved."

"Quiet!" The Right Taiji roared, and the great hall immediately fell silent. This Right Taiji not only held military power but was also the Ruler's own younger brother born of the same mother.

"Our spies planted among the rebels report that the rebels have increased by over one hundred newborns this year. In addition, the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance also has no newborns, while the Qin State's population is growing rapidly." The Right Taiji said loudly.

"There must be a secret we don't know about. We cannot sit and wait for death!" A cold, sinister light radiated from the Ruler's eyes.

"Supreme Ruler, give me five thousand warriors, and I will take Yun City for you." A general loudly requested to fight.

"Fool! The Qin State has strong forces; it is not advisable to make them an enemy at this time." The Ruler scolded loudly. "In the next two months, I hope to wipe out the rebels, consolidate the power of our wolf clan, and incidentally solve this secret of reproduction."

"Yes, supreme Ruler!" The werewolves below prostrated themselves in unison and shouted.
