These mutated Skeleton Warriors would quietly accumulate power in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to challenge the Skeleton Lord and seize control of the Corpse Hill. Or they would hide forever, never to be discovered.
However, if discovered by the skeletal horde under the Skeleton Lord's command, a war would break out. These hidden, mutated Skeleton Warriors often triggered large-scale conflicts, as their very existence posed a threat to the Skeleton Lord's rule. As long as they lacked the strength to confront the Skeleton Lord, their only fate was to be devoured by him.
This brutal competitive mechanism made the evolutionary path of the Skeleton Race exceptionally difficult. Through the accumulation of countless years, only eight Skeleton Centurions—the eight major lords of this region—had managed to survive on this path.
