"In the absence of the Lord, it's safer to use human troops. Otherwise, troops might be attacked by other players as monsters."
But with human troops...
Or in other terms, the mainstream units such as spearmen, guards, archers, only the troops exist, not the monsters.
Unlike goblins, there are both goblin troops and goblin monsters.
Although players can scan—the ones that can be scanned are monsters, otherwise, they are troops or players, but in intense combat, in a complex jungle of steel, players could still instinctively react and attack goblins as monsters when they encounter them.
Human units are much more reliable.
The Eternal World didn't have monsters like spearmen, at most, they could encounter some 'barbarians', 'mountain bandits' of the human race, but they are also rarely seen.
Mainly, it's inappropriate to let the skeletons move independently when the Lord is not here.
