Chapter 107 - 106 Hero\'s Festival (request for monthly votes)_l
The changes in Evo-power had altered Mu Yuan’s purchasing plan.
This had to do with the number of eligible types of soldiers, and perhaps also with his breakthrough into the first-order professional level.
Would there be changes in the future?
He wasn’t sure; he just needed to control the present.
“Sentries and archers belong to the human category.”
“Skeletons and ghosts belong to the undead category.”
As for Treeman? Its affiliation was not a plant but it belonged to the nature category. This could be understood from the effects of Treeman Forest.
Having thought of this, Mu Yuan was flipping the information about types of soldiers and eventually decided to select two types of Remnant Souls in nature series for trial purchase.
On the northern side, around thirty or forty kilometers from Tianyuan Territory, a large blue-grey bird was soaring through the clouds. Its piercing eyes were peering through the faint white mist that shrouded the earth, looking around from a high and observing everything.
From time to time, it would let out a refreshing squawk.
I, the bird master, am no longer weak-!
Thinking back, it had to be extremely careful even just flying out once. Just a few harpies could chase it into a near-death state. Now, with the vast world and boundless earth, where couldn’t it, the bird master, go?
Whooosh-!
A few giant birds with large bodies screamed over from the distant sky.
With their tawny wings, they seemed like giant bloody hawks, which were the ‘Bloody Warhawks,’ the rare two-star monsters. And there were as many as seven of them!
Jun, the bird with limited cultural knowledge, couldn’t identify them. He just felt that these big birds were bigger than him, seeming a bit hard to mess with… Of course, the bird master wasn’t scared, just thinking it was unnecessary. Since it was still on a mission for its Lord, else a few red-feathered birds…
The Bloody Warhawks turned their heads, seemingly sensing something.
Storm Falcon Jun instinctively shook, then with a whirl towards the ground, it whirled into the vast forest in the blink of an eye, avoiding a disaster… avoiding an unnecessary conflict.
It continued heading north.
Upholding its mission, Jun avoided several conflicts, beat up a few smaller monsters, and, upon discovering an important target, proactively turned on the field of view sharing, sending the information to the great, supreme, noble Lord.
“The goblin army that attacked the territory before probably came from this tribe.”
Mu Yuan speculated.
In Jun’s field of view was a monster settlement roughly equivalent in size to the snake man tribe. However, just several days later, it had become abandoned and occupied by a group of jackal men. The whole tribe was reduced to a mess due to their disorderly searches.
This was his property! How could he tolerate such a humiliation!
He immediately dispatched General Duo Lai, who rode a Hurricane War Hawk to launch an airdrop.
“Apart from this tribe, Jun also discovered several noticeable large monster camps on his way north and encountered countless professional-level monsters.”
The Eternal Continent indeed was fraught with crises. He had no doubts that if he continued to fly downwards, he would bump into elite-level monsters, or even warlord-level monsters.”
It also had to do with Jun flying northward.
The farther to the north, the deeper into the wilderness. Toward the south was the Tai Xuan Alliance, and the distance from the nearest official town would be about a few hundred kilometers.
That’s quite far away.
The official settlements, however, were considerably closer, at less than a hundred kilometers away.
He could visit sometime – dispatching a general, and with him, Lord Shepherd, pointing the way through the spiritual link, it was almost as if he had been there in person.
But it was not necessarily safe to go south, into the territory of the Tai Xuan Alliance.
There are also dangerous and uninhabitable places in the territory of the Tai Xuan Alliance, where no human territories are found. Even if you travel thousands of miles deep into these regions, you would struggle to find a sign of human life.
New territories in several southern provinces of Xuan Country, period after period, year after year, are scattered across the Twilight Plains. The Twilight Plains is a general term, inside which are Dark Forests, lava lands, extremely cold frosty forests, among other perilous areas where new territories would not be established.
The areas surrounding where the newcomers are born are either full of weak monsters or fraught with danger, but both types fall within the scope of ‘low-risk zones’.
But when Lords keep expanding and exploring, they might bump into a ‘high-risk zone’ one day.
Mu Yuan hardly leaves his house, but his mind is always busy.
One thought to browse the images shared by Jun; one thought to guide Duo Lai; one thought watches over the territory, occasionally giving directions to Lu Liu; one thought controls several Hurricane War Hawks, probing around Tian Yuan Territory unceasingly;
Under such circumstances, he still has a thought left to place orders for Remnant Souls on the forum and glance briefly at the situations of other players.
“Guys, managing refugees isn’t easy. Dozens of people are all over the place, and if you’re not careful, there’ll be fights, or they might just starve to death… help, how do I handle this?”
“No kidding, I just arranged for these refugees to go out mining, and more than a dozen starved to death. They are so fragiley delicate, and the looks those refugees gave me seemed a bit off. Trouble makers! All of them are trouble makers!”
“Lord, you may have violated the Convention on Citizen Management. Please take note!”
Many newly entered Lords complain.
Some people think that Goblins and such troops are the ‘troublemakers’. They like to run around here and there, difficult to command. It is only when dealing with refugees do they realize the difficulty.
Moreover, the Lords have to worry about finance, construction, security and many other issues. All are overwhelming to them.
And their troops are only capable of fighting or killing, can’t do anything else!
“There are solutions. You all can hire players with managerial skills, or look for talents among the civilians, and grant them some positions, allowing civilians to manage civilians.”
But the former is not reliable enough, the latter requires a fair amount of time to observe and find, and is also not as reliable as having your own troops.
Lords prefer to rely on their own troops, who are extremely loyal and will unconditionally execute orders.
Mu Yuan looks at Lu Liu and Seventeen who are guiding the refugees;
Looks at the Dead Bone who leads the team on his own to explore;
Looks at Hong Yi who silently tears down the fleeing monsters around the territory; and Jun who doesn’t need his concern and sends back images from time to time;
He nods slightly, “The troops with self-consciousness are really good.”
However, thinking of the second-generation Lords who are spending a lot of Krypton Gold, and with the support of their elders, introducing large numbers of precious troops and miracle buildings, he feels himself quite insignificant.
He was far from being strong enough.
An experienced Lord said, “The best way to share the heavy workload is to recruit soldiers with self-awareness and exceptional talents, or simply cultivate a hero.”
It’s like a casual remark from an expert. Everyone knows that a hero is a Lord’s right-hand man, but those who can really have a hero are almost all experienced Lords.
If they were experienced Lords, wouldn’t they have better things to worry about besides these trivial matters?
“Generally speaking, the Hero’s Proof is extremely rare, but you new Lords indeed have an opportunity to recruit a hero. Even small, it is still an opportunity everyone can try.”
“It is the every-three-year… Hero Festival.”
“This is a unique mechanism of a Secret Realm, and a part of welfare the Eternal World gives to the new Lords. When the festival starts, the entrance to the Secret Realm will connect to all the new territories, and now, it has been… two and a half years since the last three-year period.”
“Guys, make sure to seize the opportunity.. Back then, I just missed a strong, full-bodied, seductive female hero, a regret for my lifetime!”
