Chapter 61 - Establishing a Commander for Eight Thousand Men!
Chapter 61: Establishing a Commander for Eight Thousand Men!
“So comfortable! This is too magical. The fatigue from working overtime has disappeared!”
“Me too. These light spots have healing properties. The blood clot on my hand is gone too!”
“A Class 4 Light Priest. As expected of a high-class special class. Terrifying!”
Not far away, the soldiers guarding the platform exclaimed.
“Hahaha, didn’t expect that I can also breakthrough to Class 4 in this lifetime at my old age. Feels good!”
At the same time, Gran laughed freely. His style was completely different from his previous elegant and easy-going self. It was as if he wanted to sweep away all the grievances that he had been suppressing over the years. Moreover, after his mental block was removed, he became a few years younger, looking radiant.
At once, Gran’s charm completely overshadowed Luo Feng, Su Yu, and the other two who had just succeeded in breaking through to the next class.
“What incredible mental strength!” Luo Feng narrowed his eyes, his expression grave as he muttered, “I remember that Class 4 Light Priests seem to possess offensive abilities. Their initial skills are Spiritual Shock and Energy Ignition. Be it warriors or other classes, those whose mental strength is inferior to him will probably suffer.”
“I think the skills are only so-so. It’s only useful for mediocre people. Let me go. I might beat him to death within three punches.” Su Yu bared his teeth and smiled kindly at Gran.
“Don’t just be all talk. That old bastard stole our limelight. Let’s find an opportunity to beat him up. Blackie Su, are you up for it or not?”
Xu Que urged in a low voice, his expression calm.
“Bleh! Who do you take me for?”
Su Yu raised his head arrogantly and shot Xu Que a sidelong glance. “Don’t come looking for me if there’s nothing to gain from it.”
“If you don’t dare, then forget it trash. I’ll find a chance and do it myself,” Xu Que muttered.
Soon, the three of them withdrew their gazes and simultaneously stared at the remaining Class 4 attributeless upgrade scroll in Lin Ye’s hands.
An upgrade scroll of this class could be used for any occupation type.
With their foundation and talent, all three of them was more than qualified to use it.
However…
If it was in terms of seniority, it probably wouldn’t fall to them.
As expected, after rewarding Priest Gran, Lin Ye asked him to remove the corpse poison from Adelia.
At Class 4, Sacred Healing was enough to heal her perfectly.
Then, he waved his hand and called for Tru again.
“My lord!!” Tru seemed to have sensed something. He forced a straight face and prevented the crocodile’s tears from falling.
He walked forward and stood pencil straight.
His broad shoulders were like doors, but they could not withstand the excitement and eagerness at this moment and were trembling.
Finally, would he, Lin Tru, have the chance to restore the glory of his ancestors and become a great Class 4 powerhouse?
“Don’t be so excited. I haven’t decided whether to give you the Class 4 attributeless upgrade scroll yet,” Lin Ye teased.
“Ah, don’t, my lord. I’ve already prepared my heart. Even my emotions have been brewing for a long time. I got my old friends to give me a few punches one by one to squeeze out these tears. Besides, haven’t we reached an agreement? I’ll help you be the bad person…”
“Cough!!” Lin Ye coughed lightly and interrupted Tru.
“Forget it, I was just joking with you. Look at how scared you are. Take it. If you succeed, you will be the commander of the soldiers authorized by the territory’s lord.”
Lin Ye casually handed the Class 4 Upgrade Scroll to Tru and said, “If you don’t succeed, the position of commander will be given to Luo Feng.”
“Ah, this…” Tru blinked, the upgrade scroll burning his hands a little.
In terms of talent, there was no doubt that he was worse than Luo Feng and the others. That was why he had to break through to Class 3 using the upgrade scrolls.
He already felt the gap of his cultivation. Moreover, when it came to Class 4, the success rate would drop drastically and be only about 70%.
He did not dare to guarantee that he would succeed in one try.
Of course, it was impossible for him to give up on the upgrade scroll.
As a warrior of the ‘Lin clan’, for something which was so close to his hands, he’d rather throw it away than give it to anyone else.
Unless, of course, the three of them submitted and called him big brother.
Perhaps he would then let them be…
Lin Ye could not be bothered with the rivalry between his subordinates. As long as there was no hatred or revenge, they could do whatever they wanted.
After sending Tru away to advance to Class 4, Lin Ye looked at Luo Feng, Su Yu, Xu Que, and Ron. He spoke slowly, “What I said just now was not a joke. If Tru did not advance to the next class successfully…”
Boom!
A powerful and golden upgrading light descended not to far away.
Lin Ye was speechless. He glared at the grinning Tru, who was still in pain as he crazily devoured the golden upgrading light.
He turned back and organized his words before continuing. “I’ve decided to establish eight chiliarchs under the commander. After the upgrade of the bunker, the population’s upper limit is now 8,000 people. The rangers will be managed by Adelia. The blacksmiths by Lin Dachui. The native workers by Lin One. The chefs by Nicole. And on the soldiers’ side, their numbers far exceed those of other occupation types.”
“The original 1000 soldiers will be under the direct control of Tru. Whether it’s the patrol team or the my personal guards, Tru will be in charge. The four of you, go to the barracks later and recruit class 1 attributeless soldiers.”
“Each of you will recruit 1,000 soldiers. I will give you guys the authority to directly hand the fees over to the soldiers’ tribes.”
“I don’t ask for much. Manage your own soldiers. Don’t create trouble for me.”
“All those are the basic requirements. Of course, there’s only one core mission…”
At this point, Lin Ye’s voice became very low, so soft that only the four of them could hear it.
“Remember this. I will reward you with 10 Zombie Souls each time you convert a soldier into a loyalist. I will give priority to the people who converted more loyalists whenever high-tier weapons and equipment drops. Have you seen Adelia’s Level 4 Silver Tier Weapon, Windbreaker Bow?”
“That was rewarded to her personally by me. Now, there are still a few of them left. It will all depend on how capable you guys are.”
Hearing this, Luo Feng and the others swallowed hard.
Class 4 Silver Tier Weapons!
Heavens, this was considered a piece of top-grade equipment in the underworld.
That fellow, Adelia, carried the Windbreaker Bow with her around all day to show it off.
Who didn’t know? Who didn’t? But because of the lord’s presence, they didn’t dare to say much.
But now, the Lord had also given them the same promise.
What was there to hesitate? A glint flashed across their eyes.
Even someone as steady as Luo Feng could not help but start thinking about his own tribe.
Not to mention converting 1000 soldiers from his own tribe, even if he needed to convert 3000 of them, it would not be a loss if he could exchange it for top-grade Class 4 equipment.
After all, this was choosing Lin Ye’s side. Becoming loyal to him was a supreme honor.
When they thought of that, why would the four of them hesitate? All of them volunteered themselves to Lin Ye.
“Lord, I still have 3,000 people in my tribe back home. Can I recruit more, including my father who is a Class 3 top tier soldier? You can’t usually recruit them, but I can use the Bloodline Teleportation Technique, which can only be used once every 30 years, to forcefully bring him over. What do you think?”
Xu Que had learned this method from Lin One a while ago. He would follow suit and sell off his father as well.
However, there were others who were even more ruthless. Su Yu lowered his head and silently dashed towards the barracks like a phantom. Without a word, he started recruiting.
“Blackie Su, how dare you!”
Xu Que flew into a rage. “You dare to disrespect even me? I’ll beat you to death!”
Soon, mayhem occurred at the camp. The three main characters took action, their battle aura soaring. Lin Ye shook his head continuously.
At this moment, a system notification popped up.
“You’ve received 90 Reputation points!”
