817 A Grand Meeting
However this was proven wrong. This method… It seemed to open a new page for everyone. Even that spearhead got an improvement to his ability, making me seriously consider leaving the remaining beast for the future forces of mine.
But when I saw how massive my current armies here were, I decided to push this chance till its limits.
Let them gain such support, let them become hellishly stronger. They would turn out to be the real backbone of my kingdom, and hopefully I’d find chances like these in the future to help other forces in the future.
But now, I got another chance for me.
“It’s time for you, baby,” as everyone was heading in such excitement, I looked in much more one towards the collosal body of that beast.
I… Got a unique chance to add more bones to my reserve, higher grade ones that I got the feeling they’d be all special.
Taking the bones from such a colossal body reminded me of the same task I did before while cleansing the dead body of my little turtle.
I started touching this body at different parts, and each time I got the message of having bones to take.
[You can claim twelve diamond grade bones]
[You can claim twenty-four red grade bones]
[You can claim six orange grade bones]
Wow! Just in the first half an hour, I got such music to my ears’ high grade bones.
Orange grade? This was the first time for me to get something like this!
That wasn’t the only good news here, the number next to each grade was something new to me. I always got two bones, mostly four of such high grade bones.
But now? Each time I got such messages of such grade bones, I got numbers like ten, twelve, and even fifty!
Wow! This was a bone festival then!
I also got that this was also the fact I was getting bones from the surface. There was still the depth of this beast, and for that I let my fallen gods devastate its body to get to the depth of the beast.
For ten straight hours I kept claiming bones of different grades. The lowest one I got was silver grade bones, and I got them in huge amounts each time.
[Tell me that beast isn’t like the one we just killed] As I finished, I sent this to the jumper and others.
[It’s the same]
[Nothing new, boss]
[It’s just the same like the previous beast]
Yet all the answers I got were telling me the same. I sighed before taking out my staff, and went directly towards the location of the next beast.
As expected, it was exactly the same situation and sight as I saw in the previous basin. And this kepot happening for the remaining two basins as well.
Things went just the same with the first beast. Even my bone gains were the same.
It took three days to wrap things up. Aside from my bone gains, the gains in cultivation was something else!
I reached stage nine at my cultivation base. But that wasn’t the thing that made me laugh all the way back to the capital.
My forces… They all reached cultivation base three and four in general, even five and six in some cases.
The jumper didn’t tell me which base he was in, but Hilary told me that she made a breakthrough towards the next big base.
I estimated that the jumper also gained such a big jump as well.
In the end, everyone got something great from this. And the biggest winner was indeed my kingdom.
Before leaving towards the capital, I summoned everyone on my chariot to discuss what to do in the next few days.
The fourth quest was going on at the moment, but it wasn’t that threatening to us anymore. We gained lots of things from this battle.
Forces, land, people, and even a boost in cultivation… I gained lots of things to make me feel more secure right now.
But the problem wasn’t this quest, but the fifth one.
I had to leave for that golden quest. I still got nothing about its conditions as that ticket I had still showed inactive state.
I’d be gone, zombies would run through land, so things were going to be hectic. Not to mention the enemies which would try to take a piece of my kingdom during that time.
In brief, things would be much harder than anyone of my generals standing on my chariot right now were expecting.
I looked at such wide smiles and heard their laughs and felt they were taking everything wrong!
“First of all, why are you celebrating like this?” I stood, folding my arms and looking at them in such a serious way.
One by one they stopped their celebratory mood. The only two who were acting calm were Hilary and the jumper. They both knew how bad it was for the upcoming quest.
Not to mention the jumper was starting to feel nervous about the golden quest. He would get a chance at last to meet up with the man who changed his life.
“Boss… Isn’t this a great victory worthy of our celebration?” The spearhead took the charge of others, speaking about the benefits gained from this battle.
“I don’t need you to narrate the gains we had, I already know them all,” I moved my eyes around, “what we have isn’t a big victory, but a great stretch of land filled with Hectors and we need to secure that.”
“We will,” Sara stepped in, “give me an army and I’ll dominate these lands for you.”
“It’s not the problem of controlling these lands with our forces, it’s the problem of time.”
I paused for a long minute, giving them the chance to absorb what I just said, “We need to control this entire continent in less than five days. Can you do it?”
They looked at each other before I added another condition, “and without shedding lots of blood. These Hectors will be our people and I don’t want to get short on their numbers.”
“This…”
