141: Chapter 131 Internal Test Version 1.03 Update 141: Chapter 131 Internal Test Version 1.03 Update “That’s it!”
Newt from Star Dragon Ridge swung a punch powerful enough to smash a mortal’s skull; his fist, wrapped in flames, broke through the air towards Watt, but it was blocked by the swiftly raised arm of his opponent.
Sparks exploded like a blacksmith’s hammer on anvil at the point of collision between the fist and the arm, accompanied by a muffled thud.
Newt quickly pulled back his fist and darted forward, landing two rapid punches in succession on his opponent’s chest.
Watt let out a stifled grunt as the impacts hit his chest, and was toppled by a sweeping leg that followed.
The sound of his back hitting the ground rang out like metal clashing against metal, echoing like a blacksmith’s heavy hammer.
“Hahaha, Newt, Newt!
Newt!!”
The onlooking soldiers cheered.
That’s what a duel between soldiers was like, where the victor takes all the glory, the spoils, everything, and the loser loses it all.
Newt walked over to Leith, bent down and extended his hand, which Leith grabbed.
They were Lind’s nine most loyal soldiers, and now, all of them had successfully become Great Knights.
“Next time, I’ll make you cry for your mama.”
“Haha, I’ll stuff my fist in your mouth that stinks worse than your ass first!”
Star Dragon Ridge’s strength was rapidly developing, but the Undead could no longer be seen here, and the shift in focus had become inevitable.
But that didn’t mean people could relax.
The overwhelming daily workload made everyone feel both blessed and afraid.
“Clap, clap, clap,” the sound of applause came.
Several people turned to look at the figure in gold plate armor approaching, their smiles not yet faded, and they all bowed in greeting, “My lord!”
Their casual salute was a privilege of their close-knit brotherhood and mutual trust.
“Leo, Riff, Reed, Peel, Pim, Newt, Watt, Leith,” he called out quickly, “you have a new job.”
“Yes, sir!” The eight men stood at attention, eyes bright, waiting for further orders from Lind.
“Head to Faith Crossroads, organize a group to capture Catastrophe Warhorses.
The brothers from the Second Legion will coordinate with you.”
Even without mentioning the advantages that the Catastrophe Warhorses could provide in the hands of the Undead, the mount attribute itself was enough to entice people.
The Rand Kingdom didn’t have that many Cavalry members; within the three armies of the Rand Kingdom, the First Army was made up of Nobles, the Second Army consisted of common foot Soldiers, which was also the largest army, and the Third Army, also known as the Royal Guards, was Cavalry.
In the world of magic, the boost provided by Cavalry might not be as strong as one might imagine, but that’s assuming the mounts are average, not Catastrophe.
“Besides that, there are the mines to the north.
I’ve arranged for someone to negotiate—remember, no conflicts.”
They want food resources, and we need minerals; there are opportunities for cooperation.
Lind had too many troubles in front of him and didn’t want to provoke any new, unknown forces in the short term.
The New Nobility has made significant inroads in recruiting the Undead, and many have gained Supernatural Power after joining the New Nobility, breaking the “invincibility” of Star Dragon Ridge.
Since one can obtain the Magic Potion needed for advancement in other places as well, there’s no need to come specifically to Star Dragon Ridge, and besides, the vast majority of the 3000 Undead players have no clue where Star Dragon Ridge even is.
Even within the Rand Kingdom, there aren’t many Newbie Villages for themselves; most Undead aren’t even within the Rand Kingdom’s borders.
But even other Undead had the chance to come into contact with Supernatural Power.
After all, Lind was just an NPC artificially made to look like a boss monster, not one that could control the overall situation.
“Sir, what about me?” the leftover, Old Pete, pointed to himself.
“You’re coming with me,” Lind said, “I hear you’ve learned a lot of recipes from the Undead?”
“Sir, don’t worry!
Dozens of dishes, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”
…
Leon Territory.
The Undead caused a huge stir when they unexpectedly drank Magic Potion and mutated, but once it was confirmed they hadn’t lost their minds, no one cared anymore.
They’re just a bunch of immortal freaks anyway.
Milan sat on a stool, having disassembled her twin hand-crossbows; she was now meticulously oiling each component.
Every piece was vital to her success in upcoming battles.
When idle, Milan would clean and maintain them over and over.
Arrow shafts, ropes, and other equipment were no exception.
A bottle was abruptly placed on the wooden table with a “thud,” causing the crossbow parts to jump from the reflection of the table’s reverberation.
Milan frowned, and her scarred eye, hidden by her long hair, glanced up through the locks to see the disgusting, toothless grin.
‘Toothless’ Yang.
Lord Leon had a total of nine Upper Rank underlings, but in truth, only his three regiment commanders were his real confidants.
The rest, like Milan, had pledged their loyalty willingly but held no military power.
While some aspired to obtain military authority, others might not care as much.
Each of the three great regiment commanders controlled twenty or thirty Great Knights, which, aside from the ‘New Nobility’ Lord Leon, made them the most powerful individuals in the Leon Territory.
For example, the ‘wine’ in front of Milan—if she wanted a drink, no problem, but it wouldn’t be so simple to solve the food issue.
Whether to let Great Knights venture into the Calamity Shadow Region to risk planting mutant crops en masse or to consider the life of the ordinary person as cheap as a dung beetle and have them eat less to save food, any sane person in power knew which choice to make.
Imposing power was indispensable, ordinary people hardly more noble than dung beetles.
“Something the matter?” Milan began reassembling her hand-crossbows.
