Chapter 298: Chapter 252 Check-in

Lind was preparing to disengage himself from the operations of Newbie Village.

While he required the identity of the village head of Newbie Village, that did not mean he genuinely wanted to stand like a post and distribute work to the Undead. The task was too tedious.

As the number of Undead attracted by Lind’s aggressive spending on equipment increased, he also considered adding some operational staff.

Of course, not from the Rand Legion but those former market Knights.

After a year, they gradually recognized their place, overwhelmed by the power of the Rand Legion and stripped of their former baronial privileges, many of the market Knights were living miserably.

Some of the market Knights actually had to do manual labor to earn their food.

Time and hardship can cure all bad temperaments, especially as Lind gradually took control of Mountain Demon Castle and after he brought the newly reorganized Rand Legion, they completely straightened up their act.

They even felt very proud of having survived a battle with the Rand Legion.

The main defense force of Mountain Demon Castle region was the Rand Legion.

Lind had dispersed the Star Dragon Soldiers and the third Royal Guard of the Legion, allowing them to reorganize in the way of the former First Legion.

The First Legion consisted of Noble soldiers, formed by young Noble Knights investing in their own ranks, each team including Knights, Cavalry, Infantry, Scouts, Logistics, etc., and the ultimate goal of each team was to fight for the Noble.

The Second Legion was comprised of commoner soldiers, always at the vanguard and the last to retreat, they were cannon fodder but also the backbone of the Rand Kingdom. Nowadays, Lind’s Star Dragon Soldiers were mainly made up of the Infantry from the Second Legion.

The Third Legion was the Cavalry Legion, belonging solely to the King. On the battlefield, the Cavalry had an unmatched dominance, and Rand Kingdom’s armor development had always been leading among neighboring countries. Impenetrable armor combined with the terrifying Cavalry charge could rout enemies in a single encounter.

However, when facing the Calamity, a single Cavalry Legion was facing the threat of obsolescence. The enemy was not like a two-legged sheep waiting to be charged and thrown, they could fly, run, and even wield ranged attacks.

A more comprehensive battle Legion was necessary to deal with these issues.

Lind, having coveted the Cavalry for a long time, employed a frog in warm water approach, using the advancement to Great Knight as an incentive for Queen Rania to agree to gradually hand over her soldiers for his training.

The Cavalry that were sent to Lind did not directly take the Magic Potion, even though they were of excellent quality and taking it directly would not cause too many problems.

First, these Cavalry would undergo training, various mental exercises, to gradually wear away their aloofness.

It is well known that throwing a group of people together for training would smooth out even the sharpest edges over time, assimilating them into the collective.

They would then be divided into groups, with Cavalry, Infantry, and others forming teams. Sometimes, they would be teamed up with those with Wizard talent, and all were candidates for taking the Magic Potion.

Then Lind would arrange for them to attend classes.

Knowledge was the first step for Lind to win them over. To gallop through the end times, the Cavalry needed more comprehensive combat knowledge.

As a transmigrator, Lind only remembered one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, "retreating is the best strategy".

But he had the Undead, who had brought a vast amount of knowledge to this land, including cement, steel refining, construction, cranes, soilless cultivation, and more.

There were always a group of people obsessed with playing computer games on mobile phones, playing mobile games on computers, reading novels on watches, and now indulging in fully immersive diving games to replicate everything on Earth.

And as long as there was a reward for a quest, the Undead would gleefully take on the role of copying and transporting information.

To say that Lind had a group of war gods under him might be an exaggeration, but every Soldier’s mind was stuffed with knowledge, and they had become accustomed to thinking before acting.

Soldiers, whose horizons were broadened by knowledge, would gradually drink the Magic Potion. Following the training exercises with each other, they would discover that after each squad was matched, their combat effectiveness took a qualitative leap.

They would accept this assignment and begin to synchronize with the new team.

After all, before this, no one in the Rand Kingdom had ever experienced the marvelous use of wizards, the combination of different magics, nor had the support of archers wielding mystic rune bows made the cavalry charges more pleasant.

Everyone was there to serve Her Majesty Queen Rania. Besides, staying hidden with Rania in Thorn City all the time, when could they ever strike back at Goliath!

Fully integrated into the new formations, the cavalry might not have sworn allegiance to Lind verbally, but their knowledge came from themselves, their thinking aligned with his, and even their goals and ideals were the same as his.

In that case, they were his people.

Lind had not completely usurp Rania’s military authority; the reorganized battle legion was also sent back to Rania’s side with greater combat capability than before.

The battlefield of the cavalry was in the repeated charges against the enemy, not in lifting their spears as a ceremonial guard every time the queen made an appearance.

He was merely utilizing this power in his own way.

Whether it was the Great Knights or the Senior Grand Knights, they seemed like a powerful force that could sweep through the Rand Kingdom, but a closer look would reveal that the game level range for Great Knights was 11-20, and for Senior Grand Knights it was 21-30.

The Rand Kingdom was just a map for newbies.

It was even simpler to explain to Rania; his demands were all aboveboard, requiring Rania’s nod of approval, and his methods were quite gentle.

Now Lind was commanding the lords in the name of the queen. Rania was very clear about her situation, and after all, she wasn’t at a loss.

Before her contact with Lind, there were hardly any Great Knights in Thorn City. But now, not only did every Land Soldier possess the strength of a Great Knight, but there were also no shortages of Senior Grand Knights, and their strength had increased by more than dozens of times.

Rania was forcing herself to believe in Lind.

The Blackfire brothers took their orders and left, and the market knights would join their work under their leadership.

These guys were now very honest. They wore mismatched armor, and Lind had never planned to integrate them into the war sequence, so he hadn’t wasted a resource on the market knights.

Complex and tedious work dulls the mind.

What was more frightening was that a large number of Undead were coming to Emerald Hill, not all at once, but a steady stream, with a few arriving every so often.

At first, the market knights seriously answered questions and strictly followed the script as instructed by the Blackfire brothers and Lind.

Gradually, they grew tired, and their tone became stiff and rigid.

"This place’s NPC intelligence doesn’t seem very good," an Undead murmured.

"Probably because there are too many characters; they didn’t set up any specific lines, and they’re all reading from a prompt. They must have rushed the internal beta test."

"After all, there are already dozens of Newbie Villages appearing on the official website, and with so much land around, it’s quite normal for NPCs to be mass copied and pasted."

"Hey, look at that, damn, those two guys are so black, like shadows!"

Not racially black, but just pure, pitch black.

The Blackfire brothers noticed that the Undead were acting strangely, seemingly having some peculiar method of contacting each other, and they seemed to be saying "hurry up and check-in."

More and more people crowded around them, Undead standing by their side.

Check-in? They seemed to grasp what it meant.
