Chapter 157: The First Tier Three Lord!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Waves of white light flashed brilliantly and the members of the various alliances were all resurrected in their own territories with dumbfounded expressions.

Looking at the familiar scene of their own territories, they felt as if tears were welling up in their eyes. It had not been easy for them. They were happy to finally return to their own territories.

However, they were the only ones who had returned. Their troops had all starved to death in the Shadow World. They all gathered to talk on the chat channel.

[What? My troops and heroes have all disappeared forever?]

[F*ck, it really is true. Forget about the troops, my heroes didn’t even revive in the Lord’s Hall.]

[@Tribe game officials, explain yourselves. Where are our heroes?]

[Mine was a B-class hero. Why haven’t we gotten an explanation? We should be compensated.]

Their troops had all died, but what they could not accept was that their heroes had completely disappeared.

It was easy to recruit soldiers, but it was different for heroes. The recruitment tokens for heroes were not sold in the Trading Hall and there were very few ways to obtain them. Usually, only after completing a hidden quest would the system reward them with those tokens.

Their heroes were all from recruitment vouchers given by the system during the start of the game.

Now, they had no more heroes. The heroes that they could recruit in the Hall of Heroes were all trash. The best of them were only D-rank heroes.

When they thought of this, the faces of the players from the various alliances turned pale. Heroes were too important in the game. Without heroes, there was no point in playing it!

Li Cheng naturally could not be bothered with the reactions of the players.

...

Time flew by, and a whole day passed. With the super-strong buff, the players from the Divine Dragon Alliance were raiding all kinds of secret realms.

Various large guilds and gold-farming teams had also issued detailed guides for the secret realms. Some low-level military recruitment authorities had also started to appear in the Trading Hall.

Some of the better players were now able to recruit at least tier-three soldiers. As for the players from the other alliances, they could only watch helplessly. They had no way of stopping the rise of the Divine Dragon Alliance’s players.

Meanwhile, the changes in Li Cheng’s territory were not small either. First, he had increased the skill improvement rates of his various soldiers by 10 times. After that, his level was immediately maxed out. Meanwhile, Luna’s progress was also very smooth. After researching the various magic technology courses from the Royal Magic Academy, her level was also maxed out.

The magic damage of all elements had been increased by 300%. The magic resistance was also increased to 80%. This effect made Li Cheng’s heart skip a beat when he saw it.

He could only sigh. As expected of the Profound Empire which had crushed countless Gods. Its research on magic was really superb.

Li Cheng began to recruit various types of soldiers. After the recruitment was done, Li Cheng’s total military strength had reached a significant number.

64,000 Frost Marksmen, 64,000 Heavenly Knights, 20,000 Frost Dragons, 52,000 Shadow Assassins, 12,000 Profound Puppets, 8,680 Holy Light Priests...

When Li Cheng was done recruiting, the system notification rang in his ears again.

“Ding, dong, your third Lord’s Quest has been completed!

“Ding, dong, due to your extremely high reputation value, you’ve successfully intimidated the Kingdom of Kent. The kingdom has tacitly allowed you to expand your territory!

“Ding, dong, due to your extremely high reputation value, you’ve successfully intimidated the Modill Kingdom. The kingdom has tacitly allowed you to expand your territory!

“Ding, dong! Due to your extremely high reputation value...

“World Announcement. Player Netherworld has successfully passed the test and become a tier three Lord. As the first tier three Lord in the world, you’re hereby rewarded five hundred thousand gold coins and five thousand reputation points!

“Ding, dong! You’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase and obtained the five billion gold coins and fifty million reputation points!”

In the past few days, Li Cheng had once again recruited a batch of priests from the City of Light. What was worth noting was that this batch of priests was personally delivered to Li Cheng by Asilia.

As Li Cheng’s reputation value increased and the evil faction declared war on Li Cheng, the Church of Light had also intentionally allocated some resources for Li Cheng. Somehow, Li Cheng’s territory had become the battlefield between the two factions.

Commander Vic and the Archbishops had keen senses. They could smell a strange scent that was different from before. After the portals were connected, Asilia sneaked over.

So far, Li Cheng’s territory population had close to 230,000 soldiers, and that was not inclusive of Trelefany’s believers.

The Dark Elves came to his territory one after another from various places. Among them, there were many high-level troops, the worst of which were middle-level troops.

However, Li Cheng still did not let Trelefany’s believers fight. All they did every day was pray at the Profound altar. There were also those forest treants that were chattering every day, which Li Cheng pushed toward the mines.

At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.

“Ding, dong, the skill, Arcane Leakage, has made new progress. A total of three hundred experience points have been obtained!

“Ding, dong, you’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase. A total of three million experience points have been obtained!

“Ding, dong,?Arcane Leakage has been upgraded to level two!

“Ding, dong,?Arcane Leakage has been upgraded to level three!

“Ding, dong...

“Ding, dong,?Arcane Leakage has been upgraded to level ten! Its level has been maxed out!”

Lillian’s slender figure walked out as all the soldier skills were maxed out,?increasing their damage coefficients even further. It could be said that the increase was huge!

At this time, Li Cheng did not hesitate and immediately began to level up his territory.

“Ding, dong! You’ve consumed ten thousand units of wood, stones, and iron ore to upgrade the Lord’s Hall to level thirty-one!

“Ding, dong! You’ve consumed fifteen thousand units of wood, stones, and iron ore to upgrade the Lord’s Hall to level thirty-two!

“Ding, dong!

“Ding, dong! You’ve consumed forty thousand units of wood, stones, and iron ore to upgrade the Lord’s Hall to level thirty-nine!

“Ding, dong! You’ve consumed one hundred forty-five thousand units of wood, stones, and iron ore to upgrade the Lord’s Hall to level forty!

“Ding, dong! Your Lord’s Hall has reached the upper limit. Please, complete the fourth Lord’s Quest as soon as possible to unlock the next level!”
