Lautner sighed that many new recruits had the strength of middle-level professionals.
He did not know why every soldier William chose, at the lowest, had middle-level bloodline.
What did this mean?
In the eyes of the players, these were all elite small Bosses…
NPCs with beginner-level blood were the most common in the players’ eyes, that was, ordinary monster.
Middle-level blood were the elite small Bosses, and those with high-level blood were chief-level Bosses.
Those with Grandmaster blood were even more impressive, they were leader-level Bosses.
As for Epic and Legendary, they were super Bosses that could not be handled even if one pushed with his life.
William was looking forward to seeing what expressions the players had when they entered the game and saw that his soldiers were all elite small Bosses.
“Other than the civilians who had not changed their profession, professionals with middle-level blood in the town are almost wiped out by me.
“We can’t wait too long. We’d better buy some slaves and slave workers quickly.” William thought for a while then took out a magic scroll, writing a line of words and then gently tapping on the trumpet design.
The words on the scroll slowly disappeared.
A few minutes later another line of words appeared on the scroll.
“5000 slaves and 500 slaves professionals? I’ll send them over seven days later.” Signed by Curry.
Magic transmission scroll.
It could transmit sound and text.
It was worth 100 gold coins!
With a limit of 300 times.
For the players in the early stage of the game, this was a very expensive luxury item. A few of them were reluctant to chat with others, but they also sent random messages to NPCs, and the consequences were self-evident.
By the middle stages of the game, everyone had one and with the opening of the new version of the game, it became cheaper.
The way to use the magic transmission scroll was like adding friends, one needed to exchange magic signs on the scroll in advance.
“The most important thing is the space equipment, but it’s too hard to get it.” William had a little headache. In the early stages of the game, players had bags full of useless items. When they went to the battlefield it was as if they were going grocery shopping.
When the players in the early stage of the game participated in the main missions on a large scale, they carried all kinds of packages on their backs and when they died, their things would drop all over the ground. This was much higher than the explosion rate of monsters…
Often, before both sides started to fight, the players themselves could not hold it in.
Afterall, there was no guild residence or personal residence in the early stage of the game. As long as the extra materials were not sold out in time, and there was no place to hide them, players had to carry them.
“At least find a Space Archmage to buy some space equipment, although this kind of character has exceeded the version limit.
“Neither Iron Duchy nor Black Rock Duchy has a Space Archmage.”
William did not forget Moses, he couldn’t always ask him for help, otherwise, sooner or later, Moses would understand that he already knew Moses’s identity.
Then, the difficulty of doing transactions between them would increase.
“After the good impression points reach 700, it shouldn’t be a problem.” In addition to leveling up, fighting monsters and completing missions, William was also brushing up the good impression of those key NPCs.
Especially Moses.
In two months, the number of times he had gone to the divination room was no less than 60…
It was necessary to have a close relationship once a day. On the premise of ‘being handsome’, as long as you suck up a little, you could increase your good impression.
Although this endowment was not very effective for high-level NPCs with Legendary blood, for the past two months, William had increased his good impression to 250…
“This is like falling in love. You need to show your face, have a meal from time to time and have a chat while looking at a rainbow, to achieve a reliable relationship.”
William gradually began to like his endowment. According to the NPC with Legendary blood, other people could not gain good impression just by lip service. It required substantial depth and gifts!
And where did Curry’s slaves come from?
It was obvious that some of them were slaves from Black Rock Duchy, followed by slaves from the countries bordering the Black Rock Duchy.
Other than large scale wars of aggression, there were countless frictions in the marginal areas between the human countries. It was not only to seize resources, but also to capture the civilians of other countries and turn them into slaves.
If not, it was to buy slaves from neighboring countries.
After all, in a country with a large population, many civilians would be turned into slaves for no reason, and the price was often much cheaper.
This also could not be helped.
The nobles were in charge.
The civilians would likely be caught while walking on the streets and then an arrogant noble would say, “You’re a slave now. Take him away and sell him.”
Nobles.
A dominant power occupying the human countries.
Combining excellent bloodlines, they had advantages in each generation.
Money had an advantage.
Equipment had an upper hand.
Even battle energy skills had considerable advantage.
The third era of the Legendary continent had lasted for thousands of years. Since the human nobles stood on the top of the world, there had been no successful rebellion by the civilians and slaves. The gap was too large…
The destruction of some countries was often caused by another country, or overthrowing of the nobles…
In short.
It was difficult for civilians and slaves to overthrow the nobles’ policies without resources.
For example, many of the slaves William bought were sold from countries farther away.
But!!!
The main reason for the ‘King’s War’ in the first version was caused by an organization.
That was the Freedom Alliance who caused a stir in the Legendary continent.
Among them, the King of Black Rock Duchy was poisoned to death.
The reason the Iron Duchy dared to start the war was that there were some people pushing them from behind and even the King was under control.
The princes of the Black Rock Duchy killed each other, fighting for power and profit. It took two months for someone to truly inherit the throne and there was also someone who was behind it.
And that person was Goethe Nasis.
He was the biological son of the Iron Duchy’s King and had used his mother’s surname since childhood.
As for his mother, she was a prostitute. Goethe’s mother noticed something was amiss after getting pregnant and although she was a prostitute, in the four to five years, only the Iron Duchy King had touched her.
After Goethe’s mother found that something was not right, she quickly went into hiding. The premonition of an assassination really came true…
After everything had become calm, she took her newborn son with her and ran to Black Rock Duchy on the other side. The assassination attempts never stopped, leading to keep her identity hidden.
But the most pitiful thing was that all the women who the King was interested in, had to be extraordinary.
And because of this, Goethe, from a very young age, had watched his mother use her body in exchange for money and food. She had used that money to support his studies and all his daily necessities…
As a child, Goethe Nasis could remember his mother hiding in the room every day, crying her eyes out.
But no matter how scarred this woman was, she never forgot to face her son with a smile.
Goethe Nasis, founder of the Freedom Alliance, was the true big Boss of version 1.0.
“So, it’s not dangerous to buy slaves for the time being; it’s even reliable. These slaves who can’t go back to their hometowns can’t survive if they run out.
“As long as I restore their civilian status, they will work hard.”
William knew that he was more like a slave owner, but he would abolish the slaves title and the civilian’s work would pay off.
The most critical thing was there were no nobles in the territories of the neutral camp.
The only nobility was the Lord.
The neutral camp wanted to keep the peace of territory, other than concentrating their resources, they also wanted to concentrate their power.
That was to say, the Lord’s strength must be strong. If the Lord was not strong enough, those loyal subordinates must be strong, strong enough to make people dare not resist.
“So, although the territory of the neutral camp is small, its strength is daunting. I can take the elite route.” William knew that he had his own five-year goal and ten-year plan. As long as he could be strong before the crisis, he could stand firm here.
“By the way, it’s time to get rid of the Trolls at Rainbow Lake.” William ran to look for Lautner.
He was now at level 30.
Although he was still 10 levels away from the middle-level professionals, it could be said that it was one rank away. But William, who had Legendary blood, already had extraordinary strength.
At least in the face of most middle-level, high-level and Grandmaster blood Trolls, as long as their levels were not too exaggerated, he had the confidence to kill them even if they were over level 40.
And Lautner?
Of course, he was used to holding out against the big Boss.
Don’t take the Rangers for granted, William believed that his uncle was good…
“Oh yes, not only am I going to find Lautner, I’ll bring along Nox, Norton and even Eric and his son. They are very good hunters and there’s no problem in asking them to go hunting together.” William raised his eyebrows.
Both Nox and Norton had Grandmaster bloodline and had entered level 48 one after another. Dressed in silver middle-level equipment, their strength was not weak.
As for Eric and his son?
They were hiding in the city as hunters. If the Lord invited them to hunt, they could not refuse at all.
