Chapter 148 - The First Vassal Race
Chapter 148: The First Vassal Race
After these paladins finished speaking, they entered the portal one by one. Now, Li Cheng’s territory was already connected to the City of Light’s portal.
Then, Li Cheng looked at the Pearl and said, “These are three types of high-level soldiers. You can use them.”
These three types of soldiers were obtained directly from the Profound Empire’s database. Their ranks were at tier 8 and tier 9, which were considered pretty good.
The Meat Sheild soldiers, DPS units, and healers could be said to be very useful soldiers.
Pearl nodded and took them. Up until now, she did not know how to reject Li Cheng’s generosity.
Just as Pearl was about to say something, Li Cheng continued, “Go all out and be a violent soldier. Your talent should come in handy.”
Hearing this, Pearl nodded obediently. “Alright!”
Pearl was an S-class talent, which meant she had 10 times the population and 10 times the recruitment speed of normal players. As long as she had the recruitment authority, it would be as easy as breathing for her to explode with her brute force.
Following that, Li Cheng took out all the tokens from his backpack. “These items can be exchanged for contribution points in the Church of Light. After that, you can go and exchange for a noble title.”
Although she could not exchange for any high titles just yet, Pearl’s identity would change once she had a title. Then, it would be easier for her to do things in the future.
Pearl accepted all of them. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Thank you… Master.”
Hearing this, Li Cheng shook his head. With an indifferent expression, he lifted her delicate chin and said, “This is just a transaction. You must know that what I get in return is all of you.”
When Pearl heard this, she did not say anything and simply smiled sweetly.
At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly rang in Li Cheng’s ear.
“Ding, dong, a new person wants to join your territory.”
Oh?
Hearing the system’s notification, Li Cheng was stunned. Previously, the system had indeed notified him that there was a new person who wanted to join his territory, but when he returned to his territory, he did not see anyone.
Now, it seemed that the people who wanted to join his territory had been packing up their things. Li Cheng was also curious as to what kind of people wanted to join his territory.
When he thought of this, Li Cheng led his heroes to the city gate. When they were still some distance away from the city gate, Li Cheng heard some chattering sounds.
“Wu wu wu…it’s all gray here. I’m a little scared.”
“Yes, but I heard that Netherworld is kind-hearted and he’s the holy son of the Moon Dance Goddess. I believe he’ll be easy to talk to!”
“Why have I heard different? I heard that this Netherworld kills people without batting an eye, instantly killing billions of troops. There are only a few people among us. Will he kill us immediately?”
“Those are bad people, you big idiot! They’re all bad people. They deserve to die!”
When he heard these words, Li Cheng’s footsteps paused and his face was immediately filled with black lines. He could somewhat guess what race it was now, and even his footsteps to the city gates slowed down quite a bit.
A minute later, Li Cheng and his heroines arrived at the city gates. Now, he could clearly see the source of the voices. It was a group of forest treants.
They had the heads and arms of elves and the bodies of deers. Their large eyes revealed a gentle and peaceful gaze.
However, as troops, they had well-trained techniques and wielded javelins.
Seeing Li Cheng come out, a treant with an obviously longer and more exquisite face walked out. The ID on her head said she was called Beatrice.
When Beatrice felt Li Cheng’s gaze on her, she immediately trembled. However, she still mustered up her courage and said to Li Cheng, “That… Netherworld Overlord, we hope to become your subordinate race!
“But there are countless evil centaurs attacking our territory. After joining your territory, we hope that you can help us deal with them!
“If you agree, Lord Netherworld, my sisters and I are willing to sacrifice our lives for you!”
After her soft and gentle voice fell, the system’s mechanical voice immediately rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
“Ding, dong, do you accept the request of the forest treant clan?
“Hint. If you agree, there will be sixty-eight million five hundred thousand centaurs attacking your territory soon!”
Hearing her words, Li Cheng felt a little confused. A race moving into a Lord’s territory was something that he had never encountered in his two lifetimes.
As for the forest treants, they were not that strong. Many of them were middle-tier soldiers. Even if they were elite, they would only graze the borders of being high-tier soldiers.
On top of that, they had very few attacking methods. Normally, they would simply smear some poison on their spears before throwing them.
Beatrice, who was in front of them, was evidently the leader of this group of forest treants. She was only a level 40 Epic-grade Boss. In front of him, she was just a weakling.
However, there were still quite a number of them, at least tens of millions. This number of soldiers was not bad even if they were used as cannon fodder.
If this were any other species, Li Cheng would have agreed immediately. The problem was that this group of forest treants was famous for being talkative.
They could talk for 25 hours a day. Even when they were sleeping, they would still be talking.
Li Cheng thought about it and finally agreed. This was also a signal for the other species, telling them that Li Cheng welcomed workers here, or rather, weak species.
It would be known that Li Cheng, Lord Netherworld, was so kind that he could provide protection for the weaker species. Hence, he agreed.
As for the centaurs that Beatrice mentioned, they were all trash in Li Cheng’s eyes.
Even if the Centaur God came personally, Li Cheng would scatter his ashes.
With Li Cheng’s agreement, the system’s voice rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
“Ding, dong, the forest treant clan has become your vassal race!
“Ding, dong, you can adjust your policy towards your vassal races!
“Ding, dong, the centaur clan has already regarded you as their mortal enemy and will attack your territory in the near future!
“Ding, dong, as the first player in the world to have a vassal race, I hereby reward you a hundred reputation points!
“Ding, dong, you’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase and obtained a hundred thousand reputation points!”
