Chapter 19: Suspected Local Organizations!
Editor: Atlas Studios
This upgrade increased the probability of summoning a random quantity.
In other words…
In the future, there would be a high chance of being able to summon more of the same battle unit!
Gale felt that he might be able to summon a small team soon!
"Just as I thought, the higher the grade, the greater the benefits."
Gale murmured as he looked at the military building before him.
He was right to choose to upgrade the building.
By doing so, whether it was the benefits or the strength of the other castle lords, there would be a certain gap between him and them.
At the moment, that small gap did not seem obvious.
As time passed, this tiny gap would crack like a cliff, making it impossible to cross. One could only watch!
However, leading ahead of a billion Castle Lords was just the beginning.
If one wanted to rule over the Endless Lands, the most troublesome ones would be the local organizations.
Only by eliminating all these threats could he truly be able to assume power!
Gale's goal was still quite far away.
If he wanted to do it, he had to do it to the best of his ability. This was something he had always kept in mind.
"Tomorrow, the number of my battle units should hit four."
"If I'm lucky, there'll be more than four."
Because he already performed a summoning earlier in the day, the cooldown for his military building had not been reset.
Therefore, the summoning of new battle units could only be done tomorrow.
Night fell.
The blood moon appeared, illuminating the entire Endless Lands.
Gale's battle units also rushed back.
On the way back, they conveniently killed more than a dozen Tier 3 monsters.
Following the expansion of the castle's sphere of influence, the level of monsters had also increased.
Naturally, the resources and energy obtained would be much more than that of a Tier 1 monster.
The higher the level of the monster, the higher the chance of an Origin Edge dropping as well.
Back in the castle, the Abyssal Demon Novia requested for Gale to allow her to guard the courtyard.
Gale was puzzled by this, but he also expressed his understanding.
Blood Moon was good for a demon-type creature like Novia.
On the contrary, the other two soldiers did not like Blood Moon. Instead, they felt constrained.
However, this sense of restraint did not exist during the day.
Gale deconstructed the monster's corpses that his battle units had obtained in the day.
The obtained food was once again placed on [World Channel].
There were still a lot of resources to be gathered before the castle could be upgraded to an Elementary town.
The other materials that were decomposed from the monster's corpse were all placed in the warehouse.
While he did not know the usage of these materials at the moment, his intuition told him that these things would come into play in the future.
In any case, there was an almost limitless space in the warehouse. There was no harm in leaving it there to collect dust.
What if he could really use it in the future?
Just as Gale was sorting out the resources, Cicely flapped her wings and flew over.
"Master, when we were hunting in the castle's territory today, we discovered something different from the past."
Hearing this, Gale closed the virtual interface and nodded for her to continue.
After receiving the order, Cicely continued to complain.
"When we realized something was wrong, we immediately followed."
"This was a group of creatures wearing tattered armor and holding spears. We can confirm that they are not monsters."
"They have their own consciousness and intelligence, and the lowest strength in their group were all Tier 3s, the highest being Tier 5."
"There were not many of them, only about 40 people. When they saw the three of us, they moved far away from the castle."
"He must have been intimidated by our strength."
Cicely told the story seriously.
After hearing that, Gale frowned slightly and started to pace around.
"Could it be a local organization?"
"Could it be that they're no longer unable to restrain themselves?"
Gale murmured to himself.
If it was really those local organizations, they were definitely plotting against the castle.
Otherwise, they would not have run away in a panic after being discovered by Cicely and the others.
No matter how one looked at it, this was extremely strange.
It looked like a typical scheme had been discovered.
With this in mind, Gale snapped out of his daze and immediately ordered Cicely, who was waiting for instructions.
"Tonight, everyone must be on high alert of the happenings in the castle's sphere of influence."
"Kill anyone who is found to be engaging in any suspicious activity!"
"Thank you for your hard work tonight."
As soon as he spoke, Cicely hurriedly bowed and said, "It's our honor to serve you, my Lord."
With that, she retreated.
Since they were enemies on the surface, Gale would naturally not spare them.
According to Cicely's report, this army of 40 people at most had warriors at Tier 5 and could not pose much of a threat.
However, since they dared to cause trouble in the castle's territory, Gale would naturally not let them have their way.
It could coincidentally help to supply his battle units with some energy.
Since the walking energy bundles had delivered themselves, it would be a waste not to take them.
In the middle of the night.
After receiving Gale's order, Cicely and the others searched within the castle's sphere of influence without missing a single corner.
Gale did not sleep. He stood on the observation platform at the top of the castle and looked around.
The blood-red light shone on his body.
A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling his long hair.
Tonight was destined to be another sleepless night.
Fortunately, he had the support of the energy in his body. Otherwise, a normal person would not be able to endure such long hours.
After a while…
Gale's eyelids began to fight, and sleepiness overwhelmed him.
Under the intense search of the soldiers, they did not find the so-called invading organization as well.
While waiting, he checked the [Trading Channel].
2,500 units of food had been sold.
In this transaction, he obtained a total of 18,000 units of wood and 3,500 units of stone.
As for the Origin Edges and pure iron, he did not get a single trade.
Although it was expected, Gale still felt disappointed.
However, he soon brightened up when he realized what this meant.
This so-called pure iron should be referring to having the Castle Lords search for mines or ores.
Resources that were related to metals would not be so easy to obtain.
The amount of time or power consumed would be more than the amount of wood and stone.
Even Gale himself had not found a way to obtain pure iron.
Not to mention the Castle Lords who had been developing slower than him.
As for Origin Edges, that went without saying. It was even more precious than pure iron.
Unless they were about to starve to death, no one would take it out to exchange for food.
The problem of the shortage of food had been resolved over time.
Now, every Castle Lord was slowly shifting their goals towards upgrading.
Unless one of them could upgrade their castles to the Advanced level, otherwise it would be difficult for him to be able to find a source for pure iron in this short period of time.
"It seems that the difficulty of upgrading the castle to a town is not just some small problem that will be settled quickly."
At that moment, Gale seemed to think of something.
With a command, he opened up his [Friend] list.
