Gazing at Valkyrie’s terrifying Four-dinsional Attributes, which were enough to dwarf all others, Qin Feng suddenly had a bold idea.
He would form a contract with Valkyrie and make her his Exclusive Mount.
’Is this even possible?’
’Valkyrie’s original form is a Demon Beast, but the Lord System has now marked her as a ’Companion’ and a Heroic Unit. She shouldn’t be able to beco a Mount, right?’
Driven by this curiosity, Qin Feng opened the Village Guard Team panel. He first organized Valkyrie into her own separate guard squad, then attempted to remotely Control her, wanting to see if he could trigger the option to bind her as a Mount.
[Do you wish to form a contract with "Valkyrie (BOSS)" and make her your Exclusive Mount?]
[Note: After the contract is ford, Valkyrie will gain a portion of the effects of your "Bloodthirsty" Talent. Each enemy she personally kills will increase both your Bloodthirsty Layers and her own.]
[Note: You cannot contract another Exclusive Mount until Valkyrie dies.]
Huh!?
It actually worked!?
My god, holy crap! Valkyrie is a Heroic Unit! Even a Heroic Unit can beco a Mount for a Riding and Cutting Dominator!?
Isn’t this Magic Modification a little too much!?
’Oh well, whatever. After all, I’m the one benefiting from these rules. What right do I have to question the great power of the Riding and Cutting system?’
’I should just happily submit!’
’And just sit back and enjoy this Invincible gift from the heavens!’
Hehehe...
After binding Valkyrie as his Exclusive Mount, Qin Feng did a quick check. He found that besides allowing her to also enjoy the Talent Effect of the Bloodthirsty Stack, there were no other special effects.
In other words, Qin Feng could neither telepathically communicate with Valkyrie from a distance nor directly summon her to his side.
A new "Violent Bear Knight" Profession hadn’t appeared on either of their status panels.
Nor could they perform any badass Combined Techniques.
’Oh well.’
’It’s not a big deal.’
’The true aning of this ’contract binding’ is still to let Valkyrie go in my place to kill on distant, dangerous battlefields, raising my own Bloodthirsty Layers...’
As he thought about this, Qin Feng turned his gaze toward the Gluttony Player’s territory to the south.
The Sielo Knights had already arrived there and were strictly following the guerrilla tactics he had previously laid out, launching irregular, 24/7 raids.
Day or night, the Sielo Knights would relentlessly hunt the villagers and production-type citizens in Gluttony’s territory.
If conditions allowed, they would also watch for opportunities to eliminate a group of the enemy’s Divine Chosen Soldiers.
However, the Sielo Knights always controlled the scale of their killing, not daring to venture too deep into enemy territory.
After all, if they got too greedy, they would likely be encircled by the enemy’s main force. When faced with the enemy’s simple and brutal Sea of People Tactics, even the most elite Extraordinary Soldiers would inevitably be worn down to their deaths.
And this wave of nasty harassnt tactics left Gluttony utterly miserable.
He had no choice but to temporarily halt his territory’s developnt, order all his production-type citizens and villagers to hide in the Lord’s Hall, and then dispatch his Swordsman Legion to patrol outside and stop the Sielo Knights’ harassnt and sneak attacks.
But it was fucking useless.
The individual combat power of the Sielo Knights was just too imnse.
Whenever Gluttony dared to split his forces, the Sielo Knights would imdiately pick them off one by one.
But if he didn’t split them up, the commotion from several hundred Swordsn all clustered together was enormous. There was no way the Sielo Knights would see so many enemies and just run out to their deaths.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Gluttony could only have his entire Swordsman Legion hole up near the Lord’s Hall, cutting off any possibility of the Sielo Knights hunting them down individually.
Then he ran to the FSC chat group to frantically beg for help.
"Brother Long!"
"I’m fucking done!"
"That guy, Tingfeng, I don’t know where he got those Heaven-defying Soldier Types, but I can’t even see their stat panels!"
"And those sons of bitches are riding ridiculously fast Desert Giant Wolf Demon Beasts to raid my territory every day! They specifically target my unard villagers, and occasionally they even manage to kill a few Divine Chosen Swordsn who get separated from the group!"
"It’s gotten to the point where I can’t develop, I can’t go out, I’m just completely trapped here."
"And the daily top 100 participation rewards for the ’Resource Collection’ event!"
"I can’t get any of them now!"
"Damn it!"
"This playstyle is really pissing off!"
"If I’d known, I never would have bought into that bullshit theory about Two-Handed Greatswords making you Superior!"
"I should’ve just gone with an all-Cavalry build!"
Seeing the complaints from Gluttony in the group chat, Gale, whose real na was Liu Feng, was completely confused and imdiately asked:
"What do you an?"
"You can’t see the information for those Soldier Types?"
"How is that possible?"
"Logically, we should be able to see the info for all Soldier Types. At most, you wouldn’t be able to see the detailed stats for Legendary Heroes, or Mythical Heroes who surpass the Legendary level, right?"
Just then, Dragon King suddenly chid in with a detailed explanation:
"It’s possible."
"Before the Strongest Lord event ends, we’re still in the Newbie Stage. As long as we aren’t actively courting death, we basically won’t run into one-star Extraordinary Soldier Types."
"So... the unknown Soldier Types attacking Gluttony Territory are, in all likelihood, one-star Extraordinary Soldier Types that Tingfeng subdued. That’s why we can’t get their detailed stats for now."
Gluttony: "???"
Gale: "???"
Greed: "???"
The female player with the ga ID "Seductive Desire" followed up in the chat:
"What?"
"How did he do that?"
"Getting a one-star Extraordinary Soldier Type at this stage... isn’t that just a pure Dinsional Strike? Couldn’t it single-handedly take on an army of several hundred ordinary soldiers?"
"And the total army size for top-ranking Lord Players is only around five hundred!"
"More powerful ones, like soone on mad madam’s level, can at most support a Divine Chosen Army of just over a thousand!"
"If Tingfeng has several one-star Extraordinary Soldiers, plus the Demon Beast legions and Ratman Warriors he controls, couldn’t he just steamroll the bases of all the elite players in the Hafke Alliance?"
"Doesn’t that make him Invincible?"
After a pause, she suddenly realized sothing was wrong and quickly said:
"Wait!"
"That’s not right!"
"There’s another problem!"
"Why didn’t he just destroy Gluttony’s Lord’s Hall?"
Gluttony realized it too:
"That’s true."
"He didn’t directly destroy my Lord’s Hall."
"The power displayed by those unknown soldier types wasn’t as ridiculous as a one-star Extraordinary Soldier Type. At most, their combat power was sowhere between Zero-star (Gold) and Zero-star (Red)..."
Suddenly, Pride, who had been silent the whole ti, popped up and explained in a cold tone:
"What?"
"You guys don’t know?"
"Those are special Extraordinary Soldier Types in a negative-level state. Maybe level -5, or maybe level -10, which is why they can only display the combat power of an Ordinary Soldier Type."
"Unless they can level back up to level 1, they won’t fully recover to their one-star (White) standard and possess the Powerful combat strength to crush ordinary soldiers."
Dragon King nodded:
"Yes."
"I estimate that this guy, Tingfeng, has already found the location of a Void Gate and won the allegiance of the Extraordinary Soldiers guarding it."
"And those negative-level Extraordinary Soldier Types that appeared in your territory, Gluttony, are the guardians of that Void Gate."
His tone then shifted, carrying a hint of emotion as he said:
"I can only say,"
"that guy is truly Heaven-defying."
"He actually dared to take on a high-difficulty defensive siege against the frantic attacks of more than 10,000 Void Creatures."
"And he wasn’t even afraid of being sward to death by those Void Creatures..."
Gluttony shivered in fear:
"Holy shit!?"
"Brother Long!?"
"Then what am I supposed to do now!?"
"Once these Extraordinary Soldier Types recover their one-star strength, won’t they slaughter my few hundred Swordsn in minutes!?"
Dragon King reassured him:
"Don’t panic."
"For special Extraordinary Soldiers with negative levels to get back to a normal level 1 state, they need a massive amount of Combat Experience."
"Even if they killed every single citizen and soldier in your territory,"
"it wouldn’t be enough to et the leveling requirent for even one of those Extraordinary Soldiers."
He paused, then laid out a concrete plan:
"Next, you just need to defend your Lord’s Hall."
"Wait for the rest of us to get to you. Then we’ll counter-attack his territory together and tear down his Lord’s Hall."
Then, Dragon King @’d Pride, Seductive Desire, and Greed, and ordered in a grave voice:
"Everyone."
"Given that one of the Void Gates has been personally activated by Tingfeng, and that he has also beco aware of our existence,"
"this news could reach the ears of other players at any mont. From there, so sufficiently sharp players could discover the Evil God Faith path we intend to follow."
"Therefore, I suggest we imdiately begin the ’Evil God Faith’ ceremony to obtain the Blessing of the Evil God as soon as possible, and simultaneously start training an Evil God army."
"Any objections?"
Pride snorted coldly:
"Hmph!"
"We should’ve converted long ago!"
"After delaying for so long, that mad madam from the Hafke Alliance has probably already won the favor of a Great Noble from the Southern Kingdom and unlocked the Southern Kingdom’s Cultural Camp!"
"At that point, she could use her influence in the regional channel to organize all the Lord Players into a crusade against Evil God Believers, and she could even conscript elite native armies from the Southern Kingdom!"
"We won’t even have ti to build up our strength in secret!"
"We’ll have to go to war with them!"
His words were filled with dissatisfaction toward Dragon King’s delaying tactics, and it was clear he had been bottling up his anger for a long ti.
Dragon King explained calmly:
"Zhou Kehua."
"You’re too aggressive."
"If we perform the Sacrificial Ceremony of the Evil God right now, the probability of us being discovered is close to 70%. We basically wouldn’t be able to hide it."
"At that point, we’d all still be in the early stages, and we could easily be wiped out in an instant by a large force of enraged Native Powers and other Lord Players."
"To be honest, even performing the Sacrificial Ceremony of the Evil God now is a bit too early."
"But we have no choice."
"Because the scenario you described could happen at any ti—mad madam discovers our Evil God Faith plan and organizes a massive force of players and natives to attack our Lord’s Halls."
"We have to be prepared for an open war with everyone else."
After taking a deep breath, Dragon King continued in the chat:
"There’s nothing more to say."
"I can’t be bothered to explain any more to you."
"If you have a problem or an issue with my tactics, go complain to Manager Huang. Let’s see if he listens to you or to ."
Pride was dismissive:
"Hah?"
"Manager Huang?"
"What does a guy who got his position by kissing ass know?"
"You should know... I’m the only Reincarnated Player here who has personally experienced the Evil God allegiance path. I know exactly how much Powerful strength a Lord Player gains after becoming an Evil God Believer!"
"This timid, cautious playstyle of yours is the definition of extre turtling. It’s completely pointless."
"It’s like worrying you’ll get clubbed to death by a caveman when you’re holding an AK-47."
"The biggest coward of them all."
"Anyway, I’ve said my piece."
"Just make sure you timid cowards don’t drag down later."
"..."
With that, Pride logged off directly, returning from the Lord World to the Real World, leaving only the dozen or so other core players in the FSC chat.
After a long silence, the female player nad Seductive Desire spoke up awkwardly:
"Um?"
"Brother Long?"
"My Sacrificial Ceremony of the Evil God... requires to have relations with fifteen different species. There are only a few Sub-human Tribes in the forest... How am I supposed to do this?"
Dragon King slowly explained:
"Go back to the Real World."
"Pigs, dogs, cats, cows... all different animals count as different species. Once you’ve... taken care of all of them,"
"the Blessing of the Evil God from the God of Lust will take effect imdiately."
"If you can’t do it,"
"go ask Manager Yun and Manager Lin for so pointers."
"They are both Evil God Lords loyal to the ’God of Lust.’ They know how to overco the psychological pressure in a situation like this."
