Chapter 335
The beast roared angrily into the air. Uncaring about the hundreds of warriors on the giant stone wall in front of it, it charged forwards.
''Graggh!''
It charged as it screamed, instantly barrelling into the wall causing it to crumble into pieces. The few warriors on the wall dying in hatred.
''Bah what weak warriors, lets keep going.''
Lily just stared at them mockingly and continued to march forward.
According to the information, there are only 10,000 Warriors on the Pillars. Regardless of how hard they are to defend they don't stand a chance to compare against Lily.
Terrain isn't enough to compete against overwhelming strength.
Only when strength is equal will Terrain cause a qualitative difference.
Rapidly Lily's Ice Golem blasted down the fortresses and the army moved forward. In the absence of top combat power the ice golem was invincible.
Quickly they reached the top. The slightly flattened top spans a few thousand kilometres. But it was surprisingly the smallest of all the pillars!
Lily quickly looked around in closer detail. The Harpies lived in small wooden huts with large birds nests spread around. She could see many small families with women and children.
However the men bravely stood on the front line with whatever tools they could pick up.
''Drop your weapons! We don't want to kill you. We can guarantee that you will be treated well and your current life won't be affected.''
Samuel treasures the outreach and location. Of course he won't uproot their current territory to move them.
The Harpies heard what they were saying, and combined with the large army behind Lily slowly dropped their weapons.
With the fall of the first Pillar and the most combat oriented pillar, the rest followed quickly.
After all, they are just a weak group of immigrants having escaped from a Tyrant's rule. Clearly they weren't too powerful or respected.
''Sister it is over. The final Pillar surrendered. All the warriors were killed as you ordered.''
This is a habit Lily gained from her father. In the instance where it is an unwilling prisoner it is better to kill them and slowly replace them later.
Only Mortals will be kept around, because regardless of how many there are it is difficult to create a wave.
''Good. Go and tell my father, I will occupy one of the pillars and send him the other six.''
Lily listened carefully and nodded. It was within her expectations. Lexi is a skilled leader and none of the other Pillars had strong leaders. It was only a matter of time until they were occupied.
''Master, Lily has successfully taken down the Candle Pillars. I have also received news that the Misplaced Wanderers and Marginalised Bandits have been dealt with. It is estimated that the rest of the forces will be captured by the end of the week.''
Samuel heard the report and nodded. If Lily couldn't even deal with this, then what qualifications does she have to be the Heir?
These are all relatively weak forces. But under the combination of 20 forces, Samuel will see an increase of close to 130 Million Mortals of different races!
Not to mention a massive increase in territory within the Eternal Battlefield, including strategic places like the Candle Pillars and a few basic constructions.
Although it isn't much, it is a foothold for Samuel to grab onto on the Eternal Battlefield.
It isn't easy for anyone to survive on the Eternal Battlefield. That's why Spiritual Farms are so difficult to construct.
But without the presence of Spiritual Herbs attracting a lot of beasts it is still possible to survive even if you're weak.
Of course you run the risk of being wiped out by a passing strong man or bombarded by beasts at any time!
However the Spiritual Energy and the resources on the Eternal Battlefield is also incredible! That's why families create their base camps on Eternal Battlefields rather than High-Level Planes.
So a week later, Samuel arranged the second mission. All the current locations were occupied with a massive population of 127 Million!
This time Samuel sent out over three million warriors targeting dozens of small forces.
But this time his attention was focused on the list once again. Although these small forces could supply Samuel with close to 200 Million Mortal Populations. The actual benefits are rather small.
Even more so, Samuel has to dispatch tens of thousands of troops to defend these Mortals!
So Samuel wanted to compete with a stronger force, a force qualified to provide him with a lot of resources and also a lot of Luck.
Recently Samuel has recognised the importance of talented descendants. Any single talented descendant can create a force comparable to a family situated for hundreds of years!
Take Situ for example. He has close to 1,000,000 Warriors under his control and has firmly occupied his plane.
Recently he took the initiative to start a war with a force close to him! A small empire.
Well I say small, but it is only small for an empire. It owns three Planes and has a population of close to three hundred million between them!
The number of warriors are more than 500,000 and the top combat power is a High Rank 3 Warrior.
Samuel didn't think there was much suspense in the battle. But it was a great chance for Situ. If he managed to control it, he would bring 3 planes under the Lanford Family's control and gain 300 Million members of the population.
The only downside Samuel found was that the race was the ButterFrees. Butterfrees are a race on the same level as the Caterpillar Swarms.
Even when it comes to Low-Level Races they are at the bottom. Their Mortals physical strength are less than one tenth of a humans!
Except for the ability to slow their descent with small wings Samuel can't think of a single positive.
Even their humanoid figure is a completely multi-coloured scaly figure with hideous large green eyes and a long tongue coming out of their mouths.
However Situ has currently less than ten Million Mortals under his control. All ex-slaves purchased on mass or stole from convoys.
But they will eventually have to suffer the torture of sleeping with the hideous Butterfrees in order to turn them into Transitional Dogs of War.
