[Congratulations, you are the 57th Castle Lord that defeated an enemy castle force. You have gained influence and reputation points!]
"I'm only 57th?" Haru was a little surprised. Indeed, the benefits of destroying the enemy's castle were considerable. Haru was delighted. After all, there was not only a blueprint of the arrow tower, two Magic Crystals but also a total of seven hundred and eighty Power Stones, as well as various supplies.
He obtained so many resources just by destroying one castle. It was a bumper harvest! However, the last message surprised him. 56 Castle Lords have destroyed enemy castle forces before him. He had thought that he would be the first. However, he did not expect to be ranked 57th!
"The disappearance of the novice protective period also means that the battle between Castle Lords has begun! It's very difficult for two Castle Lords who are close to each other to be in peaceful mode. After all, their resources are limited. Even if they don't go to war now, they will go to war in the future."
"Whether it's the battle at the castle or attacking the local forces, it's all a matter of time. It's just that I'm only in 57th place. Those guys are crazy!" Among the billions of Castle Lords, there were some lucky ones who got Top-Level troops. Their ability and strength were also not weak and if they had the ambition to fight for supremacy among thousands of races, these lucky children were worthy of Haru's vigilance.
However, he did not think too much about it. This ranking did not represent anything. If he wanted to compete for this ranking, he would have sent the Angel Team to destroy the castle first thing after the battle in the morning. With the Angel Team's strength, getting first place was a simple matter. The ranking reward was only some influence and reputation points. It was not worth Haru's attention.
"I didn't expect to be able to directly get the arrow tower blueprint!" This blueprints, when dropped, already came with its name so it did not need to be identified. Haru speculated that the reason the arrow tower blueprint was dropped was that the man's castle had a defensive structure — [Arrow Tower].
Similarly, one could conclude that by destroying enemy castles, there was a chance that the relevant blueprints for buildings and facilities would be dropped. The blueprint of the arrow tower was proof.
…
It took more than an hour. The Angel Battle Team finally returned all the spoils of war to the castle. Haru's warehouse had 1300 units of food, 170,400 units of wood, 89,000 units of stone, 9,000 units of iron, and many monster materials and equipment until now and Haru stored the Power Stones and Magic Crystals in the Ring of Forest Giants.
"There's still a long way to go before we upgrade to an Intermediate Town but the material for upgrading the Angel Reincarnation Pool is already halfway collected!" This was good news. As Haru's barracks building, the Angel Reincarnation Pool could nurture the angels. Its importance was self-evident.
It could even be said that the upgrade speed of Angel Reincarnation Pool was more critical than the upgrade speed of the castle because the earlier he ranked it up, the more angels he would have. In comparison, upgrading the castle was not that important. After all, there was no reward for upgrading the castle.
Therefore, Haru's enthusiasm for upgrading the castle was far from as urgent as upgrading the Angel Reincarnation Pool. Upgrading the castle could be done step by step. He would upgrade it if the reserves were enough. As for Angel Reincarnation Pool, it was Haru's primary goal.
At this moment, a blue blueprint appeared in Haru's hand. On the surface of the blueprint, there were countless mysterious runes, which looked quite strange. It was the Arrow Tower.
[Low-Level Architectural Blueprint: Arrow Tower]
[Uses Left: Five]
[Effect: Increases the defense of the castle, slightly increases the loyalty of the residents]
[Description: Each tower can hold up to four archers]
[Construction Requirements: 2,000 units of wood, 300 units of stone]
"This thing is useless to me!" Just by looking at the description of the blueprint, Haru knew that Arrow Tower was useless to his Angel Castle because his troops were angels. Their combat strength was already very strong. There was no need for such a useless defensive building.
Having angels defend the Arrow Tower would reduce the overall strength of the Angel Battle Team. If it was a defensive building that could automatically attack enemies, then it would be useful. As for the arrow tower, building it would only take up space. Haru did not hesitate and placed the [Arrow Tower Blueprint] onto the Hyperspace Trading Channel.
[Auction Blueprints: Arrow Tower (click to view specific information)]
[Auction Time Limit: 3 hours]
[Bid Using: Power Stones, Magic Crystals]
[Auctioneer: Kazehaya Haru]
In addition to the blueprint of the arrow tower, Haru also threw the food in the warehouse, as well as the Low-Level equipment he had obtained, all into the [Hyperspace Trading Channel] for sale.
The monster materials were packed and sent to Lily. After doing all this, Haru turned his gaze to the militia that had been brought back by the Angel Battle Team. There were a total of nine people there. All of them were Tier 1 and were very weak.
"Praise you, Lord Almighty!" The militiamen knelt on the ground and made a prayer gesture to Haru. They did not belong to the enemy's army, but Haru's army. Just like the nearly two thousand Gnomes in the underground world, they were both his army and his followers.
Their loyalty was less than 100 points but all of them exceeded 90 points. There was no chance of betrayal. This was the power of faith, plus the High-Level building Holy Temple, as well as the loyalty increasing effects of various castle buildings.
"My Lord~" Seraphina, the Angel of Love, flew over and said respectfully, "These believers have basic skills in processing animal corpses, logging, mining, and so on."
Haru nodded slightly. From the looks of it, these militias were not useless. At the very least, they could free him from the task of collecting and processing the corpses of monsters. In addition, he could send them out to spread his faith in the human empires of the Endless Continent.
The spread of the faith was very important to Haru. He would become a God with faith in the future. The more believers there were, the stronger his faith would be. The more faith he gained, the greater his power of faith would be.
When his followers spread throughout every corner of the Endless Continent, the gods of this world would be nothing to him. With a flip of his hand, he would suppress them! Haru thought for a moment and then moved a few houses to the edge of the territory, close to the wall, allowing these believers to live there.
'In the future, my Angel Castle will be divided into inner and outer cities. The inner city is where Angels and I live, while the outer city is where the believers of other races live. Besides, not every believer has the right to live in my Angel Castle. Belief is the key, followed by the race.' The believers were divided into ordinary believers, true believers, devout believers, fanatics, and saints.
To be able to live in Angel Castle, one had to be a devout believer or even a fanatic. In the future, he might even form various armies. These armies would be dominated by believers of other races. As for his angel army, it was his main force.
In an instant, Haru thought a lot. Only when he opened the [World Chat Channel] did he realize that there was a massive discussion going on among the Castle Lords there.
[Haru's troops are angels? How is this possible!]
[I don't believe it! Angels are legendary creatures of the Divine Realm. How could they become troops? If there was a troop like an angel, it would be hard for even a Top-Level troop to survive against them, not to mention ordinary Castle Lords like us.]
[Dragon, Gold Beamon, Elf, Lich, Death Knight… These top-ranked soldiers would not be able to challenge angels!]
[This must be a rumor! The Castle Lord who spoke up earlier had a very clear purpose. He was trying to provoke the Castle Lords to become enemies of Big Boss Haru!]
[Let me interrupt. That person is the Castle Lord that I had befriended not long ago. Not only did he send his words to the World Chat Channel, but he also sent them to me! I didn't believe it at first, but I had to believe it because he disappeared from my friend's list! I think everyone knows what this means!]
His friend disappeared. The only possibility was death. This was because if they were to delete a friend, they would receive a notification. The person who sent the message claimed that his castle was being attacked by a large group of angels. The coordinates were Dark Forest, and the Castle Lord behind the angels was Haru. Now, that person was dead. This indirectly confirmed his statement. There was at least 80% possibility that it was true. All of a sudden, the entire World Chat Channel fell silent.
