Chapter 145: Chapter 109: Terrifying Soaring Speed, Shocking Elder Wang

Shen Xing’s eyes went wide. He stared blankly at the snow-white image reflected in the lens, his mind reeling.

Across the way, Reina seemed to sense something and snapped her head up to look over.

Shen Xing quickly put away the telescope, a guilty look on his face as he gazed toward the distant city wall.

The Red-haired Mage frowned, a flicker of confusion on her face.

But she didn’t dwell on it. Instead, she continued to her usual corner for sword practice and began her daily morning training.

"Phew..."

Shen Xing let out a sigh of relief and muttered under his breath, "She... she didn’t see me, did she?"

He hadn’t expected that the newly activated ability of this Monocular Telescope could not only see through walls but also had X-ray vision!

That’s right, *that* kind of X-ray vision.

That flash of white just now had almost made him lose control.

’Is this a hidden ability of the equipment? It’s too evil!’

’If it fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.’

’As a righteous person, I can’t just stand by and do nothing. I must keep it safe.’

Grand Lord Shen thought with righteous conviction, then put the telescope back into his pack.

He clapped his hands in satisfaction, feeling quite pleased with himself.

’In just one night, I’ve gotten my hands on two more treasures, and both have extremely important abilities. This is great!’

’Good. Next, I’ll recruit another batch of soldiers, handle the territory’s affairs, and then get ready to keep climbing the leaderboards.’

He first wheeled himself over to the Inferior Demon Nest in the open area on the west side of the territory.

[Do you wish to consume Soul Stone x800, Vinar Silver Coins x800, and Hellfire Seed x16 to summon Inferior Demon (Elite★) x16?]

As he clicked confirm, the entire lava pool began to churn violently.

BLUB... BLUB...

Pitch-black heads poked out from the lava, followed by stooped figures with broken bat wings and horns sprouting from their foreheads.

[Ding! The number of ’Inferior Demon’ soldiers in your territory has exceeded 30. Activating 30-unit Bond: Initial Spirit +15.]

...

’Not bad. 15 points of Spiritual Power will give these Inferior Demons a nice boost to their Magic Damage.’

’A simultaneous blast from thirty Inferior Demons, combined with the Flame Aura, could definitely one-shot a Tier Two Extraordinary.’

Shen Xing ran a simulation in his mind and nodded in satisfaction. ’This will raise the territory’s combat power by another notch.’

Then, he had Great Demon and Two Demons lead the new Inferior Demons away to teach them the basic rules of the territory.

Next, he went to the Beastman Barracks and recruited twenty more Beastmen.

Eight Beastmen had died in the cave yesterday, which meant he could no longer activate the 100-unit Bond effect.

After doing all this, he went to the territory’s Food Processing Plant and put all the Moonlight Bread that Nimue had made into his pack.

[Obtained: Moonlight Silver Radiance Bread (Blue) x253]

[Obtained: Moonlight Silver Radiance Bread (Purple) x75]

Then he went to the territory’s Moon Well, collected the well water produced over the past few days, and prepared for a prolonged fight.

[Obtained: Moonlight Spring Water x6.7 liters]

...

With all preparations complete, Shen Xing shouted, "Everyone, fall in!"

At the Lord’s command, the entire territory sprang into action.

The Beastmen grabbed their War Axes, rose from the Campfires, and marched toward the open space at the village entrance.

The Skeleton Archers on the city walls also jumped down. A few of them twisted their leg bones on landing and fell into a heap of parts, then frantically scrambled to put themselves back together.

In less than five minutes, the territory’s two hundred-plus combat units had finished assembling.

Shen Xing wheeled himself forward, his gaze sweeping over the assembled warriors.

At this moment, the Beastman Legion led by Hellish Roar and Blood Roar stood at the very front. Each of them gripped their War Axe, the fire of battle burning in their eyes.

Hei led the fifteen Black Moon Knights, positioned on the flank, a dark moon slowly rotating behind them.

Black Arrow led over fifty Skeleton Archers arranged in three rows at the rear, quivers at their waists and longbows in hand.

Reina stood tall on the right flank, longsword in hand, with thirty-two Inferior Demons floating behind her.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the man in the wheelchair, awaiting his command.

Shen Xing first opened his Talent Interface and used [Sacrificial Evolution] on Hei.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Hei once again underwent a brand-new transformation.

Amidst the light, a dense aura of death quietly spread, engulfing the entire clearing in the blink of an eye.

But just as quickly, the aura of death receded, flowing back into his body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Hei’s form had also changed considerably once again.

His armor became more ancient in appearance, with several bone spikes sprouting from the pauldrons, as if it had been reforged by the Power of Death itself.

[Evolution Successful! Your soldier, ’Hei’, has successfully broken through to Boss★★★!]

[This Evolution: All Attributes +10%, Extra Agility +100]

[Black Moon Knight Captain’s Armor (Purple) → Armor of the Dark Moon of Death (Gold)]

[New Skill Activated: Black Moon Tide]

...

Once the evolution was complete, Shen Xing gave the order in a deep voice, "All units, follow your respective captains and advance to the northern mountains immediately."

"Reina, you will take all the Inferior Demons and 10 Beastmen and guard the territory."

The captains replied solemnly, "Yes, Boss/My Lord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the territory’s two hundred-plus combat units immediately split into two groups.

One group, a great army of Beastmen and skeletons, marched majestically into the Fog.

The other group returned to the city walls to defend the territory.

As the Lord, Shen Xing had originally planned to stay in the territory to properly plan its future development (i.e., slack off).

But then he thought of how highly Elder Wang regarded him, and how this was the first time his soldiers were moving out as a group, meaning their coordination might not be perfect.

’Oh, well. I suppose I’d better go with them myself.’
