A well-coordinated and relentless campaign unfolded over the course of two days, as the various units embarked on a series of meticulously planned hunting expeditions. The morning hours saw the Silver Units - comprising the Silver Steel, Silver Blade, Silver Eagle, and Silver Starlight units - depart on their missions, expertly targeting and eliminating monster gathering areas with precision and finesse. Upon their return, laden with the spoils of battle, including corpses and treasure chests, the stage was set for the next wave of hunters.
As the sun reached its zenith, the Bronze Units - consisting of the Bronze Steel, Bronze Blade, Bronze Eagle, and Bronze Starlight units - set out on their own hunting excursions, displaying equal prowess and dedication to the task at hand. Their efforts yielded a substantial haul, further augmenting the growing collection of resources and treasure.
As the day drew to a close, the evening hours witnessed the departure of the most elite units - the Silver Thunder Unit, Arcane Circle Unit, Mystic Circle Unit, and Paragon Guardian. These units, comprised of the most skilled and powerful warriors, tackled the most formidable foes, bringing back an impressive array of spoils to swell the treasure trove.
This carefully orchestrated rotation of units ensured a continuous and unrelenting assault on the monster gathering areas, with each unit playing a vital role in the larger strategy. Over the two-day period, the cumulative effect of these efforts was nothing short of remarkable, with the units collectively amassing a vast and valuable collection of resources and treasure.
As the soldiers continued their relentless hunting expeditions, some of them began to reap the rewards of their hard work and dedication. With each victory, they gained experience points that allowed them to level up, and some even found themselves eligible to ascend to the upper ranks of their respective units. This influx of new talent and the growth of existing soldiers only served to strengthen the units, making them an even more formidable force on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the heroes were also accumulating experience points, although at a slower pace. While they were gaining valuable experience, it was clear that they still had a way to go before they could reach the next tier. The gap between their current level and the next milestone was still significant, and it would take continued effort and dedication to bridge that gap. Nonetheless, the heroes remained focused and driven.
After two days of relentless hunting, Arthur's inventory was overflowing with the spoils of war. A staggering 15,000 goblin corpses lay testament to the efficiency and prowess of his units. Alongside the gruesome yet valuable pile of corpses, Arthur's treasure chest collection had grown significantly. He now possessed 10 black rank treasure chests, 5 bronze rank treasure chests, 4 silver rank treasure chests, and a remarkable 3 gold rank treasure chests.
As he gazed upon his accumulated wealth, Arthur's excitement was palpable. "The loot was really good," he exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He envisioned the potential rewards that awaited him, his mind racing with possibilities.
"I can get more soldier cards and maybe even more hero cards," he mused, his enthusiasm growing with each passing moment. The prospect of expanding his forces and adding new heroes to his roster was a tantalizing one, and Arthur couldn't wait to open the treasure chests and see what lay within.
As Arthur systematically opened the treasure chests, a series of system prompts flashed before his eyes, detailing the extensive loot he had acquired. Upon concluding the final chest, he stood in awe, overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of his windfall. The spoils of war included:
1. 50,000 bronze rank soldier cards.
2. 25,000 bronze rank archer cards.
3. 10,000 silver rank soldier cards.
4. 10,000 silver rank archer cards.
5. 10,000 silver rank cavalry cards.
6. 10,000 silver rank assassin cards.
7. 10,000 silver rank guardian cards.
8. 5000 gold rank healer cards.
9. 10000 silver rank mage cards.
In addition to the soldier cards, Arthur received:
9. 500,000 resources (wood, stone, iron, and food) to fuel his territory's growth.
10. 100,000 gold, stardust, black iron, mithril, and monster stone, valuable materials for crafting and research.
11. 10,000 bronze rank swords, a substantial cache of arms for his troops.
12. 10,000 bronze rank bows, further equipping his archers.
13. 6,000 silver rank armors, high-quality protection for his elite soldiers.
14. 4,000 silver rank magic staffs, potent magical tools.
15. 5,000 silver rank holy shields, sacred defenses for his most trusted warriors.
Arthur's astonishment turned to euphoria as he beheld the rare and precious items:
16. 1 Battle God Formation (platinum).
17. 1 Skill Upgrade Scroll (gold).
18. Soldiers' Training Manual (gold), a valuable resource for honing his troops' skills.
19. 6 gold rank hero cards.
20. 1 platinum rank hero card.
Furthermore, Arthur's territory would benefit from:
21. Platinum rank Territory Wall Blueprint, a design for an impregnable defense.
22. World Map (platinum), a detailed chart of the surrounding lands.
23. Alchemy Room Blueprint.
Arthur's eyes widened in unbridled joy, his voice filled with wonder. "This is so much loot... there are so many things." He stood frozen, basking in the glory of his good fortune, his mind racing with the endless possibilities these new resources presented.
Arthur's eyes widened as he examined the description of the Battle God Formation, a platinum-ranked treasure he had never seen before.
*Name:* Battle God Formation
*Rank:* Platinum
*Description:* This powerful formation can be used to train a commander to harness the collective power and mana of all soldiers under their command. By channeling this energy, the commander can tap into unimaginable powers, effectively becoming a battle god.
*Effect Duration:* The duration of the skill's effect is directly tied to the number of soldiers under the commander's command and their respective ranks. The more soldiers and the higher their ranks, the longer and more potent the effect will be.
*Side Effects:*
1. *Limited Usage:* This skill can only be used once a month, making it a strategic and carefully considered decision.
2. *Hidden Damage:* Overextending the use of this skill may result in unforeseen damage to the commander.
3. *Post-Skill Coma:* After the skill's effect ends, the commander will enter a coma-like state for 1 day, rendering them unable to participate in battles.
4. *Mana Drain:* The soldiers under the commander's command will lose 5% of their mana reserves when this skill is used.
*Note:* The effectiveness of the Battle God Formation is directly proportional to the number of soldiers under the commander's command and their respective ranks. The more soldiers and the higher their ranks, the more powerful the commander will become. Arthur's mind was already racing with the possibilities of how he could utilize this powerful skill.
"This skill is incredibly overpowered," Arthur exclaimed, barely containing his excitement. "And the best part is that it can be taught to all commanders, not just a select few." His eyes sparkled with anticipation as he envisioned the potential of his army with this skill. "Just imagine what this could do for our military strength," he thought to himself, already planning how to integrate the Battle God Formation into his battle strategy. Arthur's enthusiasm was palpable, and he couldn't wait to see the impact this skill would have on his forces.
Arthur's excitement continued as he examined the next two items.
"Skill Upgrade Scroll*
Rank:* Gold
Description:* This scroll can be used to upgrade a single skill to the next rank. However, it can only be used on skills up to the Silver rank; skills of higher ranks cannot be upgraded with this scroll."
Arthur's mind began to consider which skill would be the best candidate for the upgrade.
"I will think about it later." He said while looking at the other items.
"Soldiers' Training Manual
Description:* This basic manual provides a foundational guide for training soldiers. By using this manual, soldiers can learn the skills of Mana Slash, Rampage, and Monster Hunter. These skills will enable them to work more cohesively as a team and increase their trust in one another, ultimately making them a more formidable force on the battlefield."
Arthur envisioned the potential benefits of having his soldiers trained in these skills, and he looked forward to seeing the impact it would have on their performance.
Arthur's eyes lit up as he examined the Territory Wall Blueprint.
*Name:* Territory Wall Blueprint
*Rank:* Platinum
*Description:* This blueprint can be used to construct a strong wall.
Given its platinum rank, Arthur knew that the wall would be exceptionally sturdy and spacious, making it an ideal defensive structure. "A wall of this caliber will provide unparalleled protection for my territory," he thought, his excitement growing at the prospect of fortifying his domain.
Next, he turned his attention to the World Map.
*Name:* World Map
*Rank:* Platinum
*Description:* This map contains a detailed layout of the surroundings.
However, Arthur noted that it only displayed the map of the surroundings of his territory, not the entirety of the world, this map doesn't even shows which continent he was in. "While it doesn't show the entire world, having a map of my surroundings is still invaluable," he said. "At the very least, I'll have a better understanding of my territory's location and potential dangers."
Arthur's curiosity was piqued as he pondered the implications of the map's limitations. "The fact that even the platinum-tier map doesn't show the whole world suggests that the world is extremely vast and expansive," he mused. "It's intriguing to think about the sheer scale of this world and the secrets it might hold."
Arthur's eyes sparkled with interest as he examined the final item.
*Name:* Alchemy Room Blueprint
*Description:* This blueprint can be used to construct an alchemy room, a specialized facility designed to enhance the work of alchemists. With this room, they will be able to craft potions and other concoctions more efficiently, while also receiving boosts to their creations.
Arthur envisioned the potential benefits of having a dedicated alchemy room, including improved potion quality and increased productivity.
Arthur's enthusiasm was tempered by the realization that he didn't currently have any alchemists on his team. "It's clear that alchemy is a rare profession," he said with a sigh. However, he remained optimistic, thinking ahead to the future. "I'll instruct Robin to construct the alchemy room, and when I do recruit alchemists, they'll be able to hit the ground running." He nodded to himself, already planning the next steps.
"Having the infrastructure in place will give me a head start."
