Chess Pieces and Sacrificial Pawns

Pavier Plateau, a hidden valley.

Pang Bo clutched his chest, his face still somewhat pale. The backlash from the Master-Servant Contract was still affecting his condition.

"With my current state, keeping a close watch on that Earth Native will probably be difficult. I can only rely on the followers Prince Gordon left behind. They never signed Master-Servant Contracts directly with Prince Gordon, so they weren't affected by the backlash."

The Sea Race maintained a strict hierarchy. Every Sea Prince and the great generals under their command would sign Master-Servant Contracts.

When a Sea Prince died, the generals serving as their servants would suffer severe injuries, just like Pang Bo.

However, there was a limit to how many Master-Servant Contracts one could sign. Every follower-servant occupied part of the master's Spirit Energy limit! As a close-range physical class, Gordon's Spirit Energy limit was not especially important, but that also meant his mental attributes were not particularly high.

Gordon had only four Awakened servants in total.

Therefore, Gordon had only signed contracts with four servant leaders.

Each servant leader would then sign contracts with several mid-level servants; beneath those mid-level servants were the low-level cannon fodder servants.

Of course, even the low-level cannon fodder servants were High-Level Awakened with Hero Templates. Their strength was in no way inferior to that of famous Earth Class A League players.

This was the foundation of Stellan Star as a Tier 2 Evolutionary Planet. Its overall strength far surpassed Earth's.

Pang Bo had ordered his mid-level servants, along with the low-level servants under their command, to go out and gather intelligence.

Unfortunately, during the first battle at Skalasst Peak, the servants under Pang Bo had suffered devastating casualties and been wiped out by the Hua Xia Battle Group. Only two or three stragglers remained now.
