"Ding! Battlefield cleanup complete. Obtained 1 Purple Barracks Building Card: Beastmen Centurion Camp; obtained 1 Purple Weapon: Centurion's Hammer; obtained 1 Purple Class Advancement Book: War Shaman Advancement Book; obtained 1 Purple Equipment: War Shaman Staff; obtained 185 Purple Source Crystal Shards; obtained 1,000 Broken Armor Shards; obtained 1 Steel Fang Tribe Map."
"Ding! You killed the Beastmen Commander and shaman of the Steel Fang Tribe. Steel Fang Tribe Reputation -1,000. Current status: Hated. The Steel Fang Tribe will take the initiative to attack you."
The continuous notifications from Lord's Mark rang out beside Fang Yuan's ears.
When the notification for the final piece of loot ended,
Fang Yuan was still in shock.
"I never expected a single centurion squad to reward me with so many good things!"
"The abundance of this haul far exceeded my expectations."
The Purple Barracks Building Card was within Fang Yuan's expectations.
Generally, killing a high-level unit had a high chance of dropping a Building Card.
A Purple Beastmen Barracks Building Card.
Beastmen belonged to the neutral chaotic faction. In theory, Fang Yuan, as a Human Lord, could use it.
However, compared to using it himself, exchanging this Building Card for another Purple Building would be more worthwhile.
After all, he already had quite a few soldiers under his command.
Especially after capturing the military station, he would have an endless supply of troops.
Moreover, they could be recruited without consuming resources.
By comparison, barracks that required resources to recruit soldiers could be chosen more selectively.
He could choose rarer and stronger soldiers.
This Purple Beastmen Centurion Camp, whose soldiers wielded Bloodthirsty Battle Qi, was decent.
But its overall functionality was somewhat lacking, and its combat power was only limited.
It was not suitable to keep. Exchanging it would be more worthwhile.
Thus, Fang Yuan was not particularly surprised by the appearance of this Building Card.
The Purple Equipment that came afterward was even less surprising.
High-level units could drop it when killed, so it was not especially rare.
What truly surprised him was the Advancement Book!
This thing was simply too shocking.
As its name implied, an Advancement Book was used for class advancement, specifically for Lords.
On the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, every Lord started out as a weakling.
They had virtually no combat power.
Their survival depended entirely on their Lord Core. As long as the Lord Core remained intact, a Lord could revive and be reborn in their territory even if they were killed and their ashes scattered, so long as they did not leave their territory.
But this only worked within their own territory.
Once they left their territory, they would truly die if killed.
Thus, Lords generally did not leave their territories unless they had gained the power to protect themselves.
For a Lord, the so-called power to protect oneself meant advancing to a class.
On the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, killing monsters had a certain chance of dropping an Advancement Book.
Advancement Books were the source of a Lord's power.
After completing an advancement, a Lord could level up and master magic, battle qi, or other forms of power.
However, Advancement Books were scarce and expensive on the market.
Many Lords could not complete a class advancement in their entire lives.
Most Lords only completed their class advancement after reaching a Level Eight or even Level Nine Main City.
Because Advancement Books were too rare and expensive, obtaining one required substantial financial resources and a little luck.
Fang Yuan had never imagined it!
He had actually obtained an Advancement Book while still at a Level Four Main City.
And it was a Purple Quality War Shaman Advancement Book.
He had even obtained a War Shaman's exclusive weapon along with it.
If he revealed this luck, he wondered how many Novice Lords would die of envy.
Fang Yuan picked up the Advancement Book and shaman staff to inspect them.
Name: War Shaman Advancement Book Quality: Purple Use: After use, allows a Lord to advance to the War Shaman class. Note: Lords of the Beastmen and orc factions can unlock their talents after advancing. Other races cannot unlock the class talents. Name: War Shaman Staff Quality: Purple Attributes: Blood Spear Technique (First-Order War Magic) Blood Shield Technique (First-Order Warrior Magic) Soul Chain (Second-Order War Magic) Note: Exclusive equipment of the War Shaman class. Cannot be used by those without the class.
From the Advancement Book, it appeared that the War Shaman was a signature class of the orc and Beastmen factions.
Fang Yuan could advance to it, but after doing so, he might not be able to bring out the class's full potential.
The War Shaman Staff was even more specifically designed for this class.
It came with three spells, all of them War Magic.
Fang Yuan had seen all three spells before. Blood Spear Technique dealt damage, while Blood Shield Technique offered protection.
Soul Chain should be a spell capable of distributing damage among multiple targets.
He just did not know whether the damage could truly be shared.
Lilith had instantly killed them all, so he could not make out the specific effects.
Regardless, the boost provided to soldiers by these three spells was obvious.
To be honest, Fang Yuan was quite tempted.
The War Shaman was a battlefield-support class.
It was fairly suitable for a Lord.
But he was not a Beastmen or orc Lord.
This class's talents required a specific race to unlock.
For a class, being unable to unlock its racial talents meant it was worthless.
He would not even be able to learn its more powerful skills.
That was equivalent to having his ceiling locked in place.
Fang Yuan was unwilling to see that happen.
Thus, although he was tempted,
after seeing that Lords of other races could not unlock the talents, he could only reluctantly give it up.
However, giving up did not mean he could not advance to the class.
On the Spatial Trading Market, some items were priceless.
They had to be traded for other items.
Advancement Books were one such item.
Especially since this was a Purple class book.
There was also the exclusive staff, as well as
the matching Beastmen barracks and the barracks leader's exclusive weapon.
The value of these four items together was definitely no less than that of an Orange class book.
He could bundle them together and exchange them as a rare Orange class book.
He would definitely be able to trade them for something good.
After all, Beastmen and orcs were powerful factions as well.
Among the countries of Blue Star, the nation with the most Lords joining this faction was the five Anglo-Saxon countries.
Among them, White Eagle Country had the most Lords.
Putting these four items up for exchange would definitely attract interested suckers.
No—
Experts!
At this thought, Fang Yuan quickly bundled the four items into a single item.
Then he promptly listed it on the Spatial Trading Market.
He also wrote down the trade requirements.
"Only exchanging for a Human Orange Advancement Book. Anything below Orange is out of the question!"
After listing it, Fang Yuan clapped his hands.
"Now we wait for the fish to bite."
"Come on, suckers!!!"
Fang Yuan then looked at the other pieces of loot.
There was no need to mention the Source Crystal Shards. The Purple Source Crystal Shards were excellent items.
Combined with the ones he already had, they would be enough to upgrade Lilith.
Next, he would have to deal with even stronger Beastmen tribes.
Every increase in Lilith's strength would increase the probability of wiping out the enemy.
Of course, that was assuming he did not use a forbidden spell.
Fang Yuan took out all the Source Crystal Shards and handed them to Lilith in one go.
"Start upgrading."
Lilith squeezed the huge Source Crystal.
A trace of delight appeared in her eyes.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
"Ding! Lilith's loyalty to you has increased by 5."
Hearing the notification, Fang Yuan muttered,
"So many increases of 5 loyalty points."
"Ugh, when will it reach 100?"
While Lilith upgraded, Fang Yuan looked at the final piece of loot.
The map leading to the military station.
"According to the map, it's about ten kilometers from my main city."
"Judging from the military station's area, there should be no fewer than 2,000 Beastmen stationed there."
"That is quite a lot!"
"With my current strength, winning would be easy, but wiping them all out would be difficult."
"But once these Beastmen slipped into the fog, they would launch endless attacks in the future."
"Especially since I still have to head to the Golden Flower Family's territory."
"That will inevitably be a hard battle. If these Beastmen harass my rear at will,"
"they will introduce far too many uncertainties to the battlefield."
"So it would be best to wipe them all out in one battle!"
"But that means I need to form an army of at least 2,000 soldiers."
"I don't have enough resources again!"
"Or should I just have Lilith cast a forbidden spell?"
"Then it would be settled once and for all!"
"But if I do that, I would reveal my trump card. A forbidden spell would make far too much noise."
"By then, the whole world would know."
"Who knows whether some unforeseen danger might appear?"
"No, no."
"A forbidden spell is the ultimate trump card. Who throws out a king bomb just because the other player played a three?!"
A trace of hesitation appeared in Fang Yuan's eyes.
"Forget it. If I can't wipe them all out, then so be it."
"I'll capture the military station first."
"We can deal with the rest later!"
"Besides, I still have 100,000 gold coins and can continue recruiting soldiers."
"Then I'll recall Christian."
"One Golden Hero, one Orange Hero, plus numerous Purple Units."
"With a good tactical plan, I might not be unable to wipe them all out!"
Fang Yuan's heart instantly filled with confidence.
He opened the barracks and was about to recruit soldiers to attack the military station.
At that moment,
Lord's Mark flashed with a message.
"Are you there, seller?"
"See if this Advancement Book is worth exchanging!"
