When Fang Yuan was on Earth.

He had read a book that introduced heroes in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

The very first page of the book posed a question.

What is the most important attribute for a hero?

At that moment, when Fang Yuan saw the question, the answer that popped into his mind was spell power, attack power, and then he changed it to skills.

These were the most crucial attributes determining a hero's strength.

But after Fang Yuan finished the book.

He realized he was wrong.

In the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, for a Lord!

There was only one attribute that needed constant attention.

That attribute was loyalty!

Because once loyalty drops, a hero's initiative would be poor.

When executing missions, they would lead their subordinate soldiers into a trap even if they knew it was one.

And if it dropped below thirty points, they would harbor intentions of betrayal.

This was extremely fatal for a Lord.

But conversely, high loyalty could ensure a hero's initiative and independent decision-making.

They would proactively assess dangers encountered in the wild and choose the optimal solution.

When the Lord is in danger, they would actively step forward to protect them.

Once loyalty reaches 90 points, they would even voluntarily share the knowledge they possessed.

Fang Yuan could see this from Lilith's performance.

And if loyalty reached 100 points, they would obey the Lord's commands without question.

Even if the Lord ordered them to die, they would go without hesitation.

However, such commands would have endless repercussions after use.

If a hero ordered to die did not die, their maximum loyalty would be halved afterward.

And recovering the reduced loyalty would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Almost no Lord dared to do this.

Therefore, in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, Lords valued a hero's loyalty far more than attributes like skills or spell power.

Many Lords, to ensure their heroes' loyalty remained above 80.

Worked harder than fawning over a goddess.

Yet, even so, faction mismatches or various events would often cause a hero's loyalty to decrease.

So, many Lords began researching methods to lock a hero's loyalty.

The final research conclusion was that there was only one possibility.

That was a very mystical "heart-to-heart" connection.

In simple terms, treat them as real people and use love to convert them.

Although it was very mystical and the success rate was very low.

It was often successful.

Of course, this usually required immense material and financial resources to succeed.

And now!

Fang Yuan looked at Brainy, the Bishop of the Demon Cult, kneeling before him.

"If those Lords knew that I actually mastered a second method to lock a hero's loyalty."

"And it's such a simple method."

"They would probably go crazy."

"Speaking of which, it was all due to a fortunate coincidence."

"It's almost impossible for other Lords to replicate."

"After all, you first need a high-level Curio with a story, and this Curio then recruits heroes of the same race but different factions."

"And it just so happens that I also know some of the hero's deeds."

"Only when all these conditions are met is it possible to trigger it."

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh again at his truly good luck.

And at this moment.

Brainy, the Abyssal Bishop, who had been retrieved from the river of time by the power of the Civilization Spark and had completed his physical condensation, suddenly spoke.

"Lord."

"I can sense the scent of my Cult's cavalry to the northeast!"

Fang Yuan was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

"You can sense that from this far away?"

Brainy nodded and said.

"I am a Bishop of the Spirit Flame Cult, and I have a strong psychic connection with my followers."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Is this the tacit understanding between an Orange hero and their army?"

"Or perhaps a skill?"

"Right, I haven't checked Brainy's skills yet."

Fang Yuan gazed at the Abyssal Bishop, and with a thought.

He materialized Brainy's attribute panel through the Lord's Mark.

[Name]: Abyssal Bishop Brainy

[Level]: LV1 (0/7000)

[Quality]: Orange

[Potential]: One Star

[Carried Curio]: Demon Bishop's Lance

[Attack Power]: 700

[Health]: 7000

[Stamina]: 7000

[Loyalty]: 100 (Infinite loyalty to you, will never betray.)

[Skills]: Grasp of Demonic Flames, Demonic Contract, Demonic Flame Aura, Soul Rebirth.

Fang Yuan revealed a slight surprise after seeing Brainy's attribute panel.

"The stats aren't that high."

However, upon seeing the loyalty, Fang Yuan understood.

He muttered to himself, "There's always a trade-off."

He then looked at Brainy's skills.

There were only four skills, which was within expectations.

Most Orange heroes had this number.

After all, one couldn't expect every hero to be like Christian, a mutated Orange Unit with five initial skills.

However, judging by the specific content of the skills, Brainy's skills were quite good.

Grasp of Demonic Flames was a skill that combined damage and control.

It could deal Demonic Flame damage to up to ten targets, and units caught in its grasp would have their actions restricted.

Demonic Contract allowed him to sense other units that had signed the same contract.

When Brainy acted together with these units, he could gain significant attribute bonuses.

Demonic Flame Aura was a hybrid skill that increased defense, shields, magic resistance, and dealt Demonic Flame damage to targets.

The last skill, Soul Rebirth, was quite overpowered.

If a unit that had signed a Demonic Contract died nearby.

Brainy could use this skill to instantly revive them for fifteen minutes.

During these fifteen minutes, the revived unit would receive a tenfold attribute bonus.

This tenfold bonus might not seem like much.

But as Brainy leveled up, this attribute bonus would increase further.

If it reached tenfold!

Then before a battle, one could simply employ a sacrificial strategy.

Send the Demon Knight Order to their deaths, then revive them!

Units with tenfold attributes and full health and mana would appear on the battlefield.

Fang Yuan imagined that scene.

"Too beautiful!"

"Can't bear to look!"

After reviewing Brainy's skills, Fang Yuan had already solidified one thought.

"Her!"

"She's the commander of the Valley Garrison!"

"With Brainy in charge, and supported by the Demon Bishop cavalry regiment."

"There's an impregnable military territory to the northeast!"

"And it's also a forward base for me to continue expanding northeast."

With that in mind, Fang Yuan immediately issued an order to Brainy.

"Brainy, I appoint you as the military commander of the Valley Garrison in the northeast direction."

"You will depart immediately to take up your post!"

Brainy struck his chest with his hand.

"I swear to defend the territory for the Lord with my life."

Then, he mounted his warhorse and left the Main City.

As he watched Brainy depart, Fang Yuan began to plan his next move.

"A single fixed garrison of the Golden Flower Family yields such great profit."

"Continuing northeast to find the Golden Flower Family's expansion territory."

"Wouldn't the profit be even greater~"

Fang Yuan's heart immediately surged with excitement.

With a thought, he appeared in the Lord's Hall.

"Someone, find Lilith."

"We need to discuss the next expansion plan."

Just as he issued the command, A series of urgent messages arrived through the Lord's Mark.

Fang Yuan opened it.

His face immediately lit up with joy.

"The long-awaited fat sheep has come to us!!!"
