A Word About the Future (Continued)
"If we had catapults, we could bring them to Kalu's house and, together with the troops we brought here, we should be able to help her crush the neighboring lord."
Ye Qian had learned about that world; in fact, being able to become Transcendent of level 20 or above was already extremely impressive.
Especially recently, the white-haired little girl, Cannon Fodder No. 2, has been running Skeleton business in this world, going into the forest to kill monsters and earn money. Occasionally, she ventures into the human world and learns some things about this world.
Apprentice level corresponds to LV10 and below.
If you reach LV10, then you are a lower-level warrior.
LV15 is an Intermediate Rank warrior.
Reaching LV20 means you've touched the threshold for a breakthrough, making you an advanced warrior.
Next comes career advancement; after breaking through, you will become a Saint.
In other words, the Saint rank is already comparable to the Black Iron Rank in the real world.
The Knight of this world possess very unique powers, and their combat strength is said to be very strong.
Regardless, Ye Qian herself has reached this level.
"In theory, as long as I have enough troops, I can gradually take control of this world."
Believe it or not, she actually had that idea.
The Main World has so many Black Shield Heavy Infantry, as well as powerful Magic-Equipped Archer; they are all elite units.
However... the Kalu World is different from the Main World. Here, killing people won't drop money.
The only way is to attack human cities and plunder them.
Such things often happen among lords.
Kalu House doesn't have a good relationship with their neighbors.
No, strictly speaking, someone from a declining noble family like her wouldn't have good relationships with anyone around her.
Those great noble families have hundreds or even thousands of private armies, while the Kalu House has nothing. If they really want to cause trouble, they'll be wiped out.
"Anyway, it's normal for nobles to expand their power. Should I go to the school and contact Kalu, and tell her that I've recruited a large army to help her deal with the enemy?"
For Ye Qian, money means soldiers.
Black Shield Heavy Infantry requires an Intermediate Rank blacksmith, and that equipment is rare, so the troop growth rate is slow. But archers are different; they can be recruited by plundering money from here.
Moreover, among so many powerful individuals in the Kalu World, there must be Saint-level Mage, right? Ye Qian refused to believe that she couldn't obtain advanced magic from them.
"How come I feel like I've unknowingly become a demon king or invader from another world?"
Cannon Fodder No. 2 looked in the mirror at her adorable, dorky reflection that resembled Vier's, and fell into deep thought.
With such an adorable demonic fungus descending upon us, shouldn't the villains quickly defect to the enemy?
The Main World.
"I got it."
The blueprints for the catapult, and it's something that can be built in the Kalu World.
In addition, they also purchased blueprints for siege towers.
After two catapults were immediately produced, Ye Qian nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's go."
By summoning the Loli Dragon, communicating with the Dream World, and combining this with a powerful sacrificial ritual, the items were delivered to Cannon Fodder No. 2.
"Yay!"
The tiny Cannon Fodder No. 2 arrived in front of the large catapult, clearly extremely satisfied.
The area in front of Kalu's house looks calm now, but inside the house is filled with countless Skeleton.
The total number reached 600.
It's not that I don't want more, but I have to be careful every time I go back and forth through the forest to avoid attracting too much attention from adventurers.
Meanwhile, in the distant jungle, Ye Qian summoned 1,000 Magic-Equipped Archer through her Ye Qian body.
"Should I contact Kalu?"
Just as she was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from afar.
"Vier?"
He quickly turned around and saw a beautiful girl with long blue hair running towards him, panting.
"Huh?"
The blue-haired girl was stunned when she saw the tiny white creature in front of her.
"Who are you..."
She was momentarily stunned because the white-haired little girl in front of her looked so much like Vier, just like Vier when she was a child, small and very cute.
"I am Vier ... I used a shrinking spell."
The little white-haired girl stood with her hands on her hips, looking very serious.
"Oh my god."
Kalu was stunned.
A few seconds later...
"Wow, so cute, I'm going to die!"
She ran over immediately, hugged Vier's small body tightly, and planted a big kiss on her face.
"I'm sorry, Vier, I couldn't help it, you're just too cute."
Cannon Fodder No. 2 was completely numb. After being kissed many times, he could only wipe his cheeks helplessly when the strength holding him disappeared.
"Oh right, what are these two? Catapults?" Kalu only noticed the things behind her at this moment.
"Yes." Cannon Fodder No. 2 nodded decisively. "I've mobilized the underlings who used to serve me to help you take care of the surrounding lords."
After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and soon a large group of people ran out of the woods in the distance.
"1000 Magic-Equipped Archer, all truly elite, and you have 600 Skeleton in your house. If you combine them, can you defeat them? If not, I'll call more."
Countless people rushed over and quickly lined up in front of Kalu, who stared in disbelief.
"Lady Vier!"
With a whoosh, all the soldiers shouted in unison.
Kalu: "..."
After a full ten seconds of silence, Kalu swallowed hard and stretched out her hand with trembling hands. "Little... Little Vier, is this your little brother?"
"Not bad, I've recently regained some of my memories. Hmm... how should I put it, I actually have quite a few secrets, like this shrinking magic, which is a power I once possessed. I've just thought about it seriously, and if Kalu is willing, making you a powerful lord wouldn't be difficult at all."
Not just the lord, but even considering the same world, I'd like to make you my representative here... Cannon Fodder No. 2 thought to himself.
"Hmm..."
Kalu covered her mouth.
She is a Mage, or rather, a magical girl.
A fallen noble family, whose future could be described as bleak.
She never imagined that one day so many powerful warriors would stand before her to help her. They filled almost half the square, and it seemed that they would fight for her if she so desired.
Not only that, there are also a large number of Skeleton creatures.
The one who brought all this to light was Vier, the mysterious girl with long silver-white hair whom we met in the forest, who seemed to have lost her memories of the king.
Kalu looked intently at the girl.
After a long silence, she suddenly said nervously, "Vi, Vier... actually, you are a goddess descended to earth, right?"
Cannon Fodder No. 2: "?"
"My Goddess, why are you helping me like this? I..."
"Emmmm..."
Cannon Fodder No. 2 stroked his chin, thought for a long time, and then suddenly said very seriously, "Kalu, do you believe that there is a powerful force in this world that transcends worlds and time?"
"Huh?"
"I am one of them. I am here to help you, and I hope that you will gain great power, join us, and fight against the evil that threatens the existence of countless worlds."
Very suddenly, Cannon Fodder No. 2's expression became extremely serious, his tender little face became incredibly earnest, and he completely lost the playful feeling of a child.
Although what she said was unbelievable, given the incredible scene before her, Kalu had no choice but to believe its reality.
"Vier, are you actually a member of a very powerful organization? Or perhaps not even from this world?"
Yes, on this land, there isn't even one person with such pure silver-white hair, such perfect appearance, who could easily replicate the undead.
She is so young, and she even has the magic to shrink. It seems not impossible that such a girl comes from another world.
"Yes, my organization is great, and actually it doesn't matter whether Kalu joins or not, because there are indeed countless dangers outside the world that could invade at any time. So no matter what, there may be evil forces invading in the future, and by uniting with us, we can take the initiative to strike and annihilate evil. Moreover... I have a little connection with the leader of this great force, that great Miss Dusk, the true god."
Proudly raising its head, Cannon Fodder No. 2 snorted.
The broken relationship is actually due to the same person.
Pi's evil power invaded, and this evil power was herself.
Of course, Cannon Fodder No. 2 wasn't entirely wrong. Player System, for example, can be seen as dangerous forces invading other worlds.
"If this is true, it seems like it wouldn't be bad for me to join."
There was no scene where a protagonist hesitated after being invited by a mysterious force, or offered any grand principles; Kalu was quite decisive, which I thought was good.
Mainly, she really liked Vier and felt that this girl would be a great partner.
Although we've only known each other for a short time, Vier's consistently gentle tone and endearing personality make her impossible to dislike.
"Hmm, it seems you agree."
Cannon Fodder No. 2 turned his head and looked at the square. At this time, all the Skeleton and Elite Magic-Equipped Archer had gathered.
"Kalu, tell me the enemy's location, then lead your troops straight there. Oh, and... don't be merciful, death is a normal occurrence in war."
"I..."
Kalu hesitated for a moment, but she seemed to make up her mind quickly and nodded.
"It seems I don't need to say anything more to you. As long as we don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, then this is what the battle is all about. If we can end this era in our hands and bring peace to the future, then it's all worth it."
Cannon Fodder No. 2 didn't know if her terrible words would affect the other party, but Kalu had no aversion to attacking other lords.
This girl is the kind of person who is quite naive.
But she wouldn't show mercy to her enemies, just like when dealing with the attacking bandits.
"You can give me directions," said the Cannon Fodder No. 2 little girl.
"Yes, as long as we keep heading in this direction, we won't be there for long. But these 1,000 people look really impressive; I feel like they could conquer a noble's fortress or city."
"Then let's attack fortresses and cities, preferably ones with more gold and silver, as these metals can be used to exchange for more warriors from Dusk."
"Money for warriors? Are they mercenaries?" Kalu was clearly puzzled by the summoning.
However, Cannon Fodder No. 2 didn't want to explain further.
"Pretty much, and they are resurrected heroic spirits, meaning they left this world a long time ago but were resurrected."
Kalu: "..."
This is a bit beyond my comprehension.
Following Kalu's directions, the troops passed through villages and advanced more than 20 kilometers amidst the shocked and puzzled gazes of some civilians.
Then...
A place resembling the Kalu House manor came into view.
However, compared to Kalu's house, this place is much larger, and there are hundreds of soldiers training in the square.
In the distance, commoners (or perhaps slaves) were working in the fields, a scene of prosperity.
Suddenly, upon seeing a large number of regular troops and countless Skeleton, the soldiers who were training stopped and stared at them in astonishment.
