The sky had just begun to break.
The morning breeze still carried a hint of coolness.
Huang Yu donned the cloak meticulously crafted by the territory's tailor and stepped out of the castle.
The blacksmiths at the Blue Mountain Workshop were even more diligent than he was.
The materials gathered last night had all been transported into the Blue Mountain Workshop to be used for manufacturing equipment.
The dense clanging of iron being hammered was, to Huang Yu's ears, quite pleasant.
Because it symbolized freshly forged equipment, one piece after another.
Dilios, along with ten Spartan Warriors, was limbering up in the small square outside the castle, just as he had yesterday.
Ten newly appeared territory inhabitants waited quietly in front of the castle, awaiting his arrangements.
Huang Yu brought up their information panels.
Six farmers, three gatherers... a Village Chief?
Were there new basic class professionals?
Huang Yu looked towards the elderly territory inhabitant.
When he first saw him, Huang Yu had felt a bit strange.
Why was there an old man among the territory inhabitants who appeared today?
He hadn't expected his basic profession to be Village Chief.
[Territory Inhabitant #133]
[Level: LV1]
[Loyalty: 100 (Unwavering Loyalty)]
[Potential: Black Iron (Can only level up to LV9)]
[Basic Profession: Village Chief]
[Introduction: With extensive experience, the Village Chief can lead ordinary territory inhabitants in tasks such as farming, chopping wood, mining stone, and raising livestock...]
Not bad.
It seemed someone could help me share the burden of arranging the ordinary territory inhabitants' work.
Huang Yu nodded, casting a kind smile at the Village Chief.
The Village Chief was immediately flattered.
His hunched back bent even lower, his face filled with honor.
"No need to be reserved."
Huang Yu patted the Village Chief's shoulder and said with a smile, "From now on, the ordinary territory inhabitants will be yours to manage. If you have any questions or needs, feel free to ask me!"
"Lord, please rest assured!"
The Village Chief replied respectfully, "I will work with everyone to build your territory into a paradise!"
A paradise?
Huang Yu remained noncommittal.
After dismissing the Village Chief, he selected thirty territory inhabitants and assigned them to the Spartan Training Camp.
As the thirty ordinary territory inhabitants entered the Spartan Training Camp, Huang Yu's account was debited 300 Soul Crystals.
The Spartan Training Camp was now a Tier 2 building.
It could train 10 Spartan Warriors for free each day.
Each additional training slot required a separate payment of 10 Soul Crystals.
The reason Huang Yu paid 300 Soul Crystals
was that ten of the territory inhabitants were already LV2.
Training LV2 territory inhabitants into Spartan Warriors required twice the Soul Crystals as training LV1 ones!
The trained Spartan Warriors would retain their pre-training levels.
His Soul Crystal count was currently quite ample.
Huang Yu had considered training more Spartan Warriors.
But after careful consideration, he decided to postpone that plan for now.
The territory's current size was just too small.
The nearby activity area, for forty Spartan Warriors, was already nearing capacity.
Any more would easily lead to a situation where there were too many people and not enough resources.
Without hero units to lead them and a reliable method for information transmission, Huang Yu didn't feel comfortable letting the Spartan Warriors venture into other regions.
While Spartan Warriors were strong, they weren't invincible.
This was a world with extraordinary powers.
The difference in strength between combat units with different potentials and levels was very obvious.
A short while later.
The gates of the Spartan Training Camp opened automatically.
Thirty Spartan Warriors, with physiques like bodybuilders, filed out.
They lined up in three rows before Huang Yu.
Pounding their developed pectoral muscles, they saluted him.
"Sparta!"
Of the thirty Spartan Warriors, ten had sub-professions.
Six Spartan Javelin Throwers, three Spartan Longbowmen...
And one was even a Spartan Singer?
Looking at that Spartan Singer, with his developed muscles and rugged appearance... Huang Yu couldn't help but feel that "singer" wasn't quite the right description.
[Spartan Warrior: Musa]
[Level: LV2]
[Loyalty: 100 (Fanatically Loyal)]
[Potential: Diamond (Upgradeable to LV49)]
[Profession: Infantry Warrior]
[Skills: Spartan Combat Skills, Spartan Battle Formation, Spartan Battle Song...]
[Sub-Profession: Spartan Singer]
[Motto: When the song begins, it's time for our enemies to drop their armor and flee!]
Spartan Battle Song.
He even had a dedicated skill!
Huang Yu specifically tapped to bring up the information for the "Spartan Battle Song" skill.
[Spartan Battle Song (Fine Grade Skill)]
[Musa's song will boost accompanying Spartan Warriors, allowing them to coordinate more seamlessly to a passionate rhythm!]
It was even a Fine Grade skill!
Was this the legendary man who brought his own background music to battle?
Huang Yu was very curious and specifically ordered Musa to demonstrate.
Musa picked up a longsword and a shield.
His expression suddenly turned fierce.
It was as if a large group of enemies stood before him.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
He struck the shield with the longsword, again and again.
Musa made an attacking motion and suddenly shouted:
"Hoo-ha!"
A powerful roar.
The sound wasn't pleasant, but it made one's spirit jolt.
The ordinary territory inhabitants nearby seemed startled.
They stood frozen in place, not even realizing they had dropped their hoes.
The state of the other Spartan Warriors was the complete opposite.
They picked up the weapons already prepared beside them, with Dilios at the head, and stood in a simple triangular formation.
"Urrakulaban..."
A string of unintelligible characters was uttered word by word from Musa's mouth.
Although it sounded rhythmic.
Huang Yu couldn't connect it to a song in any way.
In his ears, it sounded more like shouting commands.
Just like "one-two-one," "at ease," "attention."
To Musa's singing.
The thirty-eight Spartan Warriors moved as one.
Thrusting spears and drawing swords with neat, rhythmic precision.
Their formation changes were also very fluid.
Each Spartan Warrior was like a cog, meshing with the others to form a whole.
And as Musa's rhythm quickened.
The Spartan Warriors' movements also became more swift.
Although it looked a bit flashy.
Huang Yu keenly observed.
Within the dazzling formations, countless killing intents were hidden.
At this moment, if a group of enemies were to charge at the Spartan Warriors.
They would be instantly torn to shreds by the offensive of the Spartan formation!
Musa's Spartan Battle Song only lasted for a short while.
When the singing stopped, the Spartan Warriors also ceased their fluid attacks.
Clap, clap, clap!
Huang Yu applauded and said to Musa with satisfaction:
"Good job, Musa. Under your battle song, the Spartan Warriors will be unstoppable!"
Huang Yu had been disappointed that no hero units had appeared with the addition of thirty warriors.
Now, that regret was greatly reduced by Musa's appearance.
Huang Yu couldn't imagine how terrifying Spartan Warriors would be, fighting with tacit coordination in battle songs after going berserk!
