Commander and the Shadow of Sparta!

After a night of fierce battle, Huang Yu awoke to find the sun had climbed halfway across the sky.

Without a clock, Huang Yu could only roughly estimate the time to be around eight or nine in the morning.

As his consciousness cleared, a flood of information prompts washed over him.

[Unread Message: Spartan Training Camp has been upgraded to Tier 3...] [Unread Message: Hero unit Dilios has been leveled up to LV10...] [Unread Message: Your friend Lord Galo has sent you a message...]

After breakfast served by his butler and maids, Huang Yu walked out of the castle.

The castle now had three floors, with the main structure composed of four connected spired fortresses, and a flanking fortress on each side.

It covered an area of about ten thousand square meters, standing proudly atop the hillside, appearing majestic and imposing.

The territory outside the castle had also undergone earth-shattering changes.

Four wide dirt roads led out in four directions.

Houses were scattered neatly on both sides of the dirt roads.

Huang Yu counted a total of two hundred ordinary civilian buildings.

Near the castle, in the area Huang Yu had deliberately left for special buildings, the newly upgraded Tier 3 Spartan Training Camp was the most eye-catching structure.

The Tier 3 Spartan Training Camp, when viewed from above, was a 1:2 rectangular building, covering an area of approximately five thousand square meters.

White stone pillars, two meters in diameter and ten meters high, supported a double-sloped roof.

It featured rough yet artistic carvings.

Rooms such as halls, great halls, armories, and lounges were hidden within the three levels of stone pillars.

The very center of the entire building was occupied by a training sandpit.

Huang Yu brought up the information panel for the Spartan Training Camp.

[Spartan Training Camp (Extraordinary Grade Building)] [Level: Tier 3] [Note: To upgrade to Tier 4, 4th tier Spark, 70,000 Soul Crystals, 100,000 units of Wood, 150,000 units of Stone, 25,000 units of Fine Iron, and 100-1000 units of Special Building Materials are required.] [Function: Can train 20 territory inhabitants into the Extraordinary troop type - Spartan Warrior, with a 100% success rate each day (currently can only train territory inhabitants below LV29).] [For every 10 Soul Crystals paid, an additional Spartan Warrior (LV1) can be trained!] [Spartan troops trained have a 35% chance of acquiring a sub-profession, a 6% chance of training a Hero unit, a 0.1% chance of training a King Level unit, and a 0.01% chance of training a God Level unit!] [Within the training camp, Spartan Warriors can quickly recover their status, comprehend combat skills, improve their potential, and have a certain chance of breaking through to become Heroes!]

"The daily training slots have doubled!" "The probability of obtaining a sub-profession has increased by 5%, and the success rate for Hero units has reached 6%!" "Moreover, within the training camp, Spartan Warriors can learn skills, improve their potential, and even break through to become Hero units!"

Huang Yu was very satisfied with the upgrade of the Spartan Training Camp.

What he valued was not the additional 10 training slots per day.

But the greatly increased probability of Hero units appearing!

A Tier 3 territory could produce 100 territory inhabitants per day.

These one hundred people were now gathered at the foot of the hill, awaiting Huang Yu's orders.

Among the newly appeared hundred people, the vast majority of basic professions were still Farmers.

However, there were also two Village Chiefs, four maids, and 20 Gatherers.

Recalling the poor performance of the previous Village Chief, Huang Yu had lost interest in basic profession holders.

He immediately assigned 20 territory inhabitants to the Spartan Training Camp.

In less than ten minutes, the gates of the training camp opened.

20 Spartan Warriors filed out.

As the level increased, the efficiency of the Spartan Training Camp also improved.

Warriors at LB1, which previously took an hour, now only took a little over ten minutes.

Six of them possessed sub-professions such as Spartan Javelin Thrower and Longbowman.

Among them, two had acquired a new sub-profession—Spartan Shield Warrior.

However, Huang Yu still hadn't touched that 6% probability to obtain a Hero unit.

Huang Yu couldn't help but doubt his luck.

He already had 65 Spartan Warriors.

Yet, he had only obtained Dilios as a hero.

"A 1 in 20 chance, I refuse to believe I can't buy my way through this!"

Huang Yu gritted his teeth and spent 350 Soul Crystals, ordering another 35 territory inhabitants into the Spartan Training Camp.

He waited a few minutes in silence.

The 35 Spartan Warriors hadn't even emerged from the training camp.

But Huang Yu received another hero promotion notification!

[Spartan Training Camp: Your warrior Musa has completed training and has been promoted to a hero unit!]

"Musa has been promoted to a hero unit!"

Hearing this news suddenly, Huang Yu was so excited he almost lost his composure in front of his territory inhabitants.

A group of Spartan Warriors surrounded Musa and approached Huang Yu.

After saluting, Dilios congratulated Huang Yu:

"Lord, Musa has been promoted to a hero. The most valiant warriors under your command have gained another leader!"

"Good! Very good!"

Huang Yu clapped his hands and laughed heartily, opening Musa's information panel.

[Spartan Hero: Musa]

[Level: LV8]

[Loyalty: 100 (Fanatically Loyal)]

[Potential: Extraordinary (Can be upgraded to LV59)]

[Profession: Spartan Commander]

[Note: The Spartan Commander is the advanced profession of the Spartan Singer. Although this profession is not combat-oriented, it possesses powerful command abilities! Under the command of the Commander, the Spartan Warriors will become a cohesive unit, slaughtering enemies who stand in their way until they are routed! (Current command capacity: 80 people)]

[Skills: Spartan Battle Song, Spartan Battle Formation, Spartan Combat Skills...]

[Motto: When the songs begin, it's time for our enemies to be routed!]

"A command-type hero!"

Huang Yu grew even happier.

What he needed now was a hero who could unite the Spartan Warriors into a single force.

Although Musa's potential was lower than Dilios', the role he would play in the future would definitely not be inferior to Dilios'.

"Musa, with you, my warriors will become sharp blades that move at my command!"

Huang Yu said sincerely, patting Musa affectionately.

"Musa will never fail to meet the Lord's expectations!"

Hearing Huang Yu's words, Musa looked honored and respectfully saluted Huang Yu.

"Then what will the Lord's expectations of me be?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Dilios and Musa.

Clang!

Dilios drew his sword and turned around vigilantly, only to see a man dressed in Spartan attire standing behind him.

The man was slightly smaller than the other Spartan Warriors.

But the muscle lines on his exposed chest were perfect, seemingly containing the power and speed of a leopard.

Thinking about how this man had appeared behind him silently, Dilios felt a few drops of cold sweat break out on his forehead.

Although a large part of it was because he hadn't sensed any malice from the other party, the thought that the Lord was only two meters away from him made him feel a little scared.

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, the man smiled elegantly and bowed towards Huang Yu.

"Spartan Shadow Gannix, I pledge my loyalty to the Lord!"
