Reward Mission

Archer Captain Ina coldly looked at the corpse before her. It was a level-six Black-Winged White Tiger, one of the top magical beasts on Spirit Island. Though it could not compare to the three level-seven magical beasts, such as the Tong Ape and the Great Golden Roc, it was still a lord in its own right and had never been subordinate to any of those level-seven magical beasts.

After that war, the forces of the Great Golden Roc and the other level-seven magical beasts had suffered devastating losses. As a result, the remaining peak level-six magical beasts had begun to stir. Even ordinary magical beasts might not be willing to submit to a beast of another species, let alone level-six magical beasts, which already possessed a certain degree of intelligence and would be even less willing to join the ranks of other powerful magical beasts.

The Black-Winged White Tiger before her belonged to that group. However, to Archer Captain Ina, all that was meaningless now. According to Master Huang Long's orders, every magical beast on Spirit Island, no matter who it was, had to be killed to gain enough experience to expand the army and strengthen its combat power.

This killed two birds with one stone. Huang Long had no reason not to do it. Though it was somewhat cruel and cold-blooded, in order to ensure that this base would not suffer attacks or unrest, no uncertain factors could be left behind.

Suddenly, a sharp gleam flashed through Archer Captain Ina's eyes. The powerful senses of a level-seven expert immediately detected an unusual sensation entering her mind.

"What was that?" A trace of vigilance flashed through Archer Captain Ina's eyes. She immediately went on guard, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings like that of a hawk.

"Not bad, Ina. You can hear my footsteps now." A light chuckle came from nearby, instantly putting Archer Captain Ina at ease as the vigilance on her face faded.

"Lord Yudian, why are you here?" Archer Captain Ina's expression softened as she watched Demon Hunter Yudian slowly emerge from the depths of the forest, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"It isn't just Yudian. I'm here too. How could you not notice me?" Huang Long slowly walked out as well, unable to resist teasing her when he saw her expression.

At his words, a blush appeared on Archer Captain Ina's face. However, with the sunlight casting a faint shadow over her, almost no one present noticed it. Of course, Huang Long did, since he knew Ina's feelings and had been watching her all along.

Just as Huang Long was about to tease Ina again, the voice of the Warcraft Elf System rang in his ears.

Conditions met. Congratulations, Host. Hidden mission triggered—Conquer the Entire Island. The player must subdue all magical beasts and occupy the entire island within ten days. Upon completion, two skills may be randomly drawn. No penalty for mission failure.

Hearing the words of the Warcraft Elf System, Huang Long was delighted. Though he did not understand why the system had issued such a mission under these circumstances, it was undoubtedly exactly what he wanted. Even without this mission from the Warcraft Elf System, Huang Long would have taken action himself and occupied the entire island.

However, since this decision had received the Warcraft Elf System's approval, it was naturally a great thing. He could obtain two powerful magical beast skills for free. Opportunities like this were not easy to come by.

According to the Warcraft Elf System, it seemed he would need ten days to conquer the entire island. But in his view, two days would be enough.

A trace of disdain flashed through Huang Long's eyes. He clearly scorned the Warcraft Elf System's overly conservative estimate.

But there was no need to think about anything else for now. The most important thing was to seize this opportunity and wipe out all the magical beasts on the island. As for everything else, it had nothing to do with him.

"So, Ina, how many areas have yet to be cleared?" Huang Long asked with a smile. He no longer teased Archer Captain Ina, allowing her to relax as well.

"Our archer unit spent a full ten hours eliminating a large number of magical beasts. We have conquered roughly seventy percent of the island. Some of the remaining areas have yet to be explored, and even the Great Golden Roc was not very familiar with them." Archer Captain Ina calmly replied after looking over the map she carried with her.

"Your efficiency is quite good. Conquering so much land in such a short time was no easy feat. You have all worked hard." A hint of apology appeared on Huang Long's face. Looking at the bloodstains covering the members of the archer unit, he could not help but sigh. Although they were puppets, that did not mean they lacked thoughts. Huang Long was somewhat moved.

"Captain, the members are ready. Can we depart?" A young female archer ran over, looking solemnly at Archer Captain Ina as she called out.

"Farsna, this is our master. Now that he is here, the master will give the orders," Archer Captain Ina said coldly as she looked at the female elf named Farsna. She then turned her gaze toward Huang Long. "This elf is Farsna, an elven archer who advanced to level six together with Lucy. In addition, during our campaigns, three people in total advanced to level six, while all the others have become powerful level-five warriors. Report complete. Please give your orders, Master."

"Return to formation," Huang Long said softly.

Archer Captain Ina immediately received the order and returned to the troops. The current lineup truly delighted Huang Long: three experts comparable to level-seven powerhouses, five level-six experts, and more than a dozen level-five experts. On top of that, the number of Huntresses was continuously growing, while another Ancient of War would steadily produce archers in the future. Their numbers would surely rise rapidly, until they formed a sea of people.

However, it was still too early to think about that. Compared with the powers on the continent, he was still insignificant. He was clearly not even a match for the weakest races.

According to the records in the books, the strongest races on the continent had level-ten experts. First-rate races possessed more than a dozen level-nine experts, second-rate races needed at least one level-nine expert, and even unranked races required at least one level-eight expert. The Night Elf faction had developed for far too short a time, so whether in population or top-tier strength, the gap was simply enormous.

However, Huang Long believed that through the efforts of himself and all the heroes, the Night Elf faction under his leadership would certainly display its most glorious era on this continent.

And now, this reward mission issued by the Warcraft Elf System was the first step toward his success. This step had to succeed!
