Elves, Mermaids
Almost all the metrics have improved.
Especially environmental values.
It increased by 10 points in one go.
It reached -80 points.
Although it is still a negative number.
However, it's one big step closer to becoming a positive number.
Only the total population decreased somewhat.
In war, people always die.
After Orkification, the only improvement in the territory's inhabitants was their recovery ability.
This is equivalent to adding a passive recovery talent.
It is not the same as immortality.
The injury is so severe that it could be fatal.
Even true Orks could die in battle, let alone them?
However, this mortality rate is far, far lower than that of the average human.
For the first time, the Power of Faith item appeared in the Lord's attribute panel.
I don't know if it's because of the territory level upgrade or because a patch was applied.
"6981..."
"It looks like a lot, but it's actually not enough."
Although the amount of Power of Faith Chen Changhe converted into the Waaagh Power in order to seize Black Snake City was not statistically analyzed.
But it's definitely not less than 20,000.
Black Snake City is just a small city, yet it requires so much Power of Faith.
When he conquers larger cities, the Power of Faith he will need to consume will be astronomical.
"It seems that if we want to conquer more territory, we must first stockpile more Power of Faith."
"I thought I had already achieved freedom of Power of Faith."
"I never expected there would be this trick up your sleeve..."
"I knew it... this Power of Faith definitely wouldn't be enough."
To obtain Power of Faith more efficiently.
The only way is to gain more followers.
More believers of higher faith levels.
"Looks like we still have to buy slaves."
We need to buy more slaves!
More than 500 people remained on the original farm, barely managing to keep it running.
The rest of the men followed Chen Changhe into Black Snake City.
Because the Corruption Divine Power was banished, the cleanup of Black Snake City was not difficult.
Even the corpses of those Corrupted Creatures were cleansed by the Corruption Divine Power, restoring them to their original appearance.
More than two thousand people were scattered throughout the city, making it seem exceptionally empty.
Chen Changhe's desire to recruit more people became even stronger.
Having just returned from Miracle City, Ma Dexiang set off again, this time heading towards Bull Fief.
He took more than five thousand gold coins with him, all for the purpose of buying slaves.
Soon, Ma Dexiang returned with six thousand slaves. This time, the slaves were half Demi-humans and half humans, with a small number of Elves as well. The population of the territory reached over 9,000.
In front of the newly arrived slaves, Chen Changhe once again announced the Blackwater Fief's unique program for converting slaves into free citizens.
The slaves were deeply shocked after hearing this. They had already felt hopeless and despondent when they became slaves.
I thought I would live this life in a daze, without dignity, and then die in the Northlands, becoming a disgusting, rotting corpse.
However, at this moment, an opportunity suddenly appeared that could change his fate and allow him to regain his freedom!
This news rekindled their hope and aspirations for life.
I instantly felt a strong sense of identification with Blackwater Fief.
"Long live the Blackwater Fief!"
"Long live the Baron!"
The rousing shouts rose and fell, echoing through the sky like a surging torrent.
Most of the slaves were so excited that they knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling and their eyes glistening with tears.
There is no other way to express our highest respect and boundless gratitude to Blackwater Fief and His Excellency the Baron, except by doing so.
Some of them were already moved to tears, their tears mixing with the dust on the ground to form black ash.
However, they didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and didn't even have time to wipe it off with their hands.
These slaves were all old and frail.
They had been slaves their entire lives, and thought they would die with that identity.
Unexpectedly, the suffering they had endured for so many years has finally come to an end, and they are now filled with wonderful hopes for the future.
Everything a slave owns belongs to the master, even their offspring are slaves to the master, and their life and death are entirely in the master's hands.
No slave does not yearn to regain their freedom and become a free citizen.
There was another group of slaves who were quite special.
Unlike other slaves, they had long ears and fairer, smoother skin.
They are Elves.
The Human Kingdom and the Elves have always been at war.
This was true not only for the Dragon Empire, but also for other Human Kingdom.
Since it's a war, there will inevitably be prisoners of war.
There are quite a few Elves within the Dragon Empire.
They were all prisoners of war and their descendants brought in by the war.
Compared to humans, the fate of Elves slaves was far more tragic.
I don't know where this story came from.
At some point, a rumor began to spread among aristocratic circles.
Consuming food made from Elves Mermaids over a long period can make the skin of consumers more delicate and smooth, and give them more vitality.
The news spread like wildfire, arousing great interest among the nobles.
Furthermore, the fact that both the Elves Mermaids races are mostly composed of handsome men and beautiful women makes them even more attractive to nobles.
In pursuit of so-called beauty benefits, many nobles spared no expense in purchasing Elves Mermaids as ingredients.
This behavior, however, brought endless suffering and disaster to the Elves Mermaids.
They were deprived of their freedom, reduced to food for the nobles, and their lives slowly faded away under relentless exploitation.
Statistics show that no Elves or Mermaids slave has ever lived past the age of thirty-five.
They were either tortured to death or became food for nobles.
Chen Changhe undoubtedly became a second parent to these Elves.
The slaves' gratitude led to their recognition as subjects of the Blackwater Fief once again.
At that moment, they felt an unprecedented sense of recognition and acceptance, as if the entire territory was welcoming their arrival.
The Orkification Lord Talent were able to take effect on them.
Instantly, these already extremely exhausted citizens felt the changes in their bodies as the Waaagh Power flowed from the earth beneath their territory and entered their bodies to transform them.
Boundless vitality burst forth from their bodies, as if a mysterious light had descended, instantly illuminating these originally weak and lifeless slaves.
This mysterious light, like a source of life, flowed into the bodies of every slave, stimulating their inner potential and vitality.
Amazingly, as life and vitality emerged, the slaves' bodies underwent astonishing changes.
Their originally thin bodies gradually became stronger, their muscles bulging out clearly, exuding a sense of power.
This change did not happen overnight, but rather gradually emerged at a visible pace.
Each muscle appears to have been meticulously sculpted by a master sculptor, with smooth yet powerful lines that showcase a unique aesthetic.
Their skin also became tougher and radiated a healthy glow.
