Reward Value Breaks Ten Thousand and Skill Planning

As the Blood Moon Season's late-stage intensity gradually waned, the crimson pressing down on the Gray Fog faded a little.

The Blood Moon still hung in the sky, but the assaults beyond Blackpine Fief had already thinned out.

Since obtaining the Sacred Flame Proxy Signet, Shien had planned everything: the defenses were complete, and every process ran smoothly.

Even the Auxiliary Soldiers on rotation knew when to add acid and when to refill the bolt magazines.

He barely needed to trouble himself. He only had to hold the tower and watch a few critical points; the terrain, fortifications, and rotation system would run on their own.

The Demonic Beast remains left in the canyon and along the outer defenses were hauled back cartload by cartload.

The carcasses that should have rotted in the Gray Fog all ended up in the Workshop and storehouses, where they continued to serve a purpose.

So compared with the fighting outside the walls, the real bustle was in the Inner Fortress, where the spoils were being tallied.

In Sacred Flame Square, the quartermasters and Workshop apprentices were so busy they had no time even to look up.

Low-Tier Demonic Beast Sourceblood was sealed with wax and stored by batch. Wolf bones, claws, poison sacs, and acid glands were packed into separate crates and carted straight to the Workshop.

The remains and High-Tier Primordial Blood left by those Third Tier commanders were locked away separately in the inner vault, gradually refilling Blackpine Fief's once-depleted treasury.

Standing atop the tower, Shien swept his gaze over the iron chests and wooden crates being carried away below, tallying the figures in his head.

There was enough low-tier Sourceblood and Magic Crystal to cover several future Blood Moon Seasons.

They had also amassed thirty-one drops of higher-tier Tier Three Sourceblood.
