Chapter 111
As time went by, she also felt this power subtly transforming her body.
At that moment, the wariness and confusion in her eyes disappeared, gradually turning into shock.
When the light fades and the flames subside, a system notification appears.
[Evolution successful! Your territory hero, Leina Yenet, has reached the potential of Boss One Star ★★★]
[This breakthrough: All attributes +15%, Agility +100]
[Activate Tier Two Transcendent Spells: Magma Eruption, Meteor Fire Rain.]
"Hero Rank units are truly different; each potential advancement grants them 5% more attribute boosts than other unit types."
Shen Xing sighed, then glanced at the two newly activated spells.
Just like its name suggests, the former [Magma Eruption] can summon a pillar of magma, dealing massive damage to enemies in a small area and having a chance to knock them away.
The following [Meteor Fire Rain] is a large-area group attack skill that can unleash three waves of fire rain on an area with a diameter of about 100 meters.
"This power... it's amazing," Leina murmured to herself, seemingly still reeling from the shock of her sudden surge in potential.
Then, she tentatively asked, "How did you do that? This kind of skill is practically a miracle..."
"No... it might be even more powerful than a miracle!"
Leina could sense the peculiarity of this power.
During her childhood, she was baptized by a goddess statue, which greatly enhanced her aptitude, leaving a deep impression on her.
But compared to this man's power, even the goddess's baptism seemed insignificant.
Shen Xing shook his head. "It's just one of my personal special abilities."
"Of course, this ability comes at a Xiao Xiao price, and I've already paid it."
After saying that, he silently pushed his wheelchair and turned to leave.
Leina watched his retreating figure, her expression somewhat complicated.
This man seemed quite different from the lords she had encountered before.
The guys she had encountered before all had ulterior motives; some coveted her beauty, while others forced her to use that sinful flame.
But no one else was like him, uninterested in his own appearance and never forcing her to do anything she didn't want to do.
Moreover, he helped her improve her skills on several occasions.
Just now, they even used this forbidden power.
Although he spoke casually, Leina knew that such immense power couldn't possibly come at Xiao Xiao price.
This man must have sacrificed a lot for me.
Leina gripped the sword hilt tightly, her shoulders trembling slightly as she struggled internally.
"I'm sorry... it's not that I'm unwilling to use this power, but I'm afraid of hurting you..."
She took a deep breath, drew her sword from her waist again, and began to practice diligently.
Shen Xing had no idea what the woman was thinking.
He arrived at the center of the territory with anticipation, looking at the Orc Barracks that had been upgraded.
The original dilapidated wooden cabin has been completely transformed.
The walls are made of stone bricks, and there is a beast bone totem on each side of the main entrance. Several strings of beast teeth hang from the eaves.
The overall style is rugged, reminiscent of the Orc council chamber.
I glanced at the attributes.
[Orc Barracks]
[Rank: Elite ★]
[Recruitable Units: Orc Infantry (Common ★ ~ Elite ★)]
[Recruitment Requirements: 30 Soul Stone, 30 Vinar Silver Coin, 50 Food]
(The required materials vary depending on the star rating of the recruited troop type.)
[Upgrade Requirements: Soul Stone *2000, Vinar Silver Coin *2000, Food*5000, Amber Gem*1]
[Description: A sizable Orc Barracks where you can recruit Common orcish infantry or Elite Rank orcs to fight for you!]
"Excellent, we can finally recruit Elite orcs in bulk."
As the system description states, once the star rating of this type of troop nest is increased, it's not only possible to recruit high-star Elite, but also low-star miscellaneous troops.
Most lords would recruit a group of elite soldiers and train them intensively, while recruiting a large number of ragtag soldiers to serve as cannon fodder and support.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing decided to recruit thirty Elite One Star beastmen and sixty Common Two Stars beastmen at once.
In this way, the number of orcs in the territory will reach more than 110, which is enough to activate the 100-person bond.
Without hesitation, he opened the barracks and began recruiting.
[Consume 1200 Soul Stone, 1200 Vinar Silver Coin, and 1800 Food to recruit 20 Orc Infantry (Elite ★)?]
[Consume 900 Soul Stone, 900 Vinar Silver Coin, and 1200 Food to recruit 60 Orc Infantry (Common ★★)?]
Shen Xing clicked "OK" directly.
In an instant, a large amount of resources were consumed.
Inside the Orc Barracks, a bright light shone, and burly figures with green skin emerged.
That wasn't all; Shen Xing then looked at the Werewolf Den to the side.
[Consume 300 Soul Stone, 300 Vinar Silver Coin, and 500 Food to recruit 20 Werewolves (Common ★★★)?]
"Yes."
A large amount of resources will be consumed again.
The interior of that deep, dark nest emitted bursts of blue light.
"Awoo~"
Accompanied by the howls of wolves, tall, slender figures emerged from within.
System notifications kept popping up.
[Ding! Your territory now has more than 50 Orc troops, activating the 50-troop synergy: All Orcs' attack speed/movement speed +15%]
[Ding! Your territory now has over 100 Orc troops, unlocking the 100-man Legion skill – Frenzy Instinct (When attacked, there is a 15% chance to enter Frenzy state, becoming immune to pain and greatly increasing destructive desires for 10 seconds)]
[Ding! Your territory now has more than 30 'Werewolves' troops, activating the 30-troop synergy: Initial Agility +10]
"This legion skill is really powerful; it's like giving every orc an extra 'Frenzy' passive ability, drastically increasing their combat strength."
Shen Xing's eyes brightened slightly, thinking to himself that as expected of the Hundred-Person Bond, the improvement was indeed significant.
At the same time, more than a hundred new recruits were divided into two groups and lined up neatly together.
The eighty orcs each carried an iron axe, and thirty of them were noticeably taller and had much more muscular bodies.
Beside them stood a group of Common- looking villagers dressed in coarse linen clothes.
These villagers, both men and women, all had a ghostly green glint in their eyes and carried the aura of wild beasts.
Shen Xing looked around, then called out to someone in the distance, "Gorehowl, come here for a second."
"Here we are, boss!"
A loud response came from the village entrance.
Immediately afterwards, a burly orc with dark red skin rode a tall dire wolf and charged forward.
The heavy footsteps approached from afar, and the powerful fighting spirit almost materialized, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Whether they werewolves or orcs, they all looked at the wolf rider with awe.
"Boss, what do we need Gorehowl for?"
Shen Xing said in a deep voice, "This batch of Elite orcs, as well as this batch of newly recruited werewolves, will be under your unified training."
"Let the orcs train in riding werewolves and fight together."
"I want to build an elite wolf rider force."
"The other orcs will be taken to Da Hou for regular training."
He issued instructions one by one, giving these greenhorns a clear and detailed explanation.
"No problem, boss!"
Gorehowl nodded emphatically, his deep gaze sweeping over them. "I will definitely train them well and make them the best wolf riders, hehehe..."
The werewolves and orcs felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the other's lips gradually part into a grin.
Led by Gorehowl, all 110 new recruits headed towards the village entrance.
Shen Xing also summoned two Dretch to bolster his elite bombardment army.
After finishing that, he clapped his hands. "Next, let's take stock of the territory's buildings and total troop strength."
First, I opened the territory interface and glanced at the building list.
[Territory Name: None]
[Core Building: Level 1 Great Bonfire]
[Maximum population: 244/1000]
[Existing basic buildings: 310 meters of level 1 city wall, 12 level 2 arrow towers, 8 level 2 Ice Arrow Tower, 4 lighthouses, 20 houses, 1 well]

[Existing unit nests: Skeleton Archer Den (Common ★★★), Werewolf Den (Common ★★★), Lesser Demon Lair (Elite ★), Orc Barracks (Elite ★)]
"Without realizing it, there are already so many buildings; this development speed is like a rocket."
Shen Xing sighed inwardly and then tallied the total military strength of the territory.
[Total Territory Troops]
[25 Skeleton Archers, Level 4-7, 1 Elite Three Stars Skeleton (Black Arrow), 3 Elite One Star Skeletons, 21 Common 3-Star Skeletons]
