More than a thousand people rushed through the dense forest, leaving behind the sounds of fast breathing and the rustling sounds of stepping on the grass.
The morale of the Dwarfs was not so good now. They had been attacked by the Orcs as they backed them into a corner and nearly 100 Dwarf Warriors had been killed.
They were mourning and reminiscing because they were unable to bury the bodies of their people and could only grieve in silence.
Odom was a Dwarf prince with an Epic bloodline. He was not that young, but because he seldom ate the meat of magical beasts and magic potions, he was only level 43. Faced with the level 30 Elite Orc Warriors and some level 40 Orc Chiefs, he was unable to face them alone.
NPCs, magical beasts, and dragons could increase their strength by eating and training. They did not have to reach the peak of their combat power when they reached adulthood.
The bloodline potential of an NPC was limited by the growth of the battle energy and magic he had learned. There was no upper limit to it.
That was to say…
An NPC who had an Advanced bloodline potential could break through level 100 or even reach level 200, and their attributes would increase with their level.
However!
The battle energy (magic) cultivated by the NPC would reach the upper limit.
The battle energy points, battle energy power, and battle energy quality didn't increase after reaching level 100. There was no difference in this life, and the NPC could only use Advanced battle energy.
Due to the restrictions on bloodline, which was also the limit on endowment, an NPC would be unable to break through the next stage.
But as long as he did not die, and had not entered the old and weak stage, his strength (leveling attribute) would continue to grow.
In a word, the quality of battle energy represented their rank.
Rank did not really represent level.
[Just like a middle-aged Battle Master, in terms of physical attributes, he had to be much better than a younger Battle Master. However, the middle-aged Battle Master's talent had reached a ceiling and could only increase his physical qualities. However, there was no way for him to break through to become a Battle Emperor.]
They marched back very quickly.
When William led 1600 Dwarfs into the territory, most of the commoners came out and looked at them with surprise and doubtful looks.
After all, Dwarfs did not usually like living in the forest. They preferred open plains or rugged mountains. It was difficult to imagine why they had come.
At this point, William chose to get to the point. "This is my territory, Border Town. You can live here temporarily, or you can choose to join my territory!"
Odom Heavyhammer stood on a high area, looking at the sparsely populated town. He then glanced at the people under his command, who had anticipation in their eyes and could only sigh. "I will bring my people to join the town. I hope our arrival will not cause trouble to the Lord!"
William held his hand kindly and said, "There will be trouble, but we can face it positively, can't we?"
Then, he looked at the small town with only a few empty rooms and said with embarrassment, "There aren't many residents so there are few tree houses, and not many houses are suitable for you…"
"I understand that human houses are not suitable for Dwarfs. We'll build our own houses!" Odom nodded and drew back his hand. Beggars couldn't be choosers, but he did not want to sell his body.
He was tired…
His people were also tired…
They had been running around for too long…
They did not dare to look for strong allies…
For example, the most powerful existence in Blackleaf Forest, the city of the Blackleaf Elves. Yet he did not dare to seek their help.
Odom knew that the Elves would not help him in restoring his kingdom. Although the Elves wouldn't betray them, it didn't feel good to depend on others for a living.
They also dared not contact the other Dwarf kingdoms.
Because he did not know who would continue to betray him, this fallen prince.
As for the Elf Prince in front of him?
"Which orthodox Elf Prince would come to this remote place to establish territory and occupy the territory of the once-powerful Human?" Odom Heavyhammer was not stupid. He thought about it and knew that the person in front of him was probably the illegitimate son of that Legendary Human.
Their status was similar.
They could have a very good basis for cooperation.
He planned to stay here for a long time if the prince did not go too far.
Odom Heavyhammer was really tired and desperate. He had no intention of returning to his country after being on the run for so many years.
This was because he knew how hopeless it would be and only wanted to protect his followers. If he could gain his footing in one place, it would be best.
The premise was not to let his followers be humiliated!
His family name had a glorious history throughout two whole eras. They had defeated the Balrogs and destroyed the invasion of the dark creatures. So when William asked him if he was interested in being the deputy mayor, Odom looked surprised and held William's hand tightly. "Really? Can I be the Deputy Mayor with my abilities?"
"Of course. I have faith in you!" William grinned and patted Odom's shoulder, then smoothed down his blonde hair.
It was just the title of deputy mayor. William did not care much about it because he was still the one in charge. Giving Odom the title of deputy mayor was just to let him have some say and increase his sense of belonging to the territory.
After all, Odom was the deputy mayor, which meant that the town was his home. How could he not command his Dwarfs to build the town properly?
…
"My Lord is really skillful. Looking at those Dwarfs' frightened faces, I don't know how long they had been hunted down. If there is a place to take root, they will make every effort to build defense works." Lautner now admired William very much.
After all, it was hard for ordinary lords to share their power.
William sat on the chair with Bear Three in his arms. The adorable Big Bear and Bear Two were holding onto his legs. Hearing Lautner sucking up to him, William shook his head. "This is not sharing power, but giving my mission over to the most suitable person."
Lautner thought for a while and nodded when he understood William's meaning. He then touched Bear Three's little willy, ignoring Bear Three claws and then left.
Meanwhile…
William, who finally had free time, leveled himself to level 15 and gained 6 attribute points. All his attributes increased by 1, including the charm value of his hidden attribute.
He added three points each to Agility and power.
As for the other experience, I'll put it into battle energy manual and battle energy skills. William thought about it and began to level up his skills.
The difference between his personal level and battle energy skill was 10 levels.
Now that he was level 15, his battle energy cultivation method had been raised to level 5.
But his battle energy skill was a mere level 2. He would have to use up all his experience if he were to raise it to level 5.
Attribute panel Lord!
At this time, William was at level 15.
