These quests appeared not only for William but also for everyone present at the scene.
The rewards were different for different people. For example, soldiers received only 10,000 experience points for each Zaran town destroyed and generals received 100,000 experience points.
"The quest asks me to have 1,500 soldiers move from rank (F +) to rank (E +) and 200 soldiers move from rank (E +) to rank (D-). However, I only have at my disposal 720 ranks (F +), 80 ranks (E-), 75 non-commissioned officers (E-), 22 non-commissioned officers (E) and the 12 generals of the ranks (E-). Victoria of ranks (E +), I therefore miss 780 soldiers in the row (F) and 11 soldiers in the row (E). Unfortunately promoting so many soldiers must be the limit of my generals, so I have no choice but to recruit more generals to expand the army. In this way, not only can I recruit the 791 soldiers that are missing but also recruit many more, which will not only improve the overall strength of our army but also accelerate the promotion in the ranks of generals and supreme generals. William analyzed
A plan quickly took shape in William's mind.
"I currently have 416 stat points in Soul Power which is enough to promote 41 Generals as well as 4 Supreme Generals. But I have 5 generals currently in rank (D), Edward, Charles, Frederick, Arthur and Victoria. "
[Advice to the host, for the cost of 10 Generals places you can promote an additional Supreme General.]
The cold robotic voice once again solved William's problems.
"Thank you for my talent, luckily there is this option otherwise I would be in a situation where I would have to give up a general. William concluded in his mind.
"Everyone listen to me, I will now promote the 5 current generals to the rank of supreme general as well as 31 soldiers to the rank of general among the ranks (E), the rest of the ranks (E) will be promoted by the ranks. new supreme generals. However, we will be doing this in hell or else the natural consequences caused by the promotions will be enough to get the Zaran's attention and problems may arise. »William declared.
"At your orders King! Replied all the soldiers.
A common message appeared in each person's mind
[Does the host wish to go to hell?]
And the answer was the same for everyone.
" Yes "
[Order received]
[Hell selected.]
[Beginning of teleportation]
In the next instant a spectacular scene took place, countless circles of light appearing one after another, as the soldiers disappeared one after another into countless points of light.
William and his generals also vanished from their previous positions.
A few seconds later, everyone appeared in this vast red desert which is now familiar to them, but the soldiers were on the 1st floor while the William and the generals appeared on the 2nd floor.
At the same time, William had a doubt and to clarify it he asked the system:
"System, if we defeat the boss on the 2nd floor, how long will the update take and will we be denied access to hell during that time?" "
[Response to host, update will take 1 hour and system hosts still have access to the first 2 floors.]
William was surprised at this response, after all the last update lasted 3 days but this time it only lasts an hour, clearly not normal!
The system picked up on William's doubts.
[The host should not be surprised, if the system is an engine then the soul power of its users is the essence of its operation.]
William quickly understood, previously there were only 5 users on the system but now there are a total of 915 users so naturally the progress of the update is unmatched to before.
If the update is based only on the number then the update has become 183 times faster, but the system makes it clear that soul power is its fuel, so the update speed has actually become even faster!
However each update consumes more energy than the last, otherwise the next update should be much shorter than an hour!
"Let's quickly deal with the 2nd floor boss and then proceed with the promotions. "William thought
He summoned the master skeleton martial arts as well as the master swordsman and his disciples. The martial arts master and the swordsman are already of rank (D) and the disciples are of rank (D-).
The appearance of 5 soldiers in black armor slightly surprised the generals with their powerful aura, but they quickly calmed down.
"Arthur, Victoria, Frédéric, Charles, Edward, disperse upstairs and find the boss. Each of you will have one of my skeletons, when you meet the boss you should be able to defeat him but you have to let the skeleton accompanying you have the last hit. "
" At your service ! Replied the generals.
William nodded slightly then all the generals turned into a blurry black leaving in all directions followed by the 5 skeletons.
Getting the last move is very important because it's that move that decides who gets the skeleton under his command.
Of course each of the generals could guess why William insisted on getting the last blow, but none dared to have any dissatisfaction.
For starters, William is already giving them a lot of benefits and they are happy with those benefits. Not to mention that with William's current strength no one dares show their greed.
The fight between William and Victoria was enough for them to show the gulf that separated them. Indeed, although they reach the rank (D-), Frederic, Charles and Edward know that they still cannot compete with Victoria. Super rare talent, rank sword mastery (C) and rank sword technique (B) made Victoria extremely strong at the same rank.
Not to mention William who could already defeat her in the past at rank (D-) and who now is at rank (D). His strength became even more elusive after he acquired a super rare talent.
Arthur is currently slightly stronger than William thanks to his epic talent, but he is the one who is most loyal to William. Arthur's vision is extremely broad and he is an ambitious man. He will never dare betray the man who can enable him to achieve his ambitions.
Especially since he got his new talent because, if he can already get such talent in just a few weeks then what will he get in a few months or a few years?
But this is not the only reason, there are already 915 users of the system and everyone can see that this is clearly not the limit. Who can know where that line is, but everyone can roughly guess the answer.
Strength is the only limit!
If William ever becomes an S rank then it is very likely that every human being will be able to become a user of the system!
Or maybe even before!
What does it mean ?
That means to offend William would be to offend all of humanity!
Generals are not fools, with the help of the system each one of them is confident to reach S rank but if they have the confidence to reach it then William will undoubtedly reach it.
Each of them could come to this conclusion and, without exception, they all broke in a cold sweat at the thought.
...
A few minutes later
*Boom*
Arthur punched the rank (E +) skeleton in front of him with his fist.
He looked around and only thousands of bones could be seen around him with the exception of a 2.5 meter tall soldier clad in black armor. Just standing there puts a lot of pressure on him.
Arthur glanced at him then sighed.
" So boring. "
The gap was already huge between a rank (D-) and an ordinary rank (E +), not to mention that Arthur was no longer an ordinary rank (D-), with his epic talent, he can easily face multiple ranks (D + ) ordinary at the same time and win.
By now, Arthur had almost finished inspecting his area, indeed, the size of Hell is a few thousand miles in width and length, so his size was gigantic for the ranks (F). Even for the generals, training for several weeks was not enough to go through all hell, otherwise he would have met the boss a long time ago.
But now with their strength, in just a few minutes the whole floor could be walked.
"Hmm? "
"Looks like I'm the first to find him," Arthur thought suddenly with a slight smile on his face.
Indeed a very different skeleton appeared on the horizon, accompanied by an army of tens of thousands of skeletons and, without exception, all in line (E).
What made this skeleton so special was that unlike the others who only carry weapons, this one wears not only a scepter, but also a long black cloak.
The special thing about this coat is that it didn't have the slightest trace of wear despite the passage of time. And who knows how long this skeleton had been in hell, it might have been millions of years!
But that's not what made Arthur smile, if his intuition weren't bad, then the skeleton in the distance had to have enough capital to face him on level ground!
