[Word Count - 1453 Words]
At this moment, the message arrived as expected.
[Congratulations, Castle Lord!]
[Your Angel Castle has been up leveled up to a Primary Town. Its territory has been increased to five kilometers!]
[The Castle Heart's defense has increased fivefold!]
[Your Angel Castle's influence and reputation on the Endless Continent has greatly increased!]
[Special Reminder 1: Some forces in the Dark Forest have noticed your castle!]
[Special Reminder 2: The Gnome Kingdom's hatred for you has increased!]
"The range of influence is five kilometers! It's almost connected to that person's castle." The Castle Lord that Haru regarded as an enemy was about eight kilometers away from him. The two people's spheres of influence were about to meet. Under such circumstances, even without any previous friction, the two castle forces would definitely start a war. Therefore, the battle of castle forces is inevitable. One could only blame the two of them for getting too close to each other!
"The defense of the castle's heart has increased by five times!"
"Every time the castle is leveled up, the defense of the castle heart will double!. My influence and reputation have also greatly increased! On the other hand, the Gnome Kingdom's hate value has increased? What does it have to do with the Gnome Kingdom? It seems that it is the fate of this Gnome Kingdom to die by my angels' hands!"
Haru turned to look at the little angels guarding beside him and said, "The Gnome Kingdom wants to destroy our Angel Castle. Tell me, what should we do?"
"Destroy the Gnome Kingdom!"
"Use Divine power to punish them!"
"Tell the Gnomes to repent under the burning of the Angel's Holy Flame!"
"Destroy their bodies and redeem their souls!"
The little angels shouted. Even Seraphina, the Angel of Love, showed her disgust towards the Gnome Kingdom. Her philosophy is that the Lord loves the world. The world should also respect and believe in the Lord. If someone violates the Lord's Divine will and blaspheming the Lord's majesty, that person is a heretic! It needs to be purified! Only through purification could the heretics be saved!
"Very good!" Haru nodded in satisfaction. The Gnome Kingdom's hatred for him was increasing. How could he not want to destroy the Gnome Kingdom? To rule the Dark Forest, war was the only shortcut. The future Dark Forest could only belong to him and his followers.
"Wait. Is there no reward for upgrading a town?" Haru suddenly reacted and asked in his mind. Then, he received a response from the notification.
[There is no special reward for upgrading the castle. Only the World Announcement is used to motivate other Castle Lords to develop their castle forces!]
Haru immediately retorted, "How can you motivate other Castle Lords without rewards? You have to understand. Just because there is no reward for upgrading the castle, many of the top Castle Lords are delaying upgrading the castle instead of bidding for my high-ranked equipment!"
[The Castle Lord who will receive an excellent score during the Beast Tide will be rewarded!]
In short, there was no reward for upgrading the castle! Haru was very unhappy. He felt that he had lost a lot. He opened [World Chat Channel]. The world announcement had changed.
[World Announcement: Congratulations to the Castle Lord, Haru, for being the first to level up the castle into a town. His influence and reputation in the Endless Continent have greatly increased! I hope that Castle Lords will not forget their original intention and continue to work! As soon as possible, they would embark on the path of supremacy between all races and become Immortal Gods!]
[World Announcement? Shit! Its for Big Boss Haru!]
[Its the first world announcement ever! Although my castle is a high-ranked castle, it is still a long way from leveling up a town!]
[Boss Haru auctioned his equipment today, and he made a huge profit. There was nothing strange about leveling up a town!]
[I'm curious, what reward did Boss Haru receive for being the first to level up to a town? Usually, rewards accompany world announcements in novels.]
[It might be Divine Equipment! In any case, the reward will be very generous. After all, even a world announcement has been released!]
The chat was very lively. Many Castle Lords were guessing what kind of reward Haru received. Divine equipment, blueprints, troops, etc. Even some of the Top-Level Castle Lords congratulated Haru while expressing their envy. Only Haru felt uncomfortable. He was also wronged. Apart from a world notification, there were no rewards! It even increased the hatred value of the Gnome Kingdom.
There was a feeling of loss. However, even if Haru had known this would happen, he would still have leveled up the castle. This was the 'Main Quest Storyline'. It has to be completed without rewards.
This world announcement fiasco. It came suddenly and went very suddenly. If it was normal, the Castle Lords would have been discussing this for a long time, but the situation was different. There was only half an hour before midnight. In other words, in half an hour, the invincible barrier protecting the Castle Lords would leave everyone. The Castle Lords would also officially 'integrate' into this cruel world.
There were no Invincible Barrier that could be used as a backer for the Castle Lords. If they wanted to live, they could only risk their lives!
[The protective barrier is about to disappear! I'm very uneasy! Even though I have High-Level troops, I am not prepared to come into contact with this world.]
[Tonight, many of the Castle Lords will disappear forever! Not to mention this? There are monsters everywhere outside my castle!]
[There are many pythons around my castle! My legs are shaking when I thought that they might rush in!]
Countless Castle Lords spoke in the chat. The atmosphere instantly turned melancholy and bleak. From the chat messages, it could be seen that the situation of many Castle Lords was not very optimistic. There were a large number of monsters gathered at the entrance of their castle. Some low-ranked wild monsters were fine. Even in a Berserk State, with the current strength of these Castle Lords, most of them can handle it.
However, if there were high-level monsters in the Berserk State, such as Tier 7, Tier 8 or even Tier 9, it would be a disaster for the Castle Lords. Haru believed that there would be a significant number of Castle Lords that would not be able to see the sun tomorrow. When the beast tide comes, there would be even more eliminated Castle Lords. It would reveal the cruel living environment of the Endless Continent!
"The early stages will be difficult! However, as long as we get through the crisis of the early days, the Castle Lords will quickly become stronger and expand to the extent that we will take the initiative to attack local forces of Endless Continent and we will step onto the path of hegemony!" Haru felt that this was human nature! Even he was the same. Very few people would be willing to be ordinary! When one holds power, ambition and desire would naturally follow. This was unavoidable.
As time passed, the World Chat Channel began to wail. Negative energy was constantly being transmitted. Some of the Castle Lords were even in despair, saying goodbye to everyone in the chat. There were also the Castle Lords waiting for death, hoping to return to Earth after their death but it was clear that this possibility was extremely low.
Haru sighed. He then closed the World Chat Channel. Some people were trying to comfort the Castle Lords who have lost hope, but it was useless. That was because even if they were lucky enough to survive tonight, there would still be tomorrow night and the day after tomorrow. After all, once night arrived, the wild monsters would gather and attack the castle.
Other than that, the Beast Tide was about to arrive at any time, and the local factions of the Endless Continent were eyeing them. In short, this world was really cruel! Only the fittest could survive. At this stage, no one could help anyone. Even someone was eliminated, it could only be said that he could not adapt to this cruel world, or rather, that he was unlucky.
Haru did not think too much. In less than twenty minutes, it would be past twelve. He wanted to build the Holy Temple during this time. The Holy Temple could increase the combat strength of the angels by 10%. This was very important! A blueprint appeared in his hand. It was none other than the High-Level Architectural Blueprint of the Holy Temple!
