[Kill: Tier 8 Two-Headed Demon Commander, energy value +300, Power Stones +10]
[Kill: Tier 9 Two-Headed Demon Chief, energy value +1000, Power Stone +100, Blueprint +1, Equipment +1]
[Kill: Tier 6 Elite Two-Headed Demon, energy value +70, Power Stone +2]
[Congratulations, your troops have destroyed the Two-Headed Demon Tribe's Tribal Heart, and gained +100 Power Stones]
[You destroyed the Two-Headed Demon Tribe! Your Angel Castle's influence and reputation on the Endless Continent has greatly increased!]
[Special Reminder: Two-Headed Demons' hatred towards your castle has increased!]
In the Angel Castle Haru looked at the messages that kept appearing and his face was full of smiles. In this battle with the Two-Headed Demon Tribe, his gains were too great. In the first battle, the Angel Team and the Gnome Tribe had killed a total of over a hundred Elite Two-Headed Demons and three Two-Headed Demon Commanders.
In the second battle, they killed nearly four hundred Two-Headed Demons, one Lord, five Commanders, about two hundred Elites, and about a hundred ordinary Two-Headed Demons. Plus, they destroyed the Two-Headed Demon Tribe's Tribal Heart.
Haru estimated that in the two battles, he had collected at least a thousand Power Stones. There might even be more. In addition, his angels killed a peak Tier 9 Two-Headed Demon Chief and unexpectedly obtained a blueprint. It was an absolutely bountiful harvest!
"Now, let's wait for the Angel Team to return. Other than the Angel Team, the Gnome Tribe's troops are also on their way." Haru stood on the balcony on the top floor of the Angel Castle, looking past the five-meter high wall at the Dark Forest outside. In the Dark Forest, the ancient trees shook and birds flew in unison. The roars of the monsters were like war drums.
In less than half an hour, the Beast Tide would come. He glanced at the World Chat Channel. More and more Castle Lords were unable to withstand the pressure of the Beast Tide. They gave up their status as Castle Lords and changed their 'job class' to Ranger. Without their castle, they naturally did not have to resist the Beast Tide.
Many Rangers claimed in the World Chat Channel that they had escaped the disaster and were no longer restricted by their castle. They had gained their freedom and could determine their fate. Under their influence, the number of Castle Lords who became Rangers had increased. The number of Rangers was increasing.
There seemed to be a tendency for them to compete with the current castle forces. However, were they free? Not really! Haru believed that the tough days of the Rangers would soon come. Their only gain was to be able to avoid the Beast Tide and survive. The real cruel survival had not yet descended on them. This cruel and dangerous world would not favor one over the other. At the very least, Castle Lords could recruit soldiers while the Rangers were alone. The future of the Rangers was destined to be a lot of trouble as compared to the Castle Lords.
Looking at the people in front of him, who did not pay attention to the future, it was very difficult to survive in this cruel world. Of course, Haru understood their choice. After all, many of them knew that they could not resist the Beast Tide, so they had no choice but to give up their status as Castle Lords. They only wanted to live.
If it was Haru and he knew that his castle would be destroyed by the invasion of the Beast Tide, he might have made the same choice. People are always afraid of death. As long as one could survive, by choosing a more dangerous and cruel path, is that wrong? Only by living could there be hope! Thinking about it, this was also the mindset of some people who chose to change positions.
Haru glanced at the Hyperspace Trading Channel. To his surprise, a large number of people were selling food, wood, stones and even refined iron and all the things were only available to be traded for Power Stones and Magic Crystals. It was obvious that these people were the newly formed Rangers.
Without the castle, they wouldn't need these supplies. They only needed a small amount of food to fill their stomachs. They put all these things up for trade and wanted to get Power Stones and Magic Crystals to increase their strength. Absorbing the energy from the Power Stones was one of the ways to level up.
This was the main method to become stronger for the native creatures of Endless Creatures. There were three reasons why the Castle Lords usually didn't use Power Stones to train. The first one was that Power Stones were an important resource for leveling up the barracks building.
Secondly, the Castle Lords could use his troops to kill enemies to obtain energy to quickly level up. Thirdly, using Power Stones to train was a very slow method. The Castle Lords did not care about such a slow method but now, there were Rangers. Their demand for Power Stones was far higher than that of Castle Lords. As for the purchase of Magic Crystals, this was what the rangers were preparing for in the future.
[If I had known that I would be a Ranger, I wouldn't have upgraded my Barracks building before. A whole 100 Power Stones were wasted!]
[Which Castle Lord is willing to sell Power Stones? I'll buy them at ten times the market price!]
On the World Chat Channel, many rangers were looking for Power Stones. Even though Rangers could kill monsters to gain energy and rank up, they did not have enough strength to hunt monsters. Once their current surviving troops died, they would be alone. They had to do everything they could to increase their strength.
Unfortunately, there was no response from the Castle Lords. There were even many Castle Lords who sneered and were secretly mocking these weak and cowardly losers. Indeed, in the eyes of some of the Castle Lords, those Rangers in the World Chat Channel were losers. They were not worthy of being compared to them. What Ranger Alliance? Isn't it just a Losers Alliance!
When the Castle Lords grow, the local powers of the Endless Continent would be wiped out by them. This Endless Continent would be dominated by their Castle Forces. What's a little Ranger Alliance? Some of the Castle Lords were arrogant and looked down on the Rangers in the chat. As for the Power Stones, they did not have enough even for themselves. How can they sell it?
"From the batch of food and equipment from before, the food is intact, but the equipment was sold out. The auction for the [Arrow Tower Blueprint] has also ended. It was auctioned off for 308 Power Stones." A Low-Level defensive blueprint was sold for 300 Power Stones. If it weren't for the fact that the drop rate of blueprints was too low and the Beast Tide was about to arrive, just a Low-Level [Arrow Tower Blueprint] wouldn't be able to fetch such a high price. It was a good thing for Haru.
"At present, the number of Power Stones I have stored has reached 2,700. Let's wait for the Angel Team to bring back the spoils of war. My Power Stone reserves might cross 4,000!" This was a huge number. Haru believed that none of the Castle Lord's Power Stone reserves could keep up with him. He was the richest Castle Lord! There was no doubt about it.
Haru scanned through the Hyperspace Trading Channel once again and found that many Rangers have increased the price that they're willing to pay for Power Stones to twenty to thirty times the market value. This caused a small number of Castle Lords to trade with them. The Castle Lords who bought the resources should be in a hurry to upgrade their castle. That was why they chose to use Power Stones to purchase large amounts of resources at a low price.
However, there weren't many people willing to trade Power Stones. It was only Haru who used the Arrow Tower Blueprint to get Power Stones. Other items, even equipment, would find it hard to find Castle Lords willing to take out Power Stones.
Haru did not go to buy it. Not to mention thirty times the market price, even at fifty times the market price there won't be many people willing to sell Power Stones.
His Angel Castle was currently a Primary Town. To upgrade to an Intermediate Town, he needed 500,000 units of wood, 300,000 units of stone and 100,000 units of iron. Even if he used all the Power Stones to buy wood, stones, and other materials at a low price, it would be far from meeting the upgrade requirements.
On the contrary, it would delay the upgrade of the barracks building, Angel Reincarnation Pool and the gains would not make up for the losses. Haru turned off the Hyperspace Trading Channel. At this moment, a dazzling golden light appeared in the castle. Within the golden light, dozens of little angels could be seen. In just two to three seconds, the golden light disappeared. The Angel Team appeared in front of Haru.
"This is…" Haru was stunned. Then, he suddenly remembered that this was the legion transportation skill of the Six-Winged Angel of Principality, Lysandra. It was a teleportation spell. When he launched an attack on the Gnome tribe, Lysandra had used this Divine skill in front of him.
Lysandra used Long-Distance Teleportation to teleport from Angel Castle to the underground Gnome tribe with other little angels born with her. The incantation seemed to be: "The Lord said that the place where the light shines is the place where the angels descend!"
