''Hm?''
[Detected that the Host will undergo a Test soon. As an Emperor how could he miss this opportunity to strengthen the Imperial Court.
Please Defeat enemy Lords.
Lords Defeated: 0/10
Reward: 1,000 System Points, x10 Copy Card, 10,000 Sets of Apprentice Warrior Equipment, 10,000 Noble Horses (Strong Mortal-First Apprentice Warrior Realm)]
''Hiss''
Tang Gao was stunned. Originally he thought that the only mission this time would be to defeat Lin Fan. But there was actually such a profitable mission?!
Not to mention the System points, 1,000 Points can buy a lot of things!
But the rest of the rewards were plenty of things that Tang Gao needed. Equipment is easy to say, this would be enough to equip his entire standing Army with some left over!
Even for the Summons, this equipment could come in handy.
But even more so is the Mounts.
System Ratings come from a lot of things, innate things like Talent, understanding, physiques etc…
But also external things like Equipment and Mounts! Even if a First Stage Apprentice Warrior has a Peak Junior Warrior Mount they could definitely be considered a Quasi-Genius!
After all, the mount won't always be with them. And the premise is that the Mount has to be completely loyal to the owner.
For ordinary Lords this is already difficult to do, but for Tang Gao this isn't an issue!
And these 10,000 Noble Horses represent a massive amount of potential! Don't look at how they are only Strong Mortal Horses, or at most First Stage Apprentice Horses, they can also practise and improve.
Or, in many cases, Lords will capture mounts and breed them generation after generation, training their own bloodline of horses or mounts!
And because of this Mounts are incredibly valuable, even a bloodline for an Intermediate Warrior Horse could trade for the lives of dozens of Level 1 Lords!
''Tsk I didn't expect to receive such terrifying rewards. But what is this Copy Card?''
Tang Gao was faintly surprised. He had seen the Copy Card in the shop, but it costs 10,000 System Points. So he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
[Copy Card (10,000 System Points): A Special Prop that can randomly copy one thing from another Lord of the same Level. This could be their personal strength, a copy of one of their subordinates, or even their entire God's World. It depends entirely on luck.
(Not applicable on the Sons and Daughters of Luck)]
''Shit?!''
Tang Gao was stunned.
''A chance to steal their entire God's World? Haha isn't this just cheating?''
Tang Gao was amazed in an instant. But he quickly calmed down.
''It seems the Copy Cards value is so low due to the randomisation. For 10,000 System Points you can buy a lot of valuable things, but there's a chance that you could only steal a low talented subordinate.''
''However if it pays off…''
Tang Gao smirked faintly. Thinking of the many Rich Lords that definitely have large populations and plenty of talents he seemed to drool.
''Just ensure that I complete this mission.''
''I have 900 System points at the moment.''
''System spent 127 System Points to purchase 127 Random Junior Weapons.''
Tang Gao thought about it and decided to equip his Summoned Subordinates first. Currently he has summoned 123 Geniuses, 3 Overlords and 1 Peerless Subordinate to serve the Imperial Court.
Although there are only 50 Junior Warriors in the Imperial Court, there is no harm in equipping the subordinates with weapons stronger than themselves.
''System spent another 400 System Points on purchasing 20 Spiritual Wells and 20 Automatic Rice Fields in preparation for a rise in population. It would be bad if during the Competition we face food shortages.''
''And finally''
Tang Gao focused on the last item he wanted to purchase.
[Black Iron Wall (300 Points/1,000 Metres): A wall forged from the strongest Black Iron. It can defend from attacks of a Peak Apprentice Warrior. It comes equipped with 1 Ballista every 100 Metres which when used by a Warrior can produce attacks equal to one small realm higher than their own.]
''System purchase 1,000 Metres of the Black Iron Wall!''
Tang Gao suddenly seemed to come to a bird's eye perspective of his Territory. The large land spread far and wide. In a large plains you could see his palace, with materials constantly being shipped.
Not too far away there was the Imperial City. Large houses had been constructed in this time and it was already resembling a large town, with clear plans of expansion.
But Tang Gao focused on the North. Here, a white light floated gently in the void at the edge of the Gods World.
You could already see Military tents erected slightly far from this place, with soldiers preparing for the upcoming fight.
This is the Connecting Point. An advantage that the defending Lords Have. Every invasion will only come from one place theoretically. So if you can defend here you can defend your God's World!
Of course this doesn't consider things like assassins sneaking in or aerial attacks, but the concepts are the same.
Many strong Lords will set up formations and many layers of defense before they reach their main Gods world. Hence why attacking is so difficult.
After all, you're walking into your rival's territory and trying to brute force your way forward! How could it be easy?
''Here''
Tang Gao saw an illusionary wall appear in front of him. Over 1,000 Meters long and 20 metres high. Iron Sheeting covered the entire thing and frightening black ballistas spread far and wide.
He positioned it so it was a long straight line just in front of the White light. Of course it didn't cross near the entirety of Tang Gao's Gods World, but for ordinary Level 1 Lords it is already extremely long!
''Soldiers!''
Seeing the giant wall, the soldiers were originally quite surprised and panicked. But Tang Gaos voice quickly came out.
