Instantly I bought the item and send a soldier to open the gate far ahead on the path of the invaders.
The morales were low but not to the point where they would outright ignore an order. One of the soldiers stood up and took the task into his hands and rushed forth.
Leaving solely to chances, the walls goes for another round of upgrades and is now at level 4 today.
The portal was also connected today between the two areas.
With a sum of 121.6k gold, I decided to browse the store again. Hoping to find more useful items.
Just as I was lost in thought, Barn Jones, the alchemist came running into the room clearly excited.
I stared at him and his misconduct but I didn't point it out for I am kind.
Holding together his excitement, he cleared his throat once and then proceeds to speak
"Your highness, with my accumulated research and the resources you provided. I have finally made a portion that can turn regular humans into elves!
Once they transition, we will have more Magi! We can definitely overturn the war into our favor!"
Indeed, mages with large scale destruction loves an army like the one which is attacking me today.
I'm so happy good news came today for I know, if he was late, I would have already sprung and left the town.
Well maybe not but, you get the gist of it.
"So, what do you need to start mass production?"
"Talent sire, talent. Only talented people can evolve, if it's not, all they are is a normal potion. Each potion cost 10 gold to make after all."
Since there's barely any time and I have little to no troops, I should just have them all drunk a potion.
Atleast all I have are golds.
I hired another 400 troop on the spot bringing my total army count to 1k and spend 10k gold commissioning Barn to manufacture the potion and have every troops drink one.
Spending 20k gold in a day, that's all the profit I got from a day as well. I feel like my spending can't keep up with my earnings.
The next day, my walls reached level 5 while my innermost walls were maxed out at 7 since days ago.
The summoned monster managed to delay the troops by a day but they barely reduce the 70k strong army to 67k.
I feel like my 25k went down the drain but well, atleast I bought myself a days worth.
Barn visited me again, clearly more excited than yesterday.
"Your highness! From the 1000 troops, 345 managed to transition and, what's more 1 of them even evolved into a high elf!"
I don't know what a high elf even is but if he's this excited, it ought to be something cool.
The new elven blood army were very distinct, beauty and ear.
I turned my head and browse the supposedly high elf.
"Name: Edward
Race: elf (mixed blood/ high grade)
Rank: 3 🌟 🌟 🌟
Description: Known to be the closest being with nature, they've learned to harness the power of Mother Nature to their advantage."
Satisfied I turn and browse the normal elves.
"Name: Lansoph
Race: elf (mixed blood/ low grade)
Rank: 1 🌟
Description: Known to be the closest being with nature, they've learned to harness the power of Mother Nature to their advantage."
What a huge leap, from 1 to 3 and skipping 2.
For some weird reason, I felt so at ease, this upcoming war feels so weak now.
