Chapter 393: Chapter 286 Gift (4K)_2
Engulfed in the red fog, the swelling waves of moon-tide monsters roared ceaselessly. Every now and then, a monster would rush towards the outer walls of the city. The metallic clashing of sword and gun, along with the booming of artillery, echoed without end.
But what business did the battles of the army have with ordinary Territorial Citizens?
The ordinary Territorial Citizens were undoubtedly frightened at first, but they soon discovered that the monsters were fierce in name only and could not breach the city walls.
No, the vast majority of the monsters were slain by the powerful and reliable defenders before they could even reach the walls.
Even those flying monsters or monstrous beasts of great size didn’t last more than two seconds.
This situation even gave many Territorial Citizens an idea to enlist. However, there were no recruitment points in the Tianyuan Territory. Only a few with exceptional talents could join the Defensive Troops.
…
Following Captain Luo Rob, the team headed towards the reception area.
The reception area was only a few dozen meters away from the central square and had never welcomed any visiting players.
At the end of the road, a figure, clad in black heavy armor and as tall and robust as a tower, walked towards them from afar.
His aura was as steady and profound as a mountain range. His helmet-less eyes were radiant, emanating strands of golden divine light.
Could this be the external manifestation of the Light of Will condensed to a certain degree?
Mayor Cui Long wondered.
Upon his arrival, Lu Liu saluted and said, “The Lord is currently away and will need some time to return. He has specially commanded me to entertain you all.”
Zhou Ye didn’t recognize this burly man in black armor but saw the one who had brought them here earlier, the ‘General’, saluting respectfully.
So, was this man was the real top commander under Lord Mu?
Was the one from before a lower-ranking general?
Upon hearing Lu Liu’s introduction, Mayor Cui showed a look of surprise but also of understanding, “So it’s General Lu, I’ve long heard of your reputation.”
Zhou Ye: “…”
That’s not right. Brother Mu has only been a Lord for a little over half a year, and the battles his generals have fought might not be many. How could their names have been known for a long time? He himself didn’t recognize him.
Is this the real skill of those who have climbed to high positions in the Officials’ division?
However, Mayor Cui’s respect for this General Lu seemed a bit… genuine!
Mayor Cui Long’s ‘long-heard reputation’ was not a statement made out of politeness.
He had suspicions before he arrived, and after seeing several clues in front of Lu Liu, they all connected together. His guess was confirmed!
General Lu Liu was the prominent warrior who had made it onto the Dragon Gate List and had a reputable name within the Tai Xuan Alliance.
–Giant Spirit God·Lu Liu!
Even though he was a Lord, while Lu Liu was but a general, however…
At higher circles, the difference in status between a Lord and a general was not that big. Sometimes, a Lord had to treat his high-ranking, high-potential generals as precious as a gem.
Generals representing powerful Lords were guests of high regard wherever they went.
Like the Great General Demonic Flame Wang Qi, he conversed equally with veteran Lords such as Kuang Dao.
And Giant Spirit God·Lu Liu, his strength was higher than that of Demonic Flame Wang Qi. Perhaps, in a year or two, this General Lu Liu would become a legend.
Just like the relationship between Sword Saint Tianhe and Lord Pan Shi;
The Moon Sword Immortal and the Lord of Han Yue City;
There would also be an epic tale between General Lu Liu and Lord Tianyuan in the future.
His future was promising.
With such a powerful figure from the Dragon Gate List personally receiving them, how could Mayor Cui not feel satisfied?
Afterward, Lord Zhou Ye stayed temporarily in the reception building, entertained by Captain Luo Rob.
Mayor Cui, under the guidance of Lu Liu, took a brief tour of the southern district of the Tianyuan Territory.
Meanwhile, in the expansive field of the Warrior Arena:
Mr. Mu was standing firm.
He hadn’t gone far, but he was at a key point in his cultivation, thus he couldn’t leave.
He was building his own system.
The Lord held an edge over the soldier types – he could borrow strength from his own followers and make use of a variety of skills at any time.
But this freeloading of the Lord’s Power had its drawbacks.
What was borrowed was ultimately not his own.
When borrowing normal skills or advanced skills, the difference between what was borrowed and what was his was not significant. Borrowing 80% of the power, coupled with the strength of the Lord himself, might even show a higher upper limit of power than his own soldiers.
However, unleashing the greater effects of Epic Skills or special talents was impossible by merely relying on temporary borrowing.
Like Uta’s Physical Shackles – Mu Yuan could borrow them, but without the preliminary shackles to train, once he incorporated it into his own template, the duration would be short, the side effects would be huge, and the gain wouldn’t be worth the loss.
Like the ‘management skills’ of Dead Bone and Hong Yi, he could only borrow a knock-off version, equivalent to the projection of 80% of the power, and since he didn’t build the ‘Holy Mountain’, or the ‘Ghost Market’ himself, of course, the use wouldn’t be as smooth as his own.
“When the territory advances to the fifth level, the Lord’s Power can undergo a transformation. At that time, not only can the power of the Lord be borrowed to enhance the army, but some borrowed abilities can also be consolidated. This is the fundamental point for the maturing of the Lord’s system.”
“But… ”
Power wasn’t such a non-flexible thing.
It was a long way from the Tianyuan Territory advancing to level five, and there were limits and insufficiencies in the Lord’s Power when it came to borrowing Epic Skills.
Since that’s the case, he wouldn’t wait for the update of the Lord’s Power anymore.
Why couldn’t he forge his own path?
Behind Mu Yuan, an illusionary mirage-like projection appeared.
