Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 553: Chapter 226: Purchasing Treasure Horses and Forming Cavalry

These Elemental Masters all have over a thousand Spiritual Power; it’s obvious they’ve cultivated some sort of Meditation Skill for Spiritual Power.

When the time comes, I’ll borrow their Meditation Skill and let the Little Kiddos cultivate it.

”Fellow Elemental Masters, you probably already know my intentions. That’s right—I want to recruit you! I also understand you won’t pledge Loyalty immediately, so I’ll have to inconvenience you for now. During this period, you’re free to move about the city as you please—I hope you come to like it here!”

Yi Tian looked at the ten Elemental Masters, their faces filled with confusion, and spoke slowly.

”Honorable Lord, I know our situation, and understand this is the price of our defeat. Tian Xin is willing to fight for the Lord; I only ask that you grant us dignity and don’t treat us like slaves.”

Tian Xin stepped forward and spoke first.

The Cyan Celestial Adventure Team is a Venerable Level Adventurer’s Guild mainly composed of Elemental Masters.

Originally, they were headed out on an adventure when suddenly the higher-ups ordered them to attack a Lord’s territory.

In the end, the higher-ups got killed, and their comrades died tragically.

That Lord didn’t seem to intentionally slaughter them, just captured them.

”Of course! In my territory, as long as you’re willing to fight for me, I treat everyone the same.”

So many Lords insult and abuse slaves, which only leads to rebellion and suicide—Yi Tian had heard about such cases quite often, even just in Zone 66, let alone the entire Celestial Dao World.

While slaves aren’t as strong as Lords, cases of Lords being killed by slaves turning on them are common as well.

Tian Xin is a mature, beautiful woman. Just looking at her, you’d never guess she’s a Frenzied Thunder Attribute Elemental Master.

Yi Tian checked Tian Xin’s Loyalty—55. He knew she wasn’t just talking out of her ass.

After she adapts to the territory, her Loyalty will exceed 60. Once she understands his character and the territory’s system, her Loyalty will only rise higher.

Yi Tian’s territory had just what Tian Xin needed—the Thunder Spirit Bead.

Silver Wood Gold Tea and Enlightenment Tea are also very useful for Elemental Masters.

”I’m also willing to join the Lord’s territory.”

Bing Yun seemed very close to Tian Xin. Tian Xin pulled her, and she spoke up to Yi Tian.

Her temperament matched her attribute—she doesn’t like to talk. She’s also rather cold and beautiful.

Yi Tian checked: Bing Yun’s Loyalty is 51.

Bing Yun was the most talented Elemental Master—Yi Tian valued her highly!

The other eight didn’t know what decision to make. Seeing Yi Tian didn’t seem all that strong, they had the same concerns Oriental Five Brothers had when they first arrived.

”You don’t need to answer right away, and I won’t force you. You may get to know my territory first.”

Yi Tian smiled slightly. After he said this, he turned and left.

There needs to be a period of adjustment.

The monthly assessment is still some time away—Yi Tian has plenty of time.

Yi Tian started sorting through the items in the Treasure Chest. Anything needing to be planted, he took to the flowerbeds, and the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he planted in the two acres of Top-level Soil at the rear.

After another two hours, just before dusk, Gu Qianqiu reported the battle losses and spoils of war to Yi Tian.

”Reporting, Lord: We lost eighty brothers in this battle and had more than three hundred and fifty lightly or severely wounded. The Ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng Root you stored with me is almost depleted—if not for that, we would’ve lost twenty more brothers.” Gu Qianqiu first reported the casualties to Yi Tian.

The territory had plenty of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures for healing, but those on their last breath could only be saved by the Ten-thousand-year-old Golden Ginseng and Thousand-Colored Cloud Flower.

”It’s fine. There are two more Golden Ginseng plants growing under the Shatang Spirit Tree. Take and use them when needed. Bury the fallen members on Hero Mountain.”

Eighty of them—most were from Yue Fei’s army and the Dragon Sparrow Guard. Yi Tian was saddened; they didn’t live to see the day the Mist cleared.

”Yes, Lord! This time, a hundred Elemental Warriors were destroyed, and twenty Three-dimensional Combat Soldiers were destroyed. The Warrior Cores are all intact.”

Gu Qianqiu opened his backpack and carefully stored all the Element Cores.

Yi Tian nodded, signalling Gu Qianqiu to continue his report.

Once things quieted down, Yi Tian planned to remanufacture all the Warriors. He had all their blueprints.

”Reporting, Lord: This time we captured more than 15,000 B-level Warriors from Demon Wolf Abyss, more than 250 A-level Warriors, and besides Lang Chu’Er, there are three wounded S-level Warriors.”

”We captured more than 1,100 B-level Great Fei Kingdom soldiers.”

”The corpses of Demon Wolf People and the Great Fei Kingdom soldiers in the lake have all been piled up.”

The Great Fei Kingdom soldiers—any A-level and above either died or escaped; the Profound Turtle and Water Qilin couldn’t stop them.

Gu Qianqiu didn’t report any more about the Sea Kingdom and Liger Alliance incidents—those were already resolved.

”It seems Demon Wolf Abyss doesn’t care much about the Demon Wolf People’s lives. With so many B-level Demon Wolf People, do you think they’ll come ransom them?”

After their Commander-in-Chief and S-level experts were killed or wounded, the Demon Wolf People collapsed in defeat.

So many were captured.

Yi Tian was getting a headache from the sheer numbers—not because he was worried about feeding them, since he could always buy extra at the auction house; money was no issue. The main problem was the Celestial Prison couldn’t hold them all.

Without the prison’s restraints, that many Demon Wolf People would eventually cause trouble. The Warriors had no time to return to the Soldier King Pavilion.

”This time we gained over 50,000 B-level Divine Weapons, 1,170 A-level Divine Weapons, and 35 S-level Divine Weapons. Over 1,000 sets of armor of various grades, 14 intact A-level Bows, and 1,500 perfect A-level Shields. All other damaged shields, armor, and Divine Weapons have been sent to the Special Metal Dismantling Plant.”

”We also seized more than 50,000 Siege Ropes, 5,500 Bronze Assault Boats, and 50 Silver Assault Boats.”

”We acquired 250 S-level Beast Cores, 1,450 A-level Beast Cores, 18,700 B-level Beast Cores, and 25,200 C-level Beast Cores. These were confiscated from the Great Fei Kingdom, Sea Kingdom, and Liger Alliance—the Demon Wolf People themselves had no Beast Cores.”

While Yi Tian was stressing about the Demon Wolf People, Gu Qianqiu continued reporting the spoils of war.
