The reason I came first is definitely because of my lord talent dropping sword shield soldiers and choosing to hoard promotion energy in a few rather than in plenty.
Zhou Zhou smiled, happy that his decision was right.
'A few lords might also have legendary-tier talents like mine, but theirs might become stronger at latter stages while mine is strong from the start.'
He thought.
He opened the world channel and started watching with a smile.
At this moment, the billions of cerulean planet lords on the world channel were discussing the announcement.
[Two 'firsts' in the entire channel! Blazing Shit! Tell me your secrets!]
[What the hell are you other top lords doing? Are you happy seeing a degenerate like Blazing Shit get all the glory!]
[I'm glad you know how useless you are. You need others to do that which you can never do. If I ever find you, I will make sure you scream painfully as I skin you alive. And then I will post the scene in the world channel!]
[Blazing Shit, how can you threaten someone with death? Were you a murderer back in cerulean planet?]
[That's right. Blazing Shit, how can you just let loose in 3 days since our arrival in High Continent? Have you forgotten the rules of our planet!?]
[Everyone, you've heard all that Blazing Shit said to me. We must come together and hunt him down, bringing down judgment on him!]
[I concur! Everyone, I, the Knight Lord, advocate for the hunt for Blazing Shit. If we can't trust our back to a fellow lord of our planet, then, how can we hope to deal with the lords of other races?!]
[Exactly! Everyone, use the hash tag - #huntforblazingshit]
[You're all grabbing at straws here. Blazing Sun might be a bit out of line at times, but that doesn't make him a villain. In fact, there's no one amongst us who have help more people than Blazing Sun has. Isn't that enough to erase every other faults of his?]
[That's right. I doubt 50% of us lords would've survived until now without Blazing Shit's meats!]
[It gladdens me to know that Odin prepares for a feast! Soon, I shall be drinking ale from curved horns! The hero that comes into Valhalla does not lament his death! I shall not enter Odin's Hall with fear! There, I shall wait for you all to join me. And when you do, I will bask in the tales of your sorrows. The Assyria will welcome me! My death comes without apology! And I welcome the Valkyries to welcome home!]
[The f*ck! Isn't that Ragnar's death speech!?]
[Looks like Blazing Shit don't give a shit about the campaign for his death! Now, that's what I call strength!]
[Or maybe he know that no amount of lords can hurt him if he never step out of the novice protective barrier]
[I don't care about the rivalry between the lords and Blazing Shit. What I care about is information about the scarlet lord. Can anyone explain?]
[I've heard from my subjects that the scarlet lord is the lord of the fog monsters. It's our archenemy.]
[Damn! I find the fog monsters difficult enough to fight, and Blazing Shit has already gone to deal with their leader. No wonder he doesn't give a f*ck about the call for judgment, no lord can defeat him.]
…
The Dragon Lady was silent as she looked at the discussion on the world channel on her plains.
For the past two days, she had been planning to occupy the territory of a foreign race lord.
She had already thought it through.
She would launch an official attack after she summoned another wyvern the day after as her subordinate!
She could publicize her lord talent as long as she succeeded.
She believed that with her fame on the cerulean planet, she would definitely be able to obtain a reputation that was not inferior to that of Blazing Sun.
At that time, she would use this reputation to get the other lords to work for her.
She would use this as a springboard to develop faster and stronger!
This cycle would continue and she would definitely be able to fight for the position of the lord of all races in the future!
However, in less than a day, this Blazing Shit had actually conquered another territory of the scarlet lord and once again appeared on the entire channel!
"What exactly could his lord talent be? Because it's definitely not that diamond-tier lord talent he publicized!"
"Could it be a legendary-tier lord talent? Or a Mythical-tier lord talent?"
Suzanne Margaret was puzzled.
Then, she calmed down.
"It's just a temporary lead. I'm in no hurry."
"I am the Dragonblood Queen appointed by the Supreme Will!"
"It won't be long before I catch up to him and surpass him!"
…
Elsewhere, in a cemetery.
Undead Lord Jack narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the chat content in the world channel.
"He actually took down the territory of a scarlet lord before me…"
There was also a scarlet lord's territory near his territory.
Originally, he planned to slowly weaken the other party's strength while waiting to advance to the Green bronze-tier elementary grade.
After he could enslave the Green bronze-tier undead, he would officially attack the other party's territory.
He didn't expect Blazing Sun to get the first so quickly.
"I have to speed up my development… Otherwise, all the benefits will go to this Blazing Shit." He said as he began to plot.
…
Zhou Zhou chuckled and turned off the world channel in the territory of the desert fog lizard leader.
Then, he opened the reputation ranking.
He was still ranked first with the advantage of his two 'first's. The rankings after that were not even occupied by any other lords.
"I'll get another loyal subject tomorrow with this reputation rating."
He was looking forward to it.
Then, he closed the reputation ranking and looked at the golden treasure chest that appeared out of thin air in front of him.
He resisted the urge to open it before keeping it aside.
When he's done with the loots, he would ask Sun Can and Qin We to bring it back to the territory and send it to his lord's wooden house.
A quarter of an hour later, he got the loots organized and placed in one of wooden carts pulled by the 4 mechanostrider.
The loots obtained include:
1,160 black iron-tier mist cores!
16 Green bronze-tier mist cores!
13,400 units of flesh (black iron-tier intermediate and advance grade)!
100 units of Green bronze-tier elementary grade!
1,280kg of water bag!
200 sword shield soldier class change certificates!
200 sword shield soldier recruitment books!
90 black iron-tier advance grade sand stealth techniques!
After that, he ordered the soldiers to search the territory of the scarlet lord for spoils.
Half an hour later, Bai Yung reported.
"My lord, the loot here has been organized."
"We found a total of 3,000 units of stone, 1,500 units of wood, 500 units of metal, and 1,000 units of fine sand here."
"We also found 357 black iron-tier mist cores and 6 Green bronze-tier mist cores!"
"Put them all in the empty wooden carts pulled by the mechanostriders and transport them back together." Zhou Zhou said.
The 4 wooden carts that he had brought today were purchased from a lord who claimed to have a professional carpenter.
It was not expensive either.
A wooden cart only required three units of black iron-tier elementary grade meat.
Zhou Zhou immediately had an idea to use the combination of [mechanostrider + simple wooden cart] to create a convoy to transport supplies.
In the future, he would be able to transport more resources and monster corpses back to his territory.
It seemed to be working quite well.
He walked out of the scarlet lord's wooden house and looked at the lonely building, feeling a little strange.
He seemed to remember there was more than one building here when he arrived.
"Could it be that the lord talent of the desert fog lizard Leader also has a special building which disappeared when it died?"
He thought.
Taking a glance at his army, he was impressed by the progress of the trio - Bai Yung, Lu Chong and Huang Sai.
After the battle, Bai Yung was short of 452 promotion energy to become a White silver-tier elementary grade spearman.
Lu Chong was 1,260 promotion energy away from leveling to the advance grade of green bronze-tier.
As for Huang Sai, he directly became a Green bronze-tier intermediate grade.
When we arrive back in the city, Bai Yung can directly advance to the White silver-tier.
Zhou Zhou smiled.
A moment later, the army began bringing the loot back to Blazing Sun City.
