Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

The appearance of the kobold warlocks made Luo Xuan waver slightly about the upcoming extermination plan.

Luo Xuan knew that with the troops he currently had, he couldn't possibly defeat the kobold sorcerer without taking any damage.

However, Luo Xuan insisted on continuing the extermination efforts in the end.

Because his territory is currently in a poor location, he doesn't have many development options available to him.

In addition, Zhang Ziming's situation at the class reunion also gave Luo Xuan some stimulation, making him feel considerable pressure.

If he didn't take advantage of the present to develop his territory, and the surrounding monster forces grew stronger and stronger until they became unmanageable, Luo Xuan felt that he might collapse.

In order to prevent such a situation from occurring and to survive, Luo Xuan was prepared to pay a price.

Apart from Azathoth, Luo Xuan can sacrifice all other unit types, even the two goblins that haven't been summoned yet.

If Luo Xuan can open up a passage to Falling Moon Canyon, he might be able to obtain enough resources for development using the Falling Moon Stones.

Through the forum, Luo Xuan learned that these lords were recognized by the respective major powers.

For example, Luo Xuan and Tianxuan Territory. After Luo Xuan completed the lord trial and became a formal lord, he automatically became a lord of the Tianyu Empire.

Although he was only a low-ranking lord, he was already part of the ruling class.

As long as he doesn't make any major mistakes, the imperial forces won't bother him; they might even offer him some conveniences.

In other words, as long as Luo Xuan overcomes the current difficulties and clears the road to Falling Moon Canyon, he will be able to contact the Tianyu Empire's garrison outside Falling Moon Canyon.

Regardless of how much help they will receive, at least they will have more security in the future.

Of course, this was all just speculation by Luo Xuan based on information from the forum; the specific situation could only be known by contacting the imperial garrison.

However, this was already worth Luo Xuan's attempt.

After making his decision, Luo Xuan spent the next few days clashing with the kobold camp, relentlessly hunting down the sentries outside the camp.

Once Luo Xuan spotted a large-scale mobilization of kobolds or the presence of kobold warlocks, he immediately lay in wait and remained still.

In this way, Luo Xuan killed more than 20 kobolds one after another, and obtained several portions of [Omnivorous] and a [Kobold] card.

Luo Xuan put the cards away and used the omnivorous food directly as food for the gray wolves.

After so many battles, Azathoth successfully leveled up to level 3, and his attributes increased once again.

However, the gray wolf and the two river spirits are still at level 1, and Luo Xuan has not yet figured out the experience distribution system.

However, Luo Xuan didn't care. Since he was already prepared to take the elite route, it was just what he wanted to do to allocate all his experience to Azathoth.

After several days of hunting, the kobold warlocks seemed to have noticed something was wrong, as there were very few lone kobolds around anymore.

Now, whether it's sentries or patrolling kobolds, they're all in groups of five, making it difficult for Luo Xuan to make a move.

Seeing this, Luo Xuan knew that a tough battle was about to begin. He first arranged for his troops to return to their territory to rest, and then he logged off to rest as well.

Luo Xuan made himself a bowl of instant noodles and ate while browsing posts on the forum.

Through these days of reading, Luo Xuan has gained a better understanding of the forces on the continent of Aetheran.

The Tianyu Empire, where Luo Xuan lived, was a monarchical state where all the lords, large and small, within its borders were unconditionally loyal to the emperor.

The main unit type is human, and their individual combat strength is not outstanding, but they are very good at large-scale group operations.

As for the neighboring Kingdom of Saint Loen to the north, it is a country where divine authority suppresses monarchical authority.

Although the main unit type is human, there are a large number of Holy Light magic and auxiliary units such as priests and sorcerers.

As for the third human faction, the Ochis Commercial Federation, it is a country that focuses on commerce and trade.

The Federation boasts a prosperous economy and thriving commerce, with its alchemy technology being particularly advanced.

The main types of troops are various manned machines and siege golems.

At the same time, the Federation also had a system of slavery, with a considerable number of elven slaves and a large number of beastman slaves within its borders.

Therefore, the relationship between the Federation, the Radiant Court of the Elves, and the Grol Empire of the Orcs was extremely hostile.

However, the Orc Empire is located to the east of the Kingdom of Saint Loen and the Heavenly Feather Empire, and is far from the Federation.

As for the Elven race, which is separated from the Federation by only a strait, only a small group of radicals within the race have attempted to launch a few attacks.

However, all of them were blocked by the Federation's extensive alchemy technology.

This is also one of the major divisions within the Elven race.

As for the Orc Empire in the far east, it was established relatively recently and was formed by the union of various original tribes.

Although the orcs are brave and skilled in battle, there is no strong figure who can unite the strength of the various tribes.

Therefore, the Orc Empire was suppressed in the barren lands of the far east by the combined forces of the Kingdom of Saint Loen and the Heavenly Feather Empire.

In addition, the Naga people occupy the ocean, while the Dwarves lead a large number of underground races to occupy the underground.

These are the major powers on the continent of Aetheran. In addition, if you travel north across the Turbulent Sea, there is said to be a remote and uninhabited ice plain in the far north.

While eating instant noodles, Luo Xuan was engrossed in reading various posts on the forum.

Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated. Luo Xuan picked it up and saw that it was Zhao Wenjie.

"Hello, Captain Zhao, what can I do for you?" Luo Xuan answered the phone.

"Here's the thing, I've already reported Zhang Ziming's case for you, so you can be credited for that."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan's face lit up with joy, but before he could speak, Zhao Wenjie continued:

"We found a prop on Zhao Wenjie that I think you might be interested in."

"So I'm asking if you want to use up this merit to exchange for it."

At the same time, Zhao Wenjie also sent Luo Xuan a photo and a description via his mobile phone.

The picture shows a jet-black pendant that looks completely unremarkable.

Luo Xuan glanced at the picture and then looked at the text description.

[Summoning Necklace]: Can summon a Tier 1 unit.

The written instructions were not complicated, and were even quite simple, but Luo Xuan was instantly stunned.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wenjie's voice came slowly from the other end of the phone: "As you can see, this is why Zhang Ziming, as a new lord, is able to summon troops in reality."

"It might be somewhat useful in the early stages, but it becomes useless once you upgrade to a second-tier lord."

Zhao Wenjie was quite kind, telling Luo Xuan about the advantages and disadvantages of the necklace.

In his view, such items, which can only be used by low-level units, are not very valuable, and they also limit the summoning of only one Tier 1 unit.

However, this was just right for Luo Xuan.

"I'll take it!" Luo Xuan said without hesitation.
