Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

However, before Luo Xuan could think further, a phone call interrupted his thoughts.

Seeing the three characters "Zhao Wenjie" on the caller ID, Luo Xuan clicked to answer.

"Hello, Captain Zhao, why are you contacting me all of a sudden?"

Luo Xuan quickly recalled what he had been doing recently and realized that he had been playing games at home. At most, he had gone to the gathering area to trade a few times, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

"I have something to tell you," Zhao Wenjie said in a low, weary voice from the other end.

Sensing the seriousness and formality in the other person's words, Luo Xuan also became serious and listened carefully to what the other person was about to say.

"The registration process was completed some time ago. Didn't I tell you before that the government would be taking big action?"

"Now it's here."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan's eyes narrowed as he recalled Zhao Wenjie's words.

Following the terrorist attacks in the Middle East, various countries have begun to strictly regulate domestic civilian forces and individual gamers.

However, control is not just about registration or issuing bans; the most important thing is to provide guidance in the overall direction.

"I wonder what the government will do?"

Luo Xuan was thinking rapidly, but he didn't speak, listening quietly.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Wenjie continued, "This time, the country is investing a lot of resources to establish specialized lord schools to cultivate outstanding talents."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan's eyes lit up. If the government were to establish a special school, things would be much more convenient in the future.

However, this also shows that the previous terrorist attack had a huge impact on all countries.

"I'm notifying you this time to tell you to prepare, because there will be an assessment later."

In Zhao Wenjie's view, Luo Xuan has a clean and clear background, and currently has a purple-quality soldier under his command with good potential, so he is willing to give him a chance to recommend him.

Of course, Luo Xuan wasn't the only one. Zhao Wenjie selected many outstanding talents this time, and Luo Xuan was just one of them.

After the news broke, various forces and organizations that had previously ignored it and refused to cooperate suddenly came knocking on their door, begging to register.

However, at this point, the roles of offense and defense have reversed, and it's Zhao Wenjie's turn to have a good grasp of them.

Hearing Zhao Wenjie's words, Luo Xuan was naturally pleased. "Don't worry, Captain Zhao, I will definitely take it seriously."

"However, I've only been a lord for a little over half a month, I'm still a complete newbie. Is the assessment difficult?"

Luo Xuan first stated his position, and then appropriately revealed a hint of concern.

"Don't worry, if we really build a school this time, it will definitely be different from a regular school."

Zhao Wenjie's words came through the phone: "I heard that it's not based on age, but on rank."

"For example, all first-level students are first-level lords, all second-level students are second-level lords, and so on."

Upon hearing Luo Xuan's words, Luo Xuan felt relieved. What he was worried about was encountering those high-ranking old men.

If he were only facing opponents of the same level, Luo Xuan would be quite confident with Azathoth by his side.

Of course, there are bound to be some who deliberately don't upgrade. Luo Xuan will treat them with caution, but he won't underestimate them.

However, all of this is contingent on passing the assessment.

According to Zhao Wenjie, this school construction is just a pilot project, so not many people will be recruited, and there will only be one class per grade.

Of course, considering the base number of first-level lords, the number of first-level students will also increase appropriately, possibly to two or three classes, but at most no more than one hundred people.

Just as the call ended, Luo Xuan's takeout arrived.

After quickly finishing his meal, Luo Xuan continued into the game and headed to the eastern forest.

Zhao Wenjie finally told Luo Xuan that the assessment would take some time, and the authorities were leading discussions among various factions regarding related matters.

Therefore, Luo Xuan wanted to hurry up. If he could evolve Lilith to legendary quality as well, then he would definitely be able to pass this assessment.

Upon arriving at the eastern forest, Azathoth and Lilith had already cleaned up the surrounding area.

Luo Xuan looked around but found no problems, so he prepared to lead them to continue exploring further east.

As they continued eastward into the forest, visibility worsened, and the monsters appearing in the surrounding area were no longer limited to spiders.

Clearly, Luo Xuan and his group were about to leave the territory of the spider monsters and enter other areas.

Due to the influence of the Blood Moon, once you encounter wild monsters, you will inevitably be attacked by them relentlessly.

To be honest, the monsters in the wild are not very strong. Most of them are ordinary monsters, and even the occasional elite monster is no threat to Azathoth and Lilith.

However, this is indeed very energy-consuming, requiring you to be constantly alert and pay attention to any movement around you.

Because nobody knows what they'll encounter next.

Luo Xuan missed the gray wolf's reconnaissance, but unfortunately the gray wolf was monitoring the northern wilderness, and the dense forest might not be suitable for the gray wolf to perform its duties.

Spiders, lizards, snakes, goblins, strange birds...

Luo Xuan encountered a large number of wild monsters deep in the forest, all kinds of them.

The vast majority of them are neutral monsters, and they are all very weak, which is the typical situation for neutral monsters.

Moreover, as they went deeper, the surrounding environment became somewhat eerie.

The leaves of the tall ancient trees are dry and yellow, and a few trees have died completely.

The change in environment made Luo Xuan realize that something was definitely wrong ahead, just like changing maps in other games, the difficulty would definitely increase a lot.

Realizing this, Luo Xuan did not act rashly. Instead, he led Azathoth and Lilith back a bit and then began to explore horizontally along this special "boundary line".

At first, Luo Xuan still held onto a sliver of hope—that this might have been caused by some powerful wild monster.

However, as the scope of the investigation expanded, the area where the trees had died also continued to expand.

At this point, Luo Xuan had to abandon any wishful thinking, because the environmental impact of such a large area had far exceeded the scope of an individual's influence.

From another perspective, if any wild monster could affect such a large area, its strength would be far beyond what Luo Xuan could possibly provoke.

Currently, there are enormous dangers deep in the forest, but there may also be enormous opportunities.

Unless there are no more monsters spawning, Luo Xuan is not prepared to take the risk of exploration now.

Since things have come to this, let's focus on killing monsters first.

Luo Xuan had Azathoth and Lilith split up to level up and grind monsters.

I just discovered a lot of new troop types that I've never seen before. I hope to get some cards from them. Luo Xuan is going to see if there are any good troop types worth training.

Seeing Azathoth and Lilith leave in two different directions, Luo Xuan wisely withdrew from the forest.
