Chapter 459: Starting Location
Chapter 459: Starting Location
After an emergency meeting, the personnel heading to the Ascension Continent were also basically finalized.
Headed by Li Wei. Li Yue, Hathaway, Zhao Xuanxuan, and Thomas were counted as four subordinate generals. In reality, although they were Barons, they could not be counted as an independent faction, so they could not obtain the Troubled Times Pioneering Card.
Total number of people: 920.
This number did not violate the rules, because the mission rules only restricted the minimum number of people, and did not restrict the maximum number.
Theoretically, they were just like the late years of a Kingdom, with beacon fires of war rising from all sides, thirty-six Rebel Kings and seventy-two bands of outlaws! Having the largest stage and the strongest enemies, one could freely display their talents to the fullest. As long as one could keep winning, the final unified Emperor would be yours.
"The Blazing Legion currently has a total of two hundred Heavy Cavalry and three hundred Heavy Armored Infantry. Each Cavalry member carries three Resource Cards, and each Infantry member carries two Resource Cards. All can ensure a month's food supply."
At this time, Li Yue reported to Li Wei.
Next was Zhao Qingshan.
"The Logistics Battalion carries a total of five hundred One-Star Resource Cards, three hundred Two-Star Resource Cards, thirty Three-Star Resource Cards, and ten Four-Star Resource Cards. Among them, the Four-Star Resource Cards are large-scale material cards containing two Enchanted Catapults and eight Enchanted Giant Ballistae. In addition, one million units of Three-Star Stone Blocks, one million units of Two-Star logs, five hundred thousand units of lime binder, and five hundred thousand units of One-Star Enchanted Steel. If needed, we can construct four Small Fortresses, or two Medium Fortresses, or one large Fortress at any time within three months."
Then next was Zhao Xuanxuan."We currently have one thousand two hundred sets of Heavy Armor and medium armor in storage, plus various types of Weapons, enough to immediately arm one thousand two hundred people. However, Li Wei, your Royal Guard can have priority in changing into Five-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor or Four-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor."
Finally, it was Second Aunt. She very cautiously placed a full one thousand Two-Star Resource Cards in Li Wei's hands, then said earnestly, "Although you can obtain Logistics support once every half a year, Thrifty at Home, Generous on the Road. When out and about, you still need to prepare more surplus grain. The grain inside these are all the harvests of the Blazing Territory over the past few years, enough for your one thousand people to eat for five years! You don't need to worry about the home, everything is on me. But outside, you must be cautious, you must unite, and don't stir up any trouble."
"Also, Javier, Zhao Qingshan, you've all seen it now. Nelson, Linus, Benjamin, Santiago, these White-Eyed Wolves... they haven't even entered the Ascension Continent yet, but I dare bet they've already cried to the point of Collapse! What Useless as Chicken Feathers use can Three-Star plain Armor and Three-Star plain Weapons have in a world that might be Mid-Magic?!"
"Don't have any petty thoughts. Unit, be loyal, and hold fast to the bottom line of being a person, the foundation of being a person, and the conscience of being a person! Our Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords is a Neutral Lawful and leaning towards Good Faction. By betraying the oaths you once swore, that is self-exile and self-banishment! Of course, your choice this time is good, extremely good. The future you will thank your choice today!"
"But Li Wei, are you sure you're not bringing Paladin Mark? This guy's combat power is very strong, ah. Moreover, even on the Ascension Continent, the faith in the All Deities of the Heavens cannot be broken."
"Temporarily it's not needed yet. Second Aunt, just rest assured."
Li Wei smiled faintly. Second Aunt was truly the best mouthpiece. First cursing loudly, and now following up with earnest persuasion, the effect was quite good. Because the Troubled Times Pioneering Card had finally successfully displayed the Loyalty Level of all those waiting to depart.
The Loyalty Level of those five hundred Blazing Legion Soldiers exactly reached 51 points, just passing the passing line. They were counted as a whole, and it had a massive relationship with Commander Li Yue.
Li Yue's Loyalty Level towards Li Wei now was 100. If the main commander was loyal, the Soldiers would also follow in loyalty.
And the Loyalty Level of these five hundred Blazing Legion Soldiers towards Li Yue could all reach 70! This number was very high.
Javier, Seth, Jocelyn, and Duan Bowen, the four of them, were all promoted and conferred by Li Wei. Adding on that they had always been at Riverside Fortress, they didn't deal well with Nelson, Linus, and their gang. Regardless of what choice caused them to not undergo Status Renunciation previously, at this very moment, they still gave Li Wei a Loyalty Level of 50.
It seemed Loyalty Levels below 50 couldn't be displayed.
Zhao Qingshan was much purer; currently it was 70 points of Loyalty Level, but it was estimated that it would stay like this. While being hard to decrease, it was also hard to increase. Incidentally, the Loyalty Level of the Engineer Team under him towards Li Wei also reached 55, and towards Zhao Qingshan it reached 80. Perhaps this was the natural rationality of science professions.
Zhao Xuanxuan's Loyalty Level towards Li Wei was similarly 100. The Blacksmiths under her reached a Loyalty Level of 52 towards Li Wei, but their Loyalty Level towards Zhao Xuanxuan reached 90.
Thomas's Loyalty Level towards Li Wei was also 100.
As for Hathaway, her Loyalty Level towards Li Wei was 98. Chekhov and Liu Huan's Loyalty Level towards Li Wei was at 56.
This was what was only displayed for everyone enlisted in the Troubled Times Pioneering Card and preparing to depart.
Who knows what formula or data this result was based on, but it wasn't important anymore.
Precisely because the Loyalty Level of all members reached above 50, Li Wei anticipated that as long as they set up camp, they could obtain the "Unity and Fraternal Love" buff. This was quite good.
As for Mark, he represented the All Deities of the Heavens, so he couldn't run out at this time to scatter Li Wei's Loyalty Level.
Because Loyalty Level would fluctuate.
When it was only confirmed that Li Wei was the sole boss, and not following or not obeying would mean elimination, many people even with double hearts would act very loyal.
But if Mark existed, when people were confused they would seek Mark, this Paladin, and then loyalty would naturally be scattered.
Which insurgent army would court death by setting up two mountain strongholds right at the initial stage of starting their enterprise?
At this time, all preparations were in place. All that was left was waiting.
Even Adai was stored into a Five-Star Pet Card. And it's worth mentioning that previously, Benjamin, Xavier, Santiago, and the others all had a Four-Star Hunting Pet each. But after Status Renunciation, their Pet Cards were also confiscated, and the Hunting Pets were forcibly stripped of their binding relationship! A portion of the Status Renunciation Soldiers cried on the spot, some even rolling on the ground throwing a tantrum. Pity that Status Renunciation was the first step, and they had long been guarded against. They were directly forcibly teleported away.
Just like this, as time flowed by, the moment of departure arrived. From the sky above, a golden ray of light suddenly shone down. This was the Troubled Times Pioneering Card of Jiang Xinran, who had the Treacherous Minister Start, providing guidance.
There was fundamentally no need to operate or choose, just directly select 'follow'.
This golden light shone on the Troubled Times Pioneering Card in Li Wei's hand. The next second, a pale blue curtain of light enveloped and wrapped all 920 people waiting to depart like rolling seawater. Subsequently, beneath their feet, a mysterious Magic Teleportation Array appeared. Several Mages from the Nine-Star Council could vaguely be seen busily casting spells.
"Whoosh—"
The pale blue curtain of light disappeared, and the adventurer Legion composed of Li Wei and the other 920 Rebellious Officials and Treacherous Sons completely vanished from the spot, entering the Ascension Continent.
And for Li Wei himself, including Li Yue, Hathaway, Zhao Xuanxuan, and Thomas, the four of them, this kind of teleportation was sensation-less. They had long experienced it many times.
It was nothing novel, and moreover, the Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords' magical technology reserves in this area were quite well-developed.
In just one second, the crossing of dimensions and the jump across the starry sky were completed.
No one felt unwell, there was only anticipation and novelty.
However, after landing, the blue curtain of light from the Troubled Times Pioneering Card did not dissipate immediately, but continued to exist like a protective cover.
At the same time, a 24-hour countdown appeared on this blue curtain of light.
Clearly, this was like a novice protection zone.
At this time, Li Wei roughly took a look. The area occupied by the nine hundred and twenty-two of them was still quite large, a full one thousand square meters! Looking through the ground surface, this was a plain in early spring, the terrain was very flat.
As for the outside, it was an even larger, flat wasteland. Judging from the vaguely visible blue mountain ranges in the distance, entering the mountainous area would require at least two to three hundred li.
However, the vegetation outside was very vigorous! Although there were no dense forests, one could see independent tall trees growing in twos and threes, various brightly colored flowers, and at least—
"This is a typical Mid-Magic- World. In this kind of Mid-Magic- World, plain terrains similar to this typically have large settlements of intelligent creatures. In addition, this place is more like an amalgamation monster. I have currently already discovered forty-two kinds of wild grass and six kinds of trees. Among them, I've seen no less than fifty stalks of One-Star medicinal herbs. We really should have brought Widow."
Li Yue had already spoken up swiftly at this time. She had a Rare Five-Star Mountaineer Card. Mountain Folk, you see, were the most adept at things like gathering.
Even Li Wei was left far behind in the dust.
Yes, the gathering ability and advantage of the Woodcutter profession was only one-third of the Mountain Folk profession. The Hunter was the same. It was equivalent to his Hunter Card + Woodcutter Card only being able to reach two-thirds of the Mountaineer Card.
Not to mention Li Yue also had a Rare Five-Star Woodcutter Card.
"The difficulty of this world is very high, ah. Mid-Magic-, it's possible for Ancient Magical Constructs of Eight-Star difficulty to appear. Of course, it's too early to talk about this now. Li Wei, first take a look at the locations of the other friendly forces in our Insurgent Faction. Especially determine the locations of the four Tyrants, fifteen Treacherous Officials, and thirty-six Traitorous Generals."
"And I plan to take Javier, Seth, and Jocelyn, the four of us, to lead four squads of Heavy Knights to scout the surroundings first."
"But we also might alarm the powerful Magical Monsters or other magical intelligent creatures in this area. So I suggest Duan Bowen commands the remaining Blazing Legion to prepare for support. Of course, Hathaway, your Spellcaster Squad should be on alert at all times. If you can avoid taking action, don't take action, because the magical shockwaves you release will very likely attract even more powerful Magical Creatures."
"The above is what I wanted to say. Because this kind of Mid-Magic- environment is simply exactly the same as the hometown of the Neanderthal Barbarians!"
"Agreed. We'll follow this. Do we need to take out the Enchanted Giant Ballistae?"
Li Wei fully agreed with Li Yue's suggestion, because among everyone present, only Li Yue had participated in Cross-Border Missions many times, and only she knew this kind of environment like the back of her hand.
If not listening to her, then who else?
Regarding this, Hathaway naturally wouldn't have any objections, completely keeping in mind her positioning as a back-row Caster.
