Chapter 547: Global Proclamation
Half an hour later, Hathaway returned in a hurry, looking somewhat exhausted, yet also a bit hyperactive. Her condition was not quite right, but from another perspective, her condition was actually at its best, like being drunk and unleashing an ultimate move.
"Are you alright?"
Li Wei asked uncertainly. Doing a Triple Rare enhancement on a Profession Card and upgrading a Combat Card was not an easy task. Hathaway was currently functioning in a role similar to a Life-Bound Farmer Card.
The requirements for Spiritual Power and Inspiration were extremely high. So had she taken some strong Spirit Elixir?
"I'm fine, the enhancement went smoothly. Sister Yue's Knight Card has already been enhanced to Triple Rare, and her Combat Card has successfully upgraded to an Aurora Knight. Next, she only needs ten years to sort out the issue of Hidden Attribute Conflicts, and her future will be bright."
Hathaway smiled, then looked at Li Wei, who was still maintaining control over the remaining Origin Particles, "You need to reserve thirteen for yourself, which leaves thirteen that still need to be handled. What do you think of He Yibo? He is a 4th-Tier Night Warrior. Besides an Aurora Knight, we must also have a comprehensive Aurora Warrior—a true frontline Warrior who can push Shield Parry to the limit and even parry back the ultimate move Fire Meteor."
"I'm not sure. Different professions are like different mountains; I really don't understand this." Li Wei said helplessly. He could also engage in melee, but compared to a true melee combatant, they weren't on the same level.
As explosive as his ranged attacks were, a 4th-Tier Radiant Warrior's melee output would be equally explosive.
"What is He Yibo's Loyalty Level? Or rather, do you think he is worth cultivating?"
Hathaway asked again. This was very important, as it concerned the candidates for the future ten-man squad for Cross-Border Missions."His current Loyalty is 95, so there's definitely no problem. Moreover, he is a person of resolute character, steady and experienced, otherwise I wouldn't have given him Founding Shares. He can be cultivated."
"Alright, having your word is enough. Then allocate ten Origin Particles to him for the Double Rare enhancement of his two Profession Cards. Sigh, his foundation is too poor. Giving him an Aurora Warrior Card is such a loss, you know? He can only barely be enhanced to a Dawn Warrior, but this is an Aurora Warrior Card!"
Speaking up to here, Li Wei could clearly feel that Hathaway's emotions had fluctuating stages, so he comforted her, "Then let's wait a bit longer, don't rush. Next, we will have enough time to figure out a way to elevate him to a Dawn Warrior, and it won't be too late to use the Aurora Warrior Card then."
However, immediately upon hearing his words, Hathaway reacted strongly, like someone drunk getting flustered and anxious.
"Forget it, Li Wei. You still don't quite understand human nature. When bestowing favors, what you want is to achieve in one step; small favors hold no meaning. Additionally, is it because you upgraded too fast yourself that you treat the Dawn prefix like cheap cabbage? Right now, within our entire territory, aside from you having the Radiant prefix and Sister Yue and I having the Aurora prefix, is there a second Dawn? Do you know how hard it is just to advance to Dark Moon?"
"Back then, Mountain Eagle Parker was so awesome, but how many Dawn prefixes did he have under him?"
"If we wait for He Yibo to scrape things together himself, and with your help enhance to Dawn, do you believe that by that time, even if you give him this Aurora Card, his Loyalty will at most be fixed at 99? If we go by your logic, directly selecting one from your Guard Legion is the most suitable. Give him fifty years, and fifty years later I guarantee you an Aurora Warrior."
Spitting out a whole bunch in one breath, Li Wei could only remain silent. Hathaway's emotions were running high right now, and anything he said would trigger her. He wondered what kind of medicine she had drunk?
Sure enough, in the next second, Hathaway covered her forehead, looking somewhat pained, "I'm sorry, this is a Five-Star Spirit Elixir specifically prepared for me by Second Aunt. Its effects are very domineering, and it just makes me very hyperactive... Where were we just now?"
"Fifty years. Right, fifty years is too long. The enemies and opponents won't give us fifty years."
"Therefore, there is no such thing as perfection. Let's just choose He Yibo. I'm sorry, it's just that I was blinded by this room full of Origin Particles, hehehe!"
Hathaway took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a few seconds, and when she opened them again, she reached out her hand toward Li Wei, "Give me that Aurora Warrior Card. Bestowing favors like this should be done in one step."
"Can you withstand it? How about swapping Tucker in?" Li Wei was somewhat worried. Hathaway's speech just now truly seemed a bit unsteady.
"Tucker? A 3rd-Tier Caster whose Mage Card is only of Dark Moon quality? Li Wei, stop joking. Perhaps his experience and knowledge are slightly richer than mine, but in terms of practical operation, I can stomp three of him! I know my emotions are a bit out of control right now, but you should believe in a 3rd-Tier Caster who possesses a Radiant Mage Card. The opportunity is just this once, and destiny resonates only once. Li Wei, you don't know how much I love you. For our future, don't hesitate. At worst, I'll just fall into a deep sleep for a year or half afterwards..."
Hathaway's condition was already exhibiting a certain kind of hyperactivity, akin to the state after drinking too much, but compared to being drunk, her current state was indeed like unleashing an ultimate move. Although she seemed frenzied, her abilities and potential were temporarily elevated to their peak because of it.
So nothing more could be said. Li Wei directly handed over that Aurora Warrior Card, and Hathaway swept up ten Origin Particles and rushed out...
Sigh, a Caster who is not crazed cannot become a demon.
Li Wei didn't know what to say.
Next, he called over A Su, Tucker, and the Paladin Mark, and gave them one Origin Particle each, thus distributing the thirty-six Origin Particles.
As for the final ten Origin Particles, he chose to continue enhancing the Woodcutter Card, elevating it to the highest level, which is Triple Rare (he remembered incorrectly before).
The price was Farmer Destiny -20 becoming 40, Woodcutter Destiny -20 becoming 35, Gold Command Token -1, and Origin Particles -10. The price was quite steep.
However, the gains were also massive. The Destiny cap went from 150 to 200, the maximum capacity for Nature Particles became 7, and he gained an additional +5 Free Attribute Points. Counting the Triple Rare enhanced Scout Card from earlier, he had accumulated another ten Free Attribute Points.
But the Woodcutter Card couldn't increase his Perception cap anymore. Instead, the effect of Magic Suppression increased by another 5%. Calculating it like this, his All-Element Magic Immunity had already reached 75%!
This was the most important thing.
Because based on his attempts outside over the past month, 70% All-Element Magic Immunity was still a bit weak...
After more than half an hour passed, Li Wei's heart suddenly stirred. He opened the Pioneering Card and saw that He Yibo's Loyalty Level had already risen to 100, and even A Su and Tucker's Loyalty Levels had both risen to 95.
It seemed Hathaway had successfully upgraded both his Profession Cards and Combat Card. Ascending to the heavens in a single step, he directly became a Dawn Warrior.
On this point, Hathaway was very correct; bestowing favors like this was suited to be achieved in one step.
His three hundred Guard Legionnaires were also harvested through a one-time rescue. Otherwise, if the same magnitude of favor had been divided into a thousand portions, giving one portion a day, it would have had the opposite effect.
A handful of rice breeds gratitude, but a sack of rice breeds enmity!
"Li Wei, I need a good sleep. Don't worry about me, I'm just excessively overdrawn on my Spiritual Power and Inspiration. Sleeping for a year or half will do..."
At this time, Hathaway walked back with a calm face, looking extremely normal, but in the next second, she collapsed into his arms and became a sleeping beauty...
Li Wei smiled bitterly. She was really going all out, but this was what a smart, home-managing mistress should be like.
With her around, she truly solved many thorny troubles for him.
Next, Li Wei settled her into bed and planned to go out and inspect the fortress. Until Hathaway woke up, he wouldn't be able to take the Guard Legion out for training and combat.
Suddenly, several messages popped up unexpectedly. It wasn't a Faction Notification, but a Global Proclamation!
[Global Proclamation]
[Under the cover of the Great Frost, the Neanderthal Giant Crocodile Tribe amassed a grand army and launched a surprise attack on the Rebellious Officials and Treacherous Sons faction of the former Kingdom of Sarleon. In just three short days, they breached six fortress cities, killed four former Marquises and two former Counts, and slaughtered one hundred thousand in battle, including Donovan, the legitimate eldest son of former Duke Brennus! Of course, the Great Frost also caused horrific battle casualties for the Nean army, with at least ten thousand Nean soldiers freezing to death alive.]
[Everyone in the former Kingdom of Sarleon, from Tyrant Ulrich downwards, is uniformly shocked. They will have to face a cruel reality: compared to internal fighting, external enemies are the most terrifying.]
[Global Proclamation]
[Not long ago, former King Locke, Tyrant William, dispatched an Ice Legion completely unafraid of the Great Frost to launch a surprise attack on the capital city of Rogge and the surrounding areas. In ten days, they successfully took down four fortress cities consecutively, and ultimately breached the capital city of Rogge in one vigorous effort, slaughtering fifty thousand in battle and capturing thirty thousand! Marquis Rogge, the heir to Duke Juniper, was captured, but was personally persuaded to surrender by Tyrant William. From now on, Marquis Rogge will serve Tyrant William in the capacity of an Imperial Chiliarch.]
[Under the threat of Tyrant William's Ice Legion and the persuasion of his son Rogge, former Duke Juniper chose to surrender his entire army. He will withdraw from the empire's struggle for hegemony and henceforth enter the Nine-Star Council.]
[Tyrant William's World Reputation has exceeded 5000 points and is currently 'At the Zenith of Power'. At the same time, because he now has 20 Imperial Centurions, 5 Imperial Chiliarchs, 2 Imperial Mages, as well as an army of one hundred thousand and a population of one million under him, he officially proclaims himself the legitimate heir to the Orson Empire. Anyone holding the identity of an Imperial Centurion can go and seek refuge with him!]
What!
Looking at these two Global Proclamations, Li Wei was shocked for a long time.
He thought that the Great Frost blanketing the world for ten years would be a good time to rest, recuperate, and develop. He didn't expect there would be so many ruthless people.
The Neans were truly ruthless!
This wave was roughly equivalent to completely uprooting the remaining forces of Duke Brennus from the Kingdom of Sarleon.
Coupled with the advantage from previously ambushing and killing Duke Brennus, the Neans' arrogance was blazing high!
And on this side, after biding his time for nearly a year, Tyrant William finally played his trump card—yes, the Frost Duke!
Li Wei's former old rival, a true magic genius!
No wonder!
No wonder!
As expected, Tyrant William came prepared. If he didn't have enough confidence and preparation, how could he have rashly initiated the Orson Empire Reconstruction Mission?
Now, he wouldn't strike unless he was sure, but once he struck, he directly leveraged the power of the Great Frost to wipe out a Duke in one fell swoop.
Now, what remained in this corner of the Grand Map was only the Duke Will Faction and the Duke Kaidel Faction.
Li Wei even had a premonition that the mysterious army led by the Frost Duke would arrive very soon.
With a population of one million, an army of one hundred thousand, wherever the edge of their weapons pointed, who would dare to act recklessly?
