On the morning of the eighth day, a notification sounded in everyone's ears, reaching the entire region.
[The first Abyss Riot is imminent. The level of Abyss leakage has increased, and the probability of encountering powerful demonic creatures will greatly rise in the near future. Please proceed with caution.]
Jiang Yan paused slightly before the gates of heaven, but ignored them.
These were all experiences from his previous life. The only difference was that it was more difficult to earn resources in the wild, but it didn't have much of an impact on him. In fact, it even brought some benefits.
After all, it's now much more difficult to venture deeper into those areas to kill silver bosses, which has indirectly increased the value of bronze advancement tokens.
"recruit!"
With a thought, Jiang Yan's 2.1 million units of faith power vanished.
Instantly, the entire Gate of Heaven trembled violently, bursting forth with unprecedented brilliance. Large spheres of pale golden light shot out, almost filling the entire surrounding space.
Jiang Yan watched this scene with some excitement. A full 420 angels—this fighting force was more than enough to handle any challenge to come. After that, he could confidently accumulate ten million Faith Power to upgrade the Gates of Heaven.
Soon, the golden light dissipated, and angels with two snow-white wings appeared in the spot.
Most of them wore uniform armor and long swords at their waists, with only a few being slightly different.
"Holy Lord, thank you for giving us new life." The exceptionally loud chorus made the dwarves working in the distance look up.
"Get up." Jiang Yan glanced at them and immediately understood.
There are a total of 405 war angels, 5 healing angels, 8 divine magic angels, and two rare preaching angels.
These angels have basically the same attributes, but they are good at different skills.
Besides the two types that have appeared before, the overall attire of the Divine Spell Angels is similar to that of Analia. They possess swords and holy scriptures and are skilled in various offensive and supportive holy light spells.
The preaching angels are the most distinctive; they hold a holy book in their hands, their expressions are devout, and they are skilled in the art of holy words.
The lower-level version of this skill, "Bewitching," is also known as a pyramid scheme in various realms.
They can subtly influence people to develop a favorable impression, and unconsciously make them agree with and practice what the other person says.
"Leave two healing angels, two divine magic angels, and 20 war angels behind. The rest will head directly to the Duchy of Hammank in the west. I will have Anna send someone to meet them and help them level up to Bronze rank or higher as soon as possible."
Jiang Yan considered it for a moment and decided not to send them to Yaberlik again.
The frequency of encounters with mutated creatures in the wild has increased, which is not necessarily safer than the frontal battlefield where defenses have already been established. Moreover, the number of these angels is enormous, and a single dragon may not be able to keep an eye on them all.
"For you we fight, Holy Lord." The angels bowed again, then formed a neat line and flew westward.
Only a small portion remained in place.
After asking them to wait a moment, Jiang Yan went to the undead half of the area and summoned 100 elite skeleton archers.
Along with two greatswordsmen with special skills, this was the force he planned to bring on this expedition.
He possesses the "Undead Domination" skill, which allows him to continuously replenish his manpower as long as he kills enemies.
"Destination: Wasteland, let's go!"
A uniquely assembled force headed east from Holy Spirit City.
......
Meanwhile, on the south side of a magnificent city, in a mirror-like replica of a forest.
A young girl with a noble air, delicate features, and wearing a pale yellow dress stood on a dragon, her brows furrowed.
In front of her, more than twenty massive earth dragons were fighting a group of ogres. Above each earth dragon was a knight in heavy armor wielding a spear nearly three meters long, accurately stabbing and killing enemies one by one.
"How come there are so many of these ugly things? We can't kill them all." Luo Qianyu grumbled in dissatisfaction, and forcefully banged her staff on the earth dragon at her feet a few times.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and a dragon rider was sent flying, dragon and all. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the people nearby who stopped him, he would probably be in grave danger.
Luo Qianyu looked over and saw an exceptionally tall ogre swinging a large club, knocking back several people and retreating back into the forest. The other ogres also roared and turned to run away.
"It ran away again! That damn thing, how can a Silver-rank mini-boss be so intelligent!" Luo Qianyu said unwillingly, urging everyone to retreat.
She had already fought this ogre tribe many times. Each time, their chieftain would hide and launch a sneak attack, retreating immediately if he missed. She had lost two earth dragon knights because of this.
As for pursuit, that's impossible. The forest is densely wooded and teeming with miasma, making it extremely unsuitable for the Earth Dragon Knight to perform its duties.
"Looks like I'll have to buy that annoying guy's bronze token. He actually blocked me." Luo Qianyu reluctantly opened the Interdimensional Trading Center.
Given her status, she was well aware of the benefits of the ranking system. Her elders had repeatedly warned her to at least stay in the top three.
"Forget it, it's just one epic-level blueprint anyway... Hmm, I might as well exchange them both, that way no one can threaten me for a while." Luo Qianyu quickly made her decision, took out two blueprints and put them into the "All Realms" space, and selected to trade.
She has plenty of these things, so she doesn't care at all.
After completing the assessment, in addition to the share that royal children should receive, there were also extra resources given by various royal elders and retainers. She even had three legendary blueprints, not to mention epic ones.
"It's a pity that the first legendary blueprint yielded a building related to my profession, and the profession only becomes powerful after advancement. Otherwise, why would I have bought this annoying guy's stuff?" Luo Qianyu looked at the bronze token in her hand and sighed softly.
Her kin are epic-level earth dragon riders.
The related legendary buildings can recruit advanced units, Wyvern Knights and Dragon Knights, which are much stronger than Earth Dragons.
Even with the resources of the Star Empire, they only had time to prepare two Demon God Hearts for her, which could be exchanged for 20,000 Soul Crystals.
A legendary building requires at least 10,000 soul crystals, and with the recruitment costs, she still hasn't gathered enough resources for the second blueprint.
"Just wait, first place will be mine sooner or later!" Luo Qianyu looked at the ranking on the leaderboard, not discouraged.
She knew far more secrets about the various realms than Jiang Yan, who came from a small town.
......
On the other side, some of the top-ranked lords, after yet another failed attempt to defeat the boss, fled back to their bases in disarray.
Some of the wealthy among them reluctantly took out an epic-level blueprint and opened the Interdimensional Trading Center to purchase the bronze token that Jiang Yan had hung up.
"This is outrageous! This stuff becomes worthless later on, completely overpriced, yet they dare to sell it for the price of an epic blueprint. It's outrageous. But oh well, at this price, probably no one will compete with it..."
"Wait a minute!!! Didn't we agree to boycott Jiang Yan together?!"
"Where is my Bronze Token?"
