183 Chapter - Eight Hundred Is Eight Hundred!
“The dwarf... the old man who forged the Life Weapon was a dwarf, right? He looked incredibly powerful.”
“If it were an Elf, that would be even better. They would be practically invincible in this Rainforest!”
“Undead aren't bad either. At least they have conventional undying methods, which are quite disgusting...”
“If nothing else, Goblin would also work. The Goblins in Deadwood City aren't as useless as the system describes; they also have strong individuals.”
“But if these troop types were truly compared, it would be hard to say who is stronger or weaker. However, if we're talking about the weakest, it would definitely be humans. Why is there even a human troop type among these options?!”
“With so many options, we can't be so unlucky as to...”
The next second, Bai Cheng and the two others simultaneously received the confirmed troop type after this random selection.
It was an image depicting a human male.
The three of them froze in place at the sight.
Yu Nian was the first to shriek, “Ah? Are you kidding me?!”
“Oh my goodness, why did it have to be humans?!”
She was on the verge of tears, but she didn't blame Bai Cheng.
Leng Ningxue, standing nearby, also frowned and stated a fact that all three of them knew but didn't want to admit.
“Human troops... they're the weakest of all troop types, aren't they?”
Bai Cheng also sighed, “I feel like this time, we've really been set up.”
Since it was a done deal, she could only reluctantly accept it.
But could these eight hundred human soldiers... truly compare to her few employees in combat power?
Bai Cheng couldn't help but doubt it, but she still said in a deep voice, “It's okay, at least we still have employees. Let's first see what the potential of these troops is.”
After speaking, Bai Cheng directly initiated the summoning.
Immediately, the entire room was filled with energy, and the barracks flashed with a dazzling white light.
These unknown elements began to gather, then formed human soldiers, each clad in animal hides or linen, and armed with long iron spears.
Fortunately, these soldiers didn't disappoint Bai Cheng further. At least after they were summoned, their formation was neat and orderly, solemn and dignified. It was clear they were a strong unit that had seen much combat.
Of course, their strength also depended on which race they were up against, and their equipment was truly quite poor... “Greetings, Lord!”
All the soldiers knelt and shouted in unison, their voices like thunder.
“Rise.” Bai Cheng waved her hand, then continued to ponder.
After summoning the soldiers, how should she develop them?
The strength of these human soldiers was completely evident before her current War General-level power.
There were eight hundred in total, with seven hundred and ninety-nine of them being merely Common-grade, essentially cannon fodder.
And the only one who seemed to be the leader, while higher in rank, was merely an early Elite-grade.
Could such a unit go out and clear out magical beasts? She'd be burning incense if they weren't cleared out by magical beasts instead!
“Lord, my name is Wang Da. I am the leader of this unit, and also your advisor on Liuhe Island. You can ask me anything you are unsure about.”
The sudden speech from the leader startled Bai Cheng and the two others.
They had originally thought that the summoned troops were merely like puppets, but they hadn't expected them to even know about their trial.
Bai Cheng was a little surprised and immediately got straight to the point, “How do we develop quickly?”
The other party immediately cupped his hands and respectfully replied, “Currently, everyone is still under protection. To create a gap between yourself and others within this limited time, the most important thing is to grind experience.”
Seeing Bai Cheng nod, he continued, “There are many ways to grind experience, including logging, building, killing wild beasts, and so on. At the same time, within these few days, you, Lord, will need to make correct decisions to ensure your army's food and drink so they can fully exert their combat power.”
Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow, “I have to manage their food and lodging too?!”
“Yes.” Wang Da nodded, “Most of the troop types here need to be provided for in terms of eating, drinking, and basic needs.”
“What about medals?” Bai Cheng asked again, “How do I obtain these, and how can I expand my army?”
Her words held no disguise of her disdain for the weak combat power of the eight hundred human soldiers.
Wang Da was quite helpless about this and continued to answer, “To obtain medals and summon armies, you must defeat neutral magical beast strongholds or other Lords.”
Bai Cheng knew that magical beast strongholds could not be attacked during the protection period, but she was more concerned about the opponent's strength.
“What is the strength of the magical beast strongholds?”
“Some are strong, some are weak. I cannot make a definitive statement on that.”
“Can five War General-level individuals handle them directly?”
Wang Da was startled, looking up at the beautiful Lord before him with some surprise. It took him a moment to react.
“This... I don't think there would be any problem. After all, neutral magical beast strongholds are just experience points for Lords.”
“Good!” Bai Cheng nodded, already understanding the next development path.
Afterward, she had a detailed discussion with Wang Da, learning more about the rules of this Lord game.
It was true that she had several War General-level employees, but according to the intelligence, this could only give her an advantage in the early stages.
Because the immediate reward for annexing a Lord was incredibly exaggerated.
In short, the growth rate of the army was very fast; almost every time a Lord was defeated, the overall strength would increase by one level.
The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous this Lord game would become for Bai Cheng.
Because her human troops were simply too weak.
After receiving this information, Bai Cheng belatedly realized something.
The reason she drew humans as her troop type was by no means simply bad luck. This was likely a balance made by the system for the different strengths among the Survivors.
Sure enough, she had been set up.
“This trial must not be prolonged; it must end as quickly as possible.”
Bai Cheng silently made up her mind, while looking at Wang Da and instructing him.
“During this one-day protection period, you will decide everything about how to develop, whether it's grinding experience, searching for magical beast strongholds, or even going out hunting for food. I will not interfere at all!”
Wang Da was slightly startled, then nodded, “Yes, I understand.”
Wang Da knew far more information than Bai Cheng, and he was extremely clear on how to develop.
Since they were all humans, Bai Cheng naturally wouldn't doubt his intelligence. Entrusting everything to him was the best choice.
Of course, there was another point: Bai Cheng had more important things to do.
The combat power of the human army was too weak, and she didn't intend to just stand by and watch.
“Eight hundred it is, then. Liuhe Island, let's go all out!”
Wang Da quickly led the army away from the castle, and at this moment, Leng Ningxue's reminder came from behind.
“Bai Cheng, you have a private message!”
