Jiang Chen's dragon squad was currently only at level 4.
The recent breath attack that lasted over ten seconds had already consumed most of their spiritual power.
At this moment, the dragon squad was following his orders, circling high in the sky to recover their spiritual power, while Jiang Chen confidently opened the town lord list.
Soon, he found Tushan Yueyue's avatar.
Jiang Chen didn't choose to video call but instead opened the chat interface.
Only then did he discover that this little fox had already sent him many messages.
09:29: "Hello, Jiang Chen brother, I'm Tushan Yueyue, you can just call me Yueyue. You're amazing, reaching Tier 1 so fast, can we be friends?"
09:45: "Can you handle a Tier 1 Beast Tide on your own? Need Yueyue's help?"
10:18: "The other party requested a video call... The other party canceled the video call..."
10:19: "Wuwuwu, Jiang Chen brother, why are you ignoring Yueyue?"
10:20: "Hello, hello, I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot."
12:20: "So much refined iron equipment, Jiang Chen brother is awesome..."
Looking at the little fox's messages, Jiang Chen's mouth twitched:
"Why does this little fox seem a bit silly..."
Jiang Chen: "Hello, Lord Tushan Yueyue."
The little fox quickly replied.
Tushan Yueyue: "Wuwuwu, Jiang Chen brother, you finally replied to me. Can you call me Yueyue?"
When it came to girls, Jiang Chen always went straight to the point.
"Alright, here's the thing, Yueyue, I need your help. This is a [Crusade Token] (click to view)... 10% of the sale price as your commission."
[Crusade Token]: After use, you can choose a territory to crusade against. Upon victory, you can plunder resources from that territory. Limited to one use per day.
Listening to Jiang Chen's plan, the little fox agreed immediately:
"Don't worry, Jiang Chen brother, Yueyue will complete the task. Hehe, Jiang Chen brother, you're selling the Crusade Token to your rival, you must be confident in your strength!"
Jiang Chen half-jokingly said, "If it's a blessing, it won't be a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. Might as well make some money while the Crusade Token is valuable."
Quickly, he spent 100 Spirit Stones to transfer the Crusade Token to Tushan Yueyue through the Exchange's [Covert Trade] module.
[Covert Trade]: The Exchange is not obligated to conceal transaction information unless you are willing to pay a sum of Spirit Stones.
From any angle, the little fox was the best partner.
And given his relationship with An Chuxia, selling the Crusade Token would inevitably raise suspicion.
Facts proved Jiang Chen's judgment was spot on.
The little fox was diligent, and within a minute, there was a result.
Tushan Yueyue: "Jiang Chen brother, mission accomplished, I sold the Crusade Token to Li Muze, and the Spirit Stones are being transferred to you!"
[Notification: Lord Tushan Yueyue sent you 45,000 Spirit Stones]
Jiang Chen was shocked: "How did you sell it for so much?"
Although Crusade Tokens were rare in the early stages, based on past experience, 10,000 Spirit Stones was already a sky-high price.
Did the little fox use her charm?
Tushan Yueyue: "Hehe, the Crusade Token itself isn't worth that much. But don't forget, whoever gets the first Crusade Token can be the first to plunder refined iron from your territory, then be the first to upgrade to Tier 2 and receive the Heavenly Dao reward. Also, Yueyue only took a 5% commission!"
Jiang Chen: "Thank you, Yueyue."
Tushan Yueyue: "No trouble, I made a profit too... Hehe, Jiang Chen brother, look, Li Muze used the Crusade Token on you."
Jiang Chen opened the Regional Channel.
[Lord Li Muze used a Crusade Token on Lord Jiang Chen. The battle will begin in 1 hour. Both lords, please prepare.]
In the Battlefield of Myriad Races, killing was not illegal!
And after a lord died, only if their strength had reached a certain level could they continue to exist as a hero; otherwise, they were truly dead.
So this message instantly caused a huge stir.
"Damn, a Crusade Token appeared so quickly!"
"Strange, I didn't see any transaction information! Did Li Muze kill a high-level boss and get it himself?"
"Li Muze is awesome!"
"Oh my god, is Li Muze going to kill Jiang Chen?"
"Jiang Chen might not necessarily lose, after all, the defending side has a strategic advantage!"
"Heh, what good is an advantage? Li Muze is from the Li Family of Donghai, he can easily deploy a rare unit to crush us commoners."
An Chuxia: "Li Muze, if Jiang Chen loses a finger, I'll kill your whole family!!!"
Li Muze: "Chuxia, don't misunderstand! I'm just here for some resources. As long as Jiang Chen knows what's good for him, I promise not to kill him!"
Faced with Li Muze's smug face, An Chuxia was helpless and could only worry.
These were the rules of the Battlefield of Myriad Races.
Moreover, although the Li Family wasn't as powerful as the An Family, the An Family couldn't really start a war with the Li Family over a commoner lord.
Li Muze continued: "Jiang Chen, listen up, you have one hour to prepare. I hope the amount of refined iron in your territory will satisfy me. Also, you are not allowed to resist. If one of my units dies, I'll destroy your territory; if two die, you'll stay in the Battlefield of Myriad Races forever."
Tushan Yueyue: "Wuwuwu, you promised not to harm Jiang Chen brother."
Li Muze: "Haha, girl, you're adorably naive!"
Jiang Chen chuckled.
This little fox had quite the talent for acting.
Wei Ming: "Jiang Chen brother, take a step back and the sea will be wide open!"
Mu Qingshuang: "If Jiang Chen joins the military now, I can immediately negotiate with the Li Family of Donghai on behalf of the military to at least ensure your safety."
These two were decent, but Jiang Chen didn't respond and directly closed the interface.
At this time, the dragons' spiritual power had also mostly recovered.
And after the recent onslaught, the Centaur Tribe had barely managed to form a battle formation, seemingly ready to make a last stand.
Jiang Chen glanced at the battlefield, then issued a command through the Lord's Heart:
"Coordinates (xxx, xxx), continue the dragon breath assault!"
After the Centaur hero was killed, the Centaur Warriors lost their command bonus, significantly weakening them.
The eight dragons continued to form a line, diving down, as terrifying black flames engulfed the land once more...
"Focus fire with arrows, take down a dragon first!" New chapters come out on g.com first.
"This is insane, these dragons actually know how to cover each other?"
"They're coming! Run for your lives... ah..."
The newly formed Centaur battle formation collapsed instantly.
After the dragon breath, another two hundred Centaurs were instantly killed.
This time, the dragons didn't ascend but landed directly on the ground to engage in melee combat.
Roar—
Led by Dragon Nine, the eight dragons' vertical pupils blazed with black flames, their bodies swelling in size.
[Berserker Heart]: Physique increased by 20%, lasting 60 seconds.
Physique: A comprehensive attribute evaluating strength, constitution, and speed.
The combat power of a level 4 Black Dragon had already reached a terrifying 56 stars, giving it an overwhelming advantage over level 7 or 8 elite monsters.
Now, with the activation of the burst skill, the gap widened even further.
Clang, clang, clang—
Most of the Centaur's arrows were deflected by the dragons' tough scales.
Even if some arrow skills pierced the scales, they were merely superficial wounds.
The battle was decided.
Jiang Chen slowly strolled up a hill, overlooking the bloody battlefield, his eyes calm and unruffled.
The Empress followed half a step behind, casually slicing a few Centaurs fleeing towards Jiang Chen into halves with a sword aura, then curiously asked:
"Lord, no need for captives?"
Jiang Chen shook his head: "No need."
According to Article 147 of the "People's Education Edition: Lord Fundamentals Explained":
[Surrendered heroes or units have weak combat will and a higher chance of rebelling again. Such units can be used as cannon fodder but have no training value.]
Although it wouldn't show on the panel, this was the experience of countless predecessor lords, and Jiang Chen had no reason to doubt it.
Moreover, the levels of recruited units and heroes would reset to zero.
Jiang Chen didn't want to waste energy training a bunch of traitors.
It was better to recruit anew.
Soon, the Centaur Tribe was completely scattered.
Dragon Nine led the dragon squad in pursuing the fleeing Centaurs.
Jiang Chen approached the Centaur Nest.
[Notification: Discovered wild unit building {Centaur Nest}]
[Ignore/Destroy/Occupy?]
"Occupy!"
The Centaur Nest was a ten-meter-tall structure, its outer walls carved with weapons like bows, axes, and spears, rugged and ancient.
After occupying it.
Jiang Chen could finally see the panel of this unit building.
