Chapter 7: The Strong and the Weak

She also had lofty ideals.
Regarding her generosity, she was only trying to gain the favor of the other Castle Lords to increase her influence and reputation.
She was not a saint. She had always been helping the other Castle Lords. To be honest, she did not have the strength or energy to do so.
In this foreign world where ten thousand races competed for hegemony, everyone was selfish. Everyone would only do it for themselves.
Using some food as an investment in the early stages to gain the favor of some Castle Lords and expand her popularity was a generous reward for her.
As long as she became famous and established her reputation in the circle of Castle Lords, it would be easier for her to rope in other castle lords in the future competition.
Then, she would let them surround her and serve her castle.
The more Castle Lords she had, the stronger her castle would become.
This way, she would be able to stand higher and further away.
However, looking at Mike’s actions, he had closed himself off to the circle of Castle Lords. In the future, it would be difficult for him to gain the support of other Castle Lords.
In her opinion, Mike must have a top-tier army.
He was the same type as her.
They were all qualified to stand at the top of this world.
They were definitely worthy of being roped in and befriended.
Bella still wanted to befriend Mike.
Even if he could not work for her, at least they could form an alliance.
“If there’s a chance, I should remind him.”
“I can’t just look at the present. The future is the most important.”
Bella thought to herself.
At this moment, a deafening explosion sounded from afar.
The little angels that Bella had sent out quickly retreated, each dragging a bison in their hands.
Her bright eyes narrowed slightly.
“It’s the tier 4 elite bison boss from yesterday!”
“Right now, only two of my angels are tier 3, and the other three are only around tier 2.”
“I’m still far from being its match. Let’s wait a little longer.”
“I’ll have the ability to kill her in a few days.”
“I wonder what this bison boss will drop?”
“I hope it’s not just energy stones. If it drops strange crystals, that would be the best.”
Looking at the distant plains, Bella’s heart was gradually filled with anticipation.
Strange crystals were also one of the materials used to upgrade military buildings. However, compared to energy stones, they were a little rarer.
It would be very difficult to drop strange crystals from ordinary wild monsters.
Hopefully, the drop rate would be higher when killing elite level wild monsters.
…
In the Dragon King Castle.
Mike was lying on a bench, extremely relaxed.
He was still under the protection of a newbie, and the castle was also invincible.
Compared to the other castle lords, he was naturally living very comfortably.
However, this did not mean that he was slacking off. After all, he was only at tier 1 and did not have any skills. If he followed Tyrell out to hunt monsters… If something unexpected happened, it would not be cool. With such a top-tier army, it would be hilarious if he died before showing his skills!
He might as well stay in the castle and collect the corpses of wild monsters.
At the same time, he could learn more about the Otherworld Continent through the world chat channel.
…
The Otherworld Continent was extremely vast. There were tens of thousands of races here!
There were endless monsters, magical beasts, and the existence of a powerful local empire.
However, according to his understanding, billions of Castle Lords should have descended into the wilderness.
A local empire that was far away from the continent.
This was good news. At least in the early stages of the Castle Lords’ development, they would not be invaded by a powerful local empire.
In addition, the Castle Lords had a variety of random types of soldiers.
There were humans, dwarves, elves, angels, titans…
There were also humanoid, half-dragon, half-beast, undead…
Good, dark, neutral, evil…
Or powerful, top-tier soldiers.
Or weak, low-tier soldiers.
And so on.
There were countless of them.
The vast majority of Castle Lords randomly picked middle-tier and low-tier soldiers.
Of course, there were also a few lucky Castle lords who picked high-tier, top-tier soldiers,
for example, Bella’s angel soldier was a top-tier soldier.
As for Mike’s troops, they were considered top-grade troops.
After all, there were 99 types of giant dragons. And they only belonged to Mike. The word ‘unique’ could be seen that only Mike possessed them.
Just from this, it could be seen that the future of his castle was limitless.
As long as he did not seek death, the future was within reach!
“Currently, there are 13,000 units of wood, 4,800 units of stones, and hundreds of other materials in the warehouse.”
The wood had already reached the requirements for upgrading, but the stones were still a little lacking.
“But we’ll be able to gather them soon.”
“Looks like I’ll be able to upgrade to an advanced castle by noon.”
Mike was in a good mood.
The energy in his body was also continuously rising. It seemed that it would not be long before he could reach tier 2.
This was the benefit of being powerful. He did not need to waste time gathering the materials needed to upgrade the castle.
The weaker soldiers could only gather the materials, completely wasting the time needed to upgrade the soldiers.
However, only the castle lords with great strength could do this.
This allowed the castle lords to surpass the others and walk in front.
At this moment.
Mike suddenly heard the howls of a pack of wolves coming from the dense forest not far away.
In that direction, besides the howls of wolves, there were also the roars of dragons.
“Have we poked a wolf’s nest?”
In the forest 400 meters away from the castle.
The battle was intense.
There were more than ten giant black wolves lying on the battlefield.
The wolf corpses were covered with claw marks and were dripping with blood. Some of them were even emitting green smoke and were slowly being corroded by the venom.
Tyrell’s venom was corrosive and would corrode the monster’s corpse. Without a corpse, it would be impossible to gather resources.
Therefore, Mike prohibited Tyrell from using the venom without encountering any danger.
…
On the battlefield, the smell of blood assailed the nostrils.
Other than the dozen or so giant black wolves that had died, there were still five that were struggling.
However, they did not last long. Tyrell killed two of them with one swipe of his claw.
The other two were like headless flies that were running around randomly and were soon killed.
Only the last giant wolf was standing on a big green mountain. However, there was a hint of fear in its eyes.
This giant black wolf was slightly larger than the other giant wolves.
The golden wolf with mottled spots on its body also had a stronger aura.
Tier 4!!
This was an elite boss!!
Looking at Tyrell, it bared its teeth and growled, letting out a warning and threatening voice.
However, its expression was still a little panicked.
It moved its limbs and was retreating.
After all, Tyrell was the king of the forest in front of it, and it had an aura suppression against low-tier wild monsters. This was also the reason why Mike was able to gather so much food with just a giant dragon.
Although Tyrell was only tier 3, he was not afraid of a tier 4 elite boss.
Looking at Tyrell who was approaching.
Roar!
The wolf spat out a wind blade that was half a meter long at Tyrell.
Tyrell dodged to the side and left a deep claw mark on its body.
The black wolf felt the pain and turned around to escape.
Tyrell did not give it a chance.. With one claw and two claws, he attacked and killed the black wolf.
