Due to Wesley’s seniority, he was elected as the Captain, leading the other four to develop their territories together.
Under Wesley’s guidance, the Lord’s Mansions of the five of them were successfully upgraded to Level 3, and the number of their subordinates had also reached a scale of 30 to 40 people.
Such a development progress was considered rather good among the many Otherworldly Lords.
However, they all clearly understood that this strange otherworld was full of dangers, and everything was just beginning.
Among the five of them, they had almost all experienced Lords who were active in the Chat Channel the day before, only to disappear the next day and never show up again.
In the Chat Channel, people would occasionally mention finding other destroyed Lord’s Mansions or even their dead bodies.
These constant reminders told them that they had to be extremely careful if they wanted to survive in this otherworld.
“Everyone, there is only one steep mountain road leading to the mountain where our five territories are located. As long as we guard it, there will be no problems!”
After a brief pondering, Wesley’s face was full of solemnity as he continued, “We must be prepared for this. Each of us will leave two subordinates to guard our mansions, and gather the rest at the mountain road!”
“Wesley is right! I… I’ll go back and tell them right away!”
Upon hearing this, the bespectacled young lord’s tense expression eased a bit, and he was the first to turn and head toward his territory.
The other three, their faces looking panicked, didn’t hesitate to follow suit.
In no time, nearly 200 subordinates were gathered in their lords’ care, concentrating on the location of the mountain road.
At a glance, the mountain road was very steep, almost like a cliff, making it easy to defend and hard to attack.
Looking at the vast crowd all around, Wesley’s always agitated heart finally calmed down a bit.
Most of the subordinates were ordinary farmers and hunters, armed with logging axes or pickaxes, with strengths ranging from Tier 1 One-star to Tier 1 Two-star.
However, in the past few days, they had successively recruited some professional warriors wearing armor or leather armor, all above Tier 1 Five-star in strength.
The bespectacled young lord even managed to recruit a Tier 1 Peak-level Heavy Infantry, becoming the strongest of the five of them.
For this reason, at Wesley’s suggestion, they set aside time every evening to have their newly recruited, powerful subordinates train ordinary farmers and hunters, in addition to their daily mining duties.
Although the training time wasn’t long, the formation these farmers made was quite decent.
“Unfortunately, none of us have awakened any talent allowing us to recruit Tier 2 Subordinates, so it seems that we can only continue to upgrade our mansions to acquire more powerful subordinates.”
Thinking about this, Wesley cheered up and, while loudly deploying all the professional warriors to the front, continued pondering, “However, the talents we five people have awaken are complementary, which is quite nice.”
On the other side, the other young male and female lords looked much more relaxed.
The long-haired young lord casually twirled a spear in his hand and said with satisfaction, “Hehe, our combined subordinates have nearly the strength of two middle teams. If those shorties come, we can rely on the terrain to defeat them utterly!”
“We can’t put it that way, those siege Foreign Races are professional soldiers after all,”
At this point, the bespectacled young lord still had a hint of worry on his face, “In my opinion, we must never be careless, it’s better to send a few agile subordinates to scout first.”
“Glasses, you can’t boost their morale while dampening our own,”
Hearing this, the long-haired lord smirked and said, “I’ve already condensed an Energy Vortex; if they dare to come, I’ll show them some color!”
As he said this, the long-haired lord deliberately turned around and performed another awkward spear twirl in front of the two young female lords, showing off his skills.
But just then, a commotion suddenly erupted among the professional warriors at the front of the subordinate formation.
Immediately after, before the five could react, a faint, crisp marching sound began to come from the end of the mountain road.
The uniform sound, like rolling thunder, rapidly went from far to near, constantly plucking at the heartstrings of everyone present.
In just a moment, flickering torchlight began to appear at the end of the mountain road, becoming increasingly dense.
Finally, a winding and twisting fire dragon advanced up the mountain, its flames blazing brightly.
Under the firelight, the shiny long spears emitted a bone-chilling coldness, causing people’s heads to tingle.
Without a doubt, this was a genuine army.
And from the short stature of the figures, it was evident they were the Foreign Race who had been attacking the city at the foot of the cliff!
Seeing this, the five lords felt a chill down their spines. The temperature around them seemed to drop suddenly, making the air feel thick and suffocating.
Clang.
Startled, the long-haired lord who had been showing off his spear skills had dropped his long spear, creating a crisp sound as it collided with a rock.
“They… they’re really coming!”
Picking up the fallen spear, the long-haired young lord stumbled and began to tremble uncontrollably at the back of their formation.
This action caused the other three young lords’ faces to be filled with terror, not knowing what to do.
“Everyone, prepare for battle!”
Seeing this, Wesley, the only one who could maintain a semblance of composure, took a trembling step forward and drew a shiny iron axe head from behind him.
With that, a battle between the five lords and the Alien Race army was about to ignite.
