The sound of fighting reverberated in the surings as Thirte’s Knights, whom he monikered the Knights of the Apocalypse, killed the monsters that blocked their path.
Since all of them were wearing the same black, Adamantine-Grade Armor, they truly looked like knights that came from an established kingdom.
“Strange,” Roland said. “How come the vanguard doesn’t kill the monsters they face? They simply cripple them before moving to the next target.”
“I thought that I’m the only one who noticed it, but it seems that you are thinking the same thing,” Joshua commted.
“The knights on the fourth row also ignored the monsters on the g, allowing the ones from the fifth team to land the killing blow,” Derek rubbed his chin. “I’ve never se this tactic before.”
“They’re just Rank up to Rank 3 Monsters,” Siri scoffed. “There’s no point killing such small fries.”
“You’re wrong about that,” Shana stated. “Zion doesn’t do things without a reason, and the way I see it, it seems that they have established some rules on who will deal the killing blow.”
The Saintess of the Hero Party watched as Thirte’s army annihilated hundreds of Rank up to Rank 3 Wild Dogs, which were led by a Rank 4 Alpha Monster.
“I think I get it,” Mildred, who has the best eyesight among them, decided to share her theory. “They’re farming items, but since the Monsters are low-ranked, they give priority to certain individuals, specifically the ones on the back rows.”
“Bingo! You got it, Mildred.” Erica, who landed beside the archer, said with a smile. “Thirte has developed a system where all Wanderers can gain items during this expedition. The same can be said for Cores. Those who didn’t get items or cores get priority, and are moved at the back lines.
“Once they get their items, they will go to the front and act as vanguards, allowing others to get their turn.”
The Wanderers, who were part of Roland’s group, couldn’t help but look at this item farming strategy with vy.
Wh they realized that everyone under Zion’s team possessed Adamantine-Grade Equipmt, all of them felt jealous. After all, the Adamantine-Grade was just a rank below the Mythical Grade.
Simply put, the Rookies under Thirte’s command already have “d-game” equipmt, which they could use throughout their career as Wanderers.
“I wish I had be st to the place where Sir Zion was wh I appeared here in Solterra.”
“Me too.”
“Hah… why can’t I be as lucky as them?”
Several Wanderers wer’t able to stop voicing out their regrets. If they had joined Thirte’s group sooner, wouldn’t they also get the same equipmt that they had?
The funny thing was that the majority of the Wanderers under Thirte’s command hadn’t be trained to fight.
They were simply carried by the teage boy, who was currtly watching all of this while riding on top of the Rank 6 Sovereign, Nightmare Black Hound.
The imposing creature looked so cool, that ev Derek was tempted to have one.
Wh asked how he managed to tame such a monster, Thirte said that he just threw some meat at the Nightmare Black Hound, and they became instant frids.
Derek could tell that his “Master” was just spouting bullsh*t.
If he were to do the same, and throw monster meat at a Rank 6 Sovereign, there was a 99.9% chance that he would become its next meal.
“Did all of you succeed in getting an item?” Kyle Walker, who was the Sixth Squad Captain under Thirte’s battalion asked.
“”Yes, Captain!”” freewebnoveℓ.com
“Good.” Kyle nodded. “In the next raid, it’s our turn to be the Vanguard. I want you to list to the Commander’s order without fail. Understood?”
“”Yes, Sir!””
“Okay, you know what to do,” Kyle said as he gazed at the monster corpses that littered the battlefield. “Get the cores, and drain the monsters’ blood.”
“”Yes, Sir!””
After giving his orders, he joined his subordinates in collecting the Monster Cores, which he would deliver to their Commander, Zion Levtis.
Their Supreme Leader was responsible for allocating these cores to the Wanderers, allowing everyone to get their share of the spoils of battle.
Kyle, the son of a carpter, didn’t expect that his life would have a dramatic turn during his First Wandering.
To be perfectly honest, he was merely one of the many Wanderers under Thirte’s command, lucky ough to survive simply because fate put them in the Super Rookie’s way.
His hands, who had learned the craft of carptry from his father, had helped in the creation of the wood wagons that everyone had be using in their journey.
Seeing his expertise, Thirte had assigned him as the leader of the production team, responsible for creating arrow shafts and repairing wagons, as well as building any item that Thirte deemed would be useful in their expedition.
Since he was one of the Core Members of Thirte’s temporary battalion, he was giv the rank of Squad Captain, allowing him to be recognized due to his contributions.
He and his family lived in the Cygni Contint, which was about to face a Jinn invasion.
Because of this, he was doing his best to learn on how to fight under Thirte’s command, so that wh it was the time to defd their homeland, he would be there, fighting alongside them.
While everyone was busy doing their roles, those who still hav’t received any Cores during their expedition formed four lines in front of Thirte.
Erica, Sherry, and two more Squad Captains were distributing Cores for these Wanderers, allowing them to absorb them without problems.
As for the Core of the Alpha Monsters, and Sovereigns, Thirte had made an ingious system for its distribution.
It was by throwing dices.
For example, the First Squad would be the one to get the Core of Alpha Monsters and above.
Each member would toss three dices, and the one who gets the highest number would get its core.
The next Alpha or Sovereign Core would th be giv to the Second Squad, and all of them would repeat the same process.
This was to allow everyone to fairly distribute the rewards, giving each of them a chance.
Those who managed to win these Alpha and Sovereign Cores would th not be allowed to join the next of dice throwing, giving the rest a chance to get them as well.
