Global Lords: My Territory Heart Is a World Tree

Sibel Aishan (Private Message): "I have no idea why so many people are buying up ’Excellent Tier Hero Summon Scrolls.’ Excellent Tier heroes aren’t that much stronger than soldiers, are they? So weird!"

Opal Hass (Private Message): "Cut the crap. Give me the ’Excellent Tier Hero Summon Scroll’ later. I have a use for it. I’ll reimburse you for the points you spent when we get back to Cuiwei Star."

Sibel Aishan (Private Message): "You got it!! o(^▽^)o"

...

「On the last day of October, at ten in the morning sharp.」

Mei Yuan walked out of the main hall of his Lord’s Mansion and onto the square in front of it.

The massive holes from the previous battle had already been repaired, leaving no trace of the destruction.

Mei Yuan stood alone in the center of the square. It was deserted. The territory’s soldiers had already taken their positions on the city walls, prepared to repel the enemy’s attack.

Mei Yuan opened its mouth, emitting a silent sound wave (infrasound). It wasn’t long before a transparent figure appeared.

"Hmm? You’ve actually possessed a Lord’s body?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Whose subordinate are you?"

"My master is Alison!"

"Him! I never thought that good-for-nothing would be so lucky! What are Alison’s plans?"

"Lord Alison plans to take advantage of the chaos during the final month of the second phase. To do this, we need to control as many Lords as possible over the next month. That’s why we require the support of you and the other lords. When the time comes, you’ll all naturally receive your share of the credit and the spoils."

"So you need more Eye Demons, right?"

"Yes, my lord. In addition to low-level Eye Demons, we also need elite ones. They can then seek out their own opportunities to control hero units, or even Lords."

"Fine!"

The transparent figure swiftly flew up into the sky and disappeared into the distance.

Not long after, a large contingent of enemy soldiers appeared outside the city.

The guards on the city walls immediately launched an attack. The victories of the past few days had filled the soldiers of Mei Yuan’s territory with confidence. They were utterly certain of their own strength, believing no enemy, whoever they were, could withstand a single clash.

Sure enough, though the enemies appeared numerous and well-equipped, they all collapsed after a single volley.

Afterward, the territory’s soldiers cheered as they transported the enemy corpses into the city. They carried them into a huge, specially constructed building, arranging the bodies with the help of the commoners waiting inside.

Then, all the soldiers lined up in formation outside the building, waiting for their Lord to select the elites who would enter for the promotion ritual.

This was the territory’s latest innovation. Anyone chosen to enter the building would emerge having been promoted by one tier. As a result, every member of the territory was desperate for the chance.

Soon, Mei Yuan arrived outside the building, followed by a dozen or so Excellent Tier heroes.

He had summoned these Excellent Tier heroes using ’Excellent Tier Hero Summon Scrolls’ that he bought with borrowed points.

He then had these heroes walk into the building. The surrounding soldiers were already used to this; during the daily promotion ritual, Mei Yuan would always have somewhere between a few and a dozen newly summoned heroes enter first.

Before long, the heroes who had entered the building emerged. Seeing that they had been upgraded to Outstanding quality, Mei Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

’What a pity. The market price for ’Excellent Tier Hero Summon Scrolls’ has skyrocketed, so I could only afford a few,’ Mei Yuan muttered to himself. ’Did I buy too many? The resources of this Human Race are pathetic.’

He then began to call forward the higher-leveled soldiers, having them enter the building one by one.

When these soldiers emerged from the building, their attributes had been raised to a level appropriate for the Outstanding tier.

Of course, all of these soldiers had also been infested by Eye Demons.
