Chapter 35
To be honest, this trip to the hunting country was very hasty. Wu Wei didn't have many cards in his hand now, so it was obviously impossible to say that he would succeed 100%.
However, this was just an attempt made because he didn't want to waste an opportunity. Even if he failed, it would not threaten him.
Of course, since he did it, he naturally wanted to make it as successful as possible and strive for the greatest benefit.
With the troops he had in his hands, it was definitely not enough to face the army of the orc king's court. Therefore, on the way to the long journey, he also arranged a back-up.
The creatures and corpses of wild soldiers killed by him on the road were all used by him to summon the dead in the underworld. In the past half month, he has accumulated a huge army of undead.
Because his summoning the dead in the underworld has a success rate limit, it cannot achieve 100% conversion, but because he killed a lot along the way, there are also tens of thousands of uneven undead armies.
These undead are now wandering in the border wilderness, and they can join the battle at any time as long as Wu Wei gives an order.
This amount of troops is naturally not enough to fight the orc army, but it is enough to divert attention and make the battle more chaotic.
This is enough. Wu Wei does not have to fight the orcs to the death. As long as he can achieve his goal, it will be fine.
······
Wu Wei's army finally hid in a hidden valley.
The next step was to wait until the isolated garrison of Quarry Castle was breached by the orc army. Then Wu Wei would take action and appear as a savior, gain the trust of the border army of the Cornflower Kingdom, and legitimately gather the defeated army and the people's hearts, and then march straight to the capital to pick the ripe fruits.
But before that, there was one thing that needed to be clarified.
"Rhodes, do you know anything about the lord's job change?"
In the garrison base, Wu Wei called the swordsman hero Rhodes to him and asked him this.
Rhodes was a little surprised why his lord would ask such a question, but he still honestly told all the relevant information he knew:
"The Lord Class is an upgrade that can only be obtained after the Lord reaches level 10 and completes the job transfer task. It is generally directly related to the Lord's race, environment, and behavior."
"Lords like you who have opened up territories in the unowned wilderness will naturally become pioneer knights after completing the job transfer task. The advanced levels are pioneer lord, free lord, free city lord, free monarch, and founding monarch."
"If you are a noble who owns a fief in the kingdom, you will be transferred to a fief knight, and the advanced titles are fief baron, fief viscount, fief earl, fief marquis, fief grand duke."
"If the lord is a member of a national power but has no fief, he will be transferred to an honorary knight, and then promoted to an honorary baron, honorary viscount, honorary earl, honorary marquis, and honorary duke."
"Other races also have lord professions such as chieftains and tribal leaders, which are actually not much different."
"However, there are some ancient and special lord professions in this world that have unique abilities. The job transfer tasks for those professions are difficult to obtain, but once the job transfer is completed, it can often bring great job bonuses to the lord."
When he said this, it immediately aroused Wu Wei's great interest.
"Oh? Do you know what special lord professions there are?"
"I don't know much, I just heard about it from the legends and epics, for example, the war knights are based on aggression and war. They are synonymous with war and death. The highest title is the Conqueror King. Every one of them is a famous figure in the Dawn Domain."
"There are also magic kings who use magic technology as the core of territory development, magic emperors who use alchemy technology as the core of territory development, etc. However, many well-known special lord professions have become history and have been lost with the passage of time. Most people don’t know how to trigger the job transfer tasks of these special lord professions."
After listening to this, Wu Wei was touched.
These lord professions sounded very powerful. If he didn’t know, it would be fine. Now that he knew, he really wanted to transfer to a special lord profession. Anyway, it wouldn’t have much impact if he didn’t transfer now, so he might as well postpone it. In case he had the opportunity to meet them in the future, he wouldn’t miss it.
"Okay, I get it, let's go."
······
Wu Wei's army didn't hide for too long. On the second day, his scouts reported that they found that the orc army originally stationed in the Huangsha River area of the Gold Rush Wasteland had separated a large force to advance towards the Quarry Fort.
There were about 200,000 troops, all of them elite.
The scouts said that they even saw several behemoths and green dragons in the army, and inferred that there must be several legendary beast knights of the orcs.
Even Wu Wei was shocked by the small scale.
Not to mention how elite these 200,000 orc troops are, just the several legendary troops are enough to be tricky.
You know, there is only one legendary strongman in the garrison of Quarry Fort, that is, the copper dragon knight Marcus.
The Windfury Court knew that the border of the Cornflower Kingdom was empty, so it launched a general attack!
"Let’s go and have a look."
