“Lin One, wait!”

Lin Ye seemed to have thought of something and instructed loudly, “Don’t forget to build another 30 Level 1 Warehouses and 10 Level 3 Breeding Fields. The blueprints are all in the bunker. Go and find them yourself.”

“!!!”

Lin One had just reached the door of the bunker when he suddenly heard those words. The soles of his feet jellied and he almost died on the spot.

Originally, the 10 working days needed for the construction of the fence defense circle which had to be squeezed into 5 days was already a huge challenge. Now, another 30 warehouses and 30 Level 3 breeding fields had to be constructed.

Although the workload was nothing compared to the defense circle’s fence, the breeding field was of a higher level.

At least a few more hours would be wasted.

Furthermore, they were a little short on manpower.

His father’s tribe’s elites were probably not enough. His father would have to personally take part in the construction of the Level 3 breeding field.

Well, if it wasn’t enough, Uncle, Granduncle, Cousin, 9527 from Aunt’s house next door, 9394’s siblings…

He called all his relatives over. They would share both fortune and misfortune together.

Besides, his lord was the most promising Lord in the world. He provided the best food and shelter. He shouldn’t let outsiders take advantage of this.

With that in mind, he waved his hand from afar and said, “My lord, you must give me extras for tonight’s meal. I’m taking this beating for official business. You must remember this.”

After saying some incoherent nonsense, Lin One generously stepped into the recruitment hall.

“???”

Lin Ye had a look of surprise on his face.

Who would hit you? I’m giving you a chance to make a name for yourself.

Ridiculous!

He couldn’t be bothered with them and turned to look at Tru and the others.

While he was telling Lin One about the defense circle.

The upgrade of these 35 people had just ended. 99% of them successfully advanced to Class 2.

Only one of them, a light armored shield soldier with a yellowish face, failed at the end of the upgrade.

“This should be considered a part of the European King’s fate, right? This is a special upgrade scroll with a 99% success rate and I can still fail it. No one else has this luck.”

Lin Ye looked over with pity.

That look did it and the yellow-faced warrior couldn’t hold it in any longer as he bawled.

“My lord, I’ve let you down. I wasted a precious upgrade scroll!”

He was crying sadly, but before Lin Ye could say anything, Tru’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He went up and gave the soldier a beating as he cursed, “Trash, I told you to train properly, but you didn’t listen. The value of that Soldier Upgrade Scroll is enough to buy ten of your lives!”

“The other brothers haven’t even gotten a scroll. I really want to beat you to death, you bastard!”

The more he scolded, the more suffocated he felt. Even a few of Tru’s personal guards were filled with hatred and joined him in beating up the other guy.

In the underworld, both living supplies and cultivation resources were the most important things.

Things like Body Strengthening Pills, upgrade scrolls, blue tier weapons…

These items were only left for main disciples, even for clans with more than 10,000 people.

For Class 1 attributeless soldiers like them, they did not even have the qualifications to look at those precious things.

But in their lord’s territory, they received the same treatment as main disciples of large clans. They were touched by the treatment and hated their teammate for being so disappointing.

“Alright, stop acting.”

Lin Ye rolled his eyes. This fellow, Tru, was smart. He seemed to be beating him up fiercely, but in reality, they were just superficial wounds.

Once Gran cast a healing spell, he recovered in a few minutes.

He was clearly protecting his personal guards in secret.

He understood and did not blame him.

They had given him their 100% loyalty anyway. If he really broke him, he would be the one whose heart would ache.

“Lord is wise. I can’t hide it from you.”

Tru stopped and scratched his head, a goofy smile on his face. In the end, he kicked his own brother in the shin. “Get up, pig.”

“Oh-kay.”

The defeated shield armored soldier crawled up weakly. His entire body was covered in dust and dirt and he looked extremely miserable.

But he did not wipe it away. His heart was filled with guilt. He lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and did not dare to look into Lin Ye’s eyes.

“It’s okay. Failure is the mother of success. Just treat it as a lesson.”

Lin Ye smiled and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Ron… Ron.”

The yellow-faced warrior said with a trembling voice, afraid that Lin Ye would chase him back to the underworld.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ve said it before. Loyalty is number one in my territory. I don’t care about a mere upgrade scroll. Since you’ve offered your loyalty, you’re family. We’re on the same side. So what if you fail? Take this. If you don’t advance, then continue to ask me for it. I’ve more than enough!”

Lin Ye generously took out a Soldier Upgrade Scroll and placed it firmly in Ron’s stiff hands.

“My lord?”

Ron’s eyes widened comically, and he felt as if the world had suddenly become unreal.

He had failed his advancement. Instead of blaming him and punishing him, his lord had comforted him and gave him a second soldier upgrade scroll.

“Really, try it if you don’t believe me,” Lin Ye encouraged.

“Bro, can you hit me again? I’m feeling a little dizzy,” Ron cried to Tru.

“I’ll satisfy your request.” Tru bared his teeth, revealing his yellow teeth. His clay pot-sized fist made cracking sounds as he went up and used several skills, beating Ron until he cried out in pain.

“Stop it, stop it, brother, I’m awake, really…” Ron begged, but Tru and the others ignored him completely and continued to beat him.

In their words, their lord did not blame him, but the brothers did not agree.

A soldier upgrade scroll was equivalent to a few lives. If they did not beat him up, how will he remember? Of course, there were two reasons.

Firstly, it was to teach Ron a lesson. Secondly, it was to show the people below. Otherwise, everyone would use loyalty as a bargaining chip and wantonly waste the lord’s resources.

At this rate, even if their lord’s wealth was comparable to that of a country, he would not be able to withstand such a waste when the population increased.

Lin Ye understood this and did not stop him.

When the farce was over, Ron was carried down by a couple of close friends.

Even though he looked like he was covered in injuries and had bruises all over his body, this fellow didn’t hold a grudge against his brothers and instead heaved a sigh of relief.

His determination to become stronger grew stronger.

When his physique was stronger, he would use this scroll again. He had to succeed in one try. He could not disappoint his lord and brothers.

The soldiers, blacksmiths, rangers, and chefs watching from below the platform were all shaken.

Regardless of whether their lord was putting on a show or not, his magnanimity was enough to convince many people.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your magnanimity has touched all the blacksmiths. Their loyalty has increased to 75%! Forging speed has increased by 20%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your magnanimity has touched all the rangers. Their loyalty has increased to 80%! Archery skills have increased by 25%!]

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your magnanimity has touched all the Light Armored Shield Soldiers. Their loyalty has increased to 80%! Morale increased by 25%!]

He listened to the system’s good news.

Lin Ye was in a good mood. He took out the recruitment order and recruited 1000 Level 1 Attributeless soldiers, 500 Class 1 Rangers, and 500 Class 1 Blacksmiths from the bunker. The remaining 1,000 plus population space was left for Lin One to summon his own native worker clan to help with the construction.

With that, the overall combat ability of the territory soared!
