"Holy shit! We won big!"

"Faustus is awesome!"

"Five million against a hundred thousand, and we still lost over ten thousand? Those dwarves are too strong!"

"You don’t understand. Dwarves’ War Machines are the strongest in the entire continent. Just winning is impressive!"

"Exactly! I swear I saw one Thunder Cannon wipe out over a hundred people in a single shot!"

"My friend is in the Doom Legion. He said their seventh army lost over two thousand people..."

"Nonsense. The dwarves defending the city are incredibly strong. The important thing is, we won easily!"

"What about Faustus’ Polaris Legion? How were their losses?"

"Probably very few. Polaris Legion didn’t fight as the main force. I think Faustus deliberately held them back. He wanted us to level up and earn points."

"Of course. Polaris Legion’s NPCs are armed to the teeth. They are highly skilled professional soldiers. If they had gone all out, what chance would we have had?"

"Exactly. They are elite NPCs, and we are a player army. How can we compare?"

"Maybe Faustus was afraid that the NPCs would be lost too early. One NPC gone is gone forever. Players can die and respawn."

"Enough talk. I’m going to level up. Next siege, I’ll be at the front!"

...

At the core of the Anvil Tribe.

Daniel sat in the seat originally belonging to the clan chief, listening to the logistics officer’s report.

"Your Grace, the loot has been inventoried."

"Besides the war machines and equipment seized on the battlefield, we also found..."

The logistics officer opened the ledger and read out each item.

"Three dwarven war factories, capable of producing gold-grade and lower War Machines."

"Two silver-grade ore veins, producing about 500,000 silver-grade units annually."

"One thundersteel vein, producing about 300,000 thundersteel units annually."

"Five iron-grade ore veins, producing about 2,000,000 iron-grade units annually."

"Various rare metal reserves: approximately 5,000,000 units."

"Additionally..."

The officer paused, then continued.

"We found a large quantity of non-human races’ equipment in the warehouses."

"This includes beastfolk berserker axes, goblin priest staves, dark elf assassin daggers..."

"There was even an order for sea people weapons and equipment!"

He handed over a document.

Daniel looked at it and raised his eyebrow.

It was a trade order between the dwarves and the sea people.

It included 1,000 sets of gold-grade equipment and 100 sets of platinum-grade equipment. In exchange, the sea people would provide deep-sea pearls, coral, and young deep-sea beasts.

"Interesting," Daniel said, putting away the order.

The sea people had indeed joined in.

They were an amphibious race with long-standing interest in land-based resources.

Throughout Stellar’s history, they often clashed with land races.

Now they were trading with dwarves?

Daniel looked at the logistics officer.

"And the prisoners?"

"Your Grace, a total of 180,000 dwarves were captured."

"Of these, over 20,000 are warriors, the rest are civilians."

"As you ordered, all are in custody awaiting processing."

Daniel nodded.

"No need to keep them here. Send all of them to Polaris City, to the Eternal Core Furnace."

"Let them work in the forges."

The logistics officer froze.

"Your Grace, dwarves are stubborn. They might not obey..."

Daniel smiled.

"Simple. Those who don’t obey, we kill."

"Those who obey, can live."

"There will always be some who fear death."

The officer nodded thoughtfully.

...

After finishing the loot, Daniel left the Lord’s Manor.

Hudson, Victor, and Alan approached him.

"Your Grace, battle losses have been counted," Hudson said seriously.

"Polaris Legion warriors killed: 326."

"I have collected the bodies of the fallen warriors."

Daniel nodded.

Although the Polaris Legion did not fight as the main force, facing the dwarves’ elite warriors meant the players were difficult to kill efficiently. Masses could be wiped out instead.

To end the battle quickly, Victor had led a ten-thousand-strong elite squad to engage, and some casualties occurred.

"Very well. I will revive them," Daniel said.

He used the [Seraphic Revival] device.

[System Notice: You have spent 12,000,000 gold coins to revive Polaris Legion warriors ×326]

Golden light flashed.

The cold, lifeless bodies stood again.

They stared at their hands in confusion, then all looked at Daniel, full of excitement and fervor.

"Thank you, Your Grace!"

Daniel waved.

"You are warriors who shed blood for the Empire. I will never let a single warrior die on the battlefield."

"For the Empire!"

This short speech instantly ignited the warriors’ passion.

Their Duke possessed the power to revive the dead. Their eyes filled with battle intent and loyalty.

All warriors knelt on one knee, their loyalty to Daniel reaching one hundred percent.

"For the Empire! For Your Grace!"

The roar was deafening.

Daniel looked at Alan with satisfaction.

"And the Doom Legion?"

Alan gave a wry smile.

"Your Grace, Doom Legion lost 175,847 people, with countless injuries."

Daniel nodded calmly.

"No matter. Adventurers can respawn directly in the main city."

"Although many lost levels and are complaining..."

Daniel thought for a moment.

"Give them some compensation."

"Each gets 100 guild points and 10 gold coins."

"Tell them that rewards will double for outstanding performance in the next battle!"

Alan’s eyes lit up.

"Your Grace is wise!"

...

The next day, the army continued marching.

For the following seven days, they killed gods and humans alike.

LV70 Copper Hammer Tribe, 20,000, crushed.

LV85 Steel Mane Tribe, 105,000, destroyed.

LV92 Flame Tribe, 350,000, wiped out.

...

Along the way, thirty-seven medium and small dwarven tribes were eradicated.

Each conquered tribe provided resources and prisoners.

Daniel’s desk overflowed with loot lists.

Polaris Legion warriors’ levels increased steadily.

Doom Legion players leveled fastest, gaining experience through continuous battles.

Although dying caused some to lose levels, survivors’ levels increased rapidly.

Players noticed dwarves dropped high-quality equipment and resources more frequently.

With guild point and gold coin compensation, complaints vanished instantly.

In their place, a high battle spirit surged throughout the army.
