Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Level 20 Advance Quest


    ?


    [You have reached Level 20, and an advancement mission is now issued to you.]


    [Mission Requirements: Have 5 Hero units under your command (4/5), destroy 5 organizations with a Rank Evaluation of 2 (0/5), upgrade territory to Rank 3 (2/3), and have 10,000 elite troops (1100/10000).]


    [Mission Rewards: Talent Ascension x1, +1 to Profession Slot]


    "Level 20, the difficulty of advancing has skyrocketed, those Lords above Rank 3 are not to be trifled with," Qin Muye glanced at the advancement mission, considering the number of heroes, display of power, territory rank, elite troops evaluations, and so on, wondering just how difficult future Level 30 advancement missions could be.


    Fortunately, the current mission isn''t too hard, the only challenging part is to destroy 5 organizations, and they have to be at Rank 2 evaluation.


    What to say, the previous Dwarf gathering area can only be considered a Rank 1 evaluation, and even the Harpy nest barely reached the Champion evaluation of Rank 1.


    An organization''s evaluation isn''t solely about heroes and troops; even if they are very important, an organization cannot be considered as such if it only consists of heroes and troops.


    "Master, have you received an advancement mission?" Tian Qi wriggled the tentacles underneath him and silently approached.


    Qin Muye nodded, having just finished the campaign against the Harpy nest, in which Tian Qi had naturally participated. Without him, the victory might not have been so easy.


    "Yes, I have. It''s not very difficult, but destroying 5 Rank 2 organizations is a bit troublesome," Qin Muye replied.


    A Rank 2 force isn''t actually that strong. If other factors are set aside, the Harpy nest could at least reach the strength of a Rank 3 organization. But even so, after being weakened by dark whispers, preventing them from flying, and the addition of Tian Qi''s Flesh Parasite, the scene was quite spectacular.


    Beneath the skin of every Harpy writhed tentacles that continuously devoured their flesh and blood, causing severe pain and consuming life force, inflicting additional damage.


    Since there were no rules now, these Harpies were not undead and naturally felt pain and had morale.


    Ascending would indeed allow his Lord Talent to rise again, but it was meaningless for the moment since he wasn''t in his territory but outside. It wouldn''t matter even if it was completed later.


    In fact, once all other conditions were met and the territory upgraded to Rank 3, he could complete it then, as it would be even easier.


    "Yes, Master."


    "Oh, and we found four Element Cores in the Harpy''s nest, quite a few in total-thirty cores. Also, there was a Bidirectional Teleportation Gate that leads somewhere unknown," Black Hand had no objections to Qin Muye''s decision and proceeded to report some findings.


    The haul from the Harpy nest was much greater than the one from the Dwarf gathering place, especially in terms of treasures and resources.


    "Question that Harpy about where those Element Cores came from, and find out about the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate as well," Qin Muye casually instructed.


    Black Hand was already on it, but Qin Muye chose to reiterate the orders anyway.


    "Yes, Master!"


    "In the future, for matters like this, just make the decisions. I''m only interested in the results, not how they come about. You can be bold with external affairs as long as they don''t involve our territory personnel; there''s no need to consult me." Qin Muye knew one thing: if he wasn''t capable, he had to learn to delegate and make use of others.


    Otherwise, if he insisted on taking charge despite his inadequacy, it would only spoil things.


    "I understand, Master."


    "Another thing, my advancement mission still requires one more Hero unit, and the formation of 10,000 elite troops. Arrange that for me."


    "Arrange for several Professions for the hero. I''ll complete it quickly once back. As for the


    elite formation, don''t fixate on the exact number, just decide what feels appropriate and arrange it. If there aren''t enough Spirit Monsters, you can continue building factories for recruitment."


    Qin Muye was worried that Black Hand might stick to arranging only one Hero slot and exactly 10,000 elite troops, which would be awkward, so he added further clarification to prevent any additional trouble later on.
