BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15: Parchment Warning
Sure ough, as soon as he posted those first-tier average Zerg warriors, many people were dissatisfied with the prices.
[ID 356: No way, you, a top-tier player, are selling me nearly one hundred tons of wood for a first-tier average unit. How are we supposed to upgrade the Heart of the Overlord?]
[ID 4586: Exactly, you don\'t understand the bigger the ability, the bigger the responsibility. Why not just give this to us for free?]
[ID 4566: Everyone, let\'s stop talking. I think this player is just fear-mongering to profit from the war. Let\'s not buy anything from him anymore!]
The rhythm of these commts accelerated, and Charles roughly guessed their inttions, which were to curb his selling activities.
After all, he alone had obtained those resources at a price that raw materials could be acquired for, which was not favorable for other Overlords who wanted to reap the befits.
But so what? Charles\'s main principle was to be true to himself, whether people wanted to buy or not!
If they died, it was their own fault. After all, wh this wave is gone, there will be another.
Selling his own Zerg units was actually a very loss-making vture, especially since the reproduction efficicy of the Que\'s split was far behind the rapid deploymt of troops.
Ding!
The parchmt suddly trembled. It turned out that the people who had previously traded with Charles had privately paid to exchange for Zerg warriors.
It was only at this momt that a smile appeared on his face.
Those who believed in him were better off alive. As for the others, let them go die.
The spirited Que Eve was also bold. She directly exchanged a team of zerglings for the life trees. If it wer\'t for his reminder about the Zerg\'s rebellious and bloodthirsty nature, Charles would have doubted whether she would use all her resources to acquire Zerg units.
After dealing with these matters, a surge of essce shot out, and Catherine and Medusa, kneeling on the g, eagerly caught the sem their master rewarded them with and swallowed it down.
He rubbed the heads of the two foolish slave girls and said mysteriously, "Alright, you two foolish slave girls, have you had ough to eat? It\'s time to get to work."
Their Zerg territory wasn\'t concerned about the so-called Crimson Tide, what Charles was concerned about was the terrain.
According to Eve and a few trading frids, the monsters or dark creatures attacking in the dark a them were mostly just first-tier low-class creatures. Here, he ev had a third-tier average Medusa Que, with second-tier creatures not uncommon.
These factors combined to give Charles the illusion that he had rooted himself in the emy\'s camp.
No, perhaps it wasn\'t an illusion.
The two wom nodded at his words, wiped the residue from their mouths, and prepared to go to various points to explore the darkness again.
Now, after a few days of Zerg developmt, the numbers had increased. He had increased the number of workers to about a thousand, three hundred zerglings and Toxic Banelings each, and an extra two hundred jumping worms. These were the currt combined units.
Due to the existce of the Arms Evolution template, the strgth of these unit types had basically reached betwe first-tier average and second-tier low-class through battles, with very few Zerg captains having the strgth of second-tier average.
The blade bugs were not included in the count. They were the exclusive guards of the Zerg Overlords, Ques, and heroes, all of them at a second-tier average.
With this wave of forces, they were more than ough to explore deeper into the darkness!
After tidying up, Charles, accompanied by Medusa, once again vtured into the darkness.
The purpose of this exploration was to find a place where the red mist was dser, place the main forces there, in order to fix the battlefield in one place and reinforce the troops at any time.
On the way, Medusa sniffed and said with a serious tone, "Master, the crimson tide is becoming stronger and stronger. If we hadn\'t cleared out most of the dark creatures before, we would probably be facing a huge wave of beasts."
Under the Crimson Tide, many dark creatures would go berserk, crazed to find blood for sustance, naturally increasing the survival rate of the Overlords.
However, Charles was not just any Overlord. He was a Zerg Overlord.
Upon hearing Medusa\'s words, he responded coldly, "In that case, we will lead the army to eradicate these dark creatures, and the Crimson Tide won\'t have any impact on our Zerg no matter how it erupts."
He was no longer the newbie who had just tered the first-tier, and he had the ability to wipe out everything within the Crimson Tide\'s range!
Medusa, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, shook her head, "Master, what I mean is, let\'s not clean out these dark creatures for now."
"The rule of the world in Overlord is the conservation of ergy. If we turn all this polluted blood into nutrits now, the Crimson Tide will surely bring out the great terror from the depths of darkness."
"Perhaps wh I had not fall into darkness, I wouldn\'t have cared about the so-called great terror, but not now."
The upper limit of the Tranquil Forest is the sixth tier. Medusa was brought down a level to become a member of the forest by the Serpt Emperor through a dark curse.
Charles was tak aback by her words, "Do you have any suggestions th?"
This was a saying that Charles had never heard of in his past life, truly worthy of being a princess from the Serpt Empire~
Hmm, now she was his personal pleasure slaves.
Medusa pondered for a while after hearing this, and finally said slowly, "I think we should abandon external plundering for now and focus on training our troops."
"I may not be outstanding, but I was once a princess who challged the Serpt clan and the Serpt Emperor. So I also know some of the Serpt clan\'s training methods."
"I wonder if the master would be willing to collect more Serpt beings and have them transformed into Zerg for me to personally instruct them?"
Her gaze was somewhat nervous, afraid that the master would think she was overarming herself. It was precisely because of this that the Serpt Emperor did not tolerate her and cursed her through conspiracy.
Fortunately, Charles was not someone who feared subordinates becoming too powerful.
Or rather, the idtity of the Zerg Overlord itself did not require specific merits to prove. He had be a dictator from the beginning: "That\'s not a problem."
"But I am curious, before you fell into darkness, what was your true strgth, and what about your elder sister, the Serpt Emperor?"
Charles was guinely curious. In his previous life, that Serpt Emperor had reached the elevth tier of strgth, ruling the Serpt clan and occupying part of the Contint of Overlord.
Elevth tier, not far from the legdary gods.
Medusa\'s expression faltered at his words, th she gritted her teeth and said, "Before falling into darkness, my strgth was sevth-tier high-class."
"And that Serpt Emperor, my elder sister, was one tier higher than me, at eighth-tier low-class. With the resources poured into the Serpt Empire and the Serpt Emperor\'s legacy, I estimate that she now has at least the strgth of the tth tier!"
"But don\'t think I\'m overestimating myself. The royals know each other best, so I know the biggest weakness. As long as you have the strgth of the sevth tier, I can make the tth-tier Serpt Emperor unable to do anything to you!"
The younger sister knows the elder sister the best. During their time in the Serpt Empire, they were evly matched.
The elder sister had high strgth and talt, while the younger sister played with politics, and trained in military tactics.
Unfortunately, it wasn\'t until Medusa was betrayed by her own subordinates that she realized the Serpt Emperor\'s political acum was not weaker than hers!
Charles didn\'t say much. After all, he had the Zerg system and the idtity of an Overlord. In this life, he would achieve godhood no matter what.
Wh the time came, he would have that Serpt Emperor serve alongside his little female slave, making the game ev more thrilling.
The two patrolled in the dark for a while, suring that the map layout they had planned earlier was correct before returning.
And this time, they were preparing for the arrival of the Crimson Tide.
Charles not only needed to weak the power of the dark creatures but also instructed Medusa to be the overall commander of the Serpt special units. Perhaps in a few days, she would build an elite Zerg team for Charles.
In the Tranquil Forest, the red mist began to thick. If one listed carefully, there were eerie roars coming from within the mist.
More and more people noticed that something was amiss and began privately buying Zerg warriors from number one to increase their sse of security.
Finally... the parchmt issued a warning.
[Atttion: The once-in-a-ctury bloody revelry is about to begin. Three days from now, the Crimson Tide will op. Wishing all Overlords a safe passage!]
