Chapter 907 - The Last Nest
Chapter 907: The Last Nest
The summoned spirits had returned from their respective magic monster nests.
Rhode felt relieved after Celia worked well with the Divine Unicorns. As for how he should handle them, he already had a solution. The unicorns commonly appeared in the history of the Dragon Soul Continent with all sorts of usages and he was prepared to form a team of riders with unicorns as their mounts. As for the riders… The humanoids would be in charge.
This was in fact a strategy created by players during the middle stages of the game. Back then, one of the player territories possessed a Divine Unicorn nest and they eventually formed a team of riders with Spirit Swordsmen and Divine Unicorns as mounts, which was incredibly effective against the invasion of the Undead Creatures at the later stages. Unicorns were pure creatures and wouldn’t be easily affected by mental spells. Besides, they contained pure strength of light and Order and certain resistance toward the undead and Chaos. Moreover, they could fly and matched with the Spirit Swordsmen who could summon spirits into battles, they were as though hundreds of air commanders. Furthermore, with the comprehensiveness of the Spirit Swordsmen, they would be impressive attackers on surface or air.
It was due to these reasons that Rhode immediately put building a team of unicorn riders on his schedule. And the reason why he chose humanoids was because they held higher success rates in becoming Spirit Swordsmen than the ordinary Order Refugees. Of course, Rhode had also discussed with Marlene about ‘man-made humanoids’. But he felt disappointed because it would require a whole lot of time and money. Moreover, the materials were extremely precious and expensive, where he couldn’t build an army of tens of thousands of humanoids even if he could obtain the materials within the Void Territory. At this point in time, 200 to 300 humanoids would be more than enough.
The magical tools to create humanoids were damaged over the millennia and needed repair. Rhode was already facing a hard time maintaining the current humanoids, not to mention fixing the magical tools. Fortunately, the humanoids had more or less learned some magic technological skills. Even though they weren’t on par with Lapis, they were still on a relatively high level.
On the other hand, the response from Gracier and Madaras about the centaurs was also decent. The centaurs residing in the forest seemed satisfied after receiving attention from the dragon soul heir. After they confirmed that their rights won’t be violated, they were willing to work for Rhode. He had decided to station them around the borders as garrisons. With their nature to roam the forest, patrolling couldn’t get more convenient for them.
But bad news often came after good news.
And Celestina was the bearer of one.
Even though Rhode knew that the Lustful Demons were a difficult bunch, judging from Celestina’s mad looks, it was apparent that she had completely lost the negotiations. As expected, although the Lustful Demons agreed to Rhode’s jurisdiction, they requested for an area of their own and requested permission for them to ‘freely’ punish those who trespassed. Celestina couldn’t care less about the potential number of people dying in their hands. On the contrary, it was their brazen challenge and bargain with Rhode’s authority that made it unacceptable. Both parties couldn’t reach a conclusion and Celestina left fuming, leaving this terrible mess to Rhode.
