Everyone Has a Castle: I Choose Elves to be in My Army - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Rowling’s Confidence!

The youth sat cross-legged on the ground.

There was a hint of a blaze in his eyes as he looked at the black dragons hunting nearby.

He licked his dry lips that were about to peel off.

If he killed one of his battle units, he would be able to obtain a lot of resources.

After all, his Black Dragon troops had all had pure bloodlines!

What was a pure bloodline?

It was basically pure dragon blood that was not diluted by blood from any other races.

The young man was extremely lacking in resources.

Whether it was upgrading the castle or upgrading the military buildings, he faced a shortage due to the lack of monsters to hunt in his area.

In addition, he also needed to increase the strength of his battle units, thus he soon faced this resource problem.

Those black dragons stopped hunting monsters and twisted their bodies as they looked at the youth not far away.

Their eyes were filled with greed and wariness.

It was as if they had sensed the young man’s thoughts,

Seeing this, the young man quickly retracted his gaze.

A smile reappeared on his face.

What gave him a headache was…

The rapid decrease in the number of monsters caused the castle to face the crisis of a lack of food.

Due to the lack of food, he was unable to obtain the resources to upgrade the buildings.

It was a vicious cycle.

As the strength of his battle units increased, the requirement for their appetite was also very huge.

Without food, the loyalty of his battle units began to drop rapidly.

The young Black Dragon battle units only had a Loyalty Meter of 72 points at the moment.

This was a very dangerous number.

If the meter fell below 60 points…

There was a high chance that the battle units would betray him!

Or even kill the young man!

“I’ll overtake you, Gale.”

The young man said confidently.

However, he had to find a way to increase the loyalty of his battle unit. Otherwise, he might be attacked by his own battle units at any time.

In contrast, Gale had no need to worry about that.

His battle units’ loyalty had been locked at full value from the very beginning.

Loyalty would never decrease, let alone betray him.

This uniqueness also created an invisible advantage for Gale, as he did not need to search for ways to increase the loyalty of his troops.

He could completely focus on the development of the castle and the upgrade of the military buildings.

This was something other Castle Lords did not have.

…

On a boundless grassland.

A beautiful, tall and fair lady was leading a group of golden lions as they hunted a wolf pack.

The upgrade of the military building also gave the battle units a huge upgrade.

Rowling stopped hunting the herd of cows and focused on the more threatening wolves.

The wolves had high battle strength and some intelligence.

Their tiers would also be much higher than the cows.

It was suitable to be the Golden Lion Kings’ opponents.

At this rate, she was confident that she could surpass Gale.

Just as Rowling was lost in her thoughts.

The appearance of the Tier 8 horned dragon meat trampled on her pride again.

“Gale, just how strong are your battle units?”

Rowling stared at the horizon and murmured.

She was in despair.

It was true that Gale had slaughtered the entire Goblin tribe.

However, this only meant that his battle units were extraordinary.

In Rowling’s eyes, Gale’s strength should only be about the same as hers.

As long as she was given enough time, she would definitely be able to surpass him.

And now?

Gale could actually kill a Tier 8 horned dragon!

This forced Rowling to reverse her estimate of Gale’s strength.

For the battle units to actually be able to kill a Tier 8 creature, how strong did they have to be!

Just a couple of days ago, Rowling had totally been crushed by a Tier 5 creature.

However, today, her golden lions could easily hunt down Tier 5 grassland wolves.

It was enough to show that the battle units had improved rapidly in the past few days!

As her battle units improved, Rowling’s confidence grew.

It could be said that she had reached a totally new peak.

If not for the appearance of the Tier 8 horned dragon meat, she would have thought that it was only a matter of time before she surpassed Gale.

As of right now, facing a Tier 6 creature, Rowling practically had no way of resisting.

Let alone creatures close to Tier 9.

And yet, the horned dragon that was defeated was a Tier 8 spirit beast that possessed a dragon bloodline!

“It seems that you are indeed much stronger than me.”

“But I won’t give up so easily!”

“The novice period has not passed yet. Moreover, there is still a beast tide. Everything is unknown!”

“I still have hope of surpassing you!”

Rowling took a few deep breaths and quickly adjusted herself.

She had battle units with pinnacle aptitudes. This would be the capital to overtake him at the bend.

The beast tide was also an opportunity that Rowling had to grasp.

Gale’s power made her feel aware of her own weaknesses.

However, whoever’s points were the highest during the Beast Tide Assessment would obtain the Unique Reward.

As long as she obtained the Unique Reward, surpassing Gale would become exceptionally easy.

She cleared her mind and broke into a relaxed smile.

Under the light of the sun, one could vaguely see Rowling’s heart that was glowing again.

At the same time.

The information about Gale putting up the Tier 8 dragon meat, shook the hearts of many Castle Lords.

Among them were the Castle Lords who had pinnacle aptitude battle units.

Gale’s strength made them feel suffocated.

However, this feeling was very short-lived.

Almost instantly, these castle lords who had their own pinnacle battle units readjusted their mentalities and began a new round of preparations.

Perhaps this was why they had been chosen by the pinnacle aptitude battle units.

Only with a strong mentality could one survive in the Endless Land.

In the Ten Thousand Deities Residence…

Gale lay on the sofa, leisurely snacking on some delicious wild fruits.

He never cared about the opinions of others.

If he cared too much about it, it might backfire and cause him to be more troubled.

Gale would not do such a thankless task.

So what if the other Castle Lords set him as their target?

In order to surpass him, one had to have sufficient capital.

So far, Gale hadn’t found that kind of powerful Castle Lord that could threaten him.

It was also possible that they were hiding in the dark and had yet to surface.

What should come will come.

Gale firmly believed that with the power to look down on everything, all crises would automatically be resolved.

If not, then you are not strong enough!

“After tomorrow, the beast tide will come.”

Gale murmured.

A few days ago, he was indeed worried about the beast tide.

However, the Nightmare Team’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds, allowing him to be sure that they would safely survive the beast tide.

If Gale knew that Rowling, who was hailed as a ‘goddess’ by the Lord of the Castle, was going to fight for that Unique Reward as well, it would be unknown how he would feel.

Gale had decided to obtain that Unique Reward this time, and furthermore in a crushing manner.

Since he had chosen to fight for hegemony over the Endless Lands, he would have to bring out a strength that would leave one in despair.

This was the only way to qualify for whatever was next to come.

And this beast tide would eliminate a batch of ‘inferior’ castle lords.

At that time, those who survived would be those with certain survival skills.

The situation in the Endless Land would change accordingly.
