Chapter 869 Punishment
After his 'failure' of summoning 375 Silverfangs instead of proper Legendary Summons, Michael paid more attention to the Named Summoning Scrolls. At least he could tell what he would summon with these scrolls. That made everything a little bit more simplistic.
He created 2400x 3-Star Named Summoning Scrolls and 15 4-Star Named Scrolls with the remaining Ordinary Summoning Scrolls. Michael had to experiment a little with Insert and Extract to use the remaining Ordinary Summoning Scrolls efficiently until he gave up. Multiple highly efficient ways existed, yet finding the perfect one was too difficult because some factors were luck-based. Michael couldn't logically pinpoint luck-based factors. To be precise, he didn't think it would be worth the effort.
He obtained 100,000,000 Ordinary Summoning Scrolls every few months either way. It was the Valyr's payment for acquiring the Savannah Region from him. Therefore, Michael obtained them for free – basically.
Michael felt it would be the best decision to create combat Summoning Scrolls first. Still, he changed his mind and created a mix of Artisans, Architects, and a wide variety of Sorcerers – mostly Aqueous, Gaia, and Botanica Sorcerers – which could help with the construction of places such as water reservoirs, wells, and much more.
The 4-Star Sorcerers were also quite useful for combat, other than the Botanica Sorcerers, which was a great combi. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to wage war with anyone anytime soon, but Michael could tell that his hopes would be crushed relatively quickly. He had already been too lucky with his territories. It was only obvious, but Michael would have to fight valiantly fairly soon. He was bound to be pushed to the edge of existence soon. That was also how he focused on creating the Path Fortresses in Paradise Valley. He destroyed the Teleportation Chambers near the Blazing Sand Mountain Range, installed his short-distance teleportation arrays inside Paradise Valley, and created several paths leading out of Paradise Valley.
The paths lead through the Blazing Sand Mountain Range, just like he and his people had prepared beforehand, but Michael's workers had installed a few more traps that would trigger if strangers dared to enter the paths without permission.
That was nice, but the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs weren't too concentrated on getting rid of their punishment. It wasn't worth the effort, in their opinion. Not yet, at least.
They had already bought a Soultrait, which was upgraded to 3-Star as well. It would take a while for their mastery to reach a high level in the first place. Therefore, they weren't too bothered about losing access to the Jungle Shop.
At least, that's what they said until the information of the leftover Lords in the Sacred Desert reached Michael and his subordinates.
The scouts shared news of a few fighting Lords and that the Human Lords in the Sacred Desert defeated their enemies one after another until only a few territories – territories connected, yet not adequately combined – were left. Michael listened intently to the reports and listened when he listened the description of the Lords and Awakened leading the battles.
Michael's expression distorted into a hideous grimace.
The Blaze household was in the Sacred Desert.
They were the last leftover Lords in the Sacred Desert.
