Even Alicia was taken aback by Jerome's shameless attitude. She couldn't help but question if he even shared the same blood as Jax, as elder brothers were meant to protect their younger siblings. However, instead of being a protector, Jerome acted as a bully towards Jax. His greed and ambition drove him to want everything that Jax had, and he was never satisfied, even after swindling part of Jax's inheritance through deceit.Jerome knew that his father rarely paid attention to this area, resulting in low surveillance on him. This knowledge fueled his actions, as he was confident that the spies in this region wouldn't have the courage to report him to his father, considering Jax's status as a bastard and the Village he was given being in a dilapidated state. Furthermore, Jerome had already bribed most of the spies he knew, ensuring that they wouldn't dare offend someone who held so much potential compared to Jax.While Jax's future appeared bleak, as if he wouldn't even survive the
"Come back,"Jerome ordered the moment he realized that his second captain was about to be defeated, a situation too embarrassing for him to bear.It meant that just one of Jax's captains could handle two of his special captain he took pride in."Ohhh! Stop, Connor," Jax said with feigned surprise."I thought you had confidence in your capable captains, why do they look like they're running away with their tails between their legs?"Jax asked Jerome, a sly smile on his face, relishing the opportunity to disparage his brother."(Snorts) You can keep feeling proud of yourself for now, but know that you are nothing great. So what if you have a slightly stronger captain than me? I have about ten of them," Jerome retorted."So what if your captain defeats two of mine?, I'll just send five over to him next time, And if five isn't enough, I'll send all my ten captains"" And if that's still not enough, I'll send all my soldiers," Jerome snorted in anger."Wow, it seems you don't even value th
"Let us experiment on your soldiers' bloodline with your Hero's Blood and find a serum that would automatically upgrade them to Tier 2 warriors, and those that come after them would be able to breakthrough the Tier 2 rank easily"the scientist proposed, causing Jax to gasp in awe at the idea.He couldn't help but contrast this scientist's willingness to offer advice and a discounted price with the purely greedy dwarf leader he had been working with."I'm interested, Tell me how much for everything?"Jax asked eagerly, fully committed to the idea."Well, I would work on upgrading your barracks, but I think your builder team should focus on constructing the factory for us,That is where our project will begin," the leading scientist explained."And it will take about a day to yield results, so the faster the factory is built, the sooner we will have the serum,"The leader scientist continued, absentmindedly stroking his clean-shaven jaw, like there was some beards there.This news only ma
It had been some time since Jerome had left Jax's small kingdom, and Jax had been diligently working to make up for his past shortcomings. Fortunately, he was beginning to feel more confident in himself.Firstly, after the completion of the factory lab, the scientists wasted no time in upgrading Jax's soldiers to the next level with the new serum they developed using Connor's blood , resulting in a more reliable and formidable group. Jax was no longer as concerned about their numbers, as all of them were now Tier 2 warriors who had become significantly stronger than before.[Barbarian Soldiers]Stars: ☆ ☆ (can be evolved)Key Points:- Very strong- The more soldiers there are, the more damage they can inflict- They possess a rage skill that doubles their power when activated, but also makes them weakerafter the duration ends.

He looked at her and noticed that she was nearly the same height as Connor. However, she was fully clothed in leather armor, unlike Connor. Her hair was intricately braided, adorned with a beautiful flower crown that added to her valiant aura. With one hand placed on her chest, she lightly bowed her head before Jax."I greet my liege," she said."You are welcomed," Jax replied with a smile on his face. Finally, he felt relieved that he had a second captain-level hero. With her presence, he felt confident in his ability to defend against the smaller kings of the Orc empire if they ever attacked his kingdom. This was the security he had been seeking.His next plan was to upgrade all the remain wooden walls around his small town to stone walls, further improving the defense of his city. He also decided to check the status of the A****n Archer Queen, comparing it to Connor's status.[HERO]Name: A****n Archer QueenStars: ☆Key Points:- Commander of all Archers under the King- Exp
Jax and his warriors quickly marched to the designated ambush location,he was surprised by the speed at which they moved. Despite being on foot, as they were nearly as fast as those riding horses. Jax attributed this to the fact that they were spawned by the system, so they didn't experience fatigue like normal soldiers, when marching.After a long march, they stealthily positioned themselves in the bushes, with the A****n Archer Queen staying by Jax's side. Even though Jax insisted that he was capable of fighting alone, Connor refused to leave his side unless Jax allowed the Archer Queen to protect him. This surprised Jax, as it was the first time Connor had defied his orders. Connor explained that in war, he was the commander and only took orders that related to achieving victory. However, in the kingdom, Jax was the king, and if he deemed Connor's attitude unworthy, he had the right to punish him after the war. After hearing this, Jax couldn't bring himself to blame or punish
The battle concluded in less than twenty minutes, with the Orc King and his other two Tier 2 subordinates swiftly captured like helpless chickens. Jax was astonished by the lack of support needed from the archers, who only fired three salvos of arrows, killing a mere hundred and fifty Orc warriors. Before the barbarian soldiers showcased their incredible strength by easily rounding up the remaining Orcs.The Orcs could only scream in fear as the arrows from the archers claimed their lives, unable to avoid being struck in vital areas no matter how they defended themselves. These archers seemed godlike, capable of annihilating any opponent below the Tier 1 warrior realm with each draw of their bows. The battle came to a close without the two Heroes even needing to participate, as Connor skillfully led his warriors.Standing atop the hill, emanating the presence and prestige of an instinct commander, While the Archer Queen remained by Jax's side throughout. Unfortunately, Jax never
Jax and his squad of soldiers rode for about an hour before reaching his Town. The areas surrounding his town were mostly filled with forest and remained unused. Adjusting himself on top of the horse, Jax couldn't help but feel his numb butt after the long ride. Despite his newfound powers as a Tier 1 warrior, he still struggled with the unfamiliar sensations of horseback riding.As they approached, Jax noticed the Tier 2 Orcs being tied and dragged by some of the Barbarian soldiers, who laughed at the sight of the Orcs beards flaring. The outline of his town came into view, and his initial feeling of contentment started to morph into worry. He pondered on how he would explain to his wife that he had been out fighting against Orcs instead of the demonic beasts he claimed to be battling.Upon spotting their arrival, the archers in the tower blew their trumpets and ordered the soldiers to open the gates for the returning king. The citizens near the town gates quickly began celebrat
