Chapter 20 Power Unleashed
Following Starfire City, the Talos family quickly established two more cities, Blackrock City and Black Iron City. However, these two cities were not really established; they were simply other cities that were renamed.
The Talos family now owns three cities, even if they are only of average quality. The combined population of these three cities, reaching as high as 20 million, is astonishing and delightful to many.
With a population of 20 million, Starfire City alone accounts for the majority of the population. Without the support of the territory provided by Karl, life would still be difficult for ordinary people in the magical world of Yulan Continent. Many towns might only have tens of thousands of people, and even the larger ones might only have a hundred thousand or so.
As the founder of the Talos family and the only Saint-level expert in Talos, Karl, who commands the three cities, has high expectations for these three cities. With the three cities watching over and helping each other, Karl expanded his territory on a larger scale, with his own mansion as the center. Within the area expanded by Karl, anyone who considers themselves to be under Karl's rule will be considered a resident of Karl's territory after reaching the level of a third-level warrior.
However, Karl is no longer the same person who couldn't even fill tens of thousands of slots. After gathering the remaining two cities, the number of level three warriors under Karl's command has truly exceeded one million.
After all, it is a top-tier magical world. Unless ordinary people are born with disabilities or are weak and sickly, everyone on the Yulan Continent will start to cultivate diligently from a young age. Under this atmosphere, there are countless first-level warriors who are fifteen or sixteen years old. In addition, the Yulan Continent seems peaceful, but that is only for people at the Saint Realm level. For ordinary people, life is difficult, and only by becoming a warrior can they change their situation. And after becoming a warrior, the fastest way to change their current situation is to become a soldier.
Even if the death rate of soldiers is no less than half, when they have served in the military for ten years, in their parents' eyes, their children have the strength of a first-class soldier at the age of sixteen. After ten years of service, they will be a good fighter in the territory. As for those who do not come back, they may be sad for a while, but life still has to go on.
This is the cruel reality of the underworld on the Yulan Continent, and in Karl's territory, at least this scene will be avoided as much as possible.
Commanding the three cities, Karl primarily used the area of influence of his territory within the system. In the presence of the nobles of the three cities and some envoys from earls and marquises, Karl named this territory Tianfeng County.
These cities, named by Karl based on his own sacred domain attributes, are Starfire City, Blackrock City, and Black Iron City. These three cities will serve as the defensive cities protecting Tianfeng County. As for the Talos family's top priority after controlling a county, it is naturally to control a real county city.
After the fall of the Kingdom of Anlan, there were already some vacancies in the lordship of this county town. Karl quickly took complete control of it, and the Talos family completed another relocation.
Perhaps years from now, members of the Talos family will mention the ancestral home of the Talos family in Starfire Town, but no one will remember it now.
The territory of a prefecture city far exceeds that of a county town, and while level nine warriors on the Yulan Continent may seem insignificant in the eyes of the Holy Domain, in reality, level nine warriors wield immense power.
Karl's decision to occupy the county town caused several level-nine experts who had initially considered it to halt their advance upon hearing the news. After all, in their eyes, the Talos family boasted three level-nine experts, one of whom was suspected to be a peak level-nine powerhouse. With such family prestige, even if other level-nine experts coveted the benefits brought by the county town, the Anlan Kingdom had already perished, and there were still many unclaimed counties on the former site of the kingdom. It was not worth making enemies with a suspected peak level-nine powerhouse for the sake of a single city.
Magnolia Calendar, 8325.
On an ordinary day, Karl, who had been building up his fighting spirit for nearly thirty years, finally took the final step.
[Automatic AFK Training System]
[Host: Karl]
Age: 300
[Level: Saintly Realm (10000/10000)]
[Family: Talos (Level 2)]
[Territory: Starfire Town (Level 2)]
[Faith: None]
[Cultivation: Sacred Domain (10000/10000) Power of Heaven and Earth (10000/10000)]
"The day has finally come."
Karl looked at himself, having spent nearly thirty years, his age increasing from less than 270 to 300. The time he had was for his eldest son, who was his only son. He wanted to delay so that his son could live a stable life until he reached the peak of the Saint Realm, and perhaps even have the opportunity to achieve the Saint Realm in the future.
"It will only take a few years."
Looking at his battle qi, which had reached its limit, it was as if his body was already full and could not increase his battle qi by even a little bit. This was the limit of the early stage of the Saint Realm.
Along with this came Karl's understanding of the power of heaven and earth. Although Karl knew many aspects of this power, he didn't necessarily truly understand it.
This feeling is like an exam paper where you've either seen the original version of all the questions or done similar questions before, but how many people can actually hand in a perfect score?
In Karl's view, the power of heaven and earth might be a test paper, and the question bank is the entire world. When one has a complete understanding of the power of heaven and earth, it is equivalent to having read all the questions in the world.
However, if you want to comprehend the profound mysteries of the laws through the power of heaven and earth, you must pass the test with flying colors.
"Unfortunately, I don't need to figure it out myself."
How can one's own cultivation compare to the substantial benefits of points allocated by the system?
"System, add it for me!"
Karl's eyes swept over the elemental seeds he had been eyeing for so long in the shop.
There was still some regret in my heart; the system was ultimately too rigid.
Ten million points vanished instantly, and a seed belonging to the [Wind Element] appeared in Karl's eyes.
As the element of wind merged into his soul, Carlton felt his very soul tremble.
The feeling was as if life was undergoing a transformation. Looking around, I noticed that there were clearly more things around me.
"So this is what the legendary state of 'seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as not a mountain, and seeing a mountain as a mountain again' means."
After incorporating the [Wind Element], Karl looked around and clearly sensed a pale blue element in the world; he knew this was the Wind Element.
"Is this an increase in elemental affinity?" Karl wondered.
After all, in common sense, it is very difficult to achieve the Saint Realm without high-level elemental affinity. Even the protagonist of the original work first entered the Saint Realm as a warrior. After obtaining the eternal life that belongs to the Saint Realm, his soul and body underwent a transformation, which allowed his magical abilities to reach the Saint Realm level. Later, he relied on the defensive capabilities of the Saint Realm peak to enter the 100x accelerator of the Yulan Continent and finally entered the God Realm in a short period of time.
