Chapter 92

Within a majestic stone castle at the centre, three green creatures were sitting on large wooden chairs around a table. One wore a quaint green crown on its head, while the others were dressed in official garbs.

These green creatures had a humanoid shape, with green scaly skin and a large green protrusion coming out of their backs. Their shade was largely similar to the caterpillars outside.

''Your Majesty, the defensive swarm has been eliminated, the enemies have come across the portal. What should we do?''

One of the official creatures spoke panickedly, addressing the king in the centre.

The king radiated the order of a High Rank 1 Warrior, while the two officials had Middle Rank 1 Strength.

''Ah it's hopeless, we can only hope to escape. Tell my servants to pack up our belongings and we will leave through the portal.''

The king said resignedly. A look of defeat on his face.

''Your Majesty! Bad news! Human Warriors have entered through the portal! All the guards on the wall have been killed and they have surrounded the castle!''

An anxious sweating servant ran in desperately.

''What! What happened to the guards?!'' The king cried angrily.

''My lord, all the soldiers are Warriors! And there are 7 Middle Rank Warriors! We couldn't stop them. Even general doofenshmirtz died in battle!''

Hearing this the King and the officials panicked immediately. The entire kingdom has 3 Middle Rank 1 Soldiers and 1 High Rank 1 Warrior! And the general is one of them.

''Quick! Forget the treasury, lets run immediately the portal can be activated instantly.''

The king ignored the mortal servant and ran straight out of the room, followed closely by the officials. On the way he picked up a small boy only 6 years old before he ran into a small white array.

Then they disappeared into god knows where.

On the other side, behind the army, EG1 immediately whispered to Samuel, ''Master, the only threat has disappeared.''

''Yes I know, it should be easy from here.'' Samuel said as he watched the IronBlood Legion massacre the green guards in the castle. Only 2-3 of the enemies were warriors, the rest were just mortals.

Samuel found that this place was actually a small Plane. Planes are basically the same as planets, except they are flat.

However this plane is incredibly small. From what Samuel can tell it is barely the size of a town on Earth!

It consists of one main city and a couple of small villages built for farming.

Through the torture and information gathering done by Samuel, he learnt the origin of this race. They are the Swarm Caterpillars.

The Royalty of the Caterpillars can split into weaker caterpillars through the use of Spiritual Energy. But these caterpillars will die out after a couple of days meaning they are used as a last line of defence or attack.

And they cost a huge amount of Spiritual Energy, so the King needs to consume a lot of Spiritual Crystals to develop any Swarms!

The overall population of this Plane is only around 100,000 and there are no more than 100 warriors in the entirety of the city.

The only potential threat was the King in the castle, however Samuel just sensed that he had disappeared.

Therefore the plane was Samuels for the taking! Quickly the IronBlood Legion killed any remaining threats of Warriors and charged into the castle.

Anyone found within the castle were killed, women, children, old men, chiefs, servants, everyone.

Ordinary mortals outside could be kept alive, but those within the castle definitely couldn't. Samuel knows enough about Mediaeval society to know that those who can enter the castle are definitely trusted staff.

Samuel went straight to the treasury within the Plane, it was a large basement, filled with gold coins and some basic weapons.

There were no Spiritual Crystals whatsoever, clearly they had all been used for the creating the Swarm.

But Samuel did find two objects which made his eyes shine. The first was a small bracelet, which exuded a powerful aura.

It was a Low Mortal Artifact! And Samuel quickly learnt it's ability, it's a space storage Artifact.

Compared to the Spaceback pack, the Space Bracelet is used by the stronger Warriors in the Eternal Battlefield.

Within it, there were 4 Pseudo-Artifacts and a few ordinary iron sets of Armour. Not much in comparison with the 200 Metre Storage space within the ring!

But it was better than nothing. There were also some basic gold coins and silver coins, probably the currency widely used within this Plane.

Samuel easily counted tens of thousands of Golden Coins within the Space bracelet. And after collecting the coins around the Treasury the number grew to 20,000.

Although these have no practical use for Samuel right now, Gold is still a useful resource and can be used to produce various items and even equipment.

But the next item was what really made Samuels eyes glow. It was a small pendant, bearing the insignia of a small caterpillar.

However Samuel saw a Prompt come up when he held it.

[Detected that a Host's Dog of War has found a permanent attribute booster, does the host wish to absorb it?]

''Yes, absorb it !'' Samuel immediately smiled happily and shouted out loud, startling the quivering servant in the corner who led the way to the treasury.

[Pendant of Restoration (Permanent Booster for All Dogs of War and Host): 10% increase in speed of Energy Restoration, 5% reduction to consumption of Energy.]

''Awesome! Very Suitable for the Caterpillar Swarms'' For the caterpillars who rely heavily on energy for creation of the Swarm, this is definitely a godly booster for them.

But it is definitely useful for Samuel, not only can the Dogs of War recover quickly after a fight and be ready to fight again, they can last longer in a fight than someone else!

Although not a direct increase in combat power, it is definitely very useful. Take the fight today against the swarm as an example.
