"Finally! Our Angel Castle also has a King Tier powerhouse!" Haru smiled. The Six-Winged Archangel, Mary, and the Angel of Love, Seraphina, both advanced to King Tier at the same time. This made him even happier than his own advancement to the Tier 9. At the same time, Haru discovered that after promotion to the King Tier, Mary and Seraphina had grown in height to around 1.5 meters. They had also entered their [Growth Stage] period. They weren't too far from getting to their [Complete Body] period. On the bodies of the Six-Winged Archangel, Mary, and Seraphina, the Angel of Love, Haru could already see the shadow of an adult angel.
"As expected for Angels. Their appearance and physique are all flawless!" The appearance of Mary and Seraphina stunned Haru. Their beauty couldn't be described in words. If one had to describe it, it would be pure and holy, giving others a feeling that it couldn't be blasphemed.
At this moment the dense forest outside the Castle suddenly erupted with a series of shouts. A voice disrupted Haru's thoughts. He looked up and saw a dense swarm of Gnomes rushing out from the dense forest. The Gnomes were equipped with crude weapons. They were generally very weak and most of them were only Tier 3. However, they did not fear death. They charged forward towards the beast tide that surrounded Angel Castle.
"Kill all these evil wild monsters, protect the Lord's Castle! Dark power cannot sully Lord's Castle! Charge!!"
Many Gnomes were howling. The Gnome Elder, who was a fanatic, was at the front. Hundreds of Gnome warriors rushed over and attacked the beast tide from behind. At the same time, Haru discovered that many of the Gnome warriors were stained with blood. Most of the weapons in their hands were damaged, and some of the Gnomes were bleeding as they ran. Their journey had not been smooth.
Haru's guess was correct. The reason why the Gnomes had come so late was because they had fought the monsters in the forest halfway through. A whole thousand Gnomes had fought their way out of the forest, leaving less than seven hundred of them alive. The other Gnomes died in the forest.
However, the Gnomes were not without gains. The surviving Gnomes had gained a large amount of 'experience points' and almost all of them had advanced by at least a single level. Some of them had even advanced to the elite rank. By killing enemies and gaining experience points to level up, this was an exclusive benefit for the troops of Castle Lords. After the Gnome Tribe had joined Angel Castle, they had also become Haru's troops. They could enjoy this benefit.
"Believe in the Lord and have eternal life!"
"If you don't believe in Lord, then die!"
"Kill!!"
The Gnomes were howling. Faith meant loyalty! They were fearless and rushed into the beast tide like a flood and were inspired by the power of faith. They even forcibly tore a gap in the beast tide. The wild monsters on the battlefield were also a little dumbfounded. They didn't understand why the local Gnomes had come to join the fun. Of course, this thought only lasted for a few milliseconds, and then it disappeared.
Following that, a large number of wild monsters that had lost their rationality turned their attacks and started to fight with the Gnome army. Instantly, their limbs flew everywhere, and blood splashed everywhere. The wild monsters continued to fall and the brave Gnomes suffered casualties as well. However, every time the Gnomes died, their pure souls would float in the air with the power of faith.
[Your High-Level building, the Holy Temple, has attracted twenty-three Gnome souls. Do you want to accept them?]
[Yes] [No]
"Automatically accept all souls!" Haru replied. As soon as he finished speaking, the Gnomes' souls drifted towards the Temple nearby. After that, the Temple also took the souls of the dead Gnomes away. Even with the current strength of the Angel Team, they could completely withstand the beast tide. There was no need for the Gnome Tribe to participate. However, he didn't stop them, nor did he tell the Gnomes to retreat.
In a war, casualties were inevitable. If they hadn't experienced war, his Gnome troops would have been at a lower rank for a long time. Their strength will be too weak to be useful. Just like the world announcement said, the battle for hegemony was a path of blood and fire. Only the Castle Lords, who have experienced this cruel test had the right to stand at the peak of the Endless Continent and grasp the Throne Of God King!
The core meaning of these words was the same for the Gnome Tribe. If they did not experience the slaughter of war, how could they grow into powerful Gnome warriors? Moreover, the heroic sacrifice of the Gnomes was not meaningless. After the battle of the beast tide ended, Haru would rely on the Angel Reincarnation Pool and allow the spirits of the Gnomes to be reborn as light-attribute troops. The newly born light attribute Gnomes might have more potential. At this moment, Haru was suddenly puzzled. He asked in his mind.
'Why didn't the spirit of Gnomes who died in the forest get led by the Holy Temple?'
[Holy Temple only receives the souls of the soldiers who died within the Castle's territory! Raising the level of the Holy Temple could expand the range of receiving the souls of troops.]
'Can the Holy Temple be upgraded?' Haru was a little surprised. He felt like he had entered a knowledge blind spot. The Holy Temple was built through blueprint. Unlike the Castle or the Angel Reincarnation Pool, there was no notification of whether or not he could level up the Holy Temple. It was directly a high-level building. Haru had originally thought that building based on blueprints would not level up. A moment later, a message answered.
[Special blueprints and other 'Building Upgrade' blueprints can upgrade all Castle buildings, including the Holy Temple.]
"'Building Upgrade' blueprint?" Haru took a breath. He discovered that blueprints were becoming more and more bizarre. There were not only [Bloodline Evolution Blueprints] and [Troop Summoning Blueprints] but even [Building Upgrade Blueprints] had appeared. Even though he did not get them till now, he confirmed that they existed.
"If I can get a building upgrade blueprint. I definitely won't use it to rank up the Holy Temple. I will not hesitate to rank up the Angel Reincarnation Pool!" The rank of barracks has always been the core for the Castle Lords. In comparison, the upgrade of the Castle was not that important, let alone a subsidiary building like the Holy Temple!
"I don't want to just sit doing nothing." Haru wielded the Sword of Gnome Chief and charged into the battlefield to fight the monsters nearby. He had reached Tier 9. He also had High-Level armor and the High-Level defensive magic, Light of Protection. There was also the Angel of Love, Seraphina, and the Six-Winged Archangel, Mary, who have added a double layer of Holy Shield on him.
