The cheers rose and flowed for a few minutes before subsided.

Marius stood up, walked up to Wren and said:

"You won. ”

His face was very complicated, he had not tasted defeat for many years, even if he encountered an opponent or enemy who was too strong when he was young, he could easily escape, but he did not expect to be defeated by a young human in a head-to-head confrontation.

And it was to lose Makgora in front of all the clansmen.

"Your Excellency the Patriarch has conceded. Wren saw that the other party was in a bad mood and said modestly.

"You don't have to comfort me with such words, a loss is a loss, your strength is stronger than mine, that's a fact. Marius was a little unhappy, and his voice was a little higher, but he touched the injury, and he felt that his whole body was in pain, as if he was about to fall apart.

He glanced at Wren, and there was not even a single scar on his skin, just like it had before the duel.

Just looking at the state on the outside, it is clear who is strong and who is weak.

Wren smiled helplessly.

In fact, it was not easy for him to win, and it could even be said that it was more difficult, and after this duel, only more than 30% of the mobile phone's battery was consumed, and most of the power was used to repair the injury.

Without absorbing souls to replenish, his physical strength was actually inferior to Marius, who was close to the middle level of the legend.

If Marius's fury had lasted longer, and had dragged on for another ten minutes, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

Of course, a win is a win, and there is no need to make superfluous explanations.

Wren beckoned, and Sicarius, who was outside the dueling circle, hurriedly came over and handed back the Mithril necklace. He took his clothes out of the ring and put them on, and at the same time took out an intermediate healing scroll and opened it.

A burst of white light fell on Marius, quickly healing his injuries.

"Whew...... Thanks a lot. ”

Marius's pain was greatly relieved, and as he went to pick up the greatsword, he said, "I'll let you know later, and those who are willing to join the Ultramarines can sign up with the lord today." ”

Wren nodded happily, this patriarch is a cheerful person.

"But," Mariuston paused, "according to our previous agreement, you can only recruit twenty-nine clansmen this time. Whether or not the number of people can be expanded in the future depends on the development of Astarte and the sincerity of the lord. ”

"I will show the patriarch and my brothers my sincerity. Wren replied earnestly.

"I hope so. ”

Marius didn't speak again, turning and entering Astarte.

Wren also opened any door and returned to the airship to rest.

Soon, the news of the lord's recruitment of Ultramarines spread throughout the city, and after a night of publicity and the just-finished Makogora, many Makulag people were eager to sign up for the airship.

In just half an hour, more than a hundred Makulags had gathered outside the airship.

From young boys to strong old men, and even a few female savages, their strength is not weaker than the men of the clan.

However, they do not have the talent of Primordial Symbiosis and are destined to become extreme warriors.

Wren observed with the eye of the soul, most of the more than 100 makurags were mediocre in strength, equivalent to beginner-level transcendentals.

The people of Makulag are naturally brave, but that doesn't mean that every one of them can reach the strength of a mid-tier warrior.

The Makulags who dared to leave the plateau and venture into the empire were among the best of the tribes.

Wren secretly counted that about a quarter of the adult Maculags were mid-level warriors, and there were no more than three hundred in the entire clan!

Those Makulags of average strength can only be regarded as beginner-level warriors.

They can also become Ultramarines, but they need to invest more soul power to reach the level of the first Ultramarines.

Soul power is not easy to come by, and the number of places is limited.

Rennes will definitely give preference to applicants with outstanding strength.

And not every middle-level warrior wants it, the overall folk customs of the Macurag people are simple, and the vast majority of people have no scheming, and only seek strength and glory, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and it is inevitable that there will be a few ill-intentioned, clandestine and slippery guys.

Wren asked a few casual questions, and he could tell the treacherous at a glance.

After some screening, we eliminated the unscrupulous ones, and finally selected twenty-nine Makulags, all of whom were mid-level warriors, including the patriarch guard named Dulan.

Wren didn't know what Duran had told Marius.

However, Marius obviously agreed, otherwise he would not take the initiative to dissolve the symbiotic relationship, which caused Dulan's strength to fall from the high level to the middle level.

In addition to Doran, there was another person who had also been Marius' bodyguard.

When Wren was questioning, the color of their souls was normal, not like the eyeliner that Marius deliberately sent to him, so he accepted it.

In the cargo hold of the airship, the recruited Macurags took turns to swear a blood oath of loyalty to Wren.

"Loyalty is my life...... I...... In the witness of Gilliman, dedicate his loyalty to Rennes Augustus...... Always loyal, never betrayal!"

One blood oath after another was completed.

On Wren's Soul World Tree, leaves sprouted one after another.

Every ten leaves hang on the same branch, and finally reach six branches, and the list of extreme warrior avatars in the mobile phone interface is constantly increasing.

After completing the Blood Oath, their bodies were strengthened and transformed, and their strength skyrocketed to a high level within a few minutes, equivalent to a seventh-level transcendent!

The new Ultramarines are intoxicated by this powerful power, and their emotions fluctuate violently.

Excitement, shock, and joy.

"Brothers, welcome to the Extreme Warband!"

Sicarius and the other Ultramarines said happily, then took out the prepared armor, greatsword, and Rambo spear from the large chest, helped them put them on, and taught them the initial techniques of use.

By the time the last Makulag became an Ultramarine, Wren's World Tree was already in full bloom, like a real tree.

He was surrounded by Ultramarines in the middle, his eyes slightly closed, and he was silent.

The entire cargo hold fell silent.

"What's the boss thinking?"

"What's wrong?"

"Gilliman is on top!

"Haha, I'm finally an Ultramarine, uh...... Why didn't the boss talk to everyone? Did something happen?"

Dozens of voices sounded in Wren's head, the hearts of each symbiote converged, each voice had its own thoughts, noisy and chaotic, like countless mosquitoes buzzing in his ears, pervasive, constantly interfering with his thoughts, only listening to it for a few seconds, he was a little restless, and he suspected that he would be schizophrenic after listening to it for a long time.

It felt similar to the onset of the Blood Soul Curse, and it was even a little more powerful.

"I almost couldn't stand it......"

Wren rubbed his forehead, took a deep breath, focused his thoughts, and the leaves of the World Tree, which represented the will to truth, shone brightly.

Suddenly, these annoying voices were silenced until they could no longer be heard.

But with the slightest distraction, distractions can return.

Fortunately, the Will of Truth is similar to a constant spell, and it only needs to consume a little more soul power to maintain a higher state of protection, and it will not give the symbiote a chance to take advantage of it.

"That's it!"

Wren clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the Ultramarines.

His gaze swept over the sixty Ultramarines, who stood in the cargo compartment, each wearing heavy armor and carrying giant swords and machine guns, although they were small in number, they exuded no less power than a complete transcendent army!

These powerful and loyal subordinates will be the foundation of their rise in the empire.

"First of all, welcome the new brothers. ”

Wren said happily, making eye contact with the twenty-nine new members of the warband, one by one.

Every ultramariner who was seen by Wren responded excitedly with his head held high.

"In the short term, there shouldn't be any new brothers joining. Wren continued: "Our next arrangement is training, everyone must familiarize themselves with their strength and weapons as soon as possible, and when the base on the plateau is built, I will divide the brothers into five squads." ”

"Each squad consists of twelve people, with a captain and a mentor. ”

The Ultramarines looked at each other, they had never heard of the position of Mentor before.

Sicarius raised his hand and asked, "Boss, what does the mentor do?"

Wren explained: "The captain and the mentor are at the same level, the captain is responsible for directing combat operations and daily training, and the mentor's duty is to manage the organizational life, psychology and beliefs of the team members, and of course, most importantly, loyalty. ”

When it comes to faith and loyalty, everyone can't help but suddenly think, "It's a pastor." ”

Wren smiled playfully and didn't explain.

He is going to pick out five extreme fighters with ideological potential, train them (brainwash), and do the job of a mentor.

Wren still has a lot of ideas for the Extreme War Regiment, and the organization and establishment, weapons and equipment upgrades, tactical drills, etc., all need to be explored and practiced one by one.

However, it is imperative to find a suitable location for the base.

Wren arranged the task and asked the Ultramarines to move down a dozen large boxes in the cargo hold, which contained materials for building a teleportation array, and temporarily stored them in the warehouse in Astarte, and then sent people to guard them in turn.

The mission of the airship is over.

The next matter of building the base should not be known to outsiders, Wren asked Isu, Sicarius and Terrion to take a few ultramarines to escort the airship back to the empire.

He signed a contract with the mechanics union, so that he would not have to pay for the airship when it returned to Jubil Hill.

In the afternoon, the airship left Astarte.

Wren also jumped on the fire dragon and took off.

There were only four Ultramarines in the group, and they sat on the back of the fire dragon on the other, which was Cronuan's mount. All four of them have a wealth of hunting experience, and are not only familiar with the environment of the plateau, but also familiar with the location of some of the dragon's lair.

"Where is our first destination?" Wren asked in mid-air.

Cronouan pointed northwest of Astarte and replied loudly, "Boss, let's look there first, I remember there are several hidden valleys that may meet the boss's requirements." ”
