Chapter 243: New Power (I)
Leon understood exactly what the Kod priest's words meant.
Mu Xiu is bound to be destroyed by the forest wind, as a local noble little lord, he is too eye-catching in this expedition against the barbarians, and the most troublesome thing is that he is also regarded as a temple.
This identity stigma may not be what Leon wants, but it is something he cannot give up and can easily get rid of, enjoying the benefits while inevitably acknowledging obligations and responsibilities.
If Leon continues to participate in this war and regain his achievements and become a hero in the limelight, those high-ranking big men are likely to stretch out their black hands to suppress him, and some will send him into the abyss.
The simplest thing is to send him on a dangerous mission, and although Leon and the Third Wargroup have a prior agreement, this agreement obviously does not apply to orders from the upper echelons of the kingdom.
Leon is not a reckless and impulsive hot-blooded teenager, he has experienced far more darkness than ordinary people imagine, but Rao is like this, and his heart is still unable to suppress the endless anger.
The kingdom of Beamon is facing a situation of internal and external troubles, and the elves in the south, the barbarians in the far north, and the human race are all great threats.
But in such a situation, the big men of the kingdom are still entangled in the struggle for power and profit, and they do not try to unite as one to resist foreign insults, which really makes him chilled and discouraged.
You must know that Leon is not the real Beamon, but since he came to this world, he has gradually identified with the Beamon Beast Clan and is proud of it, and he is no different from ordinary Beasts in spirit.
If you want to change this situation, you can only make yourself stronger, and when you have supreme power in your hands, you can realize your ideals as you like!
An undetectable look flashed in the tiger's eyes, and Leon's mood became much calmer: "Priest Kod, please help me convey my gratitude to High Priest Faens!"
"It's good that you can understand, I've really wronged you this time!" Priest Kod smiled slightly, "But High Priest Faense also obtained an authorization for you." ”
"Considering that Thrall is located on the border of the Southwestern Province, in order to deal with the threat of the Southern Elves, the Kingdom Garrison has given you the power to expand the Territorial Guard, and you can form a warband. ”
A warband! This is definitely an unexpected surprise.
Whether it is the Beamon Kingdom or the Terran Country, the control of local forces is relatively strict, especially the number of guards and soldiers of the local lords has detailed regulations, and they cannot easily cross the thunder pool.
A warband can reach 10,000 warriors, which is equivalent to the size of the marquisate's territorial army, and it is absolutely incredible to rest on a single viscount.
While the Thrall Territory is threatened by elves on the frontier, and it is appropriate to appropriately expand the size of the territory's army, a warband is still a shocking battleband.
Of course, Leon also understands that although the name is there, with the current population and heritage of the Sal Commander, it is simply a fool's dream to establish a war band.
The high-level of the kingdom undoubtedly saw this, and the reward given to Leon for his record was not high, so he gave him a favor, and it was a favor anyway.
But for Leon himself, the name was extremely important, the population was not enough to find a way to increase it, and his long-term goal was to build an army strong enough to defend his territory.
Relying on the current thunder beast battle camp of only a thousand people, this goal is far from the same, and with this name, you can let go of your hands and feet.
"High Priest Faense has also asked me to convey to you a message that he hopes you will cherish this hard-won opportunity to establish a truly powerful territory and establish a solid barrier for the kingdom. Priest Kod whispered, "By that time, you will get what you deserve." ”
"The temple will always be your back!"
After the secret conversation, Priest Kod left White Rock City with the Templars.
Leon and the Thunder Beast Brigade in White Rock City are quickly counting down, and he still has a lot of work to accomplish before leaving.
Since half of the warriors of the Thunderbeast Brigade were additionally recruited, this group of people lost a lot in the battle, but those who survived were all elites.
Of course, Leon wanted to keep all of these warriors to replenish the new Thunderbeast Warband, but after all, these warriors were all from different territories.
Those who are willing to stay are treated like veterans, and they can also help them move their relatives to live in Salling.
If he is unwilling to join the Thunder Beast Warband, he will not be reluctant and will give him a generous severance pay.
What moved Leon was that most of the warriors chose to stay, and after the battle of life and death on the Arctic Ice Sheet, many warriors had a strong sense of identity and honor for the Thunder Beast Warband, and they were reluctant to share many life and death comrades.
These bear-born and leopard-born men are honest and loyal, and they have been tested by blood and fire, and they have become true warriors.
Of course, there were some troubles, but after Leon communicated with the Count of Octavia and spent some necessary money, the matter was resolved smoothly.
As for the rest of the chores, Leon left them to Rock Hammer and Rose to take care of, as he had more important things to do.
At dawn, the city lord's mansion of White Rock City, in the quiet room.
Leon, who was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, slowly opened his eyes, and the sudden glint in his eyes was like lightning in the darkness.
After five days of cultivation, the fourth-level power realm was finally stabilized.
The majestic aura flowed silently in his body, and through the acupuncture points of his whole body to maintain a subtle connection with heaven and earth, Leon could absorb the endless energy of heaven and earth from the outside world without condensation, refining and condensing it into the power of the source for his own use, and never exhausting.
Internal and external cultivation is undoubtedly much stronger than the simple body refining and soul refining before, and the most valuable thing is that after having the power to communicate with heaven and earth, his ability to perceive the outside world has been greatly enhanced.
If he can go one step further to the fifth level, he can directly use the elemental power between heaven and earth, so as to obtain an ability similar to that of a shaman, and release a spell aura!
It's just that from the fourth level to the fifth level, the beginner, advanced and top steps are one step at a time, and it is definitely not as simple as the second or third level to step up.
Leon's promotion from an ordinary brute warrior to a fourth-level warrior in less than two years is already an extremely remarkable miracle!
The side effects of using Berserk in that fierce battle disappeared in less than a day, and the strength boost from breaking through the bottleneck allowed Leon to try and learn new techniques.
In his hands, he held Gustav's inheritance soul core.
As long as he is promoted to the next level, Leon can unlock a seal in the inheritance soul core to obtain a new cultivation heart and battle memory.
And now, it's time to break the fourth seal.
Raising his hand, he pressed Gustav's Legacy Soul Core to the center of his brow, where his own soul core was located.
Feeling the cold stimulation of the soul core, Leon used his soul power to reveal the soul core, wrapping this inheritance soul core in it.
After reaching the fourth level, he needs to use another way to break the fourth seal of the inheritance soul core, and that is - Devour!
Syllable!
When Leon's soul power completely enveloped the inheritance soul core, this incomparably hard crystal core suddenly shattered and turned into powder.
Leon's head "buzzed" as if it was about to burst, and a surging and violent force instantly blasted into his soul core, stirring up fluctuations in the soul power of his whole body.
For such a situation, Leon had already prepared, he controlled the restless soul power in his body, protected his soul core, and never wavered no matter how this external force slammed into the soul core.
Sweat rolled down his forehead, and the bloodthirsty and furious aura contained in this power couldn't help but impact his soul, forming a great test of his sanity.
Leon knew very well that these breaths came from the powerful Dragon Soul Warrior, and it was also a test that he had to face in borrowing the Inheritance Soul Core, and if the Divine Soul was lost and controlled by it, he would become a mindless beast.
Because this time the soul core devouring was different from the previous three memory extractions, the test he faced was ten times more difficult than before!
Fortunately, Leon had the same experience, and when his soul was greatly impacted, he stuck to his mind and forced himself to enter the realm of forgetting both things and self.
The mountains of corpses and the sea of blood were boundless killing, and countless cruel images flashed in his mind, but they could not shake Leon's sanity in the slightest.
Gradually, these images faded away, and the power that poured into the soul core was swallowed up little by little by the soul core itself, turning into its own power.
When the last wisp of alien power was assimilated by soul power, Leon reopened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
He successfully fused Gustav's inheritance soul core and cracked the fourth seal, thus obtaining the fourth-level memory inheritance of this dragon soul warrior.
The new memory inheritance is several times more than the previous three levels combined!
Leon could no longer suppress the power of the stirring in his body, he got up and rushed out of the cultivation room, jumped off the high windowsill, and landed firmly on the ground.
The abundant soul power easily offset the impact of the falling, and Leon suddenly unfolded his body and rushed towards the city wall.
In a matter of moments, he leapt to the top of the wall, and then, under the horrified gaze of the patrolling soldiers, he swooped down like an eagle with outstretched wings into the wasteland outside the city.
"Leave me alone, I'll be back soon!"
At this moment, Leon was anxious to need an empty space to test the skills he had just mastered, and the small space in White Rock City obviously could not meet his requirements.
Under the vast sky, Leon's figure swept through the field, gradually blending into this world.
