"Dan, this is my last warning, once you are bound to me, you will become my vassal for the rest of your life, my will is the direction you are heading, and there is no turning back.

You...... Have you figured it out?"

Dan felt a little embarrassed for a moment when he heard Kyle say this, but after he looked at Jonathan, he said:

"Jonathan, I didn't expect that there would be such a big gap between us after not seeing each other for such a short time?"

Jonathan said nonchalantly, "Dan, you should know, I am firmly on the side of Lord Kyle, and whatever Master Kyle chooses, I will be his sword.

Not to mention......"

Jonathan raised his hand, and in an instant, the red light that rose into the sky swung fiercely forward.

The scarlet mana wrapped around the swollen Slim sword like a heavenly moat that smashed down.

Suddenly, they seemed to feel the ground shaking, and when they came back to their senses, a huge ravine had appeared on the ground in front of them, spreading forty or fifty meters.

Jonathan gasped heavily, and the attack he had just sent out had cleared his mana almost immediately.

Even the physical strength has declined significantly.

But the destructive power is clearly staggering.

This terrifying power made Dan and the other rangers standing on the side silent.

He guessed that Jonathan had become very strong now, much stronger than him, but he never expected that the gap between the two sides would be so huge in such a short period of time.

"Is this the Transcendental Order?"

"No, it's a symbiotic outfit, it's Kyle-sama's power!

Do you feel it? This is the power of His Highness, and if you don't have a strong enough conviction, how can you be qualified to receive it?"

The ten Rangers next to Jonathan roared excitedly.

It was also the first time they had felt this kind of strength in an actual battle, which they had never imagined in the past.

When Kyle first approached the Rangers, who had a strong faith, he said that they needed to use their bodies for an experiment, that there would be no danger, and that he would protect them all the time, and they agreed without hesitation.

According to the lord, they are now performing a mysterious ritual from the Lionheart, through baptism, binding their future life to the lord, Kyle will gain the power to dominate their lives, and they will receive the violence that precursor to the lord.

In good conscience, they didn't believe it at first.

Although they knew that the lord had succeeded in becoming the successor of the next Grand Duke, they instinctively felt that even if they became the heir, it would not make much difference.

After all, everyone can see how miserable the Lancaster Territory was before, and this huge territory relies on these few hundreds of people to maintain the safety of the entire territory, and even most of them do not have suitable armor.

Of course, they didn't complain about anything, the Rangers themselves relied on the support of the Lord's Mansion to get to where they are today and become a professional who is supported and recognized by everyone. ….

They are willing to fight for their lords, but to say what the lord says, and they believe it unconditionally, it is a bit of a stretch.

But......

Now they felt the magic power in their bodies suddenly become more pure and rich, and it was clear that many of them had already broken through their own limits after just one fight.

They could even feel their own bodies, gradually adapting to the erosion of mana, sprinting towards higher peaks in the midst of wear and tear and repair.

The joy of being able to clearly feel that they are getting stronger can be called the sweetest fruit, and they are completely immersed in it, and it is difficult for them to let go.

They couldn't help but think of the announcement that Kyle had told them earlier:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I told you before

Know, once you choose this path, there is no turning back.

From this day forward, I will be your eternal lord, and you will be my eternal guard, and I will share my power and glory with you, and lead you to the abyss!

And you will give your life and your loyalty, and sweep away all the obstacles that seek to stand in my way until our iron hoofs trample down all hostile creatures."

Looking back, they only felt that there was a sense of horror and longing that shook their brains in the words they had said before.

Their lord did just as he said he would, and he did what he said.

A group of rangers were dullly waving the spears in their hands, feeling the strengthening of their bodies, and the dull call of the spears gave people a sense of panic.

The other rangers knew this scene even better, and the other batches of rangers actually knew each other very well.

There is no obvious difference in the strength progress of most of them, and it can be said that the growth rate is traceable.

But now, looking at these colleagues in symbiotic clothing, some of whom they had only met last month, it can be seen that their behavior is completely different from before.

"I am your knight, and I should be loyal to you, it doesn't matter if I step into the abyss or not."

Dan began to reflect deeply on his previous actions.

Loyalty is not absolute, that is, absolutely disloyal, the previous superfluous thoughts, now all of them were killed by him, kneeling on one knee, looking at Kyle feverishly, and raising the long sword in his hand in front of him.

There was a wolf howl and birdsong in the distance, and Kyle smiled at the corners of his mouth, took the sword in his hand, and put one end of it against his shoulder, saying:

"Dan, take off your armor, Jonathan, and pull the cart over."

Jonathan lifted the gray cloth from the cart, revealing the iron prison inside, and small Slimes lay quietly in it.

Kyle snapped his fingers, and his silver-white gloves suddenly turned into a sharp blade, splitting the iron prison in two.

The gluttonous Slime inside slowly crawled towards him, prostrate at his feet.

Or, more accurately, the Gluttonous Slime who surrenders to Kyle's body.

There was a squirm behind Kyle, and the condensed silver-white metal ball slowly outlined the appearance of a petite girl, and she put her hands around Kyle's neck, letting out a silver bell-like laugh.

Everyone looked at this Slime Niang, who had such a similar resemblance to Kyle, with some curiosity. ….

"Just call her Esther."

This is the name that Kyle gave to this monster, and when the little Slime Niang heard Kyle's call, her expression changed slightly.

The Gluttonous Slimes below are also calling out Esther's name.

It was the honorific name of Queen Slime, who had given them a new lease of life.

Normally, the way Slime reproduces is through the direct creation of new cores, which are asexual reproduction.

Most of the time, there is no such thing as a group among the Slimes.

Each of them is an individual

However, in order to be able to build a powerful nest, those with stronger strength can transform a part of the core into their own ingredients by injecting their own breath into the core of their subordinates.

In this way, the affected Gluttony Slime will be directly controlled by the higher-ranking Gluttony Slime.

It can even be said that it is equivalent to the gluttonous Slime who is in the upper position and splits into a sub-individual.

He didn't feel this in the Shadow Wolf.

The Shadow Wolves are more like a group of independent individuals, and even if they are controlled through the perspective of the power of the totem, they need to be influenced from point to point.

But Esther is different.

When Kyle connects directly to Esther, he can feel that Esther's vision is also connected to more lower slimes.

That's probably why these slimes are able to learn from experience to a certain extent.

Since Esther is regarded as a part of her whole in the judgment of the system panel, a part of the power of the system will spread to her.

The most typical thing is that she can also gain experience points to grow.

And perhaps because of the nature of the Slime race, this situation was further spread to her subordinate Slime.

Kyle looked around at the crowd and saw that they all had heartwarming expressions in their eyes, and said with a smile:

"There is a price to pay for gaining power, I'm not kidding, the secret method of the Lionheart family gives me the power to dominate your life, if in such a situation, you still want to fight side by side with me-

Then come and accept the power I have given you!"

Rangers don't grow as fast as players? I'm TM straight open!

Esther can level up by gaining experience, just as the Slime cubs under her control can also gain experience to level up.

And the rangers who live in symbiosis with the Gluttonous Slime, although they can't fully enjoy the power of upgrades, they can still indirectly get some of the upgraded bonuses by sharing the growth of the Gluttonous Slime.

The biggest problem, probably because their future lives will be dominated by Kyle, and Slime doesn't play the "my vassal's vassals are not my vassals".

Able to directly control Esther, he has the power to dominate these symbiotic rangers.

But then again, is this a problem for the Rangers, but for Kyle?

No, quite the opposite, it's Kyle's way of consolidating the voice of his cronies.

"Then apart from Dan, the others who want to accept this power will come out." ….

Soon, the surrounding rangers came out one after another.

Kyle pointed to a dozen of them, all of whom were the fastest to make the list.

"Then it's up to you to get the power from my Heloin family."

A moment ago, those gluttonous slimes who were quiet on the ground and looked like pets suddenly burst into trouble.

They jumped onto the arms of the rangers, and the knights let out a muffled grunt in the smoke of gunpowder.

When some of their body tissue is absorbed by the Gluttonous Slime, Kyle activates the power of the totem again.

Under the influence of the power of the totem, the bodies of this group of slimes were thus engraved with the imprint of their bloodline.

A subtle sensation crept through the Rangers, and suddenly they seemed to feel that they could detect the emotions of the little Slimes.

It was as if there was a heart-to-heart connection between the two sides, and this subtle feeling reached the extreme the moment the Slims pounced on their upper bodies.

A part of Slim's body hardened directly into a nail stomach, and they tapped the nail stomach on it with a subtle expression, as if they could feel the touch of the mold lake.

They knocked a little harder, but they didn't feel any pain on it, as if they were born with such a stomach.

Dan, who had completed his adaptation ahead of schedule, slowly got up, feeling the mana in his body flowing out into the armor stomach in front of him.

He walked straight up to the horse, took out a large amount of dry food, prepared to swallow it and began to drain the mana.

But his actions were stopped by Jonathan.

"Dan, you have to use your new powers."

Jonathan brought the corpse of a gnoll that was much larger than a normal gnoll and threw it beside him, saying:

"Control the Slims to eat, or let the Slimes prey on their own, and some of the power they accumulate will be directly converted into mana, which is much faster than if you slowly ate dry food and then converted it into mana."

Dan nodded, and the slime on his body suddenly swelled, like a large mouth open in the void, directly devouring the corpse.

Soon he felt the satisfaction of the armor stomach on his body, and a lot of mana was poured into his body, filling the emptiness in his body, and this satisfying sense of power made him can't help it

Some want to roar filial piety.

He was already on the verge of stepping on the door, and suddenly felt the possibility of prying open the extraordinary door.

As a knight, his control of his body is actually much more accurate than others.

When he felt the increase in the external force, he immediately captured that feeling, and turned this feeling into a bridge through the barrier, and in the cheers of the slim on his body, his physical fitness suddenly improved.

More surging mana gushed out.

Is that...... Without any false power!

Kyle patted him on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, Dan, we'll have another chance to fight side by side in the future."

Knight Dan grinned and said, "Fight for you, my Highness!"

With Dan's personal demonstration, the other Rangers who didn't get the symbiotic outfit in the first place just felt unbelievable! ….

But then there was a strong eagerness in his eyes, as well as ......

Intense regret!

Why? Why did you hesitate so much just now?

It's heart-wrenching to let them miss out on the opportunity in front of them.

Finally, someone couldn't help but say, "My lord, how do we need to become one of them?"

"Oh?"

Kyle lengthened his voice slightly, and everyone's expressions became slightly nervous, for fear of saying the words "no chance" from his mouth.

"Since you all want to gain this power, go kill more Gluttonous Slimes and bring back more Gluttonous Slime cubs who haven't been controlled yet!

Of course, you can't stop your daily work, maybe you can try and cooperate with the undead, I think they will also be happy to have a companion who can give them great combat support."

"Yes!"

The bright expressions on everyone's faces were indescribable.

It's just something they may not know, there is still a gap between them who have officially changed to colonized knights and the colonized knights who may be copied by other forces in the future.

With the power of totems and the blessing of combat upgrades, they stood in other classes at the beginning.

This is the real gift Kyle has in store for them, the so-called-

Share "strength" and "glory".

……

Over the next few days, Dan began their first large-scale purge of aliens in their territory.

While Lancaster is legally under Kyle's jurisdiction, they are not the first to occupy the land.

In fact, due to the number of people in Lancaster who can now be trusted, there are large areas that are left unattended.

Even deep in the forests there are areas carved out by Lancaster's forefathers.

This place often has some relatively rudimentary buildings, and even if they leave because the people of their predecessors were unable to cultivate the surrounding land, and those buildings are deserted, they will still become a gathering place for many wandering creatures.

The Ranger actually has records of these places, which were abandoned for various reasons, occupied by some barbarians, fleeing humans and even chaotic beasts, which can be said to be a relatively dangerous place.

But now, the Rangers have a harvest time.

Kyle didn't even have the desire to act this time, but just watched them from afar, and took out a table and many small white porcelain cups from the space equipment.

He pulled out a bottle of Titan spirits, and a flash of fire flashed in his hand, and the bottle was entwined with a surging mist.

As he began to pour the hot wine into his glass, the early spring chill filled the glass.

He pointed to a small camp made of stone huts and said, "The wine is getting cold!"

The rangers, who couldn't hold it back, swarmed up, this was the territory occupied by a group of lizardmen, but unfortunately they could only say that they were working together, without the slightest military literacy.

In Kyle's view,

If even such a guy needs to do it himself, it will be too low.

As he judged, the Ranger didn't even ride a horse on the land, and "sneaked" straight over.

The lizardmen, who were the first to run out to fight them, were swept away in an instant, and they were even less threatening to the Rangers when they scattered haphazardly, and almost as soon as the glasses were just a little hot, they finished clearing the battlefield and returned to Kyle to pick up the glasses and drink them dry.

Some of them liked this little trick played by the lord.

In this kind of chatter and laughter, the feeling of alien disappearance is very high, and even another Ranger has completed the upgrade of his class level in the feedback upgrade of the battle.

Kyle walked past them to the stone huts, took one look, and said:

"It's stronger than I thought, who built this place at the time."

Everyone looked at each other with a little embarrassment.

Dan on the side: "If my lord remembers correctly, this should be a gathering place developed by some members of the Snow Wolf Clan in the past."
