"Dan, this is my last warning. Once you are bound to me, you will become my vassal for life. My will is the direction you move forward. There is no way back.
Have you... thought about it?"
When Dan heard Kyle say this, he felt a little shy for a moment, but after looking at Jonathan, he said:
"Jonathan, you didn't expect that there would be such a big gap between us after not seeing each other for such a short period of time?"
Jonathan said calmly: "Dan, you should know that I stand firmly on Lord Kyle's side. No matter what Lord Kyle chooses, I will be his sharp sword.
not to mention……"
Jonathan raised his hand, and in an instant, the red light soared into the sky and waved fiercely forward.
The scarlet curse wrapped around the expanding slime sword, crashing down like a chasm from the sky.
In a daze, they seemed to feel the ground shaking. When they came to their senses, a huge ravine stretching forty to fifty meters had appeared on the ground in front of them.
Jonathan took a heavy breath. Just the attack he made just now almost emptied his spell power immediately.
Even his physical strength showed an extremely obvious decline.
But the destructive power is obviously amazing.
This terrifying power made Dan and the other rangers standing aside speechless.
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 widen to such a huge extent in such a short period of time.
"Is this the extraordinary level?"
"No, this is a symbiotic costume, the power of Lord Kyle!
Do you feel it? This is the power of His Highness. If you don’t have a firm enough belief, how can you be qualified to accept such power? "
The ten rangers next to Jonathan roared excitedly.
It was also the first time that they felt this kind of power that they could not imagine in the past in an actual battle.
At first, when Kyle found these steadfast Rangers, he told them that they needed to use their bodies to conduct an experiment. There would be no danger and he would protect everyone throughout the process. They agreed without hesitation.
According to what the lord said, they are currently performing a mysterious ritual from the Lionheart family. Through baptism, they will bind their future lives to the lord. Kyle will gain the power to control their lives, and they will gain the violence to be the precursors of the lord.
.
Honestly speaking, they didn't really believe this at first.
Although they knew that the lord had successfully become the successor of the next Grand Duke, they instinctively felt that even if they became the successor, there wouldn't be much difference.
After all, everyone can see how miserable the Lancaster Territory was before. This huge territory relied on just a few hundred people to maintain the security of the entire territory, and even most of them did not have suitable armor.
Of course, they didn't complain. The Rangers themselves relied on the support of the Lord's Mansion to get to where they are today and become professionals who are supported and recognized by everyone.
They are willing to fight for their lord, but if they unconditionally believe what the lord says, that would be a bit nonsense.
But……
Now they feel that the magic power in their bodies suddenly becomes purer and more intense. Obviously, after just a fight, many of them have already exceeded their upper limit.
They can even feel that their bodies are gradually adapting to the erosion of the spell, and are sprinting towards a higher peak amid wear and tear.
The joy of being able to clearly feel that they are getting stronger is the sweetest fruit, making them completely immersed in it and making it difficult to let go.
They couldn't help but think of the announcement Kyle made to them before:
"Everyone, I have told you before that once you choose this path, there will be no turning back.
From today on, I will be your eternal lord, and you will be my eternal bodyguard. I will share my power and glory with you, and lead you into the abyss!
And you will dedicate your lives and loyalty to clear all obstacles that try to stop me, until our iron hoofs trample all hostile creatures."
Looking back, they only felt that those words before had a sense of fear and longing that shocked their brains.
Their lord truly lived up to his word and lived up to his promise.
A group of rangers were waving the spears in their hands dullly, feeling the strengthening of their bodies. The dull shouts of the spears gave people a feeling of panic.
The other rangers saw this scene and knew it well. The other batches of rangers actually knew each other very well.
There is no obvious difference in the strength and progress of most of them. It can be said that there are traces of growth speed.
But now, looking at these colleagues wearing symbiotic attire, some of them had just met last month, but their behavior was completely different from before.
"I am your knight, and I should be loyal to you, no matter whether I step into the abyss or not."
Dan began to deeply reflect on his previous actions.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. All the unnecessary thoughts before were now eliminated by him. He knelt down on one knee, looked at Kyle feverishly, and raised the long sword in his hand in front of him.
There was a howling of wolves and chirping of birds in the distance. Kyle smiled, took the long sword from his hand, put one end on his shoulder, and said:
"Dan, take off your armor, Jonathan, pull the cart over."
Jonathan lifted the gray cloth on the cart, revealing the iron prison inside, with tiny slimes lying 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 and crawled at his feet.
Or to be more precise, he surrendered to the gluttonous slime attached to Kyle's body.
I saw a squirming movement behind Kyle, and the condensed silver-white metal group slowly outlined the appearance of a petite girl. She put her hands around Kyle's neck and let out a laugh like a silver bell.
Everyone looked at this slime girl who looked somewhat similar to Kyle with some curiosity.
"Just call her Esther."
This is the name Kyle gave to this monster. When the little slime girl heard Kyle's call, her seemingly unwavering expression changed slightly.
The gluttonous slimes below were also calling Esther's name loudly.
That is the honorable name of the Gluttonous Slime Queen who gave them new life.
Normally, slimes reproduce asexually by directly creating new cores.
Most of the time, there is no so-called clan among slimes.
Each of them is an independent entity
However, in order for the gluttonous slimes to build a powerful lair, those slimes with stronger power can inject their own breath into the core of their subordinates, converting part of the core into their own components.
The gluttonous slime affected in this way will be directly controlled by the upper gluttony slime.
It can even be said that it is equivalent to the superior gluttony slime splitting into a sub-individual.
He didn't feel this kind of situation with Shadow Wolf.
The Shadow Wolves are more like a group of independent individuals. Even if they are controlled through the perspective of totem power, point-to-point influence is required.
But Esther is different.
When Kyle directly connected to Esther, he could feel that Esther's vision was also connected to more lower-level slimes.
This is probably why these slimes can also learn experience to a certain extent.
Since Esther is considered an integral part of herself in the judgment of the system panel, part of the system's power will spread to her.
The most typical thing is that she can also gain experience points and grow.
And perhaps because of the characteristics of the slime race, this situation has further spread to her subordinate slimes.
Kyle looked around at everyone and saw excited expressions in their eyes, and said with a smile:
"There is a price to pay for gaining power. I am not joking. The secret method of the Lionheart family allows me to gain the power to control your lives. If under such circumstances, you still want to fight side by side with me——
Then come and accept the power I give you!"
The Rangers don’t grow as fast as the players? I’ll just cheat!
Esther can gain experience and level up, which is equivalent to the fact that the lower-level slime cubs under her control can also gain experience and level up.
Although the Rangers who coexist with gluttonous slimes cannot fully enjoy the power of upgrades, they can still indirectly obtain part of the upgrade bonuses by sharing the growth of gluttonous slimes.
The biggest problem is probably that their future lives will be controlled by Kyle. Slime does not play the trick of "the vassals I vassal are not my vassals".
Being able to directly control Esther, he has full power over these symbiotic Rangers.
But then again, this is a problem for the Rangers, but is it a problem for Kyle?
No, on the contrary, this is a way for Kyle to consolidate the voice of his cronies.
"Then besides Dan, everyone else who wants to receive this power will come forward."
Soon, the surrounding rangers came out one after another.
Kyle pointed out a dozen of them. They were all the fastest people who had just come out.
"Then it's up to you to get the power from my Heloise family first."
A moment ago, those gluttonous slimes that were peacefully on the ground and looked like pets suddenly became violent.
They suddenly jumped onto the arms of the rangers, and in the smoke, the knights made muffled sounds.
When some of their body tissues were absorbed by gluttonous slimes, Kyle activated the power of the totem again.
Under the influence of the power of the totem, the bodies of these slimes were engraved with the mark of their bloodline.
A subtle feeling spread over the rangers, and in a daze they seemed to feel that they could detect the emotions of the little slimes.
It was as if there was a spiritual connection between the two parties, and this subtle feeling reached its climax the moment the slimes pounced on them.
Part of the slime's body hardened directly into armor, and they tapped the armor with a subtle expression, as if they could feel a vague touch.
They knocked a little harder, but didn't feel any pain on it, as if they were born with such armor.
Dan, who had completed the adaptation in advance, slowly stood up and felt the magic power in his body flowing out into the armor in front of him.
He walked directly to the horse, took out a large amount of dry food, prepared to swallow it and began to absorb the magic power.
But his behavior was stopped by Jonathan.
"Dan, you have to make use of your new power."
Jonathan brought over the body of a jackal that was much larger than a normal jackal, threw it next to him and said:
"Control the slimes to eat, or let the slimes hunt on their own, and part of their accumulated strength will be directly converted into magic power. This is much faster than slowly eating dry food and then converting it into magic power.
."
Dan nodded, and the slime on his body suddenly expanded, like a big mouth opening in the void, swallowing the corpse directly.
Soon he felt the sense of satisfaction reflected back from the armor on his body. A large amount of magic power was poured into his body, filling the emptiness in his body. This sense of satisfying power made him want to roar.
He was on the verge of closing the door and suddenly felt the possibility of prying open the extraordinary door.
As a knight, his control over his body is actually much more precise than others.
When he felt the increase in external force, he immediately captured that feeling and turned it into a bridge that penetrated the barrier. As the slime on his body screamed for joy, his physical fitness suddenly improved.
A cut.
More surging spell power spurted out.
That is...power without any falsehood!
Kyle patted him on the shoulder and said: "Congratulations, Dan, we will have the opportunity to fight side by side again in the future."
Knight Dan grinned and said: "Fight for you, my highness!"
With Dan's personal demonstration, other Rangers who were not able to get the symbiotic outfits at the first time just felt unbelievable!
But then a strong eagerness to try flashed in his eyes, and...
Strong regret!
Why? Why did you hesitate so much just now?
It was so heartbreaking to let them miss the opportunity that was right in front of them.
Finally someone couldn't help but said: "Lord, what method do we need to use to become one of them?"
"oh?"
Kyle lengthened his voice slightly, and everyone's expressions became slightly nervous, fearing that the words "no chance" would come out of his mouth.
"Since you all want to gain this power, go kill more gluttonous slimes and bring back more gluttonous slime cubs that have not yet been controlled!
Of course, you still can't stop your daily work. Maybe you can give it a try and cooperate with those undead people. I think they would also be happy to have a companion who can give them great combat support."
"yes!"
The bright expressions on everyone's faces are indescribable.
But what they may not know is that there is still a huge gap between them who have officially transferred to the colonial knights and the colonial knights who may be reproduced by other forces in the future.
With the power of totem and the blessing of combat upgrades, they stood at the top of other professions from the beginning.
This is the real gift Kyle prepared for them, the so-called——
Share "power" and "glory".
…
In the next few days, Dan began their first large-scale purge of foreign races in the territory.
Although the Lancastrians were legally under the control of Cael, they were not the first to occupy the land.
In fact, due to the current number of people who can be trusted in Lancaster, a large area is unguarded.
There are even some areas developed by Lancastrian ancestors hidden deep in many forests.
This place often has some relatively simple buildings. Even if the predecessors were unable to cultivate the surrounding land and they left, and those buildings were abandoned, they would still become a gathering place for many wandering creatures.
The Rangers actually have records of these places. Due to various reasons, this place was abandoned before and was occupied by some barbarians, fleeing humans and even random wild beasts. It can be said that it is a relatively dangerous place.
But now, it's time for the Rangers to reap the rewards.
Kyle didn't even have the desire to act this time. He just watched them from a distance and took out a table and many white porcelain cups from the space equipment.
He took out a bottle of Titan Town's crafted spirits, a flash of fire flashed across his hand, and a light mist enveloped the bottle.
When he began to pour the hot wine into the cup, the chill of early spring filled the cup with steam.
He pointed to a small camp consisting of stone houses and said, "The wine is about to get cold!"
The rangers, who could no longer restrain themselves, swarmed forward. This was the territory occupied by a group of lizardmen. Unfortunately, they could only be said to be traveling in groups and had no military qualities at all.
In Kyle's opinion, it would be a shame if even such a guy had to do it himself.
Just as he judged, the rangers didn't even ride horses on this land, and just "sneaked" over it openly.
The lizardmen who were the first to run out to fight them were swept away in an instant. They scattered randomly and became even less threatening to the rangers. Almost as soon as the wine glass had just lost some of its scalding heat.
, they finished cleaning the battlefield, returned to Kyle, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Some of them fell in love with this little trick played by the lord.
This feeling of the alien race being wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing was so overwhelming that one of the rangers even completed an upgrade in his career level through the feedback upgrade from the battle.
Kyle passed them and came to the stone huts, took a look and said:
"It's more solid than I thought. Who built this place at that time?"
Everyone looked at each other with awkward expressions.
Dan on the side said in a low voice: "If the Lord remembers correctly, this should be a gathering place developed by some members of the Snow Wolf Clan in the past."
