There was a sudden system notification tone.
Maxwell's mind lightly trembled as he waited silently.
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for levelling up the War Leader System. You are currently at level 4!"
"Huh?"
"Levelled up?"
Maxwell was almost dumbstruck. Suddenly, levelling up was just too out of his expectations. Since he was currently at level 4, that meant he only had one more level to go to summon the Heavenly Sword and use it once.
At that time…
This was an item that could do wonders for someone big time!
Maxwell grinned ferociously as his blood started boiling.
"What's going on, boss? Is it another expert hiding in the void mocking you?" Constantine couldn't help asking when he saw Maxwell's ferocious smile.
Maxwell waved his hand and said, "They're just a bunch of dumb idiots, so there's no need to bother with them. When I have the chance, I will definitely visit them one by one to have tea with each of them. By that time, I will definitely have them pay back today's insults and ridicule."
"This is our last night."
"You guys go back and rest up." Maxwell looked at everyone's exhausted countenance and felt a bit of heartache. Especially so for Brenda and her sleepy face. She was trying to keep her eyes open forcefully and looked like she could fall asleep any second.
Lilith then asked: "What about you?"
Maxwell looked at the spiritual herbs in the square that were stacked high like a mountain and replied, "I need to make some preparations for tomorrow's big battle. There's no need for you guys to stay behind because you won't be able to help me. Just go back to rest and restore your mental energy. Tomorrow, we will kill to our heart's content."
"Adam, Constantine, Godfrey, Blindman Dale, you four stay behind for a bit while the others go back to rest."
Maxwell had to make some preparations.
The Immortal Execution Array couldn't block the devil fiend army, as Devil Monarch Skysoul's strength was too great. Once that guy becomes enraged, there's definitely no way anyone can block him. Maxwell can only drag things along and hope to turn things around.
Arianna and the others didn't demand to stay behind and just silently left the place.
Even though these girls were unwilling, they didn't want to give Maxwell any more trouble than he already had.
To Maxwell, the task now was for the men, while the women could stand by and watch.
Only five people remained in the main square.
Maxwell brought out all the attributed beast cores he had left on him. He also brought out over ten thousand upgraded weapons he had previously forged in the national treasury and piled them in front of him. He then said, "Arrange these according to my instructions and don't make a single mistake."
"The protective array for the city will definitely be unable to block Devil Monarch Skysoul, so it's only a matter of time before the city is broken through. Therefore, the big battle we're facing will take place within the Capital City. I plan to turn the Capital City into a place where over ten thousand small slaughtering arrays will be stationed at various locations."
Adam's brows quivered as he excitedly asked: "Making the City house over ten thousand small slaughtering arrays… how on earth did you come up with that? This is wild! What kind of name are you going to call this battle tactic?"
Maxwell was in thought for a while before saying with a smile, "Landmine Warfare!"
"Landmine Warfare?"
"What the hell is a landmine?"
"Dragon head, how come all the stuff you come up with is so weird yet so effective?"
They all asked with curiosity.
Maxwell didn't explain and just urged, "We don't have much time left, quickly go prepare. You've all seen the patterns clearly, so don't make any mistakes in arranging them. If you set the thing up wrong, the array won't be able to release any of its powers."
"Don't worry!"
"We'll be off now."
Maxwell looked up into the night sky and started smiling in excitement.
The entire city will be filled with the Hell Lotus Arrays. Once someone enters, it triggers nine illusory lotuses. The array's killing power isn't very strong, but it can at least delay the devil fiend army. Apart from the Hell Lotus Array, there are also countless miniature Dragon Execution Arrays.
As long as someone enters the array, it will be similar to stepping on a landmine. Even if the explosion doesn't kill you, it can still at least make you disabled!
Maxwell's ideas had always been on the crazy side.
How can it not be wild when he's even using landmines as a tactic?
When Maxwell looked at the spiritual herbs piled high like a mountain, his gaze sank while saying to himself, "Medicinal pills are similar to the support of mana and health potions. I can take care of myself, but those martial artists can't do without the pills. There will definitely be a lot of casualties tomorrow so I need a lot of medicinal pills…"
"I should first try to concoct as many Profound Burst Pills as possible!"
After summoning the Green Dragon Cauldron, Maxwell's hands were moving at exceptional speeds. He tossed several spiritual herbs with the properties he wanted into the cauldron, circulated his mana, and activated the alchemy technique. The medicinal fragrance started spreading as rich mana gushed out.
"Crackle!"
"The Profound Burst Pill was successfully concocted!"
"Crackle!"
"The Profound Burst Pill was successfully concocted!"
"Crackle!"
Maxwell didn't stop for a single moment.
No matter whether it was concocting medicinal pills, forging, or engraving arrays, they all required a lot of mental energy. Most Alchemists and Forging Masters would create only a few items each day and wouldn't over-refine any of them. The reason is that crafting truly drains one's energy.
But for the current Maxwell…
He was similar to an assembly line of machines that didn't stop moving. He had raised his speed to the maximum and had practically gone crazy with his refinement!
He had no time to rest, not even a second. The people in the Capital City were looking at him. Those experts in the void were looking at him. Maxwell didn't want to disappoint the people of the Capital City. He didn't want Arthur to have died without meaning, and he definitely didn't want the Evans Kingdom to be annihilated. The last main point – Maxwell really wanted to slap the faces of those experts in the void fiercely. It would be best if he could slap them to the point that they couldn't even breathe normally!
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for levelling your Alchemy technique. You are currently at level 7!"
"How fierce am I for my alchemy technique to have reached level 7?!"
Maxwell faintly chuckled to himself before delving back into concocting more medicinal pills.
He was going all out!
The large mountain of spiritual herbs gradually diminished, becoming a large pile of medicinal pills behind Maxwell. All the medicinal pills had reached an exquisite level of quality. At the minimum, the medicinal potency of the herbs had been fully drawn out.
Several hours later.
Maxwell had a sleepy-looking face, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were the size of soybeans. They slowly rolled off his face, and his clothes were already completely soaked. Looking at the still quite a lot of spiritual herbs left, Maxwell clenched his teeth and said: "Another one!"
Constantly training!
Levelling up like crazy!
When Maxwell went crazy, he looked like a madman at the peak of insanity.
The burden he was carrying was too heavy.
For tomorrow's big battle, he practically had to throw his life on the line.
In the depths of the royal palace.
The older man, Aaron, looked as if he were weeping bitterly as he observed Maxwell. It has been many years since he shed even a single tear. Even when his father and his sons died, he didn't shed any tears. But currently, he couldn't hold back anymore as a tear swelled in his eyes.
Maxwell moved him.
"Child, it's been hard on you."
Suddenly…
That sound transmission entered into Maxwell's mind.
Maxwell smiled and replied: "Old Senior, this is something I should be doing."
He owed the Evans Kingdom.
Even though this country didn't take a significant place in his heart, he owed the Evans family a lot.
Therefore…
He will even use his life to pay them back!
Aaron softly said, "Stop for now. I'm going to pass the control of the Evans Kingdom's dragon vein royal qi over to you."
