Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 632: Wild Ambition 483

"Let's go, you're safe now,"

With the endorsement of the popular rising star General Bai E, several ordinary survivors, already deemed unproblematic, were easily let go.

After saying goodbye to Aglaya, Bai E took them to a deserted corner outside.

Unable to be in several places at once, he had a mission in mind for these players.

"My lord!"

Kuang Xin looked at Bai E with fervent admiration, as other players had recounted to him once again the General's impressive performance in the battle at the castle.

An all-out slaughter.

They had been growing, but since Bai E appeared before them, his achievements in battle became more and more exaggerated with each account, seemingly outstripping their growth by leaps and bounds.

It even led some to wonder who exactly was the player here.

"Mhm," Bai E responded indifferently, looking at the group of players staring at him, his eyes reflecting a hard-to-define turmoil.

All that he had seen in the city council had brought Bai E's frustration to a peak.

The dirty dealings could be openly discussed as if there were no line between people and objects in their eyes, as if everything in the world could be measured in terms of gain. Was there any point to the existence of such a city?

Having been exposed to the core of the city's upper echelons for the first time, Bai E felt waves of nausea from deep within.

Never before had his desire to control the city been so intense.

And then Caesar's proposal sparked a wild thought in Bai E's mind.

Caesar's suggestion that he should lead troops into the city, was it to quell the growing human disasters, or to initiate a grand revolution?

Who knows?

He could only hope that the so-called nobility's stirrings of unrest would be slow enough, slow until he was sufficiently prepared to, under the guise of quelling unrest, overtly send troops into the city.

Slow until he could first establish tight connections with the various power groups within the city so that they wouldn't instantly react and obstruct his movements at the start of the revolution.

To achieve this, first and foremost, he needed to gain control of an army that was entirely loyal to him and powerful enough.

Black Street? Being just ordinary folks, they were only good for passing on some information and conducting basic transactions, but not much else.

The town of Li Ming? As outcasts of Grey Iron City, it wasn't easy for them to enter the city, and it wasn't realistic to fully arm them and turn them into a reliable military force in a short period.

What remained... was the military barracks.

It was not good to recruit and he had no intention of recruiting natural born humans.

The main policy set by the barracks was to intensify the production of artificial humans for use as disposable cannon fodder in the next campaign against the insect nests; thus, artificial soldiers would definitely make up the main body within the barracks.

Artificial soldiers were, of course, loyal to humans, loyal to the city, but not necessarily loyal to the current city lord.

The Genetic Prohibition didn't have a mechanism to spell out loyalty to such a degree; the growth of artificial soldiers still required post-birth guidance.

Would it be to guide them to become selfless cannon fodder for the city, or would it be to let them fight for themselves, becoming the new wave that changes the city?

While Weslin was unconscious, the initiative was in Bai E's hands.

Not to mention, Bai E also held a certain capital to rewrite the prohibitions.

Inheriting the technology of his predecessors certainly didn't allow one to break their restraints, but Bai E could choose to add a personal worship alongside the loyal human subject.

The current city lord hadn't done so because he didn't have the time to frequently show his face in the barracks.

He was unable to trigger and reinforce that impression of worship, but Bai E... could.

Of course, the tasks left for the players were certainly not limited to that, but rather... training.

Let Dai Lian train their archery skills.

Let Kuang Xin train their physical skills.

Let Gu Lan train their affinity with Spiritual Energy.

Let Gong Yan train their special skills in bandaging and medical care.

The natives weren't fools; they had their own learning systems.

Having both learning and teaching interaction templates, maybe the players had them too.

It just lacked an incentive to trigger it, Bai E thought he might try, so he began crafting tasks.

"There are some things I plan to have you do."

[Auto-generating commission description...]

[Would you like to issue this commission?]

Bai E scrutinized it carefully, saw no apparent issues, and agreed to issue it.

[Confirmed for issue!]

At the moment the quest prompt sounded, every player was invigorated.

Dawn!

That was the name of their organization.

The monarchy of their organization, namely their own lord, was finally ready to initiate a tumultuous campaign?

Accept accept accept!

Wen Jie, also brought along, looked utterly perplexed. Do I get a part in this too?

With a smile on his face, Bai E looked at the group of players before him, "The only people I can trust are you. I will specify the targets that need teaching in due time. Whether our cause can ultimately succeed will depend on you!"

"We will not fail the trust you've placed in us!" Several players were ablaze with enthusiasm, filled with excitement.

Being part of the force driving major events in the game, they all felt an unparalleled thrill.

And the words in the quest were clear—monarch.

Who could be called a monarch?

Did it mean that after this battle, they could become revered elders of a newly founded nation?

Geez!

Our lord is awesome!
