Lin Chen's situation stood in stark contrast to the others.
Most City Lords cowered inside their cities,
using their soldiers only to resist invading monsters.
But Lin Chen took an extremely bold strategy-
having his Demonic Dragon Knights actively attack!
Holy Knight, Sky Knight, and Earth Knight successfully advanced!
Just these three killed more than three-quarters of the monsters.
Such a huge number of monsters supported their advancement.
The remaining monsters were handled by the other ten Demonic Dragon Knights!
Though the ten improved in strength, none advanced yet.
Still, Lin Chen was quite satisfied with the current situation.
Countless monster corpses lay around the thirteen Demonic Dragon Knights!
[Energy Protection Shield restored to normal!]
[This disorder event ends; compensation rewards will be issued based on City Lords' performance!]
With the first dawn came the system's calm voice.
Countless City Lords slowly lifted their heads, eyes full of confusion.
Finally… was it over?
Many had no thought of the rewards;
they just wanted to survive the night, not be eaten!
But for many City Lords,
the compensation reward was a pleasant surprise.
Successfully resisting the monster invasion greatly boosted their morale.
They were confident and eagerly awaited their shining moment on the Myriad Clans Continent.
The monster kills brought them considerable gains,
allowing their strength to grow further!
Upon hearing the system prompt, people brightened.
What?
There was compensation!
That meant instant takeoff.
Given last night's performance, their rewards would not be poor.
Lin Chen was momentarily stunned.
He thought the shield disorder was just bad luck.
He never expected compensation.
A bit comforting.
He glanced at the monster corpses outside the shield.
His performance last night wasn't bad!
[Ding!]
[Your compensation reward has been sent! Please check!]
As he awaited, the prompt sounded promptly.
Lin Chen smiled; the reward arrived quickly!
A red exclamation mark popped up in the lower right of his vision.
He clicked it.
A virtual Treasure Chest appeared and opened.
Creak!
Accompanied by crisp sounds, items flickered out.
[Congratulations!]
[You received:]
[Free Building Card (Basic)*1!]
Details: Can build any basic building for free (except Troop Building or special buildings).
[Troop Advancement Card (Basic) 3!]
Details: Basic advancement cards, can promote soldiers below Level 3 by 1 Tier!
[Free Troop Recruitment Chance5!]
Details: Grants one free troop recruitment right when used (valid for all troops).
[City Lord Advancement Card (Basic)*1!]
Details: When used, increases lord's Level by 1!
Several brightly colored cards flashed before Lin Chen.
He nodded with satisfaction.
The compensation was quite generous.
At least it was more sincere than some big companies!
Three hundred Gold Coins, server-wide amnesia?
Lin Chen focused on the compensation.
The Free Building Card could build basic buildings.
Its effect was minor, just saving a few dozen Gold Coins at most.
But the Troop Advancement Card's details made Lin Chen nearly spit blood!
It only worked on soldiers below Level 3!
But his Demonic Dragon Knights started at Level 3!
The advancement cards were, to him, almost useless.
"Having troops start at such a high Level is also a headache ~"
Lin Chen gave a bitter smile.
Advancement cards weren't much help to him.
But for other City Lords, they were important!
Three basic advancement cards could create three Level 3 soldiers!
That was a big boost early on.
After last night's monster attack, everyone would pay more attention and worry about the trial five days later.
His three advancement cards could sell for a good price!
Lin Chen's eyes slowly moved to the last reward—
[City Lord Advancement Card!]
His eyes burned with intensity.
Though protected by Demonic Dragon Knights,
he was still weak!
A single monster could easily kill him.
No matter how strong outside forces were,
none was better than being strong oneself.
Lin Chen did not want to be the general slaughtered in the millions.
He wasn't in a hurry to increase strength, but he wanted to!
He never expected the compensation to contain advancement cards.
Lin Chen almost laughed aloud.
Just as he was dozing, someone handed him a pillow.
"Use!"
Without hesitation, he used the item.
The pale blue card instantly transformed into countless beams of light.
Then,
Lin Chen suddenly felt a surge of strength in his body.
Even his height seemed to increase a bit.
Lin Chen was originally slim but now was very muscular.
He even had visible contours!
Feeling the sudden huge change, Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel.
The Myriad Clans Continent was truly miraculous.
Reaching Level 1 granted such power.
What would Level 3, Level 7, or Level 9 be like?
What mighty power would he then possess!
Lin Chen opened his personal info.
[Lord of Morning Song City: Lin Chen]
[Power: Level 1]
[City Level: One]
[City Troops: Demonic Dragon Knight (SSS-Tier)]
[City Wealth: (Click for details)]
He finally escaped being a weakling and rose to Level 1.
Though a City Lord needn't be stronger than his soldiers,
he at least needed to pass!
Thinking this, Lin Chen smiled wryly.
He clicked to view wealth details.
Last night's gains should be considerable!
