The Skyfire City Lord was stunned. More than a dozen of his generals were actually all killed by this warrior in front of him!
“How is this possible? I never knew there was such a warrior in Sky City!”
But no matter how many questions he had, the fact was that he had lost. He had lost completely!
He had taken the initiative to attack, which caused his defeat. After all, if the three thousand ancient Greek infantrymen were to attack the city, they’d lose their advantage.
Although they would take down the city with their powerful individual strength, they would definitely lose people during the process.
“I, I lost?”
The Skyfire City Lord sat in the war chariot of the central army in a daze. He looked at his massacred troops with disbelief in his eyes.
It had only been a day, just a day! He had actually lost. He was totally overpowered.
Looking at the two figures slowly approaching on horseback, the Skyfire City Lord finally asked in puzzlement.
“The two of you are so powerful. Why do you serve the small Sky City?
“If you want, you can become become great generals in a kingdom.
“If you want, you can even recruit soldiers and attack cities to become lords!”
The Skyfire City Lord just couldn’t understand why such powerful generals would actually be loyal to a small city lord that only had 100,000 people?
“Hehe.”
Athena and Heracles sneered.
This person in front of them actually said that the two of them could become generals?
We Are Gods!
Mortals would never understand!
Just like the farmers in the fields, they would imagine that the king would use a golden hoe to hoe the fields, eat roasted meat every meal, and have three wives.
Athena and Hercules didn’t bother to answer him.
They did not need to explain to anyone. Their loyalty to Jerry was unshakable no matter what!
Raising their weapons, the two of them killed Skyfire City Lord without any hesitation.
The city lord was the spiritual pillar of a city, so they must kill him to completely control these cities.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to conquer his city.
After Skyfire City fell, Jerry, who was far away in Sky City, received the good news.
The system’s voice sounded.
[ Congratulations, master, for conquering one medium-sized city. You obtained three summoning opportunities. ]
Jerry was overjoyed! Although the news had not been transmitted to him yet, he knew that he had won.
One medium-level city, three low-level cities. Jerry’s strength had increased by several folds.
After all, Sky City was only a small city, with only 100,000 people!
And this Skyfire City, including the population of the three subordinate cities, had more than 600,000 people!
Such a huge population was enough for Jerry to build a powerful army.
With 100,000 people supporting an army of 10,000 soldiers, he could build an elite army with ease.
And now, with a total of 700,000 people, he could build an army of 70,000 soldiers!
Jerry gave some room to his calculation and found he could at least build an army of 50,000 soldiers with 700,000 people!
His power had skyrocketed. One had to know that on the modern internet, those who had an army of more than 10,000 people were godlike figures on various major forums.
But this was not an internet game. He had transmigrated into another world.
Governing a city and waging wars were not as simple as it sounded.
Hence, one could develop an initial city to a city with 10,000 troops. This was a great feat since such a city was among the medium level cities.
As for kingdoms, no one on earth had ever achieved such a feat.
Of course, maybe some people did it but had kept it in a low profile.
Including Skyfire City, its three subsidiary cities, and his Sky City, he was now a big shot with five cities!
After he had 12 cities, he could build a kingdom.
Jerry did not know what would happen after establishing a kingdom, but he believed that it would be something extraordinary. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
“The plan now should be to quickly expand the army and establish a kingdom as soon as possible!”
Jerry made the decision. He would not save the summoning opportunities. The earlier he used them, the strong he could grow.
The more cities he conquered, the more rewards he would receive. Then, he would be able to develop and become stronger like a rolling snowball.
Therefore, under such circumstances, there was no need to save the summoning opportunities for later, because saving them would gain him nothing.
“Begin Summoning!”
With Jerry’s order, the Eternal Roster began summoning.
“I already have two war-related gods, Athena and Hercules. I don’t need more gods good at warfare.
“I also have goddess of wisdom, Metis, to manage the cities. However, she’s only one person and might not be able to manage so many places. After all, I have many more cities than before!
“Maybe an army? If I can summon the heroic spirits of an army and let them possess my army, then my military strength will definitely increase greatly!
“Alas, it’s so hard to choose. Every one of them is good, and I want every one of them, but I can only get one.”
While he was flipping through the Eternal Roster, Jerry was wondering what he’d summon.
Having already summoned powerful gods like Hercules, Athena and Metis, he felt that he might not be able to get a good one this time.
In fact, Jerry wanted an army.
Because of the sudden expansion in territory and population, Jerry could afford to keep an army of fifty thousand.
With so many soldiers, he’d need one year or so to train them into an elite army.
If he could summon heroic soul of a legendary army, he could put his army to battles immediately!
[ Congratulations, Master. You have obtained a legendary army: 50,000 Byzantine armored cavalry! ]
The first one was actually a legendary army! Jerry was thrilled at his good luck.
Whatever he wanted, it landed in his lap.
This was a Byzantine armored cavalry!
What was a Byzantine armored cavalry? It was the most powerful cavalry troop under the Eastern Roman Empire!
One of the most powerful cavalries of the time!
