The Dark Night Kingdom was a large city-state established by the Dark Elves in the Ten Thousand Mountains region.
Because it lacked a Heart of the Kingdom, it could not be recognized by the world's rules and other kingdom or imperial forces, hence it could only be called a kingdom.
However, the strength of the Dark Night Kingdom was definitely not weaker than that of a kingdom-level force, and was even slightly stronger than many kingdom-level forces.
Although the Dark Elf population was not large, numbering less than fifty thousand, almost all Dark Elves were warriors.
Furthermore, in the Dark Night Kingdom, there were four publicly known Monarch-tier powerhouses. As for how many there were in secret, no one knew.
However, Carter, who was well-informed about the Dark Night Kingdom and was seasoned by age, had made an estimate.
The Dark Night Kingdom likely had two more Monarch-tier powerhouses hidden in secret.
This meant that the Dark Night Kingdom had a total of six Monarch-tier powerhouses.
The strongest among them was naturally the ruler of the Dark Night Kingdom, a being who had long since entered the peak of the Monarch tier, and perhaps even reached the half-saint level.
Regardless, the Dark Night Kingdom had been developing for thousands of years in the extremely chaotic Ten Thousand Mountains region, so its immense power was quite normal.
However, when the Dark Elf compared her kingdom, which had developed for thousands of years, to a territory that had only been developing for over a dozen days, Terrence sneered mockingly.
Seeing Terrence's expression, the Dark Elf's heart immediately surged with anger.
Without a word, she raised her hand, intending to slap Terrence. But her gaze suddenly swept past the inconspicuous old goblin standing beside him, and she forcefully suppressed her anger.
This was because, the first time she had come, she had already known that although this old goblin looked ordinary, his strength was unfathomably deep, even terrifyingly powerful.
To act against someone in his presence here would undoubtedly be a foolish act.
Just then, the undead mage beside them stepped in as a peacemaker.
With his rasping, tattered-cloth-like voice, he said with a smile, "Why argue about this now? Everything will become clear once he arrives!"
"However, Your Highness mentioned that the lord is in the Endless Abyss region. At such a great distance, how will he get here?"
However, as soon as the undead mage finished speaking, brilliant golden light flashed outside the great hall.
The few of them hurried out and saw that not far from the royal palace, an open space was enveloped in a dazzling golden light.
Within the golden light, the outline of a formation platform could vaguely be seen.
A moment later, as the golden light dispersed, a hexagonal teleportation array platform appeared before them.
This scene left them all in awe, especially the Dark Elf and the undead mage, who were repeatedly astonished.
"This is actually a teleportation array! No wonder that lord said he would arrive here immediately from the Endless Abyss region. With this array, any distance would be covered in an instant!"
"Hiss... To be able to construct such a teleportation array with just a blueprint, this is truly astonishing! Is this the unique power of the lord of a territory?"
...
They were all exclaiming in admiration. However, Carter and Terrence had seen such scenes before, so they were not as amazed as the Dark Elf and the undead mage.
They were all indigenous intelligent beings of the Primordial Continent, with their own unique experiences. Most of them had lived for hundreds of years and were thus very knowledgeable.
Yet, even so, they could not help but be shocked by the strangeness of this power.
"The teleportation array is basically built now. We just need to wait for that legendary lord to arrive!"
"Mm! Let's wait and see what kind of person this legendary lord is! Heh heh..."
...
In the Immortal-Demonic Tribe.
After speaking with the little brat, Xiao Mo took out another stack of blueprints.
These blueprints totaled twenty-six sheets, consisting of twenty-four [Troop Evolution Blueprints] and two [Troop Expansion Blueprints].
The extra Troop Evolution Blueprint was a leftover from the previous troop evolution.
As only one was left, Xiao Mo couldn't find a suitable person to use it for the time being, so he kept it.
Now, with a total of twenty-four Troop Evolution Blueprints, Xiao Mo had already arranged their usage.
He directly exchanged them to realize his planned Immortal-Demonic troop types, distributed the evolution blueprints of various tiers to them, and let them evolve on their own.
After finishing, Xiao Mo looked at the two [Troop Expansion Blueprints] remaining in his hand.
It was worth mentioning here that this was the first time Xiao Mo had obtained two [Troop Expansion Blueprints] at once in a single war.
Previously, when [Troop Expansion Blueprints] dropped, they were one by one, and the drop rate was quite low.
Up to this point, Xiao Mo had only used this type of blueprint four times in total, and one of them was almost given away for free by Jin Xuan.
However, in this war against the Dwarf Kingdom, two were dropped at once.
Perhaps, this was closely related to the scale of the war.
In this war, at least sixty to seventy thousand Dwarf warriors and civilians were killed by the Immortal-Demonic Tribe army.
Among them were two Monarch-tier powerhouses, dozens of Monarch-tier powerhouses, and over a hundred tenth-tier Dwarves...
In short, the war was large-scale, the number of kills was high, and the enemy's strength was formidable, so it was normal for many good items to drop.
The two [Troop Expansion Blueprints] were one intermediate and one low-grade.
Xiao Mo didn't think further and directly used both blueprints together.
In a moment.
Forty golden and crimson light orbs appeared before Xiao Mo.
After consuming one low-grade and one intermediate-grade expansion blueprint, he obtained forty Immortal-Demonic troops for free.
This number exceeded Xiao Mo's expectations considerably.
He had originally thought that around thirty would be good.
The next moment, all forty light orbs shattered.
Forty Immortal-Demonic troops appeared before Xiao Mo.
"Greetings, Master!"
All forty Immortal-Demonic troops knelt on one knee simultaneously and respectfully saluted Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, signaling them to stand up, while he began to check their detailed information.
As he looked, Xiao Mo's smile disappeared, and his gaze became somewhat dazed, with a deep sense of helplessness mixed in.
Out of forty Immortal-Demonic troops, only three were Xuan-tier warriors, and the remaining thirty-seven were all Huang-tier warriors.
This made Xiao Mo feel extremely speechless.
It could be said that this was definitely the unluckiest day in the past ten-plus days.
This was a total of forty Immortal-Demonic troops! Even according to the reincarnation rate of the [Immortal-Demonic Reincarnation Pool], there should have been at least twelve Xuan-tier warriors or above!
That was a thirty percent reincarnation rate, there was no reason for it to turn out this way.
"Xian Qing'er, Mo Wuxin, these Immortal-Demonic troops are yours to handle!"
Xiao Mo said with a dejected face, waving his hand helplessly towards Xian Qing'er and Mo Wuxin.
Although his luck was a bit bad, they were still forty Immortal-Demonic troops.
Even if they were all Huang-tier warriors, so what?
Their potential for growth was still much stronger than the ordinary troops of top-tier lords.
After they fully grew, they would at least have the strength of a peak Monarch tier, and they could still advance further through cultivation.
Moreover, the combat power of Immortal-Demonic troops was inherently much higher than that of other troops of the same tier.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo felt a little bit comforted.
After the newly reincarnated Immortal-Demonic troops had all rejoined their ranks, Xiao Mo looked at the six light cocoons beneath the Immortal-Demonic Double Statue.
He could only hope that the troop evolution would be luckier and not cause any more trouble.
However, just as Xiao Mo was thinking this, the six light cocoons began to vibrate violently.
This scene made Xiao Mo's heart suddenly jump.
Had the evolution ended so quickly?
But the previous evolution took several times longer than this one.
If it wasn't the end of the evolution, could it be that they had all failed to evolve?
Thinking of this, a look of tension appeared on Xiao Mo's face, and his fists clenched unconsciously...
