As the Dragon Knight appeared above the Beastman Territory's main city, Rosen's parents watched him transform back into human form and land, their worries alleviated.
"How are you, not hurt, right?"
Rosen shook his head; he just felt a bit dizzy, as though the curse ability of the Undead Race was lifted, it still caused some headache.
Rosen then shared the battle progress from earlier with his parents, making them realize their son didn't need their worries at all.
"I heard there might be dangers in the Lord World, but it seems not too bad, our son's D-level template seems to handle it easily," his mother said.
His father nodded and said, "Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing. However, it's said that danger increases after the novice protection period, but anyway, I believe in Rosen's strength."
Listening to his parents' conversation, Rosen shook his head inwardly, thinking that the Undead Territory wasn't as easy as it seemed.
If not for his special hero who could grow and repeatedly use newly awakened skills in battle, it wouldn't have been so simple.
If it were another A-level hero leading the army to attack the Undead Territory, there'd likely be no return, for it's a territory with a level three main city!
However, he hadn't yet revealed his hero template plans to his parents. Since he decided to hide information for safety, then he should conceal it well.
After lunch.
Rosen laid comfortably on the soft sofa, scrolling through school chat group messages.
"What Tang Xiaohua said yesterday was right, at the edge of my forest, indeed, an enemy territory has appeared, and judging by its development momentum, a level three main city has already emerged!"
"I've also noticed it, but didn't dare to go too deep, still unsure of the enemy's main city level."
"Are they trying to get rid of us? Even I, an A-level hero, feel fear! What is going on with the Lord World awakening this year?"
"Not just you as an A-level hero, even I, an S-level hero, feel fear!"
Someone tagged the principal, but after a long time, the principal only stepped in to comfort everyone:
"Students, no need to worry. The appearance of powerful territories in the Lord World has exceeded the bearing range of hero territory, which means they won't attack hero territories. After all, the Lord World is a place to nurture new heroes, so don't panic."
Only then did everyone calm down, thinking the principal made sense—as long as they don't provoke it, the hero territories likely won't be fully attacked.
It's like sending small troops occasionally to hero territories as a spur action.
The principal spoke again:
"Instead of focusing attention on enemy territories, students might as well pay attention to the upcoming Lord Offensive and Defensive match, which is a good opportunity for new lords to establish their reputation and as a chance to bring glory to our school."
"Previously our school suffered reputation damage due to a D-level, unprecedented. If not restored, your younger schoolmates might have no face, thinking the elite of your batch aren't strong enough, unable to restore the smear by a D-level failure."
Listening to the principal's words made Rosen a bit upset.
"I suggest S-level heroes team up, A-level heroes team up, and hone each other's skills to deal with the Lord Offensive and Defensive match in a month."
The principal's words concluded here, sparking fierce discussions in the school group chat.
Many S-level heroes tagged Tang Xichen, seeking to team up, actually wanting to latch on to her.
And more so, take the opportunity to get closer to Tang Xiaohua, make a face known.
But at this moment, Tang Xichen spoke:
"Last night I led the Angel Corps in a surprise attack, already taking over the enemy territory's level three main city, currently clearing residual buildings. There's a treasure chest inside the enemy territory, holding a token. If anyone wants to team up with me, you can sign up with the token."
After coldly dropping this line, she went offline.
"Holy cow, worthy of a level four main city boss, conquered the enemy territory so quickly!"
"Being the same S-level, I'm ashamed!"
"The conditions to team up with Tang Xiaohua are too difficult, aren't they? No one in our batch can accomplish it, I reckon?"
Heroes hoping to latch onto Tang Xichen, learning the team-up conditions were so harsh, immediately gave up.
Scrolling through chat records, Rosen felt a twinge of desire, a plan soon emerged.
"Enemy territory has a treasure chest? Previously I hadn't noticed it!"
Rosen's Beastman army also clearing enemy territory's buildings, and now he might as well go explore.
In a short while.
Rosen arrived at the Undead Territory, with only a couple of buildings left unbroken.
He saw a group of Beastmen besieging the hero altar, the building's health quite substantial.
Rosen immediately transformed into a Demon Hunter, combined his Dual-Handed Full Moon Spin Blade into a full moon, and used a skill, instantly clearing the remaining health of the hero altar.
Boom!
After the explosion, golden light scattered from beneath the hero altar!
"So the treasure chest is beneath the hero altar, no wonder it wasn't visible before."
At first glance, it's a purple treasure chest, representing the highest rank in chests, King!
What can be inside the highest-level chest?
Rosen was quite expectant!
As purple light spread, he opened the King treasure chest!
Inside, there was only a purple Scroll.
[Undead Race Main City Summon Scroll: Summons the Undead Race Main City, grants building rights for the Undead Army.]
Seeing the description on the Scroll, Rosen's eyes widened.
"Oh my god, it's a Main City Summon Scroll!"
What does getting this item mean?
In a few days, a Rosen-commanded Undead Army will appear on this destroyed Undead Territory!
Exciting!
Rosen restrained the impulse to use the Scroll immediately; though the sooner he uses it, the quicker he can unlock Undead troops.
But this should be the token Tang Xichen mentioned.
Only this Scroll was drawn from the chest; if not the token, what else could it be?
"I can't use it now, I must hold it to approach Sister Tang, and eventually invite Sister Tang to the territory for tea, thereby freeloading her Twelve-winged Angel Goddess!"
Rosen was quite fixated on the hero Twelve-winged Angel Goddess.
In the Central Plains, there was a Nangong Wan who grew into the world's strongest hero through Twelve-winged Angel Goddess, evidencing the hero's immense talent.
If he could transform into the Twelve-winged Angel Goddess and combine with the Golden Slime's hero attributes, how strong he could be is imaginable!
Holding the Undead Race Main City Summon Scroll, Rosen took a photo with his phone.
"Sister Tang's social account shouldn't be blocked now, perfect opportunity to send the photo to her."
Since Tang Xichen recently mentioned teaming, her social account likely isn't blocking messages from strangers now.
After anonymously sending the photo over, soon Tang Xichen replied with three words:
"Who are you?"
Rosen: "A mysterious online friend who wishes to remain anonymous."
As these words appeared on Tang Xichen's phone screen, her indifferent expression remained unchanged, she replied:
"You're pretty good, is it about teaming up?"
Tang Xichen also understood he kept anonymous, not wanting to expose personal information, and didn't continue asking who he was.
"No, I'm not interested in teaming at all. Just want to invite you to the territory for tea, and talk about other topics."
