The Almighty Ring - Chapter 555

Chapter 555: 555

Jiang Fei left a rather good impression of himself on Si Tuying’s father . He even managed to win over her third brother, Si Tunan, with cash . Therefore, Jiang Fei had acquired her entire family’s approval .

However, it was getting late . Jiang Fei did not want to prolong his stay at Si Tuying’s house . After some brief chatter, he bade them farewell . When he left, Si Tujianxin and Si Tunan even asked him to visit them more often .

When Jiang Fei got home, it was already almost eleven o’clock . He logged into the game immediately after he returned to his room .

“Why did you come so late again?” Isabella asked curiously .

“Something got in the way…” Jiang Fei felt slightly self-conscious when he spoke . After all, he had gone after another chick in the real world .

“Oh . ” Isabella nodded and did not probe any further . After all, it was not the first time Jiang Fei came late . Moreover, she could not help him with things in the external world anyway .

“Let’s go to the Demon Flame Fortress!” Jiang Fei changed the topic of discussion .

“Alright!” Isabella nodded obediently .

Thereafter, Jiang Fei and Isabella met up with Hua Mulan who was stationed on the outside of the Nephilim King’s Palace . He had to bring these ladies away before returning to the Demon Flame Fortress .

“Hua Mulan, gather the troops . We are leaving!” Jiang Fei came to the temporary base and said to Hua Mulan .

“Alright!” Hua Mulan nodded as she turned around to do as he said .

Not long after, all 700 female soldiers gathered around .

“Master Verdure Glider, I would like to express our loyalty to you on behalf of the New Saint’s Guard,” Hua Mulan said to Jiang Fei with a bow after the troops had fully gathered .

“Ah?!” Jiang Fei was stunned . He was not sure what Hua Mulan was talking about .

“Ding! Congratulations, player Verdure Glider for obtaining your first private army! You can now check and manage your army in the Commanding Window!”

“Ding! As you are the first player to own a private army, the system rewards you with 100 Commanding points!”

“Ding! A public announcement! As player Verdure Glider had obtained his first private army, the Commanding System is now officially open to everyone!”

“Sh*t! What the hell is this?” Jiang Fei was stunned . He immediately opened his Attributes Window .

After checking, he noticed that there was an additional Commanding page at the bottom of his list of Attributes . It showed his private army and their basic attributes .

Commanding Points 10+100 (Every Commanding Point gives you ten additional private army members! Every 100 Commanding Point allows you to build an entire army!)

Army: New Saint’s Guard

Number of members: 753

Lead Commander: Hua Mulan

Average Level: 70 (Elite)

Average Reputation: Respect

Loyalty: 90

Status: Tired, Lacking Equipment .

At one glance, Jiang Fei quickly understood what the Commanding System meant . This represented a player’s ability to command units . Unlike pets, although the units listened to players, they could not enter dungeons with them . They also could not enter mobile spaces . They could not even be revived after dying .

All players started with ten Commanding points . That meant one could at the most collect 100 loyal members . However, the quality of members would depend on the player’s capability . If a player wanted to obtain more members after the first 100 members, he or she would need to find equipment or other items to increase his or her Commanding points .

Although Jiang Fei had 700 proper female soldiers, they were not in a good state . They may be very loyal and treated Jiang Fei with a high Reputation, but most of them were only just rescued out of jails . They were still wearing jail clothes and were lacking in equipment . Most were also tired and needed rest and nourishment before they could recover their battle powers .

“Why did they suddenly express loyalty toward me?” Although Jiang Fei understood the Commanding System, he was still a little surprised by Hua Mulan and the 700 females’ willingness to submit to him .

“Isn’t that simple…” Isabella rolled her eyes as she explained to Jiang Fei .

Hua Mulan and the rest had betrayed the Light Faction when they came over to the Dark Faction . Although Jiang Fei had acquired identities for them from the Nephilim King, these people did not directly belong to the Nephilim King . If they did not obey any of the superiors in the Dark Faction, they would be sent to the frontlines . After all, they would have to prove themselves from the very bottom .

Also, if Hua Mulan and the rest were put in the frontlines, they would be placed at the most horrid areas of the battlefield . Moreover, the soldiers from the Light Faction hated them deeply for their betrayal . Therefore, they would not have any chance of survival on the battlefield .

However, fortunately, Jiang Fei was very influential as the princess’ husband . Although he did not have a lot of say in the Dark Faction, he still held a high position . Moreover, the female soldiers had a very high Reputation toward Jiang Fei . Therefore, under Hua Mulan’s influence, all of them pledged their loyalty to Jiang Fei .

After becoming Jiang Fei’s private army, these ladies would not have to fight in the frontlines . They only needed to obey Jiang Fei’s orders and follow him around . That way, they would have a higher chance of survival .

“I see now!” Jiang Fei nodded after Isabella was done explaining .

“Alright then! Since they have pledged their loyalty to me, I shall not call them the Saint’s Guard anymore . Let’s change their name to the Rosette Knighthood!” Jiang Fei said after some thought .

“Ding! The army’s name has been changed successfully!”

Jiang Fei had named them as such to commemorate the Rosette Knighthood’s members . Ever since the original Rosette Knighthood joined forces with the Empyreal Dragon, there weren’t many of the ladies left from the guild . After all, the ladies were mostly daughters of rich families . They only played the game for fun . After they became bored with the game, they gradually left . Out of the forty who joined the game, there were less than five of them left . The remaining ladies were all lured away by other newer games .

Jiang Fei brought the Rosette Knighthood from the Nephilim King’s Palace to the Demon Flame Fortress through a portal . Instead of bringing them to Ivan to request for a place to stay, he brought the Rosette Knighthood to his own Demon Dragon Fortress .

This was the name he gave his new fortress . After all, he and Isabella were both half Naga and half Nephilim . Therefore, this was an appropriate name for their fortress .

By then, the place had already been in construction for more than twenty days . The initial structure of the Demon Dragon Fortress was already in place . The walls were already completed . The archery towers and cannons were fully equipped with battle powers . Although there were still some incomplete constructions in the external wall, and some parts of the interior were not done, the fortress already had pretty impressive defensive capabilities .

“Hehe! It’s great to be rich!” Jiang Fei showed a look of satisfaction .

His castle had cost him more than five times the normal price of building one . However, the castle had at most two times the amount of normal Attack Power . The speed of building had also been increased by 50% . All in all, it was not worth the amount of money he had spent . However, as Jiang Fei had robbed the Light Faction of seven of its towns, he had quite a lot of money to spend lavishly .

After checking the time, there were still two days until the information release date . After tomorrow, a lot of players would enter the Faction zone . By then, although the Demon Dragon Fortress would still need some time to complete the interior construction, the walls would be complete . Based on the current players’ capabilities with a level average of 50, it would be impossible for them to break through the Demon Dragon Fortress .
