Chapter 54 Territory Level 3
After the Battle of the Nile, the higher-ups of the entire Yulan Continent also learned that the Tianfeng Kingdom possessed a large number of magic crystals.
However, even the Dark Church failed, and now there are only two or three other factions on the Yulan Continent whose strength can surpass that of the Dark Church.
In the mortal war, the Dark Church failed to penetrate the territory. However, when some people wanted to end the war with the Holy Land, they discovered that two members of the Dark Church had mysteriously disappeared from the Holy Land in the Chaotic Realm.
The Holy Lands are like makeshift troupes; after some inquiries, it became clear that the Dark Church's loss of two Holy Lands members could not be kept secret.
The fall of the two Saint-level powerhouses made the world understand why the Dark Church chose to wage war.
Having failed in the battles at the top level and lost in the battles at the bottom level, it's no wonder that the Dark Church has gone out of business.
With the Dark Church's paid publicity, the Heavenly Wind Kingdom also ushered in a real opportunity for development.
Although many level nine powerhouses do not know the difference between the two Saint Domains, it is undeniable that the Heavenly Wind Kingdom has truly established itself in the Chaotic Territory by causing the Dark Church's power to decline.
A large number of level eight and nine experts flocked to join him, which led Karl to go into seclusion from time to time, and when he came out, he would give a long explanation of his cultivation experience.
For other Saint-level experts, unless they have the opportunity to step into the Saint-level realm or were once friends, the difference between level nine and the Saint-level realm is like heaven and earth.
But Karl had no choice, or rather, Karl had a need for them.
After all, no matter how many level nine experts join, there can't be a hundred level nine peak experts joining.
"Your Majesty, there are now 9,772 level-eight warriors, over 600 level-eight archmages, 109 level-nine warriors, and two level-nine grand archmages," Luo reported diligently.
"I understand, you may leave."
Three years.
The territory of the Skywind Kingdom has expanded by about one-third, most of which came from level seven and eight players who voluntarily surrendered.
These 109 level-9 warriors were added over the past three years.
Three years ago, Karl only had twenty-four level nine warriors in the Skywind Kingdom. After Kasa's betrayal, the number dropped to twenty-three.
Three years later, twenty-two people from the Tianfeng Kingdom were promoted, and sixty-four people joined them.
Those who were promoted naturally only had the strength of the early stage of level nine, while among the level nine people who came to join, seven had reached the peak of level nine.
With William added, Karl now has eight peak level nine experts under his command.
The eight peak level nine individuals are at least three hundred years old, and the youngest is only a little over one hundred and sixty.
As for the ninth-level archmages, they are indeed more useful than the ninth-level warriors, but in reality, their progress in strength is very slow. Both of them are over three hundred years old, and their strength is only at the mid-ninth level, approaching the late-ninth level.
Compared to a level nine warrior, a level nine archmage who can reach the peak of level nine is almost guaranteed to become a saint. However, the difficulty lies in how to reach the peak of level nine.
With a larger base of territory, Karl would naturally choose to grant titles and lands, since they were all his subjects.
Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron – in previous lives, these were the highest ranks of officialdom, bestowed with titles and honors.
They all first became officials, then gained merit, and were granted titles.
This is the Magnolia Continent, where different ranks are obtained based on varying levels of strength.
Karl bestowed titles upon all 110 level-nine powerhouses.
Most of them were earls, while Karl made marquises for those who made outstanding contributions in the war against the Dark Church, such as Kevin and William.
Kevin's son was only a level seven warrior, and according to the rules, he could only serve as a leader in a regular army. However, after Kevin was ennobled, his son was directly transferred to the elite army and appointed as a legion commander.
This is Karl's guarantee for the Marquis.
In any family that has been granted a title, there will inevitably be one member who can occupy a position that can only be held by an eighth-level warrior.
This position will remain unchanged as long as the Tianfeng Kingdom survives, even if Kevin dies without achieving the Saint Realm.
Hereditary succession without replacement.
This was not only Karl's method; many kingdoms and empires used similar approaches.
Just like the royal families of some empires, even those at the seventh level can have a duke's fiefdom.
After bestowing lavish rewards, Karl gradually began to pay less and less attention to the development of the Skywind Kingdom.
He simply sets aside time each year to explain the cultivation experience of battle qi and the understanding of the power of heaven and earth to the level nine experts.
Although Karl's cultivation of battle qi had passively increased in the past, his understanding of it was still in place, not to mention that Karl has now already reached the Saint-level.
Thus, the tenth year passed.
The first Saint-level being under Karl's command has been born.
It wasn't William as Carl remembered him, but Bean Wright, who had come to join them more than a decade ago.
Karl's impression of him was that he was a man of few words.
However, no matter what, the birth of a Saint within the territory is something to be happy about.
Karl was pleased, but the other level-nine peak experts in the kingdom were even more pleased.
After all, they all knew about Bean's situation. He became a level nine warrior at the age of one hundred and twenty, and it took him nearly a hundred years to barely reach the peak of level nine. As for the time since he reached the peak of level nine, it has been more than seventy years.
He had already accumulated his fighting spirit to its limit, but he was still unable to advance any further.
Without comprehending the power of heaven and earth, one cannot enter the realm of sainthood.
The power of heaven and earth can be understood if one can comprehend it, but if one cannot comprehend it, it is like trying to see flowers through fog.
Now that a powerful being is willing to guide the forces of heaven and earth, as long as they can comprehend them, it means that they too have the possibility of entering the Saint Realm.
After Bean achieved the Saint Realm, the Kingdom of Skywind seemed to blossom.
William also successfully entered the Sanctuary in his fifteenth year.
Kairo Velt entered the Sanctuary in his seventeenth year.
Stephen Dufenshus successfully entered the Sanctuary in the twenty-third year.
Andy also entered the Sanctuary in the twenty-fifth year.
The Wind Shadow Pavilion, which Karl once founded, now has a strongest member, Ogreev, who is still some distance from the peak of level nine. The second strongest member, Linghorei, has only just reached the late stage of level nine. As for the other five disciples, they are all still in the mid to late stage of level nine.
[Level 9 100/100, Sanctuary 5/5]

[Boss Bonus: 10% → 100%]
Karl suddenly felt that his comprehension had been greatly enhanced, and he quickly checked the system and found that his territory had indeed been upgraded.
"Indeed, coming to the Chaotic Realm was the right decision."
If Karl hadn't come to the Chaotic Realm, he believed it would have taken at least another hundred years before the territory could be promoted.
With his territory upgraded to level three, Karl's total bonus reached 110%.
