Chapter 389 - 239: The Harvest Begins
As time passed, in the following period, the strength of everyone in the Knight Order where Thor was located showed a noticeable increase. The number of Great Knights rose from three to five, while the number of those at the Official Knight Peak also saw some increase. At this point, everyone had surpassed the early stage of Official Knights and had at least reached the mid-stage of Official Knights.
Moreover, the more important aspect was not just the increase in level, but the transformation of combat ability.
During the ten days, frequent assaults from Demon Beasts occurred at the cavern’s location.
As a harbor, the place attracted many Demon Beasts.
Conflicts inevitably broke out.
Initially, Thor still had Reine take action, but as the Demon Beasts’ levels weren’t too high, Thor began to try allowing his Knight Order to handle the situation.
Battle after battle ensued.
Injuries were inevitable, but so was the improvement in strength.
Compared to ten days before, the temperament of the entire Knight Order had clearly undergone a significant change from top to bottom.
It could be predicted that even without anything else, the fifty plus people brought by Thor would have brighter prospects ahead.
Not just the fifty-four-member Knight Order, even Marshall, an Earth Knight, saw a noticeable improvement in combat abilities. Although Marshall’s combat ability wasn’t weak initially, his breakthrough to Earth Knight status didn’t grant him much combat experience as an Earth Knight.
In these ten days, through continuous fights with Demon Beasts, many of which were Tier Three Magical Beasts, it had a considerable impact on Marshall.
In the dim sky, a slight glow began to spread, signaling the arrival of a new day.
The time had now reached the eleventh day.
Outside, the power of the Abyssal Storm seemed to have diminished slightly once more.
The number of Demon Beasts attacking the cavern today noticeably decreased.
Until night fell, there was only one wave of Demon Beast attacks, mostly Tier One and Tier Two, without any presence of Tier Three Magical Beasts.
"Phew!"
"Just wait one more day."
Expelling a breath of turbid air, Thor gazed into the distant sky, his expression somewhat grave.
At this moment, he had still made up his mind.
Over the past few days, he had considered and thought through many things.
For him, that Earth Bear was indeed a tremendous opportunity, not only possessing a Law Fragment but also the Earth Bear itself. If attainable, the benefits were unimaginable, and as for the risks, the current Abyssal Storm was within tolerable limits.
Of course, to avoid unexpected incidents, Thor decided to wait one more day.
Since a decision was made, he could wait for daily intelligence updates.
In this way, even if there were dangers, they could be avoided.
Time slowly advanced, and the night deepened.
The familiar mechanical sound rang out again.
Soon, line after line of text appeared.
[Daily Intelligence Updated]
[1: Three hours later, a group of nobility from the Blazing Kingdom in the north discovered the diminishing Abyssal Storm and left the harbor to explore the surroundings, only to unexpectedly encounter a group of Tier Four Magical Beasts, resulting in the complete annihilation of their Knight Order.]
[2: One day later,.......]
[3: One day later.......]
[4: The day before yesterday, within a hundred-mile range in front of the big tree to your harbor’s right, in a forest, an adult Earth Bear gave birth to its descendants. Due to the approaching Abyssal Storm, a large number of Demon Beasts gathered, and an Earth Dragon eyed the weakened Earth Bear. To divert the Earth Dragon group, the Earth Bear, weakened, launched an attack against them.]
[5: The day after tomorrow, the first wave of Law Fragments will descend on this Exotic Realm, and a Law Fragment will land directly into the Earth Bear’s nest. Although you discovered that this Law Fragment is not of the Ice Attribute, Thunder, or Death, you realized that Law Fragments can sense each other. At this time, a Duke’s descendant from the Macedonian Kingdom accidentally arrived, and you discovered that he also carried a Law Fragment.]
[6: You obtained an Ice Attribute Law Fragment, and your Law Mark received a significant enhancement.]
[7: Four days later, the Abyssal Storm subsides, and news of the Law Fragments is transmitted to all the nobility. The slaughter begins, and you are attacked by a Knight Order from the Spencer Family who discovered your trail.]
......
His gaze instantly fixated on a line of text.
As soon as his sight landed on the first line, Thor’s brow involuntarily twitched. He hadn’t expected that someone else had the same idea as him and ended up finished.
It was evident that even if the Abyssal Storm was starting to weaken, the level of danger in the core area remained extremely high.
Thankfully, it seemed there was only this one unfortunate individual, and no further dangers were hinted at in the subsequent lines of intelligence.
At least this time, there were no new dangers within his decision.
This undoubtedly allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yet as he relaxed, his eyes also brightened significantly.
In the lines of intelligence content, he saw more things.
For instance, the Earth Bear, it seemed likely that it would be captured by him. Additionally, he acquired two Law Fragments, one of which was an Ice Attribute Law Fragment.
