The Twelve-winged Angel chased after them, unleashing a burst of Holy Light, completely annihilating the group of Naga Race archers.
Simply stunning!
It's not just that the Twelve-winged Angel is handsome and charming; his Holy Light skill deals an astonishing 4,500 damage!
Even if Rosen transforms into a Demon Hunter, his maximum damage barely reaches over 3,000, nowhere near 4,000.
That's nearly a 1,000 damage gap.
Of course, the pure attribute gap between a Demon Hunter and a Twelve-winged Angel is likely only a few hundred.
It's also because of the Golden Slime attribute stacking, combined with skill amplification, that the gap can be widened.
Just as Rosen finished off the Naga Race archers, the sea elementals in the distance turned to flee.
Seeing this scene, Rosen was bewildered.
It seems that in the Lord World, not only heroes can develop intelligence; even some of the smarter Demon Race members can make basic strength judgments.
But just as Rosen was considering deploying Beastmen Laborers to collect gold mines here, the sound of fighting between two groups caught his attention.
At this point, Rosen's clone reached its five-minute limit and dispersed, so Rosen sought out the direction of the fighting sounds alone.
Hiding behind a giant rock, Rosen saw on the hillside ahead an Elf Race legion numbering over a thousand, charging down and clashing with a similarly near-thousand-strong Naga Race legion!
The mighty Naga Race warriors, large-bodied, blocked the front lines, wielding golden sea spears that could almost kill an Elf Archer in a single strike.
The Elf Female Hunter rode a panther, charging into battle, meeting the Naga Race warriors.
The Naga Race warriors, seemingly under some command, directly avoided the more formidable female hunters, opting to first kill the Elf Archers with ranged attacks.
Facing hundreds of Naga Race warriors, the Elf Race's Tree-men shielded the archers behind them, blocking the Naga warriors but suffered from a volley of arrows from the Naga Race archers.
Under home-field advantage, the Naga Race successfully repelled the Elf Race's attack.
After both sides lost a fifth of their troops, they chose to cease hostilities and retreated to their respective territories.
Indeed, there was another gold mine nearby, situated by a river covered by forest, housing the Naga Race territory.
And on a slope by the riverside, on the elevated land, there was just an Elf Race territory!
Different races, different minds!
After development and expansion, friction and clashes continually occurred between the two sides. The gold mine at Rosen's location, likely had Naga Race archers sent to guard it against being seized by the Elf Race.
After all, the gold mine was quite close to the Naga territory, also within the water domain, making it easier for them to control.
Rosen immediately abandoned the idea of sending laborers to mine.
On one hand, the distance is quite far; on the other hand, it constantly faces threats from two armies.
More importantly, Beastman Laborers would expose the location of Rosen's territory!
He certainly couldn't risk attacking one of the territories from both sides.
One must know, whether Elf or Naga Race, army numbers are above three or four thousand, and both armies have a group of roughly a hundred of powerful units.
What does this mean?
It means that even if Rosen transforms into a Twelve-winged Angel, he would be worn down by large amounts of troops in a short time.
This level of war isn't something that can be turned around by relying on a hero's strength.
Rosen didn't become arrogant from seizing the Undead Territory, lacking the most basic understanding.
You should know, the Undead Territory at that time only had army numbers barely in the hundreds.
The gap between them is too enormous.
And the Naga and Elf Race territories he just witnessed are at least awakened to third-level main city sizes.
"Whether it's the Naga Race or Elf Race, until they've fought to death, they're unlikely to recklessly attack my Beastman Territory."
"Moreover, there's an Undead Territory in between, as long as the Undead Territory is developed, it can become a barrier. Besides, during a short time, those two territories won't easily determine a winner, giving the Undead Territory ample time to develop."
After confirming the existence of more opposing territories in Lord World, Rosen became more cautious.
He planned to clean up roaming Demon Race members while also expanding outward as much as possible, scouting dangerous locations and distances in advance.
Transforming into a Dragon Knight, he made a wide circle.
Preliminary scouting showed no more danger within ten kilometers, aside from the already-cleared Undead Territory.
Between ten to fifteen kilometers, there appeared territories of Elf and Naga Races, only one each.
Between fifteen to twenty kilometers, no territories were discovered, but there were some lone gold mines.
Beyond the outer regions, Rosen didn't have enough energy to explore, plus as the exploration distance increases, the area needing exploration grows exponentially.
So he chose to end this exploration and return to the territory.
Reviewed the spoils from killing Demon Race members during his trip.
There was a total of 1,000 Gold Coins and 950 Lord Coins.
Gold Coins are one of the territory's development materials, which Rosen wasn't too concerned about, but Lord Coins can be exchanged for RMB, the living expenses foundation for Rosen's family.
950 Lord Coins, equivalent to 95,000 RMB!
Upon returning home, Rosen handed over 5,000 RMB to his parents, keeping the remaining 90,000 RMB for himself.
Currently, the Lord Coins didn't excite him; one reason is the lack of available products in Lord Mall during the newbie protection period.
Another reason is that holding handfuls of cash feels much more refreshing than watching a screen with numbers in the hundreds or thousands!
His parents surprisingly lamented the fast money coming from being a Lord.
One trip out, he netted earnings that ordinary folks could earn in a month.
But if they knew Rosen had circled around over ten kilometers, they probably wouldn't think making money is easy.
Occasionally in the school chat group, some S-level newbie lords showed off their wealth.
"Being a Lord isn't normal fast money; today I took twenty soldiers from my territory out hunting, found a group of bandits, unexpectedly netted 10 Lord Coins!"
"Nani? Where'd you find 10 Lord Coins? How are bandits that rich? Didn't you hit a bandit nest?"
"Hehe, you guessed right, but it was a bandit camp with about thirty people; I found a treasure chest inside, it opened to 10 Lord Coins, plus 100 silver taels."
"Bro, don't show off your mere 10 Lord Coins; I just cleared a bunch of Slimes. Who knew Slimes are hoarders, secretly keeping 30 Lord Coins, that's another 3,000 RMB in hand?"
Each person talked about their adventures, some flaunting wealth in different ways.
Yet suddenly, someone mentioned Rosen in the chat.
"Speaking of Slimes, in our grade, isn't there a poor soul who awakened as a Slime?"
"You're talking about that Rosen, his family was likely driven out of the central plains, awakened such a trashy hero, they wouldn't dare stay in the central plains, afraid of being cyberbullied to death."
"Seems like that guy hasn't left the group yet; anyone who knows him, quickly mention him, let's see if he's living like a wanderer now? I heard his parents were directly fired because of this."
"Wasn't his dad disabled early on, always a lifetime waste on a wheelchair?"
"…"
As they chatted, the topic became more and more excessive.
Initially, Rosen endured, considering them clowns, feeling proud after earning some Lord Coins.
But as it went on, he truly couldn't take this affront lightly, as he's eating by his own strength, having no need for tolerance.
He immediately sent a screenshot of his bank account.
"Unit, ten, hundred… hundred thousand, half a million?"
"Hmm? Is this photoshopped, how could Rosen have 50,000 in savings?"
Even for those newly awakened as A-level heroes, the newbie lords earn faster money; after a month of struggle, barely reaching a monthly income over ten thousand.
Thinking it was someone else's picture, but seeing the name, it really was Rosen, they suspected photoshop.
Seeing their disbelief, Rosen said, "Although I haven't awakened a territory, recent crematorium business is booming, no choice, too many newbie lords die, the boss couldn't help but increase my salary, honestly, this year's newbie lords awakened as A-level heroes are poor."
A classmate even sent a photo taken at the crematorium, in the photo, Rosen in full crematorium work attire, overseeing the cremation ceremony.
And the ones being sent into the incinerator were their classmates and homeroom teacher's corpses!
The classmate who sent the photo, helpfully said, "At the time, I thought I was seeing things, isn't this Rosen? Turns out, it is him!"
"What the?! A student working at the crematorium, personally sending off classmates and teachers? What kind of plot is this!"
"That's not the point, right? The point is, does the crematorium pay this well?!"
