Chapter 441 - Magical Beasts’ Military Factory

Chapter 441: Magical Beasts’ Military Factory
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Orc Priest Augustus that was supported by Yang Ling, started changing the number and the species of Magical Beasts repeatedly. Even though they failed repeatedly and didn’t get good mutant Magical Beasts, they still started grasping and understanding some patterns and rules.
If they refined Evil Eyes and spiders together, they would either get a stupid ugly monster or nothing. If they refined Vampire Bats and horned beasts together, they would get a Magical Beast slower than Vampire Bats that didn’t have the horned beasts’ venomous strings.
However, if they refined two low-level Magical Beasts such as Vampire Bats and spiders together, they would get an appropriate Magical Beast that retained the spiders’ venom attack, sneak-attack gifts as well as a pair of bats’ wings. It could fly at a low-altitude like flying spiders.

Augustus, throw two hundred spiders and four hundred Vampire Bats, and add to them some Ancient Agarwood.
After Yang Ling tested the fighting prowess of the mutant Magical Beast formed through refining Vampire Bats and spiders, he passed down an order in a low voice.
Ordinary wild spiders and Vampire Bats were second level Magical Beasts, or even first level Magical Beasts. They were at the lowest layer of Magical Beasts’ food chain, and even though a large number of them existed, their power was disappointing.


The mutant Magical Beasts formed through refining ten spiders and twenty Vampire Bats possessed high speed, as well as the ability to fight in the air and on the ground, and they weren’t any weaker than ordinary fourth level Magical Beasts. This was why Yang Ling was full of expectations for them and raised the number of spiders and Vampire Bats used by twenty-fold, while he still added Ancient Agarwood to them. What kind of Magical Beast would be made?
Ancient Agarwood?
When Augustus saw the Ancient Agarwood that Yang Ling passed to him, his body shivered. In the Orc Empire, Ancient Agarwood was a treasure that existed only in legends, and it was a treasure that the Orc King and Beast Soul Priests yearned for.
According to the legend, the Beast Soul Priest Lhasaer depended upon a small piece of Ancient Agarwood to make several Golden Behemoth mutate, and he didn’t just manage to increase their growth speed, he also gave them Orge’s Bloodthirsty Frenzy Gift. Their fighting prowess rose drastically, and they managed to defeat the Dragon Knight in the great war. They had protected Orcs’ homeland!
For the past innumerable years, the Orc Empire used all means possible and made an all-out effort to search for Ancient Agarwood, yet it had only gotten a small piece as big as a finger, while the Ancient Agarwood in Yang Ling’s hands was longer than an average magic staff.
After Augustus received the Ancient Agarwood and felt its intense energy, he became wild with joy, and he started taking actions quickly. The Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and the others were in charge of capturing wild spiders and Vampire Bats, while Augustus carefully cut a small and thin piece of agarwood.
After everything was ready, Augustus started muttering excitedly, while black mist quickly rose atop the altar once again, and an intense chaotic battle occurred between the spiders and Vampire Bats. The altar started to calm down only after a whole hour passed.
Roar!
A spider as big as a calf started roaring before the black mist dissipated, and it rushed out quickly. The spider had nine eyes that formed three pairs, as well as thick and sturdy legs, brown stripes, and a red furry belly, while its leg had white and gray stripes. It seemed like a great Red-haired Tarantula, but three-meter-long bat wings were growing out of its back. It could fly for more than ten feet with every wave of its wings. Its speed wasn’t any lower than the Tarantula King that was also a flying spider.

Seylius, test this creature’s power,
after Yang Ling observed the malevolent-looking mutant spider, he passed down an order in a low voice.



Understood!

After the Flying Dragon King Seylius received the command, he rushed out, and as a swooshing sound echoed, he turned into a giant Twin-legged Flying Dragon. He was a ninth level Magical Beast that would shortly advance into the next level, and he could instinctively detect how terrifying the mutant spider was. He used his strongest attack without the least bit of hesitation.
Roar!
The mutant spider that faced the powerful Flying Dragon King Seylius was fearless, and it spread its wings, while it roared loudly. It started an intense confrontation against Seylius. The mutant spider wasn’t able to fly in high altitude, but its flying speed wasn’t any lower than Seylius, while its shining venomous fangs’ deadly liquid prevented its opponent from overwhelming it quickly.
It was a ninth level Magical Beast, and it possessed at least the power of a middle-stage ninth level Magical Beast.
Yang Ling that witnessed the great battle of Seylius and the mutant spider was overjoyed. He assumed that the mutant spider’s power would be at most on a par with a seventh level Magical Beast, yet it had unexpectedly evolved from a second level low-level Magical Beast into a powerful ninth level Magical Beast. It seemed like the Ancient Agarwood deserved its fame, and it helped the mutant spider absorb most of the Power Essence of the spiders and Vampire Bats.

Hehe, Seylius, let me try it.
When the combative Dark Dragon King saw the mutant spider’s sharp attacks, he shouted loudly, before he turned into a giant dragon. As a swooshing sound echoed, he pounced at the mutant spider and thrust his sharp claw toward the mutant spider’s belly. He managed to instantly tear apart a large piece of its flesh and left a hideous wound on its body.
Roar!
The mutant spider felt acute pain, and it sprayed a mouthful of dense venom. But, the Dark Dragon King quickly soared into the sky, and dodged the mutant spider’s attack, before he swooped down quickly from a high altitude and thrust his claws once again at the mutant spider. He managed to hit the mutant spider’s wound accurately.
…


The mutant spider’s power was beyond the crowd’s expectations, but it was still weaker than the Level Surpassing Dark Dragon King. Even if the Dark Dragon King didn’t use his Draconic Domain, the mutant spider still wasn’t a match for him. After a short while, the mutant spider’s body ended up covered with cuts and all kinds of injuries, and it became drenched with blood!

Hehe, not bad. Augustus, carry on with it,
after Yang Ling tamed the mutant spider that was covered with wounds, he instructed Augustus to continue refining Magical Beasts, and after several tries, the Ancient Agarwood’s high value was confirmed.
If they used the same number of spiders and Vampire Bats with a little piece of agarwood, then there was a sixty percent chance that a ninth level mutant spider would be made. But, if they didn’t use agarwood, the success rate would drop down to ten percent, and even if they succeeded, the mutant spider’s power would be at the sixth level, and it wasn’t any stronger than a Violent Earth Bear.
They continued capturing a large number of spiders and Vampire Bats, and they made ten flying spiders before they stopped. They had stopped because Yang Ling was afraid that excessive hunting would affect the food chain of the Magical Beast’s base that was formed recently.
Yang Ling looked at Terras Forest and Amazon Forest outside and asked the Corpse Wizard King to pass down an order to Goode. He asked him to put a large number of missions for Magical Beasts’ capture in the Hunter Guild, and he offered a large sum for the capture of middle-level and high-level Magical Beasts such as the Violent Earth Bear, Lightning Birds, and others. However, if someone managed to capture a ninth level Magical Beast, then he would take it because that was what he wanted the most.
According to the agreement with Elder Klive, the attack against the Church’s Iron Edge Castle would start in ten days, and he must use the time left to strengthen the Magical Beast Army. The Beast Soul Altar showed exceptional results, but he still didn’t dare to make the Dark Dragon King, Purple Rat Little Ice, and the others take any risks because he still didn’t grasp and understand the altar’s crucial patterns and rules.
This was why Yang Ling could only capture wild Magical Beasts in the forest, and he issued missions to mobilize a large number of hunters. This was the best way for capturing a large number of Magical Beasts in a short time. In any case, Yang Ling had already gotten the wealth accumulated by several generations of Pharaohs, and he had million Purple Crystal Coins. The money spent was just a drop in the ocean in comparison to Yang Ling’s wealth. He could easily spend a large sum to acquire a large number of Magical Beasts, and such a matter wouldn’t put any great toil on his domain.

Your Lordship, can you come up with a good way to craft all kinds of special armor and weapons for the Magical Beasts, and raise the Magical Beast Army’s fighting prowess.
After the Shadow Wizard Winnink went up the stage and tested the flying spiders’ power personally, he raised a suggestion to Yang Ling.
Winnink was the most outstanding commander in Thebes Empire ‘s history, and his knowledge about military affairs was greater than average, while he still had keen observation power. Yang Ling was focused on taming more powerful Magical Beasts, while Winnink quickly came up with a more effective way that enlightened Yang Ling.

It’s good, pretty good.
After Yang Ling pondered over it for a moment, he praised Winnink’s suggestion, before he said,
Winnink, pass down instructions to the Military Factory on our domain, and order them to make weapons and armor for all species of Magical Beasts. We must equip them before we set off. You should consult Master Aaron and the Gnome Elder for specific details, and you have total authority to handle this matter as you see fit.



The Magical Beast Realm possessed rich resources that included a large amount of good iron ore, as well as enough money and smiths. This was why the military factory’s scale became greater, and its manpower went from its former dozen people to more than a thousand people. They weren’t just making weapons to equip the domain’s army. They were still selling some of them through Harribell’s Boulade Merchant Association and their domain’s Wissen Merchant Association. They made great profits!
If powerful Magical Beasts were equipped with sharp weapons and firm armor, what level would their fighting prowess reach?
As Yang Ling observed the ten flying spiders in the air, he became full of expectations of the power they would reveal after they were equipped with special weapons and armor. Yang Ling had a large number of hunters, as well as many competent and skilled workers and rich resources, and he could now construct the greatest Magical Beast factory in the continent.
While Yang Ling snatched time to gather Magical Beasts and made plans for building a Magical Beast military factory, in the Holy City several tens of thousands of miles from him, the lofty and aloof Pope furrowed his brow. He said,
Powell, are you sure that Fabris had already betrayed the Church?


Your Majesty, I have seen that traitor Fabris with my own eyes, and if he didn’t release the Knife Domain at the last moment to restrict our movements, I wouldn’t have to pierce my heart to stimulate my potential and escape. If he didn’t use the Knife Domain, the few Strength Angels wouldn’t have all failed to escape.
Powell’s eyes turned bloodshot as he recalled the Divine Domain’s wave of pressure that prevented him from moving easily, as well as Yang Ling that seized the chance to break his few subordinates’ necks.
There was a large distance between Jaboli and the Holy City, and this was why Powell had to use a Teleportation Scroll to teleport to the nearest church adjacent to Jaboli. He didn’t have enough time to treat his injuries carefully, and he was quickly escorted by a group of Guardian Knights and Spellcasters to the Holy City before he reported such shocking information to the pope and Elder Wilbur.

Your Majesty, I think that we must cease all operations against the Magical Beast Realm for now, and we must strengthen the defense of the churches in the southern region so that they wouldn’t succumb to Yang Ling’s attacks.
The black-robed Wilbur wore a gloomy expression. He got a restless feeling since the moment he received such news.
Powell was an angel that descended into this plane, and he surely wouldn’t lie to the pope, which meant that the family backing Yang Ling was surely outstanding, and they had managed to entice Fabris and force him into betraying the Church. This meant that Yang Ling hid great power beyond people’s imaginations, and the Church had probably made a very powerful enemy inadvertently.
