Chapter 1072: Esoteric Rebel Army, Rapidly Advancing Calamity Team_2

Dealing with Svein, a mere Silver Middle Rank with extremely low soul resistance among the Storm Demon, is naturally an easy task.

Fang Zhou’s every casting can completely control Svein for three days, and this subtle influence doesn’t affect Svein’s inherent logical thinking, leaving no flaws on the surface.

This is enough for the Calamity Special Operations Team to leverage Svein’s Storm Secret Cult to complete the shell listing operation.

Under Fang Zhou’s manipulation, Svein immediately ordered all members of the Storm Secret Cult not to show any disrespect towards Fang Zhou and his companions.

After establishing an “ally” relationship with the Storm Secret Cult successfully, according to Fang Zhou’s arrangement, in order to avoid attracting notice, the six hundred warriors of the Calamity Special Operations Team were divided into two batches to begin rotating stationed within Svein’s Storm Secret Cult.

Although they removed their military armor, the fierce aura from the battlefield of the Calamity Special Operations Team warriors could not be concealed.

Svein was again amazed, seeing a neat lineup of six hundred professionals, all above Bronze level.

This kind of power isn’t necessarily possessed by some Upper Rank Demon Descendant nobles!

Once he reacted, Svein became even more attentive when interacting with the Calamity Special Operations Team.

For over a month, with the Storm Secret Cult taking the lead, the cooperation of the Calamity Special Operations Team assisted in cleanly annexing six small-scale Esoteric Rebel Armies around the Storm Secret Cult.

The Storm Secret Cult quickly expanded from initially a small army of two hundred to a medium-sized army of over a thousand.

After sweeping through the strongholds of six Esoteric Rebel Armies, the resources obtained by the Calamity Special Operations Team weren’t as rich as imagined.

High-tier resources are luxury items controlled by Demon Descendant nobles.

These small-scale Esoteric Rebel Armies generally only rob villages and small transport teams, naturally only obtaining middle and low-tier quality resources.

This is considered fortunate for Fang Zhou and his team.

Recently, the situation in the Calamity Sun Demon Country has been unstable, and the resources plundered by various Esoteric Rebel Armies temporarily couldn’t be sold, accumulating together, thus resulting in such gains.

Although most resources obtained are middle and low-tier, not much use to Fang Zhou, they are a great aid to the warriors of the Calamity Special Operations Team, just a little absorption can equate to nearly a month of cultivation.

This speed is obviously helpful to the warriors.

The battle qi required for the promotion of low-tier professionals is naturally less than that of high-tier ones, and some Bronze Lower Rank warriors have become Bronze Middle Rank warriors through resource absorption.

Pleasantly, several warriors who had reached the Bronze Limit successfully advanced to Silver Lower Rank, noticeably strengthening the Calamity Special Operations Team.

Having tasted the sweetness of resources, the warriors of the Calamity Special Operations Team have become almost obsessed with cultivation resources.

Now, don’t mention the word “resource” in front of the Calamity Special Operations Team members.

Once the topic involves resources, the enthusiasm in their eyes is enough to melt gold and iron.

After each battle, the thoroughness with which the warriors of the Calamity Special Operations Team scour the spoils of war makes even Svein and his demon bandits ashamed.

As an ally, Svein proactively offers all of his resources, although with an intent to win favor and curry favor, it’s not excluded that Svein is worried this so-called “ally” might turn on him in a frenzy.

Everyone in the Calamity Special Operations Team is fighting for their own strength enhancement.

As their leader, Fang Zhou also has been digesting the golden resources gifted by Major General Ning Danxin thanks to the help of a large amount of soul power provided by his clone.

Until now, he has successfully mastered the 5th professional specialty [Abyssal Enemy], greatly enhancing his killing power against Demons, Demon Worshipers, Demon Descendants, and Demon Servants from abyss forces.

Furthermore, he also consumed a bottle of Spirit Attribute Secret Medicine, with his Spirit Main Attribute nearing 50,000 points, just one step from Golden Middle Rank.

Simultaneously, by leveraging the golden tier undead mage spells provided by Major General Ning Danxin and the numerous golden tier undead spells acquired by his clone from transactions in Tusk City, Fang Zhou has enhanced his originally silver-tier summoning, skeleton, corrosive poison, soul, and flesh and blood skills to golden tier.

He personally manufactured golden lower rank artificial undeads, such as Six-armed Snake Demon Warrior, Dragon Bone Hatred Warrior, Blood Spirit Mage Ryze, Blood Spirit Assassin Catherine, all also enhanced.

Now Fang Zhou thoroughly possesses the basic combat power of a golden lower rank undead mage, which somewhat satisfies him.

The current deficiency is Fang Zhou’s complete lack of suitable equipment.

To date, Fang Zhou only has a Berserker Heroic Spirit Mark, a purple excellence-grade marvel.

All other equipment and marvels are only of blue fine quality.

Especially the magic staff most important for Fang Zhou to cast golden-tier undead spells is still only a blue fine quality Frost Skeleton Magic Staff.

These hardware materials have long fallen behind Fang Zhou’s current strength growth.

To obtain purple excellence-grade equipment or marvels matching Fang Zhou’s strength would require crafting them himself, trading with others, or simply robbing.

However, as Fang Zhou is now in enemy territory, acquiring knowledge in expert-level forging or alchemy, as well as necessary high-tier materials, is out of reach.

Perhaps the only way is to raid the major resource points of the Calamity Sun Demon Country and see if there’s any surprise to be had.

In addition to enhancing his own strength, Fang Zhou hasn’t forgotten his two spirit pets, Death Elf Vigus and Black Gem Young Dragon Tiamat.

Until now, these two spirit pets of Silver Upper Rank have fallen behind Fang Zhou’s growth in strength, somewhat outdated.

The pie of Fang Zhou’s strength lacks the several major pieces of equipment marvels and spirit pets, making it less complete.

These difficulties can’t be solved for now, so Fang Zhou doesn’t stubbornly follow one path, instead focusing the remaining energy on the development and enhancement of the Dimensional Mount, a golden-tier universal skill for magic professionals.

Already significant results have emerged.

This skill might aid the warrior’s strength enhancement and the upcoming march plans for the Calamity Special Operations Team.

……….

“Captain!”

In the temporary camp of the Storm Secret Cult, Fang Zhou walked out of his tent.

The guards of the Calamity Special Operations Team shouted in unison.

Fang Zhou nodded to them.

Since gaining a large amount of plundered cultivation resources, the Calamity Special Operations Team warriors have made rapid progress in battle qi cultivation.

In just a month and a half, already five or six dozen warriors have successfully advanced.

The higher the tier of the profession, the lesser the effect of resource absorption, seeing the soldiers under him rushing forward crazily, the pressure for the few captains in the Calamity Special Operations Team has increased dramatically.

Now competition has formed within the troop, and the captains seize every moment, hiding in their tents to cultivate battle qi whenever they have time.

Glancing at Leng Feng to the left, Fang Zhou suddenly said with a smile, “Leng Feng, last time breaking through from the Dark Jungle, you successfully advanced to Golden Rank.

These days your strength has risen again, are you interested in trying another match against my summoned creatures?”

Upon hearing Fang Zhou’s suggestion, Leng Feng’s eyes lit up.

Previously, when the Calamity Special Operations Team was stationed at Hell Pit Fortress, sparring with Fang Zhou’s artificial undead was Leng Feng’s favorite activity.

Blessed with divine power and high-tier professional rank, wielding heavy weapons.

Within the Calamity Special Operations Team, there was no one who could challenge him.

The combat skills of professionals are honed through fighting.

Each warrior in the Calamity Special Operations Team has a similarly matched opponent to spar with and progress together.

Only Leng Feng was often restrained during sparring, worried about using too much force and injuring his comrades.

Such sparring naturally yielded little for him.

Leng Feng’s distress was resolved when Fang Zhou summoned Blood Spirit Warriors to accompany him for trials.

Fang Zhou’s Blood Spirit Warriors focused on strength and defense.

Moreover, their attack styles were mostly direct confrontations, lacking techniques or evasive maneuvers.

Such opponents were exactly what Leng Feng favored.

Also, the Blood Spirit Warriors’ ranks were high, and after their demise, Fang Zhou could summon them again, allowing Leng Feng to fight without restraint, experiencing thorough satisfaction each time.

“Sure, Captain!”

Leng Feng laughed heartily, impatiently unbuckling his greatsword to wield it.

After infiltrating behind the lines of the Calamity Sun Demon Country, it’s been a long time since he experienced that exhilarating feeling.

Seeing him answer so leisurely, Fang Zhou gave him a meaningful glance and smiled, “Rest assured, it’ll be satisfying!”

Witnessing the high spirits of the pair, Zhuo Yue quickly went to prepare a venue for them.

Hearing that Captain Leng Feng will spar against Captain Fang Zhou’s undead servant, the warriors of the Calamity Special Operations Team became very excited, quickly clearing a field with a diameter of tens of meters.
