Chapter 623 Madness
After a couple of hours, the entire Thol city once again assembled at the main square, some of the demons to spectate and some to actually take part in the rift battle.
The entire place was in an uproar with hushed murmurs and whispers spreading like wildfire. The morale was at an all-time low and the high spirits of the first battle were nowhere to be seen.
Everyone looked nervous and unsure of how things were going to go. Liam smiled as he observed this and walked over, but he did not give any rousing or morale-boosting speech.
Instead, he calmly waved at Hiriyu, and the demon and a couple of others brought over three sacks, making clinking noises. When they opened the sacks, they saw that the inside was full of glass bottles, more specifically potion bottles!
The demons' eyes went wide like saucers. Potions in general were considered luxury items available only for the privileged few. But here their garrison leader was distributing these as if they were meat jerky.
Liam did not stop with that. He also asked everyone to switch out their gear and change into better items. Every rift battle came along with a huge loot and he did not hold back and invested this loot to improve everyone's gear.
All the demons were instantly overjoyed. With these many abundant resources suddenly it made sense for everyone to participate in a rift battle again.
"Damn, I mistook our leader. Maybe it was an order from the King."
"Yes, Yes. Our leader wouldn't do this without any reason. We need to give it our all and win this fight! Hiyaaaa!"
The spirits that were down just a few seconds ago were quickly coming back up to full gear. Liam chuckled and signaled Hiriyu to start the rift battle.
Mayhem ensued as once again the guild in the opposition was completely destroyed. Level 30 demons equipped with rage potions and health potions were not easy to handle and Liam's level was once again not nerfed.
Him being almost ten levels above everyone else and with his already enhanced stats that were head and shoulders above the average player base, the opposition was utterly demolished and the battle once again swiftly ended without any surprises.
The demons were utterly dumbfounded. The battle this time had gone even more smoothly than the previous time when there had been more soldiers.
What was happening? Since when were rift battles this easy?
As everyone was teleported back to Thol city after the successful raid, all the demons gaped at their leader in awe. No, it was not the rift battle that was easy. Their leader was simply too fearsome.
The entire city rejoiced and once again began their celebrations. This time they were letting loose even harder because in the history of their world no other garrison had ever managed to achieve such a feat.
Two rift battles back to back and astounding victories in both? This was a first!
Liam watched everyone jumping around and silently called Hiriyu with a casual expression. "My Lord…" The demon for some reason had a bad feeling. It couldn't possibly be, right?
However, Liam smiled and casually spoke the words the demon dreaded. "Tell everyone to once again be ready in three hours. We will be running another rift battle."
Hiriyu was utterly speechless. Yessika who was standing behind him had a similarly stunned expression. She had walked over to the city lord to offer herself again but hearing this she was shocked to the core.
Another rift battle? They were going to run back to back three rift battles? This was no longer impressive. It was simply insane.
Liam smiled helplessly. He very well understood their thoughts but he was in a time crunch so he had to break a few eggs here and there. He looked at Yessika as if he just had an idea and called the dark elf over, "Good, you are here. I need you. Come." He then quickly walked to the private room.
The elf gulped and followed. She was happy to serve the city lord however he wanted but the guy was clearly a beast and she did not have any experience in these matters. So she couldn't help but become nervous.
She clutched her robe and walked into the private room when she again received another shock. Inside the room, there was a total of six cauldrons lined up in order. All of them were filled to the brim and all of them were lit!
"Don't just stand there. Come forward and follow my instructions carefully."
The dark elf blinked her almond eyes and stood in a daze. Only when one of the cauldrons hissed loudly, she snapped out of her trance and got to work.
Liam once again started to prepare a new set of potions becoming very busy. However, this time he also took out some of the body cleansing elixirs he had prepared earlier.
He had only given some to Mia for their guild's use. He had saved the rest in case he needed them in the future for some sort of quick exchange but now seemed to be as good as any time.
He called over the rest of his wives and handed over the potions to three among the nine of them giving a significant boost to their strength. He also called over his personal unit and two of the platoon leaders he was familiar with and distributed five more potions. This left him with only five more potions which he saved for later use.
"Alright. Now we are ready. Let's start the next round." Liam grinned.
His level 55 bar was almost full. One more attempt and he would reach Level 56!
"Damn. This is too sweet. I am cruising through right now." Giving a glance at Luna who was resting, he returned to the city square along with the others to once again start the show.
Madness descended on Thol city as all the demons cheered loudly for their lunatic garrison leader!
