Chapter 989: Chapter 27: Scouring Their Lairs

Indeed, he was a Beastman Warrior.

Duncan hadn’t met a warrior in years who dared to directly face his lance charge.

So it was no surprise that Bonebreaker Gorke was instantly killed by Duncan with one move. With his current strength, combined with the charge of his divine horse and wielding the holy lance of the Wealth Church, the enemy had no chance of withstanding it.

Even at the moment of his death, Bonebreaker Gorke’s expression was filled with disbelief. This was simply an incomprehensible barbaric power for a human to possess.

Beastmen are brave but clumsy, their moves are wide and full of openings, and they lack agility and coordination.

Therefore, most Beastman Commanders use heavy weapons with a wide attack range to compensate for their lack of agility.

"Is this power really enough to trouble the Comer Kingdom so much?"

"It seems that the human nations of the Ferren realm are indeed quite weak."

Duncan had just evaluated that even in the Root World, a standard Gaulish Oath Warriors Battle Group might be able to take down this Beastman Commander. As for battles involving thousands, with the empire’s crossbows, their bulky figures could be shot down in a hail of arrows.

"The gap between top-level power and grassroots power is just too wide."

"There is a ceiling, but no widespread ability to reach it."

Duncan withdrew his holy seal lance and commanded the knights of the Golden Legion to start dividing the surrounding Beastman warriors. He aimed at a distant giant, and with a long spear throw, pierced its skull.

However, the giant did not die. He then activated one of the rare divine techniques of the Paladin lineage, using flames to burn and kill the giant before him.

A flicker of barely visible light merged into his body.

A familiar ability.

It was ’Regeneration.’

At the same time, Duncan also acquired the Frenzy ability of the Beastman Commander. But unlike the barbarians of this world, the Frenzy of the Beastmen was more about enhancing damage bursts, without significantly activating potential to greatly improve the strength attribute.

"Clean up the battlefield."

With Duncan’s order, the other warriors around began to clean up the battlefield, and some even set fire to the Beastman’s stronghold.

Sharella walked swiftly to Duncan, looking up at the man before her. Her golden-blonde hair gleamed in the setting sun, her eyes sparkling with a rare brilliance. She stepped forward and raised a silver water flask, speaking softly: "Clean yourself up a bit."

Duncan nodded calmly; Beastman blood had a terrible stench. He quickly cleaned himself with the assistance of the joy servants.

Sharella had seen Duncan fight before, but facing the Pain Faction Lord Malasys, many others were also attacking, and the battle was over too quickly for her to see clearly.

But today, she truly witnessed how Duncan easily vanquished a ferocious Beastman Commander.

Bonebreaker Gorke had a legend in this desert. It was even rumored to have killed a giant, as someone found a giant’s skull while cleaning the battlefield.

Yet such a powerful being couldn’t even withstand a single move from Duncan.

"Still need to kill more legendary warriors to noticeably improve physical quality." Duncan looked at his gains with satisfaction.

——Legendary Robustness LV1 [Legendary Feat]: Your physique surpasses mortal limits, permanently increasing your life limit by 30 points, stacking up to ten times.

Beastmen are tough-skinned and thick-skinned.

Duncan acquired a relatively common Legendary Ability, and with this ability, warriors in the later stages could rival the life force of a giant dragon.

"Lord Duncan."

Adam approached on foot from a distance with a respectful expression and said, "The spoils have been collected."

This man is too powerful!

If Duncan could instantly kill a Beastman Commander with one lance charge, he could most likely do the same to him.

Duncan put down the water flask in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Count the spoils and distribute them to all the soldiers who participated in the battle once we return."

This is the system of the Empire army.

When Duncan commanded the Empire army, it wasn’t that they couldn’t plunder, but they couldn’t plunder at will. If soldiers robbed on their own, it was a capital offense, but if they plundered on the command of the legion leader, then it was considered an achievement.

All acquired spoils belonged to the legion, and were distributed later based on merit and rank, from top to bottom, ensuring everyone received a share.

This is an iron rule that cannot be broken.

It is also the key to the Empire army’s powerful combat capabilities and serves as the foundation for their discipline and obedience.

As long as they avoid indiscriminate plundering of spoils, the discipline of the legion will not falter.

For the legion leader, it’s also a means to establish trust and credibility—distribution of spoils penetrates deep into the grassroots. Without clear rewards and penalties, it’s difficult for a legion leader to achieve anything.

"Understood," Adam replied respectfully.

Before long.

Cheers arose from soldiers and adventurers nearby, with some even praising ’Lord Duncan-Starfall.’

Duncan would also take a share.

But his share would most likely be rewarded to the knights of the Golden Legion or the members of the Joyous Church because he had no lack of money. If he ever did, he could just go back and push the Mother of Great Bliss, and she would burst with gold coins.

Sharella stood by, gazing at Duncan’s chiseled profile. With just one battle, this man had already secured the allegiance of the soldiers.

The Purple Dragon Knight Order might still need some work since it belongs to the Comer Kingdom’s army. But here in Tivendon, she was even confident of directly taking control of Adam’s local forces with Duncan’s support.
