After Shifeng finished speaking, Senior Administrator Lorrain nodded and went to retrieve the Knight Division's information.
A short moment later, Senior Administrator Lorrain returned with a thick list of names on the stone table.
"So many?" Shifeng could not help his surprise when he saw the thick list on the table.
The last time he had visited Stone Forest, Administrator Lorrain had only presented him with a list. This time, however, she had presented him with a book.
Although players could record all sorts of information on a piece of paper in God's Domain, the number of pages would reflect the difference in the number of Knight Divisions to a certain extent.
If the number of Knight Divisions was below 30,000, the list would only be used if the number of Knight Divisions was in the tens of thousands. Only when the number of Knight Divisions exceeded 100,000 would the list be used.
Previously, Zero Wing had already begun to recruit players from various NPC cities, and it was no exaggeration to say that it had already recruited nearly all of the players it could. It would be a miracle if it could recruit another 50,000 or 60,000 players, yet now, it had recruited over 100,000 players …
"Lord Bronze Legatee, there weren't many applicants before. However, due to the sudden appearance of players from other races in Stone Forest City, the number of applicants has increased," Lorrain explained.
"It's taking effect so quickly?" Shifeng was a little surprised to hear this.
He had assumed that it would take a few days for the title to take effect. After all, Stone Forest City had only recently been promoted. With the Freedom City title's effects, it shouldn't have taken so long.
However, it would seem that he had underestimated the Freedom City title's effects.
"Currently, a total of 112672 people have applied for the Knight position. Among them, 83241 are humans, 27412 are Orcs, 1,836 are Elves, and 183 are Giants. These are the details of all the applicants who have applied for the position during the past few days," Lorraine explained slowly, not understanding Shi Feng's muttering.
"Almost 30,000 Knights from other races? If the various superpowers of my previous life knew about this, they would've gone crazy." Shifeng could not help his excitement when he heard Lorrain's report.
In God's Domain, it was very difficult to recruit Knights from other races. After all, the population of other races was much smaller than that of humans. Normally, the various superpowers would be overjoyed if they could recruit several thousand Knights.
This time, they had recruited nearly 30,000 NPCs of other races. This was a frightening number. Even a 2-star Lord wouldn't necessarily have so many NPCs of other races.
Most importantly, even the rare Elves and Giants had applied. Moreover, they had recruited a large number of Knights. This situation had completely exceeded his expectations.
In God's Domain, the Orc race's population was second only to the human race. Normally, almost all of the NPCs recruited from other races were Orcs.
Of course, this didn't mean that Beastman Knights weren't strong. On the contrary, Beastman NPCs were very powerful. They were natural-born warriors. Their five senses and physiques were far superior to those of the human race. Aside from human Heroes blessed by God, other human Warriors of the same level were no match for Beastman Knights.
The reason why Orcs were so far away from the continent of God's Domain and weren't a match for humans was due to humans' learning and creativity. This was why Orcs had been forced to live in relatively desolate regions of God's Domain.
If they could form a melee army with the Orcs, they would be unstoppable on the battlefield.
Following which, Shifeng opened the recruitment list Lorrain had given him and began to read through it.
He had planned to recruit some Knights with high Growth Potential to replace some of the Knight Division's less promising members, but it seemed that he still needed to do a lot of things.
Time flew by, second after second. Shifeng spent over 20 hours reading through the list. He was even more serious than when he was fighting a Boss.
"Fortunately, I brought a lot of Coins. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have enough for my severance pay." Shifeng smiled bitterly when he finished reading the list.
If it were just as he had thought, it wouldn't be a big deal to replace some of the Knight Division's members. However, recruiting NPCs of other races was different.
They were bound for life.
In other words, once they recruited NPCs of other races, they couldn't be replaced. Hence, he had to be very careful when recruiting NPCs of other races. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to recruit NPCs of other races.
Of course, this wasn't without benefits. Recruiting NPCs of the same level would cost around 30% less. Overall, he wouldn't suffer a loss.
Moreover, NPCs of other races were generally quite talented. Over half of them had reached Bronze rank. This was also why the various major powers loved to recruit NPCs of other races.
Among the 27412 Orcs, there were 15123 Bronze Tier 2 Knights. This was an unimaginable number for human NPCs, but to the Orcs, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Moreover, the Orc NPCs recruited this time were of excellent quality. Not only were there Tier 2 Knights, but there were even Tier 3 Knights. Moreover, these NPCs had relatively high Growth Potential. The weakest among them was Mysterious-Iron rank. There were also 45 Secret-Silver and one Fine-Gold Tier 3 Knight.
Aside from the Orcs, the Elves and Giants were just as frightening.
The Elves were the darlings of Mana, and they were natural-born mages. Their Growth Potential was even higher than that of other races. Even the weakest among them was Bronze rank, while 43 Elven Knights had Secret-Silver Growth Potential. Two Elven Knights had Fine-Gold Growth Potential, and both were Tier 3 players.
Although the Giants had the fewest members, 14 of them were Tier 3 Secret-Silver Knights and one Fine-Gold Knight among the 183 Giants.
There were over 100 human knights with potential above secret-silver level, which was more than two times more than the number of human knights with potential above secret-silver level. Plus the number of human knights with potential above secret-silver level in the previous knight corps, the number of human knights with potential above secret-silver level was much greater.
"Lord Bronze Legatee, have you made your decision?" Lorrain asked when she saw Shifeng close the book.
"Mhm. I want all the Knights with Growth Potential or higher. At the same time, I want the Mysterious-Iron Knights with higher Growth Potential. As for the Tier 3 Knights, I want all of them as well," Shifeng said, nodding.
Normally, NPC Knights that reached Tier 3 would be Mysterious-Iron rank at the very least. Meanwhile, Tier 3 NPCs would be considerably powerful combatants in the future. After all, very few Tier 4 experts had reached Tier 4 in God's Domain. Moreover, even Tier 4 NPCs wouldn't have an easy time against a group of Tier 3 NPCs protected by magic arrays in a city. If a large number of Tier 3 NPCs formed a battle array, they might even be able to kill Tier 4 players.
This was also why Tier 4 NPCs could only flaunt their prowess in the fields, despite being powerful existences.
"Alright. You'll need 152 Secret-Silver Knights and 326 Tier 3 Knights. Including the 1,872 Tier 2 Mysterious-Iron Knights with high Potential, as well as the severance fee for some of the Knight Legion's members, you'll need to pay a total of 554600 Gold Coins," Lorrain said after making some calculations.
"Right, there's also the Promotion Fee for the 437 Knights." After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng said, "In addition, I also need to replace all the Tier 3 Knights with Epic Equipment. How much will that cost?"
"I'm afraid that's going to cost a lot. If you include the replacement of all the Tier 3 Knights with Epic Equipment, the total will be 5,640,000 Gold. After factoring in the 554600 Gold and the Promotion Fee, the total will be 6198970 Gold," Lorrain said as she looked at Shifeng.
"Uh …" After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng said, "Let's reduce it a little, then. I'll take 1,150 sets for now."
"That won't be a problem. That'll be 5158970 Gold in total. Once you've paid, we'll deliver the goods in two or three hours. The newly recruited Knights will also gather in the City Lord's Mansion within one hour," Lorrain said calmly, nodding.
After hearing Lorrain's words, Shifeng handed over nearly all the Gold he had in his bag. In the blink of an eye, he had become a pauper once more.
Nurturing a Knight Division really is expensive. It's no wonder why the various superpowers that had Knight Divisions in the past were so poor. Shifeng could not help but smile bitterly as he looked at the less than 3,000 Gold in his bag.
While Shifeng dealt with the Knight Division, a group of magical class players in black robes were chanting an incantation in a remote canyon in the distant Cold Spring Forest. The magic array had a 200-yard radius, and a handsome, expressionless youth stood in the center of the array. He held a pitch-black crystal in his hand and continuously drew divine runes on it.
As the handsome youth continued to draw divine runes on the crystal, the crystal in his hand began to dissipate.
Just as the pitch-black crystal was about to dissipate completely, the handsome young man finished drawing the last shining, pitch-black divine rune.
Suddenly, the sky split open, and a gigantic set of doors descended. The doors were over a hundred meters tall and covered in ancient divine runes. The aura they radiated made everyone present shudder involuntarily.
As the gigantic doors descended, the doors began to open.
"Good! It's done! " The handsome youth said to the middle-aged man beside him. "Heart, go inside and notify the various powers that the doors are open. It's up to them whether they want to cherish this opportunity or not."
"Understood!"
Furious Heart was very respectful to the young man's order. He then led the people into the gate.
