My Cultivation System

Chapter 232 - Commander Henrick

'Swoosh'

'Kacha'

'Demon stare'

'Demon claw'

'Puchi'

Henrick didn't use his rank 4 spear, he only used his two skills to kill the bug warriors.

However, Demon strength and Endurace are the passive skills that help him a lot in withstanding the attacks and pain.

'Phew...'

Finally, after an hour, the 10000 bug warriors were killed without a single casualty from the humans' side making them greatly excited.

Even though there were no casualties, more than 300 men were seriously injured and 500 were lightly injured.

If there was another invasion similar to the earlier one, they would be wiped out before they would realize what was happening.

As for Master Valen, he was still fighting the two master realm bug warriors.

'Looks like the fight will be over within a short while.'

After watching the fight in the sky for a few moments, Henrick could easily come to a conclusion that the fight would not last for much longer because the bug warriors' strength was greatly suppressed and they were yet to get used to their reduced strength.

'Let's see how many crude souls and the reputation points I got from killing these bugs.'

While everyone was watching the fight in the sky, Henrick saw the complete kill history in the inbox.

'Ding,

          Kill 1000 bug warriors.

'Ding,

        Gained 500 x 3 crude souls (rank 2 bug warriors)

        Gained 300 x 5 crude souls (rank 3 bug warriors)

        Gained 200 x 10 crude souls (rank 4 bug warriors)

'Ding,

        Total crude souls in the account:- 38285.

'Ding,

        Gained 1000 reputation points plus 100 reputation points bonus for killing 1000 bug warriors.

'Ding,

          Total reputation points:- 2131.

'Waoh'

Within just one hour, he got 5000 crude souls along with 1100+ reputation points. Seeing at all the values, Henrick felt that he could try to collect 100000 crude souls to buy his right hand back.

'With the 10 percent discount on any purchase from the soul store, I can buy the hand at 90000 crude souls. So, I still need 52k crude souls.'

Henrick calculated the crude souls and remembered the required crude souls to buy his hands. 

"Just die already."

'Puchi'.

'Thud'

Finally, with a loud shout, Master Valen had killed one bug warrior who fell to the ground.

Soon, after that, the other bug was killed within a few seconds.

"Yey...finally we won."

"We successfully defended our city."

"It's time to celebrate."

After the leaders of the bug warriors were killed, all the soldiers started celebrating with excited voices; however, Master Valen's face still looked serious.

"Everyone stop feeling excited."

All of a sudden, Master Valen's loud voice resounded in the surroundings and everyone stopped shouting as Master Valen continued, "This is not over yet. The invasion was not only on our city but it is on the entire world."

After hearing Master Valen's words, no one dared to speak.

"So, even after hearing all these, if you want to celebrate our victory, you can celebrate."

After finishing his words, the middle-aged man Valen landed in front of Henrick.

"Hello, young warrior."

Without bothering about his silent soldiers, Master Valen spoke to Henrick, "Even though I was fighting those bug leaders, I kept an eye on you and the battle spirit you have shown on the battlefield is excellent." 

While Maser Valen was speaking, all the soldiers were looking at Henrick with respectful looks on their faces because they knew how bravely Henrick had fought in the earlier battle.

"You killed more than 1000 bug warriors and therefore I will confer you the title of the commander."

Master Valen directly conferred a title to Henrick and informed him while pointing at a soldier who was heavily injured, "You can take over his place."

There were 10 commanders under Master Valen and each one of them had 100 soldiers to command.

However, one of the commanders was heavily injured and his place was given to Henrick.

Even though some were dissatisfied with Henrick gaining a 'Commander' position, there were some who felt Henrick had earned it.

'Ding,

          Master Valen is offering you a 'Commander' position in his city. Do you want to accept it?

"Yes."

There was not a single reason for him to not reject such a good position. So, of course, Henrick would accept it without much hesitation.

Not only will he have a small army to fight against the invaders, but his chances of surviving will also increase.

'All I have to do is to kill as many bug warriors as possible and at the same time, I have to survive for the next 24 hours.'

Henrick silently thought in his head.

"Everyone, let's go into the city and recover ourselves."

While fighting Master Valen the bug warriors, he got to know that their world was under attack by the bug warriors.

Even if they survived the first wave of invasion on their city, it will be difficult to survive the next waves of invasions.

'Looks like Master Valen cares about this city and its people very much.'

It didn't take much time for Henrick to find out that Master Valen was so kind and brave.

Moreover, he can't leave his citizens just like that and can't send them anywhere because according to the bug warriors he fought, all cities in the Glemoth were under attack.

Also, Henrick showed great battle prowess in the earlier battlefield which was more than his commanders. So, without any hesitation, he gave Henrick the 'Commander' position because he wanted to use everyone who could fight against the bug warriors.

"Master Valen, I only came out of my seclusion and I didn't know much about the nearby cities. Can you give a little explanation on them?"

After entering the city, the citizens came out of the underground passage and tended to those who were heavily injured. 

As for Henrick, he asked Master Valen a question.

"Oh."

Hearing Henrick's words, Master Valen raised his brows; however, he didn't ask him any questions; instead, he replied, "I think you are also from another world; however, I don't know why your cultivation was not suppressed by the world."

Master Valen is one of the starting cultivators who entered this world and he has almost reached the peak cultivation stage in this world. So, with Henrick's question, it was not very hard for him to notice that Henrick was not from this world.

"Nevertheless, you are considered an ally by this world. So, there is nothing wrong in explaining about this world."

Master Valen was careful in his words as he only spoke when there were only two of them.

"..."

For the entire time, Henrick didn't speak anything as he knew Master Valen belongs to the category of the people who were kind and unless you committed a huge crime, he would not give a death sentence even to his citizens.

"This world is called Glemoth which is one of the smallest worlds in this world where the cultivation resources were rich; however, the highest cultivation realm anyone from this world can reach is peak master realm."

Soon, Master Valen started explaining about the world with the world restrictions on its inhabitants.

"There are 49 cities in this world and each of them is governed by my sworn brothers who entered this empty world at the same time as me."

Saying until here, Master Valen revealed a slight smile on his face.

"Master Valen, can you contact your brothers to know their situation?"

Henrick asked Master Valen hoping that he would get the current situation of this world.

If most of the cities fell, then no matter how hard they try, they can't withstand the invasion. 

"I already contacted them and there was no invasion on them. I am guessing this city is the first one to be invaded by those bugs."

Master Valen replied to Henrick.

"Also, did you store your amputated hand?"

Soon, Master Valen looked at Henrick's missing right hand and asked Henrick a question.

Since Master Valen was only an inch away from entering the grandmaster realm. So, with a look, he was able to find out that Henrick's hand was amputated recently.

"Unfortunately, I can't save my hand."

With a bitter look on his face, Henrick shook his head.

Actually, there were some medicines that connected the amputated parts to the body; however, for that, they had to store their amputated parts in perfect conditions and there were many items that could do it.

So, it was not a problem; however, Henrick was not in a position to retrieve his hand.

Compared to regrowing medicines, re-attachment medicines were less costly and relatively easy to find.

"Such a pity."

Even Master Valen shook his head because he could say that Henrick had good battle prowess; however, his missing arm will limit his growth in the future.

"Master Valen, is there any fire energy-related cultivational resources for me to use?"

Since he needed to increase his cultivation to survive the buy warriors invasion, he shamelessly asked for the cultivational resources.

"Just go and wait in the guest room. I will send someone with all the fire energy-related cultivational resources in the treasury."

Master Valen knew it was not the time for being stingy. Since Henrick had already proved himself. So, Master Valen didn't feel anything as he asked Henrick to rest in the guest room.

"Thank you, Master Valen."

Henrick thanked the city master as he went to rest in one of the guest rooms inside the city master's castle.

As Master Valen promised, just as Henrick entered his guest room, an old man appeared in front of his room with a storage ring.
