The merit trial grounds the enforced tasks resembled a funnel.
Continually sifting and eliminating those unfit for this realm.
As the number of candidates dwindled, the obligatory tasks were subsequently rescended.
Naturally, this was merely Fong's perception.
Whether it held true in reality remained inconclusive.
He continued to examine the rewards for the day, discovering two architectural blueprints.
The first was the camp structure blueprint, the Tower of the Fallen, purple.
This was a commendable acquisition being a purple blueprint.
Tower of the fallen purple category architectural blueprint.
ability increases the range of divine control.
Description: A unique structure of the undead faction.
Constructible within the territories, cities, or towns, augmenting the range of divine control.
Construction requirements: Sturdy 3350 stone bricks 4500, iron, 1200, traces of death 120, shadow stones 30.
Is this all? Fongo felt a tinge of dissatisfaction with this reward.
What a lackluster offering devoid of any sense of surprise.
At the very least, it should have provided a special military structure to recruit formidable troops.
Alternatively, a weapon of mass destruction capable of annihilating the Skull Crusher tribe would have been preferable.
Instead, he received a mere enhancement to the range of divine control.
Although this was indeed necessary, his disappointment lingered.
Despite his inner grievances, he had no option to exchange the reward.
The Tower of the Fallen's function was not difficult to comprehend.
It served as a signal tower akin to those in modern society.
Funha's divine abilities proved remarkably advantageous.
His survival thus far was largely attributable to these powers, allowing him to manifest his divine presence upon his troops without personally risking danger.
However, the divine ability bore significant limitations, particularly concerning distance and compatibility.
Fong Hao could utilize his divine presence to descend upon the Pigman village.
Yet, he could not transcend that local to command the skeletons towards the dragon's grave.
He would first need to travel to the Pigman village before employing his divine presence, thereby minimizing the operational distance.
The Tower of the Fallen could effectively address this issue, representing a notably useful capability.
However, the demand for shadow stones was substantial, and they were precisely what he lacked most.
Even with the blueprint in hand, construction remained unattainable.
He proceeded to examine the second blueprint.
Upon seeing it, Fong Hao felt a rush of exhilaration.
An orange blueprint.
Merit trial grounds orange category.

Hero assessment.
Upon reaching the 10th tier with a special troop type, one may undergo an assessment.
Successful evaluation promotes one to hero status while failure results in a reduction of 13 tiers.
Further assessments may continue beyond the 10th tier.
Troops that are transformed, produced, or summoned are ineligible for assessment.
Hero advancement.
Heroes may undergo trials here to elevate their tiers with no penalties for trial failures.

The existence of an upgrade path for a territory directly influences a hero's sense of belonging.
No one wishes to languish in a stagnant village for a lifetime.
A territory that can foster personal growth is more readily embraced by heroes.
Furthermore, upon reaching the 10th tier, troops can undergo the hero trial.
Success leads to their promotion to heroes.
This also signifies his potential to assemble an army composed entirely of heroes.
However, within the territory, only the bone dragon has reached the 10th tier, leaving uncertainty as to whether it belongs to the transformative class of units.
Even if it does not, he lacks both the heart of a hero and the credentials required.
Most importantly, the fees demanded are exorbitantly high.
One would te spend such a sum even for graduate studies, and there are no guarantees of success.
Indeed, it is rather exploitative.
Grumbling about the exorbitant charges, Fong Hao chose a vacant plot near the statue area for construction.
An orange glow illuminated the territory, capturing the attention of many.
After a full 20 minutes, a structure resembling an altar emerged before Fong Ho.
Ding.
Nelson's loyalty to you has increased by five.
Current loyalty 85.
Doya Ana's loyalty to you has increased by 10.
Current loyalty 87.
With the completion of the building, the favorability of the two heroes within the territory rose once more.
Evidently, this structure significantly impacts the heroes.
Merely erecting a building was enough to enhance loyalty.
The more cultured and worldly individuals are often harder to win over.
As his first hero, Nelson's loyalty stands at only 85, slightly above the Copper Bowl who was coerced into joining yesterday.
Alas, the only option is to gradually find ways to improve it.
Master, dinner is ready.
Ear trotted over, glancing at the altar before turning her big eyes towards Fong Hao.
Oh, let's go.
I've just wrapped up.
The two made their way to the Lord Stone Tower.
To celebrate today's victory, the dinner prepared by was rather sumptuous.
Although the quantity was modest, it consisted of Fong How and Ana's favorite dishes.
Once the meal commenced, the three began to eat.
Anya and ear engaged in light conversation while Fong Hao opened the Lord's book to see what others were saying in the channel.
The system rewards have been distributed and those who survived could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I made it through.
Damn it.
The mandatory tasks are no more and everyone can now develop properly for a while without the constant dread of the 7-day trial looming over us.
Indeed, every time the sixth day approached, I didn't te even dare to relieve myself, fearing I end up in the underworld as a starving ghost.
Now I need not live in constant trepidation.
The individuals above clearly possess the wisdom to navigate life's challenges.
Today I yearn for a sumptuous feast to celebrate as the mandatory tasks have come to an end.
At last, I find myself in a position befitting a lord, surrounded by loyal followers and ample provisions.
Frankly, this is the life that a true lord ought to lead.
However, it seems the esteemed individuals above have underestimated the situation.
The system has indicated that with the conclusion of mandatory tasks, we now face randomized event missions, which in essence are no different.
On the contrary, randomized event missions may prove to be even more arduous.
Mandatory tasks provided a fixed time frame and specific challenges to test our dominion, while randomized events present a far more daunting prospect.
Do you recall the Lord's struggle from the other day? That was our first encounter with a randomized event mission, exposing our territory to the scrutiny of other lords, which is certainly no less challenging than a siege.
I comprehend the sentiment of those above.
