uehfvjfd 33 The aftermath

Shortly after the Red Commander left, the golden light faded and Jay opened his eyes. When he saw the Commander fleeing he obviously didn't follow. Even if he might be able to catch up, it would be a highly risky battle.

Behind them, the Iceborne army was on its last legs. As soon as Jay come closer with his saber high in the air, the enemies surrendered.

Khal's army has surrendered, 1 person routed

Satisfied with this result, for now, Jay had a good look at his troops. They had a surprisingly small amount of casualties. Only a dozen of his people had died, while the surrendered enemies numbered 15.

Of course, he also lost 10 blue-furs which were worth multiple of their troops.

Overall he made plenty of profit this fight. They now had over 90 pieces of F+ grade armor and a few of an even higher grade.

This made the soldiers cheer, they had gotten some more valuable battle experience and their lord had turned into a tier 1 mage.

Yet, Jay wasn't so happy. Not only did he reveal his location to every lord in the entire region, he felt something was wrong with his advancement. If someone advanced on the warrior path they would get a qi core, if someone advanced to become a mage they would get a mana core.

That was the source of their strength, yet, he had neither. His mancore started forming during the breakthrough, but then sword intent interrupted it from spreading, making its own core.

So he had a mana core and an odd kind of qi core. He was worried that this might cause problems for his future progression. His mana increased the amount it should have despite the smaller core, something that also puzzled him.

In the end, he let the matter rest for now. The surrendered Iceborne did have some useful information. The Red Commander was 1 of the 3 Commanders of the Iceborne and they had about 500 troops earlier.

Even if they didn't remember the location of the base this was certainly useful information. He would have to be careful when expanding forward, and he had to get General Green and Geralt to breakthrough quickly. After keeping this thought in mind, he noticed he had missed a notification he got when he was within the golden light.

Congratulations user for being the first human to reach Tier 1

Region announcement: Congratulations to Jay 'Pangea' Collin for being the first human to reach Tier 1

Reward: 1000 gold, D grade armor

This announcement made Jay feel odd. The rewards he had gotten were great but being put in the first region announcement of the region would put a huge target on his back.

Region announcement: Congratulations to Alexis Vale for being the second human to reach Tier 1

This announcement made him frown, only a month had passed but someone, other than himself, already reached Tier 1?

After thinking for a while it really wasn't that surprising. A person could have all sorts of fortunate events happen to them. Geralt was one of them, he had gotten a great legacy allowing him to stand at the brink of advancement himself.

The combined took all of the spoils before throwing all the corpses into the water. The Ice would remain red for a long time to come and for the following week the water was sure to be red as well.

After this they returned to base, they had the standing Giant help the fallen one up.

Icy city was relatively safe for now. They had just repelled the Iceborne army so it should take a good while before they returned. There were no other forces they knew of that fought for the icelands.

Meanwhile, the many forces that would now be looking for him would be bound to find First city. Jay headed back with the Giant and the newly gained Iceborne. He wanted to make sure they would stay loyal after a week and well, First City was the perfect place for that.

When he got back to First City he was pleasantly surprised. The city had grown once more, multiple warehouses could be seen full of resources, even some magical materials had been found such as Hades wood, which was amazing for making bows.

When he entered the magic tower he saw there were 10 disciples present, which was a lot considering at this time they would usually be out getting resources in order to get merit points.

It was only then he noticed these disciples were holding basic magic books, studying them. He also noticed that he only recognized a few of the disciples here, it seemed that new people with talent in magic had arrived and gotten a hold of some treasured.

When he headed into the second floor, old man Von Hauser spotted him bowing deeply.

"Congratulations on your advancement my lord."

Soon after Jay got a detailed debrief of what had happened here. The villagers arriving a day had increased even more but now there were also some kids mixed in. Some of these kids were taken to the magic tower in order to become mages as their talent wasn't decided fully yet.

Additionally, they had gotten a whole bunch of resources, including 5 magic crystals. And just this day they had even found a magic crystal mine!

Ecstatic by this discovery, Jay handed the old man 50 gold to do with as he wished. And also decided to reward the person who found it another 20 gold.

Training had continued as usual and General Green had a few other great soldiers help him in training all the new blood.

It seemed that the entire village knew about Jay's advancement as everyone congratulated him respectfully upon spotting him.

This did remind him of something. The forums. From day 1 everyone with an E grade AI chip or higher could enter the forums in order to make posts and get information about the world. Previously he hadn't even looked at it since there would be nothing useful for him anyways.

Now, it did hold some importance, it was as possible for him to get congratulated as it was for him to be threatened.
