Global lord: Million times Multiplier System-Chapter 14: Global Announcement

Zhao stood near the Lord's House, his gaze sweeping over the organized piles of loot from the winged lizardman alpha and the 500 lizardmen. The territory was buzzing with activity, soldiers and workers moving with purpose, but his focus was on the new additions to his arsenal. The Bronze Tier Territory Certificate in his inventory was a promise of further growth, but these items represented immediate, tangible power.

He called Elara over, the engineer eager to explore the new technology. "My lord, what do you need from me?" she asked, her voice filled with anticipation.

Zhao motioned to the piles of loot. "Examine these," he said, gesturing to the vast array of items. "I want to know how we can best utilize them to strengthen Abyss."

Elara nodded, her gaze fixating on the items as she accessed their details through the system interface.

|Portable War Fortress * 250|

Description: A compact fortress that can be deployed for rapid defense or as an offensive stronghold. An invention by the Mechanical God, this fortress can be used in any environment and provides complete defense and offense.

The Portable War Fortress was a marvel of engineering, a testament to the ingenuity of Central Land's creators. It was not just a structure but a strategic asset that could turn the tide of any battle. Its compact form could be deployed in seconds, transforming into a bastion capable of housing and defending soldiers, providing a tactical advantage in mobility and surprise. Zhao saw it as the cornerstone of guerrilla warfare or a means to establish quick, secure outposts in hostile territories. The fortress could adapt to the terrain, its defenses adjusting to counter any type of attack, whether it be from land, air, or even magical assaults. With its ability to deploy in any environment, from the depths of the forest to the harshness of the desert, it was a tool that could redefine how battles were fought in Central Land.

The fortress's ability to provide both defense and offense was not just about physical structures; it was about strategy. Zhao imagined deploying these fortresses to create chokepoints, to ambush enemies, or to serve as a fallback position. They could be the difference between victory and defeat in open combat or when facing an overwhelming force. The Mechanical God's invention was truly revolutionary, allowing for dynamic battlefield control.

|Ancient Wave Panoply * 2450|

Description: A set of armor crafted from the scales of ancient sea serpents, imbued with the power of the ocean's waves. Each piece resonates with the natural energy of water, offering both protection and the ability to manipulate aquatic forces.

Stats:

+750% physical defense

+500% resistance to water-based attacks

Grants the ability to walk on water

Provides passive skill: Ocean's Embrace – Increases health regeneration by 300% when near water sources; once per day, can summon a tidal wave for defense or attack (10-meter radius, 30-second duration, 24-hour cooldown)

The Ancient Wave Panoply was not just armor; it was an embodiment of the ocean's might. The ability to walk on water could offer strategic advantages in battle, allowing for attacks from unexpected angles or escape routes where none should exist. The passive skill, Ocean's Embrace, made soldiers near water sources nearly unkillable, turning any river or lake into a natural fortress. Zhao envisioned using this armor to guard critical points along the river that flowed through Abyss, creating a defensive line that would be a nightmare for any enemy to breach.

|Dragon Slaying Sword * 1680|

Description: Forged in the fires of dragon breath, these swords are designed to pierce through even the toughest draconic scales, carrying within them a portion of the dragon's essence.

Stats:

+1000% damage against dragons and draconic creatures

+500% fire damage

+200% attack speed

Grants active skill: Dragon's Bane – On activation, the sword emits a fire aura that increases all nearby allies' attack power by 100% against draconic enemies for 5 minutes, 6-hour cooldown

The Dragon Slaying Swords were a symbol of power and fear, capable of turning the tide against any draconic threat. Their fire damage and increased attack speed would make them lethal against any foe, not just dragons. The Dragon's Bane skill could turn a skirmish into a rout, providing a significant boost to his forces' offensive capabilities when facing these mythical beasts. Zhao planned to equip his most elite Eternal Knights with these swords, creating a vanguard that could break through any defense.

Elara's eyes widened as she read the details, her mind racing with possibilities. "My lord, these are exceptional. The Portable War Fortresses could change how we approach both defense and attack. The Ancient Wave Panoply could revolutionize our defense strategy, and the Dragon Slaying Swords will make us a terror against any draconic threat."

Zhao nodded, his mind already formulating plans. "The Ancient Wave Panoply will be distributed among the soldiers guarding near water sources. For the Dragon Slaying Swords, equip half of the Eternal Knights with them—we'll see how they perform in combat."

Elara agreed, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "I'll start on integrating the Panoply into our existing defenses. I'll coordinate with Valorn for the distribution of the swords."

Valorn, Balor, and Lyra were briefed on the Dragon Slaying Swords, their eyes widening with anticipation. Valorn took charge, distributing the swords among selected Eternal Knights, his voice firm as he instructed them on their use. As even though they were stronger against draconic threats, they were not an inch behind on other enemies.

Balor, wielding one of the swords, swung it in a wide arc, the blade slicing through the air with a whoosh, its edge glowing with a fiery light. "This will make us even deadlier," he said, his tone one of approval and eagerness for the next battle.

Lyra, meanwhile, considered how the swords could benefit her Archers. "If we equip these on our frontline soldiers, it frees us to focus more on ranged attacks. We'll be untouchable," she mused, her strategic mind already calculating new formations and tactics.

Zhao, meanwhile, tested his new set of armor combined with the Ancient Wave Panoply. The synergy was palpable; the ocean's essence enhanced his draconic powers, his body feeling lighter, his movements more fluid, as if he were part of the water itself. He summoned a tidal wave near the river, the water rising in a majestic arc before crashing down, controlled yet ferocious, a testament to his growing mastery over his abilities.

With the integration of these new items, Zhao felt Abyss transform into an even more formidable fortress. He opened the Territory Management panel again, his finger hovering over the upgrade button, knowing that with the certificate, the time was ripe. But first, he wanted to ensure his soldiers were fully adapted to their new gear. He turned to Marcus, who had been overseeing the resource collection.

"Marcus, continue gathering resources. We'll need more for future upgrades. Keep an eye out for anything unusual."

Marcus nodded, his rugged features set with determination. "Yes, my lord. We'll scout the surrounding areas and gather everything we can."

He called Valorn, Balor, and Lyra to him,

"We're on the cusp of greatness," he said, his voice steady. "With these new tools, Abyss will be ready for whatever comes next. Let's prepare for the upgrade. We have the certificate; now, we need to ensure every building, every soldier, is at peak readiness."

Valorn saluted his expression one of unwavering loyalty. "We'll be ready, my lord. The Eternal Legion will not falter."

With the preparations in place, Zhao clicked the upgrade button on the Territory Management panel, the screen glowing with a golden light as the system chimed.

Zhao was surprised by this unexpected turn of events. Since coming to this world, he had done many common sense-defying things, but it was the first time he had gotten such an achievement. As he was thinking, even more announcements kept coming.

The Path of Ascension was not just a reward; it was a call to something greater. It meant that Zhao's journey was far from over; it was an invitation to transcend beyond what he had achieved. The title "1st Ascender" was a beacon, signaling that he was on a path few would tread, one where the rewards could shape the very fabric of Central Land. The "Pioneer of Ranks" title further solidified his place in history, his reputation now a legend among lords.

Zhao did not get any time to think about his territory's upgrade, the new blueprints, or anything else as all his attention was focused on the treasure chests. A treasure that had caused something inside him to yell, saying that whatever it was, it would probably be the most valuable or the most useful thing he would ever get.
