11.5 agility made his burst speed like a leopard, crossing twenty meters in three steps. The Wildfire Spear turned into a dark red lightning bolt, stabbing straight at the Great Qin Garrison Soldier's chest!

"Roar!" The Great Qin Garrison Soldier let out a silent roar (a violent fluctuation of the soul), and the long halberd swept towards the spear tip with heavy force!

Head-on collision!

Clang—!!!

A deafening sound of impact exploded in the ruins of Heitie Town! Sparks splashed like fireworks!

Lin Feng's body swayed, the stone slab under his feet cracked inch by inch, but he did not retreat a single step!

The Great Qin Garrison Soldier, however, was shaken back half a step by this terrifying force!

"Nothing special!" A fierce look flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He drew back the Wildfire Spear, then thrust it out again with even greater force!

The long-suppressed flame at the tip of the spear erupted violently!

The second strike! Aiming straight for the throat!

The Great Qin Garrison Soldier hurriedly raised its halberd to block, but its movement was a beat too slow!

Puchi!

The spear tip pierced through the leather armor and stabbed into the blue-gray side of the neck! Dark red flames spewed from the wound!

-95!

The Great Qin Garrison Soldier's soul fire trembled wildly, and it swung the long halberd frantically, trying to force Lin Feng back.

But Lin Feng did not retreat at all! He dodged the halberd blade, and the Wildfire Spear pressed down, the shaft slamming heavily onto the Great Qin Garrison Soldier's left knee!

Crack! The sound of bone breaking was clearly audible!

-98!

The Great Qin Garrison Soldier's body lowered, and it knelt on the ground.

Now is the time!

Lin Feng stepped forward, holding the spear with both hands, pouring all his strength into the shaft, and delivered a straightforward yet lightning-fast thrust!

The target—the ball of violently flickering dark red soul fire under the Great Qin Garrison Soldier's helmet!

Puh!

The spear tip pierced into the eye socket and came out from the back of the head!

-100! (Critical Hit!)

The Great Qin Garrison Soldier's halberd-swinging motion froze in mid-air, its tall body trembled violently, and then it crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The bronze long halberd landed with a "clang."

【Killed Lv13 Great Qin Garrison Soldier, Experience +350】

【Level Up: 9 → 10】

【Obtained Free Attribute Point: 1】

But Lin Feng had no time to care about leveling up right now. His gaze was locked tightly on the ball of thick, inseparable golden light that suddenly emerged beside the Great Qin Garrison Soldier's corpse!

Within the golden light, an ancient dark gold scroll slowly materialized.

The edges of the scroll were inlaid with dark red patterns, and the black metal end-caps were carved with patterns of cities and spears.

Special Village Establishment Order!

Lin Feng lunged forward and grabbed the scroll tightly. It felt slightly heavy, with a unique texture, warm yet cool to the touch.

The moment he held it, he seemed to hear the echoes of distant battlefields and city-building.

"This is..."

Shadow Snake's voice sounded from the side, trembling with disbelief.

Lin Feng looked up and saw Shadow Snake's eyes, which were always cold, now staring fixedly at the scroll in his hand.

For the first time, a violent emotional fluctuation appeared on her cold face.

Shock, longing, hope.

Her gaze seemed to be firmly locked, her lips slightly parted, but she could not make a sound.

Lin Feng gripped the Special Village Establishment Order in his hand, feeling the immense power and unknown possibilities within it.

Then, meeting Shadow Snake's gaze, he nodded firmly.

"Yes. A Village Establishment Order." His voice was very soft, yet resolute, "We can... go home."

"Go home..." Shadow Snake repeated, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

Then, she looked up at Lin Feng.

Under the moonlight, the woman who was always hidden in the shadows had the corners of her mouth curve upward very slightly.

She smiled.

Although it was only for a moment, and although she immediately returned to her cold demeanor.

But the radiance of that moment was deeply imprinted in the bottom of Lin Feng's eyes.

Lin Feng also smiled; it was a smile of satisfaction and heroism.

He gripped the Special Village Establishment Order and looked towards the east—towards Beacon Fire Village, and further away, towards the Blue Star home he dreamed of.

The first step had finally been taken.

And ahead, a path that truly belonged to him, a path of Beacon Fire Prairies, had just begun.

...

On the second floor of the Council Hall, the heavy wooden door shut out the noise of the outside world.

Lin Feng leaned against the door panel, and only then, alone, did he allow his tense nerves to completely relax.

His heart pounded violently in his chest, not because of fear, but because of the scorching heat emanating from the dark gold scroll in his hand, which felt like it was about to burn his palm.

He walked to the window, and by the eternal dark red skylight of the Nightmare World streaming in from outside, he took a deep breath and slowly unfolded the scroll.

The material of the scroll was neither leather nor silk; it felt warm yet had a hint of metallic coolness to the touch.

On the dark gold background, complex and ancient characters were written in some kind of dark red, almost black, ink.

But in Lin Feng's eyes, these characters were automatically converted into [N O V E L I G H T] information he could understand, flooding into his mind like flowing water:

【Special Village Establishment Order】

Binding it will allow you to establish an official territory recognized by the National Fortune Cauldron, opening the path of a Lord.

Item 1: Foundation of the Lord

Binding the Village Establishment Order will convert you to the Lord panel.

After binding, the Nightmare Body level will be reset to level 10, retaining the first-turn class and corresponding skills.

Basic attributes (Constitution, Strength, Agility) will all be enhanced by +30%.

According to the bound user's first-turn class bonus, the final template will be calculated:

Total three-dimensional bonus ≥ 240% → Generate Lord Hero Template

Total three-dimensional bonus ≥ 180% → Generate Lord Rare Template

Total three-dimensional bonus < 180% → Generate Lord Elite Template

When the Lord returns to Blue Star from the Nightmare World, all their strength (including level, attributes, skills, and template bonuses) will be fully retained.

Note: When non-Lord units return to Blue Star, their full strength will be suppressed by the rules, with effects weakened by 50%.

Item 2: Covenant of Immortality

As long as the territory is not destroyed, the Blue Star main body will not die (if the Blue Star main body dies, it will be resurrected in the territory in the Nightmare World, and can return to Blue Star after 10 days, with a random appearance location).

The territory core can only be destroyed during the monthly Nightmare Tide (it can also be destroyed in a Lord battle, but a war post must be issued half a month in advance).

If the Lord dies in the Nightmare World, they have one chance per year to resurrect in the territory core area (cannot be used during the Nightmare Tide).

When the territory core is attacked and the defense is about to be breached, the Lord and all troops directly under their command will instantly teleport back to the core location, regardless of distance, to conduct the final defense.

Item 3: Domain of Authority

Opens the territory management template, allowing for the planning of the territory layout.

Can designate core areas and non-core areas.

Can grant titles to residents:

Honorary Title: Can enter the core area.

Common Title: Can enter non-core areas.

Temporary Common Title: Can enter non-core areas within seven days.

Those without titles cannot enter the territory!

Within the territory, residents cannot attack each other.

The Awakened can safely switch consciousness between the core area and non-core areas, returning to Blue Star, while their Nightmare avatars will remain in place.

Item 4: Time of Transformation

Generating the Lord Hero Template requires 24 hours of deep modification of the Nightmare Body; please ensure you are in a safe environment during this period. Generating other templates takes effect immediately.

Item 5: Special Gift (Unique to this order)

Randomly obtain a special unit building.
