Labo and Oasis were teleported to the Dark Cult base in Undertown.
“Come, Dark Lord!”
Maid Alpha and Butler Beta bowed deeply and greeted Labo.
Although his gaze was cold because of his friendliness and favorability, Labo, who had become accustomed to him, didn’t care anymore.
Only Oasis flinched a little.
“I have completed the production of the troops you instructed. Would you like to confirm?”
“Well, show me.”
Alpha and Beta gathered the soldiers waiting in the barracks in the center of the base.
An unexpected military parade was held. Labo looked at the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
“Wow… … Quite a few troops have gathered.”
The troops that had previously been produced were four goblin archers, five goblin spearmen, and two goblin shieldmen.
Let’s add up the newly produced troops here, and it was as follows:
Unit 1: Goblin Scouts
– Goblin Wolf Rider: 2nd period
– Goblin Shaman: 2nd period
– Goblin Shield Name: 5th Generation
– Goblin Archers: 20 units
– Goblin Spearmen: 10 units
Unit 2: Orc Assault Team
– Orc Legion Commander: 2nd period
– Orc Heavy Infantry: 10 units
– Orc Heavy Archer: 20 units
Unit 3: Skeleton Corps
– Death Knight: 1st period
– Elder Lich: 2nd period
– Skeleton Soldiers: 20 units
As expected from a result of pouring out nearly 300,000 notoriety, the size of the troops had grown considerably.
“The unit name and composition have been temporarily designated. You may edit them as Your Majesty desires.”
“No, it’s okay. This will be enough.”
Monster units must be composed of the same race to receive the race bonus.
Labo placed only one Orc Commander in the Goblin Scouts. Since the Orc Commander and Death Knight are ‘commander’ units, placing them gives a command bonus to the entire unit.
“A total of five named soldiers were produced. Please check.”
“Oh, five?”
As Beta gestured, the named soldiers came out of the line and stood in front of Labo one by one.
The previously produced named goblin spearman, ‘Merciless Kerg’, saluted first, and the new named soldiers standing next to him saluted one by one.
Named Goblin Archer, ‘High-Looking Harag’.
Named Orc Heavy Infantry, ‘Tough Zuku’.
Named Orc Legion Commander, ‘Smart Bayaku’.
Named Elder Lich, ‘Whispering Kulan’.
Named Death Knight, ‘Dearan the Brave’.
They were all named soldiers of rare or unique grades, but only ‘Fearless Daeran’ had a different name.
Bright golden!
‘no way?’
Labo immediately opened the status of ‘Brave and Incomparable Dearan’.
The fearless Daeran
– Occupation: Death Knight
– Rating: Epic
– Soldier Lv: 85
– Skills held: Frontal Command, Rush to Death, Drain, Life Absorption, Fear Immunity, Holy Resistance
– Special Passive: When a soldier you command dies, you will be resurrected once only if they are a skeleton. Including yourself.
> The leader of the legendary mercenary group ‘Daybreaker’. After being resurrected from the dead, he became even more courageous than before.
“Life is a waste! Charge!”
Legendary rank soldier!
And that too, the Death Knight, a top-tier soldier and commander, is a legend!
There has never been such good fortune as this.
Labo hummed to himself and appointed ‘Fearless Dearan’ as the commander-in-chief of the monster force.
“You are the commander of the entire 3rd Division, Dearan.”
“It is an honor, Lord of Darkness.”
Dearan answered with a voice that seemed to come from deep underground and bowed his head briefly.
Within the eyes of the empty skeleton knight, a blue flame moved like snow.
Oasis, whose eyes met mine, started hiccupping.
“Your Majesty, would you like to send your legions to ‘invade’?”
“The areas and dungeons you can currently target are as follows:”
Alpha and Beta spread out a map in front of Labo’s eyes.
Sending ‘Invasion’ to dungeons to catch monsters will earn you gold, and sending it to towns or fields to fight users will earn you notoriety.
During this process, monsters also gain experience, level up, and become stronger.
The map showed all the maps of Wings Online. Not only the Old Continent, but also the New Continent was included in the invasion range.

“hmm…….”
But Labo, who had been thinking for a moment, shook his head.
“No, I will personally lead the expedition soon. For now, just stand by.”
“Understood, Your Majesty!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Alpha and Beta immediately removed the map from their sight.
Labo gestured toward the barracks.
“Doesn’t the barracks have their own training menu?”
“Yes, if you do not produce troops, you can train the troops you have produced in advance at the barracks and have them gain experience.”
“The current barracks level is 5, so up to 50 units can be trained at the same time. Would you like to start training?”
“Yeah, that one keeps spinning.”
“Yes! Everyone, to the barracks!”
Beta led the soldiers into the barracks.
Labo turned his head to Alpha standing next to him.
“I would like to see other upgraded facilities.”
“Of course, Your Majesty! Come this way.”
Labo and Oasis followed Alpha’s guidance and walked into the base.
All the facilities within the base had reached level 3. Labo first stopped in front of the Armory.
“This is the armory. You can upgrade your soldiers’ equipment. There are two main types. First, there is the ‘general upgrade’, which upgrades all of your soldiers’ equipment.”
Inside the armory, the goblin blacksmiths were sitting around blankly. It seemed like they were just playing around because they weren’t being asked to do any work.
“You can upgrade weapons and armor in three stages. However, upgrades are applied by race, so we recommend upgrading them according to the race of the unit you will be using as your main.”
There are currently three races in the unit, so it will take a lot of resources to fully upgrade them.
Labo groaned as he checked the amount of resources consumed in the upgrade window.
“You said it was divided into two earlier. What’s the second one, which isn’t a regular upgrade?”
The Dark Cult base was a system that Labo had personally created, but it had been left unattended for so long that his memory of it became hazy.
Labo asked Alpha to make sure.
“The second is ‘Individual Equipment Production’. You can equip individual equipment to named soldiers. It replaces general upgraded equipment and can provide more powerful performance.”
Alpha pointed to a corner of the armory, where a bearded, senior goblin blacksmith was nodding off.
“You have to input materials and produce them here, completely separate from the existing equipment used by the user.”
Labo opened the production window. There were various weapons, armor, and accessories.
“Everything is good, but it’s so damn expensive… … .”
“There is a certain probability that high-grade equipment will be produced during production, and the probability increases depending on the level of the armory.”
“Okay, that’s fine for now.”
Labo decided to do just one general upgrade at a time. It was cheap and took a short time.
It seems that the Dark Cult NPCs in the New Continent were clashing with regular users, and the Dark Cult temple occupation bonus was gradually gaining notoriety.
Labo has been pouring out his notoriety without sparing any effort over the past few days.
Let’s reserve one level each for upgrading the weapons and armor of goblins, orcs, and skeletons, and the goblin blacksmiths who had just started working began to run around busily.
“Next is the research lab.”
Alpha guided Labo and Oasis to the next facility.
Despite its grand name, the Laboratory, it was a rather modest facility. Goblins wearing large, round glasses were walking around, noisily.
‘What base is full of goblins…?’
Oasis thought to himself.
“You can produce and upgrade various siege weapons and water-based weapons. It is easier to attack castles with monster hordes or raid human villages. It can also be used to protect facilities from human attacks.”
Labo glanced at the production window.
Dark Cult Base-Research Center: Lv3
> Siege weapons
– Siege Ram: Infamy 30,000 / Gold 3,000
– Siege Tower: Infamy 25,000 / Gold 2,500
– Siege Catapult: Infamy 25,000 / Gold 2,500
> Mercury weapons
– Mercury Crossbow: Infamy 10,000 / Gold 1,000
– Mercury Cannon: Infamy 15,000 / Gold 1,500
– Mercury Flamethrower: Infamy 18,000 / Gold 1,800
It was so f*cking expensive.
“Oh no, I won’t buy it. I won’t buy it!”
The disgusted Labo waved his hands wildly.
For now, Labo decided to stop at this point and stopped exploring the facilities further.
“Okay, I guess we’re almost done with the rest.”
Back at the center of the base, Beta was waiting quietly, having finished training the soldiers.
Leaving Alpha and Beta behind, Labo and Oasis walked towards the entrance of the base.
“I’ll be coming to pick up the soldiers soon, so train them well~.”
“Goodbye, Dark Lord!”
“I will always await your visit, Your Majesty.”
Labo and Oasis left the base, escorted by Alpha and Beta.
“But, Master, is there a reason why you continue to use this base?”
Oasis tilted his head.
“We’ve taken over the temple, the headquarters of the Dark Cult, and we also have the occupied territory of Paradise Lost. Can’t we just produce troops there?”
“Paradise Lost couldn’t have such facilities in the first place. The temple does have all the facilities though.”
Labo shrugged.
“We need to upgrade the facilities from the beginning again. The basic upgrades are better than here, but this place is higher now… … It’s better to make this the main location.”
“Aha, indeed… … .”
Instead of returning to the temple, Labo returned to Undertown through the entrance.
Dean, the dark wizard who was guarding the base entrance at Beggar’s Square, jumped up in surprise.
“Oh my! You have come, Your Majesty!”
“No, I’m going now. See you later~.”
Leaving Dean behind, who was looking flustered, Labo headed into Undertown.
Oasis waved his hand in greeting to Dean, who was sweating profusely.
“Master, do you have business in Undertown as well?”
“Ah… … It’s not like I have any business to attend to.”
When Oasis, who had been silently following Labo, asked, Labo gave an ambiguous answer.
“There’s someone who needs some business with me.”
“yes?”
“It’s about time I got a call. Hmm… … .”
At that moment, the friends window on the interface started blinking. It was someone requesting a whisper conversation.
Labo smiled brightly as if he had been waiting for it.
“This guy is not a nobleman either.”
Labo paused for a moment and then whispered.
“Hey, Akasa. What’s going on?”
The one who whispered was Akasa, one of the most famous cash merchants in Wings Online.
– Oh, Brother Labo. How have you been?
“I’m getting ready to play. What’s going on? Oh, by the way, it’s almost time to pay back the 1 million gold.”
– No, brother… … I don’t mind the 1 million gold.
Even if you pay in cash, 1 million gold is a considerable amount of money, so you say ‘I guess it’s good’.
That was not what Akasa had to say. The smile on Labo’s lips grew deeper.
“Really? If that’s not the problem, then what is it?”
– … … Brother. I know you’re busy, but I’m really sorry.
Akasa, who had been hesitating, finally spoke out.
– Could you meet me for a moment? I think we need to talk face to face…
“Hmm, I’m really busy right now… … .”
After a moment’s hesitation, Labo answered softly.
“Okay, I’m in Undertown right now. I’ll go meet you. Are you in the store right now?”
A bright smile appeared on Akasa’s face.
– Really! Thank you! Thank you, brother!
As Akasa continued to express his gratitude, Labo cut off the whisper.
And then he stroked the head of Oasis, whose eyes were wide open next to him.
“Okay, then let’s go meet our guild’s water lord… … no, ahem! Our eighth member?”
