Days like wind started to pass by...
For what felt like a moment, ten days passed since the arrival of the lords. Some lords became raging tornados spreading their name far and wide, whereas others fell under the mercy of the creatures of this continent.
Neo's territory has also greatly changed; the once empty space has now become a large city that covers a radius of 100 km.
With a population of 15000, he could be said to be a very successful lord, though if others knew his troop only amounted to one in this large population, most lords' brains may explode.
"My dearest Lord, another tribe has surrendered."
Stella's charming voice was heard from the lord's mansion as Neo read through the territory's information.
Neo asked, after all, all the tribes in the nearby area are beastmen tribes. Though there is a chance he may find tribes of other races.
"Yes, My Dearest lord."
"Give them to the house minister, he will handle it."
Neo spoke as he put down the file, looking up, he saw Stella wearing the same armor and carrying the same sword as ten days before.
This made him quite helpless. After all, they had gotten better stuff, but since this was his first gift for her, she only wished to use it.
This gave a sense of happiness and helplessness to Neo.
"So how's the army training going?"
Neo asked as he removed the distracting thoughts from his head. Since he couldn't summon army type troops he had to build his own.
"Although they are as inferior as their race, some progress has been made."
Stella's eyes became very sharp when thinking about the days when she was training them. The first hurdle they had to pass was the fact that they had to get used to Stella's beauty.
A near-impossible task for people with a clear mind, so she just showed them what a devil is. Although they don't dare look at Stella with those eyes now, just thinking about the past still angers her.
Neo muttered, not asking anything else, he didn't have much expectation for these tribes, 90% of his territory's fighting strength came from Stella.
"How's your progress?"
Neo asked this time, his voice and expression became a little serious. As one can see from the lack of transcendental aura from Stella, she is still in the supernatural rank.
He is still considered a new lord, he has fulfilled all other conditions except for having a transcendental rank subordinate to be a True Lord.
Without getting into that rank, he will not be able to enjoy most of the authorities and advantages of being a lord.
Hearing his words, a sense of grief and helplessness appeared in Stella's heart, she was still far from the Transcendent rank.
She wished to help her lord, but now she felt like she wasn't worthy enough for him.
Even so, with a sad and fearful heart, she replied, ready to get scolded and hated by her lord.
"I am still far away from it, my dearest lord."
Hearing her answer, Neo looked at her, her valiant eyes now like an abandoned puppy. Her voice weak, Neo never had the heart to scold and her current condition made it even more impossible.
"As my most precious hero I have deep trust in you."
Neo spoke in a gentle tone as he stood up, walking toward her, he patted her head comforting her.
Feeling Neo's head pat, she purred like a cat feeling the gentle heart of her lord, her love and obsession entered an even deeper level.
If not for the fact that she thought of herself as unworthy, she would have already pounced on him.
"Thank you for your kindness, My dearest Lord~"
Stella's sweet voice, like that of a heavenly melody, was heard, this broke a little bit of Neo's defense but he quickly calmed down.
"Here, My dearest Lord."

Her true stats have reached the top tiers of Supernatural(Top) rank, so with the boost given by the Lord's talent, such a monstrous creature was created.
"I know your strength, My Precious Stella. You will reach Transcendent Rank soon."
Neo whispered into her ears, he was still patting her head so they were quite close. Hearing his whisper and feeling his breath her ears and face turned red.
"I shall not let my dearest lord down~"
She spoke with her voice sounding very enchanting, the atmosphere withing the room started to get heated as certain expectation bloomed in both of their hearts.
Stella turned her head up and her watery eyes met Neo's gaze, both of them fell into a trance as their face got closer.
"MY Lord, Emergency!!!"
But the atmosphere was immediately broken by the shout from outside, it was the voice of the leader of the scouting party.
Both of them recognized it but still felt angry in their heart, especially Stella, whose heart was almost burning up with anger.
Giving her one last look, Neo backed up as he sat down on his chair, Stella also calmed herself down as she stood beside Neo.
Neo's commanding voice was heard as a beast man with rabbit-like ears entered the office, his face sweaty and eyes filled with tension.
"My Lord, A Transcendent has appeared. He is slaughtering all the citizens outside the border of your territory."
The rabbit man quickly explained as Neo's eyes became a little serious, the appearance of a Transcendent meant that a nearby large force had started to move against him.
"Do you know which force he is from?"
"My Lord, he shouted that he is from the Hundred Tribe Alliance under the wings of Eastern Beast-men Tribe Alliance."
Hearing this news, Neo rubbed his chin, he knew information about both of those forces. The Hundred tribe Alliance was a local force with an Ascension rank as a leader.
As for the Eastern Beast-men Tribe Alliance, it was one of the two strongest forces in the Eastern region where he is.
"Ok then go, tell the House Minister and Deputy Defense Minister to make sure nobody leaves the territory walls."
After receiving Neo's command, the rabbit man left the room, the room fell into silence again as Neo was lost in deep thought.
"Do you think you can defeat him, Stella?"
Neo asked, breaking the silence of the room, his eyes fell on the figure of Stella who stood there proudly without any fear.
"I shall crush that ant, My Dearest Lord."
Stella replied with full confidence, although she was of the Transcendent rank, she never feared them.
"Well then, let's hunt a Transcendent today."
Do give me some Power Stone.!!!!!
