BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116 Gaining A Territory And Rewards
"I'm going to stop you before you ask anything Reign, I value my life, therefore, I can't tell you anything." Reign looks at Eldar with confusion in his eyes.
"You value your life, what does that have to do with telling me anything?"
"You will understand in the future Reign, but for now know this, try to gain control over your powers as soon as possible, you have no idea how big of an impact your identity will be in the alliance if you don't," Eldar tells Reign with a serious expression before turning around and going to the hole in the roof.
After a couple of minutes, they were all back in the warehouse, Reign was still looking at Eldar from time to time as he didn't understand why his identity was such a big deal.
But for now, he was simply going to wait for the timer to go down to 0. Occupying the territory was the most important thing to do right now as it will be beneficial for both of their areas. Reign and the others will have the town open for them to hunt in, as that was much more time-friendly than going through the forests. The newbies from the town will be able to fight the monsters in the low-level forests around the castle without sneaking through the town infested with high-level monsters.
It was a win-win situation that nobody will argue against. Thanks to their overwhelming power compared to the town's inhabitants they were also certain that nobody will dare to create any trouble, not to mention the high-level soldiers that will be posted to defend the territory will be there as well.
Slowly time passed until it went down to 0.

Reign and the others were slightly surprised by the evaluation Ronny and the other two were given, they didn't know that players in a party could be evaluated or anything similar. They understood that it was the way the system made sure only the ones deserving of rewards get them. Even so, the three were surprised and excited to get rank B items, the strongest item they had was a rank C, and even those they had only one per person.

Description: A chestguard made from mysterious materials that were embedded with a strange power that makes fire burn on the surface of it.

Description : A scythe used by an average farmer a long time ago. The farmer's family was attacked by crazed soldiers one day and he had to defend them, killing the soldiers with his scythe. Spending the next years running away from the kingdom and the soldiers that were after them the family had to go through many hardships until all but the farmer died. The farmer vowed to spend the remaining years of his life enacting revenge on the kingdom. Many years later the farmer returned to the kingdom with his scythe that was now much different compared to many years ago. With his scythe, he killed all the nobles and the whole army before dying and leaving his scythe behind. The hidden power in the scythe will allow the wielder to gain unparalleled power for a short period of time and is only usable once a week.
[ Rank A Sun Striker, Katana of Stars ]
Attack: 90

Description : A katana made by heating, hammering, and folding the steel hundreds of times until perfection. The blade was bathed in the power of the stars that further strengthened it and only the noblest can wield it. By using the katana all dark powers will be sealed for the user. By activating the power hidden deep inside the katana the user can gain the power of the stars for a short period of time or unleash a terrifying attack once every 5 days.
Looking at the items everyone had their mouths wide open. The bonuses and power of the items were as expected, overpowered for their levels right now. The question now was simple, who was going to get what item?
Wolf was given the armor while Reign got the katana as he was the only sword wielder in the party. Shadow got the Shadow Whisper as he was the only one that had darkness-related powers. The gloves went to Beast as he had no need for a scythe to use. In the end, Tank was the one who held the scythe, even though it was not a weapon he liked to use. His favorite way of fighting was either hacking his opponents or smashing them with a club. Using a scythe was more difficult and needed skill, he was determined to learn though, and was planning on spending time with his trainer to try and improve his proficiency with the scythe after going back to the castle.
[ Congratulations to the players for capturing a territory, player 06 will be put as the owner by default.]
[ As the players are still low-level some of the territory management will be locked until the players become stronger, for now, the players can inspect the territory statistics, build certain buildings and put taxes on various activities, and exile players from the territory. ]
Reign and the others quickly checked the functions of the territory management.
[ Unknown territory ]
Owner: Reign
Influence : 40 / 100
Wealth : 5 / 100
Power: 10 / 100
Buildings: 123
Looking at the stats they were all surprised, the numbers were of course given because of Eldar and the soldiers who were here. By killing the monsters and injuring the ape Eldar had made all the other monsters in the town deeply afraid of him, thus the territory influence became very high.
The wealth of the territory was what was left of the hobgoblin's weapons and gold, which was not a lot. The power stat was from the soldiers and Reign and the others, Eldar and Jack were not included as they were the owners of the castle.
Reign found options for building structures but they were a bit expensive. A small, 2-room house was 100 S coins. A big dormitory of sorts was 700 S Coins and could house 30 people in it. There were more expensive buildings such as blacksmith, Bar… Most of those can be ignored for now as the castle had all of that available. Only later when more players start joining their territory will they start building more stuff.
[Attention.]
[As players have captured a territory most of the safe zones in the town will be turned off in 15 days, please make your way to the player territory soon.]
[Player 06 will be unable to exile players without a good reason for now.]
