I had blacked out for a couple of seconds. Even when I came to myself, it was hard to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could read them now, but these emotions made it hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I decided to feel the changes, rather than reading them. I understand the skills better this way than just reading the names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is how I used to understand before I learned how to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It happened finally,\" I said as I felt the change in my class. I had been waiting for it for more than a year, and now, it has happened, and the result is better than I had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would see how different Wildlander Survivalist is from Officer, so it will take a while for them to merge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought it would first change before merging, but it seemed like I was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new class also feels more powerful than my old Wildlander Survivalist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advancement had also erased another worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was worried that it might take away my inheritance skills as I pivot from my ancestors' path, but my skills have advanced, becoming more than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survivor's Healing and Survivor's Protection had turned into Wildheart's Healing and Wildheart's Protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they are complete inheritance skills such as Rhythm of Wild. I had also gotten the Fourth Inheritance Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of my skills have advanced, and some have merged to form new ones. That feels far more powerful than their older version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard Practice, which was my training skill, had become Muscle Memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have read about this skill; it is indeed a valuable one. Some of the people I know possess it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am very excited about it, because Hard Practice has already helped me tremendously. Muscle Memory is going to help me even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Officer's Command had become Swift Orders. It is a more powerful version of the old skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keen had evolved into sharpness, but later merged with another skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to Iron Discipline, the new skill I got from Elite Officer, which had become even more powerful under Wildheart Commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many officers possess this skill, and I am pleased to have it as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have very few army skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is due to the inherited skills; those who possess them receive fewer skills than those who do not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This may not be rare, but it is a beneficial skill, and for a new officer like me with little experience. It will be helpful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt the skills for a while before turning to the skills that were upgraded and merged under my new class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My two inheritance skills, which were previously half-inheritance skills, are now full-inheritance skills, and they are very powerful. I'm eager to test them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My parry skill, Officer's Parry, has turned into Wild Parry, and it feels powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderous Charge becomes Feral Charge. It feels rugged, but Feral Word has made me a little worried. It is not the only skill that has got that word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a few army skills, and I hope it didn't deviate too from the original.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I liked the original one, quite a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same with Rallying Cry turning into Howling Cry. It became powerful, but it made me worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wildswing and Sharpness had merged, turning Razorwing Edge. I liked the name and the feel of it, so I want to test it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wild Dash and Officer's Run had turned into Feral Blitz. Once more, the word 'feral'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see the intensity of these skills, but also the wildness that I wanted to leave behind; however, here they have come in shining glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will test them, and if there is unpredictable quality, I will bring it under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed the worried thoughts away and turned to the last skill. The only new skill I got from my new class is an inheritance skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It feels very powerful, and it is an army skill. Which surprised me, but I'm glad to have an army skill and an inheritance one at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the skill that excited me most, and I want to test it as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My other skills, like Rhythm of Wild, Barrage of Steel, and a few others, remained the same, but only in name. They have transformed with the new class, becoming more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Rhythm of Wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was always powerful; now it is even more powerful. My three inheritance skills couldn't hold a candle to it. It's that powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Class and skills aren't the only things I have gained. I had levelled up, finally reaching Lv. 30, and with it, I got the attribute points, a lot of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got six from the Wildheart Commander and one from the Elite Officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been one or two, I knew where to put them; I would have done that already, but seven made things a little tricky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was thinking about that when the Rhythm of Wild sang, it was the clearest and loudest ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than it was in the wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I was amazed only for a moment, before I focused on the spike and the feeling it gave me, I realized it belonged to only one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my eyes and tried to get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay, the doctor said, you had nearly recovered, but he is keeping you in bed for today,\" said the bronze-skinned man as he stepped inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General,\" I greeted. I didn't stand up, but I did sit on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am in the hospital, in a small room, which felt even smaller with his presence, as it seemed to fill the whole room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you feeling, Orok?\" he asked. \"I could fight another battle, General,\" I replied, and immediately, it brought memories of the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people who had lost their lives due to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had made terrible mistakes in the battle; many people had lost their lives due to it,\" I said. I still remember their dead bodies as if it were only minutes ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am willing to accept any punishment you have for me,\" I added sombrely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't want to lose my position or be assigned anywhere else, but I had made a mistake, and a lot of people lost their lives due to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slowly looked at him, expecting disappointment, but there was only a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You had fought against two Lv. 30s, including a High-Mage. Many of our Lv. 30's and pre-Lv. 30's died facing the enemy High-Mages, and a lot of their people were killed,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, on the other hand, killed the High-Mage as well as a Lv. 30 warrior, despite not being Lv. 30.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, you made mistakes, but not big enough to warrant any punishment.\" He replied, and I felt relieved, but the weight of the deaths remained on my shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to understand that as he placed his hand on my shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you still feel guilty, then train harder with your men. Tomorrow, you will leave for Grelheaven. We had prepared special training for you,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, General,\" I said after a moment of silence, while he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations on your level-up. You have reached Lv. 30, finally,\" he congratulated. \"Yes, it happened,\" I replied, and a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashton Harbor\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will he survive?\" asked the Armored Man, looking at the unrecognisable body of Yark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is burned deeply from head to toe, with a potent fire. If I hadn't used my Protection of Knight, he would have turned to ashes on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he could die; the chances of it are very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have done what I can; now it is up to him,\" the man with the staff replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sounds tired; he is. For hours, he had been working on Yark, casting spell after spell, feeding him potions and other things to save him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That artifact had truly messed him up,\" I said with a sigh. My skill isn't weak, but despite that, the enemy had brought him to the death's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's draconic flames, they are extremely dangerous,\" replied the man with the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows that very well. He had fought against the draconic artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed, and we watched in silence before we walked toward the door, leaving him to fight for his survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We had reached the door and were about to step out when we both suddenly stopped. There was shock on our faces, but a moment later, smiles lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The region is ours, nobody will be able to stop us now!\" the armored man stated, looking at the burned body with pride and hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Conditions Met: Bane Spearman – Bane Spearman of Vengeance]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane Spearman of Vengeance Lv. 40\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap the Patreon link below to unlock 20+ advanced chapters, or join Free to enjoy character art, maps, and more exclusive content!\u003C\u002Fp>",1739,"2026-06-09T06:55:04.513Z",1,"novelbin.me","1eaac4fa8852cee0e80b7e536b9f474a1c160f7b91c585bf294c1bc9f92d8caf","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-676","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-674",917,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcity-of-desire-kingdom-building-cover.jpg"]
