Speaking of which, it's quite interesting that Zong Shen hadn't checked the attributes of this piece of equipment in the past two days of obtaining it.

A grand piece of Purple Rare Level equipment almost got forgotten by Zong Shen.

This is a magic staff, a long staff, without any gemstones embedded at the top.

The entire body is silver-white, and the staff is engraved with circles of elemental runes.

These runes are perfectly natural, seemingly born together with the Dragon Blood Water Element, stained with the power of Arcane Magic, making the elements around the staff incredibly active.

Even without a magic talent, Zong Shen could sense the extraordinary nature of this staff.

The other mages were even more fixated on the staff, as its allure is significant for any mage.

It wasn't until he was about to reward this piece of equipment that Zong Shen had a chance to look at its attributes.

[Elemental Commander's Banner (Purple)]

[One-Handed]

[Quality: Rare]

[Magic Damage: 46~49]

[Blunt Damage: 21~24]

Passive Skills: Elemental Affinity lv5 (Greatly enhances sensing ability to magic elements, reduces chanting time by 20%, reduces magic consumption by 20%)]

(A versatile piece of equipment for the mage class, can greatly increase elemental control, and improve casting efficiency)

Though previously overlooked by Zong Shen, when it comes to attributes, this piece of equipment is even better than the Spider Queen's Staff, particularly noticeable in its boost to casting efficiency.

His gaze left the equipment in hand, seeing Milani before him, single-kneeled, eagerly anticipating.

Zong Shen then came to his senses, and without much hesitation, handed over the [Elemental Commander's Banner (Purple)] to her.

When bestowing rewards, one must not hesitate, or it would diminish the lord's inherent demeanor.

Milani accepted the staff gratefully, unable to set it aside as she held it closely.

[Due to your reward and care]

[Water Mage Milani's Loyalty to you increased by 15 points, current Loyalty 90]

As a newly recruited soldier in the territory, being rewarded by Zong Shen with equipment so quickly was an immense honor for her, and she was already feeling fortunate.

Being recruited by a lord like Zong Shen was definitely her luck.

In this life, as long as she followed Zong Shen, she would have the chance to live a different life.

Having bestowed the rewards and distributed the Enhancement Pearls, Zong Shen waved his hand and led the warriors into their routine night hunt.

He still focused on clearing the Burrow Monsters around the frontline Burrow Position.

Because the frontline position acts as a line of defense for the territory and, in a sense, as an isolated island, with no complete walls and a lack of numerous defensive buildings.

It relies on some basic buildings to block terrain, combined with the formation led by Wenresa and the soldiers, to swiftly strangle the newly spawned Burrow Monsters promptly.

Ensuring that this burrow opening could not gather and form a wave of monsters.

But the frontline position indeed bears the greatest pressure.

While this burrow could perfectly suppress them, in one area, besides this burrow, there are 999 other burrows, and the monsters spawned from these will be partially slain by various lords, but many more will form real waves of Burrow Monsters.

Especially when the neighboring lords around Zong Shen suffer increased casualties, high-density monster distribution areas will emerge, and by then, the Burrow Frontline will be the first to be destroyed.

Here, the frontline position is like a nail embedded in the monster waves, serving a huge purpose.

The longer the frontline position exists, the more it can slay two to three thousand monsters daily.

Thus effectively reducing the monster density around the territory.

As for the territory itself, it is protected by walls, with numerous defensive buildings and dedicated patrolling soldiers, thus the pressure compares less to the unsupported frontline position.

Therefore, Zong Shen focused the clearance all here. This time, he again patrolled kilometers around with the soldiers.

All the Burrow Monsters along the way weren't spared, including a monster group totaling over five hundred.

Under the Fire Rain and various group attack magic, they moved like a steel blade through the monster group vicinity.

Every contact significantly reduced or thinned the monster group, and the efficiency of strangulation was considerable, as the entire group was eliminated within ten minutes.

Leaving behind a large area of plague land emitting a faint yellow-green miasma.

Today's monsters included a small number of new species, and some of their attributes increased by about 15%.

These were likely newly refreshed second-level monsters today, mixed with first-level monsters, roughly one-third of the total count.

The mixed monster group slightly increased the kill difficulty, particularly affecting attack prediction.

The pressure from the second-level monsters still wasn't too overwhelming for Zong Shen.

Yet, if the strength subtly increased by 15%, by the last two or three days, the monster's strength could increase by nearly one-fold compared to first-level.

Zong Shen cleared all monsters within several kilometers around the frontline position, leveling up directly to lv18, gaining more than 4800 experience points.

Nothing else can be said; these Burrow Monsters are incredibly efficient for farming.

The Burrow Monster traffic is sluggish, so it likely won't regroup for a few hours.

Opening [Cave Points], it rose from 5497 this morning to 9679.

The score increased over four thousand in these sixteen to seventeen hours, outperforming yesterday's efficiency.

This implies the overall kill efficiency of the territory is continuously increasing.

After completing the night hunt, Zong Shen led the team back to the territory, allowing the soldiers' free rest.

He retrieved the resources listed in the market and re-posted eight portions of [Moon Holy Water].

Contemplating whether to soak in the hot spring again for relaxation.

Just wondering if those hot spring companions from last night would show up again.

Zong Shen stretched lazily, heading toward the hot spring cottage.

Not far away, Favide, Lensa Shattered Claw, Korby, and the male warriors gathered in two groups, and upon seeing Zong Shen, Korby quickly approached to bow and salute.

"My lord, we were thinking of taking a bath by the creek..."
