Chapter 1321: Lu Pain in the Ass

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The more important Bukmid was to Marshal Maxwell, the greater the rewards.

It would have been great if Bukmid was Maxwell’s own son, but unfortuantely, he wasn’t. However, this didn’t affect Maxwell’s gratefulness towards Lu Li at all, since Bukmid was actually Maxwell’s nephew. It was said that Marshal Maxwell’s younger brother died in battle while protecting Maxwell, leaving behind his only son.

Maxwell would rather lose his own son than lose his deceased brother’s only son.

Bukmid explained everything that had happened. He was a little generous in his explanation as he exaggerated the works of Lu Li and his team. According to Bukmid, Lu Li brought around ten people to rescue him and his legion from the brink of death. Then, the few thousand reinforcements crushed the Orc Shaman’s army. The evidence was the rows and rows of slain Orcs.

“My judgment was correct after all,” Marshal Maxwell said as he released his nephew and hugged Lu Li tightly.

Maxwell may have looked old, but he was still extremely strong. Lu Li was almost unable to breathe. Once again, Lu Li noted that this was his duty, and that no responsible citizen of Azeroth or a warrior of the Alliance would stand by and watch a comrade in a dire situation.

Without waiting for the cunning side of Lu Li to say anything, Maxwell immediately showed just how grateful he was.

“I must reward you for your efforts.”

“Long live the Alliance!” Lu Li cried out as he balled his fist then thumped his left chest loudly.

“Under the authority of the Alliance, I appoint you as a Captain of the Alliance,” Marshal Maxwell announced as he unsheathed his blade and tapped Lu Li on his shoulders.

Huh? Lu Li wanted to slap Maxwell.

What is this crap?

The title of a Captain?

Lu Li was already much higher in the rankings, and titles weren’t that useful anyway! All they did was add some extra properties. He might have already been a General! A PVP-crazed player like Moonlight was already a Governor, which was higher than a General.

Giving a rank was already bad enough, but only giving the title of a Captain?

On second thought, did the ranks even have a Captain? Lu Li quickly pulled out the PVP menu and skimmed the titles, but didn’t see ‘Captain’ anywhere.

Azeroth had a 21-title ranking from Soldier to Grand Marshal.

The Horde might have been slightly different, but Lu Li was sure that the title of Captain or Major did not exist in the PVP ranks.

Unless, this title didn’t belong in the players’ systems, but the NPC’s systems?

NPC: There’s an infiltrator!

Lu Li quickly found his answer. Lu Li, Race: Dark Elf. Captain of the Alliance. Able to call for 10 soldiers for reinforcements in Allied missions.

Furthermore, there was also a new effect regarding Commanding points. Lu Li had 10 points, which was also why he could only have 10 soldiers at a time. The description of the new effect read that if the soldiers under Lu Li’s command died in battle, then Lu Li would also lose Commanding points.

As such, this would be extremely useful when in difficult situations, but it would be unwise to use it casually.

This was similar to his Vol’Jin’s Battle Standard. The effects were extremely good, but he was afraid of bringing it.

Vol’Jin’s Battle Standard (Special): After placing down the Battle Standard, the Battle Standard raises allies’ stats by 50% Attack and 50% Defence within 100m. Duration: 60 seconds. Additional effect: Heals allies by 5% of their Max HP every 2 seconds within the range of the Battle Standard. Duration: 30 seconds. Cooldown: 6 hours. Drops upon death.

Drops upon death – this was somewhat similar to the Captain effect. Losing one soldier meant losing some Commanding points.

Even after saving his nephew and a few hundred Allied soldiers, he only gave 10 points? Commanding points must have been extremely precious, and Lu Li had no idea on how to increase his.

In his previous life, Lu Li hadn’t even heard of this Commanding point system. It must have been something reserved for the top players.

It was coincidence that Lu Li ended up in the middle of a war between NPCs. How many people would be able to join the fray like he did? Furthermore, Maxwell might not have even given the title if he did not know the player.

Besides the effect of being able to deploy 10 soldiers, it also gave Lu Li +10 all stats.

“Other than the title, I can also improve your strength,” Marshal Maxwell offered. He was clearly in a good mood after finding his nephew. “However, you have two choices. One is to have this reward to yourself. The second choice is to share this reward with everyone,” he continued to say.

This was a no-brainer.

“Of course, it should be given to everyone! As a leader, I must take care of my squad members,” Lu Li replied with an affirmative voice.

After hearing this, Maxwell was extremely satisfied with his answer. He nodded his head while saying, “Then I will follow with what you said. To show my gratitude and admiration towards you, everyone who has helped with this rescue can freely hire the soldiers here to fight against the scum Drakkisath.

“Your generosity surely exceeds the heavens,” Lu Li said with a grateful heart.

Lu Li had nothing else to say. After all, the reward of being able to take soldiers from the camp to help fight against Drakkisath was already too good.

Then, Lu Li received a message from the System saying that he had gained Reputation and Experience.

Other people received the same notice. Lu Li did not expect for the Experience to be high, since it was shared among a few thousand people. However, upon the realisation that he could have had all of it, his heart hurt a little. After all, he could have reached level 60.

Lu Li was right. If he chose to receive all the rewards for himself, the Experience points given would have been enough to raise him to level 60.

However, he would have also lost the reward of being able to freely deploy soldiers from the camp.

As a selfish guy, Maxwell had truly been generous this time.

Although Lu Li felt a twinge of regret, he decided to use this reward to its fullest potential by setting each of the few thousand people to be squad leaders. Then, each person would be able to deploy their own party of soldiers, instead of what Maxwell originally thought, which was to have the few thousand people split in groups of 15 and have their own soldiers.

Lu Pain in the Ass was not just a worthless nickname after all, even when facing a Marshal.
