Starting Life as a Baron

7: Magic Attack, The War begins!

Upon hearing the First Prince's praise for him, Alan accepted it without blushing.

"His Highness, we need to make preparations as soon as possible. I have already sent someone to inform the others that we will encounter the enemy in half an hour and told them to get ready."

Alan said softly: "I think the mage squad also needs to prepare."

"Have you already delivered the message? Alan, it looks like I didn’t misjudge you. You did a good job!"

Leonard smiled. Now he found Alan more and more pleasing to the eye.

"I'm going to get the mage squad ready for battle."

Lexie immediately volunteered and ran out.

Alan smiled and said to Leonard: "Your Highness, I'll go out first."

He immediately turned around and left.

Looking at Alan's departing back, a strange light flashed in Leonard's eyes.

Previously, he only felt that Alan was different from others. Leonard was only willing to interact with Alan because of the Silver Moon Wolf. After all, his sister, Lexie, liked the Silver Moon Wolf very much.

However, it seemed that this young Lord was completely beyond his imagination.

"He's a talented person."

Leonard showed a smile.

Soon half an hour passed, and the fleet encountered some islands over the sea.

These islands were not far from each other, and they were densely packed with mountains, making it impossible for anyone to see what was going on inside.

When Alan saw this, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

At this moment, their ships stopped not far from these small islands.

At the same time, the twenty mages brought by the prince and the princess cast magic.

This was the first time Alan had seen a mage take action. They wore black robes and held a magic scepter in their hands. They were standing together and chanting the same magic.

Soon, under everyone's shocked gazes, a huge, fiery-red, mysterious magic array suddenly appeared in the sky above the island.

"Fire God’s Sigh!"

All the mages raised the magic scepter in their hands at the same time. Alan could clearly feel that the surrounding magic elements were moving violently.

Countless fire and earth elements gathered near the magic array in the sky.

In the next moment, something happened that shocked Alan.

Huge stones with raging flames fell from the huge fiery-red magic array.

Countless meteorites fell from the sky as if it was raining.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, all the islands were set ablaze, and the fire instantly engulfed the entire sea.

"Ahhh!"

"No!"

"Magic, it's magic!"

"Ah! Help!"

Under the attack of magic, the ships of the Blue Moon Principality that were originally hidden between the islands were immediately destroyed.

The terrifying magic destroyed and burned their ships.

All the troops of the Blue Moon Principality that were hiding there were wiped out almost instantly.

Alan did not pay much attention to this.

Soon, the screams gradually disappeared. It was obvious that the people inside were almost cold.

"Ding, congratulations host. You have obtained 700 merit points!"

"The war mission is activated. The nation war has begun, and the merit store is open!"

Alan immediately revealed a look of surprise.

The beginning of the war mission and the opening of the merit store were not a surprise for him. After all, he had already known about it.

He was surprised because he had actually obtained 700 merit points.

He couldn’t help but wonder what was going on?

Neither Alan nor his subordinates had made a move, so how did he get such a large amount of merit points?

"Ding, the host obtained these points because he played a decisive role in this action. Although the host didn't directly defeat his opponent, he made a huge contribution. That’s why the host was rewarded with one-third of the merit points."

The system immediately explained.

Alan's eyes lit up.

"Does it mean that in addition to directly defeating the enemy, I can still get merit points by making more contributions?"

"That's right."

The system replied affirmatively.

"Yes!"

Alan could not help but whisper.

At the same time, he started to check the merit store opened by the system.

"Species Column?"

"Dragon (Legendary Creature): 500,000 merit points!"

"Behemoth (Overlord creature): 300,000 merits!"

"Giant (Overlord creature): 250,000 merits!"

"Griffin (Magical creature): 8000 merits!"

"Siren (Magical Creature): 8,000 merit points!"

……

A dense list of species appeared in front of Alan, which dazzled and shocked him at the same time.

This price was not the price of unlocking the species, but the price of directly purchasing one.

"… It's so expensive!"

Alan smacked his lips and looked at the next column.

"The Spirits of Nature."

"Spirit of Nature: 10,000 merit points!"

"Fairy: 100,000 merit points!"

"Spirit of Holy Nature: 500,000 merits!"

Alan: "… It's still too expensive!"

He continued to look at the other columns ‘Weapons', ‘Gold', ‘Experience points', and ‘Acceleration Cards'…

After looking at them, Alan became serious. At this moment, what he wanted the most was to meet the enemy, a large number of enemies!
