Chapter 766: Third eye
Regardless of the civilization the Silver-Eyed People possessed, it would be no easy task for Orion and Leonidas’s allied forces to defeat and conquer them.
Facing the Silver-Eyed People was completely different from facing Bloodreavers and infernal beings.
The latter two were interdinsional races, rely branches of darker races, and had not brought their important civilizations or technology with them.
Therefore, defeating them could be achieved through simple violence.
However, against the Silvermoon Empire, Orion and Leonidas would have to face not only powerful Archlords but also the enemy’s strategies and technology.
The latter would be a significant test for the allied forces.
"Co, little bro, let
show you a new plaything."
Leonidas flipped his right hand, and a small glass bottle appeared in his palm.
Inside the glass bottle was a shining silver eye.
"This is..."
Orion reached out, took the glass bottle to examine it closely, and sensed a special power emanating from within it.
"This is a Silver-Eyed person’s third eye, a very special eye."
Another eye appeared in Leonidas’s hand.
This ti, however, the eye was not contained in a glass bottle but was embedded in Leonidas’s palm.
Orion saw it clearly; just now, Leonidas’s palm had seed to split open, revealing the silver eye hidden beneath the skin.
"Little bro, watch closely!"
Leonidas raised his right hand, and silver light condensed within the silver eye.
A mont later, a beam of silver light shot out, pulverizing a nearby stone table.
"Hehehe, what do you think? Isn’t this thing fun?"
Leonidas’s palm flashed again, and a small hole was pierced through a distant stone wall.
"A pity, though. After its energy is depleted each ti, you have to wait for it to reconsolidate its power."
Orion frowned, staring at the eye in Leonidas’s palm, lost in deep thought.
Firstly, Leonidas wouldn’t produce such a thing to tease Orion for no reason.
For a Legendary peak powerhouse like Orion, the silver eye’s power was akin to a re tickle.
Secondly, why was the silver eye embedded in Leonidas’s palm?
Unless this thing could be grafted, and with minimal rejection.
"Bro, this silver eye—does every Silver-Eyed person possess one?"
Orion already had a conjecture in mind but needed further confirmation.
Leonidas nodded, then shook his head.
"Theoretically, every Silver-Eyed person possesses a third eye."
"However, to awaken the third eye and the special ability nurtured within it, a Silver-Eyed person’s strength must at least reach the hero level."
"According to the Silver-Eyed People’s own terminology, they must reach their so-called regint level to awaken the third eye."
Orion showed a puzzled expression; it was the first ti he had heard of such a classification as regint level.
"It’s simple. The Silver-Eyed People divide their strength into soldier level, regint level, general level, commander level, and god-level."
"These correspond to our ranks of elite, hero, Alpha, Legendary, and demigod."
Orion had a sudden realization, a general idea forming in his mind.
"Bro, different people, different eyes—do they nurture different special abilities?"
"Hehe, that’s right!"
"Can other races also transplant them?"
"They can. The one transplanted into my palm is just for experintation. I just wanted to investigate it, to see if there are any other hidden dangers."
Orion fell silent for a short while. The Silver-Eyed People possessed a special third eye, and other races could even seize it.
"Rear them in captivity!"
After a long pause, Orion slowly uttered these words.
Leonidas burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"We thought of the sa thing!"
Leonidas reached out and clapped Orion’s shoulder, a strong sense of mutual appreciation between kindred spirits.
To put it plainly, the Silver-Eyed People’s third eye was a rare resource, a special weapon, and also a way to build foundation.
Since Orion beca the chieftain of the Blackstone Tribe, the tribe had been engaged in constant campaigns.
In the course of these battles, countless people had suffered eye injuries, eventually leading to blindness and forcing them to retire from combat units.
"It could be said that the appearance of the Silver-Eyed People offered salvation to this group within the Stoneheart Horde."
If the third eyes of the Silver-Eyed People were plundered and transplanted onto mbers of the Stoneheart Horde...
Would those people regain their combat effectiveness?
Would their talents change in any way?
In this way, the Stoneheart Horde’s foundation would also be strengthened.
A fervent gleam gradually intensified in Orion’s eyes. He looked towards the north, beyond the mountains, his gaze filled with aggression.
"Go, finish your business quickly. Then we head north and enslave them!"
In Leonidas’s view, the value of the Silver-Eyed People surpassed that of territory and so strategic materials.
In fact, not only Orion’s Stoneheart Horde needed the third eye, but the factions behind Edward, Leonidas, Alexander, Kraken, and Isabella also needed it.
Even the factions behind all survivors needed it.
The Silver-Eyed People’s third eye was not just foundational; it was also a ans to build a fortune.
Orion was tempted!
"Bro, I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things here."
"After I retrieve the Spring of Life, we’ll plan this out properly."
Leonidas laughed heartily, nodding while reminding Orion,
"The stronger the Silver-Eyed person, the more powerful their third eye."
"Tell those subordinates of yours not to let them miss out on these treasures."
...
Dawn Continent, Shadowcrag Forest.
This was the territory of Lolth, Queen of the Blind Spiders, but it had now beco the headquarters for Alexander and Isabella’s allied forces.
After annexing the territories of two nearby lords, Alexander and Isabella’s advance had been halted.
It wasn’t that Alexander was unwilling to fight desperately, but it was simply unnecessary.
Because once he appeared, two of the enemy’s Archlords would mobilize: one to tie him down, and the other to directly sweep through the allied forces he brought.
In a previous failed invasion, Alexander had lost a precious shadow assassin due to such circumstances.
If Alexander hadn’t retreated from the battle in ti, Spider Queen Lolth and Isabella might have perished.
"Master, the enemy has surrounded our territory, and many of my subjects have died in battle again."
"The good news is, after this wave of attrition, the enemy’s offensive has weakened considerably."
Lolth’s delicate brows were tightly furrowed. She wasn’t pained by the deaths of her spider subjects.
After she signed the contract, Deputy Commander Edward had bestowed a batch of resources upon her, and Alexander’s arrival had also provided her with so.
It could be said that Lolth had enough resources to last her a hundred years just by staying in her lair and consuming them.
"Have all the corpses been promptly converted into skeletons?"
"Mm, they’ve been converted!"
In truth, it was precisely because of this that Spider Queen Lolth had the courage to remain in her lair and not flee.
There were simply too many enemies besieging her territory; she was surrounded on all sides by factions of evil races.
