In short, exchanging for the Marquis title was still very difficult. In the current situation, being an Earl was enough. Li Cheng did not need to rush to exchange for the Marquis title just to improve his status.
At this time, Assilia looked at Li Cheng in surprise. There were not many Earls in the entire Church of Light, let alone someone like Li Cheng.
Not only was Li Cheng a non-believer, but he was also the fastest to exchange for the Earl’s title in history. It took him less than three days to do so. The most recent Earl title that had been exchanged was five years ago, by the current commander of their army, Vic.
At that time, he had killed two Legendary-grade demons in the battle against the demons and saved a medium-sized city. At the same time, he was also heavily injured. If it wasn’t for the God of Light’s miracle, Vic would definitely not have survived.
Not to mention the title of a Knight of the Church of Light, any normal knight would have to climb out of the pile of dead people to be awarded.
So, what did Li Cheng do? At this moment, Asilia was full of curiosity toward Li Cheng, hoping that he could answer her question.
Unfortunately, Li Cheng was not interested in this topic, nor did he have the intention to talk to her. Instead, he opened the shop of the Church of Light.
It was worth mentioning that the Earl’s title did not unlock more types of soldiers and equipment in the shop. He glanced at the column of soldiers and thought for a moment. Then, he said, “I want all of the soldiers in this shop.”
Asilia was stunned. All the types of soldiers? She even suspected that she had heard wrong and could not help but ask again, “What did you say, Your Excellency?”
“I said, I want all the troops here,” Li Cheng repeated.
“Okay, but it’ll take some time for us to gather them,” Asilia quickly explained. She took a few deep breaths and suppressed the shock in her heart.
After saying that, Asilia stuck out her tongue. Obviously, she was shocked by Li Cheng again. She vaguely remembered the first time she met him. She even asked him how to get along with the Goddess. Only a few days had passed and everything was different.
At this time in the battle conference room, more than 10 people had solemn expressions. There was a deep shock in all of them.
Just a few seconds ago, they had received a notification from the system. Li Cheng had successfully exchanged for the Earl title, which shocked countless people’s jaws open.
What did this mean?
This meant that in the entire City of Light, other than the archbishop and the Saintess who were not in charge, only Vic and Li Cheng were at the same level. As for the others, they had to listen to Li Cheng’s orders. This was the rule of the Church of Light!
In today’s battle meeting, Li Cheng and Vic would jointly formulate the strategy for this battle. Of course, Vic would still be the leader. After all, he was the commander of the Church of Light.
Suddenly, a paladin ran in, filled with panic. He looked nervous and panted heavily as he went directly to Vic’s side and said anxiously, “The Earl Netherworld has bought all the troops!”
Hearing this, Vic almost could not catch his breath. He remembered when Li Cheng did the same thing last time. Vic was a little speechless. ‘You’re an Earl, can’t you save some for the others?’
After all, the shop of the Church of Light was open to everyone. If one had enough contribution points, it would be fine even if they bought all of them.
However, what was the situation now? The Church of Light was extremely short on troops. After Li Cheng bought all of them, they did not have any more troops for the other players!
Vic was very glad that he and the archbishop had removed the Legendary soldiers and a few divine weapons from the shelves. Otherwise, he would not even have a place to cry at this time.
Li Cheng had already left the Holy Maiden’s location and was heading toward the battle conference room. After he left, a few players excitedly walked into the church.
“Hahaha, powerful paladins, wait for me, I’m coming!”
“Hehe, I worked all night yesterday and completed quite a few missions. Now, my contribution points can be exchanged for dozens of level three soldiers!”
“At this rate, it won’t be long before I have a powerful army. How nice!”
Very soon, they came to Asilia’s side and said happily.
“Miss Saintess, we want to exchange for military services!”
When Asilia heard this, she felt a headache coming on. However, she still smiled apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, all our military services have been exchanged. If you want to exchange for military services, you’ll have to wait a while.”
Those players could not believe what they had heard. When Asilia saw this, she repeated it apologetically. Then, those players collectively wailed.
“F*ck, what’s going on?”
“Who has nothing better to do after eating their fill? Did they exchange for all the military units? I had to work all night to collect all the contribution points. Damn it!”
“F*ck, who did this? Sob, sob, sob…”
“This is too unfair. Leave some for us!”
Naturally, Li Cheng did not know the reactions of the other players. Even if he did, he would not care. He had already arrived outside the battle conference room.
A few paladins standing at the door saw Li Cheng. Their pupils constricted as they immediately saluted, “Sir Earl, please, come in!”
“Okay.” Li Cheng nodded lightly. After they opened the door, he walked in immediately.
Once he entered the room, everyone’s gaze fell on Li Cheng. Then, they ordered him to stand up.
“Congratulations on becoming an Earl!”
“The Church of Light has Earl Netherworld. Those evil forces will definitely tremble!”
“I knew that you were a kind person the moment I met you, Earl Netherworld. To be able to obtain the approval of the God of Light, you’re truly as I expected!”
“Greetings, Your Excellency, Earl Netherworld. Let me introduce myself first. I’m…”
All the commanders stood up to welcome him. The paladins of the Church of Light were not blockheads. Li Cheng was now an Earl. If he gave up his territory and joined the Church of Light, he would immediately become the commander of the army.
Of course, Li Cheng would not give up his territory. Even so, building a good relationship with him was beneficial to them. Moreover, he had become an Earl in just three days. His future was limitless, it was immeasurable!
Li Cheng nodded in response to these people who had shown goodwill. Even if he had no relationship with them, he would not bully others just because he was an Earl. Who knows, someone might attack his territory in the future. He would still need these people to help him.
After greeting them, Li Cheng went to Vic’s side and sat down on his left.
Seeing Li Cheng sit down, commander Vic did not hesitate. He clapped his hands and said, “Alright, Earl Netherworld has arrived. Let’s start today’s meeting!”
