With Talon as his ride, it only took Liam 10 seconds to reach the town and he immediately dived right in.
He had already taken a lot of detours and he couldn't afford to waste any more time.
He hurried to the central square and saw the bunch of familiar faces who were almost as eager as him.
Liam waved his hand and called forth all of them. The number of demons waiting for him had now doubled.
It looked like everybody had survived the last invasion, so there were now ten of them waiting in front of him.
All of them had big smiles on their faces, clearly very happy to see Liam.
However, when they rushed over to Liam, they saw him smiling as well and for some unknown reason, they started subconsciously sweating.
"Let's start an invasion first."
Liam continued smiling and tore open the first portal scroll without explaining much.
And thus began the never-ending grind…
Liam wore the black mask on his face and he and his team of demons started invading Xion without any break.
Since these were the special war missions, every single one of them landed the group in places filled with at least a few players.
And this time, Liam did not hold back.
He used Talon, his golems, the grenades, every single thing in his disposition, and massacred all the living breathing beings in his sight.
It did not matter if they were players, beasts, monsters, or other races, everyone was killed without any prejudice.
All the demon beasts in his team as well gained a new type of respect for him.
Liam recruited the two groups of demons alternatingly and continued doing the invasion missions without any rest.
So while his demon lackeys at least got some downtime, he continued tirelessly cutting down the enemies and engaging in battles.
Everyone couldn't help but appreciate his battle prowess and mental strength. To fight continuously like this also required a certain type of willpower.
And their squad leader definitely had that talent. Inspired by his actions, they also fought to the best of their capabilities.
They continued grinding out one mission after another and slowly but steadily, loots, gold, experience points, and contribution points began piling up.
Soon, their squad began to slowly rise to the top.
Their ranking continuously kept on increasing as they cleared missions back to back with resounding success.
And to the dismay of the envious demon beast at the token counter, Liam as well donated the maximum loot to the war chest every single time.
He was never lacking gold to begin with and now that he had all the gold he had earned from the PVP arena betting, the progress was very smooth.
In just a couple of days, the entire Thol city came to know about this new terrifying squad.
And Liam as well successfully managed to fill out his required million contribution points for the next upgrade, finally stepping out of the squad leader rank.
[Ding. Your rank has been upgraded]
[Rank: Platoon Leader] (0/100,000,000)
[Ding. You are now able to recruit up to 30 soldiers]
"100 million contribution points?" Liam coldly gazed at the notifications.
They had to run about twenty invasion missions just to gather 1 million contribution points. So a 100 million contribution points was an astronomically high number.
But this was to be expected since a platoon leader can command a huge group of 30 demon soldiers.
The next rank might have an even more terrifying amount of power and a lot of demon soldiers' lives would inevitably depend on the commander.
So a promotion from the platoon leader rank would not be easy.
But Liam wasn't all the concerned about these ranks. His main goal was to power level using these missions.
Every single level after 30 required a lot of experience points. Not to mention that Liam was at Level 40. So the experience points required for leveling up were even higher.
After grinding for 96 hours straight, he only managed to bring his current level to 42.
"Hmmm… So each level is taking about 48 hours…" Liam silently pondered.
"48 hours is one day, and considering that higher levels should be taking a bit more time… so to reach Level 50, I will need about 2 to 3 weeks."
Liam closed his eyes and sighed inwardly. That amount of time was not acceptable. That was not something he could afford right now.
"I can't waste 3 weeks in just running these invasions back to back." Liam shook his head. "Also, I don't think I will have the chance to do that."
"The main assault should be starting soon. What should I do now?" He then facepalmed, realizing that he had completely overlooked something very obvious.
"I almost missed this. Maybe I should take a break soon."
It took him 48 hours to level up once when he was a squad leader, so now that he was a platoon leader, shouldn't they be getting more experience points and also higher contribution points?
Liam closed his eyes, meditating silently to clear his mind a bit, and then made a decision.
"Ok. I should first activate another invasion mission as a platoon leader and then evaluate everything again after getting a full detailed idea about the rewards."
He went to his anti-fan who was still manning the counter and asked for the platoon invasion missions.
Since they involved teleporting more soldiers, these scrolls were different than the ones that squad leaders typically used.
"What? Why do you need these?" The demon gruffly blurted out and the next second, he abruptly stood up, almost falling down from his wooden stool.
