Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

After breaking the Named Summoning Scrolls, 1-Star Summons began to emerge from the energy pool one after another.

First, three Warriors emerged, wearing ordinary leather armors and wielding a longsword. Following the three Warriors, six Spearman, five Archers, five Vanguards and four Assassins stepped out of the energy pool, filling the Summoning Gate's vicinity with 1-Star Combat Summons.

Last but not least a group of five heavy-armored Cavalry Riders emerged out of the Summoning Gate, wielding a large lance and shield while riding on a battle horse.

Every Summon of the Named Summoning Scroll was a Combatant. They wore ordinary combat equipment and wielded weapons of decent quality. If a battle was to break out right now, they would be ready to fight immediately.

'The Warriors are the weakest combat unit. That's great.' Michael thought with a bright smile on his lips.

Out of the 31 1-Star Summons that had emerged from the Ordinary Summoning Scrolls, eight Warriors, three Archers and two Spearmen had been added to his Military Power. That meant, the total strength of his Combat Units had reached to 41 today…and he had yet to add the Summons of the Mythic Summoning Scrolls.

The Summons of the Mythic Summoning Scrolls didn't rush to step outside the Summoning Gate. It felt like the Will of the Origin Expanse was still determining what his Summons would be.

However, Michael was already very satisfied. He had expanded his Military Power by 41 Combat Units, but that was not everything. Many new 1-Star Subjects with a wide variety of occupations were added to his territory as well.

There were weavers, a carpenter, a potter, an artist, a tailor, masons, surveyors, a pub owner, a financial manager, craftsmen, gardener, a cook and a librarian.

Some of these 1-Star Summons were exactly what Michael needed. For example, he was happy to find masons, a pub owner and a financial manager.

They were important either for the expansion of his territory, to make sure that his subjects would have a place to meet, drink and have fun after working hard all day, and someone to look after the administrative affairs when he would leave to do something outside his territory, or outside the Origin Expanse.

Just as Michael was about to call up some of his new subjects, he sensed a change in the Summoning Gate. He turned back to the gate and focused on the most important summons for today.

A total of 20 Summons with the lowest possible rating being 2-Stars had arrived today. He even had a decent chance of summoning one or two 3-Star Summons!

The Summoning Gate's energy pool startled to ripple wildly. Simultaneously, two brightly shining stars shone on the surface of the Gate's outer ring.

At last, the outlines of more than ten people entered Michael's view. The 2-Star Summons stepped out of the Summoning Gate simultaneously.

Michael's eyes shot wide open and his grin turned wider than before – if that was possible, in the first place. Following the first batch of a dozen 2-Star Summons, four more 2-Star Summons emerged out of the energy pool.

Three of them were chubby men wearing expensive clothes. They radiated the presence of wealthy merchants.

Michael had yet to find proper businessmen among his subjects which was why he was delighted to summon a few merchants. However, his attention was quickly moved to the gigantic summon that stepped out of the energy pool right behind the chubby merchants.

The chubby merchants turned around when the ground beneath them began to tremble, and they nearly pissed their pants. One of the three merchants let out a shrill scream before he fainted on the spot. Meanwhile, the remaining two merchants began to run as if their lives depended on it.

Michael couldn't take offense with that. Even he was astonished. The 16th 2-Star Summon that had emerged from the energy pool today was not an ordinary Summon. No, it was far from ordinary.

It was actually a monster; a Heavy Armored Elephant, a monster with a height of more than four meters and a weight close to 12 tons. It had two long and deadly tusks, and thick gray skin that shielded it from most injuries.

Even Michael was not confident breaking a Heavy Armored Elephant's armor-like skin. It wouldn't be easy at least.

"Oh my gosh…" Michael blurted out loud enough for the people around him to hear clearly.

However, nobody focused on Michael. Everyone's attention was pulled to the Heavy Armored Elephant, which looked around in confusion, turning its head in all directions until it found Michael.

A faint Link of Loyalty was already forming between him and his newly summoned subjects. This included the Link of Loyalty of the Heavy Armored Elephant that stepped closer to him with loud steps as its legs created big craters in the ground.

The earth around the Summoning Gate trembled as the 12-ton monster paved its way through the sea of people. It didn't pay much attention to others, and only focused on Michael.

Once the Heavy Armored Elephant was only four meters away from reaching Michael, it bent its front legs and lowered its head to the ground.

To Michael and everyone else present, it looked like the Heavy Armored Elephant was bowing to him. The bow was a sign of respect and reverence toward its Lord by the Heavy Armored Elephant.

It had accepted Michael as its Lord and Master almost immediately!

"I didn't expect to summon someone like you. Nonetheless, I'm glad that you heed the call of my summon. I am very happy to welcome you in my territory," Michael said in a cheerful manner once he regained his senses.

He was still a little bit shocked that he was able to make a monster submit to the Link of Loyalty so soon. However, that was for the better. It would make many things much easier.

Interestingly enough, the Heavy Armored Elephant was only one of many surprising 2-Star Summons. It stole the spotlight due to its enormous size, but it was not the only odd summon.

Michael also recalled summoning a woman with fluffy rabbit ears, and a young man with feathered wings sprouting out of his shoulder blades.

He couldn't see them right now since most of his view was blocked out by the huge body of the Heavy Armored Elephant, but he could swear that he had definitely seen these two oddballs.

Michael turned to his right side, where Tiara was standing, trying her best to maintain her poker face and composure. She had appeared next to him at one point during the mass summoning.

"Please make a list of all the new Summons. Write down their gender, age, health, star rating including their occupation, what they want to do, where they were born before the Will resurrected, and so on," Michael ordered quietly.

Tiara bowed deeply and responded politely, "Your wish is my command, Master!"

Saying so, the Battle Maid of the Silverfang Tigerfolk disappeared and she launched into action immediately.

Michael's eyes followed her retreating figure, but he could only smile dryly.

'Does she have two personalities? One personality that surfaces when she is in combat, and another a more docile personality on stand-by when she is not out for blood?' He wondered at this point.

Tiara seemed like a mystery to him. She was definitely not an ordinary member of the Silverfang Tigerfolk. Unfortunately, she didn't answer the questions he was the most curious about. In fact, Michael was certain that she couldn't answer his questions, not that she didn't want to.

Whenever he asked about the Silverfang Tigerfolk or her being his personal maid while simultaneously being an Adventurer, her expression would change, turning into one of pain and sadness.

'Maybe she can talk about it in the future, whether it's her heart restricting her from revealing more about her identity, or the Will of the Origin Expanse putting restrictions on her…' Michael thought, wondering when he would be able to find out more about Tiara's past and identity.

He was so deep in thought that Michael didn't even realize that a third dazzling star had manifested on the metal surface of the Summoning Gate.

He looked up to see multiple 3-Star Summons stepping out of the Summoning Gate.

However, the next moment, a terrifying screech rang through the surrounding area, pulling Michael out of his thoughts.

'What's going on? Are we under attack?!?'
