Blood Elf Monarch

Ever since Tristan received the blood elf's memory fragments, he was able to understand the skills etched on his body better, and now he has no reason to hesitate upgrading his skills. For he already knows how each of them will work.

[Upgrading 'Blood Seal' to stage 3 will require 10.000 Blood Essence]

"Yes!" 

[Blood Seal has been upgraded to stage 3]

[Chance of Blood Seal success increased!]

[Blood Seal pool enlarged to a total of 10.000 Blood Essence]

"Alright!"

First, Tristan decided to check his current Blood Seal limit. Currently, most of his Blood Seal slot was free, as Chieng was killed on the last battle, and he also already took away Astrid's blood seal.

Right now, his Blood Seal pool was filled only with his augmented people.

[Astrid – 250 Blood Essence]

[Herrera – 350 Blood Essence]

[Karra – 600 Blood Essence]

[Seth – 250 Blood Essence]

Aside from that, there are also the 25 orcs he turned into champions with 80-100 Blood Essences each. his current total pool was:

[Current Blood Seal pool: 3750/10000]

Right now, as Tristan had nothing better to do except wait for Karra to return, He decided to first use the skill on the rugrats.

[Blood Seal – Augmentation]

[To augment target, 200 points of Blood Essence is required]

It needs one-third number of the blood essence to compare to Karra, the adult high orc, it was an adequate amount.

Tristan nodded, and a cloud of red mist seeped out from his skin before entering the Rugrats 1's body through his nose, mouth, and ears. The young orc was unprepared, and he let out a choked cough, but his eyes quickly darkened before his muscles stiffened and enlarged.

Even with the increased strength, the orc still looked half the size of an average adult grunt, but his body was full of muscles just like a human warrior. Without using his scanner, Tristan could tell the youngling has received an increase of 100% in battle power.

"Chief! I… I…" The first orc child stammered.

Honor and strength was ingrained in every orc's mind since their birth, and their whole culture and lifestyle revolved around it. The young orcs were so moved to be given such power, they all stared at Tristan like he was Santa Claus coming on Christmas day.

[Blood Seal – Augmentation]

He augmented all the orc children. With this, although they are smaller size wise, their strength would be comparable to that of an average Uruk. Afterwards, he checked his remaining blood seal slots. With the added orc younglings, he has a total of

[6100/10000]

He finished right on time, as he heard footsteps a short distance away, and looked to see Karra came back with the 25 orc champions. Among them, four were augmented after they evolved to champion rank, and One Ear was one of those.

Tristan called the four champions along with Kara. To their surprise, the next thing he did was extend his hand, pulling out the red mist and taking away their augmented power.

The four was instantly devastated. Without the added bonus, their power was now the same as the other champions. Out of the five, only Karra did not react, showing how much she truly believed in Tristan.

"Chief, we make mistake…? Chiwwikkk!"

"No! Just wait." 

After taking out their augmentation, Tristan once again used the skill towards them. With his upgraded stage 3 Blood Seal, the strengthening was much more impressive than before.

Right in front of his eyes, Karra and the 4 orc champions gradually evolved. Their skin turned dark green, their muscles stiffened and expanded, and their tusks looked even more sharp and wicked. Meanwhile, Karra actually turned a bit paler, making her appearance look more pure and ethereal.

But despite that difference, all five realized that they have broken through the limits of their power and reached the upper level of Warchief.

That is the improvement he could bestow to them with the power of his stage 3 Blood Seal. Actually, there are no added power boost with the increased power level, but his stage two Blood Seal was unable to give the maximum possible amount of boost to a higher leveled creature or person. Before this increase, Karra only received a paltry 40% boost in strength. This time, she should be able to receive at least a 70% boost.

Meanwhile, for the normal orcs, the increased level will do nothing, as their power has already increased around 110% from their original strength. For now, 110% increase was the best he could do.

With that recent upgrade, Tristan was only able to empower the five war chiefs.

The strengthening was done, it was now time for Tristan to start organizing battle strategies using the knowledge he attained from Earth.

3000 Uruk soldiers will be divided into three legions, each legion consisting of five groups of 200 Uruks each. To each of the legions, Tristan assigned one newly augmented warchief.

For the other orc champions, they were grouped together with the 150 orc grunts, and they will be led by One Ear the newly appointed Warchief. He had assigned the augmented 8 rugrats into this group, as well. With note for them to be very careful.

The numbers and groupings may seem arbitrary at first glance, but Tristan had put a lot of thought into them.

The Uruks are already strong, and he just needed to put one orc champion as their leader to ensure they would follow his plans. But for the orcs, the champions serve as not only leaders, but also morale boosters. With high morale and perhaps implied proof that they too could be stronger if Tristan favored them, it would help them to close the gap of power between them and the Uruks, ensuring there will be no weak spots in their defenses.

With all of these, now Tristan has 16 groups of Uruk and Orcs. He assigned them a number from one to 16. Legion one to three alone would make a horde with 3000 plus strong forces.

For the position of Commander, there was no one better than her trusted female high orc Karra.

With the force division finished, and the troops organized, it is time to split and train them to ensure they will be able to fulfill their roles.

Tristan explained his objectives, divided them according to the specialty he needed, and shouted.

"You have 4 days to get them ready!"

Everyone followed the order without objections.
