After the Kobolds and Orcs, it was the goblins' and lizardmen's turn to get wrecked, and in the blink of an eye, Liam was already at Level 26.

Every single invasion mission he had joined in had ended successfully.

Even the four or five squads assembled in the central area had noticed this and everyone was extremely excited about it, both the leaders and soldier demons alike.

Their success rate had never been so high! And their coffers had never been so full!

The last squad leader held Liam by his shoulder as he praised him endlessly. "You are a true warrior! Your potential is limitless!"

"As a reward for your meritorious deeds, you have now been promoted to a leader position! I wish you good luck! For the Lord! Huzzah!"

"Huzzah!" Liam mimicked his actions while already beginning to look through this new development.

He had filled up his contribution points by shelling out gold and running through invasion missions back to back, but he hadn't at all expected this to happen!

He could now command a squad? Did this mean that all the demons under him would listen to his commands? Was this going to be temporary or permanent?

What about the experience points? Was he going to get more experience points now? After all, this time he would be leading the invasion mission and would no longer be just a soldier.

What about the resources gathered? Could he possibly pilfer some before submitting the total resources to the higher ups?

Just how high was he in the hierarchy?

A million questions popped up in Liam's brain as he had absolutely no prior knowledge of these things at all. No one had done such quests in his past life.

"Alright. No need to rush too much. I should take it one step at a time. Let me start with the first invasion mission."

He opened the system interface as he saw a new notification pop up.

[Ding. Your rank has been upgraded]

[Rank: Squad Leader] (0/1000,000)

[Ding. You are now able to recruit up to 5 soldiers]

"What only 5 soldiers?"

He was quite shocked as every single invasion mission he had participated in had at least 30 or so demons which was why they were able to handle things easily.

What was he going to do with just 5 soldiers?

"I need to talk to someone first and gather more information." Liam walked out of the crowd and started observing the other squad leaders for a while.

The procedure seemed to be easy enough. They purchased the inscription for the invasion portal from a big bulky demon at the counter, where they submitted the resources as well.

It looked like one was a pre-requisite for the other, but Liam decided to worry about that later. After purchasing the portal inscription, the leader walked up to the front of the square.

All he then did was clear his throat loudly and a dozen demons quickly assembled before him. "Seems simple enough." Liam scratched his chin.

He decided to do the same and imitate them. He went to the counter and tapped. "I need an invasion portal inscription."

The big bulky demon snorted coldly and looked up at him, his gaze very stern and cold. "A newly appointed leader?"

He looked at Liam from top to bottom and was clearly not pleased with what he saw. "Hmph. It looks like these days just about anyone is capable of becoming a squad leader. Hmmm…"

Ummm... What is with this attitude? Liam was amused.

He waited for the demon to respond but the other party returned back to whatever he was doing after he was done passing judgment.

"The invasion portal inscription?" Liam patiently asked him again.

Heh. The bulky demon sneered and did not look up at him this time. "It will be 50 silvers. Can you afford 50 silvers?"

"I don't know how you got promoted to this position but don't think that it is so easy to be a leader! You probably got lucky and received a windfall, thus collecting a lot of points."

"Or maybe you managed to bribe someone… Hmm…"

"Indeed. We do have demons like you once in a while. Just give up and join more fights and gain more experience on the proper route."

"Or perhaps you wish to die a fiery death…" The bulky demon started ranting and he didn't look like he was planning on stopping any time soon.

And Liam did not have the luxury of sitting here and listening to him all day. He silently took out a few gold coins and banged them on the counter.

"That should buy me a few portals, right?"

The demon who was still continuing to talk whatever came to his mind, absent-mindedly looked up to see what the lucky fellow was blabbering about.

"A few portals? Did you hit your head… Ah...!" Taken aback by surprise, he jolted to stand straight from his desk.

He had not seen these many gold coins at the same time!

His eyes glistened with greed as he stared at the amount of wealth and a thick tongue stuck out, the demon licking his dry chapped lips.

He gulped and looked at Liam blankly, wondering just what sort of luck this greenhorn demon had run into!

His level was 50, almost twice as high as the tiny demon's, and yet he had never seen such wealth. What a shame!

His blank look turned sour and he seemed even more upset than before, but in the end, all he could do was gnash his teeth and take out 30 scrolls for the 15 gold coins.
