Chapter 173: New Windfall! The Death of a Rare Lord!

"Forget it, the price drop of metal resources is the general trend, and I can't change anything by my own strength!"

"I can only hope that the merchant Lords of the Resource Trade Alliance can unite and not lower prices privately, so as to avoid mutual trampling, so that at least they can hold on for a few more days!"

"Taking advantage of these last few days, I must earn more Energy Points!"

"Otherwise, once the price of metal resources drops, it won't be so easy to earn a large number of Energy Points in the future!"

Qin Luo touched his chin, thoughtful.

He was thinking that if the price of metal resources falls, although he can also earn Energy Points by selling metal resources, what he earns will definitely be much less than now.

Of course, every stage of territory development will have new windfalls, it just depends on whether Qin Luo can find and seize the new windfall to make a fortune.

But what is the next windfall?

Qin Luo doesn't know now!

But according to his guess, it is highly likely to be a new type of resource, something rarer than Mithril or Magic Crystals.

That is to say, after five days, Xiong Zifang's territory only upgraded once.

Before tonight, all Lords needed to consume metal resources such as Red Iron, and the number reached billions.

As for the resource merchant Lords, although their number has been increasing rapidly, it is only hundreds of thousands, less than one million.

"It seems that the Goblin race must be taken down as soon as possible, no matter what the cost!"

His biggest hope now is that the time for the price crash can be postponed for a few days, allowing him to obtain the Goblin race's mineral resources, and then earn a final huge sum of money.

Qin Luo muttered.

Precisely because of this, metal resources are in short supply, so the price has remained high.

Qin Luo's eyes fell on Xiong Zifang, and he didn't even need to use Detection Technique to perceive her aura, but it was only Ordinary Two-Star.

On the shoulder of one of the green-skinned giants, there was also a female Lord.

"What is she going to do?"

In this way, the market's demand for metal resources will be greatly reduced, which will directly affect the sales volume and price of Red Iron.

Not to mention a Rare Lord, at the current stage, many Ordinary Lords have upgraded their territories to the Black Iron Grade.

Even Lords developing rapidly like Qin Luo have upgraded their territories to the Bronze Realm.

This person is one of Qin Luo's neighbors, Rare Lord Xiong Zifang.

Just as Qin Luo was about to switch the perspective back, he discovered through Long Ba's perspective that more than a dozen green-skinned giants suddenly appeared below, walking slowly out of the territory range.

As for the price of metal resources, although Qin Luo also wants to stabilize it, such things cannot be changed by personal will.

But after the Dark offensive tonight, most Lords must have obtained metal ore resources from the monsters.

What determines the market price is the supply and demand relationship.

This development is too slow!

Therefore, Xiong Zifang is the most miserable Rare Lord, well-deserved.

Roar!

Although Qin Luo doesn't know what Xiong Zifang wants to do and what her purpose is, the Undying Bone Dragon Long Ba, who hasn't left yet, saw Xiong Zifang and more than a dozen green-skinned giants appear outside the territory, flapping its bone wings, and circled down with a gust of wind.

The Undying Bone Dragon's body had not yet resisted, and the sharp wind blade had already struck, flying towards the green-skinned giants.

Puchi!

Puchi!

One after another, the huge green-skinned giants were cut into countless pieces by the wind blade, and for a time, flesh and blood flew, which was tragic.

As for Xiong Zifang, her strength was only Ordinary Two-Star, much weaker than the Black Iron Realm green-skinned giant, and only a magic wind blade tore her body into pieces, turning into a blood mist, with no bones left.

With Xiong Zifang's death, the Novice Protection Shield next to her disappeared into a white light, and the only two buildings in the territory collapsed, turning into ruins.

【Ding, congratulations on destroying the territory of 'Xiong Zifang 985641', obtaining 2 Territory Cores, 1 Barracks Heart, 100 Energy. Affected by the Scarlet Moon rules, the kill reward is doubled, additionally obtaining 2 Territory Cores, 1 Barracks Heart, 100 Energy!】

"."

Qin Luo's mouth twitched. This is definitely the poorest Lord in history. The resources are so few.

Except for the necessary Territory Core and Barracks Heart, there are only 100 Energy Points.

Even if Qin Luo destroys the territory of an Ordinary Lord, the resource gains should be ten times more than this, right?

"This Xiong Zifang is probably in a desperate situation, exhausted!"

"If it were just besieged by a group of skeleton soldiers, Xiong Zifang might still have a chance to survive!"

"But when seeing the Undying Bone Dragon, I think she also knows very well that there is naturally no chance to turn over!"

Qin Luo sighed, "But this is also good, die early and be reborn early, why live and continue to suffer!"

It's not that Qin Luo is ruthless, but as a Lord, he must constantly expand his territory and embark on a path of hegemony that cannot be turned back.

Lords in the same area can never become friendly and helpful neighbors, and will definitely have fierce contradictions due to territory expansion or interest distribution, eventually triggering wars between Lords.

Although Qin Luo did not feel the threat of other Lords to him, he also knew very well that conflicts or wars would definitely break out between him and other Lords, so it is better to strike first and kill them while they have not grown up, so as not to become a major problem.

Especially Xiong Zifang, this Rare Lord, is a key object of care.

Once a Rare Lord grows up, the degree of threat is probably worth ten or twenty Ordinary Lords.

What's more, the Barren Land is full of rich metal mineral resources. Once a Lord occupies a metal resource mine, his development speed will definitely be astonishingly fast, much faster than Lords in other areas.

This also means that although Qin Luo made a fortune with the help of metal resources and developed rapidly.

But the Lords in the Barren Land are the same. They can also earn many Energy Points by selling metal, thereby accelerating the development speed of the territory.

In time, the Lord forces in the Barren Land are probably more difficult to deal with than the indigenous forces.

Therefore, Qin Luo wants to become the hegemon of the Barren Land and occupy the entire Barren Land, which is by no means an easy thing.

Seeing that Xiong Zifang is dead and the territory is destroyed, such a heart-trouble is eradicated and solved, which makes Qin Luo reduce a point of pressure and reduce a strong enemy that needs to be faced in the future.

Boom, boom, boom!

A shocking loud noise pulled Qin Luo's thoughts back, closed Perception Sharing, and looked forward.

A giant monster walked out slowly from the black mist, covered in golden scales, and its aura was very powerful.

The third wave of Dark offensive tonight is still a giant Red Gold Troll.

However, compared to the first two giant Red Gold Trolls, its strength is much stronger!
