Chapter 221

【Chapter 214, Territory Upgrade! Silver One-Star!】

The expansion direction of the territory naturally excluded the south and expanded from the other three directions.

In the north, the largest force within a 20-mile radius, the Goblin Race, has been successfully taken down.

As for the west, there is a gathering town dominated by the human race, which is Wanjin Mountain Town.

From the information obtained from the Dwarves, the scale of Wanjin Mountain Town is about 50,000 people.

But through the intelligence of the Goblin Race and the actual situation, after having experience, Qin Luo found that much information has huge errors.

Originally, Qin Luo thought that the Goblin Race had at most tens of thousands of people, and the strongest Goblin should be the same as the Orc Chieftain, with Bronze-realm strength.

But the true strength of the Goblin Race far exceeded Qin Luo's estimation. Not only was there a Goblin King who reached the Silver realm, but there were also about 300,000 Goblins, and they possessed various powerful weapons and equipment, which could arm every Goblin civilian to the teeth, becoming soldiers with decent combat power.

If it weren't for Qin Luo's own strength being hard enough, I'm afraid that war would have suffered a big loss.

However, although the monsters and fierce beasts encountered are getting stronger and stronger, there has not yet been any existence that the Undead Legion cannot deal with.

However, that is only for ordinary lords.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the intelligence and actual strength have serious errors like the Goblin Race.

Moreover, most aboriginal forces will not accept races like the Undead, which is extremely unfriendly.

For Qin Luo, holding more than 100 million energy points, in his view, the various resources needed for upgrading are not that difficult.

If only a team is sent, it is difficult to judge the truth and falsehood of the intelligence.

"Then let the Dwarf Race, the Goblin Race, and the Orc Race each send a small caravan to Wanjin Mountain Town!"

Not enough Territory Cores?

The reason is very simple: one is to collect more intelligence, and the other is to compare the intelligence of the three parties to ensure the accuracy of the collected intelligence.

So there is no way to send Undead troops, so he can only choose from the surrendered aboriginal race creatures.

Compared to the Goblin Race in the Underground World, Wanjin Mountain Town is a force where multiple races coexist, and there is also an open trading market, absorbing aboriginals from dozens of miles around to conduct trade and promote exchange.

Except for the insufficient number of Territory Cores, all other conditions have been met.

As for the collection of intelligence, it is actually relatively simple.

You must know that the resources needed to upgrade the territory are very large, especially the two conditions of Territory Core and Magic Crystal, which are extremely difficult to meet.

There are a large number of Territory Cores for sale on the Trading Market.

Instead of choosing one team.

"Expansion is not something that can be rushed!"

Instead of sitting in a well and watching the sky, thinking that the whole world is nothing more than this!

Qin Luo's eyes fell on the territory upgrade conditions.

But Qin Luo did not choose only one team of personnel.

Among billions of lords, those who can upgrade their territory to the Bronze realm at the current stage are definitely the existence of the first echelon.

As for the east of the territory, according to the information from Wu Shiwu, the further east you go, the more monster nests you encounter, and you will often encounter powerful monsters, or even fierce beasts, whose strength can even reach the Bronze realm.

And the price is not high.

"Wanjin Mountain Town can stand on this land and exist for so many years; it must have something extraordinary!"

In these days, after many battles, Wu Shiwu has long been promoted to a Bronze-realm Necromancer, and several Bronze-realm Death Knights and Necromancers have appeared under his command, so at the current stage, basically no monster group can resist the attack of the Second Army.

"No matter how large the territory is, it must be manageable!"

Before this, the territory had already been upgraded to Bronze Two-Star.

Because when you are stronger, you see more, understand a wider world, and can feel your own insignificance more, and be full of awe for the real world.

Therefore, the number of monsters killed by the Second Undead Legion led by Wu Shiwu is the largest, and every day it provides a large number of monster corpses and Magic Crystals for the territory.

After careful consideration, Qin Luo decided on the relevant personnel to go to Wanjin Mountain Town to collect intelligence.

After Qin Luo planned the expansion plan, he opened the territory interface.

"For the sake of safety, it is better to collect specific intelligence on the town first!"

Qin Luo murmured.

Very simple!

Just buy it!

"Now the focus must be on the territory!"

Therefore, Qin Luo appears more cautious than ever, and even if his strength is getting stronger and stronger, he will never underestimate any force.

Qin Luo's troops are Undead race, which is easy to be hostile by aboriginals.

Therefore, Qin Luo can also send some personnel to the open market to communicate and collect some valuable information.

"This time is different from the Goblin Race; facing a human race force, once you fight with them, it will be a life-and-death result, and you will never easily let the other party go!"

And the number of lords who can upgrade to Bronze Two-Star will definitely not be too large.

If the territory wants to upgrade to Bronze Three-Star, it needs 200 Territory Cores, 200 Bronze-grade Magic Crystals, 2,000 Black Iron-grade Magic Crystals, 20,000 Ordinary-grade Magic Crystals, 20,000 energy points, 20,000 units of food, 20,000 units of wood, 20,000 units of stone, 20,000 units of Red Iron, 20,000 units of bronze!

One Territory Core is only 1,500 energy points, and its price is not as good as a set of Black Iron-grade equipment.

You must know that a set of Black Iron-grade equipment is worth 2,000 energy points!

In Qin Luo's view, the value and role of the Territory Core are obviously higher than a set of Black Iron-grade equipment.

As for why the price is lower than a set of Black Iron-grade equipment, it is mainly due to the influence of supply and demand.

After all, although there are quite a few Black Iron-grade equipment on the Trading Market, there are very few complete sets of Black Iron-grade equipment.

Except for Qin Luo, there are very few lords who have goods and are willing to sell them.

Moreover, set equipment can indeed significantly improve the combat power of troops, and coupled with the scarcity of sets, this has led to the high price of set equipment.

Another is the Territory Core, although it is an essential item for upgrading the territory, its acquisition difficulty is very simple.

Just destroy an aboriginal village, and you can get at least one Territory Core.

If you destroy the territory of a large force, you can get a large number of Territory Cores at once.

Like the Goblin City occupied by Qin Luo, its level reached Bronze Three-Star.

If

But Qin Luo did not do so, because compared to hundreds of Territory Cores, the value of a city with complete infrastructure, industrial production capacity, and weapons production lines that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people was immeasurable.

Additionally, there was a chance to obtain Territory Cores by opening treasure chests.

Therefore, even ordinary lords had the ability to obtain some Territory Cores to trade with.

Precisely because of this, the price of Territory Cores had never been particularly high.

Unlike Black Iron-grade sets or Bronze-grade Magic Crystals, which required powerful lords to obtain and were rarely sold on the market, causing their prices to remain artificially high.

Buy, buy, buy!

After entering the Trading Market, Qin Luo began to purchase on a massive scale.

Soon, Qin Luo had purchased a full 1,000 Territory Cores.

The quantity seemed large, but it actually only cost 1.5 million Energy points.

For an ordinary lord, this was simply an astonishing figure.

Compared to his net worth of hundreds of millions, Qin Luo didn't even care about a mere million or so Energy points.

If calculated at market price, 1,000 Territory Cores were actually only equivalent to a few dozen Bronze-grade Magic Crystals.

And to upgrade the territory, 200 Territory Cores and 200 Bronze-grade Magic Crystals were required each!

It could be said that Magic Crystals were the "most expensive" resource material at the current stage!

【Ding, you have met all the conditions to upgrade the territory. Do you wish to upgrade immediately?】

The system's notification sound suddenly rang in Qin Luo's ears.

"Upgrade!"

Qin Luo did not hesitate at all; after all, wasn't he buying so many Territory Cores for the sake of upgrading?

Furthermore, upgrading the territory could bring many benefits.

The sooner he upgraded, the more benefits he would receive.

Rumble!

The ground shook violently, as if there were an earthquake.

The Goblin workers currently building in the territory felt the commotion, stopped their work in shock one by one, and looked around in suspicion and fear.

The Goblins saw that the land outside the territory, which had originally been rugged and uneven, filled with loose stones and yellow sand, had suddenly turned into a flat expanse of land, continuously extending outward.

Fortunately, although the territory area had expanded several times, it did not have much impact on the buildings under construction, especially the Great Wall.

Moreover, the land within the territory was very flat, which made it easier for the Goblins to build various structures on this land.

The commotion came quickly and went quickly.

After the Goblin workers did not discover any special anomalies, they buried their heads back into their work.

Nowadays, the Goblin race was different from before; they were no longer their own masters but were subservient to others.

If they didn't do their work well, they would face severe punishment!

Although most Goblins had never seen Qin Luo in person, rumors had long spread that the Undead Lord ruling them was named Qin Luo—powerful, cruel, and temperamental, who most enjoyed eating flesh and blood raw and swallowing living people whole.

If anyone didn't work hard, they would be sacrificed as food to the Undead Lord.

But just as the Goblins resumed their work, another commotion, even more violent than the previous one, arrived. The flat land extended and expanded outward once again. If anyone were to look closely, they would be able to see that the originally desolate, yellowish land was now dotted with a silvery-white luster.

"What are you all staring at? Keep working! None of you think about slacking off!"

"If the Lord sees you, none of you will survive!"

"If you don't want to live, that's fine, but don't get me punished!"

Several Goblin foremen shouted at the stunned workers.

Hum, hum, hum!

At this moment, Qin Luo stood in front of the castle, which was dozens of meters high and entirely silvery-white, his eyes tightly closed. An astonishing aura erupted from his whole body, and the surrounding air stirred without wind, setting off waves of heat that surged in all directions.

In less than a minute, Qin Luo's strength achieved a qualitative leap.

From the original Bronze Two-Star, he rose to Bronze Three-Star, and then broke through to the Silver One-Star realm.

Qin Luo stood there, his aura surging and his blood boiling, as if an ancient ferocious beast were awakening.

The two newly recruited Undead Monarchs had not yet left; at this moment, they looked at their Lord, who had suddenly undergone a huge change, with expressions of shock and awe.

Their Lord, whose strength was originally weaker than theirs, now possessed strength far superior to their own.

"Is this the Silver Realm?"

Qin Luo opened his eyes, shooting out a beam of sharp light, and the surrounding air shook.

After breaking through to the Silver Realm, Qin Luo felt that the power within his body was dozens of times stronger than before, and he felt that his every movement and every glance could affect the surrounding environment.

Now, it seemed it was not impossible for Qin Luo to kill an enemy with just a glance!

"Hiss, these are my four-dimensional attribute values!"

"All attributes have broken through four hundred points!"

"No wonder I feel I'm even more powerful than the Undead Monarchs!"

"It seems my feeling was real and not wrong!"

A look of surprise appeared on Qin Luo's face.

Just now, after Qin Luo gathered the relevant resource materials, he proceeded with the territory upgrade.

Consuming 200 Territory Cores, 200 Bronze-grade Magic Crystals, 2,000 Black Iron-grade Magic Crystals, 20,000 Ordinary-grade Magic Crystals, 20,000 Energy points, 20,000 units of food, 20,000 units of wood, 20,000 units of stone, 20,000 units of Red Iron, and 20,000 units of Bronze to upgrade to Bronze Three-Star.

Afterward, Qin Luo did not stop but continued to upgrade.

Consuming 400 Territory Cores, 400 Bronze-grade Magic Crystals, 4,000 Black Iron-grade Magic Crystals, 40,000 Energy points, 40,000 units of food, 40,000 units of wood, 40,000 units of stone, 40,000 units of Red Iron, 40,000 units of Bronze, and 40,000 units of Mithril to upgrade the territory from Bronze Three-Star to Silver One-Star!

Upgrading to a Silver-grade territory required mostly the same resource materials as before, just doubled in quantity.

Additionally, a new upgrade material was added: Mithril, and a full 40,000 units were required.

Fortunately, Qin Luo controlled a large number of resource mines and was not short of Mithril at all.

Finally, after consuming a large amount of resource materials, the territory was upgraded to Silver One-Star, and Qin Luo's strength also followed the territory in advancing to the Silver One-Star realm!
