Chapter 16

【Territory Name: Morning Glow】

【Lord of the Territory: Li Li Yue】

【Territory Rank: Ordinary★★★】

【Territory Buildings: Goblin Camp, Thorn Wall】

【Territory Units: Earth Dragon Leader*1, Goblin Hero*2, Goblin Chieftain*2……】

【Territory Equipment: None】

【Territory Energy: 1762】

【Territory Upgrade: Energy (1762/500), Altar Upgrade Stone (1/3)】

……

"1762 points of energy!"

Li Li Yue's mouth was full of smiles.

Originally, he only had 62 points of energy left.

As a result, in one day, he had harvested a full 1700 points of energy!

"Although the north is dangerous, the harvest is also great."

"If it weren't for the large number of magical beasts in the north, I wouldn't have been able to obtain so much energy."

His eyes flickered a few times.

Should he send out a goblin team to slowly push north and kill magical beasts?

"But in this way."

"I wouldn't be able to sell fresh crystal cores."

He frowned and pondered.

A large part of today's harvest came from selling fresh crystal cores.

Although the probability of Black Iron magical beasts producing fresh crystal cores isn't high.

But fresh crystal cores are precious enough.

And because of the portable trading interface, he can sell fresh crystal cores as quickly as possible.

But fresh crystal cores only have a two-hour validity period; after that, they solidify, and their value greatly decreases.

If he isn't in the team.

This business wouldn't be possible.

"Let's convert the energy on hand into strength before deciding."

He whispered in his heart.

Then he came to the edge of the thorn wall.

The safety of the territory is quite important.

Now that he has enough energy, he naturally needs to build the thorn wall completely.

And the thorn wall can also produce thorn flowers, obtaining extremely precious talent points.

White thorns appeared one by one, and were synthesized into blue thorns in the white light.

Over an hour.

He had already planted another 205 blue thorns.

At this time, except for leaving more than two meters in each direction as a gate.

All other places in the entire territory had been surrounded by thorn walls.

Four-meter-high thorn walls.

No snakes, insects, rats, or ants could cross them.

The safety of the entire territory was greatly increased.

As long as the thorn wall isn't breached, the safety of the territory altar cannot be threatened!

"Humans should still live within city walls."

Li Li Yue smiled lightly.

He looked at the territory guarded by the thorn wall before him, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

Such a territory—

Is a real territory, not an empty plot of land.

"Next—"

"It's time to witness the moment of the lucky person again."

Looking at those thorn flowers, a fiery look appeared in his eyes.

Talent is the most important ability of a Lord.

And also the most terrifying part of a territory.

Without hesitation.

He picked thorn flower after thorn flower and put them into his mouth, swallowing them.

Wandering between hope and disappointment time and time again.

Finally, when he ate the sixty-fifth thorn flower—

【You consumed a thorn flower and gained one talent point】

"Keep up the good work!"

Li Li Yue was joyful in his heart, and continued to eat thorn flower after thorn flower.

But he didn't know if the Goddess of Luck had been seduced away by some other vixen again.

It wasn't until the one hundred and ninetieth thorn flower.

That he finally gained another talent point.

Looking at the remaining fifteen thorn flowers—

Li Li Yue was somewhat hesitant.

Should he keep these fifteen thorn flowers or eat them?

He felt.

Maybe he would get another talent point on the next one.

"Keep them and sell them."

"Exchanging for energy is more useful than me gambling on luck here."

He took a deep breath.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to eat another one.

Two talent points.

He also added them to Offensive Arts.

Suddenly—

Offensive Arts promoted from lv7 to lv9!

Territory combat unit strength increased by 45%!

This terrifying level of improvement.

Is enough to make all Lords at the current stage dumbfounded.

After all—

Nine talent points.

According to normal circumstances.

That's something you can only get when the territory reaches Bronze★★★!

And this is only the second day—

It's impossible for anyone to have upgraded their territory to Bronze★★★.

"Increasing strength by 45%."

"The Earth Dragon Leader's strength directly skyrocketed to 9.7!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Silver rank above the Bronze rank should be over 10 points of strength."

Li Li Yue felt somewhat amazed.

The Bronze★★ Earth Dragon Leader.

Its strength was already close to the Silver rank!

It can only be said that talent points are truly precious.

He came to the goblin camp.

At the same time, he summoned the twenty-six goblin warriors in the territory.

The strength of Ordinary★★★ goblin warriors is too weak.

He wanted to synthesize them all into Black Iron★ big goblins.

Of course.

He also wanted to do an experiment.

To see if he could use one creature as the main and another as the secondary, and synthesize without changing the soul.

After all, this group of goblin warriors were already his subordinates.

Synthesizing them all as materials was somewhat inhumane.

(PS: New book launch, seeking flowers, tips, and evaluation tickets. If you think it's okay, please cast all the tickets in your hands, the author begs you!)*

Whoosh—

Four ordinary goblins appeared and were synthesized in pairs into one goblin warrior.

"Tuge, come up."

Li Li Yue ordered.

"Yes, my lord!"

A goblin warrior stepped out.

Li Li Yue controlled the white frame to envelop this goblin warrior and the newly synthesized goblin warrior.

At the same time, he silently recited in his heart:

"Use Tuge's soul as the final soul."

"Synthesize."

Swish—

The two goblin warriors vanished.

And in the golden frame, a big goblin appeared.

But this time it was different from all previous syntheses.

In the past, after synthesizing, he still had to wait for the synthesized creature's soul to return, which was the summoning time.

But this time, just after the synthesis was finished.

The big goblin had already come to life, twisting his neck and kicking his feet, not quite used to it.

"Tuge?"

Li Li Yue's eyes lit up, and he called out.

"My lord, your subordinate is here!"

The big goblin bowed respectfully.

"It succeeded."

"This is equivalent to just strengthening Tuge once."

"Letting him advance from a goblin warrior to a big goblin."

A smile appeared on Li Li Yue's mouth.

This meant a lot to him.

After all, from now on.

As he lives with some of his subordinates for longer, there will definitely be some feelings.

If synthesizing once meant the other person died, he really wouldn't have the heart to do it.

Now it's very good.

It completely satisfied his needs.

Whoosh—

Ordinary goblins appeared and vanished one after another.

Soon.

He synthesized all the remaining twenty-five goblin warriors, strengthening them into Black Iron★ big goblins.

This brought the number of big goblins under his command to fifty-four!

"Still not enough."

"I need a hundred-man big goblin army."

Li Li Yue whispered in his heart.

That wave of synthesis just now consumed a total of 104 points of energy.

And to synthesize a big goblin, it requires 8 points of energy.

He was still 46 big goblins short of a hundred-man battalion.

Which is 368 points of energy!

This wasn't much.

As he kept synthesizing, big goblins appeared in the camp one after another.

If other Lords saw this, they would definitely be envious to death.

Even Lords of terrifying creatures Ya Li Ke dragons, hydras, titans, high elves, etc.

would be extremely envious.

This is only the second day.

Everyone's starting barracks are of Ordinary rank.

Wanting to obtain Black Iron-rank units, even one, is very, very difficult.

Only those terrifying creatures can rely on their own racial advantages and pressure.

To subdue some magical beasts.

But the number is definitely limited.

One hundred Black Iron-rank units of the same race that know how to cooperate, who could imagine that?

"For every five big goblins, equip one Black Iron★★ goblin chieftain."

"For every five goblin chieftains, equip one goblin chieftain."

"For every four goblin chieftains, form a battalion, with two goblin heroes as captain and vice-captain."

"A total of 126 units, this is the battalion configuration."

Li Li Yue thought for a moment.

And spent another 384 points of energy to synthesize twenty goblin chieftains and two goblin chieftains.

This way, including the two goblin heroes and two goblin chieftains in the camp.

It was exactly a full battalion.

"I also need a bodyguard."

He whispered.

The goblin battalion will be the first army under his command for combat and defending the territory.

And his own safety.
