Chapter 36: The Ratman Lord is attacking!

He did not have the Elf Archers come down.

Li Li Yue went to the magic smithy alone.

As for his bodyguard, the Guardian Goblin Grei, he remained five meters away, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

"My Lord!"

Seeing Li Li Yue enter, the two master blacksmiths, their eyes bloodshot, hurriedly bowed.

"No need for formalities."

Li Li Yue waved his hand.

However, his gaze was quickly drawn to the blood-red staff on the table nearby.

This staff was extremely beautiful.

It was crystal clear, as if forged from a single piece of blood agate.

"Is this the staff forged from the heart of the Thousand-Year Blood Tree Demon?"

He asked aloud.

"Yes, my Lord!"

"We should have delivered it to you this morning, but you were not in the territory at the time."

Master Blacksmith Alec said respectfully.

"You have worked hard."

Li Li Yue said.

He had only given the heart of the Thousand-Year Blood Tree Demon to the two master blacksmiths last night.

It was already forged by this morning.

The two master blacksmiths had naturally worked through the night.

"Serving you, my Lord, is our duty!"

Alec said hurriedly.

Li Li Yue nodded slightly, stepped forward, and picked up the blood-red staff from the table.

Immediately—

The staff's information appeared before him.

[Name: Blood Tree Demon Staff]

[Rank: Blue]

[Attribute: Spirit +0.6]

[Special Traits: ① Casting speed +20%, ② Recover 10 Mana points upon hitting an enemy with a spell, ③ Fire-type spell power +15%]

"A top-tier staff!"

Li Li Yue's eyes brightened.

The attributes of this Blood Tree Demon Staff were even more powerful than the 'Piercing Bow'!

The Piercing Bow was a magic longbow recorded in the forging blueprints, an absolute top-tier item.

And now—

This staff was actually even stronger!

While pleasantly surprised, he also felt puzzled.

The two master blacksmiths only had a magic forging level of lv2.

How could they forge such a powerful magic item?

Compared to the magic longsword he had sold previously, this was Ya Li Ke heaven and earth!

It was far too powerful!

"My Lord, the reason this staff's attributes are so astonishing is entirely due to the materials."

As if seeing what Li Li Yue was thinking, Master Blacksmith Alec spoke up.

"Oh?"

"Is the heart of the Thousand-Year Blood Tree Demon that amazing?"

Li Li Yue asked in surprise.

"My Lord, the Thousand-Year Blood Tree Demon has a very high life level."

"If it continues to grow, legend says it can grow into a Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Demon King, which would be an Epic-level creature!"

"Just Ya Li Ke a dragon hatchling, its strength is far inferior to an adult, but the materials on its body are still extremely precious."

Alec explained.

"I see."

Li Li Yue realized.

Mentioning a dragon hatchling made him understand what Alec meant.

He just hadn't expected it.

This Thousand-Year Blood Tree Demon actually had such astonishing potential.

But ten thousand years...

He shook his head.

Growing safely for ten thousand years was almost impossible.

Unless it was in an isolated environment.

"I am very satisfied with this staff."

"You have done well."

He praised them.

"Your praise is our highest honor!"

Alec said joyfully.

The usually taciturn Sorn also showed a look of joy on his face.

"I have a forging blueprint for a magic longbow here."

"Take it and study it first."

Li Li Yue smiled.

He had long discovered that appropriate praise for subordinates could make these territorial units more motivated and hardworking.

At the same time.

From his space bag.

He took out the 'Piercing Bow' forging blueprint and handed it to Alec.

"A magic longbow forging blueprint!"

Alec and Sorn's eyes both brightened fiercely, staring at the forging blueprint in Li Li Yue's hand.

Their breathing became slightly rapid, and their faces were full of excitement.

For a master blacksmith.

Besides high-tier materials that could excite them, the only other things were these forging blueprints that could improve their own skills!

Every forging blueprint recorded a special forging technique.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

The two bowed deeply before taking the forging blueprint, saying gratefully.

Li Li Yue nodded slightly and left the smithy.

He looked around the somewhat cluttered territory and frowned slightly.

Nowadays.

There were already quite a few buildings in the territory.

The Magic Tower and Magic Arrow Tower in the northern area.

The Goblin Camp, Lizard Dragon Camp, Gray Dwarf Camp, Moon Elf Camp, Blood Vulture Camp, and smithy in the western area.

To the east, the goblins had built many messy wooden houses.

The south was still relatively empty, but it had temporarily become the training ground for two goblin battalions.

The magic fields were outside the thorn wall.

And there were already quite a few combat units in the territory.

Mainly the two goblin battalions, totaling over two hundred and fifty people.

"The territory seems small."

"Pushing the thorn wall outward must be put on the agenda."

"Also, building unified residences for the territorial units must also be put on the agenda."

He whispered to himself.

At this moment.

Underground beneath Li Li Yue's feet.

A large number of ratmen gathered, looking fanatically at the Ratman Lord 'Bart' at the front.

"My subjects, the glory of us ratmen begins now!"

"Break through the territory above your heads, kill the enemies above your heads, and drink their blood!"

"Kill!"

Ratman Lord Bart shouted excitedly.

"Kill!!"

All the ratmen let out excited roars, and then several ratmen chiseled through the last layer of soil, and sunlight spilled in!

And in Dawn Territory.

Li Li Yue stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the large amount of soil that bulged and then scattered not far from the Wyvern Huang, feeling a bit stunned.

This is—

Are enemies attacking from underground?

The Wyvern Huang also looked curiously at this hole.

The first ratman warrior rushed out excitedly holding a spear...
