Bow],\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stood on the edge of a dangerous cliff,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>looking toward the south of the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>South of the territory, below the broken cliff, was an endless wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this direction, he had not set up any defensive measures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the fixed [Indestructible] terrain of the Myriad Worlds Battlefield,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no monster could ever climb up this cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a monster tried to climb, it would be easily cleared away by Sylph and Elodie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished the monster tide would attack from this direction,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that way, he would only need to pay attention to flying units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu turned around and looked at his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through several days of development,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the barren mountain that was originally empty had become thriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various territory buildings were scattered about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both sides of the stone-paved roads, trees from the forest had even been transplanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the foot of the mountain, at the entrance leading to the peak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was also a dragon-shaped skeleton specimen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was pieced together from the bones of the Cloud Sky Water Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spreading its wings as if to soar, the momentum was awe-inspiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more majestic and shocking than any bone specimen seen in a dinosaur museum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu also had a more massive dragon skeleton, over twenty meters high, taller than an ordinary house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just think, an ordinary person at home looking up at the ceiling is only 3 meters high,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how shocking would it be to have a twenty-meter-plus giant dragon skeleton standing in front of you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the bone of the [Demon Flame Dark Dragon].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that because the farmers in the territory were currently in a busy state, there was no time to piece it together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the monster tide ended, Su Yu planned to set it up at the highest point of the mountain peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, at the foot of the mountain, one could see it just by looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the whole day today, Su Yu had nothing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wandering around the territory, he examined its layout to see if there were any oversights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not continue to occupy more land,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his territory limit was 500 grids,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His buildings had already been constructed in the wild due to the effect of \"Santi Blessing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, occupying too much territory was unnecessary for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had not built any walls,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the monsters reclaimed the territory, all the buildings on that grid would be destroyed, which would be a huge problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the current semi-circular territory covered by arrow towers was sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the evening clouds turned to twilight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu sat on a boulder, gazing at the hardworking farmers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large gap had been cut into the northern forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upgrading the arrow towers required a large amount of wood, stone, and refined iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enchantment factory's furnace had never gone out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back?\" Su Yu suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\" Silve came and sat beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, she and Elody had spent the whole day playing outside again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since their levels were already too high for the new territory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beasts near the new territory could hardly provide them with the massive experience points they needed to level up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Su Yu let them play as they pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resting and rejuvenating, they prepared for the big battle tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two watched the setting sun,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Silve leaned her head on Su Yu's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Su Yu, after defeating the monster wave and becoming an official lord, what do you want to do?\" Silve asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind blew,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying a strand of golden hair to Su Yu's nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand to wipe his nose, then caught the strand of golden hair with his fingers and asked in return:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want me to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Silve was silent for a long time before saying wistfully, \"If possible, I wish you would visit the elves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, don't call me 'my lord,' it makes us seem distant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Lord Su Yu…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you could drop the 'lord' part, that would be even better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... thank you, Su Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Silve turned her head and kissed Su Yu's cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like a shy mimosa, she quickly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle breeze of \"Gale Boost\" ruffled Su Yu's hair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the breeze, the scent of the elf lingered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu touched the cheek where the elf had kissed, smiling wryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Because of your promise, Silve's loyalty temporarily +1, current loyalty: 90.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Silve's loyalty has increased from \"Very Close\" to \"Heart-to-Heart\" (temporary).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Temporary... It seems I really need to visit the elves when I have time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu looked down at the prompt on the lord terminal, squinting slightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elves,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once as glorious as the humans among the myriad races and worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, like the humans, they also declined later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have received a message.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei: \"Great Lord Su Yu, how are you going to help me defend against the monster wave...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei: \"A great and majestic, awe-inspiring, and handsome lord like you... surely won't stand me up, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu: \"Isn't it tomorrow? What's the rush?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei: \"Great Lord Su Yu, I'm waiting for you, you must help me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this sixth night, more new lords found it hard to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow would determine whether they could become the next,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Official lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm so anxious, what if we can't hold off the monster horde…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Build more walls, coordinate with arrow towers, and use hero units. How could we possibly not hold them off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, if we can't even stop the monster horde, we might as well give up and return to Blue Star, to avoid losing our lives here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You make it sound so easy, but the probability of Blue Star people passing the monster horde test is only 50%!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, if only we had the help of the great Su Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't even know where his territory is, how could we possibly get his help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's already at a Level 3 territory. Dealing with the monster horde should be a piece of cake for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not necessarily true. The scale of the monster horde isn't determined by the strength of the territory, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he encounters a large-scale monster horde, it could be very dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Given Su Yu's territory, it's likely to be at the 'Nightmare' level, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not certain. I heard he hasn't even developed any units yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No units developed? I don't believe that. How did he get the Legendary Dragon Eye?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know… Maybe he really hunted a Legendary-level dragon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, he might face a 'Heavenly Demon' level monster horde.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodness, I really hope the great Su Yu can survive and lead us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai Xiaowei: \"Hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Bai Xiaowei, what are you laughing about! Is that person called Emperor Bai on the forum you? Have you latched onto the great Su Yu's coattails?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the class group chat, there was a lot of discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of it was about the monster horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster horde test for new lords is divided into five levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost Wolf,\" \"Nightmare,\" \"Heavenly Demon,\" \"Omen,\" and \"Calamity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Su Yu wants to face is Calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believes that with the two Mythic heroes in his territory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>along with over two hundred defensive towers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they can definitely reach the upper limit of the monster horde—Calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he passes the Calamity-level monster horde test,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he will receive unparalleled rewards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are often rumors in the Multiverse that if one can obtain the Calamity reward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even a pig could lead other lords of the same batch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's a bit of an exaggeration,\u003C\u002Fp>",1305,"2026-06-15T03:53:46.766Z","2026-06-15T04:25:06.961Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3e063c2ed046c3ca33456bdc7cf57f26fab2bf51010a4a0c534ee04b681940f2","universal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-chapter-25","universal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-chapter-23",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Funiversal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-cover.jpg"]
