Chapter 7: The Wretched New Lord, Xu Meng

[Because you sleep with discipline, Silvia's loyalty +3, current loyalty: 80.]

[Silvia's loyalty has increased from "Duty-bound" to "Affectionate".]

In the early morning, the first ray of light shone through the window.

Awakened by the notification from the territory, Su Yu opened his eyes and saw Silvia dressing on the floor.

He hurriedly closed his eyes.

If Silve discovered that he was peeking... the loyalty that had just been promoted to "very close" might immediately drop.

"Lord Su Yu."

Silve, dressed in leather armor, called out.

She enjoyed the life on the territory. Yesterday, apart from initially leading Su Yu to occupy the territory, she did almost nothing else.

The territory didn't need her to do anything.

No need to lead patrols, no need to hunt monsters, no need to clear the mist—it was a pleasant and comfortable life.

"Good morning, Silve."

Su Yu opened his drowsy eyes, yawned, and pretended he had just woken up.

Her golden hair shone brightly in the morning light, and Silve gave a radiant smile.

Su Yu couldn't help but be captivated by the sight.

……

"Haha, this flying unit is so cool!"

A slender young man lay on the back of a griffin,

feeling the rush of the wind, he exclaimed with delight.

Griffins, as high-level units, were not rare.

But, as a flying unit, they were very rare.

Every lord knew how important air control was.

No matter how strong or fierce your ground defense forces are,

once you lose air control, you can only become a fish on the chopping block.

Therefore, the importance of flying units is usually the highest among all units.

Having flying units early on can also quickly disperse the war fog.

Once the war fog is dispersed, it takes a long time to spread back,

and it will never spread back into the lord's territory.

At this moment, the slender young man lying on the back of the griffin was named Xu Meng.

He was a new lord.

He was rapidly exploring the surrounding war fog.

Compared to other lords,

his exploration speed was very fast,

and the griffin's flight speed was not slow.

So, after just one day, he had cleared nearly 100 kilometers of fog.

He also discovered other new territories and marked them.

"Once the seven-day protection period for newbies is over, I'll go and conquer their territories!"

Xu Meng grinned. If he could conquer someone else's territory,

not only would he gain a lot of territory energy, but he could also get their belongings.

If he encountered a pretty female lord, he might even take her as a slave.

"Hmm?"

As the griffin flew, the war fog ahead suddenly disappeared.

Xu Meng was delighted,

this indicated that there were other new lords nearby who had cleared the war fog!

As for running into an old lord, there was no such worry.

The battlefield of myriad worlds would not place new lords near the territories of old lords.

"Hehe, mark it down."

"After seven days, I'll conquer this place too."

Xu Meng smiled; he wasn't afraid of not being able to conquer other new territories after seven days.

As long as the other party didn't have flying units, he could even throw stones from the griffin

and break their lord crystal.

The maximum flight height of a griffin was 300 meters,

a distance that basic arrow towers couldn't reach.

"Whoosh—"

Xu Meng rode the griffin and quickly flew forward,

planning to openly tour the territory and see the other party's despair.

Suddenly, several whistling sounds rang out,

the griffin let out a pained cry and fell straight down.

?

Xu Meng was stunned; in mid-air, he was hit by an arrow and died instantly.

His flesh and blood coalesced beside the lord crystal,

and the resurrected Xu Meng was still in a daze.

What happened?

It seemed like he was... shot by arrows?

What kind of bow and arrow has this kind of range?!

What kind of arrow tower has this kind of range?!

He was at an altitude of 300 meters!

Xu Meng was dazed for a long time, then suddenly let out a wail: "My griffin!!"

The recruitment price for advanced troops is naturally not cheap.

For an ordinary person, each advanced troop in the early stages is very rare.

Xu Meng collapsed to the ground, wanting to cry but with no tears.

……

[Congratulations, your hero Silve shot down the advanced troop, Griffin, and obtained 10 pieces of griffin meat and 100 experience points.]

[Congratulations, your hero Silve has leveled up to level 3, and all abilities have been enhanced.]

Silve, who had stopped the arrow tower from attacking, put down her divine bow.

It would be a waste if the arrow tower killed it and took the experience points.

"Snap!"

Su Yu looked at the giant bird's corpse that had fallen at the foot of the mountain, its bones and blood splattering.

What's going on?

He glanced at the prompt on his lord terminal, a look of surprise on his face.

"An advanced troop, a griffin?"

Is there another new lord nearby?

This is really great news.

Su Yu smiled, "Li Li Huahua, come and collect the feathers."

"Yes, my lord." A woman dressed in colorful attire walked gracefully towards the griffin's corpse.

She moved nimbly and lightly among the rocks, not at all looking like a farmer.

Farmer Li Li Huahua, chosen by Su Yu, was responsible for managing the work of other female farmers.

Farmer Zhang San, on the other hand, was responsible for managing the work of other male farmers.

"Lord Su Yu, I want to go hunting."

Silve, seeing the smile on Su Yu's face, blurted out these words as if possessed.

Perhaps because her loyalty had increased to 80, she wanted to do something for Su Yu.

Killing a griffin could make the lord happy, and she wanted to make the lord even happier.

"Alright, be careful."

Su Yu nodded; he had actually intended to do this for a while.

He was just worried about affecting Hilf's loyalty.

After all, Hilf was a mythic-level hero, and he valued her highly, naturally caring about all of her feelings.

Letting Hilf go out hunting would have immeasurable benefits for the territory's development.

The logging camp at the foot of the mountain had already started operations,

and the quarry began its orderly work yesterday.

If Hilf could discover an iron mine, then without needing the territory's energy,

the farmers could use wood, stone, and metal to build arrow defense towers.

All buildings in the territory relied on the lord crystal's crystal power to function,

so as long as they were built, there was no need to worry about them not operating.

Su Yu watched as Hilf quickly descended the mountain.

He had no troops, so he could only let Hilf venture out alone,

but fortunately, Hilf was a mythic-level hero,

and there was no need to worry about her safety.

There couldn't possibly be any threats to a mythic-level hero around the new territory.

Even a level 10 monster wouldn't be a match for a level 1 mythic hero.

The war fog was quickly dispelled by Hilf,

and soon, Su Yu's view opened up until Hilf's figure disappeared into the forest, out of sight.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Su Yu stretched lazily.

He also had work to do today.

A level 2 lord crystal had a territory limit of 100 grids.

Occupying each grid took 300 seconds,

so he would be busy today, or rather, he would have plenty of idle time.

After all, occupying territory just required standing there, doing nothing.

[Congratulations, your hero Hilf has killed a tiger, obtaining 10 tiger meat chunks and 30 experience points.]

Before long, news of Hilf's success came through.

Su Yu sat on a rock, occupying territory while deep in thought.

His territory was on a desolate mountain, with a natural cliff to the south.

To the west and east were relatively barren plains.

To the north was the most valuable area for exploration: the forest.

He could first occupy the flat wastelands to the east and west,

cultivate some farmland, plant melons and vegetables, and improve the dietary standards of the territory.

In the territory, there were ten farmers.

Despite their extraordinary skills in chopping trees and mining,

farming was their basic skill, not a talent.

[Congratulations, your hero Hilf has leveled up to 4, with all abilities increased.]

It seemed there were quite a few prey in the forest.

Su Yu mused,

before his number of buildings reached 10,000,

Hilf's level increase meant an improvement in his ability to conquer outside territories.

No matter how strong his buildings were, they were still within the territory.

Only after reaching 10,000 buildings and gaining mobility,

could he truly set up cannons right at someone else's doorstep.

Su Yu opened Hilf's information panel and checked her combat power,

which, at level 4, had already reached 400.

This was typically the combat power of a level 20 rare leader monster.

It was very impressive.

A rare leader monster's strength was equivalent to that of a rare hero.

In other words, a level 4 Hilf was already on par with a level 20 rare hero!

Truly worthy of being a mythic hero!

At least ten times stronger than a rare hero of the same level!

Because rare heroes were in the third tier of the six ranks,

many combat power comparisons used rare heroes as a reference.

Moreover, Su Yu knew a detailed breakdown of the combat power of rare heroes,

generally speaking,

a level 1 rare hero had 10 combat power, capable of breaking walls.

a level 10 rare hero had 100 combat power, capable of destroying buildings.

a level 20 rare hero had 400 combat power, capable of devastating streets.

a level 30 rare hero had 2000 combat power, capable of destroying cities.

A rare hero at level 40, with 12,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a country.

A rare hero at level 50, with 84,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a continent.

A rare hero at level 60, with 672,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a planet's surface.

A rare hero at level 70, with 6,048,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a planet.

A rare hero at level 80, with 60,480,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a star.

A rare hero at level 90, with 200,000,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a galaxy.

A rare hero at level 100, with 1,000,000,000,000 combat power, has the ability to comprehend the laws and understand the structure of the universe.

The above is what can be found in the information from the battlefield of myriad worlds.

Of course, it is just a simple division of strength.

The battlefield of myriad worlds does not have the concepts of planets, stars, or the universe.

Moreover, the terrain of the battlefield of myriad worlds is protected by the power of the battlefield. Apart from the exploitable terrain, other terrains are [indestructible].

These heroes will only exhibit such exaggerated abilities when they leave the battlefield of myriad worlds.

Of course, the lack of expressiveness does not mean a lack of strength.

If there are clusters of territory buildings to destroy, high-level heroes will show what expressiveness means.

Therefore, even though Silvia is only at level 4 and seems unthreatening,

she has the ability to cause massive destruction.

Su Yu believes that even if she encounters hundreds of new territory troops, she could easily slaughter them.

Furthermore, Silvia's experience points are still rapidly increasing.

Her strength is rapidly increasing with her level.
