If he could conquer someone else's territory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not only would he gain a lot of territory energy, but he could also get their belongings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered a pretty female lord, he might even take her as a slave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the griffin flew, the war fog ahead suddenly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Meng was delighted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this indicated that there were other new lords nearby who had cleared the war fog!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for running into an old lord, there was no such worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield of myriad worlds would not place new lords near the territories of old lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, mark it down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After seven days, I'll conquer this place too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Meng smiled; he wasn't afraid of not being able to conquer other new territories after seven days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the other party didn't have flying units, he could even throw stones from the griffin\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and break their lord crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maximum flight height of a griffin was 300 meters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a distance that basic arrow towers couldn't reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Meng rode the griffin and quickly flew forward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>planning to openly tour the territory and see the other party's despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, several whistling sounds rang out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the griffin let out a pained cry and fell straight down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Meng was stunned; in mid-air, he was hit by an arrow and died instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His flesh and blood coalesced beside the lord crystal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the resurrected Xu Meng was still in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he was... shot by arrows?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of bow and arrow has this kind of range?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of arrow tower has this kind of range?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was at an altitude of 300 meters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Meng was dazed for a long time, then suddenly let out a wail: \"My griffin!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recruitment price for advanced troops is naturally not cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an ordinary person, each advanced troop in the early stages is very rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Meng collapsed to the ground, wanting to cry but with no tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, your hero Silve shot down the advanced troop, Griffin, and obtained 10 pieces of griffin meat and 100 experience points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, your hero Silve has leveled up to level 3, and all abilities have been enhanced.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silve, who had stopped the arrow tower from attacking, put down her divine bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a waste if the arrow tower killed it and took the experience points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Snap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu looked at the giant bird's corpse that had fallen at the foot of the mountain, its bones and blood splattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the prompt on his lord terminal, a look of surprise on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An advanced troop, a griffin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there another new lord nearby?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is really great news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu smiled, \"Li Li Huahua, come and collect the feathers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord.\" A woman dressed in colorful attire walked gracefully towards the griffin's corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved nimbly and lightly among the rocks, not at all looking like a farmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farmer Li Li Huahua, chosen by Su Yu, was responsible for managing the work of other female farmers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farmer Zhang San, on the other hand, was responsible for managing the work of other male farmers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Su Yu, I want to go hunting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silve, seeing the smile on Su Yu's face, blurted out these words as if possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because her loyalty had increased to 80, she wanted to do something for Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing a griffin could make the lord happy, and she wanted to make the lord even happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Alright, be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu nodded; he had actually intended to do this for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just worried about affecting Hilf's loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Hilf was a mythic-level hero, and he valued her highly, naturally caring about all of her feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting Hilf go out hunting would have immeasurable benefits for the territory's development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The logging camp at the foot of the mountain had already started operations,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the quarry began its orderly work yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Hilf could discover an iron mine, then without needing the territory's energy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the farmers could use wood, stone, and metal to build arrow defense towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All buildings in the territory relied on the lord crystal's crystal power to function,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so as long as they were built, there was no need to worry about them not operating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu watched as Hilf quickly descended the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no troops, so he could only let Hilf venture out alone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but fortunately, Hilf was a mythic-level hero,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and there was no need to worry about her safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There couldn't possibly be any threats to a mythic-level hero around the new territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a level 10 monster wouldn't be a match for a level 1 mythic hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war fog was quickly dispelled by Hilf,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and soon, Su Yu's view opened up until Hilf's figure disappeared into the forest, out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Su Yu stretched lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had work to do today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A level 2 lord crystal had a territory limit of 100 grids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occupying each grid took 300 seconds,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so he would be busy today, or rather, he would have plenty of idle time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, occupying territory just required standing there, doing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, your hero Hilf has killed a tiger, obtaining 10 tiger meat chunks and 30 experience points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, news of Hilf's success came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu sat on a rock, occupying territory while deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His territory was on a desolate mountain, with a natural cliff to the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the west and east were relatively barren plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the north was the most valuable area for exploration: the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could first occupy the flat wastelands to the east and west,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cultivate some farmland, plant melons and vegetables, and improve the dietary standards of the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the territory, there were ten farmers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their extraordinary skills in chopping trees and mining,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>farming was their basic skill, not a talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, your hero Hilf has leveled up to 4, with all abilities increased.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed there were quite a few prey in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu mused,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>before his number of buildings reached 10,000,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hilf's level increase meant an improvement in his ability to conquer outside territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong his buildings were, they were still within the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after reaching 10,000 buildings and gaining mobility,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could he truly set up cannons right at someone else's doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu opened Hilf's information panel and checked her combat power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which, at level 4, had already reached 400.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was typically the combat power of a level 20 rare leader monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare leader monster's strength was equivalent to that of a rare hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, a level 4 Hilf was already on par with a level 20 rare hero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly worthy of being a mythic hero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least ten times stronger than a rare hero of the same level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because rare heroes were in the third tier of the six ranks,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>many combat power comparisons used rare heroes as a reference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Su Yu knew a detailed breakdown of the combat power of rare heroes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>generally speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a level 1 rare hero had 10 combat power, capable of breaking walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a level 10 rare hero had 100 combat power, capable of destroying buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a level 20 rare hero had 400 combat power, capable of devastating streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a level 30 rare hero had 2000 combat power, capable of destroying cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare hero at level 40, with 12,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare hero at level 50, with 84,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare hero at level 60, with 672,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a planet's surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare hero at level 70, with 6,048,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare hero at level 80, with 60,480,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rare hero at level 90, with 200,000,000 combat power, has the ability to destroy a galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The above is what can be found in the information from the battlefield of myriad worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it is just a simple division of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield of myriad worlds does not have the concepts of planets, stars, or the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These heroes will only exhibit such exaggerated abilities when they leave the battlefield of myriad worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the lack of expressiveness does not mean a lack of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there are clusters of territory buildings to destroy, high-level heroes will show what expressiveness means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even though Silvia is only at level 4 and seems unthreatening,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she has the ability to cause massive destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu believes that even if she encounters hundreds of new territory troops, she could easily slaughter them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Silvia's experience points are still rapidly increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her strength is rapidly increasing with her level.\u003C\u002Fp>",1951,"2026-06-15T03:53:46.766Z","2026-06-15T04:25:06.961Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7cda2a6a74565dd000948238fb32a5d65f1a29826a5be9834c22003a89d6ba9e","universal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-chapter-8","universal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-chapter-6",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Funiversal-lord-the-zero-troop-building-maniac-cover.jpg"]
