Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005
Another day had passed, and the new building at the top of the high mountain was finally completed. From now on, Du You planned to utilize this Griffin King’s nest to control the entire Griffin Canyon and turn it into his own griffin breeding base.
With this nest here to suppress them, he believed that there would never be a griffin rebellion.
"Haha, I told you it was beneficial to build in this location. Look at what I said," Du You said joyfully upon seeing the attributes of the new building, which were much higher than he had anticipated.
"Congratulations, my lord," Shaliya also smiled, her territory had grown even stronger. The two sisters were shocked by the attributes as well; they hadn’t expected the City of Mountains to have recently surged in strength to such an exaggerated degree. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the might of their territory surpasses that of the empire.
Griffin King’s Nest (Tier 5):
Vajra Gryphon Level 45: 100 per month, full price 1200 blue Crystal Coins each
Wind King Griffin Knight Level 40: 800 units per month, full price 400 yellow Crystal Coins per unit
Griffin King Knight Level 50: 50 per month, full price 2500 blue Crystal Coins each
"Not to mention anything else, just this Griffin King Knight alone, level 50, tier 5 full level, naturally a flying knight. Compared to the recently upgraded griffin nest, although both are Griffin Kings, here they are level 50 and have added a knight, yet it only costs 500 more blue Crystal Coins. In real battle, such a group of knights could single-handedly take on at least four or five level 48 Griffin Kings."
This wasn’t just a wild guess; buildings steadily upgraded step by step simply couldn’t compare with those that were high-leveled from the start. It was simply a crushing superiority in terms of a single branch of the armed forces.
At most, the Griffin King was considered a combat creature, not part of the general military forces, and wouldn’t be included among them. However, the number of combat creatures could only be one-tenth of military forces and could not exceed this number.
Besides, there were also the Wind King Griffin Knights, also directly available as knights, which meant the Griffin King’s Nest could practically be considered a regular military building. Eight hundred knights a month, all at the peak of tier 4, the value was immense...
Finally, there were the Vajra Gryphons, not knights but griffins themselves. However, Du You had never seen this type before. But with strength reaching tier 5 and a not insignificant number, one hundred per month was quite impressive. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
After recruiting them, Du You tested them and finally discovered the powerful aspects of these griffins.
Different from the Griffin King, the Vajra Gryphon knew no magic, only melee attacks. But the Vajra Gryphon’s body was bronze-colored and incredibly tough. Its magic resistance and defense could even compare to a dragon of the same level, truly a solid airborne armored vehicle.
Their melee combat strength was very formidable; if we’re talking strictly melee, even a Griffin King of the same level might not be a match for the Vajra Gryphon. The Griffin King could only use wind attribute magic to enhance itself in order to surpass the Vajra Gryphon. Direct attacks with wind attribute magic would basically have little effect.
It had to be said, these griffins with special abilities could also be considered a hidden ace of the territory. Du You decisively decided to keep these new branches of the armed forces entirely hidden, absolutely not letting the outside world know about them.
The new month hadn’t even started, and the domain had already increased by two hundred tier five combatants.
Another day passed and Du You’s new skill had also advanced.
Dissolution Spell: Uses the power of spells to dissolve the enemy’s magic resistance, reducing the magic resistance (level*2), with a maximum reduction to 0, duration, 10 minutes. The higher the class, the weaker the effect. (Level 36, 10 stars)
The ability to reduce magic resistance had improved, which pleased Du You. "It’s a pity, if the Dissolution Spell had advanced when I was dealing with the dragon last time, the fight wouldn’t have been so troublesome."
Du You gave a wry smile. The skill hadn’t advanced when he needed it, and now that he didn’t, it had advanced—what a waste.
Now, for Du You, dealing with ordinary people didn’t even require using the Dissolution Spell to weaken them first, he was even too lazy to use dark magic enhanced by Dark Elves. A straightforward attack, almost like plain slashing, could instantly kill the opponent.
By the time all this was settled, the month had already reached its end. On this day, a tsunami-like roar suddenly erupted throughout the domain, even startling Du You. Without needing to look closely, Du You knew that the roar came from the Giants in his domain, or rather, these were the Flame Giants used for defense by the Flame Tower.
At that moment, all the Flame Giants had swelled to a height of over ten meters, some still growing taller, while others had already stopped. The ten-meter Flame Giants exuded even stronger aura, in that instant, the powerful force of the tier five was unmistakably revealed. An entire thousand tier five Flame Giants, this was something even Du You couldn’t hide.
Suddenly, not only did South Mountain City know about it, the Kingdom of Hanhai did too. A thousand tier five Giants definitely posed a threat to tier six powerhouses. If it weren’t for the fact that the Flame Giants had always shown little cognition—only defending the territory—then the Empire would have acted against him by now.
As soon as the news spread, the Kingdom of Hanhai immediately curtailed all military actions, fully retreating. They abandoned all coastal interests, retracting all their forces to several islands, they even stopped caring about most of the Murlocs.
In South Mountain City, the news was also reported to the Empire immediately, and Anlute convened a meeting. This time, nobles with various motives and the upper class of South Mountain City all appeared. Even a severely ill old noble dragged his sick body to the meeting room; no one dared to make excuses for not attending.
"Very well, everyone is here. It seems everyone is aware, City of Mountains can barely hold on any longer."
Although this was not pleasant to hear, everyone knew that was indeed the case. A whole thousand tier fives—what was this for, this power was much stronger than the Kingdom of Hanhai.
"Wait a second, though these tier five Flame Giants are powerful, they seem to be alchemical products with little cognition, merely protecting the territory. Therefore, as long as we do not provoke them, there’s no danger. Moreover, these Flame Giants conveniently lie in the middle, serving as a barrier for the Empire."
"I think so too. These Flame Giants, Du You probably can’t control them, otherwise he would have used them earlier."
Anlute pressed his hands down, "Now, the issue is that the activity range of the Flame Giants has expanded, ten times larger than before. There’s another issue; these are tier five Giants—tier five, do you all understand what this means?"
How could they not understand? Tier five meant kingdom. The Kingdom of Hanhai was a kingdom because it had tier five combat power. That meant, City of Mountains suddenly had the basis for establishing a kingdom—this was previously unthinkable for them.
