Chapter 484: Chapter 484

"Look, I’ve solved the problem." Du You shrugged, completely ignoring those frightened people.

When Du You turned his head, the people almost simultaneously took two steps back. Shaliya was slightly better, reacting after taking one step back, quickly returning to her original place, but her fear was already exposed.

"Alright, let’s continue with the task. Also, leave a few people for me to use."

Shaliya quickly nodded, and Du You opened the panel.

Main Task: Second Phase of Territory Building. You have successfully formed your territory, but the territory is still not considered successfully built. Please construct three territorial function buildings within a month.

One month’s time and three territorial function buildings, these seem like hard demands. If unable to succeed, the territory would still be considered a building failure. Du You had already seen this demand in the booklet earlier.

But seeing it in reality, it still felt a bit unbelievable.

However, behind this seemed to be a conflict between two powerful world consciousnesses, something he couldn’t intervene in.

No matter, let’s just continue. Du You found an extra item in his panel—territory. Without a second thought, he named it Mountain Town. Mountain reflects its location. As for town, it wasn’t Du You’s intention; the territory was currently the size of a small town.

Territory: Yalan Continent - Mountain Town (tier one)

Behind the territorial label, there was a small icon. Du You touched it with his consciousness, and a new panel appeared. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Territory: Mountain Town (tier one)

Area: 1 square kilometer

Lord: Du You/Deputy Lord: Vacant

Territorial Income: 100 Crystal Coins per day. Expenditure: 50 Crystal Coins per day.

Population: 0/10000 (Non-combat organisms must not exceed one-tenth of the population)

Army: 0/1000 (Combatants must not exceed one-tenth of the army)

Functional buildings: None

After getting a rough understanding, Du You understood. The deputy lord would be someone to help him manage the territory. If Shaliya proves suitable, the position would go to her.

Who the deputy lord would be didn’t matter to Du You; these people wouldn’t betray him anyway, since he could strip them of all their rights at any time.

About the area, it refers to the maximum control area of his territory now. This does not refer to the territory’s area in this world, but the area where his territorial rules can fully control. Anything beyond this area cannot be controlled.

Territorial income refers to the origin energy obtained from running the territory daily. Du You discovered for the first time a second method to obtaining Crystal Coins, different from controlling the Derived World completely. Unfortunately, these Crystal Coins weren’t exclusive Crystal Coins but were similar to those used for transactions.

He could obtain 100 per day, but also needed to spend 50 a day to maintain the operation of the laws.

As for the population, it refers to the population fully belonging to the territory, whether they are recruited by him or assimilated from outsiders. However, the upper limit for tier one territories is 10,000 and cannot exceed this number.

Non-combat organisms don’t count as the population, but they cannot exceed one-tenth of the population. The same goes for the army. This army refers to unique troops recruited from the territory, not those trained by outsiders.

The outsiders’ count refers to his slaves, specifically the 10,000 male slaves for hard work and 50 female slaves that came with Shaliya.

"In a month, we have to face a siege. That time would be the actual siege. We may not have to worry about our strength, but we don’t have enough people. If these magical beasts attack and destroy something, that wouldn’t be good. So, let’s first establish defensive and offensive measures." Du You thought for a bit and decided on the next construction plan for the territory.

Without his own people, he could only use these slaves. Du You took out the blueprint and gave it to the slaves to refer to. To Du You’s surprise, the slaves learned what they had to do after looking at the blueprint.

Then, Du You had some of the slaves gather stones and wood from the surroundings and start constructing the city wall at the entrance of the two valleys.

Behind the city walls, Du You had the slaves start constructing the Giant Rock Fortress, while on the side, construction of the kennel began.

Giant Rock Fortress blueprint: Can construct a Giant Rock Fortress within own territory.

Function: Train Giant Rock Heavy Armored Warrior.

Kennel blueprint: Can construct a kennel within territory.

Function: Train Hunting Dogs, War Dogs, Canine Type mounts.

The first three functional buildings chosen were these. The Giant Rock Fortress could provide him with combat power, and the kennel would do the same. Moreover, common Hunting Dogs were not Hunter-type troops but ordinary organisms.

Ordinary organisms with certain attack power are much better than civilians. Once the civilians reach the maximum number of 10,000, these ordinary Hunting Dogs should also reach a maximum of 1,000. That was considered decent combat power.

Most importantly, to deal with those low-level Magical Beasts, using dogs was likely more effective than using ordinary human soldiers. Now resources were still plentiful, so there was no need to construct other functional buildings.

After all, construction takes time. The city walls on both sides would take at least ten days. The Giant Rock Fortress was special as it’s a castle, which could also be considered a defensive structure. Du You placed it behind the city walls on both sides in hopes it could support the city wall’s defense. Of course, he didn’t know what the situation would be like after the construction was completed.

The construction of Giant Rock Fortress would take half a month. The kennel was a bit easier, taking only ten days.

Upon opening the construction blueprint, Du You found that to construct the griffin nest, he actually needed a hundred griffin eggs. But currently, he didn’t have a single griffin egg. If not, he would have built the griffin nest first regardless.

The combat power of griffins was much higher than dogs or ordinary soldiers, and they were flying creatures.

"Looks like we need to find griffins tomorrow." Du You muttered to himself. Now that it’s night, and with other matters to attend to, he couldn’t leave immediately. Without him around, Du You was worried that some slaves might escape.

Moreover, the griffins from Blackstone Mountain were now managed by White Stone City. He couldn’t find griffins there. To seek griffin eggs, he had to go to other locations. There were a few locations where griffins were common, but they were more dangerous places.

Du You had already thought it through. Once he was ready, he could head over tomorrow night. Going to places filled with griffins during the day was tantamount to seeking death. Thankfully, normal griffins have poor vision at night and clear weaknesses.
