Chapter 497: Chapter 497

Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi got up and ran towards the back as soon as they realized each other was poisoned. By the time Du You came down from the city wall, the two had already approached the Sand Dune Monsters.

Lin Yucha clipped the Sand Dune Monster with severe poisonous snipe from a distance, relying on the force of her sniping to immobilize it on the spot.

Though the Sand Dune Monsters were dangerous, there were only a few of the second tier, and most were of the first tier. They were helpless once they got close to either of them.

What was more, after Lin Yushi got closer, she unleashed a vast array of Explosive Scattering, clearing swathes of them.

By the time Du You and Shaliya arrived, over half of the Sand Dune Monsters had died. If Lin Yushi hadn’t exhausted all her magic power, there would probably be only a few left for Du You.

Du You waved his hand and cast a broad Dark Flame Arrow Array, which cleaned out the Sand Dune Monsters in swathes.

A few minutes later, with the death of the last Sand Dune Monster, the fight finally ended.

Main quest: Territory construction completed.

The panel showed the main quest as completed which would not have affected their departure from this world had they failed. However, it would have cost them their privilege to construct a territory in this world, but now it was different.

Du You felt more connected to the land beneath him.

An inexplicable feeling came over him, but he couldn’t quite grasp what it meant.

Looking at the various notes on the panel, Du You felt slightly overwhelmed. Many of his buildings had been damaged, though not too severely. He just had to instruct his citizens to repair them.

At most, a few residential buildings were completely destroyed, which could be restored. Du You was not concerned about whether there was enough housing. He built four thousand houses initially, and he intended to restore all of them.

One of the two sections of the city wall had been utterly ruined and needed rebuilding. His section was also nearly destroyed and needed repairs.

Of his ten thousand citizens, only 4559 remained. This meant that over half of his citizens were lost in the previous battle. Damn those Sand Sculpture Knights, Du You cursed inwardly. Googlᴇ search 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Apart from the Sand Sculpture Knights, some Sand Snakes had slipped in without him knowing. Without these Sand Snakes, the citizens’ losses would not have been so great. But it was the citizens’ desperate fighting that preserved most of their buildings.

Regrettably, these citizens were unswervingly loyal products, and Du You didn’t know how to compensate them.

After some thought, Du You looked at his unrecruited quota and decided to fill up the number of citizens first.

With a wave of his hand, a large number of citizens appeared, and the number of citizens in his territory returned to ten thousand.

The housing was indeed valuable and the most basic and crucial blueprint for territory construction. Du You was very lucky to have bought this blueprint.

Looking at his military, all his summoned forces and those of his territory were wiped out.

The military strength of his territory was zero. His Giant Rock Heavy Armored Warriors were wiped out. Along with the city wall, his summoned Hunting Dogs and the only ten War Dogs he had were all killed in the battle.

In the end, facing numerous second-tier beings, these combat and non-combat beings had no resistance. The primary source of strength relied on Du You and the Lin sisters, Yucha and Yushi.

The world of professionals indeed values levels above all. The strong are everything.

However, it must be meaningful that so many people value the territory. Looking at the panel, Du You ordered a full-scale repair of the territory.

As for the military force in the territory, that could only wait until half a month later. It was impossible to recover now.

"How many artisans are left? Has it been counted yet?" Du You suddenly thought of something and said to Shaliya.

"Most artisans are fine because their hiding place during the battle was different from other civilians, so they suffered fewer attacks. Now with the new citizens recruited, there are more artisans than before."

Perhaps, this was the only good news. "Good, let them accelerate the construction of the Griffin nests."

Shaliya nodded. After this battle, Shaliya fully recognized the potential of this territory and accepted Du You’s strength. Being able to kill a third-tier Quicksand Soldier suggests that Du You has a great potential for growth.

This young landholder might have the chance to become one of the highest beings in this world. If he can grow to that extent, her revenge will be much easier.

Du You didn’t know what Shaliya was thinking. He was busy following the territory construction plan, making subsequent repairs, and constructions. This is the only attack by the monsters the territory will get, and it won’t happen again in the future.

However, upgrading isn’t that easy. We must perform various tasks in the name of the territory, and perhaps gain experience in upgrading the territory. Of course, this experience is what Du You understands.

In fact, it should be the workings of some special world origin power. Without this power, Du You would have no way to elevate his territory. Everyone else is the same as Du You, but now the territory has no soldiers, so he can only wait for now.

Although the farm can provide food for the citizens, that food can’t be sold. It’s just a special ability of the character buildings, not real agricultural production of food.

Therefore, character buildings can’t produce any special items for sale.

The only things Du You can sell are the potions produced in the Pharmaceutical Factory. However, he only has one Potion Recipe, and he doesn’t know what the market is like for this potion.

Forget it, let’s see what I can get from my orbs first. After this battle, Du You got lots of gains. With so many second-tier creatures killed, he now has a lot of orbs.

As Du You kept opening them, tons of red Crystal Coins appeared. Along with various other items, most of them useless. He also harvested a lot of Quicksand Armor, many of which are second-tier.

The Quicksand Armors served well in this battle. Du You gave them all to Shaliya, so she can use them in the development the territory. He can’t take so many back anyway.

As for the red Crystal Coins he had, he made a great harvest. Du You got over ten thousand red Crystal Coins. That’s plenty for the subsequent upgrades.
