Chapter 533: Chapter 533
The next day, the Griffin Mount training was a success. Du You, without hesitation, combined the Heavy Armored Knight with the Griffin Mount, forming the Heavy Armored Griffin Knights. Finally, his territory now had its own corps of aerial knights.
However, due to the limited number of griffins, there were only fifty mounts, and therefore, he could only produce fifty Heavy Armored Griffin Knights. But these troops, although small in scale, were a powerful display of strength, being a mix of second-tier and top-tier first-tier mounts.
With the griffin’s enhancement, the Dou Qi radiated by the Heavy Armored Knight could reach a distance of more than twenty meters, and its attack power also improved. Most second-tier Sand Sculpture Knights were not a match for these heavily armored knights.
Even the Pegasus Knights of White Stone City, when faced head-on, might not be their match.
Adding to these, a hundred Battle Griffins, the aerial strength of his territory, had basically taken shape.
With this aerial force, none of the surrounding territories were a match for him. Unless the Sandpeople mobilized on a large scale, or the forces of White Stone City were dispatched, his territory was no longer in danger.
If fifty Heavy Armored Griffin Knights attacked simultaneously, his Xiaozi could only avoid them from a distance. Once surrounded and entangled, even such a powerful flying creature as Xiaozi would have a hard time escaping. This was because the Griffin Mounts were still too lower-tier. If they were able to catch up with Xiaozi, she would definitely not be able to deal with these knights.
Du You directly handed these Heavy Armored Griffin Knights over to the two sisters, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, instructing them to clear the surrounding forests with these cavalry. With these flying troops, the speed of clearing the forest increased.
In addition, with the clearance by these knights, the experience required for the territory upgrade also gradually increased.
However, the cost-effectiveness was not high, so only low-tier creatures were assigned to them. When encountering second-tier Magical Beasts, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi would deal with them personally because only when they fought would there be gains.
Meanwhile, Du You was just lying in his house, receiving a few red spheres every day, which he only needed to open.
Two days later, the second-tier Kennel was fully upgraded.
Hunting Dogs Level 3: 2000 per month, full price 5 Crystal Coins each
War Dogs Level 6: 500 per month, full price 30 Crystal Coins each
Mount Wolf Level 5: 500 per month, full price 50 Crystal Coins each
Snow Wolf Level 14: 100 per month, full price 50 Red Crystal Coins each
The Kennel’s Hunting Dogs production had increased from one thousand to two thousand a month, and the production of War Dogs and Mount Wolves also increased from three hundred to five hundred a month. Unfortunately, Du You couldn’t summon too many of these animals, as he was primarily using griffins.
These War Dogs were too weak in combat, and there was really no need for so many Mount Wolves; the quantity was already enough.
However, Snow Wolves were unlocked. Without hesitation, Du You ordered the creation of a hundred Snow Wolves. Using War Dogs to perform the upgrade didn’t require such high cost; on average it only cost 20 Red Crystal Coins per Snow Wolf.
Du You then saw these Snow Wolves, standing at a shoulder height of one and a half meters, almost as big as a person when they raised their heads. Their all-white bodies looked incredibly majestic and emitted a potent chill.
Up close, one could feel some oscillation of magic power. As long as the Snow Wolves attacked, the enemy would be invaded by cold air. Furthermore, Snow Wolves could even spit out ice balls for attack, absolutely qualifying them as Magical Beasts.
Among 14-tier Magical Beasts, the Snow Wolves’ combat strength was unquestionably powerful. After some testing, Du You found that a standalone Snow Wolf was far better than his own light cavalry.
Although the 16-tier Heavily Armed Warriors were powerful, they could only passively take hits when facing a Snow Wolf. They would eventually be dragged to death or be frozen to it. A series of tests proved that the power of Snow Wolves far exceeded ordinary expectations.
"If we use Snow Wolves to coordinate with Heavily Armed Warriors, our ground combat power will be quite good. Right, how about pairing a Snow Wolf with a Shadow Shooter?" Du You suddenly thought of the configuration of hunters.
"We can give it a try. Shadow Shooters are strong, but they are weak in close combat. If someone gets close, having a Snow Wolf to engage them would make it much safer." Shadow Shooters had far superior combat power compared to Snow Wolves, which made them cost-effective. Since Snow Wolves were not adept at ranged attacks, they could complement each other, enhancing their overall combat power.
"Alright, in that case, let’s first integrate them. With the level of the Shadow Shooters, it would be easy for them to command the Snow Wolves in combat. If it doesn’t work, we can reconsider this later." Du You immediately ordered the integration to start.
Snow Wolves could be temperamental. They would certainly obey Du You’s commands, but if Du You let a less powerful troop command them, they might intentionally slack off or stir up trouble. After all, they were not humans. Their thinking abilities were limited, and their innate animal instincts had a significant impact on them.
The combination of Snow Wolves and Shadow Shooters began, and after a few more days, the second-tier Griffin Nest was finally fully upgraded.
Griffin Nest (Tier 2): ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
Battle Griffin Level 10: 200 per month, full price 100 Crystal Coins each
High Ranking Griffin Level 20: 20 per month, full price 100 Red Crystal Coins each
Griffin Mount Level 10: 100 per month, full price 200 Crystal Coins each
"As expected, the quantity of the lower-tier creatures has increased. The Battle Griffin has doubled to two hundred per month, and the Griffin Mount has also doubled to one hundred per month," Du You said, looking at the panel.
Without hesitation, Du You immediately summoned the additional quota, and also summoned the twenty High Ranking Griffins without a second thought.
Looking at those white griffins, their noble demeanor and appearance, were indeed enamoring.
Moreover, reaching the peak of the second-tier at level 20, these High Ranking Griffins were far more powerful than those in the wild. Du You released his Black Jade Griffin to fight the High Ranking Griffins.
The result was that even with the impressive combat power of his Black Jade Griffin, when faced with these level 20 High Ranking Griffins, if one on three, the Black Jade Griffin was absolutely disadvantaged. High Ranking Griffins could also control the power of wind, their skills may be fewer, their star level may be lower, but their combat strength is certainly not weaker, and they use very similar tactics to the Black Jade Griffin.
To suppress through three against one, these High Ranking Griffin are at least equivalent to an eight-star Magical Beast. The only pity is the few skills they possess.
This couldn’t be helped, after all, human skills were obtained through learning, while most Magical Beast skills were innate, so it was inevitable that they would have fewer skills. Even Du You’s Summoned Beasts, having four or five skills, was considered quite a lot.
At this stage, the upgrade of his second-tier territory had come to an end. The remaining civilian houses, food processing factories, and farms could not be upgraded to the second tier without blueprints.
Additionally, his Potion Factory could not be upgraded at the moment due to a lack of materials, so it had to be left as it was.
