Chapter 952: Chapter 952
The new city’s location had been determined, but constructing it would still take some time. In this period, Du You didn’t visit other worlds. Instead, after the aura of his Law had dissipated from his body, he took the opportunity to visit the Yalan Continent.
By now, the development of the Yalan Continent had reached a very strong level. However, due to its influence, the territories of the Yalan Continent were still far from reaching the advancement of tier five.
Even the experience points, after being reviewed by Du You, were found to be less than half of what was required. It would probably take a long time to develop. In fact, if not for the lack of tier five troops, his current territory’s military strength wouldn’t have feared even the Kingdom of Hanhai. While their lower-end forces might not match the enemy’s, his high-end forces were already stronger than those of the Kingdom of Hanhai.
This time returning to this place, Du You mainly aimed to construct new buildings. With the Mage Tower, the three foundational buildings of the territory could be considered completely established.
Back in his territory, Du You immediately instructed Shaliya to start the construction of the Flame Tower with the Mage Tower’s blueprint. Due to its complex structure, the Mage Tower would take even longer to build.
Unlike regular buildings, which could be constructed in a day, this tower would actually require three days’ time to complete.
Afterward, Du You took the two sisters to the material storage location. However, they had been unlucky recently and hadn’t found any materials suitable for their advancement, so no skills could be advanced this time.
"Let’s check out the changes in our territory. I heard that all the troop buildings have been upgraded to tier four," Du You said as he opened the panel.
First, he looked at the overall situation of his territory.
Territory: City of Mountains (Tier four, Yalan Continent, locked)
Area: 1000 square kilometers
Lord: Du You / Deputy Lord: Shaliya / Commander: Luo Jia
Territory income: 3000 yellow Crystal Coins per day. Expenditure: 3500 yellow Crystal Coins per day.
Population: 5000000/10000000 (Non-fighting creatures may not exceed one-tenth of the population)
Forces: 101344/1000000 (Fighting creatures may not exceed one-tenth of the forces)
External population: 638945
Three Kingdoms Battle (Tier four), increasing income by 1000 yellow Crystal Coins per day. Adds Tian Gang Martial Artist lineage.
As the territory development entered the later stages, the speed of population recruitment actually slowed down from before. Over such a long time, with a total population capacity of ten million, only five million had been recruited.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t recruit more, but rather, there wasn’t enough space to accommodate so many people. Although the territory was large, many areas were not yet suitable for relocating people to live.
The surrounding land was mostly owned by others, so it was not possible to move people there, and they ended up just temporarily housing these people. As for the military forces, the actual increase was even slower.
Despite the boost from so many buildings, the overall progress was still not fast. The upper limit of one million troops had just been reached, reaching one-tenth of the capacity. Of course, having too many forces would make even a territory like his hard to sustain. It wasn’t just about food, but also weapons and various medicinal requirements, which were all very troublesome.
On the other hand, there was a considerable amount of large crossbows and Gang Blade Cannons in the territory’s mechanical weapons. These wouldn’t be recorded as part of the forces but rather as a special tool, and the combat power brought by this batch of tools was also very strong.
"There are not many changes in the external population, it’s the same as before. It seems like the civilians around here have already been mostly divided up," Du You said in a low voice, looking at the column for external population.
"Let’s check out the new troop buildings. Didn’t you say they’ve been upgraded to tier four? There must be some changes," Lin Yushi said impatiently, not seeing the point of looking at the territory itself.
"Alright, alright, let’s open it up and have a look," Du You said helplessly.
For a territory, these were the most important parts of the panel to begin with.
Hunting Dogs Level 3: 6000 per month, full price 5 white Crystal Coins each
War Dogs Level 6: 3000 per month, full price 30 white Crystal Coins each
Mount Wolves Level 5: 3000 per month, full price 50 white Crystal Coins each
Snow Wolves Level 14: 1300 per month, full price 50 red Crystal Coins each
Snow Mountain Wolf King Level 25: 800 per month, full price 63 green Crystal Coins each
Cold Ice Wolf King Level 36: 200 per month, full price 80 yellow Crystal Coins each
"They really are pretty good. The production of all troop types has increased by a lot, but we basically don’t need to deploy these dogs from the Kennel, because the limit on the number of troops means most of the spots are just wasted," Du You noted.
The newly appeared Cold Ice Wolf King had reached Level 36, which was a pet of considerable strength. Du You called over a Cold Ice Wolf King to test, and afterwards, he found that the creature’s abilities were similar to those of the Snow Mountain Wolf King.
The Snow Mountain Wolf King fought mostly using its own body, while the Cold Ice Wolf King used more magical attacks. Maybe it was because of the higher level, so the innate abilities were stronger.
"This Cold Ice Wolf King looks so strange," Lin Yushi said, pointing at the creature. Although it was a wolf, its whole body was composed of semi-transparent fur, making it look like a creature wrapped in glass threads. Its fur was thick too, and from a distance, it looked more like a combination of a bear and lion rather than just a wolf.
"The key is the number. Even though we can’t recruit most of the spots, we can use them as a reserve. If a battle starts, we can let these wolves attack first; if they all die, we can recruit again. Adding up all the spots, this is a very strong combat force as well," Lin Yucha analyzed, sounding much like other territory managers. Maybe this was due to her time spent learning from Li Minglu.
To these territory managers, the only valuable assets were Professionals, and the soldiers or creatures they recruited could be measured in Crystal Coins and exchanged for needed benefits. Dıscover more novels at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Although Du You valued the lives of the soldiers, considering them to be flesh and blood, he didn’t value these animals as much. To view them as a resource that could be utilized wasn’t actually a problem, to be honest.
"You’re right. Maybe we can use them against the Kingdom of Hanhai. Our territory is ready to further develop, and we can declare war on a large scale against the Kingdom of Hanhai soon. But first, we need the Divine Flame Empire to pass our resolution. I think the Divine Flame Empire will agree to it, given that their relationship with the Kingdom of Hanhai isn’t very good," Du You said.
"With a tier five territory in mind, Du You couldn’t wait to obtain a new tier five territory," the sisters exchanged glances, considering that Du You’s idea might really be worth thinking about.
