Chapter 220: Harvest

Lord’s Hall.

Everyone was amazed.

“We won!”

“We are victorious!”

“I didn’t expect that the adventurers Lord nurtured have already grown to this extent!”

Nancy Liya and other Elves were full of worship, joy, and excitement.

Ran Tianyun said: “Congratulations to Lord Qi on the further development of the territory!”

Gao Yue: “What a wonderful campaign!”

Ren Wanxiong: “With such a strong enemy, Lord Qi destroyed it with a smile during tea and small talk. Such a heroic spirit makes this old brother admire!”

Li Jianhan, unwilling to be outdone, quickly flattered: “Yes, a life-and-death lord’s war, only Lord Qi can handle it with such a relaxed attitude, like a trivial game with victory in hand. I have never seen such a miracle in my life!”

This battle lasted for more than four hours.

Although the time is not short, it is not too long either.

Qi Ji invited the representatives of the Four Great Lords, the Elven Race, the Undead Race, and a group of guests to broadcast live using the crystals in the Lord’s Hall, making a battle that should have been highly difficult and tense, easily won during his small talk and casual chat.

There were no twists and turns or suspense.

The adventurers suffered nearly half casualties.

But the losses were basically all Territory contract soldiers.

The real losses were negligible. Compared to the number of enemies annihilated, compared to the income generated by this battle, and compared to the huge strategic significance of seizing the Black Iron Fortress, it can be ignored!

Miracle City is developing rapidly.

The Four Great Lords witnessed and were mentally prepared.

They just didn’t expect that Miracle City was already so strong!

This time, without using full strength, such a brilliant victory was achieved. If they went all out, wouldn’t they be able to compete with Evilwood City, which had an absolute advantage in size?

The overall strength of Miracle City exceeds most senior Third-Rank Territories.

Even some Fourth Rank Territories couldn’t achieve this effect. Now, Qi Ji, starting from the perspective of strength, also has the qualification to talk to the lord of a Fourth Rank Territory!

This campaign is like a promotional blockbuster.

It visually shows the foundation of Miracle City.

For example, various Essence Souls, various ability skills.

Sakura Dragon, Black Dragon King, Isshin Ashina, Ghost of Resentment, Ancient God Serpent…

These Essence Souls are of extremely high quality. It’s good enough for an ordinary Underground City to have one or two, but Miracle City has at least a dozen Essence Souls with a quality not lower than Third Rank Rare!

This is only what the adventurers have dug up and mastered.

Judging from the Miracle City Secret Realm, there are more than just these Third Rank Essence Souls. In just the Sui and Tang Chapter, there are probably dozens of monsters not lower than Third Rank, it’s hard to imagine what kind of scene it will be like when it is fully excavated in the future!

But relying on these top-quality Essence Souls alone is not enough to achieve such impressive results!

As important as the adventurers’ combat performance in this campaign is the Miracle City’s unique arms system and the mechanized armored troops. This time, they were all shown to the territory’s trade partners through this battle. Isn’t this also a vivid military goods exhibition?

From various light firearms, to rocket launchers, to airborne heavy machine guns, and then to High-Energy Arc Gun…

From Black Hawk helicopters to tanks and mechs!

All are brilliant!

The strength of the Miracle City adventurers is far beyond common sense, but the main reason why the leader of Black Iron Fortress, Black Whiskers, failed was that he underestimated the power of the Miracle City’s arms.

Even a First Order adventurer, when equipped with a High-Energy Arc Gun from the Titan Chapter of the Star Sea World and pre-filled with energy, he actually has the ability to instantly kill most ordinary Third Rank units.

If they wear various models of Titan mechs and can skillfully operate them.

They can exert the combat power of a Third Rank expert, and with machine cannons and various weapons, the kill efficiency is even higher!

This is the power of the Miracle City’s arms and military equipment!

Not only is it a top-tier battlefield weapon, but it is also a force that rewrites the rules of war!

While the Four Great Lords were amazed, they were more determined to purchase more arms to arm their territories!

Even if it’s just ordinary M16s and AK47s, as long as they are equipped with enough quantity, they can also greatly enhance their combat power, allowing them to stand in an invincible position in the territory competition!

Not to mention airplanes, tanks, and mechs!

As a special Mechanical Category equipment, it’s not only more convenient to trade, but the threshold for using it is also very low, and it also has the liquidity that troops don’t have!

Miracle City does not directly sell high-level arms for the time being.

In fact, you can also obtain this power through other methods.

For example, if Tianyun City wants to attack a heavily fortified stronghold, when its own assault ability is insufficient and it is difficult to conquer its city, it can completely communicate with Miracle City and borrow two or three hundred tanks with a lot of money.

When hundreds of tanks appear on the battlefield at the same time.

It’s no different from having a few hundred more Third Rank Sorcerers good at assault!

This is enough to cause destructive strikes on the enemy’s defense line, and after breaking through the enemy’s defense line, they will be returned to Miracle City in full, and compensation will be made according to the value if there is any loss.

Miracle City will not lose much military strength because of this, but in the process of arms aid, it can repeatedly obtain a large amount of income and benefits, thereby creating a project that earns money by lying down!

The Four Great Lords have many similar cooperation plans in their minds.

And the Four Great Lords have personally experienced the Miracle City Star Sea Secret Realm, and Ran Tianyun was one of the first people to clear the Titan Chapter, knowing how rich the weapons and equipment of the Tidal Wave World and the Star Sea World are.

The potential for future development is still great!

From a nuclear bomb that can level a city to a spacecraft that can navigate the universe.

With the improvement of Miracle City’s strength, the arms industry will also be constantly upgraded and has great prospects!

The Undead Race, led by Visarous, was more shocked than the Four Great Lords. He could see that the purpose of Lord Qi Ji’s display of the war was actually to show the potential of Miracle City, to increase the confidence and loyalty of the allies.

Judging from the performance of the four lords scrambling to flatter, the effect was obviously achieved.

Qi Ji proved with facts that following Miracle City not only can you get rich, but also protect your life at critical moments, and even take off with this wind, thereby reaching a height that you couldn’t even imagine in the past!

With so many benefits and such rich profits, how could they not lick their boots?

It is not surprising that they have all become bootlickers.

Visarous also realized that with the strong support of these four powerful lords with deep territory foundations, Miracle City does not need to sell its core interests to find allies and protective umbrellas in the local area.

Back to the war itself.

If Thousand Lake City doesn’t care about the cost.

Of course, it can also seize the Black Iron Fortress within a day.

But the final losses it would have to pay would be at least a dozen times that of Miracle City. This kind of loss is completely not worth it.

The fighting in the Eternal Night Forest is fierce and the competition is very cruel. Each territory must maintain enough troop redundancy to make itself a poison pill in order to protect itself!

Therefore.

Second Order units will appear in First Order Territories.

Third Rank units will appear in Second Order Territories.

And a Third Rank Territory like Evilwood City will have Fourth Stage units.

Black Iron Fortress is not the core area of Evilwood City, so it is not guarded by Fourth Stage combat power, but its own defense is very strong. If it cannot be quickly conquered within a day, the high-end combat power of Evilwood City will definitely come to support.

This will make the troops that break into Evilwood Territory more passive!

In other words, if it can’t win quickly within a day, the price to pay may be multiplied by an unknown number of times!

It’s so difficult for high-level to beat low-level!

How can you reason with Miracle City crushing the lower ranks?

How can you not be shocked when you witness Miracle City ending the battle with an absolute crushing advantage?

Black Iron Fortress is the southern gateway of Evilwood City, and the strategic significance of this battle is very important. It’s like kicking open the gate of Evilwood City!

Miracle City will have the ability to march straight into the enemy’s territory with a large army.

Conversely.

If Evilwood City wants to threaten Miracle City again, it must first retake Black Iron Fortress.

After Qi Ji successfully refined the core of Black Iron Fortress and transformed the area into Miracle Territory, the law protection it received was the same as Miracle Territory, which means that units exceeding Second Order will be suppressed.

Only use Second Order troops.

Is it possible to retake the Black Iron Fortress?

Even if it’s possible, the price is unbearable!

Black Iron Fortress has already become a big poison pill from the moment it fell.

Evilwood Forest is in a dilemma, eating it or not. If they fight, they must be mentally prepared for the loss of elites. If they don’t fight, Miracle City can use this as a springboard to directly attack the core main city at any time.

This is the value of a strategic location!

This battle greatly improved the geographical environment of Miracle City.

From now on, they will be in a more proactive position in the confrontation with Evilwood Forest!

Visarous has reason to believe that with the strength of Miracle City, in as short as ten days or half a month, or at most one or two months, annexing Evilwood Forest is not a problem!

Joining Miracle City to become a Territory Hero.

Perhaps a completely correct option!

Because the future potential of this Underground City is hard to believe.

Although Visarous was already tempted at this moment, becoming a Territory Guardian Hero is equivalent to completely pledging his allegiance to Lord Qi Ji. He will no longer be able to break away from the relationship with Miracle City, and there are too many interests involved.

It’s difficult to make a choice immediately in such a short time.

As for joining Miracle City and becoming a Miracle City citizen?

Visarous doesn’t mind this, but it’s troublesome to achieve this step because he has already completed the awakening of the Adventurer’s Soul in the Underground City controlled by the Pale Truth Society.

The mobility of Foreign Race adventurers cannot be compared with that of Human Race adventurers.

If Visarous wants to switch to Miracle City, he can only completely abolish his current Adventurer’s Soul, and all his cultivation will be reduced to zero in an instant, and the success rate of re-awakening the Adventurer’s Soul will also be greatly reduced.

The price is too high!

He has to consider it carefully.

……

After the live broadcast ended.

Qi Ji teleported to Black Iron Fortress.

The campaign has completely ended.

Both the interior and exterior of this fortress were severely damaged. It is not difficult to see from the traces of the battlefield that the battle was tragic, especially when the adventurers successfully broke through the city gate defense line and entered the fortress for close combat.

At that time, although Black Iron Fortress had only four thousand elites left.

But relying on the familiarity with the terrain, plus the use of various formation mechanisms, the adventurers suffered a lot. Most of the personnel losses in this battle occurred in the fierce internal street fighting.

Fortunately, the adventurers of Miracle City have many means, numerous abilities and extremely strong adaptability.

So in the end, the city was still taken without any suspense.

“Report to Lord!”

“The Darkness Race has been completely annihilated!”

“We have seized about 42,000 pieces of equipment!”

“Various materials, ore, and other resources are estimated to be as many as 120,000!”

“…”

An adventurer came forward to report.

Qi Ji expressed great satisfaction.

He immediately distributed the Contribution Points to the adventurers.

The 1,500 adventurers who participated in this battle each received more than eight hundred Contribution Points, and this is a big number, enough to make the adventurers feel that they have made a fortune!

And for the territory.

It injected another wave of currency liquidity.

This can promote the territory’s economic cycle, making the territory more prosperous, and preventing everyone from holding their Contribution Points without spending, which can lead to a lack of currency circulation and cause deflation.

“Report to Lord.”

“We have rescued seven thousand slaves!”

“Among them, nearly six thousand are from the Dwarf Race.”

“We have communicated with them, and these people are basically willing to join the territory and pledge their allegiance to Lord!”

“…”

Qi Ji spent tens of thousands of Spiritual Power to bestow Territory Marks on these people in one breath, so that Miracle Territory added a large wave of population, and the total population has reached more than forty thousand.

Very good!

Very good!

Population resources are in themselves one of the most precious resources!

Especially under the current situation where Miracle City has a lot of land but few people, and grassroots staff and labor force are extremely scarce.

Qi Ji then carried out some urgent construction on Black Iron Fortress, repairing its city walls, building Arrow Towers, and Reconnaissance Towers, as well as Territory Warehouses, Monster Camps, and other facilities.

He also deployed a Gatling Gun Tracker, two Rocket Launcher Trackers, and a small squad of Kobold machine gunners.

In this way, relying on the rugged terrain of Black Iron Fortress and its characteristics of being easy to defend and hard to attack, even if the Dark Poisonous Great Demon launches a counterattack, it will not be able to quickly retake the fortress, and the territory will have enough reaction time.

Human Territories have the advantage of teleportation and extremely high mobility.

Therefore, there is no need to deploy too many troops in the local area. As long as the main city maintains vigilance at all times, and the troops are kept in a state of quick response at any time, then reinforcements can be dispatched to any direction in time.

This strategic location is thus stabilized.

Qi Ji can relax and continue to enjoy the fruits of victory.

The first thing that came to mind was, of course, the Chaos Treasure Chest obtained after occupying Black Iron Fortress. The quality of this treasure chest is not low, and there is a probability of opening good things, and he felt that it should be done immediately.

【You opened the Chaos Treasure Chest, Soul Crystal +35000, “Blueprint: Monster Seal Altar” +1. 】

Only one blueprint?

Although the content is not much.

But the quality of the blueprint is not low.

Qi Ji’s eyes lit up: “It’s actually a Monster Altar? This thing is just useful!”

View the blueprint.

【Blueprint: Monster Seal Altar】, Third Rank Rare blueprint, Construction Requirements: 12,000 Soul Crystals, 8,000 Materials, 6,000 Spirit.

A Third Rank Rare building.

A supporting facility for the Monster Camp.

It can only be built in a Monster Camp that is not lower than Third Rank to be effective.

The function of the Monster Altar is very simple, it can integrate any monster in the camp into the body of any Territory people in a sealed way.

Doing this.

There are at least two benefits.

First, monsters in the camp will have daily consumption. If they are sealed in the body of the territory people, although it will consume more materials during the ritual, there will be no extra expenses after the seal is completed.

Second, monsters sealed on the territory people are equivalent to giving that person the ability to transform into an Essence Soul, which is also equivalent to creating a long-term mercenary and also giving the monster wisdom.

Simply put.

The effect of the Monster Altar can be understood as.

A large group of ordinary people who are defenseless.

Make them become “human pillars of power” and merge with a certain territory monster.

These people will gain the ability to transform into an Essence Soul, and after transforming into the corresponding monster, they can not only exert the full strength of the monster, but also control the monster with their own wisdom to complete more complex actions.

Of course, the transformation effect has a time limit and a limit.

If the duration is too long, the monster seal will fail.

If the monster power is overused, or the host suffers a fatal wound, it may cause the monster to die.

Therefore, the people sealed with monster power must use this power with caution, and they must return to the Monster Camp every once in a while to use the Monster Altar to repair the seal or replenish energy.

In addition.

Every territory people.

Can only seal one monster.

However, you can change the monster power by unsealing.

In general, the effect of the Monster Altar is a bit like the Mercenary House. Both can temporarily give specific territory people monster power. However, there are great differences in the specific operations.

The Mercenary House operates with Essence Soul and can only be used on adventurers. The advantage is that the cost is low, but it can only last for one day.

The Monster Altar directly uses existing territory monsters, which means that the territory monsters must be summoned first, and the cost of summoning monsters is usually more than ten times that of creating level mercenaries.

This also means that the total cost is actually very high.

However, the advantage is that it is not limited to adventurers, and any citizen can become a vessel, and as long as they do not actively use this power, the shelf life of the monster power is very long.

With the Monster Altar.

Qi Ji can develop new types of monster soldiers.

He can select a group of citizens with very low levels, very weak strength, but enough loyalty and reliability, and choose monsters from the Monster Camp to seal them in their bodies, thereby forming the territory’s guard force.

The biggest disadvantage of monster soldiers is that they have no wisdom.

This can be solved with the Monster Altar.

Of course, Qi Ji can’t seal all the high-level monsters on the territory people, because once the seal is formed, the monster and the host will be bound. If the host has an accident or is assassinated before they can react.

There is no doubt.

The monster will also die.

The risks and costs cannot be underestimated.

Qi Ji was very satisfied with this harvest.

Although only one blueprint came out, it was exactly what the territory needed.

When Qi Ji completed all the follow-up cleaning work, it was already approaching six o’clock in the morning in Miracle City time, and this also means that the Underground City world is once again ushering in the opening time.

……

When the Chaos Tide once again enveloped the world.

This means that the conflicts on the Chaos Continent have temporarily come to an end.

Thousands of adventurers flocked into the hall, and for them, the happiest moment of the day was this!

Visarous, with twenty High-Level Undead, walked into the Secret Realm Hall. It is not difficult to see that the Miracle City adventurers have once again opened the city and filled it in seconds, and the number has increased significantly compared to yesterday.

Although many things have happened in a short period of time.

But at this moment, Visarous has put other things behind him.

Now nothing is more important than enjoying the Secret Realm and enjoying the adventure.

Akru said: “I can complete the job change quest soon, and I heard that the next main story will go to Sky City on the West Coast.”

“Sky City?”

“What place is that.”

“It is said to be related to the Heavenly Realm, which is where the Gunner came from before arriving at Arad.”

“What? It seems that the worldview of the Arad Continent Secret Realm is actually far more than Arad itself. We may be able to explore the Heavenly Realm in the future!”

“…”

The adventurers were all curious.

Sky City sounds very gimmicky, and I don’t know where it came from, what kind of plot story it has, and how many new and strange monsters they will encounter in it.

Decoding the mysterious unknown.

Constantly challenging and exploring.

This is the greatest happiness of the adventurers.

Visarous is about to reach level 19. He plans to take a few Undead Race members to farm “Zombie King”, which is the King difficulty Dark Thunder Ruin, to help them complete the job change and level up, then complete the main quest and go to the West Coast Sky City to adventure.

It’s best to find a helper.

This will make the process faster.

Visarous noticed the nearby Black Stone Hammer King.

“Little Black, what are you planning to do today? Are you going to farm Zombie King together?”

Black Stone Hammer King just activated the Secret Realm Crystal. When he received the invitation from the old Lich, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: “Not in a hurry, not in a hurry. I heard that the Black Light’s Arrival Arc has been updated, I plan to go to the Black Light world and have some fun first.”

The Black Light of the Tidal Wave Secret Realm?

After Visarous entered the Secret Realm Hall.

He had already noticed that many adventurers were discussing this topic. At this moment, as the Secret Realm Crystals were activated one by one, many adventurers also chose to challenge the Black Light.

Of course.

Because Black Light is charged.

Therefore, not all adventurers who are interested in it have the capital to challenge.

Those adventurers who really want to challenge Black Light but are short of money, they ran to the vicinity of the Secret Realm Crystal that was challenging Black Light to watch, which shows that this Secret Realm is also quite popular in Miracle City.

Visarous couldn’t help but feel a little interested.

Anyway, the day is quite long.

Let’s see what’s going on first.

Visarous let Akru and other High-Level Undead farm on their own first, while he stayed beside the Black Stone Hammer King’s Secret Realm Crystal and watched the latest content of the Black Light Chapter with a dozen adventurers.

After the crystal is activated.

Quickly select the Doomsday Tide Secret Realm.

When you choose the “Black Light’s Arrival Arc”.

Beyond the original length of the chapter.

There is a new content called “Dark Prototype”.

This part of the Secret Realm content is also charged. The minimum value of a single chapter is 20 points, and the highest one or two chapters can reach 100 points. Of course, like the Black Light Chapter main story, the prologue of the Dark Prototype can be experienced for free.

“Really good!”

“This time, they are not producing while updating!”

“The Lord has released all the content in one breath!”

“Judging from the number of chapters, although ‘Dark Prototype’ is just an outer story, the size is completely not under the main story, I feel that it is even more content than the main story!”

Black Stone Hammer King excitedly rubbed his hands.

“Hammer Bro!”

“Don’t waste time!”

“Hurry up! I want to watch!”

Of course, Black Stone Hammer King didn’t want to waste his precious adventure time. After he learned about the content and size of the Dark Prototype, he immediately chose to challenge the Secret Realm.

A continuation of the previous work.

But a completely new Black Light story.

It is now being presented to all adventurers through the Secret Realm Crystal.
