Chapter 119: Halfling Lair

"My lord, it's just ahead!" said the shadow scout, pointing ahead.

After last night's exploration, the shadow scouts were familiar with the route.

The team quickly arrived at the second refresh point.

This is a field soldier's nest.

Mo Yu had seen many other types of buildings, but this was the first time he saw a wild resource point.

After climbing over a slightly undulating grass slope, Mo Yu saw the wild troops' nest that the shadow scout had mentioned on the grassland below.

This is a low cave, covered with a lot of plants, with only a door that is less than waist-high.

Outside the cave, there were a large number of humanoid creatures that looked like dwarves gathered together.

They gathered around the cave with expressionless faces, holding various weapons such as axes and swords.

There were a lot of humanoid creatures, gathered together, making it difficult for the shadow scouts to attack them.

Mo Yu activated the reconnaissance technique to investigate the situation of this army's nest.

Halfling Lair

[Level]: Level 3 Field Soldier Nest
[Attributes]: Common halflings can be recruited, the number of recruits is 216/216, and the weekly output is 108. Recruitment conditions: 10 gold coins.

[Characteristic Aggregation]: When the number of recruitments in the field army nest is full, the weekly refreshed recruitment output will be automatically squeezed out of the nest, and the squeezed-out army will spontaneously gather near the nest. When the number exceeds a certain scale, it is possible to form a monster force.

[Introduction]: In the eyes of the adventure-loving halflings, exploration is a career.

"So many recruits?" Mo Yu was a little surprised.

However, as he learned more about the strength of those halflings, he soon understood the reason.

These halflings only have ordinary first-level strength.

In other words, the quality of the Halfling's Lair should essentially be that of a first-level ordinary troop's lair.

The third-level nest simply greatly increased their recruitment numbers.

"However, the army nests in the wild actually have the feature of automatically gathering."

"Doesn't that mean that we can also raise monsters?" Mo Yu's eyes lit up.

A normal lord would certainly not want to leave the soldiers in the wild army's nest unrecruited and thus create a threat, but Mo Yu is not a normal lord.

His defense tower needs a large number of monsters to feed it.

At this moment, the half-orcs below had already discovered Mo Yu and others on the grass slope.

But they behaved indifferently, no one warned them and no one came to communicate.

He just stared at Mo Yu and the others, holding his weapons, as if he could attack at any time.

"The attitude seems unfriendly!"

Mo Yu looked at this group of halflings and smiled.

His smile made the halfling over there dissatisfied, and he shot an arrow at him from somewhere in the distance.

Bruman stepped forward and deflected the arrow.

He turned around and looked at Mo Yu, his eyes inviting him to fight.

Mo Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

There are only a hundred monsters, so it is not necessary to kill the defense tower. It just saves the number of times the War Gate is opened.

Bluman's eyes lit up, and he roared excitedly, leading the other nine Stef axe soldiers and rushing into the half-body crowd like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Bruman took the lead, swinging the huge axe in his hand. With every swing of the axe, several halflings were chopped into pieces.

Stef's axemen followed behind him, swinging their axes wildly and round like a whirlwind, cutting a bloody path through the half-human crowd.

The halfling angrily raised his short weapon and attacked Stef's axeman.

But now Stef's axe soldiers are fully covered in armor, and the weak attack power of the halflings cannot cause any damage at all.

A group of people were like bulldozers, charging out and charging back, and after a few rounds, they smashed the halflings' formation into pieces. Everywhere there were halflings crying and trembling.

A few clever halflings knelt down and begged for surrender, but Mo Yu did not accept them.

In the subsequent development of the territory, the main race will definitely be humans, supplemented by the natural elves produced by the Tree of Life Tower.

The requirements for the remaining races are relatively higher, at least they must have some special abilities.

For example, Mo Yu chose the goblins because of the manufacturing technology they mastered.

The group of halflings in front of me don’t have any special features.

Love adventure?

Sorry, in Mo Yu's opinion, this feature is actually a disadvantage.

To put it nicely, it means loving adventure; to put it bluntly, it means being undisciplined.

Besides, the territory is not short of population for the time being; on the contrary, there is even a bit of excess.

At least we have to wait until the construction catches up before we can consider continuing to expand the population on a large scale.

After a brutal massacre, the halflings were quickly slaughtered, leaving only an empty cave.

It would cost more than 2,000 gold coins to recruit more than 200 halflings.

Mo Yu did not choose to recruit, and will come again next week to continue killing monsters.

This kind of troop nest with high output and low strength is really the first choice for monster hunting. If you keep it for a month, there will be at least four or five hundred monsters.

However, there is one thing Mo Yu still wants to verify.

That is the wild troops' nest. Does it have a resource heart like a resource point?

But soon, something embarrassing happened during the verification.

That is the entrance to the halfling's lair, which can only accommodate halflings. Neither Mrs. Ster nor the shadow scout can enter its interior space.

He just squatted and looked inside the cave. It was pitch black inside and he didn't see the heart of the soldiers' nest.

"Next time I come across a more normal wild soldier's nest, I'll go in and take a look."

Mo Yu had no choice but to give up.

Lead the team and continue to move towards the location of the next treasure chest.

Treasure chest No. 2 is not far from the location of the halfling's nest, only about one or two kilometers away.

If there were no grass or trees blocking the view, you could see its location directly.

When Mo Yu went over, the shadow scout was fighting with a monster near the treasure chest.

This is a turtle-like monster with a shell as big as a mountain on its back.

The carapace is covered with light yellow spikes, like stone pillars.

Mo Yu did some reconnaissance and discovered that the monster was called Little Rock Turtle, and its strength was mostly at the third-order rare level.

There are also several large rock turtles whose strength has reached the rare third level.

The Shadow Scout is an agile assassin-type soldier, so it is inevitable that it will have some trouble dealing with such a monster with strong defense.

Moreover, the Rock Turtles also mastered the art of ground spikes. They gathered together and continuously attacked the surrounding shadow scouts.

The situation was temporarily at a stalemate. The shadow scout only killed a few rock turtles with crossbows, and it was difficult to achieve any further results.

The warmongering Bruman was eager to try again, but this time Mo Yu did not allow him to rush forward.

The weak halflings just now were still okay, but now these rock turtles are very powerful.

Given the strength of Stef's axe soldiers, there might be casualties.

At this time, it is naturally Mo Yu's defense tower's turn to come on the scene.
