Chapter 158 Timo's Thoughts

boom! boom!
bang bang!

As soon as Mo Yu returned to the territory, the sound of fighting came into his ears.

His expression changed as he recognized the sounds of the Exploding Flame Tower and the Flying Rock Tower attacking.

The territory must have been attacked by monster forces!
This point is just after twelve o'clock in the morning.

Mo Yu hurried as hard as he could, but still couldn't get back to the territory before twelve o'clock.

But it’s not too late, as the territory is attacked by the newly refreshed monster forces.

He was not in a hurry to look for Da Zhuang or check the situation around the territory.

Instead, he directly opened the gate of war, released all the defense towers, and placed them in the nearby open space.

Immediately, the defense tower began to suppress with intensive barrage attacks.

In the darkness, there were bursts of sad cries of birds, and then they became quiet very quickly.

In less than a minute, the battle was completely over.

Not long after, Da Zhuang, who had just finished fighting at the front line, rushed over panting.

"Master, you're back... Just now... Just now, more than ten Cloud Wind Feather Birds came, and they have been dealt with."

He reported the situation panting and breathlessly.

Mo Yu nodded and waved, signaling Da Zhuang not to be anxious and to sit down and talk slowly.

Da Zhuang sat down respectfully, took a deep breath, and spoke much more fluently.

"Master, did you win this battle?"

Mo Yu would always come back directly through the City Return spell, and the spoils would be in his backpack. Da Zhuang was not very sure about the outcome.

I could only see some clues from the lord's expression.

"Haha, we're back with a great victory!" Mo Yu said with a big laugh without hiding any emotion.

After getting Mo Yu's affirmative answer, Da Zhuang's brows suddenly lit up and he laughed foolishly.

Now he sincerely hopes that the territory will become stronger and stronger, not for his own power in charge, but simply from the perspective of the territory.

"Come on, tell me about the situation in the territory today!"

"Okay, let's talk about resources first. Because the territory has entered a state of combat alert, not many resources were collected today, only one-third of yesterday's amount." Da Zhuang put away the smile on his face and reported seriously.

"Ah."

Mo Yu nodded. He was the one who issued the order, so he was of course very clear about the impact it would have.

In this operation, he took away most of the combat forces, so the territory here naturally had to focus on defense to avoid any accidents.

Correspondingly, today's resource collection volume has naturally been greatly reduced.

After getting a signal from Mo Yu, Da Zhuang continued to report the situation.

"The wood in the forest can sustain for quite some time, but the collection teams have been attacked more frequently in the past two days."

"What force did this?" Mo Yu was a little confused when he heard this.

All the larger forces around the territory have been completely wiped out, so where would the enemies come from to attack the collection team?

Da Zhuang shook his head, frowned and expressed his guess.

"It's not a force, it's the wild beasts in the forest, bears... tigers... wolves... everything. They must have noticed that the forest was being destroyed quickly, so they launched a surprise attack out of anxiety."

"Okay, I'll arrange for Bluman to take some people to clean up the forest tomorrow, so continue."

Now is not the time to consider environmental protection. We certainly cannot stop exploiting resources, and it is impossible to put it on hold just because of the resistance of a few wild beasts.

However, we still need to pay attention to this phenomenon.

After all, in the forest, in addition to these ordinary wild beasts, there are also many high-level magical beasts.

When we were on our way to raid the Fallen Monster Territory last night, we encountered quite a few level 4 and 5 monsters along the way, so we needed to be on guard.

Most of them are currently staying in the deeper parts of the forest and will not appear on the outskirts, so we will need to be on guard against them later.

Now Brugman can just do some simple cleaning.

Da Zhuang paused for a moment, then said with a worried look on his face, "As for stone materials, there are no places around the territory where we can collect them. Let's see if we can find a stone mountain nearby to mine them."

As the territory manager, he had some basic construction authority and was well aware that wood and stone were two extremely important basic resources for territory construction.

Since wood is close to the forest, it can be collected at any time and there is no shortage of it at this stage.

But with stone, the problem is bigger.

All the stones, big and small, in the grasslands and wastelands surrounding the territory have been collected, and the territory has long been in a state of resource depletion.

If this situation continues, it will easily affect the future construction and development of the territory.

"This is indeed a problem." Mo Yu recalled the situation around the territory, and it seemed that there were indeed no stone mountains available for mining.

However, there are two places that you can consider.

One is the land of the dead near the territory. I remember passing by a stone forest when I attacked the undead territory last time.

The other place was the rocky area where the hard-haired rat monster was, and there were also many piles of stones of different sizes.

The resource reserves are not large, but they can temporarily alleviate the resource pressure of the territory.

The rocky area is far away, only about 10 to 20 kilometers away, so we won't consider going there for now.

But the stone forest in the land of the dead in front of you can be collected.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu came up with a plan in his mind.

"As for the stone, there is no rush for now. I will go to the Land of the Dead tomorrow to take a look. If there is no problem, I will prepare to mine the stone there."

"By the way, the lumberyard in the forest can now be put into use."

After the Fallen Monster's territory was wiped out, there were no major threats at least within the thirty kilometers outside the forest.

At the logging site, you can carry out mining with peace of mind.

As for the gold mine, let's wait and see what the shadow scouts find out.

Of course it would be best if it could be taken apart again, but if it cannot be taken apart again, it will have to be put aside for the time being.

After all, it's too far away. When arranging personnel to go there to collect materials, we also have to consider a series of issues such as the defense team and logistical supplies.

"By the way, are those Cloud Wind Feather Birds the only ones that attacked the territory at night?" Mo Yu suddenly asked.

Da Zhuang immediately nodded in response, "Yes, the number and strength of the monsters that attacked the territory tonight are obviously much weaker than the previous few nights."

"Please keep an eye on this area and see if there are any monsters coming over at night. Also pay attention to the situation tomorrow."

Mo Yu didn't think too much about it. After all, there was no need for the monster forces to be attracted to attack his territory after they were refreshed. They might also go in other directions.

He has a tactical radar tower at hand, so he is not worried about large groups of monsters hiding in the dark.

"Yes."

Da Zhuang wrote them down one by one with a very serious attitude.

Then, he gave Mo Yu a brief report on the performance of the entire territory's ranch, agricultural area and some personnel today.

There is no major change overall. The mood of the black pigs at the ranch has stabilized and it is said that production may be imminent in the next few weeks.

In agricultural areas, taro has basically survived through tuber planting.

The Harvest Tower is now full of life after the harvest rain.

Finally, speaking of Tazhai Library, Mo Yu called all the management staff in the morning, but unfortunately the teacher could not be found.

After all, there are not many educated people in the territory now, especially those who are proficient in the common language of humans.

Therefore, he asked Da Zhuang to pay attention to the situation in this regard.

Well, Da Zhuang actually found someone. To be more precise, he recommended himself.

Merrill, a young female magic apprentice under Annis, volunteered to take on this position.

What we hope for is to be qualified to browse the books in the library.

It is said that Annis also highly recommended her.

Mo Yu naturally agreed happily.

And make a plan to learn the common language of the human race for at least one hour every day starting from tomorrow morning.

In fact, if possible, Mo Yu would like to popularize Chinese.

It's a pity that he is the only one in the territory now, so it's impossible for him to teach in person every day.

After all, as a lord, he doesn't have time to focus on this.

However, the same goes for the common language of the human race. The purpose is only to enable them to understand the books in the library and have the ability to study further.

Combatants learn military skills, production personnel learn professional skills, administrative personnel learn management skills...

Mo Yu firmly believes that learning is the ladder to progress.

His requirements are not high. It will be enough to cultivate a group of basic technical talents for the territory in this way in the future.

"Okay, go down, and remember to replenish the ant chamber of the Earth Ant Nest Tower for me."

As he spoke, Mo Yu took out a few pieces of pretty good beast furs and decorative crystals from his backpack and handed them to Da Zhuang.

"Thank you, Master!"

After Da Zhuang bowed respectfully, he left the lord's courtyard holding the rewards in his hands.

Mo Yu came to his senses and released Lai Fu, Timo, Bruman and others from the War Gate.

Lai Fu barked a low greeting and then retreated back into his doghouse.

We dismantled the second-level territory crystal today, but it was really tiring.

As soon as it lay down, it caused a series of screams.

It turned out that two little Fire Demon Wolf cubs were sleeping in its kennel. This squeeze in made the two little ones suffocated and unable to breathe.

Bluman and others also went downstairs to rest. They had to take over Dazhuang's defense in the second half of the night, so they had to go to bed early.

When they left, the faces of all the Stef warriors were flushed with excitement.

For them, wiping out this fallen monster territory is not just about conquering a territory, but also about avenging years of pain.

Naturally, his mood was extremely excited, and his admiration and loyalty for Mo Yu also increased significantly.

Bluman directly reached the highest level of loyalty required to become a follower, and the rest of Stef's axe soldiers also reached the level of loyalty required to become a follower.

Although the Minotaur warriors were not as good as Stef's axe soldiers, the large wave of spoils of war they received as rewards made them have more recognition of Mo Yu.

Everyone quickly left happily with their spoils.

As everyone left, the lord's courtyard suddenly became quiet.

Turning around, Mo Yu saw Timo standing there in a daze.

"what happened?"

"Brother Mo, I want to tell you something, I..." Timo seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? It doesn't matter. You can tell your elder brother anything." Mo Yu rubbed his head with a loving look on his face.

It's rare for this little Teemo to have some ideas of his own, so of course he encourages them.

"That is...when we fight in the future, can you let me fight as well? I don't want to just be a spectator."

"I know that Brother Mo has good intentions and wants to protect me and not let me get hurt. But... but this way I will always be a child who can't grow up."

"I don't want to be like that... I... I hope to be a hero like my ancestor and fight like him!"

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment. He had indeed ignored Timo's thoughts and always treated him as a child.

After a moment, a fatherly smile appeared on his face.

"The fact that you can think like this shows that you have grown up."

"Okay, from today on, your scout team will officially become an independent army in the territory. Like Salt, Bruman and the others, you will begin to take on various military tasks such as night watch and patrol."

"How about this? Are you satisfied?"

Timo's face lit up with joy, "Thank you, thank you, Brother Mo!"

"But you have to remember that our ancestors did not fight recklessly. Don't just be brave for a moment on the battlefield."

"Okay, let's go and rest!"

Rubbing Timo's furry little head, Mo Yu urged him to go to bed.

I stayed up late yesterday to make a sleeping potion, and then went to attack the territory of the Fallen Monsters, so I had almost no rest.

As Timo also entered the room, Mo Yu was the only one left in the lord's courtyard.

Today, after solving such a serious threat as the Fallen Monster Territory, he felt refreshed.

The whole person feels much more relaxed.

After arranging everything, Mo Yu began to empty his backpack.

Two construction drawings, a third-level wheat field resource point construction drawing, and a fighting training ground construction drawing.

He chose to build directly.

Territory construction and defense tower development are equally important and should not be neglected.

Defense towers are more responsible for defending territory, and most of these building blueprints are more suitable for construction into buildings.

The most important thing is that both buildings can be used by Mo Yu.

Wheat fields can provide staple food for the territory, while the fighting training ground is a place suitable for the people in the territory to hone their combat skills. Both are very useful buildings.

Three barrels of magic arrows, totaling sixty.

There are a large number of them, and most of them come with special effects, making them excellent materials for transforming defense towers.

In addition, there are various materials and items such as fruits, fine iron, tungsten steel, wheat brew, magic well water, etc.

Mo Yu threw all the fish into the warehouse.

There are two fourth-level magic crystals, one is the lightning magic crystal and the other is the earth magic crystal.

Now that I have accumulated a considerable amount of magic crystals, I can start considering upgrading some of the defense towers to level five.

There are 7 magic scrolls, all of which are fireball scrolls, probably because they are good at fire magic.

Therefore, I didn't think much of this kind of fire scrolls and didn't carry them in my backpack. Instead, I threw them in the warehouse.

Including the 13 fireball scrolls that Annis made today, Mo Yu accumulated 20 fireball scrolls in one go, and could transform a large number of elemental defense towers.

It is worth mentioning that with the help of a group of magic apprentices, Annis's scroll-making process was much faster.

I’m still not fully familiar with it today, and I heard that the output will be even higher tomorrow.

There are three equipment production drawings, the Elf Standard Longsword, Sauron's Heavy Hammer, and Novagr Spiked Shield.

In addition, the huge explosion of the storage box of the Fallen Monster Lord directly increased his resource reserves significantly.

Including today's collected resources, among Mo Yu's four basic resources, wood reached 22418 units, stone reached 19245 units, and gold coins reached 17758 units.

As for magic power, it reached 93172 units in one fell swoop.

In other words, you no longer need to spend time accumulating resources to advance to the third-level territory, you can upgrade it immediately!

Fallen monsters, you are such good people!
