Chapter 167 Territory Rename
Clang!
Amid the crisp sound of metal clashing, a figure flew out.

After he landed on the ground and rolled over to release the force, he quickly struggled to his feet, holding up the shield in his hand to face the oncoming bull-headed man with a huge axe.

The minotaur was panting, obviously very tired.

And its opponent is Mo Yu.

What he is doing at this moment is a virtual competition in the fighting training ground.

Opposite him is a computer data based on the template of a Minotaur warrior, serving as his sparring partner.

What Mo Yu is practicing is the most basic defensive skills, shield blocking and basic force unloading.

Now he has gone through the most basic slow-motion tutorial and entered practical training.

This process took Mo Yu two full days.

After destroying the Land of the Dead, Mo Yu did not go out to explore for two consecutive days.

Every day, only Salt, Timo and Bruman took turns leading the team to hunt.

Mo Yu himself was concentrating on conducting defense and evasion training in his territory.

This was a way he came up with after reflection to effectively improve his ability to save his life.

All along, when facing enemy attacks, Mo Yu relied on the powerful defense BUFF added by the Son of the Tower to resist.

There is no skill at all, just take 100% of the damage.

After special training in defense and evasion in the fighting training ground, the combat skills such as blocking, unloading force, and avoiding that he mastered can help Mo Yu suffer less damage.

This is also what modern Blue Star humans like them lack.

The vast majority of humans on Blue Star lead peaceful and stable lives on weekdays and lack this kind of combat skills.

Mo Yu now wants to make up for this shortcoming.

So in the past two days, apart from eating and sleeping, most of my time was spent in the fighting training ground.

Sometimes when I get tired of playing, I go to the library to study.

After high-intensity training, Mo Yu gained a lot.

Basic defense and evasion capabilities have been greatly improved, and practical experience has also been greatly enriched.

On the other hand, you will have a better control and understanding of your own body.

In fact, after being promoted to the third-rank lord, Mo Yu's physical attributes have been greatly improved.

But in reality, these properties are not fully developed, perhaps even less than 50%.

After a few days of training, I have finally developed the enhanced physical attributes.

His body has become more flexible, and he has learned a lot about the basics of blocking and unloading.

Now without the defense BUFF of the Son of Tower, Mo Yu can easily defeat the second-level Stef warrior.

But when facing the third-level Tauren warrior, it is still at an absolute disadvantage.

For example, right now, he could only barely resist the attack of this minotaur warrior.

Bang!
With a loud bang, the Minotaur swung his giant axe down. Mo Yu, who had lost too much strength, was unable to resist in time and was chopped out of the fighting training ground by the axe.

"call!"

Mo Yu touched his body with lingering fear, fortunately, all the parts were still there.

Although the fighting training ground is a virtual battle, the perception is completely simulated.

The damage caused by the axe just now was really painful.

He calmed himself down on the spot, quickly recovered his spirits, and checked the time.

Not bad, I held on for another minute.

Mo Yu felt very excited and even had the illusion that he was a martial arts genius.

In other words, he was not sent to Shaolin or Wudang to work since he was a child, otherwise he would have come to this foreign world as a martial arts master.

"The intensive training can come to an end for the time being. Next, I just need to spend some time every day to consolidate it." Mo Yu said to himself.

After all, he is not a combat soldier. As a lord, it is enough for him to have decent skills. There is no need for him to become very strong.

The more important thing is to develop the territory.

However, the training during these two days does not mean that the development of the territory will come to a standstill.

Production, gathering, hunting, exploration... never stopped for a single day, except that Mo Yu did not participate.

In fact, even if we don’t conduct combat training these two days, we won’t gain much from going out to explore.

Most of the resources in the area near the territory have been explored, just some scattered wild monsters.

New resources will not be available until the end of this week, and it will not be too late to explore then.

Of course, there are resources to explore in places farther away.

For example, the underground world on the other side of the two-way portal costs too much time to get there. Once you leave, it will take at least two or three days to return.

Given the current situation in the territory, Mo Yu is still a little worried about going out and not coming back for a few days.

Things are changing fast in the Territory these days.

The impact brought by the Undead War has been gradually repaired, and there is no trace of the war left at the South Gate.

The current walls of the territory are all three-step stone walls, more than three meters and nearly four meters high.

The most prominent change is that the city wall is much wider and is no longer a thin stone wall.

The entire thickness reaches two meters and is wide, with an extra circle of corridors on top where soldiers can stand and defend from a high vantage point.

With such a wall, the territory now barely has the appearance of a town.

Mo Yu's territory has now completed the expansion of the third-level territory, with an area of ​​1000000 square meters.
It seems like a lot, but if you convert it into units, it is actually only 1 square kilometer.

However, considering the current population of the territory, this area is already quite large.

Behind the city wall, a hundred meters away, is the expanded pasture.

There are a small number of cattle and sheep, as well as a large number of tinder rabbits.

Most of these tinder rabbits are half bald and look very ugly because their fur has been harvested to make blankets.

Next to the fire rabbits is a group of jet-black black-haired pigs. More than a dozen lively piglets can be seen huddled around their mother to suck milk.

They were born last night. Mrs. Ster from the ranch took good care of them, and the Tree of Life Tower provided shelter for the growth of the young lives.

The piglets were very healthy and none of them died.

In agriculture, Hard's potato cultivation continues.

In another experimental field, Timo's mushroom strains were planted. He was trying to cultivate his own natal mushroom according to Mo Yu's instructions.

Several resource points have also contributed a large amount of resources in the past few days.

At least half of the ordinary citizens must be deployed every day to collect all the resources from the resource points.

The main issue is efficiency. Relying on manual collection will naturally not be fast.

The Goblin Engineer's mining machine has shown some signs of improvement.

It is said that if we give it another week or two, we will be able to produce a test machine.

To this end, Mo Yu specially mobilized the personnel from the forging department to cooperate with it in the manufacture and modification of the mining machine.

Because most of the manpower is concentrated at the resource points in the territory, the only ones going out to collect materials are the wood-collecting team heading to the forest and the stone-collecting team heading to the Land of the Dead.

In terms of military, the number of rune golems was expanded to two hundred.

The number of plant puppets controlled by the three jungle herders has reached three hundred, which is the limit of what they can control at present.

Among them, there are two plants that are extremely large banyan giants, with strength reaching the third-order rare level, and the rest are mostly ordinary and rare levels.

It is also worth mentioning that Salt successfully recruited a community of flying creatures.

Spearow, a bird with a very impatient temperament, is a rare third-level creature that is good at using fire magic.

There are more than a hundred of them, tamed on the floating island. On the other hand, the defense tower has changed.

The Bone Decay Tower is promoted to the fifth level, gaining a new feature, Joint Destruction. Its curse will have a chance to directly cause the opponent's joints to break.

In addition, there are 12 newly added flaming towers and 21 fireball towers, but there is still some distance to go before the hundred-tower formation can be realized.

"Call everyone over here, I'll explain what's going on."

Mo Yu gave some instructions to Da Zhuang, then turned and went into the house to take a shower.

When I came out, everyone outside the yard had already arrived, about twenty or thirty people in total.

These people include management like Da Zhuang and Uhtred, as well as reserve talents who are being trained like Merrill.

"What are you standing for? Come in, sit down, and be more casual."

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to come in.

After the lord's courtyard was upgraded to the third level, the space expanded a lot. The originally cramped living room has now expanded to accommodate forty or fifty people.

Seeing everyone had entered the living room and sat down, Mo Yu cleared his throat and began to give orders.

"I'm going out today, Salt. You'll come with me later and take all the prisoners in the dungeon with you."

Salt nodded to show that he understood.

"Teemo, your scout team needs to expand their reconnaissance range. Recently, fewer and fewer monsters are spawned every night. It's very strange. Find out the reason."

"Yes, sir!" Timo responded seriously.

Mo Yu looked at Bruman and continued.

"Today's hunting activities will be suspended. You and your troops will stay in the territory. Guards must be arranged on the city walls, sentry towers, and strategic centers. Keep a high level of vigilance."

"As you command, Lord."

Bruman answered with great vigor.

After consuming a large amount of red blood berries, his strength has been successfully upgraded to the rare fourth level.

In comparison, Da Zhuang's qualifications are much worse.

He ate a lot of red blood berries, which were still rare, but his strength was still improved by one level, reaching the second level rare level.

"The output at the Ministry of Magic is still a little insufficient. How are the magic apprentices doing now?"

"Four people have already gotten started and can make scrolls independently, but the success rate is not high." Annis lowered his head and answered respectfully.

"I'll give you another week to increase the production to 30 sheets per day. Can you do it?"

Hearing Mo Yu's light words, Annis was startled, hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and agreed.

Everyone around lowered their heads, as if they didn't see anything.

"Animal Husbandry Department, the breeding of black pigs... Artisan Department, how is the research on mining machines going..."

Mo Yu explained everything one by one, and finally suddenly sneered.

"Recently I heard that some people sleep in early classes, huh?"

As soon as the words fell, several people knelt on the ground.

"Why, do you think you have already mastered all the skills and don't need to continue learning?"

"With just a little bit of kung fu, do you really think you're a master?"

"Everyone, there was once a master named Lu who said that a true master always maintains the heart of an apprentice. I hope you will keep this in mind."

In the crowd, Timo stared with bright eyes. He felt that the words of this Master Lu touched his heart.

Everyone bowed their heads, their faces filled with remorse.

"We, the Tazhai, will build an empire in the future. I hope you will think carefully about where you will be able to stand when that day comes."

"Those who sleep during early classes will work in the mines for a week."

"Don't let me see this kind of thing a second time."

"Okay, let's all get down."

Mo Yu waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

What he said today was not simply because some people slept during the morning class.

It was because he clearly felt that after successively dealing with the two great enemies, the Undead and the Fallen Monsters, some people in the territory were clearly in a state of relaxation.

So, at this juncture, he gathered everyone together to tighten the screws.

However, after Mo Yu finished speaking, most people left, but Da Zhuang and several other managers stayed behind.

"Is something wrong?"

Da Zhuang, Uhtred and others looked at each other, and finally Da Zhuang stood up.

"Master, it's like this. You see, our territory has grown to this size now. Isn't it a bit..."

"Somewhat low-class?"

"No, no, no, how can the name you gave not be classy?" Da Zhuang shook his head repeatedly, sweating profusely in anxiety.

Mo Yu smiled and said, "I know what you mean. It was really nothing to call it Tazhai before. Now there are so many people in the territory, and it has developed to its current scale... Do you have any good name suggestions?"

He knew that Da Zhuang and the others also meant well.

The name Tazhai is indeed not classy, ​​and it also lacks a sense of honor for the people in the area.

For example, when I go out in the future, people may say, "I am from XX Empire," and ask, "Where are you from?"
Come on, I'm from Tazhai?

Mo Yu had actually thought about changing the name, but had never kept it in mind. Now that it was brought up, they decided to discuss the change.

"You guys are the ones who asked me to change my name, so why don't you have anything to say now?" Mo Yu urged.

"How about the Holy Tower Empire?" Da Zhuang scratched his head and took the lead in proposing.

This was a name he plagiarized after seeing a name called the Jihad Empire in a book while studying.

The owner likes towers so much, he will definitely like this name.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yu shook his head.

The Holy Tower Empire has no class at all, it's only slightly better than the Tazhai.

"It's called the Battle Axe Empire. You see, we all use axes." Bluman raised his axe proudly, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"Who else uses an axe besides you idiots?"

Bluman's eyes widened, and he was about to retort, but when he saw it was Uhtred, he immediately fell silent.

"In my opinion, it should be called the Wanta Empire."

"How is the City of Life?" Salter also came to join in the fun.

Several people were arguing with each other, but no result was reached.

"Let's call it the Deep Blue Empire!"

"It's too early to call it an empire now, so we'll call it the Deep Blue City."

After Mo Yu said this, everyone suddenly quieted down.

Now that the lord has spoken, there is nothing to argue about.

"What a nice name, you are worthy of being the master!" Da Zhuang was the first to react.

Anis, Shahru and others also praised him.

Although I don't know why the lord called him Deep Blue, it's right to praise him. As a subordinate, I don't have such good sense.

Mo Yu looked at the expressions of the crowd and couldn't help but laugh, but then he felt a little disappointed.

Yeah, how would you know.

My home is called Deep Blue!
