Chapter 195 Exchange for Intermediate Lord Badge
"Today, the two hunting teams destroyed a total of 7 one-star strongholds, 4 two-star strongholds, and 2 three-star strongholds. In terms of harvest, there are 13 treasure chests, gold coins... In terms of resource collection..."

In the small courtyard, Da Zhuang was carefully reporting the overall situation of the territory today.

Mo Yu listened carefully, interrupting and asking questions from time to time.

In this way, he can keep abreast of the situation in the territory and adjust the next development plan in a timely manner.

The recent development of the territory is still going smoothly, the influence is expanding rapidly, and resources are accumulating rapidly.

However, Da Zhuang mentioned a problem, which is the problem of food and fodder in the territory.

Originally, according to the development trend of the territory, they planned to gradually complete the transformation from resource points to large-scale agricultural planting and animal husbandry.

The plan can't keep up with the changes.

After the battle last night, the population of three tribes were incorporated one after another, and they were all young and strong people who could eat.

There are also wolves and mountain giants joining in.

The territory's current resource output has become somewhat difficult to maintain.

But it will still take a long time for the territory's agriculture and animal husbandry to develop.

Even with the dual blessings of the Harvest Tower and the Tree of Life Tower, it would still take at least one to two months to harvest.

During this vacuum period, it would certainly be difficult to survive relying solely on hunting and replenishment from resource points.

Moreover, the temperature has shown signs of dropping, and it is very likely that we will have to face a winter with a shortage of supplies, which is also a difficult challenge.

Now that signs of a problem have already appeared, we naturally need to find a way to solve it quickly.

Otherwise, if it is delayed, it will only lead to disaster.

For the army, food and fodder are a big taboo. Once the supply is insufficient, riots are likely to occur.

"What's the current progress on Had's side?" Mo Yu rubbed his eyebrows and asked.

The fundamental solution to the food and fodder problem is to develop agriculture.

In a month or two, with the support of resource points, it would not be difficult to survive by finding a few monster tribes outside.

But if agriculture fails to develop, the problem of food and fodder will always be there.

Da Zhuang responded immediately to Mo Yu's question.

"There are now 150 acres of cultivated land in the agricultural area, of which 100 acres are planted with taro and the other 50 acres are planted with crop varieties selected by Harde."

"As for the big-headed taro, it will be ready for harvest in about a month. Because it is a wild variety, the yield per mu is not expected to be very high. With the addition of resources from the territory, it can barely reach around 700 to 800 kilograms."

"Seven hundred or eight hundred kilograms? How much can it reach after subsequent improvements?" Mo Yu was not very satisfied with the result.

You know, with the dual blessings of the Harvest Tower and the Soil Transformation Tower, the farmland in the territory has been transformed into extremely fertile fields.

In this case, the output of 700 to 800 kilograms is not much, to be honest.

"The first generation of improved varieties is expected to double in value!" said Da Zhuang.

"One times is not enough. Tell Had to at least double it again." Mo Yu said quickly.

With the help of the fertile fields built with the Tower of Harvest, and the occasional light of life from the Tree of Life Tower, the growth cycle of plants in Had and Timo's fields is extremely short.

In this case, doubling the output of the first generation of transformation was not a big problem, so he proposed a more challenging goal.

"Yes." Da Zhuang wrote it down quickly.

"Have the rice seedlings been raised? Has the field transformation been completed? When can we plant?"

"It will take another three days to grow the seedlings. We are currently reclaiming and transforming the paddy fields. It should be no problem to plant them on time. However, there are often flying creatures coveting these seedlings recently."

"Don't worry, I'll mobilize a group of arrow towers over there, and I'll also inform Salter and ask him to arrange some flying creatures to patrol over there!"

"Ok."

"The scale of animal husbandry needs to be further expanded. There are many herds of animals on the grassland. We need to catch more of them and feed them in advance..."

As Mo Yu spoke, Da Zhuang took notes carefully.

It took more than half an hour to sort out the current affairs in the territory.

Da Zhuang went downstairs. He wanted to quickly arrange the tasks for Mo Yu.

On this side, after Da Zhuang left, Mo Yu took out the 13 stronghold treasure chests with anticipation.

“Hehehe, it’s time for the fun unboxing session again!”

13 stronghold treasure chests were neatly stacked in front of Mo Yu, emitting various colors of light.

This is the benefit of developing territory power. You don’t have to go out, you can open treasure chests at home.

Today's harvest is not only these treasure chests, Mo Yu's conquest points have also successfully reached 114 points, which is enough to exchange for the intermediate lord rank badge.

The territory reputation value reaches 781 points. If you add more than points, you can get a territory bonus.

[Prompt, do you want to consume 100 battle points to exchange for the intermediate lord rank badge? ]

"Yes!"

As Mo Yu made the decision without hesitation, the number of battle points in his hands dropped rapidly and returned to double digits.

And in his backpack, there was a badge emitting a faint green glow.

[Intermediate Lord Rank Badge]: After using, you can start the Intermediate Lord Promotion Challenge Mission, and after completing it, you can be promoted to Intermediate Lord.

Mo Yu: ???
Looking at the properties of the badge in his hand, he scratched his head.

I thought that after exchanging this thing, I could use it directly to be promoted to a mid-level lord.

At least that's what I saw in the introduction in the Battle Point Mall.

But who knew that I would have to complete a challenging task.

What’s even worse is that if you fail, the badge will automatically disappear, and you can only wait until the next time you gather 100 battle points to start the challenge again.

"Okay, it's better if it's more difficult. At least there won't be so many intermediate lords running around!" Mo Yu figured it out quickly.

With his strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to pass the challenge, but it's not certain about other lords.

It was originally speculated that after completing this stronghold challenge, many people would be able to be promoted to intermediate lords, but now it seems that many people will be left behind.

Who made this world be like this?

Its essence is a sieve that continuously filters out weak lords.

If you want to stay and gain a foothold in the world of war, you still have to rely on your strength.

He put away the badge. He was too tired today and decided to talk about the challenge tomorrow.

There are still three days left until the end of the week. Mo Yu's plan is to rush to the underground world after clearing the strongholds near the territory on the last day.

There is still some time, so there is no need to rush.

After all, this thing is earned by accumulating 100 battle points, so you must be fully focused, otherwise if you fail, it will take a long time to waste.

Mo Yu regained his composure and looked at the treasure chest in front of him.

After a busy day, it’s better to do something relaxing.

[Hint: You open a one-star stronghold treasure chest and get rewards: 10 machetes, one-star soldier nest heart (farmer), and a bag of wood peanut seeds.]

[Hint: You open the one-star stronghold treasure chest and get rewards: Feather Fall Scroll*10, Fluorescent Beads*10, 900 Gold Coins.]

... [Hint: You open the two-star stronghold treasure chest and get the following rewards: Experience Book*3, Life Potion*5, Human Lancer Recruitment Scroll*3.]

……

[Reminder: Open the three-star stronghold treasure chest and get rewards: 7 battle points, general infantry training camp construction drawings, and gust of wind necklace.]

7 one-star stronghold treasure chests, 4 two-star stronghold treasure chests, and 2 three-star stronghold treasure chests opened up 39 pieces of loot very stably.

However, there are not many good things in it. After all, most of them are one-star stronghold treasure chests.

Generally, treasure chests of this level usually contain items such as resources and standard equipment.

Mo Yu looked through the items in the backpack one by one.

[Book of Experience]: A consumable item. Adventurers can slightly improve their own strength after reading and using it. There is a very small chance of directly upgrading.

[Universal Infantry Training Camp Construction Blueprint]: You can build a Universal Infantry Training Camp to train ordinary soldiers into universal infantry. It requires 1000 units of stone, 1000 units of wood, 1000 units of gold coins, 10 open spaces, 8 workers, and takes 22 hours to build.

[Picking Skill Book]: A second-level skill book that allows the target to master the ability to pick and strike, and use weapons to pick up the target and float it into the air. Learning conditions: Melee type soldiers.

……

[Feather Fall Scroll]: A first-level wind spell that can slightly reduce gravity and slow down the speed of falling. A one-time item that disappears after use.

[Air Shield Scroll]: A second-level wind spell that creates an air shield around the body to resist external attacks. A one-time item that disappears after use.

……

[Gas Necklace]: A rare equipment, containing the power of the gale. After use, it can increase the target's speed by 50% for five minutes. After each use, it needs to be charged for two hours before it can be used again.

……

There were 39 items, and it took Mo Yu nearly half an hour to clean them up and sort them out.

It mainly involves the issue of how to use items reasonably, and the thinking process took a lot of time.

Among these 39 items, 4 are Heart of the Arms' Nest.

There are 3 one-star soldiers and 1 two-star soldier, namely the farmer, the crawler, the big sword mantis and the leopard man.

Leopard men are two-star troops, and the rest are one-star troops.

Mo Yu left behind the leopard man and the farmer, among which the leopard man could serve as a supplementary source of leopard warriors under Salwen.

The Leopard Tribe has the method of training leopard warriors, which is equivalent to mastering the method of advancing leopards to leopard warriors. If trained properly, second-level leopards can be advanced to third-level leopard warriors.

This is the way to train soldiers in the world of conquest. The strength of all recruited soldiers does not remain constant after they are recruited.

Their strength may decline due to injury, or they may improve due to training.

Farmers, on the other hand, can serve as a supplementary source for ordinary citizens in the territory.

The territory's population is growing too slowly relying solely on refugee camps.

Now the number of combat troops in the territory has increased greatly, and the proportion of ordinary citizens is too small, so they also need to be expanded.

Mo Yu still fed the remaining two troop nests to the Tauren camp, increasing its weekly output to 42.

However, he also received a reminder that the expansion of the army's nest was about to reach its limit.

The production limit of the third-level Tauren Camp is 50 people. If you want to further improve it, you must first upgrade the level of the Tauren Camp.

This requires special items for certain types of soldiers and a bit of luck.

The ideal number of recruits for Mo Yu is at least 100 per week.

50 Tauren per week is still too slow. It will take another four or five months to form a Tauren army of a thousand people.

In terms of recruitment scrolls, there are 5 recruitment scrolls for 23 types of troops, all of which are first and second level troops and are not very valuable.

Mo Yu only recruited three of the human spearmen, and threw the rest into his backpack and handed them over to Lei Xiaolong when the time came.

Then there are resources, which occupy 19 categories, including various plant seeds, mineral wood resources, gems, potions, and battle points.

There are two types of spell scrolls: Feather Fall and Air Shield, both of which are wind spells.

Feather Fall is an auxiliary spell, suitable for parachuting from a high altitude, while Air Shield is a defensive spell that can play a good role in blocking long-range forces such as arrows and magic.

Naturally, it is also an excellent material for transforming defense towers.

There are 5 pieces of equipment, the rarest of which is the rare Wind Necklace, which comes with an auxiliary ability to increase the speed by 50%.

Mo Yu chose to use it for himself. It was a good thing to escape at the critical moment.

Transforming the Gale Necklace into a defense tower is certainly a good choice.

But considering that the defense tower was too restricted by the terrain and was not as convenient as carrying equipment with him, he still did not convert it.

Now as the defense towers are gradually saturated, Mo Yu is not so eager to convert the defense towers.

Generally, as long as it can be used, it will not be directly converted into a defense tower.

Except for the Gale Necklace, the remaining 4 pieces of equipment are ordinary standard equipment, warehouse goods.

There was also a book on the skill of striking, which he planned to give to Zhong Han.

As an adventurer's fighting force in the territory, Mo Yu still plans to train him well.

Zhong Han’s own fighting qualities are pretty good, and picking attacks on him can also produce good results.

The last one is the universal infantry training camp, which can train any type of soldiers into infantry. It was built by Mo Yu next to the military camp.

Overall, although the quality of the loot from the treasure chest this time is not as good as the previous batch, it makes up for it in quantity.

From all aspects, it plays a certain role in promoting the development of the territory.

Mo Yu was very satisfied, and sincerely hoped that the next time the stronghold refresh would be directly updated to a regular refresh.

These wild monster strongholds are so cute.

I feel embarrassed to be given battle points, equipment and buildings as gifts.

This also made Mo Yu look forward to the five-star stronghold treasure chest that exploded from the five-star element stronghold even more.

"Pharaoh's Staff, Tiwak Scimitar, Mummy's Shroud... Then Feather Fall and Air Shield... Well, now I have a lot of magic crystals and gems, so I can upgrade the defense towers!"

Mo Yu looked through the items in his backpack and couldn't help but smile.

Two pieces of epic equipment, rounding up, at least two epic defense towers, happy.

Come on, sons of the tower, start!
[Hint: You spent 10 points of magic power to transform the Feather Fall Scroll into a Feather Fall Tower.]

[Reminder: You spent 60 points of magic power to transform the item Air Shield Scroll into an Air Wall Tower.]

[Hint: Your luck is overflowing. The item Air Shield Scroll is transformed into an Atmospheric Shield Tower. It costs 1000 points of magic power! ]

……

[Hint: You spent 3500 points of magic power to transform the item Pharaoh's Scepter into a Stone Sealing Tower.]

[Reminder: You spent 2000 mana points to transform the item Tiwak Scimitar into Tiwak Scimitar Tower.]

[Hint: You spend 3 flame gems to strengthen the Flame Wolf Summoning Tower to level .]

[Reminder: You spend the fourth-level fire magic crystal to strengthen the Blazing Sea of ​​Fire Tower to the fifth level.]

……

　Happy New Year everyone!
