Chapter 75 Territory Advancement
"Sir, Captain Timo reports to you!"

Mo Yu felt a tightness in his heart when he saw Timo, who was covered in dust.

Fortunately, no injuries were seen, so there should have been no fighting.

"Well, I'm glad you're back safely." Mo Yu nodded, feeling relieved.

"Sir, I have made several important discoveries this time."

"The Fallen Monster tribe is located in a valley deep in the forest. It is in a very hidden location. If I hadn't followed the Fallen Monsters out, I might not have been able to find them."

"The entire tribe is quite large, probably with a thousand people. But because there is only one entrance and exit to the valley, I was unable to find out the details."

"As for the distance, it feels like it's at least fifteen kilometers away from our territory. And I see that their main exploration direction is deep in the forest, so there are very few Fallen Monster teams coming this way."

"Also, I found two strange buildings on the way. One was a small house covered with vines. I didn't get close to take a look. The other one seemed to be a gold mine, but it had been occupied by fallen monsters."

Timo told all the findings in one breath, and only after he finished did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work. Let's go have dinner first. There are your favorite berries. After dinner, take a good rest."

"Yeah." Timo nodded and ran to the stove.

Da Zhuang received instructions and prepared food early.

"In the short term, the Fallen Monster Tribe shouldn't be able to find us. Let's develop for a while, at least until the ranking rewards from the Lord Competition Tower are distributed before making any plans."

"Teemo found out that their location is in a valley, and there is only one exit... Hehe, isn't this exactly what I want!"

"Block the exit with the defense tower and advance steadily inside. No one can escape."

Mo Yuguai smiled, as if he had already seen the scene of the defense tower blocking the gate of the Fallen Monster Tribe.

To be honest, the place they chose is indeed a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But for him, an unreasonable defensive lord, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the advantage of the defense tower in blocking the door can be maximized.

Unconsciously, this tribe of fallen monsters has become Mo Yu's target of hostility.

This is not just because they are Mrs. Ster's enemies. For him, even if it is not the tribe of fallen monsters, other elves, goblins or even human tribes will be destroyed.

Because this is how the world is, it's either you die or I die, especially between territories.

Mo Yu wants to develop quickly, and plundering is the best way. He will never let go of any fat sheep near the territory.

That’s right, such a large tribe of fallen monsters has long become a fat sheep in his eyes.

Pulling his thoughts back, Mo Yu turned his attention back to the territory in front of him.

He opened the territory panel and checked the current resource situation.

In just one afternoon, the territory's timber reached 2479 units. It must be said that Mrs. Ster's work efficiency is indeed high.

This is also related to Mrs. Ster's strong physique. Their felling and transportation speeds are far faster than those of the previous farmers.

Moreover, there are more tools and more people, so it is normal to have this efficiency.

There is a large bald area on the outskirts of the forest, but compared to the entire forest, the lack of a few trees is nothing.

Moreover, as the territory continues to expand, the forest will inevitably be included. It will be convenient for the territory if the forest is cut down early.

"At this work efficiency, if we continue to rush for another day tomorrow, we will be able to gather enough wood to build the Shadow Scout Camp." Mo Yu was very pleased. This is the advantage of a large population.

Of course, if you can eat, you can really eat.

The food reserves in the territory were being consumed very quickly, and hunting alone was the only way to survive in the short term.

But now the territory has just been built, and there are enough wild animals near the territory. After a few days of hunting, the number of wild animals will soon be sparse. By then, it will be difficult to maintain a stable supply of food and grass by hunting alone.

Mo Yu doesn't have a good solution to this problem for now, so he will just take it one step at a time.

At worst, I can spend resources to buy some food.

1279 units of stone, 1088 gold coins, and 2874 points of magic power.

The bulk of the magic energy was obtained by Mo Yu hunting a group of fire wolfs. Bruman's hunting team achieved slightly less success.

More than fifty wild beasts were killed in one afternoon, and the total contribution was almost more than 600 points of magic energy.

However, they captured seven tinder rabbits and a two-level spurred antelope.

The spurred antelope was a female with a big belly.

These creatures were taken in by Mrs. Ster, who was in charge of breeding. However, there was no dedicated pasture in the territory, so they were temporarily tied up with a tough vine.

This is still possible now that the number is small, but when the number increases, we will have to have special pastures.

Mo Yu asked Da Zhuang to make a temporary plan in this regard. If he couldn't get the ranch blueprint, he would just make a wooden fence first.

As for the Tinder rabbit, it is a little more difficult to handle.

They are small and can dig holes, so it is best to surround them with stones.

In terms of loot, there are two resource bags, both of which contain food, 200 units.

As well as seven pieces of common equipment such as leather armor and long swords, all of which were low-level stuff, Mo Yu simply generously gave them to Stef's axe soldiers under Bluman.

This made them feel grateful again.

These Mrs. Ster gave Mo Yu a good impression. They were generous and simple. They were used to living in poverty, so it was easy for them to win their loyalty.

"Hiss, what's going on when I have too much magic power and can't help but want to turn the tower?"

Looking at the resources at hand, Mo Yu's heart was in turmoil.

Fortunately, he held back and decided to prioritize the territory advancement and Qingsha Lake construction.

"It takes 1000 units of various resources to advance a territory, and we have them all now. We are still short of some stone from Qingsha Lake, so we can exchange some for wood in the market. There are always random places in the territory that don't have forests nearby."

"So, with that calculation, there are about 1,500 mana points left, about 1,000 wood points, and probably not much other resources left."

"Then convert the defense tower first, and then consider building the Shadow Scout Camp after you have collected 5000 units of wood."

Mo Yu quickly sorted out the order, opened the market, and started looking for information about resources for sale.

Even after the novice protection period ends, the market will still be prosperous due to the huge population base.

Soon, he found a sale information of 500 stones in exchange for 500 woods, and he bought it without hesitation.

Mo Yu rubbed his hands, opened the territory panel, and selected the upgrade option.

Click to upgrade!

[Congratulations, your territory has been successfully promoted to the second level: you can choose any one of the following three items as a reward: a random first-level rare soldier nest; the territory population increases by 100 people; random primary territory building blueprints * 2. ]

[Reminder: You have been promoted to a second-level lord, and your strength has been slightly enhanced! ]

[Reminder: You have been promoted to a second-level lord, and you can randomly draw a primary lord skill! ]

Three prompts popped up one after another, and Mo Yu checked them carefully one by one.
