Chapter 98 Recruiting Shadow Scouts

Collect resources, kill monsters, explore the map...

The new day passes quickly in the busy pace.

For the entire day, Mo Yu led the team to kill monsters on the grassland.

However, I encountered a small setback today.

First, the prairie wolf that was exploring the way was attacked by a black falcon, was caught on the spot, and flew away without a trace.

In less than ten minutes, we received the news that the prairie wolf had been killed.

It was a pity that the first type of soldier in the territory did not make it to the day of retirement and return home.

Later, when they were surrounding and killing a colony of spiral bees on the grassland, another accident occurred.

A group of strange-sounding bats suddenly attacked the team.

Their innate abilities evaded detection by the tactical radar and caught Mo Yu off guard.

In the fierce battle, two Stef axemen were seriously injured, and the remaining Stef axemen were also injured to varying degrees.

If Mo Yu had not returned in time and used 7 Holy Healing Towers to repeatedly treat him, his worsening injuries would have been stabilized.

I'm afraid that the territory's current third-level elite combat force will be reduced in number.

This encounter also made Mo Yu alert that the tactical radar tower is not omnipotent and one should not rely too much on its detection.

Of course, there are losses as well as gains.

The territory also made great gains today.

A large number of monster corpses piled up in the open space of the territory like a small hill.

The women of the Stef tribe are processing them quickly and skillfully.

The bones and flesh of those that are edible are removed and stored in the territory warehouse;

For those that cannot be eaten, separate the skins, fur, scales, claws and fangs into different materials and place them by category.

It’s a pity that I didn’t pick up anything good from the dropped loot.

Mo Yu handled it much more casually. He gave part of it as a reward to the Stef tribe, packaged part of it and sold it in the market, and only kept a few first-level spell scrolls to be transformed into spell towers.

Elemental towers do not distinguish between attack and defense types, and can be used as reinforcement materials for each other.

By combining these towers with the previous Bubble Tower, Holy Healing Tower and other defense towers, a rare Holy Healing Light Tower was successfully strengthened.

The Holy Healing Light Tower has both healing and purifying functions. It can heal injuries and purify curses.

In terms of resources, there has also been a significant increase.

The wood reached 2108 units, the stone reached 917 units, and the magic energy reached 2339 points.

As for gold coins, the equipment sold at a slightly lower price in the market sold very quickly, and I successfully accumulated 1768 pieces.

At the same time, the scale of livestock breeding has also expanded slightly.

There were thirteen fire rabbits, three spurred antelopes, and two more pack beasts.

The pack animal is a reptile similar to a lizard, but with a more robust body.

It has a broad back and excellent carrying capacity, and can easily carry items that are several times heavier than it.

It has a relatively docile character and is quite suitable for territory training.

The only regret is that they are rare on the grassland. I only met this couple after walking around for a whole day.

Feeling the thriving territory, Mo Yu felt extremely fulfilled.

Of course, there was something else that made him even more excited.

The Shadow Scout Camp was finally completed in the evening.

Mo Yu was quite looking forward to this rare third-level troop nest in the territory.

The first thing he did was to arrive outside the Shadow Scout Camp.

It was an inconspicuous dark grey convertible with the entrance half open, revealing the deep darkness inside.

At first glance, the darkness seemed to swallow even the sight.

I opened the properties of the Shadow Scout Camp and took a look. I found that the troops inside were already waiting to be recruited.

[Shadow Scout Camp] [Level]: Level 3 Rare
[Attributes]: A rare type of soldier, Shadow Scout, can be recruited. Recruitment quantity is 20/20, and weekly output is 10. Recruitment conditions: 180 units of wood and 150 units of gold.

[Feature Devouring]: Can devour dark magic crystals and upgrade the rank of the Shadow Scout Camp. Tip: The rank of the troops recruited in the troops' nest is only related to the initial rank, and subsequent rank upgrades will only affect the output of the troops.

[Introduction]: A place for shadow scouts to recruit and live.

"Can it be upgraded?" Mo Yu was a little surprised. It was the first time he saw a troop nest that could be upgraded.

He also sensed a more important piece of information, which was that upgrading the troop nests would only affect the troop production.

From this point of view, it is more cost-effective to use the Heart of the Soldier's Nest to transform it into the Heart of the Defense Tower.

"It's just that the cost is a bit high. After recruiting 20 people... um... 3600 units of wood and 3000 gold coins."

Mo Yu now has just over 2,000 pieces of wood and less than 2,000 gold coins. So, he can only barely recruit half of them.

"Let's start with ten!" Mo Yu made a decision quickly.

The territory is still in great need of such scout troops to expand the scope of exploration. Teemo alone is far from enough.

As the recruitment was chosen, the curtain of the Shadow Scout Camp was lifted, and a series of figures emerged from the dim light.

They were wearing black and grey tights, their figures were blurry, and they stood there as if they would disappear at any moment.

Judging from their body shapes, there are both male and female genders, but their expressions seem to be carved from the same mold, giving people a cold feeling.

"Lord Lord!"

The ten people saluted at the same time, and then stood still, maintaining a military posture.

Mo Yu nodded as a response, and silently opened their messages.

Shadow Scout

[Level]: Level 3 Rare
[Abilities]: Invisibility, Shadow Jump, Shadow Power.

[Description]: A warrior who controls the power of shadow, skilled in reconnaissance and assassination.

Shadow Scouts have three abilities.

The first one is stealth, which allows you to enter a stealth state that lasts for five minutes, and moving will not cause you to leave the stealth state.

It is much stronger than Teemo's invisibility. Mo Yu feels it is necessary to arrange for Teemo to come and study with him.

Second, shadow jumping, which allows one to quickly move into a shadow within ten meters.

Whether used for escape or assassination, it is an extremely powerful ability.

Third, the power of shadow, which is a kind of power under its control, will be attached to the attack, causing continuous corrosive damage to the target.

These three abilities are more than enough to be used as a scout or an assassin.

The Shadow Scout's weapon is a pair of dull daggers that have been specially treated so as not to reflect light.

In addition, there is a short crossbow equipped with ten short crossbow arrows.

"Now I have a task for you. That is to draw a map of the territory within 50 kilometers. The map must clearly mark the buildings, beasts, tribal forces and other information."

"Can it be done?"

"Yes!" ten people said in unison.

The movements and sounds are unified, and they feel like soldiers who have received military training.

Mo Yu was very satisfied with such quality and continued, "Time, I will give you three days, is it enough?"

"enough."

The ten shadow scouts took orders and left, without any complaints about being assigned the task just after arriving in the territory.

The soldiers recruited by the soldier nest will maintain a basically stable loyalty.

As long as you don't torture them too much or violate certain bottom lines, there won't be any big problems using it.

For example, the ogre’s bottom line is its food intake. If you feed it well, it will be very loyal to you.

If it is not fed well, its loyalty will plummet.

Another example is the nature elves and the dark elves. If these two feuding enemies are put together, their loyalty will also drop rapidly if not handled properly.
