Chapter 196: Strong Military Power, You Don’t Want to…
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The first day back in the territory was destined to be extremely busy.
After sending the Ruins Guardians to various positions, Ji Chen hurried to the western side of the territory and took out the military recruitment camp cores he had acquired on King Kong Island.
He began constructing them one by one.
A few minutes later.
The originally empty s.p.a.ce, which only had a few recruitment camps standing, suddenly had dozens of them, neatly arranged in rows.
“Detected the appearance of evolved military recruitment camps. Do you want to spend resources to upgrade them all?”
The notification came from the Military Talent Tree.
Ji Chen showed an unsurprised expression and chose “Yes” without any hesitation.
As long as a military unit had advanced through the Military Talent Tree, any other military units of the same kind and origin could be a.s.similated to the same tier.
This was much more powerful than just raising the tier of one recruitment camp.
After a burst of light, the newly constructed Naga Warriors, Dragon Blood Murlocs, and Pure Water Sea Pixies recruitment camps were successfully upgraded.
Ji Chen didn’t rush to recruit soldiers; instead, he went to the beach.
By the waterside on the beach, he specifically set up a place for the recruitment camps of units like the Dead Octopus, which needed to be built in water areas.
Otherwise, if built on land, the recruits would just be stranded immediately.
As the seawater surged, ten statues of Lobster Riders emerged from the water, each featuring a lobster statue atop a semi-circular arch.
He took out eleven advanced crystals he obtained from the Ancient Land of the Divine Realm and began to think about which units to use them on.
Ten crystals could advance to Tier 4, and one crystal could advance to Tier 5.
At this point, the territory had a total of fifty-two military recruitment camps.
Choosing which units to advance and how many recruitment camps to advance was a question worth pondering.
After much contemplation, Ji Chen approached the ten Lobster Rider recruitment camps.
The Lobster Riders were purchased from King Kong Island and belonged to the sequence of marine cavalry based on their skills and appearance.
He thought about the possibility of upgrading them to the same tier as the Naga Warriors.
Their defense was almost the same as the Naga Warriors, their attack power was stronger by quite a bit, and they completely surpa.s.sed the Naga Warriors in speed.
The only drawback was that Lobster Riders were purely marine units and couldn’t fight on land.
However, Ji Chen still felt that it was worth using the advanced crystals to upgrade them.
Because the ocean was their main battlefield, he urgently needed a unit that could launch rapid attacks and react quickly.
Ji Chen made up his mind.
He first used the ten advanced crystals on the ten Lobster Rider recruitment camps.
The lobster statues that emerged from the water suddenly grew two circles larger, becoming harder and more vivid in appearance.
At first glance, they looked as if a giant lobster was floating on the water’s surface.
[Lobster Statue]
[Tier]: 4th Tier 1 Star
[Recruitable Unit]: Lobster Riders (4th Tier 1 Star)
[Recruitment Cost]: 80 units of wood, 80 units of clay, 80 units of crude iron
[Click to Recruit]
Advancing from 1st Tier 2 Star to 4th Tier 1 Star, it jumped two major levels.
Each one required 240 units of resources, and with ten recruitment camps, he could recruit 210 of them, which meant a total of 50,400 units of resources.
Seeing this data, Ji Chen couldn’t help but gasp.
Indeed, 4th Tier units were not cheap. For an average player, just this one recruitment would be enough to deplete most of their resources.
Because they were upgraded with advanced crystals, there wasn’t a significant difference before and after the upgrade.
So Ji Chen didn’t hesitate and began recruiting.
The lobster statues shook in unison, and the surrounding seawater churned violently.
Bubbles emerged in large numbers from the water’s surface.
One by one, sea clan warriors riding giant lobsters and wearing bone armor surfaced.
A cold aura from the deep sea pervaded the area.
These sea clan warriors had humanoid forms, but their entire bodies were covered in fins and scales. They held bone spears that were two meters long, and their eyes were blood-red, indicating that they were seasoned warriors with extensive battlefield experience.
The giant lobsters beneath them seemed like ancient and exotic creatures. They were the size of fully-grown bulls, with a horn on their heads and bone spurs and hooks at their joints, exuding a menacing aura.
It seemed to convey to others that they were not delicious delicacies but rather species that could bring death.
The lobster riders emerged from the water and naturally lined up in ten rows in front of Ji Chen, with almost identical intervals between each formation, showing their well-trained discipline.
The knights placed their bone spears on the bony racks on the sides of their giant lobsters’ heads and thumped their chests with their right hands, bowing in unison.
“Great Lord, we are willing to serve you and slay all enemies before us!”
Seeing this scene, Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Now, it truly looked like an ancient army.
“Follow me, and I will lead you to ultimate glory.”
Upon hearing this, the knights silently thumped their chests again, their determined gazes showing their unwavering resolve.
