Chapter 292: 226: A massive change in the homeland! Six-star barrack construction!
“Boom!”
From out the murky mists, an armored soldier slashed his blade, instantly splitting in half an earth tank dragon whose size rivaled that of a commuter bus.
The force from his blade was so strong that it left visible traces on the ground.
“Brothers! Kill!”
At his side, hundreds of equally armored and superhumanly strong soldiers, wielding their long blades, cut down one tank earth dragon after another!
Behind them, streaks of arrows shot at breakneck speed, piercing through the sky, leaving behind obvious marks as they turned the mantises, who had tried to launch at them, into pin cushions!
The battle continued for just over an hour, during which thousands of tank earth dragons and wind mantises were massacred!
Even a much larger tank earth dragon BOSS, with two sharp horns growing from its head, was decimated by a handful of the armored soldiers!
As for a four-winged wind mantis BOSS, with a constant screeching piercing the air, it was taken down by the dense barrage of arrows and a sky full of flames!
Finally, within the devastated battlefield, a somewhat slim but still armored soldier swiftly approached a massive crystal, shattering the gargantuan home crystal with a single punch!
As the home crystal was shattered, the surrounding dark mist dissipated at a discernible rate, revealing the original forested landscape.
Afterward, he held a palm-sized Rift of Time and Space and came to a tall, breathtakingly beautiful woman.
“My lady Shadell! This is the last Rift of Time and Space from the alien beast’s lair, please keep it safe.”
Shadell accepted it, her gaze steady, “Alright, Zhang San…Captain, does our Lord have any other orders?”
She was still not accustomed to the status of Zhang San and others.
Only a few days had passed. How had Zhang San, a common day laborer, suddenly become so powerful!
His comprehensive strength had even surpassed the Golden Wolf Riders of their Gold Scorpio family!
What a joke!
The Golden Wolf Riders were seven-star military units, household knights, capable of leveling up to LV70!
Those common laborers could only level up to LV10…
All of this, was because…of our Lord!
Zheng Cheng!
Zhang San solemnly said, “The Lord commands that after clearing the five-star alien beast tank earth dragons, local fortifications such as arrow towers, walls, and tunnels are to be constructed and upgraded to LV6.”
“Oh?”
Shadell’s beautiful eyes lit up, “Our home crystal level has been upgraded to LV6 so quickly!”
Zhang San shook his head, “Not yet, but soon, at most two or three hours!”
“I see.”
Shadell nodded, “I will personally deliver this Rift of Time and Space to our Lord.”
“Thank you very much, Lady Shadell. Then, I shall take my leave!”
Having said that, Zhang San saluted, turned around, and started ordering the surrounding armored martial art soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
At this point, Niu Jindao, who also had the job class of armored martial art soldier came over quickly and handed over the other two spoils to Shadell.
“Lady Shadell, here are the building blueprints that burst out after killing the tank earth dragon BOSS and wind mantis BOSS. There’s even a blueprint for a barrack among them. Please return swiftly to our home base and hand this over to our main attacker.”
“Barrack blueprint?”
Shadell looked very serious as she studied the barrack blueprint from the wind mantis BOSS, and nodded slightly, “I will go right away.”
“I take my leave!”
Shadell possesses her onion-like delicate hand into her mouth, whistled sharply.
“Flap Flap~”
Suddenly, a colorful large bird, as tall as a person, flew out of the dense forest, and landed on Shadell.
Shadell climbed on the bird, patted the bird’s head, and the bird quickly took off, flying toward the rear.
Around her, similar large birds took off and landed from time to time.
Riding on those birds were the archers.
They were the five-star military unit, the eagle archers, trained from regular one to four-star soldiers, a very rare type of flying unit.
As she flew amidst the skies, Shadell’s thoughts became enigmatic again. Some part of her continued refusing to believe the reality unraveling ahead.
The day she saw the strength of the ordinary soldiers, she dared not belittle Zheng Cheng and his subordinates.
With an overwhelming strength, they exterminated the four-star alien beasts crimson centipede and triple-headed snake, residing within the dark mist. When they thought things were done, a large number of tank earth dragons and wind mantises emerged.
When she thought this homeland would be destroyed, their Lord took action!
He single-handedly charged towards the alien beasts, alone with his sword he slaughtered hundreds of five-star alien tank earth dragons!
Those under his command, fought with their lives on the battlefield, killing every alien beast that came flooding in!
Afterwards, with the resources and supplies from the alien beasts, their homeland experienced a substantial explosion in growth.
Numbers of soldiers and buildings multiplied exponentially.
The level of their home quickly reached LV5.
Meanwhile, the five-star military unit blueprint of the armored martial art soldier barracks was also swiftly constructed.
Most of the home’s one, two, three, and four-star ordinary soldiers were trained into five-star military unit, the armored martial art soldiers, and had realized numerous abilities.
Especially when they obtained the blueprint for the eagle archer barracks, another batch of regular soldiers at the home base were trained, transforming into eagle archers.
Remote air combat units!
With the armored soldiers sweeping the ground and the eagle archers’ assistance in the air, the sudden appearance of the five-star alien beast tank earth dragons and wind mantises was no halt to speak of, they were quickly annihilated!
Now their homeland has taken up all the valleys, and expanded a great deal around the surrounding area.
All of this rendered Shadell in a state of absolute conviction and awe.
Her loyalty to Zheng Cheng escalated drastically in just two days, pledging her fealty unto death.
At that time, she had discovered the greatest secret about her home, or rather, about Zheng Cheng.
“Lord Zheng Cheng’s strength is truly terrifying, he can actually plunder the power of Alien Beasts and bestow it upon his troops!”
“Those foods imbued with the power of Alien Beasts, once eaten, can permanently enhance one’s strength….”
“Such power is indeed fearsome!”
Sadiel’s eyes were filled with admiration and faith: “Only such a man is worthy of me… No, no! Only he can conquer me!”
“As long as our Lord is here, our Golden Scorpion Clan shall certainly drive those Alien Beasts out of the Canglan Desert!”
The Giant Eagle flies at an extremely high speed, swiftly nearing the homeland.
From her perspective, you could see giant arrow towers towering over thirty meters high densely surrounding the homeland.
On each arrow tower, there were ten Crossbow Torrets, managed and maintained by thirty soldiers.
The LV5 Arrow Tower!
Under these Arrow Towers, there are slightly raised bunkers.
These are LV5 Bunkers, now more appropriately named as fortresses.
Fortress by fortress, they protect the homeland within them, even forming a large underground city inside.
There are more than three hundred soldiers, living in the bunkers, guarding the homeland.
Further ahead is the City Wall!
Made of a mix of giant stones and steel, the overall height is over twenty meters, shaped solidly.
The width on top is about fifteen meters, enough for a large army to pass through.
Every ten meters or so, there are shooting ports and sturdy wall structures.
Every hundred meters or so, watchtowers, taller buildings like arrow towers, and gate towers are constructed for soldiers to rest and defend.
The entire homeland, sealed off by arrow towers, fortresses, and city walls, is impenetrable!
Flying over the city wall, Sadiel quickly descends.
Milord has ordered, that no flying units may fly in the main city area.
“Madam Sadiel!”
“Madam Sadiel!”
“Madam!”
Sadiel walks briskly towards the direction of the homeland crystal, with the same type of soldiers coming and going within the city.
Armored Martial Art Soldiers, Giant Eagle Archers.
No, there are also a large number of laborers.
Their task is to cut down trees!
As long as a certain amount of wood is cut down, they can be bestowed with the power of Alien Beasts by Zheng Cheng, thereby gaining the opportunity to train as Armored Martial Art Soldiers or Giant Eagle Archers.
Besides these soldiers, the sides of the street are also built with a large number of blacksmith shops, tailor shops, drug stores and other living buildings.
These living buildings are also constructed using the blueprint erupted from the Alien Beasts killed by Zheng Cheng and his troops.
Every living building is accompanied by one to five corresponding living troops.
As far as Sadiel knows, the total population of the homeland has now reached a thousand people!
A large part of them are Armored Martial Art Soldiers and Giant Eagle Archers!
All citizens are five-star professionists!
If it wasn’t for the limitations on population level by the home crystal, with the current resources and supplies, Zheng Cheng could at least recruit more than five thousand people!
Also, Sadiel knew something terrifying.
The troops under Lord Cheng’s command, as long as they are willing, or rather, as long as they acquire the construction blueprints for six-star or seven-star barracks, they can
change their profession to the corresponding troops in a very short period of time!
The basic attribute that limits ordinary soldiers to high-star soldiers is not a problem!
Even for her…
Her pure spiritual attributes have already exceeded a hundred points!
If these things were spread to the Canglan Desert, spread to the barren planet, countless heroes would go crazy!
“Milord!”
Sadiel quickly arrived in front of a tall building, this was the Main City that came with the home crystal’s upgrade to LV5.
Zheng Cheng was in the Main City at this moment.
He was sitting cross-legged, with a constantly squirming Mucus Worm in front of him, gnawing on a crystal that was as clear as a diamond.
A wonder of the world.
Sadiel stumbled in, but Zheng Cheng did not get angry.
“Sadiel, we’ve talked about this before, don’t be so impulsive, you still forgot…”
Sadiel’s cheeks turned red, she hesitated to say: “Yes, Milord, I’ll remember next time.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, looked up at Sadiel, and asked: “Well, weren’t you supposed to lead a team to take down the last Alien Beast nest? You finished so quickly?”
“Yes!” Sadiel nodded vigorously: “Milord, we won, the last five-star Alien Beast nest has been destroyed by us.”
“This is the Rift of Time from the nest; also, there are two pieces of loot that exploded from the bodies of the Land Dragon Tank and the Gusty Mantis BOSS.”
“One of them is the six-star troop construction blueprint that you, Milord, have been longing for!”
“Oh?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes brightened, he said interestingly: “The homeland is about to upgrade to LV6, I didn’t expect to get the six-star barrack construction blueprint so soon.”
“What type of troops are they?”
“Griffon Knights!” The tone of Sadiel suddenly became very strange: “And there’s another construction blueprint, it seems to be related to me.”
“To do with you?” Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed: “A hero?”
