"So powerful."
Cecil had followed Luo Xuan here. Along the way, she and her sisters had been treating Inia on the dragon's back to recover from her injuries.
Healing was not only for life, but also for parts of life that had been damaged, such as broken limbs.
Of course, it was not a problem for Inya to use the Dragon Scale. With the power of the Goddess Oracles, Inya had recovered in just ten minutes of flying, becoming a Black Dragon at its peak.
Unfortunately, even after killing 30 Level 11 and Level 12 creatures, Inya still did not level up.
It had to be said that it was very difficult for a Hero to level up in the World Realm, and it would become more and more difficult. The efficiency of leveling up by killing monsters was actually very low. The only place where heroes could gain a lot of experience was in the battlefield.
On the battlefield, there were tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Only by fighting such a battle could the heroes obtain enough experience to level up.
"A wild nest has been discovered. The valley of the tree spirit. Do you want to occupy it?”
"Occupy."
The System replied,[Due to the tree spirit you have occupied…] There is a gap between the valley and the heart of the territory. Please protect your territory.”
There was no such thing as a territory. Even if you occupied a building somewhere on the other side of the ocean, that building would still be yours. The surrounding areas that it could radiate would also become your territory.
However, if you do that, it will be very difficult for you to defend this territory.
However, Luo Xuan was not worried at all, because there was no one else on the Doomsday Islands, and the tree spirit was secluded... The passage between the valley and the Eastern River Valley would soon be opened by Inya. The difference was only a matter of time.
"Would you like to recruit a level 11 soldier, a tree spirit?”
Luo Xuan looked at the price of the tree spirit. It was 6000 gold coins per month. Luo Xuan instantly had the urge to hit someone."Damn it, do you have to be so expensive?”
6000 gold coins a month, but there was also a maintenance fee. Rank-9 and 10 troops were handed in once every five days, rank-11 and 12 troops were handed in once every three days, and rank-13 and 14 troops were handed in once a day. Each time, it was about one-tenth of the recruitment price.
In other words, Luo Xuan would have to give the tree spirit 600 gold coins every three days, so two trees would be 1200 gold coins.
"F * ck!"
Luo Xuan immediately cursed. He knew that ace troops were very expensive. It was really too much to be so expensive.
"Money, I want money!"
Luo Xuan felt really uncomfortable looking at the powerful soldiers, but he could not recruit them because he did not have gold coins.
Even though the twenty Dryads and ten Ancient Dryads combined could not defeat Ania, what kind of existence was Ania?
She was a level 14 hero, a Tier 4 Black Dragon, and had the talent of Black Dragon. Coupled with the Fire God Sword's absolute defense breaking ability, she was an extraordinary existence.
Even after a hundred years, there would be no more than 20 people as powerful as Inya in the entire world. Moreover, each of them was an overlord of a region. For example, the King of Purgatory that he had seen before, the Lord Angel of the Heavenly Plane, and the Sovereign Elf of the Forest Plane.
All of them stood at the peak of the world and were terrifying existences that could fight against a hundred alone.
Please note that the hundreds here were not 100 spearmen, but crown-ranked creatures like Black Dragons and Archangels. That's right. When Ionia grew up, she alone could defeat a hundred Black Dragons, and at least a hundred Black Dragons.
Therefore, this was already a Domain Boss-level existence. It could not be calculated with common sense.
In addition, the Dryads themselves did not have much intelligence, and they did not have a hero to lead them. They did not have any command or damage output. Calling them a motley crew was already letting them down.
Luo Xuan had encountered a real treeman army in his previous life. It was a treeman from the forest camp. Their profession was the treeman herder, and their talent was the withered twigs. Winding, which was the ability to strengthen vines and roots.
In that battle, Luo Xuan had seen with his own eyes that hundreds of ancient tree spirits had surrounded a city and rooted themselves there. Then, thousands of tree roots directly crossed dozens of miles of land and drilled out of the city's underground. Like a ship on the sea encountering a North Sea Demon, the tornado-like tree roots soared into the sky.
Just by losing some tree roots and wasting some of the ancient tree spirit's magic power, a glorious city had become ruins. All the soldiers guarding the city, except those who escaped and surrendered, were buried with the city.
Even now, Luo Xuan was still thinking about how the regular army of humans would fight against such an army of tree herders, and how much would they lose?
In the end, Luo Xuan had already come to the conclusion. It was just that he could not accept it in his previous life.
"Even if there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of low-level soldiers, they will only be swallowed by the roaring earth in the face of such a natural disaster.”
If they didn't have a powerful army that could rival the ancient tree spirits, then no matter how many came, they would just die. This was the war in the world of heroes. It was like an epic myth. When a sufficient number of high-level soldiers gathered, even gods had no choice but to avoid the power.
"Why don't we recruit one to try it out first?”
However, Luo Xuan's heart ached. He only had a few gold coins now. Even if he recruited them, he would still have to spend 600 gold coins in three days. He felt quite distressed.
No wonder in his previous life, those lords said that war was burning money. The maintenance fees of this army were really too terrifying.
You have a territory and countless nests, but you don't dare to recruit as you wish. Every time you recruit someone, it would be a huge burden on the territory's finances.
Luo Xuan now had a gold mine that produced 1000 gold coins a day, which was 3000 gold coins in three days. In addition, his territory's meeting hall could provide 500 gold coins a day, which was 1500 gold coins in three days. In this way, it seemed that he could afford to raise two tree spirits, let alone one.
However, there were still centaurs, dwarves, forest elves, pegasus knights, and many other troops. What should he do?
Luo Xuan was certain that the Valkyrie had to level up as soon as possible. A Pegasus Knight cost 500 gold coins per horse, and 50 gold coins per week was required for maintenance. After reincarnation, although it cost 3000 gold coins, the Valkyrie did not need any maintenance fees.
Perhaps some people would say that the maintenance fee of 3000 gold coins could last the Pegasus Knight for 60 weeks.
That was true, but the problem was that Luo Xuan needed to station troops, and the meaning of stationing troops was that one might need to keep a troop by their side for ten years or even decades. In that case, did they still think that 3000 gold coins were expensive?
You only paid a one-time payment of one year, but you got the Valkyrie for free forever. How worthwhile.
Of course, he couldn't calculate it this way. After all, he had to consider that this was the beginning of the game. Every gold coin in Luo Xuan's hands had great use. He couldn't use it just like that.
"But this is an ace soldier.”
Poor people were like this.
"Forget it, I'll recruit again in the future.”
There was no other way. He really couldn't afford to recruit. He had a total of 100 gold coins. What did he want Luo Xuan to do?
He wanted to but was powerless!
"I have to save money. I have to buy the two tree spirits in the first month as soon as possible.”
With the Dryad, Luo Xuan could form two teams. One team would be led by Fiora, with two Dryads, two Valkyries, three Pegasus Knights, and so many forest elves and dwarves. They would be able to capture all the nests below level 8 in one go.
As for Inya, she continued to fight alone, killing and pillaging.
"It's decided. We'll save money to buy the tree spirit first, then split up and fight. We'll unify the entire Valla Forest as soon as possible.”Luo Xuan's true gaze was not on this forest. This was only his starting point and base of operations. It was a backer that provided him with all kinds of resources and allowed him to expand in peace.
What Luo Xuan wanted was the abandoned shipyard on the eastern coast. He wanted to go out to sea and conquer the resources and minerals around the Doomsday Islands one by one.
With money in his hands, Luo Xuan would have more choices. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to move.
