Chapter 49 - A Lively Storm!
Chapter 49: A Lively Storm!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The castles of billions of Castle Lords were attacked by the monsters in the wild the moment the protective barrier disappeared.
The battle was fierce.
Who knew how many Castle Lords had died.
The Castle Lords who survived must have obtained a great harvest.
The food collected from the monsters in the wild could not be finished in a short time, so they were sold one after another.
Unfortunately, there was no Castle Lord who lacked food at the moment.
At least, there was no shortage of food in the short term.
Therefore, no one was interested in the food that they put on the shelves..
However, some of the monster materials were showing signs of being traded.
This caught Mike’s attention.
[Someone must have dropped the blueprints of the smithy during the castle defense battle!]
[They are purchasing monster materials at the low-level and are preparing to forge equipment!]
This was not good news, because it meant that someone wanted to compete with him and the little loli for business.
[My castle’s forces are developing.]
[The forces of the other Castle Lords are also developing.]
[Basic buildings like the smithy will be popularized sooner or later. This can not be stopped.]
Mike Thought for a moment and did not pay too much attention to it.
This crab was very big. He could not finish it all by himself.
For a long time, those Castle Lords who owned smithies would not be able to affect his profits in the field of standard equipment.
Moreover.
This was not all bad.
The battle between Castle Lords was secondary after all.
Their biggest enemy had always been the local forces in the other world.
The development of the castle forces could also reduce the pressure on him when he faced the local forces in the future.
As for the battle between the Castle Lords, Mike was not worried. He had always been ahead of all the Castle Lords.
He was also confident that he would continue to lead.
Mike looked at the bustling trading area and could not help but step in.
A total of 23,000 units of food were directly put on the shelves.
Among them were 4,000 units of elite-level food and 400 units of commander-level food. These special foods that could increase energy value were all sold at high prices.
Ordinary food was not in demand. However, special food was still in demand in the market.
In addition, the monster materials he collected were all packaged and distributed to the little loli in the underground world to be used to make standard equipment.
Of course, he also transferred 2,000 units of food.
Previously, the little loli had given him all her share of the refined iron.
Even though she said that she had given it to him for free. he still could not take it for free. According to the previous agreement, he packed 2,000 units of food and sent it over.
Although the little loli’s gray dwarves did not have high combat strength, they were professional in the field of crafting equipment.
Mike took a look at his castle’s warehouse.
Previously, he had used up a part of his resources to build houses, noble courtyards, and fences.
Now, there were only 98,630 units of wood, 69,500 units of stones, and 1,720 units of refined iron left.
As for energy stones and strange crystals, they were all kept in the warehouse.
However, the quantity of refined iron seemed to have decreased substantially overnight.
It seemed that the quantity of refined iron was still too little. After all, it needed to be smelted, and the difficulty of obtaining it was much more difficult than obtaining wood and stones.
“It seems that refined iron is what I lack the most.”
Mike sighed softly.
He shook his head. “Let’s take it one step at a time!”
…
After that, Mike opened the [world chat channel].
There were still a large number of Castle Lords chatting inside.
[What a loss! I lost a total of 40 troops before those berserk monsters were completely wiped out!]
[What’s 40 troops? I only have three great swordsmen left. The troops under me were almost all wiped out!]
[It’s already good enough to be alive!]
[If the troops are dead, they can be summoned again. As long as people are alive, it’s good news!]
[A good friend I made two days ago was very lucky. He had a high-level soldier, the volga harpy. He was very powerful! But today, I saw that he disappeared!]
[Even his high-level soldiers couldn’t stop the invasion? He must be really unlucky!]
[Too many Castle Lords died in the battle. According to my estimation, at least a million people were eliminated.]
[This is only the beginning!]
[There is no doubt that more and more Castle Lords will die in the future because this is a cruel world!]
[If we want to stand in this world, we can only risk our lives!]
[Brothers and sisters, don’t be discouraged. The early stages are always difficult. We must remember those who have passed away. We will not forget them! Those who are alive must continue to advance! We are the Castle Lords, the chosen ones! As long as we are given time, we can grow up! What wild monsters? Our opponents are the local forces in the foreign world!]
[You really talk a lot, but you are right!]
[Actually, there is nothing wrong with that. Our goal is to fight for hegemony over all the races. We will let the castle forces rule over this vast foreign world! I believe that one day, this world will belong to us! All living Castle Lords, everyone is a God!]
[I hope that this era will come soon!]
[Bosses, I think it’s better to focus on the matter in front of us. The Beast Tide can come at any time!]
[??]
[…]
The world chat channel was in a bleak state.
The atmosphere was heated, and people were calling each other gods…
In the blink of an eye, their hearts turned cold!
The Castle Lords seemed to have just reacted. The battle between the castle guards seemed to be just an appetizer after the protective barrier disappeared. The main dish, the Beast Tide, had not even been served yet.
[Damn whoever brought up the Beast Tide, drag them out and kill them!]
[My state of mind instantly exploded!!]
[Can’t you let me immerse myself in the joy of victory? Even if I have to enjoy it for another minute, it’s fine. Why did you have to remind me that there’s still a Beast Tide!]
[I’ve already blocked that guy!]
[Transferring negative energy, blocked!]
[Block + 1!]
…
The world chat channel was in chaos.
Many people were reprimanding and venting their negative emotions.
If the appetizer was so cruel, how cruel would the Beast Tide be?
The Castle Lords did not want to imagine it.
Because as long as they thought about it, their minds would explode and their scalps would go numb.
Mike did not think about it. He was not afraid of the Beast Tide. With the current strength of the Dragon King Castle, it was not difficult to tide over the Beast Tide.
He closed the world chat channel.
Mike came to the courtyard of the castle.
At this time, Tyrell and the other dragons were also in the courtyard.
When they saw Mike, they all bowed respectfully.
Mike smiled and nodded at them, then looked around.
The earth dragon team was also patrolling outside the castle, in case of a sudden attack by monsters in the wild.
The dense forest outside the castle was also very quiet.
Mike tried to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
