106: Wilderness dwarves, Indians are getting cocky
creep tumor
Introduction: A subterranean creep-secreting gland that produces creep covered with microfilaments.
Coverage: 1000-meter diameter
Effect Bonus: StarCraft Zerg move faster on the creep, and the creep continuously heals the Zerg Swarm.
Trait: A creep tumor can split again, producing an additional creep tumor.
Note: Can only split once. After 24 hours, the new creep tumor can split again.
The creep tumor began secreting creep.
The previously uncovered ground was visibly turning a faint purple.
Currently, the total number of creep tumors is 38.
The number added on the second day was 28.
The area covered by the creep was continuously expanding.
However, newly split creep tumors too far from the territory would be destroyed by beasts roaming the wilderness.
The nearby creep would also wither within an hour.
Only by killing all the beasts within the sphere of influence could the creep extend further.
"Upgrade the hatchery!" Su Bai gave the command.
wood - 5000
Stone - 5000
primary energy gem - 2000
The hatchery was enveloped in a layer of purple light.
Its purplish-gray shell shimmered with a faint glow, and the surrounding tentacles began to surge violently.
Two minutes later...
Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, your hatchery upgrade was successful.
hatchery level reached Lv7.
The number of Larva hatched every 24 hours increased by 20.
Currently, a total of 100 Larva can be hatched every 24 hours.
Immediately after, plump Larva hatched from the hatchery one by one.
"These 100 Larva will be saved for now and mutated into combat units later!" Su Bai decided.
After the upgrades, only 260 primary energy gems remained in the territory, not enough to support further upgrades.
Su Bai walked to the entrance of the manor and activated the daily free recruitment.
A fleshy Drone appeared from it.
"Drones and Young Drones, go out and gather resources!"
With that, Su Bai also ordered Kerrigan to take 500 Zerglings and 500 Hydralisks, leave the territory, and clear out surrounding beasts and monsters... On the other side.
In the wilderness.
A Lord of the A Country named Hendrika surveyed the troops in his territory, a satisfied expression in his eyes.
"I descended to the Land of Redemption last year, and in just one year, I raised my territory level to 10!"
"Such exceptional talent is enough to greatly enhance my status and position; it's even highly possible for me to become an upper caste."
"Moreover, I awakened a fine-quality lords imprint, and my associated race is the very powerful Wasteland Dwarves."
"In just one year, I have accumulated over 2000 soldiers, enough to lord over this area."
Hendrika's capital for pride was naturally his Dwarf troops.
Dwarf Musketeers: 1000
Dwarf Berserkers: 800
Dwarf Bear Riders: 200
"Dwarf warriors, follow me to clear out the beasts! Leave 200 Musketeers to guard the territory; all other Dwarves depart immediately!"
Hendrika waved his hand, leading his troops out of the territory.
The reason he left only a small number of troops to guard was that a circle of stone city walls stood around his territory.
Five meters high, very sturdy.
In addition, twenty defensive towers were erected on each wall.
"With such tight defenses, even if a Lord with a level 20 territory attacked me, I would not fear at all!"
Hendrika strode forward, a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Just then, a group of King Kong Mammoths rushed towards them.
They were huge and their outer skin was as hard as iron.
"Mere excellent quality, level 8 beasts, simply seeking death!"
"Ranged strike, eliminate them!"
As his voice fell...
The Dwarf Musketeers quickly lined up in five rows.
They raised their long-barreled muskets and attacked in turns, by row.
Load, aim, fire.
"Bang bang bang!"
The smoke of gunpowder filled the field.
All eighty-plus King Kong Mammoths, without exception, died on their charge.
Hendrika was triumphant, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"The combat power of the Dwarves is simply too formidable!"
"This year, a Newly Promoted Lord from the Dragon Country emerged, actually gaining over 30,000 points and topping the leaderboard."
"I hope to encounter him someday, kill him in one fell swoop, and seize all his resources. Just thinking about it is wonderful."
"If he were a Lord from the same period as me, I definitely couldn't beat him."
"But I descended to the Land of Redemption last year, giving me a year's head start in development. Wouldn't it be easy to crush him?"
"I heard this Dragon Country Lord's race is Zerg. He probably just got lucky to top the leaderboard."
"What was his name again? Why can't I remember it no matter how hard I try?"
"Never mind, I'll ask someone later."
...Two hours later.
Lines of system prompt messages appeared before Su Bai.
Combat Alert: The Queen of Blades led the Zerg Swarm to encounter an Iron-Armored Lion Pride, achieving a great victory with no casualties!

"That batch of Zerglings and Hydralisks Kerrigan took out can feast again!" Su Bai said with a smile.
It must be said that if one's troops are powerful in combat, a Lord can completely lie flat.
For example, now, the Queen of Blades leading the Zerg Swarm to clear out beasts didn't require Su Bai's concern at all.
After leaning against the Queen's deep purple carapace and basking in the sun for five minutes, Su Bai stood up and murmured to himself:
"A chef who doesn't want to be a tailor is definitely not a good driver! Can't lie flat, must maintain passion and ambition!"
Immediately, he ordered 1000 Zerglings to go out and patrol around the territory.
The main purpose was to investigate whether there were any native strongholds nearby.
Half an hour later...
The Zerglings active in the northeast transmitted intelligence back to Su Bai via mental link.
They discovered two factions engaged in battle.
Due to the simple genetic sequence of Zerglings, their DNA encoding is entirely composed of various combat instincts, so the only information they could transmit back was this.
"Interesting!"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
"Let's see if I can be the one who reaps the benefits."
Su Bai didn't hesitate, leading 200 Zerglings and 500 Hydralisks towards the northeast.
The remaining troops were entrusted to Abathur, who was to stay and guard the home.
