50: Head-on collision, Flame Goblin

At this moment, night had fallen.

Dark, thick clouds pressed down on the sky, completely obscuring the moonlight.

The endless wilderness was enveloped in profound darkness.

Su Bai stood at the entrance of the small stone house in the center; the territory stone embedded in the eaves emitted a faint glow, illuminating his resolute face.

Outside the territory was an infinite darkness, mixed with the mournful roars of fierce beasts, appearing mysterious and deep.

But in Su Bai's eyes, there was no fear at all; instead, a flickering light danced within them.

Nearly two hundred Zerglings surrounded the small stone house, resting on the ground.

Hydralisks and the Queen, a size larger, huddled together, their bodies lowered, seemingly already in a state of slumber.

Kerrigan crouched to the side, playing with a Zergling.

In this scene, Su Bai felt only a deep sense of security.

He gazed into the distance, a pair of bright eyes like night stars hidden beneath his sword-like brows.

"The novice period ends, and after surviving the beast tide, with warlords vying for supremacy and myriad races battling, the real challenge has only just begun!"

"Only then can one truly experience the strategic maneuvering and grand scale of the Land of Redemption."

Yes!

Su Bai had already started to feel a surge of confidence!

Of course, he had every right to be confident.

With the Queen of Blades, the powerful StarCraft Zerg, and the blessing of Supreme Mythic,

the wild monsters around his territory—Wasteland Wolves, Black Bears, Mammoths, King Kong Tigers, and so on—were simply too weak.

He began to look forward to exploring the Land of Redemption more deeply in the future.

As soon as he passed the novice period and became an official Lord, he would be able to stir up trouble and write magnificent chapters in the Land of Redemption!

The sky is high for birds to fly, the sea is wide for fish to leap.

Such a life would be truly colorful... The night passed without incident.

The next day.

The sun rose in the east, and dawn broke.

As soon Bai opened his eyes, the Land of Redemption's system announcement appeared before him.

【Announcement: Esteemed Newly Promoted Lords, today is the fifth day since your arrival in the Land of Redemption, and there are two days left until the end of the novice period!】

【Announcement: When the novice period ends, disaster will strike! A massive beast tide will assault the territories of all Newly Promoted Lords!】

【Announcement: All Newly Promoted Lords, please strengthen your territory's power as quickly as possible to resist the impending beast tide!】

【Announcement: If a territory is destroyed, signifying failure to resist the beast tide, the Lord will die immediately!】

"A new day, keep up the fight!"

Su Bai hummed a tune, put on his clothes, and walked out of the small stone house.

The words in the announcement, "Disaster strikes! A massive beast tide!"

looked intimidating, but in reality, they could only scare those Newly Promoted Lords who lacked strength.

For Su Bai, it was naturally stress-free and very easy.

In fact, he even wished for the beast tide to be more intense.

This way, he could quickly acquire resources.

Zerglings and Hydralisks would also gain a large amount of experience, rapidly increasing their levels.

"Kerrigan, good morning!"

Kerrigan had already woken up early and was honing her combat skills and psionic powers.

Hearing Su Bai's voice, she stopped her movements, "Lord, do you need your Queen to provide a wake-up service?"

"No! No!"

Su Bai didn't hesitate, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

I'm still young!

Having just graduated from high school, I'm still in a growth phase.

The quality of sleep every day must be guaranteed.

At this moment, the system's mechanical synthesized voice sounded in his ear.

【Prompt: Hatchery's free recruitment attempts have refreshed】

【Current free attempts: 1】

【Prompt: You can consume three Hatchery recruitment opportunities for a special recruitment, which is guaranteed to yield a StarCraft Zerg flying creature】

"Consume this recruitment opportunity for a special recruitment!"

Su Bai said quickly, without thinking.

【Prompt: One regular recruitment opportunity has been consumed!】

【Prompt: Two more are needed to activate special recruitment!】

He still needed two more days to use the special recruitment.

This meant that on the seventh day, flying creatures could be recruited from the Hatchery.

"I'm really looking forward to it, I wonder what kind of unit I'll get?"

Su Bai suppressed the restlessness in his heart and came to the entrance of the manor.

"Upgrade!"

The system's mechanical synthesized voice sounded again.

【Prompt: primary energy gem insufficient, upgrade failed!】

"I'm actually stuck on resources!"

He glanced at the resource page.

【Soul: 280】

【wood: 9000】

【Stone: 2100】

【Iron Ore: 1500】

【primary energy gem: 10】

【biomass: 3080】

"Only ten primary energy gems are left; I must kill some high-level monsters to get more."

Next, Su Bai initiated recruitment.

He obtained a Drone.

He gave orders for 3 Drones and 2 Young Drones to go out and search for and collect resources.

They were to focus on finding Iron Ore and Stone; wood could be ignored for now.

"Kerrigan, Zerglings, Hydralisks, follow me out to clear out wild monsters!"

Su Bai, full of vigor, led his troops out of the territory.

They were searching for high-level monsters and snake-like beasts.

At the same time.

Inside the Goblin military encampment.

"Report!"

"It has been scouted; the Human Lord's territory is directly to the west."

"Currently, he is leading his soldiers out, heading towards the southeast."

The Goblin Centurion suddenly stood up, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

He donned his armor and took a dark-red long saber from the weapon rack.

"Those not of our kind are sure to have different intentions!"

"Striking first is the only way to seize the initiative!"

"Pass on my order; all Goblins in the encampment, gather quickly!"

Soon, the entire military encampment became a flurry of activity.

Nearly one hundred and fifty Goblins, led by the Goblin Centurion, marched rapidly in Su Bai's direction.

Besides the green-skinned Goblins wielding spears, there were also dozens of very special individuals in this force.

They were a bit taller, nearly 1.7 meters.

Their fiery red skin and hair made them seem out of place among the surrounding Goblins... On the other side.

"Why is it a bit strange today? I haven't encountered a single wild beast?"

Su Bai looked puzzled and couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Perhaps some powerful Indigenous Forces have scared away all the surrounding wild beasts."

Kerrigan looked around and replied.

Just then.

A Goblin army appeared ahead on the road, heading straight towards them.

"Kerrigan, you really were right!"

Then, Su Bai shouted, "Zerglings, Hydralisks, prepare for battle!"

The newcomers were hostile and aggressive.

It was impossible that they were coming for a friendly exchange.

"Red-skinned Goblins, a bit rare!"

Su Bai gazed intently, and lines of information popped up.
