15: Chapter 15 The strong are not afraid of being targeted.

The topic of discussion in the Lords Hall shifted to Su Yang.

Su Yang did not respond to any of it.

Unless it was necessary, he would not make any comments.

[Anonymous: His spawn point must be quite safe, right? Even cold-weapon soldiers dare to break the novice protection.]

[Anonymous: Definitely. Do you really think a group of people with knives can go chop up Stone Men and the bug race?]

[Anonymous: That kid is lucky, I suppose. Just don't know how long that luck will last.]

...

Watching the guesses and disdain from the lords in the hall, Su Yang was quite satisfied.

The more these people looked down on him, the more development opportunities and time it gave him.

If he were too dazzling right from the start and faced targeting from everyone, things would be very difficult.

[US Lord: Breaking novice protection is dangerous, but it also allows for obtaining more resources and faster development speed.]

[Since Dragon Country has not perished, relying on the command points rewards, their development at this moment is likely ahead of everyone else.]

[Lord of Japan: Su Yang is a smart man, everyone should not underestimate him.]

As soon as the US Lord and Lord of Japan spoke, the situation of unanimous ridicule in the hall was reversed.

The lords set aside Dragon Country's previous battle achievements and began to analyze seriously.

Su Yang's eyes flickered as he coldly watched the posts from the US Lord and Lord of Japan.

They were not kindly praising him or helping Dragon Country with publicity.

Rather, they were afraid that Dragon Country would threaten their ruling positions.

Su Yang obtaining the first-kill achievement undoubtedly made him the leader among all current lords.

In order to nip this in the bud, the US Lord and Lord of Japan reversed the direction of the hall with two sentences.

They made the lords who originally looked down on Dragon Country take Dragon Country seriously again.

In the future, if Su Yang had any outstanding performance, it would be easy for him to be treated as a threat by the lords.

'These two old bastards.'

Su Yang muttered in his heart and closed the Lords Hall.

When it came to playing tricks in the Lords Hall, he was definitely no match for these old foxes.

However, development was the absolute principle.

Dignity only exists on the edge of the sword, and truth only exists within the range of cannons.

As long as he developed at a speed that transcended the era and possessed combat power that transcended the era.

Then what if all these lords united together?

The Six States had united many times to resist Great Qin, but they still could not withstand the iron hooves of Great Qin.

The truly strong fear no targeting.

*Hiss—*

Under Su Yang's control, the steam-powered doors of the barracks slowly opened.

20 Armored Elite Soldiers who had finished refueling stepped out of the barracks.

He also used the remaining 300 command points on summoning soldiers.

Now, there were a total of 20 Armored Elite Soldiers in the territory!

Among them, Su Yang's personal bodyguards, Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu and Armored Elite Warrior Zhao Zhang, were even upgraded Level 2 Armored Elite Soldiers.

Su Yang decided to send three Armored Elite Soldiers to guard the home, and the remaining Armored Elite Soldiers would go out in groups of three to search.

The resources to be searched for today were food and copper ore.

Food was an essential resource for development; before unlocking farming facilities, hunting was the only way.

And copper ore was an essential resource for the lords residence to upgrade to Level 2.

Almost all Level 2 building upgrades required copper ore.

The ideal situation was to find copper ore resources before the lords residence finished upgrading tomorrow.

"Set off!"

Without any extra nonsense, Su Yang led Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu and Armored Elite Warrior Zhao Zhang out of the territory.

In order to deal with all future threats, he must keep moving forward!

...

Somewhere in the Insect Hive Forest.

"This damn forest, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Lord of Spain Leader Tang Ji directed many soldiers to work in the forest.

After receiving advice from the Lord of England, he regained the courage to fight against the bug race.

His initial soldiers were Spanish line infantry worth 25 command points.

You have to know that the strongest World War II US and Bear Country soldiers were only 40 command points.

His line infantry could already be ranked among the strongest early-game troop types.

However, although the troop strength was sufficient, the defensive facilities gave him a huge headache.

According to the advice, he needed to build city walls and cut down the surrounding forest.

Building city walls required digging for stone ore.

In the early stage, without automatic mining machines, it was necessary to mine by manpower.

20 soldiers mining produced about 30 units of stone ore per day, and it would take about five days to finish building the city walls.

On the other side, 20 soldiers were responsible for cutting down the forest to expand the firing range.

This task was much more difficult.

The vegetation in the Insect Hive Forest was not ordinary at all.

Their branches were thick and fleshy, and they contained some kind of viscous liquid inside.

When a broadsword slashed in, a large part of the impact force would be offset by the liquid.

This resulted in extremely slow progress in logging.

So much so that he originally sent five people to cut trees, but later he had to increase it to twenty.

However, the current speed was still unsatisfactory.

*Squish—*

Leader Tang Ji angrily slashed at a mushroom-shaped plant.

The blade got stuck, and viscous liquid splashed out.

It sprayed onto his big face.

"Oh God! This damn forest!"

"Why can others leave their territory to get the first kill on the first day, while I have to chop this damn mushroom!"

"God, please grant me a spawn point as simple as Dragon Country's!!"

...

*Hiss—*

A bronze sword swept across, and the mushroom-shaped plant was severed in one stroke.

The fluorescent shell immediately lost its color, and the internal mucus gushed out.

Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu cleared the way in front, and Armored Elite Warrior Zhao Zhang protected the rear.

Su Yang followed the two of them forward all the way.

The plants in the forest contained glue-like liquid inside, making them difficult to cut.

Every sword strike by Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu required steam power assistance to cut through directly.

Previously, when encountering such extremely dense areas, Su Yang would choose to take a detour to save energy.

But now that he had unlocked carbon mines and possessed backup energy, he could appropriately spend energy to save time.

After a few hours of searching, some squads had already replenished prey, and one squad had even encountered three Stinger Bugs.

Because the energy was already close to half, Su Yang directed the other squads to return home for resupply.

He himself continued to go deeper with Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu and Armored Elite Warrior Zhao Zhang.

After they were upgraded, the Imperial Armor mobility and steam conversion efficiency had both improved.

This made their endurance and movement capabilities a notch higher than other Level 1 Armored Elite Soldiers.

In the same amount of time, Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu and Armored Elite Warrior Zhao Zhang had taken Su Yang the farthest distance.

And the energy consumed was far lower than other squads.

This made Su Yang feel that although upgrading required spending 300 command points, it was very worth it.

Endurance was also a part of combat capability; future combat time would definitely get longer and longer.

It was impossible for soldiers to run back to refuel in the middle of a fight.

So upgrading was necessary; when he had enough command points, he would slowly upgrade his troops.

"Your Majesty."

While thinking, Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu suddenly stopped in front.

He pushed aside the vegetation in front of him and turned sideways to give Su Yang a view.

He saw in front of him a road 2 meters wide that had been trampled out by some kind of creature!
