124: New soldier class unlocked

“Report Lord Rank, Talent Rank…”

Mo Yan’s Lord Rank was currently Lv6, which wasn’t anything to hide. It was estimated that many people would reach this level.

However, his Talent Rank… SSS-Rank Resource Collector, and the 100% manifestation fee reduction, these were his core secrets, absolutely impossible to report.

Also, the true strength of Bai Lingyue and Gun Gun, as well as those Mythical and Epic buildings and blueprints, were even less likely to be revealed in the slightest.

“I need to carefully consider what to report, what not to report, and how much to report.”

It was estimated that many Lords would have similar thoughts.

“Of course, official intervention isn’t necessarily a bad thing,” Mo Yan thought from a different perspective.

The apocalypse had arrived, and the collapse of order was inevitable.

If there wasn't a strong organization to maintain order, Blue Star would probably be even more chaotic than the beginner trials in Lord World.

By then, burning, killing, looting, and all sorts of monsters would emerge.

The unified dispatch of the officials could, at least to some extent, curb the spread of this chaos.

“Moreover, this announcement is only for Dragon Country Lords. Other countries… Heh heh, there’s a good show to watch.”

While Dragon Country could react quickly, other countries were probably still bickering over internal strife and power distribution among Lords.

In this regard, Dragon Country’s systemic advantage was evident.

As for the reporting matter, he didn’t plan to do it immediately.

He would first observe the reactions of others and then see the actual enforcement efforts of the officials.

Mo Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly: “My trump cards naturally cannot be handed over so easily. Caution is the only way to survive longer in this apocalypse.”

“Unified dispatch… If it’s just regular cooperation, it’s fine. But if they want to use me as a spear, or covet my core interests, then they’ll have to see if they have the ability.”

A cold glint flashed in Mo Yan’s eyes.

He was not a savior, nor was he a saint.

In the apocalypse, his first priority was to ensure the survival and development of himself and his territory.

Under this premise, if he could, he wouldn’t mind contributing to his country.

But if someone wanted to treat him like a fool, he would let the other party know why the flowers were so red.

......

Morning.

“The territory upgrade was completed last night. Uncle Qin has already arranged for all core buildings to be upgraded.”

Mo Yan checked immediately after waking up.

Lines of completion prompts appeared before his eyes.

【Prompt: food stockpiled quantity has reached 150,000 units, activating Stockpile Bonus (food) Lv2!】

【Stockpile Bonus (food) Lv2: All food consumption within the territory is reduced by 8%, and territory food collection efficiency is increased by 8%】

Mo Yan glanced at the resource panel.

As expected, overnight, the food reserves successfully exceeded 150,000 units. As the population surged, food consumption naturally followed suit, and this bonus came just in time.

He turned his gaze to the building list.

【Barracks】

“The Barracks has been upgraded to Rank Six, and there’s a new troop type, Shield Soldier!” Mo Yan’s eyes lit up.

Shield Soldier, as the name suggests, were definitely front-line tank units that absorbed damage.

An army without a front line would have its back-line Archers and damage dealers as living targets on the battlefield.

“And there’s an additional Cultivation Technique slot!”

He immediately thought of the Epic quality skill book he obtained from the previous ten-pull, the spear technique Overlord Spear that Breaks Formations!

Mo Yan took out the golden skill book from his talent space.

With a thought, he selected the Barracks's second Cultivation Technique slot.

【Prompt: Do you want to place the Epic quality, Overlord Spear that Breaks Formations, in the Barracks's second Cultivation Technique slot? Once placed, all Spearmen in the Barracks will automatically comprehend and cultivate this spear technique.】

“Confirm!”

Buzz—

A golden light flashed from the Barracks building and merged into it.

【Prompt: Barracks successfully equipped skill Overlord Spear that Breaks Formations, Spearmen troop type in the Barracks gains this skill effect!】

【Prompt: Overlord’s Might (Passive) effect takes effect, all Spearmen troop types in the Barracks gain an additional 7% attack increase!】

An additional seven percent increase in attack!

For his numerous Spearmen, their overall combat power would increase by a large margin!

From now on, his Spearmen would be even more unstoppable when charging into battle.

“After the territory upgraded to Lv6, the population cap also soared from nine hundred to eighteen hundred. It’s time to expand the army on a large scale.”

“These newly added nine hundred slots need to be allocated reasonably…”

“The replenishment of Soldiers and the recruitment of new troop types are definite, but the development of the territory also requires more residents and professional talents.”

He pondered for a moment.

“First, reserve two hundred slots for recruiting residents and professional talents.”

“The remaining seven hundred slots will all be used to expand the army!”

Mo Yan glanced at the current military strength.

Spearmen: 500.

Archers: 351.

Total 851 Soldiers.

“First are the newly unlocked Shield Soldier. They are the core of defense, and their numbers must be prioritized.”

“A sturdy shield formation is the basis of all tactics. Let’s recruit four hundred Shield Soldier first to form an iron defense line!”

Four hundred Shield Soldier would be enough to withstand most impacts on the front battlefield.

“Next are the Spearmen. They are equipped with Overlord Spear that Breaks Formations, their combat power has soared, and they are the main melee damage output units. Their numbers also need to keep up.”

“Recruit another two hundred Spearmen, increasing the total number of Spearmen to seven hundred.”

Seven hundred well-equipped Spearmen who cultivated an Epic spear technique, just thinking about the scene of them charging into battle made one’s blood boil.

“Finally, Archers. As ranged fire support, their numbers cannot fall behind either.”

“The remaining one hundred slots will all be given to Archers, expanding the Archer unit to four hundred and fifty-one.”

This way, ranged firepower would also be guaranteed.

The total military strength would reach one thousand five hundred and fifty-one.

Such an army configuration, combining ranged and melee, offense and defense, had its combat power increased by more than just one level compared to before.

“With such an army, whether it’s to deal with the upcoming apocalypse crisis or explore more dangerous areas, I have ample confidence.”

【Prompt: Recruiting 400 Shield Soldier, Stockpile Bonus automatically takes effect, consuming 11040 gold coins, 11040 food.】

【Prompt: Recruitment time 13:20:59 (2 minutes / person).】

【Prompt: Recruiting 200 Spearmen, Stockpile Bonus automatically takes effect, will consume 1840 gold coins, 1840 food.】
