Chapter 52: The Valley
I need support for recommendation tickets and favorites.
------------------------------------
Resurrecting the subordinates who died in the water monster cave in the mud village was Yuan Mu's promise to them. The resurrection fee is expensive, several times more expensive than recruiting them.
Yuan Mu now has some net worth, and the silt village has a little accumulation, but the city that is about to be established needs a lot of gold resources.
The resurrected subordinates have troops on land, as well as some water tribes. Yuan Mu looked at them and found that in addition to their level dropping by 1 level, their growth had also dropped by at least one level. Originally, Yuan Mu singled out those who grew tall and had good talents, but now these subordinates are a little mediocre after they are resurrected.
And Yuan Mu felt that they seemed to have lost some things, and they couldn't explain it clearly.
The next step is to think about building a city.
Where to build a city is a matter that needs to be well studied. Yuan Mu originally planned to build a city near the Wind Fury Canyon, but the demon birds would occasionally fly out of the canyon and cause harm to the vicinity.
And there is no lake nearby, and the mermaid city of Flo cannot be built next to it.
Amelia proposes a location that she accidentally discovered while on a mission, on the other side of the Crystal River.
Although it was far away from the Windfury Canyon, Yuan Mu believed in Amelia and was ready to take a look.
The Swamp Boat sails against the surface of the Crystal River, and it really looks like a boat, much faster than ordinary boats.
Yuan Mu asked the Corrupt to carry himself and his guards. To the south of the swamp there is a waterway that leads to the Crystal River, and it can even be said that the swamp borders the Crystal River.
Flora sees the water again, cheering incessantly, clamoring for a good place to put her mermaid city heart. The resurrected Aquatic Troop has also become Flora's minions, and is now following behind the Swamp Boat.
Yuan Mu and Amelia and others also admired the beautiful surroundings. True to its name, the crystal river is a paradise for beauty-loving creatures with its clear water reflecting the scenery on both sides.
The river in front of it suddenly took a turn in front of the mountain, and a quiet valley came into view. The valley is so large that the Crystal River branches off into a tributary that forms a crescent lake on a small plain in this valley.
The valley is covered with flowers and vines, and even the mountain walls are covered with flowers. The crescent moon lake reflects the mountain wall in the water, which is even more beautiful.
"Wow, I'm going to live here." Flo was fascinated as soon as she saw the valley.
Yuan Mu and the others also liked the environment, but Yuan Mu had to think about a few more things.
The woodlands in this valley are not as dense and there are enough plains to develop non-natural troops. There is a lake in the valley, just enough to put the city of mermaids. But before that, it is necessary to carefully investigate whether there are other forces and hidden dangers in the surroundings and in the lake.
Through the Crystal River, the city can be connected to the silt village. You can also rely on the Crystal River to extend your power upstream and downstream, but you need to ensure the strength of the aquarium army or water army, which requires Flo's mermaid city.
It is even possible to establish a stronghold in the upper reaches of the Crystal River, perhaps affecting the Windfury Canyon. The Windfury Canyon doesn't know how far it is from the Crystal River, which also needs to be investigated.
"I like it here too, what do you think?" Yuan Mu asked.
Amelia is the proposer, and she loves the valley too, of course she has no opinion. Several other elites also had no opinion, Tao Sino was leading the barbarian troops, and Yuan Mu would not consider him.
"Then if you find that there is no problem after exploring, let's build the city here."
A few people went to the valley to browse first, and as soon as they came ashore, they found a group of level 5 unicorns near the woodland of the valley. This group of unicorns has a multi-squad, there are several level 6 ones, and the leader is a level 6 unicorn elite.
Unicorn, a level 5 class of nature, has a blinding skill and an anti-demon aura. It likes to live in secluded woodlands and is a very pure creature.
Unicorn Boss (Green), Nature Level 5 Class, Current Level 6, Elite Unit, Talent Strong, Intelligence, Skill Blinding Light, Anti-Demon Aura, Natural Recoveryγ......γ
Yuan Mu also found a level 5 unicorn with a talent of manning and a chance to become a mount.
The group of unicorns showed vigilance when they saw Yuan Mu and his subordinates coming down from the swamp boat, but they did not attack.
"So many unicorns, what to do?" Thor asked.
It is not impossible to concentrate Yuan Mu's forces and forcibly destroy them to build a city, but the loss should not be small. Unicorns are also very famous among the level 5 classes, and there are also level 6 elites here.
"That woodland could be a unicorn woodland." Amelia said suddenly.
Yuan Mu thought that it was really possible, the unicorn woodland was a level 5 field class building of the natural department, which could recruit unicorns. There is also a hydra lair in the swamp that recruits level 5 hydras, which is also guarded by a group of level 6 hydra elders.
"I think we can do it the other way. Flo, it's up to you this time. Yuan Mu thought for a while.
-----------------------------------------
Gather the troops, and the Rotten and the Aqua will be responsible for transporting them across the river. As soon as Tausno came, he said loudly, "My lord, I'm ready to fight. In order to build the city, they will also go all out. β
Reed? Shi Dao and the other barbarian subordinates were all a little excited when they all knew that Yuan Mu was going to build a new level 2 city.
"It's none of your business here for the time being, you go with the others to check if there are other forces around, and don't have conflicts when you see wild creatures."
Yuan Mu looked behind Tao Sinuo, and he deliberately pointed out the butterfly girl he wanted to bring over. The two butterfly girls were recruited with Ursa in the prison of Wildpaw Village, and they have a natural affinity for the skill.
"Huh?"
Tao Snow looked at Yuan Mu depressedly and took his subordinates elsewhere.
"Flo, how's the situation in the lake?"
Flo swam up from the nearby river, and she changed back into her mermaid form, with Elder Oria and the Aquarium troops by her side.
"There is nothing dangerous in the lake. I also found two class buildings and a resource gathering point. β
Petal Fish Pond, a level 0 building of the natural system, can recruit the level 0 class of the natural system Petal Fish, and the skills are ornamental and attractable. This beautiful fish can improve the environment of the territory, and when it grows in number, it can attract some special creatures.
Mountain Peak Reflection, a free-type level 1 building, can recruit the soul of the reflection of a free-type level 1 rare unit, and the skills are virtual (can lurk, immune to most physical damage), and transform. This mysterious creature was discovered by Flo after careful examination of the Crescent Lake, and it is very hidden and can be used as a scout for the Aquarium troops.
The shore of the Gem Lake, located on the side of this crescent lake, allows for the collection of some gemstones. Gems are a must-have resource for recruiting many high-level, rare classes of Sovereign and Nature.
When Tausno and Delia, who had checked the situation nearby, returned, they both reported that they had not found any other forces in the vicinity.
Yuan Mu felt strange that the urban development level of the Ancestral Forest seemed to be much lower than that of the Valley Plains, Cold Wave Wasteland, and Wisdom Forest. Except for the level 5 elf cities in the north that the elf witch said, Yuan Mu had never heard of the existence of high-level cities.
This is also a good thing for the establishment of the city, ready, Yuan Mu only took Ursa, and the two butterfly girls approached the group of unicorns along the shore of the lake with Flo.
The two butterfly girls have affinity skills, and Fu Luo has an affinity, and the unicorn group did not attack Yuan Mu.
"Little Mermaid, young hero, what are you doing in this valley? The unicorn leader asked.
I didn't expect the unicorn leader to speak, so it would be much easier to communicate.
Yuan Mu said directly: "I want to build a city in this valley. β
There was a commotion in the unicorn group, and the unicorn leader did not speak, but looked at Yuan Mu and waited for him to continue speaking.
"I'm going to build two cities here, one for all of them, and one for mermaids. I don't want to conflict with you, you can continue to live here. If you wish, you can become the guardians of the new city, which will provide you with resources every time. β
Creatures in the wild also need resources, especially the guardian creatures of wild buildings. They can use resources to improve the effectiveness of field buildings, which is also good for their own advancement.
The system will also expand their population, and even worse, hero units may appear directly within them, forming new clans around wild buildings.
The unicorn leader said, "Humans, why do you have to build a city here? Our duty is to guard the woodland behind us, and I won't allow you to fight it. β
"This is the Unicorn Woodland, I can promise that I won't encroach on this building, and if anyone else wants to fight it, I can help you. Of course, I'll be happy to recruit some of your subordinates if you allow it. β
The unicorn leader thought about it seriously and discussed it with the unicorn group behind him. Turning back to Yuan Mu and said, "Human, because of this mermaid hero, I can trust you and hope that you will abide by the agreement you made." We don't want to be the guardians of the city, but as a sign of goodwill, you can recruit two level 5 unicorns among us. β
The unicorn leader also saw that the strength of Yuan Mu's troops in the distance was not weak, even if the city was built elsewhere, Yuan Mu might soon lead his troops to attack the unicorn woodland, so it was better to agree to him while Yuan Mu still wanted to negotiate.
And Yuan Mu also promised to help them protect the unicorn woodland together. Yuan Mu thought that this unicorn woodland would be his sooner or later, and of course he would not allow others to fight his idea.
Yuan Mu chose to recruit the unicorn who might become a mount and the other one with a relatively high growth profile.
