Chapter 9: Soldiers are more valuable than more. (Pretty boys and beauties, please read!)
After eating some simple food, the status entry on the goblin's head changed from [hungry] to [fasting].
It's getting a little better.
There is no work for the time being, so Gu An lets them rest temporarily, sleeping through hibernation and waiting for the fruits to ripen.
Guan did not rest.
He came to the cave hall, sat on a stone chair, and fell into deep thought.
Although they won the first battle in the territory not long ago and captured the Saint, they were able to win through traps and strategies.
If it were an experienced level 15 [Swordsman] instead of [Holy Priestess], the result of the battle would definitely be tragic.
The strength of the goblins is still too weak and needs to be strengthened as soon as possible, otherwise it will not only be unable to deal with the monsters in the forest, but also unable to resist the powerful adventurers that are coming.
"Do you need to summon some more mutated goblins?"
Gu An had the idea of recruiting more goblins, but he quickly gave up the idea.
Although the mutated goblin has strong basic values, the type it summons is not stable and its level is not high.
Soldiers are more valuable than more.
Being greedy for too many and not filling up the numbers will only create a rabble, which is of little significance. You should still find a way to increase the level of the existing goblins.
For the early stage of development, it is very important to have a group of elites as the backbone.
"System, is there any way to quickly increase the strength of goblins?"
[Goblins can accumulate experience points through battles to upgrade, and they can also increase their combat power through energy. 】
[Tip: Since the territory is still in its infancy, the upper limit of Goblin level is twenty. 】
Gu An learned about the method to improve the goblin's strength through the inquiry system.
Either the Liver Emperor or the Krypton Gold.
Very classic.
The path of the Gan Emperor is too slow and dangerous. It is obviously not suitable for the current situation, so the only way to overcome it is through krypton gold.
"How much energy is needed to raise all the mutated goblins to level 20?"
[Requires six hundred energy. 】
Although he had been mentally prepared, the amount still exceeded Gu An's expectations.
He now only has 280 energy. Even after completing the achievement task, he is still far short of the 600 amount.
Materials are in short supply and need to be distributed rationally.
It seems that now we need to improve the strength of some goblins first, and drive them from strength to strength.
The lustful goblin needs to face the opposite sex to exert its greatest fighting power. Although it can sometimes be miraculous, it is also the most useless part of the team.
Its improvement can be slowed down for a while.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu An decided to raise the level of the Fire Goblin to the highest level first, and use the remaining energy to strengthen the Ice Goblin.
We will continue to develop together when we gain more energy later.
"System, raise the level of the Fire Goblin to the highest level, and use all the remaining energy to strengthen the Ice Goblin."
[Goblins are strengthening——]
[Goblin strengthening successful! 】
[Energy consumption is two hundred and eighty. 】
Enhanced Goblin information:
[Evil Fire Goblin (Level 20): A mutated goblin that can spit fire, and its various strengths have been enhanced! 】
[Strength 60, Agility 62, Flame 58]
[Unlock new skills: Evil Fire Armor, which can surround the skin with a layer of demonic flames, temporarily increasing defense and attack power. 】
[Ice Goblin (Level 11): A mutated goblin that can breathe out the air of ice. All its strengths have been enhanced! 】
[Strength 25, Agility 22, Ice 28]
The basic values of both goblins have been greatly improved, bringing a full sense of security.
With the basic values and the enhancement of the Lord's skills, as long as they fight in the cave, even the Silver Team can still fight.
Gu An felt that the pressure suddenly decreased a lot. "System, what are the requirements for territory upgrade?"
After improving the strength of the goblins, Gu An began to study how to improve the level of the territory and clarify his future development goals.
[Territory upgrades can unlock more powerful traps and greatly increase the solidity and defense of the territory itself. 】
[Conditions for territory upgrade: four level 20 mutated goblins, one thousand wood, two thousand stone, and five hundred food. 】
"The materials required to upgrade the territory are really huge."
"It looks like this is a long-term project."
Gu An is not anxious about this. Territory upgrading is a major matter and cannot be completed overnight.
There are level 20 mutated goblins as independent combat forces. As long as they are not too arrogant and provoke high and middle-level monsters, or adventurers with platinum gold or above, they should be able to get through the early stage safely.
Once you know the requirements for upgrading your territory and slowly accumulate them, things will eventually fall into place.
After doing all this, Gu An was also a little tired. He leaned on the stone chair and fell into sleep unconsciously.
——
late at night.
The stars are dotted, accompanied by the bright moon, and the gleaming brilliance is dotted on the black curtain, smart and deep.
Entering the forest late at night, it is both peaceful and mysterious. The cold wind blows through, stirring up the rustling of leaves. Deep in the jungle, there are bursts of roars of wild beasts, which must be fighting.
Under the moonlight, a group of silver-grey wolves shuttled through the forest.
Their steps are light and flexible, and they walk without making any noise. Their sharp eyes flash with cold light, and their strong bodies are covered with ferocious muscles. At first glance, they are experienced predators.
Upon reaching the entrance of the Goblin's lair, the leading wolf suddenly stopped, ears erect, and looked up.
Next to it stood a little wolf with blackened fur and injuries.
[Is this where you got injured during the day? 】
[Yes, leader!
I was looking for food nearby. I wanted to kill a goblin, but I didn't expect to be attacked by its companions! 】
The leader wolf suddenly gave the little wolf a big-eared melon seed.
[You idiot, you were actually injured by the goblin, you really disgraced the tribe! 】
The injured little wolf whimpered and lay on the ground, holding his head with his two paws.
[Leader, those are not ordinary goblins. They can breathe fire and ice mist. Their methods are weird and terrifying! 】
Now, not only was the first wolf angry, but the other wolves also started to sigh and sneer at him.
【Asshole! Even though he lost the battle, he actually made up lies to make excuses for himself! Aren't you embarrassed enough? 】
The first wolf hair was furious.
If it weren't for the fact that the little wolf was injured, it would have really wanted to take a few bites.
Fire-breathing goblin? Goblin spraying ice mist?
There is no such thing in this world!
He really can't even tell lies. If word spreads about it, other monsters will laugh out loud.
Faced with such a shame and humiliation, the alpha wolf was angry with the little wolf and at the same time became even more angry with the goblins. It immediately roared:
[The bold goblins actually dare to attack the demon wolf tribe tonight. We must destroy them! 】
[Second, third and fourth, you go ahead and prepare to enter the cave! 】
…
In the cave——
Gu An was lying on his back on a stone chair and was sleeping. Unknowingly, several hours had passed and it was night.
This is the normal activity time of the goblins.
【warn! 】
[It has been detected that a pack of demonic wolves is wandering outside the territory. Please take precautions in advance! 】
The system's beep sounded suddenly, immediately waking up Gu An from his deep sleep.
He rubbed his eyes and shook his head. He had just woken up from his sleep and was obviously still a little confused. It took him a while to understand what had happened.
Demonic wolves?
Could it be that the demonic wolf that attacked the lewd goblin during the day came with helpers?
