Divine Realm: Starting with the Broken Bone Dragon

After conducting a detailed data survey of all the troop types within the Divine Realm, Lin Fan immediately decided that in the next 20 years, only skeletons that would advance to the extraordinary level would be transformed into gargoyles, skeleton tigers, and skeleton mages.

The ratio is roughly 7 to 1 to 2. After all, although these skeleton tigers aren't very strong, they're still quite good at carrying skeleton mages.

There are currently nearly 4 skeleton archers in the Divine Realm, which is enough to deal with lightly armored units.

As for heavily armored units, the only option is to let the gargoyles engage in melee combat. Before the skeleton mages develop extraordinary spells, the skeleton army doesn't really have any good solutions for heavily armored units.

"Looks like it's time to retire this skeleton guard after using it for so long."

Lin Fan felt a little regretful, but not disappointed.

He understands the principle that if you fall behind, you will be attacked. The Skeleton Guard's current role is too limited, so it is only natural that it will be eliminated by the Gargoyle.

If he had better ranged units, Lin Fan would have even considered eliminating the Skeleton Archers.

Unfortunately, even after searching through his memories, Lin Fan couldn't find a better ranged attack unit than the Skeleton Archer, so he had to start with the Skeleton Archer itself.

However, there's no need to rush this matter, since with the blessing of the earth's power, these skeleton archers' damage output is still quite good.

Lin Fan simply wrote down what he needed to do on the skeleton book monster and then went straight to find the skeleton mages he hadn't seen for 30 years.

To his surprise, these skeleton mages were already researching extraordinary spells. As long as one skeleton mage developed an extraordinary spell, the combat power of these skeleton mages would increase dramatically!

"The first skeleton mage to research extraordinary magic must have great potential. We should get Jiang Mengyao to take notice and give him a blessing."

After traversing the Divine Realm and confirming his goal, Lin Fan immediately threw himself into his work.

In the first year, we tried to optimize the transformation form of the Skeleton Archer, experiencing thousands of failures before changing our approach.

In the second year, they attempted to create new flying units, but the magic circles exploded one after another, yet they persisted in the experiment.

In the fifth year, Lin Fan, whose white face had been blown to a black one, completely gave up on creating new flying units and instead continued to research other ranged units.

In the ninth year, the Skeleton Spearman was created. After testing, it proved to be inferior to the Skeleton Archer, so improvements were attempted.

In the fifteenth year, a large amount of resources were spent to create a super-level skeleton spear thrower, but it was still inferior to the skeleton archer and was unfortunately removed from the game.

In the sixteenth year, he began to study the physical composition of the Earth Giants and the runic power of the Earth.

In the eighteenth year, the transformation method of gargoyles was successfully optimized. The height of ordinary gargoyles reached 1.5 meters, and the height increase after breakthrough was fixed (for example, the height of extraordinary gargoyles in normal physical condition is 2.5 meters, and the height of extraordinary gargoyles in good physical condition is 3.5 meters, and the value increases fixedly).

In the twentieth year, a large amount of resources were spent over two years to transform and strengthen all the gargoyles in the divine realm, and the strength of the gargoyles was enhanced once again.

.......

Time flies.

Lin Fan straightened his body and stretched in the air, his more than 60-meter-long body stretching out freely, which was quite a spectacular sight.

"That's fast indeed. In another 125 years (5 months in real time), we'll be kicked out of the public exploration zone."

During this period, there have been significantly more divine realms in the public exploration area, which should be because the six-month period designated by each race has come to an end.

"It's better to get out of here sooner. This public exploration area is still too barren. If you want to develop, you can only rely on stealing."

"You have a good attitude. Who knows how many seasoned demigods will be lurking in the demigod resource well?"

Jiang Mengyao rolled her eyes and started picking at Lin Fan's bones.

"That's true. But we'll deal with whatever comes our way. As a bone dragon of chieftain level, I should be able to protect your divine realm without any problem."

That's right. Generally, demigods rely mainly on extraordinary beings as their main force, with a small number of elites acting as leaders. The chieftains and their followers are things that lower-ranking gods need to consider.

Lin Fan is already at the leader level, and his growth rate is quite fast. Jiang Mengyao estimates that before she can break through to the lower god level, Lin Fan will already be at the lord level.

That's absolutely incredible!

"We now have over 3 extraordinary gargoyles, and our resources are almost exhausted. It's time to go and raid some more."

Lin Fan was quite relaxed. These 30,000 gargoyles were now on par with the Earth Giant in strength, defense was also quite good, and recovery was fast.

If we were to encounter those two demigods, the two earth giants, again, these gargoyles and skeleton archers alone could easily wipe them out.

Of course, if it were a one-on-one fight against the Earth Giant, these gargoyles with average physical condition would naturally be no match. Lin Fan estimated that once these gargoyles reached excellent physical condition, they would be able to defeat the Earth Giant in a one-on-one fight.

"Hmph, it's all because you wouldn't let me sell the Star Pattern Purple Iron. Besides, don't you know how much resource these gargoyles consume?"

"If you let me sell the Star Pattern Purple Iron, the Divine Realm can develop peacefully for at least another 60 years."

"Then, after breaking through to the lower-level godhood, it will be necessary to spend a lot of money to buy back these star-patterned purple irons to forge divine artifacts."

Lin Fan picked up on Jiang Mengyao's words and reached out his paw to shake hers.

"Right now, in this public exploration zone, as long as we don't act recklessly, we are absolutely top-tier. We can fight whomever we want and rob whomever we want. There's no need to waste such a valuable and rare item as Star Pattern Purple Iron just for the sake of peaceful development."

"Otherwise, when you need to buy star-patterned purple iron, who knows how much time it will take."

"Yeah, hehe, you see further ahead."

Jiang Mengyao gave a thumbs up.

"But I'll still dare to talk back next time, hehehe~"

"You silly girl."

After the two of them had a playful fight, Jiang Mengyao tidied herself up a bit.

"If you tickle me again, I won't play with you anymore!"

After saying that, she disappeared from Lin Fan's sight.

"A little girl who can't take a joke."

Lin Fan shook his head. In his eyes, Jiang Mengyao was about the size of a small figurine. With his strong body control, tickling her was a piece of cake.

Outside the divine realm, several probe beacons were moving in different directions.

This is a new little item Jiang Mengyao bought; it costs 10 divine power points, but it's incredibly useful for finding other divine realms.

Over the years, she has discovered many probe beacons, but she has always managed to maneuver her divine realm to avoid them.

As for the other divine realms, it's uncertain whether they can avoid it in time, since not everyone's divine realm has a powerful steward with extremely high faith.

"Hmph hmph hmph—"

Jiang Mengyao hummed a song happily, her little hands still tossing around the probe beacons. Anyway, they cost 10 divine power points each, and she had plenty of money!

Several days passed, and finally a detection beacon responded!
