From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

The battle is completely over.

The fortress was severely damaged both inside and outside. It was not difficult to see from the traces on the battlefield that the battle was brutal, especially when the adventurers successfully broke through the city gate defense line and entered the fortress for close combat.

At that time, there were only 4,000 elite soldiers left in the Black Iron Fortress.

However, due to their familiarity with the terrain and the use of various formations and mechanisms, the adventurers suffered a lot. Most of the casualties in this battle occurred in the fierce internal street fighting.

Fortunately, the adventurers in Miracle City have many methods and abilities and are highly adaptable.

So in the end, the city was taken without any suspense.

"Report to the Lord!"

"The dark species have all been wiped out!"

"We seized about 4.2 pieces of equipment!"

"Various materials, ores, and other resources are estimated to be as high as 12!"

"..."

The adventurer stepped forward to report.

Qi Ji expressed great satisfaction.

The contribution points were immediately distributed to the adventurers.

Of the 1,500 adventurers who participated in the battle, each received over 800 contribution points, which is a huge number, enough to make the adventurers feel like they have made a fortune!

As for the territory.

Another wave of monetary liquidity was injected.

This can promote the economic cycle of the territory, make the territory more prosperous, and prevent everyone from holding on to contribution points without spending them, which would lead to deflation due to lack of currency circulation.

"Report to the Lord."

"We freed seven thousand slaves!"

"Nearly six thousand of them are dwarves."

"We have communicated with them, and most of them are willing to join the territory and swear allegiance to the Lord!"

"..."

Qi Ji expended tens of thousands of mental powers to give these people the territory mark in one breath. In this way, the Miracle Territory added a large number of people, and the total population has reached more than 40,000.

very good!

very nice!

Population resources themselves are one of the most precious resources!

Especially since Miracle City currently has a large population and an extremely short supply of grassroots staff and labor.

Qi Ji then carried out some emergency construction on the Black Iron Fortress, repairing its walls, building arrow towers and reconnaissance towers, as well as territory warehouses, monster camps and other facilities.

Deploy another Gatling Seeker, two Bazooka Seekers, and a small team of Kobold Machine Gunners.

In this way, due to the Black Iron Fortress's rugged terrain and its characteristics of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Phantom Trolls launch a counterattack, it will not be possible to quickly recapture the fortress, and the territory will have enough time to react.

The human race has the advantage of teleportation and is extremely mobile.

Therefore, there is no need to deploy too many troops in local areas. As long as the main city remains vigilant at all times and the troops are kept in a state of rapid response at all times, reinforcements can be sent in any direction in a timely manner.

This strategic location is now secure.

Qi Ji could relax and continue to enjoy the fruits of victory.

The first thing that came to his mind was of course the Chaos Treasure Chest he obtained after occupying the Black Iron Fortress. The quality of this treasure chest was not low, and there was a chance of getting good things. He felt that there was no time to lose and activated it immediately.

[You opened a Chaos Treasure Chest, Soul Crystals +35000, "Blueprint: Monster Sealing Altar" +1.]

Only one blueprint?

Although the content is not much.

But the quality of the drawings is not low.

Qi Ji's eyes lit up: "It's actually a monster altar? This thing is just right to be useful!"

View drawings.

[Blueprint: Monster Sealing Altar], a third-level rare blueprint, construction requirements: 1.2 soul crystals, 8000 materials, 6000 spirit.

A rare third-tier building.

Supporting facilities of the monster camp.

It can only be used when built in a monster camp of level three or higher.

The function of the monster altar is very simple. It can seal any monster in the camp and integrate it into the body of any citizen of the territory.

Do it.

At least two benefits.

First, monsters kept in the camp will generate daily consumption. If they are sealed in the bodies of the people in the territory, although more materials will be consumed at one time during the ritual, no additional expenses will be incurred after the sealing is completed.

Secondly, the monster is sealed into the people of the territory, which is equivalent to giving the people the ability to transform their spirits, which is equivalent to creating a long-term mercenary and giving the monster wisdom.

simply speaking.

The effect of the monster altar can be understood as.

A large group of ordinary people who are powerless.

Let them become "jinchūriki" and fuse with a monster in a territory.

These people will gain the ability to transform their spirits. After becoming corresponding monsters, they can not only unleash the monster's full strength, but also control the monster through their own wisdom to complete more complex actions.

Of course, the transformation effect is time-limited and has its limits.

If the duration is too long, the monster seal will become invalid.

If the monster's power is overused, or the host is fatally injured, it may cause the monster to become exhausted and die.

Therefore, the people whose monster power is sealed must use this power with caution. They must return to the monster camp every once in a while to use the monster altar to repair the seal or replenish energy.

Also.

Every citizen of the territory.

Can only seal one type of monster.

However, the monster's power can be changed by removing the seal.

Generally speaking, the effects of the Monster Altar and the Mercenary House are somewhat similar. Both can temporarily grant the power of monsters to the people of a specific territory, but there are great differences in the specific operations.

The Mercenary House is operated by spirits and can only be used by adventurers. The advantage is low cost, but it can only last for one day.

The Monster Altar directly uses the ready-made territory monsters, which means that the territory monsters must be summoned first, and the cost of summoning monsters is usually more than ten times that of creating a level mercenary.

This means that the total cost is actually very high.

But the good thing is that it is not limited to adventurers, any citizen can become a container, and as long as this power is not actively used, the shelf life of the monster power is very long.

There is a monster altar.

Qi Ji can develop new types of monster soldiers.

He can select a group of subjects who are of low level and weak strength but loyal and reliable enough, choose monsters from the monster camp and seal them into their bodies, thus forming a guard force for the territory.

The biggest disadvantage of monster soldiers is that they have no intelligence.

It can be solved with the monster altar.

Of course, it is impossible for Qi Ji to seal all high-level monsters on the people of the territory, because once the seal is formed, the monster and the host will be bound together, and if the host encounters an accident or is assassinated before he can react.

no doubt.

Monsters die too.

The risks and costs should not be underestimated.

Qi Ji was very satisfied with this harvest.

Although only one blueprint was produced, it was exactly what the territory needed.

When Qi Ji finished all the cleanup work, it was almost six o'clock in the morning in Miracle City, which meant that the dungeon world was open again.

……

When the tide of chaos once again enveloped the world.

This means that the conflict in the Chaos Continent has come to a temporary end.

Thousands of adventurers rushed into the hall; for them, this was the happiest moment of the day!

Visaros walked into the secret hall with twenty high-level undead. It was not difficult to see that the adventurers in Miracle City were once again full in seconds after the city opened, and the number had increased significantly compared to yesterday.

Although a lot happened in a short period of time.

But at this moment, Vesalus had put everything else behind him.

Nothing is more important now than enjoying secret places and adventures.

Aklu said, "I'm about to complete the job transfer quest. I heard the next main quest will be to the Sky City on the west coast."

"Castle in the Sky?"

"What is that place?"

"It is said to be related to the Celestial Realm, which is where the Sharpshooter lived before he came to Arad."

"What? It seems that the worldview of the secret realm of the Arad continent is actually far more than Arad itself. It is entirely possible that we can explore the heavens in the future!"

"..."

The adventurers were all curious.

The Castle in the Sky sounds very exciting. No one knows where it comes from, what kind of story it has, and how many new and strange things you will encounter in it.

Decipher the mysterious unknown.

Keep challenging and exploring.

This is the greatest joy of an adventurer.

Vesaros is about to reach level 19. He plans to lead a few undead to fight the "Zombie King", which is the Dark Thunder Ruins of King difficulty, to help them complete their job transfers and level up at the same time, and then complete the main quest and go to the west coast sky city for adventure.

Better to find a helper.

This will make the process faster.

Vesaros noticed the Blackstone Hammer King nearby.

"Little Hei, what are your plans for today? Shall we kill the Zombie King together?"

The Blackstone Hammer King had just activated the Secret Realm Crystal. When he received the invitation from the old lich, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No hurry, no hurry. I heard that the Blacklight Coming chapter has been updated. I plan to go to the Blacklight World first to have some fun."

The black light of the secret realm of frenzy?

After entering the secret hall, Visaros.

He had already noticed that many adventurers were discussing this topic. Now, as the secret crystals were activated one by one, many adventurers chose to challenge the black light.

of course.

Because black light is charged.

So not all adventurers interested in it have the capital challenge.

These adventurers who really wanted to challenge Black Light but were short of money ran to the secret crystal where Black Light was challenging to watch. This shows that this secret realm is also quite popular in Miracle City.

Vesalus couldn't help but become a little interested.

Anyway, the day is quite long.

Let’s see what’s going on first.

Vesaros let Akru and other high-level undeads clear the map on their own first, while he stayed beside the secret crystal of the Blackstone Hammer King, watching the latest content of the Blacklight chapter with a dozen adventurers.

After the crystal is activated.

Quickly select the Doomsday Tide secret realm.

When choosing "Dark Light Arrival".
