In the north of the territory, there are traces of strange activities caused by Tenant No. 5.

Definitely can't get close.

To the west lies the great threat of the Old City.

Currently, the only directions that can be explored are to continue eastward, deep into the interior of the Dark Forest, or to the south to explore the towering mountains.

After thinking about it, Cheng Shen crossed out the first option.

He always felt that this ancient forest still had horrors that had not yet appeared. He had encountered so many strange things just on the outskirts of the dark forest, and he probably didn't know what was hidden deep in the forest.

It's always good to prepare an escape route in advance.

"These are the people. I will equip you with guards. Starting tomorrow, we will explore the mineral veins along the southern path of the forest."

Cheng Shen said.

Of course, he didn't say anything about opening a map by the way.

It's still early.

Cheng Shen first sent the items made of star gold to the blacksmith for smelting. Then, he completed today's daily defense task and randomly selected a lucky person from the Chaos camp to invade.

After two battles, he gained a lot more resources, and he also accumulated a total of 25 bravery certificates.

But Cheng Shen hasn't figured out how to use these brave men's certificates yet.

Although it can be exchanged for precious extraordinary-level defense towers and equipment, the former requires resources that are currently unproduced to cultivate.

The latter can only be worn if you have advanced to extraordinary level.

It's useless to exchange it.

There is too much uncertainty in extracting rare or perfect-level defense towers and units, as in the case of a single-draw miracle like Arjika.

It’s really too much of a gamble on character.

What's more, Cheng Shen is also afraid of being arranged by the system for no reason...

"scold!"

A loud eagle cry suddenly resounded in the sky.

Cheng Shen's conversation with Weiman came to an abrupt end. He looked up in the air alertly and saw a large group of giant eagles with vibrating blue wings flying high in the sky, flying straight to the east.

go.

A bright blue-purple light shone beneath them, and their claws seemed to be grabbing something.

"You can report the specific situation to me later!"

Cheng Shen said immediately.

He was originally discussing the improvement of firearms with Weiman, but he couldn't care about it at the moment. He knew where the group of giant eagles came from, and he quickly discerned that the place they were going was in the direction of the territory not far away.

Cheng Shen didn't know the purpose of these giant eagles.

But it is expected that they would not want to do anything good if they were wearing the same pants as that devil!

Whoosh!

Cheng Shen quickly blessed himself with several layers of light body skills, then burst out and ran towards the territory with all his strength.

While he was still on the road, he saw the group of giant eagles flying over the territory. Then they let go of the object between their claws and allowed the ball of light, shining with blue and purple light, to fall freely towards the territory!

boom!!

The light ball was stopped by an invisible barrier tens of meters above the adjacent territory.

Then it instantly exploded into a solid plasma that spread and flowed!

The translucent territory protection barrier was suddenly exaggerated as if cracks burst out, and then began to shake extremely unstablely!

[Warning! Your main territory is under attack!]

[Tip: The source of this attack has been confirmed. Do you want to immediately establish a declaration of war with Storm Castle? Once the war is declared, both parties will officially enter a state of war, and public sentiment will continue to decline during the period affected by this state!]

…

A warning sounded in my ear.

Cheng Shen saw the sky-high flames rising in the territory, and kept intercepting the light balls in mid-air and detonating them. He felt a little calmer. Fortunately, Aljieka and Yousegra were both in the territory, so the protective barrier would not be breached.

But this raid on Storm Castle exceeded his expectations.

"I just warned the devil yesterday, and today I couldn't help but test it.

It seems that the speed with which I uprooted the sacrificial temple aroused its vigilance..."

Cheng Shen's eyes flickered.

The devil race has always been known for its cunning and cunning, not to mention that this devil has lived for so many years, so of course he is not that stupid. It doesn't really matter that he destroyed the devil's contract or used weird ways to retaliate.

The important thing is.

Cheng Shen has shown his attitude to it through actions.

Before entering the old city, whether it is to clear out possible hidden dangers or to collect dagger fragments.

He will definitely clean up these dangerous forces thoroughly.

Cheng Shen originally hoped that through the strangeness, he would be able to scare it into not wanting to do anything in a short period of time.

Unexpectedly, it responded quickly...

Declare war!

Although the state of war will affect the territory's public sentiment and stability and other attributes.

However, the war sandbox will be opened, providing convenient functions for real-time monitoring of the battlefield and dispatching troops.

In addition, the state of war is mainly affected by the morale of the army.

win the battle,

Annihilate the enemy,

It can all boost morale.

With the addition of high morale, the territory's attributes will rise instead of falling.

After all, the more powerful a territory is, the more proud and proud its residents will be.

and.

Starting a state of war and winning is also one of the key ways to gain territory reputation.

Cheng Shen had no reason to let go of this opportunity.

[Tip: Your territory has officially entered a state of war!]

…

Buzz!

In the territory management panel unfolded in front of Cheng Shen, an illusory three-dimensional sand table immediately emerged, with each unit and building clearly marked on it, and he could directly issue instructions to it.

He can control everything even when he is not in the territory.

Cheng Shen immediately checked the status of the fence. Thanks to the quick reactions of Aljieka and Yousegra, most of the attacks in this air strike were intercepted, and very few of the attacks actually landed on the protective barrier.

even so.

The wall he had upgraded to level eight still lost most of its durability.

"Ordinary-level walls are no longer enough and must be upgraded to sophisticated levels."

Cheng Shen had never invested too much in basic defense facilities such as walls. Amy built these eight levels on her own initiative because he felt that no enemy could bypass the defense towers and his defenses.

But this air raid left him helpless.

no way.

Those giant eagles flew too high.

They maintain an altitude of over 500 meters even when dropping destructive materials.

This distance seems to exceed the range of all defense towers in the territory.

Even he can't reach the other party!

This is just one air attack. If there are another two or three times, or they make a sneak attack at night when the territory is not well defended, the eight-level wooden fence alone will not be able to defend even one attack!

Raise the wall first!

Normal-level wooden walls have two upgrade options after reaching level 10, the bluestone wall that focuses on defense, and the thorn wall that comes with counter-injury.

However, the thorn wall is only effective against melee units, while the bluestone wall also has excellent physical defense.

The thunderballs thrown by the giant eagle obviously deal magic damage.

He was dissatisfied with both kinds of walls.

Think about it.

Cheng Shen first added the instruction to upgrade the wooden fence to the full level into the territory's construction list.

At the same time, he issued recall instructions to all residents working outside.

To avoid being affected by the war.

Cheng Shen, the subsidiary territory of the goblin clan, was originally built in the south of the territory, close to the mountain range.

But this is not because he is preparing for a rainy day, but because of the current development direction of the territory.

The east and south sides, which have not yet encountered threats, have the most free areas.

If Storm Castle wants to attack that subsidiary territory, it must first pass through its main territory.

There's no need to worry.

While the wall was being built, Cheng Shen went to the market and screened a batch of architectural drawings.
