If the continent of Iron must be compared to some kind of animal, then a charging bull with its head lowered might be a more appropriate choice.
But where Chiba Forest is located, there is a knight riding on a bull (see the Easter egg chapter).
The entire Ailan continent, including the underground world and offshore waters, has a total of thirty-three areas.
Eight days later, thirty-three city hearts will fall into the hands of thirty-three players on this continent.
Except for Ai Lan, no one among the players in the other thirty-two regions can completely secure the top spot in the rankings.
In other words, the closer to the end of the month, the more terrifying the competition between players will be.
On the last day, the players in the other thirty-two areas will probably be beaten out of their wits.
In comparison, Chiba Forest, which triggered the camp war in advance, is relatively stable.
In fact, starting from the fourth week, Cross, who is second in the rankings, has no more points.
Someone once saw her leading a large group of centaurs into the plains of beasts.
Ai Lan doesn't care whether this news is true or not.
With a difference of more than 10,000 points, Cross would have no chance of making a comeback unless there was another Battle of Bear Town.
Qianye Forest has entered a state of full combat readiness. It would be even more difficult for Purgatory to replicate the Battle of Bear Town than to reach the sky.
So during these eight days, Ai Lan can safely hide on the east coast and develop silently.
Of course, he doesn't have to do anything.
There are a lot of little monsters wandering along the extremely long and narrow coastline of the east coast, and these are valuable points.
There are a lot of general blueprints in the forest treasure house that can be exchanged. How could Ai Lan let this piece of fat go?
However, during these eight days, he and Kaka would squat on the Yalkiman mangrove tree to help it grow to adulthood as quickly as possible.
So Ai Lan divided his team into two and asked them to separate to sweep up the points on the coastline.
The first team must be led by his ace - Renne.
Renn led a tree man fortress and 19 elf archers, starting from south to north, sweeping all the way until all the little monsters in front were killed, and then returned.
In addition, Ailan also asked Wright and Sid to follow Renn, the main purpose of which was naturally to give them some experience.
The second team is led by Gray Crow. In addition to sweeping away the little monsters, this team also has another mission, which is to upgrade the crow's nest.
Crow's Nest is now at level 0, and doesn't even have a combat profession.
Gray Crow's current combat power is definitely the second strongest in the team besides Ren.
A hundred crow soldiers can walk sideways in the wilderness.
In addition to these two mopping up teams, the remaining member Ai Lan also has other plans.
Aphra and Mars are both marine races, and Old One-Eye is not only a local aboriginal, but also a pirate, and is very familiar with the offshore sea.
Ai Lan handed them the Marauder's Map, the Magic Pearl, the Murloc's Flipper and the Sea Elf's Sextant, and asked them to explore all the nearby sea maps.
Sea Elf's Sextant [Level 4 Treasure]: A secret treasure treasured by the Sea Elf clan. It automatically records sea charts and automatically identifies the direction of the sea.
Placed in the utility column, movement speed in water +25%.
The Poseidon Hat is a bonus treasure of the legion. As long as it is worn on the commander's head, his subordinates can get bonuses.
Poseidon Hat [Level 4 Treasure]: A hat once worn by Poseidon. The sea movement of the troops under his command is +500, making the troops immune to whirlpools and storms.
The three of them went out on an adventure as a team, and Ai Lan wasn't worried about their safety at all.
Mars' combat effectiveness in the sea is definitely dad-level.
If Rennes enters the sea, he will definitely not be a match for Mars.
There is no need to fight. With the Seahorse Knight's flexibility in the sea, he can sneak Ren to death.
In addition, after so many days, Aphra has accumulated more than a hundred gems on her body.
With her spell assistance and Old One-Eye on the sidelines, Ai Lan didn't have to worry too much about the dangers they would encounter as long as they didn't enter the deep sea.
In this way, for eight whole days, Ai Lan actually squatted on the Yalkiman mangrove tree without taking a step away.
During these eight days, he awakened three tree fortresses, two miniature tree people, and two ancient tree sacrifices.
During this period, Papala came over several times to deliver supplies and troops.
Until the last day, with a crisp system prompt.
"bite……"
A small round ball that looked ordinary suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Congratulations on winning the first prize in Forest Defense: Heart of the City."
"System prompt: The heart of the city is the most precious treasure in the new world, please use it with caution."
"Get the Lord's Manual."
The game company was very considerate and gave him a Lord's Manual as a gift.
In addition, the system prompts are also very interesting. The most precious treasure Ai Lan has ever seen is undoubtedly divinity.
But the heart of the city is obviously several levels higher than divinity.
This is officially certified as the most precious treasure.
"It seems that the cities in the new world are a little different from what I imagined."
What exactly is different? Perhaps we can get some clues from this "Lord's Manual".
After obtaining the Heart of the City, Ai Lan did not start taking action immediately. Instead, he opened the Lord's Manual and read it slowly.
Today is actually the 30th day since the server was launched, and the rankings will be settled one day earlier than expected.
The three expedition teams are still on their way back, so Ai Lan still has half a day to read this booklet slowly.
"Lord's Manual"
Chapter 1: City Level
Level 0: Village
Level 1: Village
Level 2: Town
Level 3: City
Level 4: Royal City
Level 5: Holy Kingdom on Earth
Level 6: Kingdom of God
Chapter 2: Leyline Nodes
What are Leyline Nodes?
The most typical Dragon's Tomb is the best leyline node in the undead city.
The more bizarre and strange the place, the more suitable it is for building a city.
Burying the heart of the city in such a place will not only allow the city to obtain various special bonuses, but the heart of the city will also give certain feedback to the area.
The higher the level of the leyline node, the more general energy the City Heart can absorb and transform.
And universal energy does to the heart of the city what blood does to a living thing.
Without energy, all functions of City Heart cannot be used.
Therefore, before building a city, you must carefully select a geomantic treasure land with abundant earth energy.
Note: Please ignore this chapter for moving cities.
"???"
"So after watching it for a long time, I just didn't watch it."
Ailan's first city must be built on the Yalkiman mangrove tree.
After eight days of careful cultivation, this huge mangrove has occupied less than half of the east coast.
The tree is so huge that it looks like a living forest.
It's hard to imagine what it will be like when it really wakes up.
Then look down.
Chapter 3: Universal Energy.
The level 0 village can actually be regarded as the prototype of the Kingdom of God.
Every advancement of the city is a step towards the Kingdom of God.
Why the heart of a city is precious is because theoretically every heart of a city has the opportunity to develop into a kingdom of God.
The most critical node related to urban development is universal energy.
There is a very interesting theory in the new world.
As long as you have enough universal energy, you can realize any wish with the heart of the city.
To translate this theory: as long as you have 2,000 words and enough time, you can write any book in the world.
Although this theory is so absurd, it is not difficult to see the importance of universal energy to the heart of the city.
In addition, in addition to general energy, when you select the attribute of a city heart, the city heart can also convert camp energy.
For example, the city heart that Ai Lan obtained currently has no attributes. Before building a city, he needs to convert it into a natural element.
Then the heart of the city will gain the ability to transform natural energy.
Natural energy has a powerful bonus to natural buildings.
Chapter 4: Architecture.
Universal energy is almost omnipotent, but the most important areas include city construction, city upgrades, building capacity bonuses, city defense, etc...
The construction chapter is relatively complex and has the most words in the entire booklet.
Ai Lan read it back and forth several times, and after thoroughly understanding it, he finally turned to the last chapter of this lord's manual.
Chapter 5: Upgrade.
How should a city be upgraded?
The answer is actually very simple, energy, energy, energy.
As long as you have enough energy, you can upgrade a level 0 village to a level 6 kingdom in one day.
So how to quickly accumulate energy for upgrades?
Example: A unit of pearls can be perfectly converted into a point of energy.
So you can build a large pearl farm on the beach and then upgrade it quickly through farming.
Another example: plunder.
Destroy the enemy's city, plunder the heart of the city, and then bring it back to your own territory to devour it, and you will gain amazing energy.
Looting is the fastest and riskiest way to level up.
The third example trade: Trade City is also a very good upgrade route.
Although gold coins cannot be directly converted into general energy, they can buy most items in the world.
In addition to these three most classic plans, hiding in a corner and simply surrendering to a powerful lord are very common development routes.
I read the "Lord's Manual" back and forth several times, and by the end, Ai Lan almost had to memorize every word.
Mars and the others were the first to come back. After looking at the small map, Gray Crow and Renne were about to arrive.
That being the case.
"Then let's get started."
Ai Lan took a deep breath and walked slowly to the Yalkiman mangrove tree.
This was the tree summoning he was most excited about and the one he was most looking forward to.
He had fantasized countless times about what kind of soldiers the Yalkiman Mangrove would turn into after it woke up.
But no matter how he guessed, Ai Lan couldn't help but overturn his guess every time he saw the incredible body of this giant tree.
The body of an adult Yarkman mangrove tree that is exposed to the air actually accounts for only a very small part.
The largest part of the mangrove's body is completely immersed in the sea water.
Even so, at this time, less than half of the east coast has been swallowed up by this "mangrove".
Mars once said that even if the roots are far away on the seabed 10,000 meters deep, the crown of the mangrove can still reach out to the sea.
Although the tree they cultivated is only a few thousand meters tall, its stretched out body is already large enough for Ai Lan to use.
"Wake up the trees!"
The use of talent skills is still so mediocre.
Ai Lan reached out and pointed, and an invisible wave of energy penetrated Mangrove's body.
Then, the entire land began to tremble crazily.
Ai Lan, who had anticipated this, turned around and ran away without hesitation.
With Mangrove's huge body, he wouldn't be surprised at what kind of commotion it would cause when it wakes up.
"No, the ground is cracked!"
A huge gap suddenly opened in the ground in front of him, and Ai Lan was caught off guard and almost fell into it.
Fortunately, after the earthquake reached this level, it stopped rising.
Ai Lan fled in embarrassment, and finally escaped into the swamp in the distance.
Standing so far away, he could finally take a good look at the changes that had happened to the Yalkiman mangroves.
"So many air roots!"
There are many similarities between the Yarkman mangrove and the banyan tree, the most similar of which is the countless aerial roots.
Aerial roots are plant roots exposed to the air.
At this time, countless tentacle-like air roots all stretched out of the sea, tumbling crazily in the air like a sea monster.
After a long time, these roots slowly fell silent and submerged into the sea again.
At the same time, the violent shaking gradually subsided.
Ai Lan immediately understood that the mangrove's awakening had come to an end.
After waiting patiently for a moment, when all the vibrations disappeared, he immediately opened the properties panel.
