273 Losses
After the battle ended, the residents of the territory were all in disbelief. They had witnessed the Fire Magic Arrows first-hand.
“Gods above! It worked! It must be the power of the great Dark Demon Dragon!”
“What did I just see? The Night Elves’ arrows just killed thousands of monsters!”
The residents of the territory knew that this had something to do with the Dark Demon Dragon. The Lord was powerful, but she was nothing when compared to the Dark Demon Dragon.
!!
The pride and admiration they felt for the Dark Demon Dragon were overwhelming.
Scarlen, who was holding his bow in his hand, took a deep breath. His heart overflowed with emotion.
If he went to the mythical ruins once again, he would definitely use these arrows on the magic puppets! The Fire Elemental Cores were simply too extraordinary.
Su Wan looked at the corpses of the Venom Vultures around her.
“Hide these corpses.”
Although the Venom Vultures were poisonous and inedible, they could still be sold in exchange for resources. She was a little happy when she thought about that, but she remained on alert.
The wild creatures had attacked out of the blue. It made Su Wan angry. Weren’t they just trying to take advantage of a harmless territory?
Fortunately, she had already made the Night Devil Bees guard the area. Otherwise, their losses would have been great.
Su Wan was a little afraid. If they hadn’t returned to the territory on time from their expedition, the territory would have been in trouble, even with the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint present. They would have probably suffered heavy losses.
The Hundred Night Flower Honey produced by the Night Devil Bees was a treasure. If something went wrong and the Night Devil Bees were harmed, it would be a huge blow to her.
She had three close friends who relied on her for the honey. She needed to fortify her territory’s defense, especially against air attacks.
Su Wan decided to create more towers where the Night Elves could stay on guard.
While Su Wan pondered on the possibilities, the bodies of the Venom Vultures were rounded up.
The little butterfly approached Su Wan to report on the situation. “My Lord, 20 residential buildings were damaged. Five of those have completely burned down. 45 people were injured. Thankfully, no deaths were recorded.”
“On the bright side, we obtained 786 Venom Vulture corpses.”
Su Wan nodded. She turned to Xu Yuan. “Xu Yuan, we need to consider some arrow towers in our territory from where the Night Elves can defend the area when needed.”
Their defense was strong for land attacks. However, air attacks were a serious problem.
Xu Yuan had no objection to her suggestion.
Once the Hero Altar was complete, Su Wan resolved to build more towers. Meanwhile, she thought of finding a blacksmith so that she could place an order for more crossbows.
The territory’s foundation was still weak. It had been upgraded to Level 3, but it was far too empty to be on par to its level. There was no choice but to fill it slowly.
Xu Yuan did not dwell much on it. If there was an attack that threatened the territory, he could handle it. He looked at the Venom Vultures and frowned.
These creatures could easily hunt bison and lions. Their wingspan was huge and impenetrable by ordinary arrows.
However, they couldn’t be eaten as food even when dead because of their poisonous nature. It was such a waste.
Xu Yuan checked the interface for materials on the market. The price of meat had dropped to 1–15 units of resources. Other types of food cost around 1–10 units of resources.
It was a pity the Venom Vultures couldn’t be sold. Otherwise, they would have been rich!
Xu Yuan opened the bounty section. There were bounties against some types of troops. Some bounties were issued by mage Lords of the Dark-Types for rare troop types. The price went up to almost 10,000 units.
Xu Yuan checked those bounties again in surprise. They had 786 Venom Vultures. They could be sold for 10,000,000 units of resources!
How could the Lords be so willing to spend so much money on some creature?
The corpses did not fetch much of anything usually. The rare ones were worth only around a thousand units of resources.
He showed the interface to Su Wan. She wasn’t in a hurry to sell the corpses.
“What level are the Venom Vultures in general?” she asked the Flower Fairy.
“Rare A-class at most.”
The A-class wasn’t considered very strong. With that amount of resources, they could buy or recruit stronger troops.
Without hesitation, Su Wan allowed Xu Yuan to sell the corpses in exchange for resources. However, she urged him to sell them in batches to different Lords. She didn’t want to draw attention to herself. The fewer enemies, the better!
Su Wan was in a good mood as the number of resources in the territory increased.
The smog from the fire was swept away. Ever since she became a Lord, it was a constant battle to upgrade and maintain the territory.
She was in charge of everything. Sometimes it became overwhelming. Xu Yuan wasn’t much help most of the time.
Although the attack from the Venom Vultures had made her unhappy, the outcome was good.
Su Wan returned to the Dark Castle. The important thing for her was to recruit more troops. She needed to increase the population of the territory for the upgrade. She had used up about 20,000 units of resources.
Su Wan sighed. However, it was worth it. Her troops were stronger, especially the ones she had recruited. There were two troops she hadn’t counted yet. The 30 Rotten Cavalry which was led by Hogg and there were the Heavy Blade Warriors.
The lowest level of troop types she had were of A-class. They were also strong enough to withstand ordinary attacks.
Most Lords had B or C-class troop types. Rare A-class and S-class were difficult to obtain. Only top-tier Lords had them.
Most Lords fought to the death to get stronger troop types. It was almost impossible to get an S-class troop.
