After the valley fell silent, Du You descended, prepared to lead his n away from this place.
Jia Jia Si approached carefully, suddenly knelt down and asked lowly, "My lord, may I ask whether your promise still stands?" He had no choice but to ask, as this was a matter of life and death for everyone.
However, having witnessed the strength of these n, they were also scared of angering Du You.
Among the slaves, so were perceptive and could tell that the beetles were likely the result of so kind of magic.
Descending, Du You spoke in a loud voice, "Every word I said holds. You only need to stay undercover here for two days and then you may leave. Head for Mountain Town, that’s my territory."
Du You’s words eased their worries significantly. He was, after all, a rather benevolent lord.
"As for the food, there’s still a lot left by the Sandpeople in the valley. You can gather it. Be careful of the swamps on the ground, don’t touch them." Those swamps were lethal to them.
His Carrion Dark Scarabs only ate at, not ordinary food. Even with the coverage of the Dark Swamp, there were still so stragglers that could be used to feed the slaves for a few days.
After he finished speaking, Du You led his n away from the place. The next part of the plan was about the remaining two tribes of Sandpeople.
Hidden Task: Exterminate the large Sand People Tribe completed, rewards include experience for territory upgrade.
As this task was completed under the na of the territory, experience needed for territory upgrade was awarded. As for the so-called hidden task, it was a temporary one. Du You sure enough saw a new chest erge in the aftermath.
"I wonder what’ll be inside this ti. This was a tribe of Sandpeople in the tens of thousands, and a very large one."
Du You opened the chest and the first thing that appeared were red Crystal Coins, about a thousand of them. Even though the number wasn’t high, it wasn’t insignificant either. Du You happily put them away, considering them as his exclusive Crystal Coins.
Next, Du You saw a blueprint inside.
"Perhaps tasks related to territory tend to reward territory buildings upon completion."
Sand Snake Pit Blueprint: Construct a Sand Snake Pit.
Function: Temporarily summons a large number of Sand Snakes when the territory is under attack. The number and level of the summoned Sand Snakes depends on the level of the territory and the Snake Nest. Sand Snakes exist for 24 hours, cooldown ti: 24 hours.
Surprisingly, this was not a structure for creating troops or pets, but a special defensive building. It only worked when the territory was under attack, which likely wouldn’t happen anyti soon.
But the ti constraint truly made him speechless. It existed for 24 hours, and the cooldown ti was also 24 hours. This was seamless integration, why not simply let them exist indefinitely? He couldn’t figure out what the use was.
Never mind, he decided to tuck it away, and have it built when he was back at his territory. The construction of the Sand Snake Pit was not difficult anyway, just required so Sand Snakes. There are quite a few Sand Snakes in the desert, just randomly catching a few would do.
The chest did not disappear. Du You continued rummaging. With a flash of light, a piece of clothing fell out.
Desert Ritual Robe: Defense 13, Magic Resistance 19, increase spell casting speed, enhances the power of spells, slightly boost magic recovery speed. Increases one’s speed by 13. (deep red)
A good armor item, finally he could replace his Hunting Dog Cloak. When it ca to equipnt, he really couldn’t compare with the people from powerful factions, his gear was always lacking.
After equipping the Desert Ritual Robe, Du You removed the Hunting Dog Cloak. The Hunting Dog Cloak, although only bright white, is of decent quality. After so thought, Du You handed the cloak to Lin Yushi.
"Here, you need to boost your defense, so it’s yours."
"Thank you, master." Lin Yushi happily took the cloak and wore it right away. The speed boost wasn’t much, only 8, but both defense and magic resistance increased by 10, making it a rather good piece of equipnt.
Leading his team back to their resting area, Du You began to open the orbs. Earlier it was boxes, now it was orbs that dropped. Even if he just considered the red Crystal Coins, he was already making a fortune.
He opened the orbs one by one, but it was a pity that there wasn’t much valuable stuff inside because they were obtained from the Quicksand Soldiers, so the dropped equipnt were also just a few knives and Quicksand Armor, without anything that he needed.
The surprise actually ca from the Quicksand Priest.
Ancestor Spirit: Summon the spirits of the ancestors to bind the enemies, causing them to receive increased damage. (Level 1, 5 star)
This was a status skill. He could transform it when he had a mont. Even though it wouldn’t significantly boost his power, it could make up for his shortcomings.
The last ti he levelled up, Du You could feel it. The more skills he had that suited him, the more beneficial it was for his level up.
This was why many people, even though they only used a few skills usually, but still have all the slots for their skills filled. Before one had advanced, it was hard to feel this.
Of course, Du You wouldn’t recklessly learn so skills just to level up himself, as that wouldn’t be beneficial.
After tidying up, Du You began to outline the next phase of the battle plan.
"Next, we will target this small tribe of a thousand n." Du You dared to refer to this as a small tribe, but in reality this was actually one of the bigger clans in the area.
Its strength might not be on par with the Dunes Territory, but the Dunes Territory most definitely wouldn’t dare to provoke such a tribe casually.
"When the ti cos, I will attack from here, sending out thirty n from the side to assist. We will herd these killers to the last tribe. That tribe has three thousand n, upon learning that their neighbour has been breached, they will not flee imdiately."
Addressing Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, Du You said, "The two of you will lead the other people around to block their retreat path, trying to trap all the people here and not letting anyone escape."
"But master, what if they don’t escape from this path?" Lin Yushi raised a differing opinion.
"For so many people to escape, they can basically only travel the few main roads, and this is the best route. In the desert, it’s very hard for individuals to survive, hence they won’t split up easily. If they really do escape through another path, then we’re simply out of luck." Du You shrugged. In that case, even he would be unable to do anything.
"The plan is this simple, and we follow it. Tomorrow morning, we all set off, intending to finish within two days."
To be honest, Du You was getting a little tired of the slowness of the Heavily Ard Warriors. The defenses of the Heavily Ard Warriors were strong and they were hard to deal with. However, their pace was too slow. They were great at defending the city, but lacking in offenses, he therefore needed to supplent his army.
