However, both are light infantry units.
Its defensive capabilities are somewhat weak, making it unsuitable for siege warfare.
Especially now, facing the triad of defenses consisting of city walls, elemental defense towers, and dwarven musketeers.
If an attack is launched, heavy casualties will be unavoidable.
"If there were a unit with strong defensive capabilities to take the lead in the front line, the siege would be much easier."
"When using exploding insects to launch an attack, you will also be attacked by elemental defense towers and dwarven musketeers during the charge."
"It not only wastes resources, but also causes unnecessary casualties."
"No! You absolutely mustn't get carried away!"
"The siege plan will be put on hold for now!"
Su Bai decided to postpone a full-scale attack.
He ordered the Queen of Blades to lead half of her forces to remain in place and closely monitor the actions of the Indian lord.
He returned to his territory first.
Continue upgrading your territory and recruit more Zerglings, Hydralisks, and Banelings.
On the city wall.
Hendrik, looking down at the swarm of insects besieging the city, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"The Dragon Kingdom lord is utterly arrogant! He dares to chase me to the outskirts of my territory."
"In the last encounter, I was slightly outmatched. Although I lost half of my troops, I was not seriously injured."
"As soon as I returned to my territory, I immediately started recruiting and increased the number of dwarven musketeers to 1,200. There is absolutely no pressure in defending the city."
"In addition, there are five-meter-high stone walls and eighty elemental defense towers."
"Dragon Kingdom people, if you dare to attack, all your troops will die on the way to the front!"
"And my territory will become your grave!"
Hendrik looked excited, anticipating the attack from the insect swarm outside the city.
Time passed second by second.
The swarm merely besieged the city, showing no sign of attacking.
This made him somewhat anxious.
"Damn it! If the Dragon Kingdom lord doesn't launch a direct attack, the dwarf army won't be able to break out! We must wait patiently and absolutely cannot be hasty!"
Hendrik turned around and shouted to the dwarven musketeers on the city wall: "Twenty-four-hour vigilance! Never let your guard down! If you see the insect swarm attacking the city, load and fire immediately, killing them on their way!"
Some of the dwarven musketeers whispered amongst themselves, discussing the matter:
“Previously, 1,800 dwarven warriors left the territory, but only 1,000 returned!”
"The lord is a coward who only cares about escaping, abandoning 800 of his dwarf brethren!"
"Such a lord has no courage or honor whatsoever!"
"My fallen compatriots, I will mourn for you!"
The dwarven berserkers and dwarven bear riders also began to be discussed.
Immediately afterwards, a synthesized voice from the system rang in Hendrik's ears.
[Note: Lord Hendrik, due to your abandonment of a large number of soldiers, all the dwarves in your territory are quite resentful of you, and your loyalty has decreased by 10 points!]
[Note: Please treat your dwarf soldiers well. If their loyalty continues to decline, it will lead to low morale, reduced combat effectiveness, and even desertion or defection!]
Hendrik was immediately enraged, his anger surging within him.
Damn it!
The dwarves in my territory are merely my subordinates, yet they dare to harbor resentment and complain to me.
Once we've dealt with the Dragon Kingdom lords outside, we must properly discipline these dwarves.
Anyone who disagrees will be killed.
They need to know that anyone who dares to complain about their lord will come to a bad end.
...
...
at the same time.
Su Bai has returned to his territory.
He glanced at the resource page.
【Soul: 646,860?】
Timber: 85,000
[Stones: 90, 100]
[Iron Blocks: 109,000?]
[Basic Energy Gem: 4060?]
[Biomass:]
"We've accumulated quite a bit of soul, biomass, and all sorts of resources!"
"Able to continue upgrading territory and buildings, and recruiting troops!"
Su Bai did not hesitate and chose to upgrade his territory.
【wood-】
【Stone-】
[Iron block -]
【Soul-5000】
[Basic Energy Gem - 4000]
The entire territory was shrouded in a hazy white light.
The territory began to expand.
The small stone house in the middle continues to increase in size, reaching about fifty square meters.
Five minutes later.
[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, your territory has been successfully upgraded!]
[Territory Level Reached Lv10]
[Territory area increased by 4,000 square meters]
Reputation increased by 80 points.
After the upgrade, the territory's area reaches square meters.
Reputation points reached 480.
"Basic Energy Gem inventory is low, only 60 left, not enough to upgrade buildings. This is still the most scarce resource right now!"
Su Bai muttered to himself.
He walked to the front of the hatchery, preparing to recruit soldiers.
Just then, a synthesized mechanical voice from the system sounded in my ear.
[Note: Congratulations to Lord Su Bai for breaking the all-time record in the Land of Redemption by raising his territory to Lv10 in the shortest time, triggering the special achievement "Leveling Maniac"!]
[Hint: To earn a special achievement reward, choose one of the three options below as your final reward!]
"Breaking the record again and triggering a special achievement, this feeling is absolutely wonderful!"
Su Bai's lips curled up, a smile appearing on his face.
Immediately afterwards, three lines of information popped up.
[Optional Reward 1: Soul]
[Optional Reward 2: Medium Resource Supply Box *3]
[Optional Reward 3: Hatchery opens self-recruitment, heavy armor unit - cockroach]
His eyes immediately fell on "Optional Reward Three".
"Great, it's a heavily armored unit!"
"I searched high and low without finding it, but then it came to me effortlessly!"
"The upcoming siege operations will be much easier if we have heavily armored units at the front!"
Su Bai looked excited, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.
The Soul and three medium-sized resource supply boxes are certainly very tempting.
But more importantly, the incubator can enable a completely new type of autonomous recruitment of troops.
Souls, wood, stone, and iron blocks—these resources can be obtained again even if they are completely depleted.
The types of troops that can be recruited independently by the hatchery are full of uncertainty.
Each additional unit that can be recruited independently will greatly benefit the long-term development of the territory.
If you miss this heavily armored unit, who knows when it will reappear.
With this thought in mind, Su Bai no longer hesitated and accepted the third optional reward.
[Note: Congratulations, Lord Su Bai! A new recruitable troop type has appeared. Please check it out!]
