Zerg territory.
After returning to their territory, Su Bai and Guo Lao went to Colonel Wang's place immediately.
Fortunately, Abathur's biomass sustains life, and Uther, who guards this place, tirelessly cleanses with holy light every day.
Colonel Wang's vital signs were barely fading.
Infuse your spiritual energy into the Heart of Darkness, and the familiar dim light shines once more.
Dark, thread-like energy rose from the gruesome sword wound on Colonel Wang's chest.
The dark energy was drawn in by the operating Dark Heart and was quickly absorbed completely, entering the Dark Heart without any leakage.
Uther activated the skill [Holy Light Healing] again.
This time, the sword wound was no longer an obstacle and began to heal slowly in the soft light.
"Uh~"
Colonel Wang, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes.
"Colonel Wang!"
"Su Bai, what's wrong with me?"
"Zhenguo!"
"Uncle Guo, what are you doing here?"
A bewildered Wang Zhenguo propped himself up from the bed, his body limp, and patted his head.
"Wasn't I killed by the Dark Sword?"
Old Guo laughed heartily, grabbed Wang Zhenguo's hand, and couldn't help but sigh.
“Zhenguo, after you were seriously injured by the Dark Sword, it was Su Bai who risked his life to go to the Cursed Islands to find the Heart of Darkness to heal you.”
Colonel Wang fell silent, then sighed.
"Su Bai, how could you be so foolish? How could you put yourself in danger just to save me!"
“Colonel Wang, you saved me, so of course I have to save you. Besides, you are the one who helped me the most in the Land of Redemption.”
"I, Su Bai, can take risks, but I cannot be ungrateful."
Su Bai never hesitated for a moment.
"Good, good, good boy!" Old Guo said with satisfaction.
“I should go back to the military region. After this war, the United States, Japan, and South Korea should not be interested in you again for a while.”
Su Bai nodded, unless that old man William miraculously survives and recovers.
As for the other hostile lords, they are probably terrified, unaware of the inside story.
The three talked for a while longer, and then Su Bai personally escorted Elder Guo to the teleportation array.
After seeing Elder Guo off, Wang Zhenguo grieved for a while over the fallen soldiers of the Light Legion on the battlefield, and then led the surviving members of the Light Legion back to their territory.
With some free time, Su Bai began to sort through the spoils he had amassed from the battle on the Cursed Islands.
The biggest rewards are the souls and intermediate energy gems obtained after the dark creatures die, thanks to the blessing buff.
A total of 90 million souls and 80,000 mid-level energy gems.
Zhao Ganwu, Abathur, Kerrigan, Dehaka, and Broken Tooth have all leveled up by one.
The main reason is that they didn't participate much; it was mostly the dragon army that was fighting.
After Dehaka's upgrade, his body grew to a height of 14 meters.
When it got dark.
The worker bees and young worker bees, having finished their day's foraging task, returned to their territory.
After spending half the day counting Su Bai's battle gains, he immediately opened the resource page.
[Soul: 431.44 million??]
Timber: 408,000??
[Stone: 323,100??]
[Iron Blocks: 245,500??]
[Basic Energy Gem: 604,240]
[Intermediate Energy Gem: 190,000]
[Biomass: 723,100??]
"Upgrade your territory!"
Su Bai silently recited it in his mind.
[Timber - 200,000]
[Stone - 180,000]
[Iron Block - 180,000]
【Soul-30,000】
[Basic Energy Gem - 30,000]
A faint white light enveloped the territory.
Ten minutes later.
[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, your territory has been successfully upgraded!]
[Territory Level Reached Lv20]
[Territory area increased by 30,000 square meters]
Reputation increased by 80 points.
After letting out a long sigh of relief, the territory finally broke through to level 20.
This means that we can now use the remaining resources to upgrade other buildings within our territory.
It cost 200,000 wood, 140,000 stone, 150,000 iron blocks, and 120,000 low-level energy gems to upgrade the hatchery, main nest, and infected immigrant camp to level 20.
With resources nearly exhausted, Su Bai looked at the massive amount of souls and began recruiting soldiers.
The efficiency of a level 20 incubator has far surpassed that of a level 19 incubator.
It cost 170 million souls to recruit 520,000 springtails, 160,000 hydralisks, and 150,000 cockroaches.
Afterwards, another 150 million souls were spent to mutate 300,000 jumping insects into exploding insects.
With 100 million souls remaining, 100,000 cockroaches will mutate into destroyers.
A total of 1.3 million troops were added.
This completely made up for the losses suffered in the battle against McKesson.
Furthermore, things are different now. After the territory is upgraded, the quality of the recruited insect swarms is better, and their level has also been improved.
Even without relying on corpse explosion, it already possesses the strength to fight against a mid-tier legion of similar size.
After resting for a while and eating something, it was time to meet Kerrigan.
Psionic power needs to be practiced more. This skill, with its ever-changing attack methods, has an advantage that Corpse Explosion cannot match.
"Your skill is getting better and better. Perhaps soon you can try some advanced psionic techniques."
Kerrigan had high hopes for Su Bai's talent.
"Let's talk about it later. I don't dare to use my psionic powers casually right now, for fear of losing face if I fail."
Su Bai chuckled and continued practicing.
As night deepened, Su Bai bid farewell to Kerrigan.
Back in the small stone house within the territory, I lay down on the bed, exhausted.
After relaxing, scenes from the past two days came back to me.
If it weren't for Sloan's betrayal, there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns later on, right?
Su Bai couldn't help but think.
It seems that from now on, we need to be more cautious even with some of the lords of the Dragon Kingdom.
Sleepiness washed over him, and Su Bai closed his eyes.
The night passed quickly.
The sun breaks through the desolate wilderness of the north.
Barren desert.
This orc kingdom, which has been entrenched here for generations, is a sacred place for many orc tribes in the Land of Redemption.
This includes several orc tribes that have already perished in the desolate wilderness.
Inside the golden palace, the orc king, who was over fifty years old, sat on his throne.
The lion's face bore the arrogant arrogance of someone who had been through countless battles.
"Have the tribes in the desolate wilderness not yet come to pay tribute?"
"Your Majesty, those tribes were wiped out by a human lord who led his troops."
A burly, wolf-headed orc reported.
