Chapter 176 Conflicts Intensify

I have to say.

When Ji Yunshuang became gentle, she was like a completely different person. Lin You could not imagine that this was the princess of the Great Wilderness Kingdom that he knew.

"Do you like children?" he couldn't help asking.

"Yeah." Ji Yunshuang didn't look back, "Because children's minds are very pure, they won't be like us, thinking about how to scheme against others all day long."

"Uh...indeed."

Lin You was slightly startled and his expression became complicated.

Calculating against each other is probably the norm in this world.

Without thinking too much, he let the mother take her daughter away and continued to lead the team into the city, all the way to the reception hall to rest.

The reception hall at this time is no longer the same as it used to be. It had long been demolished and rebuilt into a magnificent building.

As soon as they sat down, Ji Yunshuang got down to business and started talking about congratulations, and even asked people to bring in a lot of things.

Lin You took a quick look and found that most of the resources were what remote places like Huangsha City lacked, as well as basic supplies for the people's food, clothing, and shelter. There was everything, and in huge quantities.

This just happened to solve the problem of the ever-increasing population in Huangsha City.

It seems that Ji Xinghe specifically considered the situation of his territory before choosing what to send.

"The king is thoughtful." Lin You couldn't help but express his gratitude.

Then he looked at Ji Yunshuang who was sitting opposite him and said, "I see you guys were teleported here using a teleportation array. That should have consumed quite a bit of energy, right?"

"Of course. A long-distance teleportation array like this consumes a lot of magic energy each time it is teleported, so it is rarely used." Ji Yunshuang said, taking a sip of tea.

After going through this journey, she gradually regained her former calmness.

Lin You didn't care, but asked in surprise: "Could it be that the royal family is also short of magic power?"

He thought that since the king was in charge of such a large country, he should not be short of magical power. But now it seems that is not the case?

"Why can't the royal family be short of magic power?" Ji Yunshuang glanced at Lin You and slowly put down the teacup. "Cities have city expenses, and duchies have duchies' expenses. In addition, we have to reward subordinates and maintain various places, which are all huge expenses."

"That's true." Lin You nodded silently.

"And you should also know that my father returned from the last battle in the Ten Thousand Worlds with severe injuries. He suffered heavy losses in his troops, so it will definitely take a lot of resources to recruit them again."

"Tenth-order troops?" Lin You's eyes moved slightly.

"Yes." Ji Yunshuang's expression gradually became serious. "Recruiting a rank 10 soldier is not as simple as you think. Just recruiting one will cost several million mana. Ten will cost tens of millions, not to mention other resources."

"so much!?"

Lin You was shocked.

Although he guessed that recruiting high-level soldiers would require a lot of magic power, he did not expect it to reach such a terrifying level.

Just one of them requires millions of magic energy, which is really too terrifying.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Yunshang continue to say: "Why? Don't you know?"

"After crossing the watershed of Tier 6, the resources required to recruit soldiers will increase tenfold with each level up, including upgrading soldiers. This is why many of us choose to stay at Tier 6 for the time being."

"Well"

This time, Lin You really couldn't hold it anymore.

Each time you level up, the magic power will increase tenfold? Doesn't that mean that recruiting a seventh-level soldier requires 2,500 mana?

Taking mutations into account, he would need to spend 5,000 mana to recruit one type of soldier.

This is the case when the mutation is successful!

If a type of soldier that you don't want mutates or fails to inherit the skills you want, the number will be even greater!

And it's not just that the recruitment resources will increase, the resources required to upgrade the troops will also increase.

That means the territory's elite will too! "It seems like you really haven't heard of this."

Seeing Lin You's reaction, Ji Yunshuang finally confirmed her guess.

"But it's true. Before the sixth level, it can basically be considered as just starting out, and the resources required are indeed not many."

"But things are different after level 7. Upgrading your troops will consume more and more territory essence, so the higher your level, the less likely it is that there will be troops of higher levels around you."

"This is also the main reason why those eighth-level lords only have one or two ninth-level soldiers. In a sense, this is actually forcing us lords to kill each other and collect more territory essence."

"So that's it." Lin You suddenly realized after hearing this.

No wonder he had seen high-level lords in the main city before, and there were few soldiers around them who were higher than their level. So this is the case.

That's what it looks like.

The territory essence required to upgrade a seventh-level soldier to the eighth level is not just one, but ten! In other words, ten seventh-level lords must be killed!

In an instant, he suddenly felt the deep malice from this world, as if there really was a pair of big hands forcing them to kill each other and force them to fight for their realms.

But it's okay this way.

It is better to know the news in advance than to be completely in the dark, so he can prepare for the next plan.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lin You didn't expect this.

After this conversation, I was able to gain so much important information. She really is worthy of being the princess of the Great Wilderness Kingdom. Her knowledge is indeed much greater than that of these grassroots lords.

So he didn't rush to deal with other things, but stayed in the hall and continued chatting with Ji Yunshuang.

Until almost noon.

After completing the mission, Ji Yunshuang left with her guard of honor and disappeared into Lin You's territory in a burst of teleporting light rising into the sky.

"It's time to go to the main city for a stroll."

Looking at the teleportation light gradually dissipating in front of him, Lin You murmured softly.

He now only has two seventh-level territory essences. If he wants to upgrade his troops to the eighth level, he needs to get eight more.

This is indeed extremely difficult for a sixth-level lord.

But for the upcoming battlefield of all worlds, we still have to give it a try.

Make up your mind.

He left the inner city and found Xue Changgui.

After explaining some things to Xue Changgui, he hurried back to the territory.

Before entering the teleportation array, he took out a piece of dark golden soft armor emitting a faint light from his personal space.

This is the eighth-level equipment that Magnu made for him using golden silk a few days ago.

Inheriting the exquisite craftsmanship of the dwarf craftsmen, it has extremely good defense and can even withstand Lingxi's attack without any damage.

Moreover, McGurn had promised him that he could at least block two attacks from the eighth level.

It is much better than expected and is perfect for saving lives, especially on the border battlefield where crises are rife.

Without hesitation, he quickly put on the chain mail and stepped into the teleportation array.

Swish! With a turn of his sight, he appeared again on the teleportation square of the main city of Angel Wings, and the familiar surrounding environment also came into view.

"Hurry, hurry! I heard that a fight has already started in the neutral zone, let's go there quickly!"

"What? A fight broke out? Is it with Yuanshajie?"

"Yes, haven't they been fighting over territory and gathering many lords? I don't know why they suddenly started fighting today."

"It is said that the prince of the Cang Yue Empire was ambushed by people from the Yuansha Realm, so he led people to seek revenge. As a result, more and more lords appeared, and it was about to turn into a war."

"Fuck! So exciting? Then let's go over there quickly and see if we can get some bargains."
