Chapter 3
The First Wave of Monster Siege

“Fuck!”

Su Ye cursed upon hearing the notification sound.

What the hell, a Tier 10 unit, a Dragon?

This damn...

Su Ye was so excited that he was speechless. Only those who had experienced the Lord Era knew what a Tier 10 unit meant.

For example, in the previous life, the strongest Lord of the Xia Kingdom, the lord of the “Dominate the World” territory, Zhang Tianya, his strongest unit was only Tier 9.

He had summoned it after spending countless resources and going through great lengths.

The Tier 9 Naga Sea Sprite, a serpentine creature with a human head, wielded a trident and could control the power of the sea.

It was incredibly powerful.

But the dragon Su Ye had just drawn was a Tier 10 unit, one tier higher than the Naga Sea Sprite.

Its terrifying power was beyond imagination!

As for the Dragon's Nest, its full name is Dragon Clan Nest, a special building used to summon and train the Tier 10 Dragon units.

There is also the Lord Resource Space, a feature available to every Lord.

It allows you to carry up to 10 million units of resources.

The Detect skill is used to observe the target's attributes. It is also a must-have skill for every Lord.

After using all three drawing opportunities, the roulette wheel in front of Su Ye disappeared.

Su Ye checked his territory information, as follows:

Territory: Star Domain

Lord: Su Ye

Alliance: None

Subordinate Territories: None

Level: 1 (Territory can be upgraded upon meeting the requirements)

Buildings: 0/10 (Building slots can be increased upon meeting the requirements or when the territory is upgraded)

Units: Dragon (Tier 10) (Unit template, training requires resources)

Population: 1/50 (Population limit can be increased when the territory level increases)

Lumber: 10.05 million

Stone: 10.05 million

Iron Ore: 10.05 million

Gold: 10.05 million

Food: 500

Currency: 0

An ordinary Level 1 territory. Each Lord will receive 50,000 resources and 500 food as initial resources after claiming their territory.

Su Ye had activated the SS-grade Resource Pack, which gave him an additional 10 million resources.

Now, it was time to use these resources to build up his territory.

As a Lord, Su Ye could systematically plan his territory.

“Let's start with a Dragon's Nest.”

As the words left his mouth, the system sprite's voice echoed in Su Ye's mind: “Building a Level 1 Dragon's Nest requires 8 million lumber, stone, iron ore, and gold.”

Su Ye was dumbfounded as he watched his resources plummet by a significant amount.

Just a Level 1 Dragon's Nest needed 8 million resources. It was worthy of a Tier 10 unit, damn, it was a money burner!

But it was understandable. In the Lord Era, income and expenditure were often proportional. The resources needed to train high-level units were simply terrifying.

With the god-level cooldown reduction of 99%, the Level 1 Dragon's Nest was completed in less than five minutes.

It was a rock cave, ten meters high and fifteen meters wide.

Su Ye snapped his fingers, walked to the Dragon's Nest, and checked the information.

【Dragon's Nest】

Tier: 10

Level: 1

Units: 0/10

Training Template: Flame Dragon

Training Cost: 2 million gold (without special conditions)

Training Time: 24 hours

Upgrade Requirements: 16 million lumber, stone, iron ore, and gold each, 48 hours.

Su Ye was speechless again. The Tier 10 unit was powerful, but its ability to burn money was top-notch.

Luckily, Su Ye had drawn the Resource Pack. Otherwise, even with the dragon template, he wouldn't be able to train it.

With no time to hesitate, Su Ye started training the dragon.

His total of 10.05 million gold instantly dwindled to 50,000, feeling like he had suddenly returned to poverty.

Training a dragon took twenty-four hours. Even with the 99% cooldown reduction, it would take almost fifteen minutes to complete.

While waiting, Su Ye began building other structures in his territory.

First, a Level 1 Lord's Hall, then a Level 1 Barracks.

“Building a Level 1 Lord's Hall requires 10,000 lumber, stone, iron ore, and gold.”

“Building a Level 1 Barracks requires 10,000 lumber, stone, iron ore, and gold.”

【Goblin Camp】

Tier: 1

Level: 1

Units: 0/10

Training Template: Goblin

Training Cost: 500 gold

Training Time: 1 minute

Upgrade Requirements: 50,000 lumber, stone, iron ore, and gold each

Without a second thought, Su Ye trained ten goblins.

They were little green-skinned dwarves with pointy ears, wielding a thorny club.

They croaked at Su Ye as soon as they saw him.

These creatures would obey Su Ye's commands 100%, their only drawback was that they couldn't communicate and were quite stupid, only following verbal commands.

Su Ye checked the goblin's attributes, as follows:

【Goblin】

Tier: 1

Level: 1

Loyalty: 100%

Health: 1000

Attack: 50

Defense: 100

Speed: 100

Food Consumption: 1 (This refers to the amount of food consumed every twenty-four hours. If there is not enough food, the goblin will rebel.)

Equipment: Bark Clothes, Thorny Club

Skills: None

Description: The Goblin Kingdom's weakest combat force, but in large numbers, they can still pose a considerable threat.

They may have poor stats, but they were the most commonly used units in the early game.

“Two of you go left, two go right, two go to the back, the rest go to the front.”

Su Ye gave the order, sending the ten goblins to different corners of his territory.

If Su Ye was right, the first wave of challenges for his territory construction should be arriving soon.

Upon initially building a territory, and after every level-up, Lords would face a wave of challenges.

This was commonly known as monster sieges.

If you survived, the territory upgrade would be complete. If you failed, the monsters would destroy your territory in a matter of minutes, and even the Lord himself would be in danger.

In the early stages of the Great Catastrophe in the previous life, many Lords had fallen to this first wave of challenges.

Just as he was contemplating this, a chaotic sound echoed from the open valley in front of the territory.

The sounds were dense, and getting closer. It seemed like they were rushing towards him at high speed.

Without a doubt, this was the first wave of the monster siege.

“Everyone gather at the front of the territory, prepare for battle!” Su Ye commanded.

The ten goblins scurried on their little legs from different parts of the territory, gathering at the front, forming a line.

By the light of the moon, Su Ye could finally see the scale of the attacking monsters.

At the forefront were green-skinned goblins, followed by goblins and even some elf archers.

There were hundreds of them.

Su Ye's face changed drastically upon seeing this.

“Damn, they’re going all out!”

The number of monsters in a siege was proportional to the strength of the territory.

Su Ye had already obtained the dragon template at the start, so the number of monsters in this first wave of sieges was several times greater than usual.

The monsters were getting closer. The ten goblin warriors croaked as they tried to retreat.

They were only the lowest tier fighters, even against strong enemies they would feel fear.

Seeing this, Su Ye was speechless. Could it be that he was going to be crushed before he even got started?

Just when the situation seemed hopeless, a strange cry came from behind Su Ye, from the direction of the Dragon's Nest.

It seemed like the Tier 10 dragon unit... had finished training!
