Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

Upon hearing the words "pale white bone bow," Luo Xuan's heart trembled.

He would never forget the first piece of lord equipment he acquired, which increased the physical attack of all his ranged units by five points.

Luo Xuan initially put the Pale Bone Bow in the gathering area for sale because he didn't have any ranged units.

Although the pale bone bow from the Xieling Sect might not be the one Luo Xuan consigned, the fact that it was inexplicably linked to this matter still bothered Luo Xuan.

"Besides the Pale Bone Bow, there were a few other pieces of equipment that I didn't see clearly, but they should probably be similar items that increase the damage of ranged units."

Ding Qisong concluded with his analysis.

"Your blood will not have been shed in vain. The Great Xia and the Two Elements Bureau will remember your sacrifices."

Zhao Wenjie spoke up, breaking the somewhat somber atmosphere in the group.

"Captain Zhao, are we just going to let this go like this?" Shen Ce asked.

"Don't worry, this matter is unlikely to be left like this. Director Jiang has personally contacted Shengmian, and we expect to hear back soon."

Zhao Wenjie reassured him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ce calmed down slightly.

Luo Xuan picked up the food that was at his feet and walked home.

Thinking of Ye Cheng's avatar that would never light up again in the group, Luo Xuan's steps inexplicably became somewhat heavy.

Luo Xuan never imagined that Ye Cheng, the strongest third-tier lord in the group, would fall so quietly during what seemed like an insignificant mission.

Ye Cheng fell on the road to protect the people and the city; he can be considered a hero.

However, Luo Xuan still felt a sense of suffocation.

A third-tier lord with unlimited potential may grow to the fifth or sixth tier or even higher in the future.

This powerful lord did not fall to the undead scourge in the game, but instead fell in reality.

"Damn the Xieling Cult!"

This was the first time Luo Xuan had felt such intense hatred and anger towards a real-world target.

In the following days, nothing major happened in reality.

The previous covert conflict between the Suzhou Liangyi Division and the Xieling Cult was tacitly suppressed by both sides and did not cause too much of a stir.

Although the thoughts of the Xieling Cult are unknown, the Liangyi Division is actively preparing for war, and undercurrents are beginning to stir.

In the game, Luo Xuan would take Lilith and Azathoth in turns every day to clear out the undead in the Falling Moon Mountains.

Zhou Fa also led his elite troops deep into the mountains, presumably having discovered a suspicious target.

After a few days of brief rest in Blackrock Territory, Blackrock Territory and Zhou Fa jointly sent troops to Falling Moon Territory to help Falling Moon Territory clear out the surrounding undead forces.

Luo Xuan took the initiative to participate in the operation and successfully established a friendly relationship with Sun Jing, the lord of Luoyue Territory.

At this point, Luo Xuan established friendly relations with both of the nearby human territories.

Although he has not yet been to Falling Moon Canyon, he has already formed a deep friendship with Centurion Zhou Fa.

In the past few days, the trenches and city walls that Luo Xuan had planned were finally completed thanks to the tireless work of the skeleton soldiers.

Luo Xuan inspected the trench and had the skeleton soldiers further adjust its depth and side walls before sending Azathoth to bring in water from the stream.

As the stream continued to flow in, it filled the moat, and a simple moat, like a jade belt, encircled the outer perimeter of Luo Xuan's territory.

Behind the moat are the newly completed, simple city walls.

The materials were soil and rocks dug out of the trench, and giant trees felled from the edge of the forest.

After cleaning the tree trunks, lay them horizontally on the ground and stack them layer by layer until they reach a sufficient height to form a simple wooden wall.

Then, by following the same method, a simple wooden wall was built using tree trunks.

Finally, the soil and stones excavated from the trenches were used to fill the sides of the wooden city wall, and after being compacted, the simple wall that is now in the territory was formed.

Because they are unrecognized "illegal buildings," the moat and city walls do not provide any attribute bonuses and can only be considered obstacles.

Even so, it is still much better than Luo Xuan's previous simple territory.

Currently, in addition to the Lord's Hall, Luo Xuan's territory also contains a King's Tomb.

Outside his territory, Luo Xuan also occupies a level-two timber resource point that is about to be upgraded to level three.

After seeing the territorial development of Blackstone Territory and Falling Moon Territory, and then looking back at his own territory, Luo Xuan felt he really couldn't bear to look at it.

If Luo Xuan's Tianxuan Territory were to face the onslaught of the undead army, it wouldn't last long at all.

Of course, Luo Xuan has only been in the game for a little over a month, so he shouldn't underestimate himself in the face of such a huge gap.

Face the gap between yourself and established forces, and then work hard to catch up.

Currently, due to limitations in leadership stats, Luo Xuan does not have a significant need for troop-specific buildings.

However, after witnessing firsthand the horrific scene of the undead siege, Luo Xuan became extremely eager for some defensive fortifications.

Because he had established contact with both Blackstone Territory and Falling Moon Territory, Luo Xuan had inquired about them separately.

Both of them do have some low-level, obsolete blueprints for defensive fortifications.

Although they were eliminated, they were more than enough for Luo Xuan.

However, in the end, it all comes back to money, or rather, resources.

Luo Xuan did not have enough leverage to make a deal with either of them.

Moreover, even if the blueprints are obtained through a trade, subsequent construction will require a large amount of resources.

Not to mention resource-intensive giants like the Mana-Absorbing Tower in Blackrock Territory.

These are all things that Luo Xuan cannot afford at present.

The most stable way to quickly acquire a large amount of resources is to occupy resource points.

Initially, resource points may not provide many resources, but as they are upgraded, their resource output will increase.

Moreover, resource points, unlike troop types, do not require command points and are "limited".

If you can hold a resource point, you can occupy it indefinitely.

Besides, there is another way to quickly obtain resources: destroying buildings.

Back then, Luo Xuan earned his first pot of gold by destroying the kobold camp.

They not only obtained a blueprint of the kobold camp, which they used to trade for mutated Cold Moon Fruit, but also acquired a large amount of resources.

However, regarding the second point, Luo Xuan's territory currently lacks even large groups of wild monsters; there are only occasional small groups of wild monsters spawning, let alone any monster camps.

If you really need to find a monster camp, the closest one should be the harpy's lair on the north cliff.

However, even if Luo Xuan could defeat the harpies over there, he couldn't destroy the camp.
