Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs

After the earth dragon team left, Barr summoned the gnome elder.

The gnome elder also participated in this battle, and he was very brave.

As for the few gnome warriors that he brought, they were all unfortunately killed by the two-headed demon’s spiked club.

“Respected Lord Oracle!” The gnome elder respectfully prostrated in front of the Nightmare Green Dragon, Tyrell.

He had also obtained a large amount of ‘battle experience’ This was a special benefit after becoming Mike’s subordinate.

However, at this moment, the gnome elder firmly believed that this was the Lord’s favor, the Supreme Lord’s blessing and reward for his heroic battle.

Based on this, his respect and faith towards Mike had risen to a whole new level.

Tyrell said, “my Lord has sent a divine order, ordering you to quickly return to the tribe and gather the servants and warriors. Head to my Lord’s Dragon King Castle to resist the incoming Beast Tide!”

“Yes, Lord Oracle!”

“Praise the Supreme Lord!”

The goblin elder quickly got up and ran towards the valley.

At the same time, the gnome tribe in the underground world had also begun to gather. This was to prepare for the upcoming Beast Tide war. They had also received the oracle from their Lord.

It was also the command of the castle lord to gather his troops. The gnome also joined in.

When the gnome elder arrived near the third entrance. There were already a thousand gnomes lined up and swarmed out of the underground world.

“Elder, when do we go to guard the castle?”

“Set off immediately!”

“Yes!”

Instantly, the gnome battle team swarmed toward the Dragon King Castle a few kilometers away. They wanted to enter the main castle before the Beast Tide arrived.

On the other side, the dragon battle team also returned.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the sun shone brightly in the sky. However, the dark forest strangely fell silent. It seemed to be the prelude to the storm.

Finally, the roar of the monsters in the wild sounded again, like a war drum waking up the entire forest.

…

Dragon King Castle.

[Your troops have killed a tier 8 commander-level double-headed demon. Energy +300, energy stones +100!]

[Your unit has killed a tier 7 lord-level double-headed demon. Energy +1,000, energy stones+ 100, special blueprint +1, supreme-grade defensive equipment +1!]

[Your unit has killed a tier 5 elite double-headed demon. Energy +70, energy stones +20!]

[Your unit has destroyed the tribe heart of the double-headed demon tribe. Additional energy stones +100!]

[You have destroyed the twin-headed demon tribe!]

[Your Dragon King Castle’s influence and reputation in the endless continent has increased greatly!]

[Special reminder: The twin-headed demon tribe has increased their hatred towards your castle’s influence!]

Mike looked at the notifications that kept appearing.

His face was full of smiles. This battle with the twin-headed demon tribe.

The first battle was in the underground world. The dragon battle team and the gnome tribe had killed over 100 elite-level twin-headed demons and three commander-level twin-headed demons.

The second battle was in the two-headed demon tribe.

They had killed nearly 400 two-headed demons, one lord, five commanders, about 200 elites, and over 100 ordinary two-headed demons.

In addition, they had destroyed the two-headed demon’s tribal heart.

Mike estimated that he had obtained at least 1,000 energy stones from the two battles, and it might even be more.

In addition, he had obtained a blueprint after killing the two-headed demon chief, who was at the peak of the tier 8 realm. It was a huge harvest!

“Now, we just have to wait for the dragon battle team to return!”

“Other than the dragon battle team, the gnome tribe’s troops are also on their way.”

Mike stood on the balcony of the top floor of the castle. His gaze passed through the 5-meter-tall wall and looked at the dense forest outside.

In the dense forest, ancient trees shook, birds flew, and the roars of monsters were like war drums. In less than half an hour, the Beast Tide would arrive.

He took a look at the [world chat channel].

He found that more and more Castle Lords could not withstand the pressure of the Beast Tide and gave up their identity as Castle Lords to become Rangers.

Without the castle, they naturally did not have to resist the Beast Tide.

Many Rangers claimed in the world chat channel that they had escaped the disaster and were no longer restricted by the castle forces. They had gained their freedom and could decide their own fate.

Under their influence, the number of castellans who had become Rangers increased. The Rangers’group was growing in size, and it seemed to have the momentum to compete with the castle forces.

But were they really free? Not really.

Mike believed that the Rangers’ hard times would come soon.

The only thing they gained was that they avoided the beast tide and survived. The real cruelty was that it had not yet come to them.

This cruel and dangerous world would not be tolerant of the Rangers.

The future of Rangers would only be more dangerous than the Castle Lords. It would also be filled with death.

At the very least, the Castle Lord could still recruit soldiers. The Rangers were alone.

Compared to the Castle Lord, the fate of Rangers in the future would be doomed.

People who only cared about the present and did not care about the future would find it hard to survive in this cruel world.

Of course, Mike also expressed his understanding of their choice. After all, many of them really knew that they could not resist the Beast Tide, so they had no choice but to give up the identity of the Castle Lord and change to Ranger just to survive.

If it were Mike. If he knew that the castle would be turned into ruins under the attack of the Beast Tide, he might have made the same choice.

People were always afraid of death. As long as they could survive, what did it matter if the path they chose was more dangerous and cruel?

Only by living could there be hope!

Thinking about it, this was also the mentality of some people who chose to change their jobs to Rangers.

Mike glanced at the [space exchange].

Surprisingly, there were a large number of people selling food, wood, stones, and even refined iron and other materials.

And the things they exchanged for were all energy stones and strange crystals.

Obviously, these people were Rangers after class change. Without the castle, they did not need these materials anymore. They only needed a small amount of food to fill their stomachs.

They exchanged for energy stones and strange crystals in order to increase their own strength.

Absorbing the energy in the energy stones was one of the ways to advance in rank. For the native creatures of the Endless Continent, this was the main method of quick cultivation.

The reason why the Castle Lords use the energy stone to cultivate, there were three reasons.

First, the energy stone was an important resource for upgrading military buildings.

Second, the Castle Lord himself could use his troops to kill enemies to obtain energy, achieving the goal of advancing in rank quickly.

Thirdly, using energy stones to cultivate was very slow.

The Castle Lord did not fancy such a method of advancement.

Nw, Rangers had come. Their demand for energy stones was much higher than the Castle Lord. As for buying strange crystals…

These were the Rangers’ preparations for creating magical equipment in the future.

[If I had known that I was going to become a Ranger, I would not have upgraded my troops before. A hundred energy stones were wasted.]

[I regret it too!]

[Which Castle Lord is willing to sell energy stones? I will buy them at a high price!]

[I will use materials that are ten times higher than the market price to buy energy stones and crystals!]

[I beg for energy stones!]
