65 Regional Token! New Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent!
The remaining Sandmen were like headless flies when they fought without the Sandman Lord. They were wiped out by Nezario, Bai Yi, and the soldiers not long after.
Soon, a Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade Sandman leader and a Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade Sandman leader came in front of him. Then, under everyone’s surprised gazes, they knelt on one knee to Zhou Zhou and muttered in some language that Zhou Zhou could not understand.
Zhou Zhou looked at them.
He had used Incite Defection here, where he incited a total of 24 Sandmen to become loyal to him! They were only the only two that survived.
He used his mental perception and understood what they meant.
We swear loyalty to My Lord!
Zhou Zhou asked the two of them to follow the Blazing Sun Army and return to the territory.
A moment later.
Bai Yi came in front of him.
“I’ve something to report, my Lord!”
“We’ve explored the interior of the pyramid!”
“This pyramid should be the base of these Sandmen.”
“It’s divided into living quarters, noble quarters, resource storage rooms, Lord’s area, and so on.”
“We’ve discovered the territory token tablet in the Lord’s area.”
“We’ve also found a total of 10,000 units of wood, 15,000 units of stone, 6,000 units of fine sand, and 8,000 units of metal in the resource storage room!”
“In addition, we found 584 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores, 56 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores, and two White Silver-Tier Mist Cores!”
“Lastly, we also found a design blueprint for this pyramid.”
After Bai Yi finished speaking.
She took out a thick stack of paper and handed it to Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows, took it and realized that there were no text notifications.
Then, he flipped through the stack of blueprints again, but there was still no information about them.
“This looks like a hand-drawn blueprint for a self-built building.”
“This pyramid wasn’t built from blueprints.”
“It was built by these Sandmen from their memories.”
Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue in awe.
No wonder he felt a little strange when he first saw the pyramid.
It looked a little too crudely-made from the perspective of a blueprint building.
He understood now.
So it was a self-built building.
Then it was fine, actually it was built pretty well.
“Maybe they’re missing their old civilization.” Bai Yi said.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you so sentimental. Bring me to the territory tablet.” Zhou Zhou smiled and said.
“Yes, my Lord!” Bai Yi said respectfully.
The two of them passed through the battlefield and quickly walked into the pyramid surrounded by soldiers.
Zhou Zhou’s first impression was that it was spacious and cool as soon as he entered the pyramid.
Moreover, it was not dark here.
There were rows of torches on both sides of the road, illuminating the entire pyramid.
Under the illumination of the flames, there were ancient murals representing the Sandman civilization on the walls.
A tall Sandman whose face could not be seen clearly would often appear on it, accepting the worship of billions of Sandmen.
It was exactly the same as the statue on the Sandman’s Scepter.
Zhou Zhou guessed that this should be the Emperor of Sand.
“This place can actually be used as a barrack after I’m done with the novice lord test.” Zhou Zhou suddenly realized.
It was such a huge pyramid.
The environment was not bad either.
It was not a problem to accommodate about 10,000 soldiers.
Coincidentally, there was a shortage of residences in the territory, so he could get some soldiers to live here first.
A moment later, the two of them arrived at the Lord’s area.
The blueprint designated this place to be the Lord’s area, but the moment Zhou Zhou arrived, he could tell that this place had been modified to mimic the Lord’s courtyard.
His gaze landed on the territory tablet and on its durability.
It was a total of 100,000!
Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue and asked Bai Yi to shatter the stone tablet.
After Bai Yi received the order, she immediately drew her bow.
After shooting 10 Fire Vine Arrows at it, this territory token with 100,000 durability shattered with a bang, revealing two tokens.
One of the tokens emitted a rich bronze luster. It was a Territory Token!
The other token was slightly larger than the Territory Token and emitted a faint black iron luster. On the front was the word [Region], and on the back were the words [Blazing Sun Desert].
Zhou Zhou picked up the Territory Token first.
He realized that this was a Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Territory Token.
I can bring it back with me to upgrade my territory.
A smile appeared on Zhou Zhou’s face.
Then, he picked up the other token and looked at it.
A text notification appeared.
[Treasure Name: Regional Token]
[Area Name: Blazing Sun Desert (Changeable)]
[Regional Grade: Black Iron-Tier]
[Area area: About 523 square kilometers]
[Treasure Description: Regional Token of the Blazing Sun Desert. The Lord who possesses the Region Token and fuses it with the Territory Stone Tablet can become the Region Lord of the Blazing Sun Desert and obtain a Regional Exclusive Treasure Chest!]
“I’ll fuse it with my territory stone tablet when I return.”
“At that time, I will be able to completely control the entire Blazing Sun Desert!” Zhou Zhou thought.
Half an hour later.
All the Sandmen had Golden Corpse Water dripped on them and were loaded into the convoy with the loots. Then, they returned to Blazing Sun City with the Blazing Sun Army.
…
Everyone had just returned to Blazing Sun City.
Zhao Changshou was instructing everyone to build a wall.
“Greetings, my Lord!”
Everyone immediately said respectfully when they saw Zhou Zhou and the others return.
“My Lord, you won?” Zhao Changshou asked with a smile.
When the others heard this, their eyes lit up and they looked at him expectantly.
“This is the first battle of the Blazing Sun Army. There’s no reason to lose.”
“I’ll get someone to set up a public sign in the territory to tell everyone this news.”
“From today onwards! The Blazing Sun Desert belongs to our Blazing Sun City! In addition, I’ll get someone to paste a map of the Blazing Sun Desert on the public sign.”
“Therefore, from now on, everyone’s range of activity will not be limited to Blazing Sun City.” Zhou Zhou smiled.
Everyone immediately cheered when they heard that.
Blazing Sun City might be safe, but anyone would want to go out for a walk after staying here every day for a long time.
The Lord was indeed the Lord!
He could take down a Scarlet Lord just like that.
The subjects looked at Zhou Zhou with admiration.
Zhou Zhou looked at the notifications that their loyalty had increased.
He was deep in thought.
It seemed that as long as he did more deeds that convinced and revered his subjects, he could probably obtain the Peace And Prosperity reputation earlier.
After that, Zhou Zhou first extracted the loot from the Sandman’s corpse.
More than an hour later.
The loot extraction was complete.
During this battle…
Other than the Sandman Lord whose loot had already been extracted, they had also eliminated a total of 1,125 sandman monsters!
Among them, there were 652 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade, 313 Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade, 121 Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade, 27 Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade, nine Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade, and three Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade!
The loots of higher-level sandman monsters did not change much.
However, the number of its Mist Cores and sand crystals had increased!
Moreover, the grades of both the Sandification skill book and the Sand Summoning skill book would also increase.
Monsters above the Elite Sandman level would drop “Summoning Elite Sandman” and “Summoning Sandman Leader”!
The specific gains were as follows:
They obtained a total of 7,377 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores! 225 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores!
3,641kg of Black Iron-Tier Sand Crystal!
1,125 Sandification (Black Iron-Tier and Green Bronze-Tier)!
965 Sandman Summoning Books (Black Iron-Tier Elementary and Intermediate Grade)!
121 Sandman Summoning Elite (Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade)!
39 Sandman Summoning Books (Green Bronze-Tier Elementary, Intermediate and Advance Grade)!
Zhou Zhou put away the Mist Cores.
All the sand crystals obtained were handed to Zhao Changshou to build the wall.
As for these skill books, Zhou Zhou planned to include them in the military merit system so that the soldiers could exchange them for military merits.
A moment later.
In the living room of the Lord’s Courtyard.
Zhou Zhou looked at the 10 Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal fragments in front of him.
“Should I fuse it? Obtain another Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent?”
“Or should I save them up to upgrade the Incite Defection Talent in the future?”
He hesitated.
A moment later.
Zhou Zhou could not help but fuse.
No choice.
The Incite Defection had given him a huge surprise.
Wouldn’t he be making a killing if he could obtain another great Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent this time?
However, his expression immediately became a little complicated when he opened this Lord Talent column after he absorbed the newly fused Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Origin Divine Crystal.
[Lord Talent: 100% drop rate (Legendary-Tier), Gnome Alchemy Workshop (Green Bronze-Tier), Monster Ranch (White Silver-Tier), Incite Defection (Black Iron-Tier), Return To The City (Black Iron-Tier)]
…
[Lord Talent: Return To The City (Black Iron-Tier)]
[Return to the City: You can immediately return to your territory, no matter where you are, and recover 50% of your physical state in the next 10 seconds when you chant the designated password for 5 seconds.]
[Lord Talent Hint: This talent can only be activated once a day.]
…
Zhou Zhou: “Teleportation home, right?”
