I'm building the perfect territory in the mist.

Chapter 52: Flatten the Blackwater River, Conquer the Naga Women!

After counting his troops, Shen Xing was about to exit the game when he suddenly felt something move in the bag at his waist.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same black river clam I had picked up that afternoon.

I held it up in front of me and examined it carefully. It looked ordinary and had nothing special about it.

"Forget it, let's just keep it in a bucket. We can open it whenever we feel like it."

Shen Xing went to the well, had an orc draw a bucket of water, and then casually tossed a river clam into the bucket.

I took off my glasses and my gaze returned to the rented room.

After a busy day, Lord Shen stretched and decided to reward himself, so he opened a pornographic app that offered in-home services.

I spent ages browsing inside before finally ordering a milk tea.

More than half an hour later.

Shen Xing, holding a milk tea in one hand, sat in his wheelchair gazing at the night view outside the window, which had a unique charm.

Just then, my phone vibrated slightly in my pocket, and a text message came through.

Zhou Zheng: "The Misty Sky Realm will open in a couple of days, so please get ready."

Upon seeing the message, Shen Xing almost spilled the milk tea in her hand.

Several messages also flashed through the discussion group at this time.

User "Loves Cilantro": "Holy crap, did you all see Zhou Zheng's message? The secret realm opens in a couple of days!"

I kept eating and said, "I saw it. Wasn't it supposed to be half a month? How come it's so fast?"

"I don't know! This is so unfair to us! We've only been playing for half a month!" (User: Cilantro Lover)

After her initial surprise, Shen Xing quickly came to her senses: "Something must have happened at Mingyue Bay Park."

"Didn't Zhou Zheng say last time that the global concentration of fog energy is rising, which is causing the secret realm to take shape at an accelerated pace?"

The other two people in the discussion group were silent for a moment, probably because they went to look up information on the forum.

A moment later, Aiwan Cilantro replied, "Just as Shen Xing said, that secret realm has taken shape ahead of schedule."

"Are you confident? There are so many experts this time, and we only have a short time in the game. We're at a huge disadvantage."

I ate casually and said, "What's with all this talk about being confident? You're really planning to compete with them for rankings?"

"It's good enough to have a spot. Go in and try your luck. It would be best if you could get some materials or treasures, but if you can't, it's not a big loss."

After a moment of silence, Aiwan Cilantro replied, "That's true. Let's just collect the rewards; competing for rankings is for the big shots."

"I heard that the strongest group of talented players each have two or three elite three-star players under their command. The gap is too big."

Shen Xing watched their discussion, seemingly lost in thought.

Even the strongest group of geniuses only have two or three elite three-star subordinates?

With those four or five elite three-star units in my territory, and Hellroar who is about to break through to the boss level, wouldn't I be able to sweep everything aside?

Aiwanxiangcai tagged Shen Xing again, comforting him: "Shen Xing, don't be discouraged. It's normal that we weren't well prepared this time and couldn't get a ranking. We'll try harder next time."

Qin Lang thought he was discouraged when he saw that he didn't speak.

Shen Xing looked at him strangely and replied, "You're right, we can just accept the reward as a scoundrel."

"Those experts have so many elite three-star players, it's terrifying. We are no match for them at all."

Qin Lang sent several approving emojis.

Next, Shen Xing logged into the Pioneer Forum, opened the local section, and sure enough, saw that there were quite a few posts from players.

They were all complaining that the opening of this secret realm was too sudden, and they weren't prepared at all.

Seeing that everyone was in the same boat, Shen Xing felt relieved.

After finishing my milk tea, I lay back down on the bed and had a wonderful sleep.

The next day.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Shen Xing went online on time.

There haven't been any changes to the territory today.

After all, he had been focused on grinding monsters to earn soul stones and wholeheartedly improving his troops' strength these past few days, so territory development had to be temporarily put on hold.

"My lord, there is something I need to report to you."

Hellscream approached with a serious expression and cut to the chase: "We're almost out of food in our warehouse."

"Are you almost out of food?"

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and wasn't too surprised.

After all, the territory has recently seen a significant increase in population.

The skeleton archers and lesser demons were alright; they could maintain their daily activities by feeding them some afterglow or shattered soul fragments.

But these dozens of orcs are all super gluttons, each eating three times the amount of a normal person.

In addition, the more than twenty slave laborers in the logging camp and quarry also consumed a lot of food every day.

The supplies obtained from exploratory expeditions were far from enough to cover their expenses.

"How many more days can we hold on?"

"About five days."

Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I understand. I'll take care of the food problem. Go and prepare it, and come out with me in a bit."

"Yes."

Hellroar responded and quickly headed to the village entrance to prepare.

"Five days... that should be enough time."

Shen Xing gazed thoughtfully at the resources in his territory: "After we deal with that Dark Naga, we can conquer the Silver Sanctuary and obtain a good amount of food."

At the same time, the phone in my pocket vibrated slightly again; Xia Wanyin had sent another message.

He put on her glasses and said, "Shen Xing, I'm ready. Are you online?"

Shen Xing replied, "I'm online. Bring your people over."

"it is good."

Next, Shen Xing stayed in his territory, waiting for Xia Wanyin to come and join him.

A dozen minutes later, a cluster of white dots rapidly approached on the minimap.

When Xia Wanyin arrived at the territory, Shen Xing stared blankly at the troop formation behind her.

Leading the way were a group of light elf swordsmen wielding longswords and burly light elf shield guards, numbering no less than thirty.

Each light sprite is at least level 5, radiating intense light power, like a moving light bulb.

What surprised him even more was the number of light elf archers surrounding Xia Wanyin; there were no fewer than twenty of them, and more than half of them were elite.

In total, she brought more than fifty different types of troops, with elite units making up a third of them.

The sheer quality of this team is self-evident.

"These... are your main forces?" Shen Xing murmured.

"Yes, I spent a lot of resources to cultivate this!" Xia Wanyin said with a hint of pride.

Shen Xing glanced at her: "You brought so many troops with you, what about the territory?"

"I left a small force in the territory, so the defense should be fine." Xia Wanyin still had a gentle smile on her face.

A little bit?

It's probably just a tiny bit.

Shen Xing realized that this woman probably had a powerful background in real life, or was even very wealthy.

After all, it involved spending tens of thousands of dollars on a single scroll and cultivating so many elite light spirits; the resources spent were simply unimaginable.

Could it be... that the rich woman is right next to me?

"Rich woman... no, Wan Yin, let's prepare to move in."

Shen Xing said no more. Although the strength of the troops she brought was somewhat beyond expectations, this made her chances of success even greater.

"Okay." Xia Wanyin nodded, looking eager to try.

Next, Shen Xing began selecting the types of soldiers for this operation.

Ultimately, he decided to bring all eleven lesser demons with him to form a bombing squad.

In addition, ten skeleton archers will provide ranged support, and twenty orcs will serve as the vanguard.

This includes two powerful generals, Hellscream and Gorehowl.

Within the territory, there are two elite three-star warriors, Roar and Black Arrow, along with a dozen orcs and skeleton archers, more than enough for defense.

Next, Shen Xing spent another 20 soul stones and black crystals to upgrade the lantern to level 4.

【lantern】

[Level: 4]

[Effect: Dispels fog within a 50-meter radius and provides illumination]

[Continuous burning time: 4 hours]

[Upgrade Requirements: Level 5 Campfire, 40 Soul Stones, 40 Black Crystals]

...

The illumination range of the level 4 lantern has increased dramatically to a diameter of 100 meters, and the exploration time has also been extended to 4 hours.

This will give us more room to maneuver during combat.

At this moment, Shen Xing was followed by forty-three combat units, each one of them exuding a fierce aura and high fighting spirit!

Xia Wanyin was surrounded by nearly fifty light spirits, whose natural light aura illuminated an area of ​​more than ten meters in radius.

"Set off!"

Shen Xing raised his arm and shouted, "Crush the Blackwater River and conquer the Naga women!"

"waaaaagh!!"

The group of nearly ninety people marched into the mist and headed straight for the Blackwater River.
