Chapter 197: Strong Military Power, You Don’t Want to… (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

[Unit Characteristics]: Synergistic Charge (When fighting or charging together with the same unit, all attributes are increased by 50%).

[Split out!!]

With four purple-grade skills, a major transformation occurred!

A formidable unit born purely for slaughter.

Although its Tier was only 4-star, when their numbers multiplied, they could cause terrifying damage and threats.

Ancient cavalry, with dozens of them, could perhaps be resisted by infantry.

But if their numbers reached hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, their explosive combat power could destroy any enemy blocking their path on flat terrain.

However, the Lobster Riders’ battlefield was the vast ocean.

For now, let the Lobster Riders familiarize themselves with the New Moon Islands. When not on a mission, they would serve as a patrolling force.

With ten advanced crystals used up, only one crystal capable of advancing to Tier 5 remained.

After some consideration, Ji Chen decided to keep it for now. Since there was only one, currently, there was no unit worthy of using this advanced crystal.

So, when he acquires the desired unit in the future, it won’t be too late to use it.

The other new unit bought from King Kong Island this time, the Self-Detonating Water Spider, also had ten recruitment camps.

Since there were no more advanced crystals, and they could only be upgraded through the Military Talent tree, Ji Chen recruited all of them this week to save some resources.

One camp could recruit 35 units per week, and ten camps equaled 350 units.

With a similar appearance to a long-legged spider, they had an elliptical body about the size of a millstone and eight thin legs, each over one meter long.

Their body was covered by a layer of bone armor like a balloon, and through the gaps, one could see dozens of spheres crowded inside.

Once their body exploded, these spheres would fly in all directions like clustered bombs, causing a larger secondary explosion.

They were even more terrifying than human flesh bombs used in Syria.

As a large number of Self-Detonating Water Spiders floated on the sea surface with their legs, riding the waves, Ji Chen suddenly had a sense of deja vu.

Aren’t these like naval mines?

With their flat bodies lying on the water surface, they were hard to detect due to the waves.

When enemy ships approached, they could simply stick to the hull.

They are indeed useful!

Ji Chen casually opened the military talent tree.

He began to advance the ist-tier 3-star Self-Detonating Water Spiders.

“Consumption… Unlocking nodes…”

“Self-Detonating Water Spider (ist-tier 3-star) successfully advanced to Self-Detonating Water Spider (3rd-tier 3-star).”

After the advancement, their body did not change much, but the explosive power had undoubtedly increased exponentially.

However, as they were one-time consumables, Ji Chen didn’t want to experiment with their explosion power. After all, he would have plenty of opportunities to test it in the future.

It had been a while since the last unit talent upgrade.

As they faced stronger enemies, the Naga Warriors were no longer invincible and unstoppable.

During their battle with the Ruins Guardians, if it hadn’t been for the terrain advantage, the Naga Warriors would have been overwhelmed.

In order to deal with more challenging and dangerous difficulties in the future, it was imperative to upgrade them once again.

At their current level of development, as long as they didn’t require a large amount of rare resources like Mithril and Orichalcum, Ocean Crown could fully support the consumption of upgrading several units.

First, the Naga Warriors.

Likewise, Ji Chen recruited all the available Naga Warriors this week.

With ten Naga Warrior recruitment camps, a total of 140 were recruited.

Then, he upgraded them using the military talent tree.

“Naga Warrior (3rd-tier 5-star) successfully advanced to Naga Berserker (4th-tier 5-star).”

With a prompt, the Naga Warriors became the fifth 4th-tier unit in the territory.

Their scales became even tougher, shimmering with a metallic luster, and their bone blades became sharper and more resilient. Their strength and speed increased drastically, and their combat power multiplied several times over.

Next were the Pixies. Ji Chen didn’t hesitate and proceeded to recruit the Pure Water Sea Pixies in the same manner.

With seven Pure Water Sea Pixie recruitment camps, each having 21 units, a total of 147 were recruited.

“Pure Water Sea Pixie (3rd-tier 3-star) successfully advanced to Elemental Sea Pixie (4th-tier 3-star).”

The Dragon Blood Murlocs required Dragon Blood Crystals to advance again, so they couldn’t be upgraded this time.

With ten Dragon Blood Murloc recruitment camps, a total of 140 were recruited.

Next on the list were the Murloc Rangers.

“Murloc Ranger (2nd-tier 5-star) successfully advanced to Murloc Prowler (3rd-tier 5-star).”

With two camps, each having 28 units, a total of 56 were recruited.

Apart from these, Ji Chen didn’t have plans to continue upgrading other units for the time being.

He simply recruited the weekly output of those units.

After tallying the numbers, the quantity of each unit had significantly increased, as follows:

Naga Berserkers: 202 units, 4 th-tier 5-star.

Shallow Sea Murlocs: 207 units, 4th-tier 3-star.

Pure Water Sea Pixies: 224 units, 4th-tier 3-star.

Lobster Riders: 140 units, 4th-tier 1-star.

Murloc Prowlers: 266 units, 3rd-tier 5-star.

Self-Detonating Water Spiders: 350 units, 3rd-tier 3-star.

Elite Pirates: 270 units, 2nd-tier 4-star.

Deep Sea Roamers: 20 units, 4th-tier 1-star.

Tidal Sea Spirits: 3 units, 4th-tier 1-star.

Giant Octopuses: 10 units, 4th-tier 8-star.

A total of 1,692 units.

Ji Chen was in a great mood.

After hard work and cultivation, he finally obtained the desired harvest.

Although most of the resources obtained from the raid and gathering were consumed, in return, he now possessed a much stronger and powerful army.

It was a snowball effect, where gaining resources allowed him to exchange for a more formidable army, and with that army, he could acquire even more resources.

This cycle continued, constantly building on each other.

With a happy smile on his face, Ji Chen made passersby wonder if he had encountered something extraordinary..
