Chapter 117: Conquered two more territories

While Chen Yu was arranging the Half-elf villagers, Qi Maosong and others, along with 120 Adventurers, went to the two Goblin Tribes.

They launched their final assault.

The Goblin Tribe on the right, having been ravaged by the Scarlet Queen, was in utter chaos at this moment.

Half of the Goblin Archers on the watchtowers had already been shot dead by Chen Yuxuan.

The remaining half, squatting on the watchtowers, were also trembling, fearing that in the next moment, they would be headshotted like their companions.

And their worries were indeed justified.

At this moment, in the jungle.

Several pairs of eyes had already fixed on them.

"Feifei, be my gun."

Chen Yuxuan said to Bai Feifei with a grin.

Due to her previous random groping, Chu Ruoxue refused to be her gun, so she could only set her sights on Bai Feifei.

Bai Feifei, who had no idea what was about to happen,

Readily agreed.

And transformed into an assault rifle.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao eagerly said to her best friend Wu Lanlan, "Lanlan, I want a gun like that too."

"......"

Wu Lanlan sighed deeply.

She also used the transformation card from the illustrated manual.

Not long after.

Five assault rifles were set up above the jungle canopy, firing single shots at the Goblin Archers on the watchtowers.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Gunshots continuously echoed above the jungle.

One Goblin after another fell to the ground.

Those who dared to shoot all had a certain understanding of marksmanship.

Otherwise, how could they dare to let others be their guns in such a situation?

Therefore, after just three volleys,

All the Goblins on the watchtowers had fallen.

Without the reconnaissance function of the watchtowers,

The other Adventurers used their A to Z series of small robot cards.

Transforming into small robots of different appearances.

Some flew with propellers.

Some ran on wheels.

Some burrowed underground.

Using various methods, they easily entered the Goblin Tribe.

By the time the Goblins in the tribe had just gathered, unaware of what had happened on the watchtowers,

Dozens of Adventurers suddenly appeared before them, catching them off guard.

The Goblin Tribe once again fell into chaos.

Five snipers outside continuously picked off Goblins, who kept falling to the ground.

The others, led by Li Ruoshu, also continuously slaughtered the remaining Goblins.

As is well known, Adventurers have two health bars.

One is their own health bar.

One is the health bar from card transformation.

One life could be used as two.

And because of their fearless nature, they were exceptionally fierce in combat.

They quickly killed all the Goblins inside.

After finally slaying the Giant Boar Knight, this territory was captured.

The Goblin Chieftain had intended to destroy the Guardian Stone, but it was too late.

Chen Yuxuan, with her black and white vision activated, headshotted him with one shot.

On the other side.

The team led by Qi Maosong also captured the other territory in a similar manner.

They remotely picked off the Archers.

Then transformed into small robots to pass through the fence.

They didn't even need to attack the city gates, easily entering inside.

They were completely like a special forces unit descending from the sky.

At this point,

The Half-elf village and the two nearby Goblin Tribes had fallen into Chen Yu's hands.

The Half-elf village was larger and could house three Dungeons.

The two Goblin Tribes could each house two.

This way,

Chen Yu could build seven more Dungeons.

Out of 120 Adventurers, only 50 remained alive; this was unavoidable, for although they had various means, the Goblin Tribes' combat power was not weak.

Unless they continuously used firearms for long-range targeted kills.

But that would be too wasteful of cards.

For the sake of economy,

Of course, they chose to fill it with lives.

Chen Yu did not send the remaining 50-plus Adventurers back; since they had come to be beasts of burden, they would be beasts of burden to the end.

Chen Yu sent them to the Liar Tavern area.

Along with several Contract Adventurer, to search that area.

To see if there were any other territories that could be taken down, to be used for building Liar Tavern in the future.

Regarding this,

The Adventurers had no complaints; they had already planned to stay for a full day, and besides, the more they did, the more contribution points they would be rewarded later.

They were even worried that Chen Yu wouldn't give them work.

In the current situation, they wanted to do quests, but there wasn't even an opportunity!

With Great Xia Nevernight City in existence, after so many days, Tidal Town had basically achieved universal basic sustenance.

Some Adventurers had even reached a comfortable standard of living, allowing their parents and elders in the countryside to enjoy better food.

They no longer had to eat those coarse steamed buns and rice porridge made from inferior rice and wheat every day.

Once basic sustenance was resolved,

Naturally, they would think about pursuing a better life.

And a better life would all depend on the existence of Great Xia Nevernight City; now, the only problem was too few territories. If there were enough territories, it wouldn't take long for Tidal Town to achieve universal comfortable living.

Therefore,

As for taking territories, the Adventurers of Tidal Town were not only not resistant, but quite excited.

Every time a territory was taken down,

It was equivalent to adding bricks and tiles to Tidal Town's comfortable life.

This was not just about personal gain, but also collective honor.

At the same time,

The Adventurers who returned to the real world also explained the function of Steel Fortress on the forum.

After this explanation, everyone immediately understood Lord Chen's painstaking efforts.

Knowing that grinding in the Steel Fortress Dungeon was adding firepower to Great Xia Nevernight City, the Adventurers of Tidal Town regained their spirits.

Even if they were sick of dying, and didn't want to die anymore,

They would still click in during their free time, becoming a member of the suicide squad.

And this was one of the hooks Chen Yu laid to increase the Adventurers' desire.

He knew that

The Adventurers' novelty would quickly disappear, and once the novelty was gone, the desire to grind would decrease.

To maintain the long-term operation of Steel Fortress, it must rely on happy coins rewards and the imparting of meaning.

He had to make the Adventurers feel that what they were doing was meaningful, that every charge was adding bricks and tiles to the development of Great Xia Nevernight City, and that if Great Xia Nevernight City developed, Tidal Town would also develop.

This way,

Even if they were somewhat resistant and couldn't get a single bit of food, the Adventurers would still enter the Dungeon to grind, just as they were now.

However, this kind of thing could not be said by Chen Yu himself; if he said it, the meaning would change again.

It had to be discovered by the Adventurers themselves, publicized by them on the forum; spontaneous actions were much more useful than forcibly imparted meaning.

Only then could the ultimate goal be achieved.

This was also why Chen Yu didn't mind everyone using a large number of firearms in this battle; they were all for them to see.

"This way, Steel Fortress won't have to worry about no one playing it, plus the free labor from Deep Sea Town..."

No, enthusiastic Adventurers! It shouldn't be a problem to farm a few rare-grade firearms.

It's best to put in a few more sniper rifles; from the current situation, the demand for sniper rifles seems to be greater."

After a brief thought,

Chen Yu made some minor optimizations to Steel Fortress.
