Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs Novel - Chapter 198
Chapter 198: A Great Gift for You!
“After the Dragon Castle has been upgraded, the special reminder is worth my attention.”
Mike looked at the notification.
The forest giant empire’s friendliness towards his Dragon Castle had increased, but this matter was not important.
The important thing was that the gnome kingdom’s hatred towards him had increased.
What would happen if it increased?
Would the gnome kingdom send an army of gnomes to attack him?
Mike felt that this was unlikely because he still ruled over the natural elf tribe.
Therefore, the gnome kingdom would not attack the Dragon Castle unless it was absolutely necessary. They could only watch and hate it to the point of gnashing their teeth.
This message only indicated that the gnome kingdom’s hatred towards him had increased, and not blacklisted him again. That was it.
Thinking of this.
“Ha!”
Mike could not help but laugh.
“A kingdom that only dares to secretly grit its teeth and hate me. Sooner or later, it will send a dragon to destroy your entire kingdom!”
“Right now, it’s still the Anti-dragon Alliance that I should be most concerned about.”
Mike looked around his Dragon Castle.
After the Dragon Castle was upgraded to an intermediate town, it became even more conspicuous in the forest.
The tall castle buildings could be seen even from two kilometers away.
When the Anti-dragon Alliance attacked him, Mike deduced that the other party would probably test him at the beginning. They would only attack him from four directions when they were sure that the Dragon Castle was no match for him.
“Encirclement is not the key.”
“With Sky City guarding the sky above the Dragon Castle, no matter how many Castle Lords of the Anti-dragon Alliance besiege it, I can easily turn them into dregs!”
“The rest I have to do well is to let the dragons pretend that they are no match for them!”
“When the Anti-dragon Alliance thinks that they can take them down, I will use Sky City to give them a big surprise!”
Mike revealed an excited expression.
The castle competition was already mainstream. No one would care about the life and death of the Castle Lords that had nothing to do with him.
Just like this time.
Once he failed, those Castle Lords would not feel any guilt at all. They would even stand on the ruins of the Dragon Castle and cheer.
All he would receive is death.
Therefore, he could not lose this battle, and he definitely would not lose!
At the same time, Mike had been looking forward to using Sky City to bombard all the Castle Lords of the Anti-dragon Alliance. He wanted to use this to establish his power and give a warning to all the Castle Lords who wanted to attack him.
The Dragon Castle was indeed the strongest castle force, and it was not easy to provoke!
Thinking of this, after returning to the castle, Mike opened the castle warehouse.
[Energy stone inventory: 11,435]
[Strange crystal inventory: 93]
“Upgrading the dragon nest from level 4 to level 5 requires 10,000 energy stones and 100 strange crystals!”
“I have enough energy stones now, but I still need seven more strange crystals to upgrade!”
Mike sighed helplessly.
He thought that he had gained a lot of energy stones in the past few days, which was already a great harvest.
However, he did not expect that other than energy stones, strange crystals were so hard to get!
Recently, Derek led the earth dragon team to conquer a large two-headed demon tribe, and they only got six.
Without a doubt, the strange crystals were definitely one of the most difficult resources for Mike to obtain from the Castle Lord’s forces.
However, looking at the dragon nest that was about to reach level 5, Mike could not wait any longer.
After thinking for a while, he opened the hyperspace trading channel.
After searching for the strange crystals, he discovered that there were still many Castle Lords selling strange crystals.
However, looking at the row after row of strange crystals, each of them was priced at 500 energy stones or more!
“This is too dark!”
Mike’s eyebrows twitched.
Moreover, even if he was willing to pay a lot of money to buy them for the sake of upgrading the dragon nest as soon as possible, he only had about 11,000 energy stones at the moment.
Once he bought six strange crystals, his energy stone inventory would be insufficient.
Mike was very distressed.
“Why don’t I go find a friend to borrow a few strange crystals?”
Mike muttered.
Usually, he was someone who did not have much to do and didn’t like to look for anyone to help.
However, this time, things were indeed a little unexpected.
Tonight was about to pass. If he could upgrade the dragon nest today, he could hatch another giant dragon tomorrow morning!
And if he could delay for a few more days until the strange crystals were gathered, the time lost would be enough for his newborn dragon to hunt creatures and harvest a lot of resources.
Compared to this, he really lost a lot.
Mike also knew that if he borrowed six strange crystals from Bella or Caroline on his friend list right now, he would be able to borrow them.
Both of them would happily lend it to him.
“However, I don’t want to interact with Bella that much!”
“It won’t be easy to repay this favor in the future!”
“Little loli’s words aren’t bad! After borrowing her crystals today, I’ll return them to her as soon as possible!”
Mike thought about it and still felt that little loli was better. Just as Mike opened his friends list and was about to send a message to little loli.
Late at night, a dragon’s roar that resounded through the sky suddenly came from outside the castle.
The dragon’s roar startled countless creatures in the forest as they fled.
“Dragon’s roar?”
Mike’s expression changed, and he immediately opened the watchtower.
He looked in the direction of the dragon’s roar and saw a sea of fire in the sky.
In the rea of fire, it seemed to reflect the heads of red dragons, and the sea of fire was the effect of these giant dragons flapping their wings.
“A group of fire dragons?”
Mike was a little surprised when he saw the group of fire dragons in the sky.
Why would such a group of fire dragons appear around the Dragon Castle?
However, in the next second, his expression changed, and he understood!
“So the leader is that king-tier fire dragon!”
“He’s gathering his friends from the dragon lair to attack my Dragon Castle together!”
“During the last Beast Tide battle, this king-tier fire dragon glared at me when he left. I still remember it!”
“I didn’t expect him to bring his teammates to me before I went to look for him!”
Mike said coldly.
When he first came to the Endless Continent, he still remembered the hatred between him and this king-tier fire dragon!
However, at that time, he could not do anything to him because of the newbie defensive barrier.
From then on, Mike had a feud with this king-tier fire dragon.
The king-tier fire dragon wanted to devour him, and he was determined to kill this king-tier fire dragon!
The current Dragon Castle was no longer the same as before, and he was no longer the same person who could only hide in the newbie defensive barrier.
At this moment, Mike’s expression changed from the initial coldness to shock, and then to ecstasy!
He suddenly felt that he was actually lucky today!
The strength of this group of fire dragons led by a king-tier fire dragon was all above the king-tier!
They just happened to fly over when his strange crystals were scarce. Was this not the strange crystals that delivered themselves to his doorstep!?
