Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs Novel - Chapter 47
Chapter 47: Cleaning up the Battlefield! The Harvest Was Bountiful!
Tyrell also led the earth dragon team to clean up the battlefield.
They collected the energy stones, strange crystals, and blueprints that dropped from the monsters in the field.
Mike had gained a lot from this battle.
Firstly, he had obtained a large number of energy stones.
Secondly, there were strange crystals and blueprints.
After all, there were nine commander-level monsters and more than 300 elite-level monsters that invaded the Dragon King Castle.
It was normal to have a bountiful harvest.
Before long, the spoils of war were handed over to Mike.
Mike’s breathing became rapid.
“It’s really a bumper harvest!”
It was around 9 am.
Mike stayed up all night and fought another big battle. He was really sleepy.
However, when he looked at the pile of spoils of war in front of him, his sleepiness and fatigue instantly disappeared without a trace.
The loot was divided into three categories.
Energy Stones, strange crystals, and blueprints.
As for equipment, not a single one could be found.
However, Mike was not disappointed, because he was already mentally prepared. Wild monsters had never dropped equipment before.
Only by killing local intelligent creatures in human form could equipment be dropped.
At this moment, Mike was excited and could not calm down.
This was because the rewards were too great!
Just the energy stones alone had dropped close to a thousand.
Energy stones were a necessary item to upgrade military buildings.
His dragon nest was currently level 3. To upgrade to Level 4, he needed 5,000 energy stones and 50 strange crystals.
In other words…
With just this battle, he was already one-fifth of his path of upgrading his dragon nest.
“I only stored 134 energy stones previously.”
“It’s still far from the number that came from the first battle.”
“It seems that war is only the fastest way to increase strength!”
“Just relying on this slow collection, the time required is too much!”
“Including the harvest this time, the energy stone storage has reached 1208.”
In an instant, he had taken a huge step forward.
Mike originally thought that it would take at least ten days to half a month for the dragon nest to level up to level four. However, from the looks of it now, the speed was beyond his imagination.
If there were another three or four battles of this scale in the castle, his energy stone reserves would be able to meet the requirements for the upgrade of the dragon’s nest.
“Other than the abundant harvest of energy stones, I got a lot of crystals!” Mike said.
“A whole 14 of them!”
He had 15 energy stones, including the one he had stored before.
To upgrade the dragon nest to level 4, he needed 50 energy stones.
He was not far from meeting the requirements.
But to be honest, Mike was not satisfied with the drop rate of energy stones.
After all, Tyrell had dropped energy stones when he killed the first elite-level monster.
In the battle of the castle guards, more than 300 elite-level monsters had participated in the battle. There were also nine tier 6 commander-level monsters in the field.
However, only 14 strange crystals had dropped.
It was not ideal.
Although strange crystals were rare items, the drop rate was low.
However, there should be more than 10 of them.
Could it be that the drop rate had decreased because Tyrell and the others had become stronger?
Mike could only think so.
Otherwise, there was no other explanation.
If the other Castle Lords knew that Mike still felt that there were too few strange crystals, they would probably jump up and hit him on the head.
After all, they were also facing attacks from monsters in the wild, so they might not be able to obtain so many strange crystals.
Strange crystals were really too rare. If they wanted to find strange crystals, they had to kill powerful monsters in the wild.
However, they were weak and could not beat them, so it was a little difficult to obtain strange crystals.
After obtaining more than ten strange crystals, he was still not satisfied.
Mike Thought for a moment and opened the friend list to contact little loli who was in the underground world.
Mike typed, [Lorraine, how many strange crystals did you get?]
Caroline replied, [Oh, let me count… Big Mike, Lorraine got a total of seven strange crystals!]
Mike let out a sigh of relief.
This meant that his luck was still online.
Just as he was about to turn off his friend’s message, he asked out of the blue, [on your side, how many elite and commander level monsters are participating in the battle?]
[A lot.]
Caroline replied, [there seem to be more than 20 elite level monsters and three commander level monsters. If it wasn’t for Uncle Xavier, Lin Lin’s castle wouldn’t have been able to withstand it. Big Mike, those monsters are too terrifying!!]
[It’s alright, it’s all over.]
[Rest early.]
Mike silently turned off his friend information.
He was silent for a long time.
In the end, the negative energy in the depths of his heart turned into a long sigh.
As expected, compared to the little loli in the underground world, even he had to stand aside.
His dragon team had killed so many elite-level and commander-level monsters. In the end, they had only obtained 14 strange crystals.
As for the little loli, she had killed less than one-tenth of the number of monsters in the wild, yet she had dropped as many as seven strange crystals.
The favored of the goddess of luck!
As expected of her reputation!
This luck was truly powerful beyond reason.
Mike did not ask the little loli how many blueprints she had dropped, afraid that he would receive a greater blow.
Why did he have to ask?
Great, now he was shocked.
It was really infuriating!
Mike had obtained three blueprints by himself.
If it was before, he would definitely be very happy and very satisfied.
But now…
Mike felt that his efforts were not proportional to his gains.
The other Castle Lords had only experienced dozens of elite-level monsters in the wild, and there were only one or two commander-level monsters.
There would definitely not be many wild monsters that were too powerful attacking the castles.
However, for him, there were more than 300 elite-level monsters.
There would definitely be very few Castle Lords who could safely survive this crisis.
Mike shook his head and stopped thinking.
Then, he picked up the three azure blueprints and appraised them one by one.
[Unknown blueprints found. Do you want to appraise?]
[Yes][No]
“Appraise!”
Three appraising lights appeared in a row and enveloped the three blueprints in his hand.
In a short while, the appraising lights disappeared.
The three blueprints revealed their original appearance.
…
[Low-level building blueprints: Folkhouse.]
[Usable times: 30.]
[Effects: slightly increase the loyalty of castle residents.]
[Construction requirements: 1,000 units of wood, 500 units of stones.]
…
[Intermediate building blueprint: Noble house.]
[Usable times: 5.]
[Effect 1: Increase the loyalty of castle residents.]
[Effect 2: Increases the chance of native intelligent creatures actively seeking refuge.]
[Construction requirements: 3,000 units of wood, 1,000 units of stone, 100 units of fine iron.]
