Chapter 391: The Six Major Troops, The Alarm Resounds

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Before officially proceeding with the upgrade, Ji Chen first used the Resurrection Altar to resurrect a large batch of troops that had died before.

This included the Naga Berserker and Dragon Blood Murlocs who had died during the trip to the Northern Continent, as well as the Murloc Rangers and Self-Detonating Water Spider which had perished in the defense against Ferode’s fleet.

Although the recruitment camps for the latter had been destroyed and could no longer expand in scale, the Resurrection Altar had the advantage of being able to resurrect a sufficient number of troops, and the resources consumed each time were fixed.

Therefore, resurrecting them together was not a problem.

Unfortunately, the Half-Orc Warrior, Lizardmen Warrior, and Ruins Guardian were not recruited from the recruitment camps and could not be resurrected using the altar.

After resurrecting these troops, Ji Chen proceeded to recruit the four troops that were about to be upgraded: the Naga Berserker, Dragon Blood Murlocs, and two others.

Currently, recruiting these units only demands regular resources, but once they are upgraded, it could necessitate rare resources.

After recruiting all the troops that had been accumulated for two weeks, he opened the military talent tree interface.

At the top of the interface, there were two new troop sub-pages.

He clicked on one to take a look.

To advance the Water Nymph Archer from Tier 2, 7 stars to Tier 5,1 star, required 210,000 ordinary resources and 40,000 rare resources, while advancing the Crab Guardians from Tier 2, 4 stars to Tier 5,1 star, required 200,000 ordinary resources and 45,000 rare resources.

Just these two troops alone required 410,000 ordinary resources and 85,000 rare resources.

Fortunately, the population of the Crown of the Ocean was now large, and the rate of resource collection was very fast. The ordinary resources had already filled the warehouses, numbering in the millions, and there was no need to worry at all.

Without a moment of hesitation.

Ji Chen directly upgraded them. With a burst of light, the recruitment camps of the two new troops became more magnificent and grand in the white light.

Then, he shifted his gaze from these twenty new troop recruitment camps to the recruitment camps of other troops.

After some consideration, he decided on four troops.

Naga Berserkers, Elemental Sea Pixies, Lobster Riders, and Dragon Blood Murlocs.

The reason was simple; these four troops were the main troops of the Crown of the Ocean. He had great confidence in their potential, and there were a sufficient number of recruitment camps for them, making it easier to expand their scale.

These four troops covered a meat shield in close combat, a spell-based ranged attack, a charge and breakthrough, and a mobile support role, forming a relatively complete combat system, with none being dispensable.

Setting aside distractions, he began the upgrades.

Consuming 260,000 ordinary resources and 50,000 rare resources, he upgraded the 4th Tier 5-star Naga Berserker to the 5th Tier 3-star, renaming it Naga Guardians.

Consuming 250,000 ordinary resources and 50,000 rare resources, he upgraded the 4th Tier 3-star Elemental Sea Pixies to the 5th Tier 2-star, renaming them Silver Sea Pixies.

Consuming 250,000 ordinary resources and 45,000 rare resources, he upgraded the 4th Tier 1-star Lobster Rider to the 5th Tier 1-star, renaming it Lobster Guardian Knight.

When it was time for the Dragon Blood Murlocs, Ji Chen took out the batch of Dragon Blood Crystals he had obtained from slaying the Marshland Dragon and chose to upgrade the Dragon Blood Murlocs on that talent tree.

Consuming 300,000 ordinary resources and 55,000 rare resources, he upgraded the 4th Tier 3-star Dragon Blood Murlocs to the 5th Tier 3-star, keeping their name as Dragon Blood Murlocs.

This wave of upgrades for the six troops cost a total of 1.47 million units of ordinary resources and 285,000 units of rare resources.

The resources in the Crown of the Ocean’s account had significantly decreased, with almost a third of the recently acquired rare resources disappearing.

However, no matter how he looked at it, the reduction in resources always left a sense of disappointment and regret.

But the results it brought were quite pleasing.

All six troops had become 5th Tier troops, with their strength increased by several times, if not more.

Their external appearance had also clearly become much more powerful.

The Naga Guardians had become even more robust and fierce. Its already massive body had expanded by two more layers, and its height had reached an imposing 2.5 meters, making it look like a small giant.

The bulge on the head of the Dragon Blood Murlocs was even more pronounced as if a pair of dragon horns would burst through the skin at any moment. The scales on their bodies had a more streamlined feel, naturally emitting a strange dragon aura.

Even their fellow troops couldn’t help but instinctively keep their distance from them—such was the power of their aura.

As their name suggested, the Silver Sea Pixies had several strands of silver on their skin, and their emanating magical fluctuations were even more turbulent…

The Lobster Guardian Riders donned heavy armor, and the four-meter-long lance in their hands seemed capable of tearing through any defense…

With greater power came higher recruitment costs.

Water Nymph Archers, 5th Tier 1-star, with recruitment of 14 per week, costing 900 units of rare resources per individual.

Crab Guardians, 5th Tier 1-star, with recruitment of 14 per week, costing 950 units of rare resources per individual.

Lobster Guardian Riders, 5th Tier 1-star, with recruitment of 14 per week, costing 1050 units of rare resources per individual.

Silver Sea Pixies, 5th Tier 2-star, with recruitment of 14 per week, costing 1200 units of rare resources per individual.

Naga Guardians, 5th Tier 3-star, with recruitment of 14 per week, costing 1250 units of rare resources per individual.

Dragon Blood Murlocs, 5th Tier 3-star, with recruitment of 14 per week, costing 1400 units of rare resources per individual.

Just like the Tyrant Azure Dragon, which was also a 5th-tier troop, recruiting these units now required rare resources.

Looking at the recruitment costs, even just recruiting these six troops per week… Ji Chen’s mind raced, and he finally arrived at a number that left him dumbfounded.

94,500 units of rare resources.

If you added the recruitment of three Tyrant Azure Dragons at 7,200 units each per week and one Tidal Sea Spirit at 500 units, the total cost for a normal recruitment wave would be 102,200 units of rare resources..
