Early in the morning, Jiang Ming arrived at the recently occupied Lingtian area. To his dismay, he discovered a large pit spanning over ten meters in width, resulting in a loss of approximately one-fifth of the fruit trees cultivated by Zhao Si. Reflecting on this incident, Jiang Ming realized the importance of not underestimating the various races in this world, as each possesses its unique advantages. He acknowledged that even the slightest negligence can lead to dire consequences.
Thankfully, timely action was taken, and the territory still managed to produce a source crystal. Jiang Ming recognized that defending the edges of his territories alone was insufficient; every territory required equal attention. He resolved to rectify the situation promptly.
To address the threat posed by the Goblin tribe, Jiang Ming decided to mobilize his forces. He directly contacted Elsa, granting her the use of both the second and third barracks, along with the troops stationed within. With a total of three barracks now under their control, they could effectively deploy their soldiers. Jiang Ming allocated 3,000 Moon Elves and 3,000 Shining Wildebeests to Elsa. Meanwhile, the remaining 30 soldier points were utilized to train 30 Demon Fox Mages for Bai Yue. With Bai Yue's recent promotion to the Emperor rank, the Demon Fox Mages had also advanced to the eighth rank, proving to be a formidable force in blasting and group attacks.
Accompanied by their respective soldiers, Jiang Ming, Elsa, White Yue, and Shangguan Snow Shadow embarked on a mission to expand their territory linearly. Their primary objective was to locate the Goblin tribe and eliminate any surrounding enemies to ensure a smooth confrontation with the impending beast tide.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming returned to the castle, intending to open the treasure box that Bai Yue had signed in today. The box had been enhanced to a silver level due to Elsa's assistance. To his delight, Jiang Ming discovered that the box contained three scrolls of the Forbidden Spell at a nine-star rating. Recognizing the power of these spells, equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Saint-level hero, Jiang Ming eagerly accepted them.
On the other side, the three women diligently searched the west and east but found no trace of the Goblins. However, they stumbled upon a group of Earth Dragons in this direction. Bai Yue promptly informed Jiang Ming, seeking guidance on whether to proceed with the attack or continue searching for Goblins in other areas.
Upon observing the Earth Dragons through the map's field of vision, Jiang Ming deduced that their search for the Goblins had been in vain. He suggested postponing the Goblin hunt for the time being and focusing on the Earth Dragon group. Bai Yue provided additional information, highlighting the presence of high-quality Earth Dragons, including ten elite-level dragons and a ruling-level Giant Dragon King. Motivated by the prospect of acquiring valuable magic crystal resources, Jiang Ming sanctioned the attack on the Earth Dragon group.
Elsa rallied the Moon Elf Legion, deploying half of the Moon Elf Horse Archers to launch the assault. With 3,500 Moon Elves riding and shooting as the vanguard, a relentless barrage of arrows rained upon the Earth Dragon territory. The Moon Elves' arrows possessed a penetration bonus, significantly reducing the effectiveness of the Earth Dragons' sturdy defenses.
Enraged by the pain and bloodshed, the Earth Dragons retaliated, charging back towards Elsa's position. Elsa, mounted on the King Yaoguang Wildebeest, swiftly retreated while Shangguan Snow Shadow fearlessly charged ahead, engaging dozens of Earth Dragons single-handedly. With her cold iron long sword in hand, she struck down the elite Earth Dragon leading the charge, followed by several more victories over third and second-order Earth Dragons.
Excited by the success of their initial skirmish,
Jiang Ming and his forces prepared for further battles against the Earth Dragons.
