194: Negotiation, top castle

Rumble!

Accompanied by a deafening sound, the Earth also trembled.

On a city wall, Li Feng stood alone, looking at his castle with a hint of joy.

After consuming a massive amount of resources, the castle changed and expanded wildly at a visible speed.

A week had passed since he returned to his territory.

After a long period of negotiations and squabbling, the Taiyi Alliance finally redeemed Gerard and the others.

Of course, they also paid a huge price for it.

First, there were War Treasures. Wei Yan made an exorbitant demand, asking for 100 Tier 6 War Treasures right off the bat.

After a good deal of back-and-forth, the final requirement was reduced to 3 Tier 6 War Treasures.

Next were various resources. These resources, combined, were enough for Li Feng to upgrade his castle to a Divine Temple.

Of course, the premise was that Li Feng could obtain the Divine Temple blueprint.

At the same time, Wei Yan severely condemned the Taiyi Alliance, saying, “Your aggressive actions have caused heavy losses to Li Feng’s Troops, and you must compensate with one million Tier 7 Troops Recruitment Orders, or they can be replaced with Troops blueprints.”

Upon hearing these words, the high-ranking officials of the Taiyi Alliance responsible for negotiations almost overturned the table in anger.

Their two wars against Li Feng had both ended in utter defeat.

“Bullshit! We have the full video of the war here! It was clearly your side’s Li Feng who massacred our Taiyi Alliance, and his Troops suffered hardly any damage!” AKes, who was in charge of the negotiations, could no longer remain calm and cursed at Wei Yan.

“Damn it, you better get it straight! The war was started by you bunch of bastards! You are the aggressors! What do your severe losses have to do with me? Hurry up and compensate! Being loud doesn’t make you right!” Wei Yan was not to be outdone and also started cursing.

“Go to hell! Your terms are too unreasonable!”

“I’ll go to your grandpa’s! Do you want to fight me?”

“Go to your great-uncle’s! If you want to fight, then fight.”

“...”

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the accompanying personnel from both sides, the twoBig Bosss, who stood at the peak of mortals, pointed fingers at each other and cursed, seemingly ready to come to blows at any moment.

In the end, it was the Taiyi Alliance’s accompanying personnel who relayed the message back to a certain Alliance Leader, which finally brought an end to the cursing match.

AKes didn't know about Gerard's talent and only regarded him as a relatively important genius, so he was unwilling to compromise on many points.

But that Alliance Leader was aware of Gerard’s importance and had no choice but to let AKes concede a step. They finally compensated with three Tier 7 Troops blueprints and ten thousand Tier 7 Troops Recruitment Orders, which concluded the negotiation.

After receiving the compensation, Li Feng also killed Gerard and the others as promised.

This was the most time and effort-saving way to send them back; they would resurrect on Earth again.

After completing all this, Li Feng eagerly invested resources, upgrading his Intermediate Castle to a Top-tier Castle in one go.

Boom!

With the final loud bang, the castle's transformation was completely finished.

Compared to the Intermediate Castle, the Top-tier Castle's appearance had undergone Earth-shattering changes, and its footprint had expanded by more than several times!

Of course, these changes were just the most ordinary ones.

【Top-tier Castle】

Health: 160 million

Defense: 80000

Effect: With the castle as the core, an area of 1000 kilometers in radius is the territory. Within the territory, all units have all attributes +300%, health recovery speed +300%, and all building cooldowns within the territory -80%.

Materials required for upgrade: wood * 10 billion, stone * 10 billion, iron block * 10 billion, Mythical-grade resource * 10 thousand, Divine Temple blueprint * 1!

...A terrifying all-round improvement!

The territory range directly increased from 20 kilometers to 1000 kilometers, an area surge of 2500 times!

Furthermore, with the assistance of the War Tech Tree, Li Feng immediately discovered hundreds of territories within his own territory.

Only a small portion of these territories had been discovered by his Troops during their exploration.

Many more territories, this was his first time discovering them.

The placement on the Endless Continent was still based on the Lord's location in his hometown.

This meant that these hundreds of territories within his territory all belonged to Dragon Country Lords, almost all of whom were his classmates and schoolmates.

Regarding this, Li Feng recorded the locations of all their territories.

Now, this entire area was his territory.

These Lords were all developing within his territory.

Every resource they collected belonged to Li Feng.

Li Feng wouldn't go so far as to wipe them out, but he still had to collect some taxes, right?

If they cooperated, for the sake of classmates and schoolmates, everyone could live in peace and harmony.

If they were unwilling to pay taxes, they either left his territory or waited for his butcher's knife.

“Hmm, I’ll send out some teams later to invite them to my castle.”

Li Feng had an idea in mind and retracted his God’s-eye view.

At this moment, he was studying another function of the Top-tier Castle.

Or rather, this function was already available after upgrading to an Intermediate Castle, but Li Feng had never used it before.

That was the Gate of War!

Previously, the Taiyi Alliance had used the Gate of War to transport a large number of Troops over long distances to the vicinity of Li Feng’s territory, launching a large-scale attack.

The Endless Continent was vast and boundless; even two adjacent territories might be tens of kilometers apart.

If they were farther apart, it would be even more exaggerated.

Without the Gate of War, or a larger Void Teleportation Gate, it would truly be impossible to launch a large-scale Lord war.

An Intermediate Castle could build a Gate of War, but each one required him to invest resources, and at most, only one could be maintained at a time.

A High-tier Castle came with one Gate of War, requiring no resources. It could be built out of thin air by designating a coordinate, and three could be maintained at the same time.

A Top-tier Castle came with three Gates of War, and ten could be maintained at the same time.

“Generally speaking, the Gate of War is usually placed in important resource areas, not only for convenient resource collection but also for immediate protection. But I don't have any important resource areas right now. Should I just let them gather dust?”

Li Feng looked at the magnificent castle in front of him, secretly frowning...
