Besides these two types of barracks, there were two more buildings: a [Shack] of E-grade and a [Wooden House] of D-grade.
The most significant gains were from the hundreds of [Arrow Towers] and [Catapults].
Unfortunately, neither of the defensive towers managed to unleash a single attack.
The mountain sprites were eliminated before they could even fire a shot at a single tower.
All of this was thanks to the attack of the [Plasma Nuke Tower], which completely stunned them.
He discovered a considerable amount of ore, which was all the ore from the entire mountain sprite tribe. The quantity was substantial.
The quality ranged from one-star to seven-star. Low-grade ores were the most abundant, with only a hundred units of seven-star ore.
High-quality ores were quite rare. He was content with obtaining an additional hundred units.
There were also many leather armors, which were sewn from monster hides.
As for weapons, they were all crafted by dwarves, though none of these dwarves were as exceptional as Jerry.
However, there were a good number of them.
When he informed them that his territory had many more dwarves, they were all very happy and hoped to see them.
Zhou Yan was naturally happy to let them see.
At the back of the entire tribe's mountain, there were many [Farmland] buildings. These were the most numerous, yielding over a thousand [Farmland] buildings.
Moreover, they were all planted with various crops, and several warehouses were filled with grain.
The mountain sprites had prepared their supplies quite adequately, but unfortunately, it all fell into Zhou Yan's hands.
As for other items, he was too lazy to calculate them, taking away everything useful.
When he reached the summit of this mountain, he found another building there. Upon seeing it, he was greatly surprised, and then became happy.
"I didn't expect to acquire this building!"
He was extremely pleased.
The building before him was none other than the [Altar].
Although every lord possessed an Altar, this building was peculiar; no treasure chest could yield it.
It could only be obtained from abandoned territories on the Lord's Continent or from a large tribe.
The appearance of an [Altar] in this mountain sprite tribe already astonished him.
After all, the [Bronze Sparrow Terrace] had evolved from the [Altar].
He was very curious to see what building this [Altar] would evolve into.
......
Finally, he came before a group of slaves and delivered a speech.
"Greetings, people of all races. I am the great leader who annihilated those mountain sprites, a respected human lord of immense power, wisdom, and handsomeness."
"Under my charismatic leadership, I led this invincible army to eradicate the mountain sprites who enslaved you with formidable means."
"Now, I offer you two paths: one, join us and become a member of my territory."
"The other is to bring you into my territory, provide you with food and lodging, and help us build the territory."
......
After listening, the enslaved races' eyes widened.
These two paths clearly led to only one choice.
However, they had been enslaved for too long and were covered in scars. Naturally, they feared being tortured in the same way.
Moreover, based on the situation, these people treated them much better than the mountain sprites.
Being enslaved by someone was still being enslaved.
At least, this person guaranteed them sufficient food, good living conditions, and even only required them to work eleven hours a day.
They didn't even need shackles or handcuffs.
And he said they were not slaves, but members of the territory.
This was far better than the mountain sprites' twenty-hour workdays, coupled with insufficient food, poor clothing, inadequate sleep, and frequent whippings.
These races were moved to tears. Many even felt that their arrival was too late.
Half of their companions had died due to the prolonged labor.
Seeing how moved these races were, Zhou Yan felt he was truly a great lord.
He was a great lord who had rescued countless slaves.
He always felt a glow behind him, divine and magnificent.
Well... alright, it turned out to be the artificial moon rising.
Because the sky had grown dim.
......
It took him two full days to clear everything here.
The harvest this time was extremely abundant. Not counting other items, he obtained over a million treasure chests alone.
Most of the monsters were eliminated by the [Plasma Nuke Tower].
This defense tower was like an exploit.
This was perfectly reasonable for a cheater like him.
The levels of these monsters were all above thirty, with the vast majority being over forty.
Therefore, the drop rate was quite good.
Most of them were Bronze Treasure Chests, with over a hundred thousand Silver Treasure Chests.
Gold Treasure Chests were fewer, only tens of thousands.
Dark Gold Treasure Chests also yielded several thousand.
He had not opened the treasure chests for now because the territory already had a large number of treasure chests, bringing the total of all qualities to over two million.
He would open them all together when he left this place.
The most crucial item in treasure chests was undoubtedly soul coins. Only by obtaining enough soul coins could soldiers' levels be increased.
As for other items, no matter how precious, they could still be bought with spirit coins.
But soul coins could only be obtained from treasure chests.
He arranged for a team to escort the 'pledged' races back to the territory first.
Then, the remaining over a thousand people headed to the next location.
It was a valley, quite well-hidden. If not for the intelligent reconnaissance drone, they wouldn't have found it.
Over a thousand people rode for several hours before arriving at the valley entrance.
The entrance to this valley was very narrow, accessible only on foot.
He first dispatched the intelligent reconnaissance drone to explore the environment and terrain within.
The group dismounted their horses, drew their weapons, and began to enter the valley.
The entrance to this valley was a slit-like crevice, a full kilometer long, like a passage split in a giant rock.
He opened the screen on his watch and saw, through the intelligent reconnaissance drone, a dense primeval forest teeming with many monsters.
The screen displayed numerous venomous snakes, ants, and spiders. These monsters were quite numerous.
He instructed his soldiers to be cautious, as many poisonous creatures within would ambush them. This was not a safe place, and they needed to be constantly vigilant against monster attacks.
After passing through the entrance, they ventured into the forest.
Before long, they encountered venomous snakes hidden in the trees. Each snake was as thick as an arm, and there were quite a number of them.
They were colorful and filled with potent venom.
However, the soldiers' strength was not weak, and having already known they were hidden, these snakes failed to bite a single soldier. All were slain, leaving behind many treasure chests.
These venomous snakes were only around level twenty-something, not very strong.
The soldiers divided into small teams, five people per team, ten teams forming a large group, and two large groups forming a squadron.
They formed a cordon and cleared the forest, primarily to kill monsters and obtain treasure chests, which was his most important objective on the Lord's Continent.
They advanced relentlessly, clearing their way from level twenty-something venomous snakes to level thirty-something venomous spiders.
