Within the castle.
Gale had just ended his conversation with Natalie.
During the conversation, Gale got to learn more about Natalie.
This little girl could say anything and everything to Gale.
If he hadn’t stopped her in time, they might have chatted for an entire day and night.
“What a tenacious little fellow.”
Gale murmured.
For a little girl to be able to persist until now, her mentality was not bad.
She was not afraid of the unfamiliar environment. Instead, she adapted to it quickly.
Gale lay on the mattress, ready for bed.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a loud noise came from outside the castle.
This sound forcefully pulled him out of his sleepy state.
Gale got dressed and ran out barefoot, not even bothering to put on his slippers.
When he arrived outside the castle…
He saw, outside the weak yellow light shield, that there was a gigantic monster!
To be precise, it was a dragon!
Its whole body was glowing red, as if it had crawled out of magma.
It attacked the protective circle again and again, but in the end, it only caused a ripple and did not have much effect.
“An adult dragon!”
Gale stared at the red dragon in the sky.
If not for the protection circle, this dragon alone was enough to destroy the entire castle!
At this moment, his battle units were still in their growth phases.
If he was to face this red dragon now, he would definitely lose!
Maybe even die!
At this moment, all the battle units that were guarding the Castle gathered when they heard the sound.
They all stared at the red dragon in the sky.
The Gold Dragon Elena revealed its dragon form, before flying directly to the sky, standing in line with the red dragon.
The two seemed to be having a conversation.
Before long, the red dragon took one last look at the castle, flapped its wings, and left.
Elena transformed back into her human form and landed in front of Gale. She spoke out,
“Master, this dragon was attracted by the castle.”
“I’ve just communicated with it. I’m afraid it will attempt to invade the castle again in the future!”
Hearing this, Gale frowned.
This was not good news.
Once the three days were up, if this guy made a comeback, it would definitely be a big problem!
As if sensing Gale’s emotions, Elena continued, “Master, you don’t have to worry. As long as I reach Tier 9, it won’t be my match. If I reach God Tier, I can kill it with only a thought!”
The other battle units also spoke out similar words, as though to reassure Gale..
The battle units that Gale summoned were all beyond the pinnacle of battle units!
Their growth potential could allow them to step into the fabled God Tier!
As for whether they could advance to God Tier in such a short period of time, Gale did not dare to have any extravagant hopes.
He could only hope that the battle units could advance to Tier 9 within this limited time.
Only then would he have the ability to fight against that dragon!
If all the soldiers advanced to Tier 9 together, killing this giant dragon was just a matter of time.
With this thought, Gale’s mood slowly brightened.
He was no longer as worried as before.
At least he saw some hope.
After arranging things for those who were in charge of guarding the Castle, Gale returned to his room to rest.
Before resting, he checked the content in the [World Chat].
Although it was in the middle of the night, the frequency of people posting was still very high.
The daily restrictions could not extinguish the fiery hearts of these Castle Lords.
At night, the topic would become related to monsters.
The general meaning was, do not leave the castle at night, or you will die a terrible death.
While such advice was given out….
In the end, there were still many fearless Castle Lords who continued to hunt monsters in the dark.
The result was obvious. Some of them had battle units that died and some got their battle units injured.
In fact, some Castle Lords almost lost their lives.
Among them, there were many ‘big shots’ who had pinnacle battle units.
In order to surpass Gale, they had also tried to kill monsters under the cover of the night to close the gap between themselves and Gale.
However, they had overlooked a problem.
At night, the monsters were three times more terrifying than during the day!
Sometimes even more!
Not to mention that their battle units had yet to fully mature. Going out to hunt monsters at night was equivalent to attempting suicide.
In the end, they did not get much resources, but even had their battle units sacrifice themselves.
In this regard, Gale’s actions were the most rational.
Once it was night time, he would shut himself in and not step out at all.
This was the safest way. There was no need to worry about the castle’s strength being damaged.
Of course, this approach was only limited to the protection period.
Once the protection period was over, not to mention the beast tide, the monsters at night would naturally come looking for them.
At that time, the casualties would be unimaginable!
The only way to solve this problem was to increase the strength of the castle!
Only with sufficient strength could one deal with all unknown dangers.
…
Time passed quickly.
When Gale opened his eyes, it was already dawn.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky.
Despite the noisy forest at night, it would turn completely quiet during the day.
The monsters that surrounded the protective circle last night had all dispersed and returned to the forest. They continued to hide and wait for the next night to arrive.
Of course, there were also many iron-headed monsters that remained not far away from the castle area.
These monsters were the primary targets that the Nightmare Team hunted every day.
Gale sat on the mattress as he browsed through the [Trading Channel].
All the goods on sale yesterday were sold.
It brought him a large amount of resources.
The auction gave him a total of 28,000 units of wood, 12,000 units of stone, and 500 units of pure iron.
From his sale of food: 4,000 units of wood, 1,800 units of stone.
In comparison, the profits brought by the auction were naturally more impressive.
Food prices were now set at a standard market price.
Unless it was a Castle Lord like Gale, who was extremely popular, they could only sell food at the standard market price.
Otherwise, they would face the problem of not being able to sell off their food.
Sometimes, fame was a very important thing.
There were still Castle Lords willing to buy Gale’s high-priced food, and a great deal of it was due to his fame.
They wished to get into his good books.
“Based on the current situation, I’m already considered a first generation wealthy man.”
Gale looked at the total amount of resources in the warehouse and praised himself.
He was indeed the richest person among all the Castle Lords.
He was also the person whose strength developed the fastest.
No one would refute this point.
Some Castle Lords had yet to even upgrade their castles to the highest level, not to mention promoting to a town.
At this moment, Gale was way ahead of all the Castle Lords!
Of course, this was not enough.
Gale’s goal was still very far away.
He wanted to leave all the Castle Lords behind!
To the point that no one could ever catch up to.
Only by doing so would he have the ability to dominate the Endless Lands.
After thinking for a while, Gale got out of bed.
After a simple wash, he ate the delicious breakfast prepared for him by his battle units.
