[Click to Recruit]

Recruiting a Deep Sea Roamer required 200 units of crystal, which could be considered expensive.

In terms of the same quant.i.ty of crystal, its value was at least ten times that of other resources.

A Lair of the Deep Sea Roamers could recruit 5 of them. With two lairs, it was 10 in total, requiring a total of 2000 units of crystal for that recruitment wave.

He was currently wealthy, with over 40,000 units of crystal, so that amount of crystal was naturally not a problem.

He proceeded to recruit all of them right away.

The three recruitment camps trembled slightly.

From the lair, which resembled a kobold’s den, dark figures slowly crawled out of the exit. They were units that were as ma.s.sive as a bus and had a lizard-like appearance.

With slightly elongated bodies, armor-like scales, strong and powerful limbs with sharp claws, and eyes the size of copper bells.

If one were to say that they were giant beasts used for a siege, there would be no sense of incongruity.

Ji Chen looked left and right and asked one of them to open its mouth, gazing into it.

Inside the gaping mouth, aside from the tongue and a narrow esophagus, there was a large cavity leading to the depths. A layer of membrane separated the mouth from the abdomen.

Curiously, Ji Chen walked inside, and the membrane slowly wriggled open, revealing the b.l.o.o.d.y s.p.a.ce inside.

It was unclear where the organs of the Deep Sea Roamers were located. The entire abdomen was almost empty, with enough s.p.a.ce to accommodate dozens of pirates. If they squeezed in, it could easily fit over a hundred pirates.

Even soldiers like the Naga Warriors, who had thick waists and broad shoulders, could fit several dozen inside.

The carrying capacity was astonis.h.i.+ng!

But it was unknown how they consumed resources.

Ji Chen thought about it, walked out, and took out five units of crystal.

When these Deep Sea Roamers saw the crystal, each one of them got excited and sprayed a jet of fluid.

Randomly, he had one of them swallow a crystal.

Instantly, its expression turned extremely content, estimating that it wouldn’t need to eat for the rest of the day.

After conducting individual experiments, he gradually gained a better understanding.

A Deep Sea Roamer required 5 units of crystal for daily consumption. With ten of them, it would be 50 units per day, and 350 units per week, equivalent to consuming half of the output of a miniature crystal mine for a week.

But it was still within his acceptable range.

Ji Chen waved his hand, instructing the Deep Sea Roamers to stay in the sea. Otherwise, with their weight, they would leave the territory full of pits and holes.

After seeing off these giants, he turned his gaze to another Tidal Sea Spirit Recruitment Camp.

Tidal Sea Spirits could only be recruited once a week, and each one required 500 units of crystal.

“Ding- Consuming 500 units of crystal, recruit Tidal Spirit x 1.”

As the voice fell, a deep blue ghost floated out slowly from the recruitment camp, silently suspended in mid-air.

On its deep blue body, a pair of pure white eyes were revealed.

Ji Chen was slightly surprised and pointed to the New Moon, which was moored on the sea’s surface.

In the next moment, the instructed Tidal Sea Spirit instantly flew out like an arrow released from a bow, directly pa.s.sing through the amazed gazes of the citizens, and flying towards the direction of the New Moon.

“My Lord, what is that?” asked Wilus, his face filled with astonishment.

“That is a Tidal Sea Spirit, a new unit of the territory. It can attach to the hull of a s.h.i.+p and control the vessel, greatly reducing the need for manpower,” Ji Chen explained briefly.

After his simple explanation, Wilus suddenly understood.

There was actually such a magical unit? It truly broadened his horizons.

Once successfully possessed, the appearance of the New Moon remained unchanged, but its internals underwent a qualitative change.

It could raise and lower sails, turn the rudder, adjust direction, and even operate the cannons on its own.

A huge s.h.i.+p only required a few dozen pirates to operate it effortlessly.

After recruiting the Tidal Sea Spirit and Deep Sea Roamers, Ji Chen s.h.i.+fted his attention to the other recruitment camps.

After two weeks, the recruitment camps had refreshed, acc.u.mulating a variety of recruitable units over the weeks.

Now, he could recruit all of these units at once.

28 Naga Warriors, 28 Shallow Sea Murlocs, 42 Sea Pixies, and 112 Murloc Rangers.

Including these, he now had:

62 Naga Warriors, Tier 3, 5-star.

There were 67 Shallow Sea Murlocs, Tier 3, 3-star.

77 Sea Pixies, Tier 3, 3-star.

210 Shallow Sea Murlocs, Tier 2, 5-star.

270 Elite Pirates Tier 2, 4-star.

10 Deep Sea Roamers, Tier 4,1-star.

I Tidal Sea Spirit, Tier 4,1-star.

A total of 697 units.

In terms of numbers, they had a strong army.

However, Ji Chen was not entirely satisfied.

If he hadn’t been to the mystic realm before, he might have thought that this number was already quite substantial.

But after experiencing being hunted down by thousands of Krieg soldiers, Blood Spirit Warriors, and hundreds of wars.h.i.+ps, he knew that this number was far from enough.

At least, the quant.i.ty of each main combat unit needed to exceed several hundred to form sufficient intimidation and combat power.

From the current perspective, there were two ways to quickly increase the number of units.

One had to find more recruitment cores of the same unit type.

With more recruitment camps, the number of recruitable units each week would increase.

The other way was through the unit talent tree.

When each unit’s talent tree was sufficiently developed, it would unlock a branch that increased the recruitable quant.i.ty.

The other was the military branch tree.

When the talent tree of each unit was lit up to a certain level, a branch that could increase the number of recruits could be unlocked..
