Chapter 199 The World on the Cloud

Soldiers in gray military uniforms walked through the portal and stepped on the soft and crisp grass. Ji Lin looked at this vast world above the clouds. There were green fields like the territory, lush green trees, and flowing rivers. Within his sight, he could see several special plants swaying on the plains.

Not far away, there was a large dark green shadow hidden behind the clouds, suspended above the clouds. It was the same world on the clouds that they were stepping on. A flock of flying birds or... flying fish? Passing through their field of vision, flying from one cloud world to another in search of food.

The view here looks like a fairyland in the clouds.

The officer following Ji Lin waved and asked the soldiers holding muskets to set up a temporary camp.

All the work in General Ji Lin's territory has been arranged again, and the newly added caster population in the territory is still being verified by the affairs officers... The number of four thousand people cannot be verified in a short time.

This third-level bloodline purification finally brought extremely significant benefits to the territory management. All his hero units have awakened the source of talent, which is weak, but enough for use. There is also an additional talent that affects individuals. After three eras of blood purification, he can finally bring bonuses to his heroic units in addition to experience gain and physical strength enhancement.

‘Essence potential: work efficiency +5% (increases with level)’

A work efficiency bonus that increases by a percentage as the level increases is still applied to the manager. This increase can be transmitted to the entire territory along with the manager, improving the operating efficiency of the entire territory.

After completing the layout of the territory, he finally had a short period of working time away from the territory. Ji Lin left the territory with all the territory guards and formed an expedition team through the special buildings of the fourth era to set off. When a lord owns an outpost, the system's monthly enemy attacks will be moved to the outpost instead of focusing on constant attacks on the territory.

This greatly reduces the defensive pressure on the Lords.

But it is almost mandatory that the lord must expand externally and have at least one outpost.

The purpose of the system is always so clear, and it drives the progress of these lords.

Moving forward is their first priority.

Without the assistance of heavy machinery, these expedition teams can only rely on themselves to assemble a temporary camp, using linen cloth and brackets of appropriate length to set up a tent area.

Three hundred musketeers, fourteen hundred scout hunting spiders, one general, and one lord.

One month of ammunition, one month of supplies.

A deployable forward base.

The pioneering team was unable to obtain support from the territory before successfully establishing a temporary base, although Ji Lin had regained two strategic support permission rights that had been reset due to the advancement of the era.

But that was the ultimate solution to the demand.

There are no main battleships in the territory, and Ji Lin has excluded all areas where the ocean area accounts for the majority. His troops are really not good at fighting at sea.

Next, excluding those worlds that are rich in biological resources but poor in mineral resources, the food output of the territory is already abundant.

Among the remaining openable worlds, Ji Lin selected a special world that had a large amount of mineral resources and could also produce rare resources.

A floating island in the sky.

A sky island group consisting of three large floating islands in the sky and a large number of small floating islands in the sky.

‘Sky Island: Fragments of a Medium World’

‘It has a large number of floating stone mines, which produce a large amount of casting materials and are rich in mineral veins. ’

‘Elemental creatures, fairies, dangerous plants. ’

This location will produce extremely considerable anti-gravity floating stones, which can reduce the frame load of mechanical units. Anti-gravity stones are almost the best choice for manufacturing medium and large air units and ground units.

The officer walked to the edge of the empty island and looked under the empty island. There were thick clouds underneath.

I was a little surprised and wanted to record this scene in pictures.

Layers of white clouds blocked his view, but he could vaguely glimpse the continuous green fields under the sky island, and there was a whole vast world under the sky island.

If they fell from this height... they would be dead.

After checking the general terrain of the surrounding area, Ji Lin arranged step by step for his officers to carry hunting spiders and set off as a team to clearly understand the terrain of the empty island they arrived at.

Even the smallest sky island is tens of square kilometers in size, while a truly vast sky island can exceed hundreds or thousands of square kilometers.

The terrain of an empty island is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as they take root on any empty island, it will be extremely difficult for others to seize their control area.

Ji Lin thought about it and turned his attention to the map of the empty island in front of him.

He has counted twenty-eight small sky islands and three large sky islands. Each large sky island has several large floating stone mining sites, while the small sky islands only have a few scattered small mining sites.

As long as forward bases are deployed on these empty islands, they can call on the system's buildings to quickly build support within a certain range.

Except for ordinary civilian production and maintenance buildings used in the territory.

There are also defensive buildings.

There are only three initial ones, two of which are assigned to him based on the organizational model of his territorial army.

'Musket Tower'

'wall'

‘Spider Hunting Camp’

The musket sentry tower is an improvement on the watchtower. It is essentially a shorter watchtower that can accommodate four musketeers, but provides storage space and shooting slots for ammunition, and has weak protection capabilities.

The spider hunting camp provides a temporary rest and activity place for the spider hunting, so that they will not run around when they are not engaged in battle.

There is nothing much to say about the wall. It is a default filling building issued by the system to each lord.

Now Ji Lin's defect is that he has no long-range artillery. The close-range anti-medium and large units have grenadiers as filling. Each musketeer has received special grenade throwing training and can throw small explosive packs at a distance of 30 meters. The violent explosion from the crystal ore powder can destroy the advancing large monster infantry and constructs, and at the same time destroy the approaching troops.

It's a pity that Ji Lin has not built a battlefield support wonder in the territory. This special wonder allows the lord to call a tactical strike periodically at any place.

Except for the extremely lucky ones, no one will have a battlefield support wonder when they just enter the fourth era.

Of course he didn't have one... But if Ji Lin chose a real earth vein, built an earth vein tower, and pulled out Gui Yu, the star vein mage, he could create a small-scale thunderstorm in a local area.

Star vein mage who controls celestial phenomena...

Perhaps Ji Lin can find other ways to increase the number of stars in the future, so that the star vein mage he may have in the future can release thunderstorms smoothly.

For now, it is most important to take over the entire sky island world in front of him. The mass reduction brought by the floating stone is very important to him. If the floating stone can be used, these steam spiders can walk briskly on any terrain-and they can finally walk on the stone road without damaging the road surface after installing the foot pad.

But... wait...

Ji Lin frowned, feeling that his unlucky constitution began to take effect.

Why do all the mining points in this sky island world... show that they have been occupied and controlled?
