Chapter 49 - A Lively Storm! (1/2)

The castles of billions of Castle Lords were attacked by the monsters in the wild the moment the protective barrier disappeared.

The battle was fierce.

Who knew how many Castle Lords had died.

The Castle Lords who survived must have obtained a great harvest.

The food collected from the monsters in the wild could not be finished in a short time, so they were sold one after another.

Unfortunately, there was no Castle Lord who lacked food at the moment.

At least, there was no shortage of food in the short term.

Therefore, no one was interested in the food that they put on the shelves..

However, some of the monster materials were showing signs of being traded.

This caught Mike’s attention.

[Someone must have dropped the blueprints of the smithy during the castle defense battle!]

[They are purchasing monster materials at the low-level and are preparing to forge equipment!]

This was not good news, because it meant that someone wanted to compete with him and the little loli for business.

[My castle’s forces are developing.]

[The forces of the other Castle Lords are also developing.]

[Basic buildings like the smithy will be popularized sooner or later. This can not be stopped.]

Mike Thought for a moment and did not pay too much attention to it.

This crab was very big. He could not finish it all by himself.

For a long time, those Castle Lords who owned smithies would not be able to affect his profits in the field of standard equipment.

Moreover.

This was not all bad.

The battle between Castle Lords was secondary after all.

Their biggest enemy had always been the local forces in the other world.

The development of the castle forces could also reduce the pressure on him when he faced the local forces in the future.

As for the battle between the Castle Lords, Mike was not worried. He had always been ahead of all the Castle Lords.

He was also confident that he would continue to lead.

Mike looked at the bustling trading area and could not help but step in.

A total of 23,000 units of food were directly put on the shelves.

Among them were 4,000 units of elite-level food and 400 units of commander-level food. These special foods that could increase energy value were all sold at high prices.

Ordinary food was not in demand. However, special food was still in demand in the market.

In addition, the monster materials he collected were all packaged and distributed to the little loli in the underground world to be used to make standard equipment.

Of course, he also transferred 2,000 units of food.

Previously, the little loli had given him all her share of the refined iron.

Even though she said that she had given it to him for free. he still could not take it for free. According to the previous agreement, he packed 2,000 units of food and sent it over.

Although the little loli’s gray dwarves did not have high combat strength, they were professional in the field of crafting equipment.

Mike took a look at his castle’s warehouse.

Previously, he had used up a part of his resources to build houses, noble courtyards, and fences.

Now, there were only 98,630 units of wood, 69,500 units of stones, and 1,720 units of refined iron left.

As for energy stones and strange crystals, they were all kept in the warehouse.

However, the quantity of refined iron seemed to have decreased substantially overnight.

It seemed that the quantity of refined iron was still too little. After all, it needed to be smelted, and the difficulty of obtaining it was much more difficult than obtaining wood and stones.

“It seems that refined iron is what I lack the most.”

Mike sighed softly.

He shook his head. “Let’s take it one step at a time!”
