Lin Feng continued looking down, his gaze landing on the final item—【wonder】.

He took a deep breath and clicked on it.

Two options popped up on the light screen; they were no longer grayed out.

【Great Wall (Unique)】

【Terracotta Army (Unique)】

Lin Feng's finger hovered over "Great Wall" for a moment before he clicked it.

The light screen burst open, and dense text and numbers filled his entire vision.

He held his breath and read through it line by line. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

【Great Wall (Unique)】

【Stage One Effects:】

【Effect 1: The Great Wall can be built within the scope of the lord's territory, but it must not enclose powerful threats that exceed the territory's current capacity. Once completed, the lord can adjust its position and coverage at any time.】

【Effect 2: Once the Great Wall completely encloses the territory, the lord can set an "Array Eye Pass." Thereafter, enemy forces can only enter the territory through the Array Eye Pass and cannot invade by any other means. The lord and his subordinate soldiers are not subject to this restriction and can freely launch attacks from any section of the wall.】

【Effect 3: Only one side of the Array Eye Pass is exposed to the enemy, while the other three sides are protected by the Great Wall's structure. The wall is of Blue quality, and the gate is of Purple quality. Within a three-mile radius of the Array Eye Pass, the All-Attributes of the lord and subordinate lords are increased by 30%, and the health of their soldiers is increased by 400 points.】

【Effect 4: The Array Eye Pass can activate Beacon Fire. Once activated, the lord and all subordinate lords will be immediately teleported back to the Array Eye Pass. Cooldown: 30 days.】

【Stage Two Effects (Viewable by city-level territories, or partially unlockable early using an advanced dragon heart)】

【Construction Requirements (Based on current territory scope): Stone x40,000, Wood x10,000, Iron Ingots x5,000, Mithril x1,200, Gray Crystals x20,000, dragon heart x1】

Lin Feng stared at the text, his pupils slightly constricting.

The Great Wall perfectly solved the problem of territorial defense.

It wasn't about "strengthening defense" or "increasing wall durability"—it was a complete solution.

Once the Great Wall was built, enemies could only enter through the Array Eye Pass. There would be no flanks, no rear paths, and no sneak attacks.

All enemy forces would have to crash head-on into his carefully arranged defensive positions.

The design of the Array Eye Pass was even more ingenious; only one side was exposed to the enemy, while the other three were protected by the wall itself.

The wall was Blue quality and the gate was Purple quality; ordinary battering rams wouldn't even be able to budge them.

And within a three-mile radius of the pass, his All-Attributes would increase by thirty percent, and his soldiers' health would increase by four hundred.

While the enemy couldn't break in, he could freely launch attacks from any section of the wall—flanking, encircling, or ambushing however he pleased.

One side waxes as the other wanes. No, this was a total steamroll.

Lin Feng couldn't suppress the curl of his lips.

He took a deep breath and clicked on the other option.

【Terracotta Army (Unique)】

【Stage One Effects:】

【Effect 1: The morale of the troops within the territory will never break, and they are immune to fear and confusion effects.】

【Effect 2: The souls of fallen soldiers will be stored within the Terracotta Army.】

【Effect 3: A specific unit type can be designated to have its troop limit increased by 10,000.】

【Construction Requirements: Stone x50,000, Mithril x3,000, Wood x10,000, Iron Ingots x3,000, Gray Crystals x20,000, Heroic Soul Core x1】

【Stage Two Effects (Viewable by city-level territories)】

The Terracotta Army was also very strong. Morale never breaking and immunity to fear and confusion meant his army would never flee or scatter.

The souls of fallen soldiers being stored in the Terracotta Army—though he didn't yet understand what that meant specifically—sounded far from simple.

It could also increase the troop limit of one unit type by ten thousand. What did ten thousand even mean?

He now had less than four thousand troops in total across all unit types.

But Lin Feng's gaze only lingered on the Terracotta Army for a moment before returning to the Great Wall.

It wasn't that the Terracotta Army wasn't strong; it was that the Great Wall was more suitable for him right now.

The Blood Moon was still hanging in the sky, rules were changing, enemies were changing, and dangers were changing. He needed to stabilize his foundation first.

Walls, passes, and positions—these things were static, but they were also the most reliable.

With the Great Wall, he wouldn't have to worry about Qingmu County being ambushed, the Mithril Mine in North Slope Village being seized, or other factions taking advantage of an opening. Only by stabilizing could he expand.

Looking at the construction requirements again—the Great Wall's consumption was "based on current territory scope." How big was his territory now?

Fenghuo County plus Qingmu County, along with Heiyan Town, Hupan Village, and North Slope Village, spanned about one or two hundred miles.

Forty thousand Stone, ten thousand Wood, five thousand Iron Ingots—he had all of those in the warehouse.

Gray Crystals were also sufficient, but he needed one thousand two hundred units of Mithril. He only had sixty now, a twenty-fold deficit.

But he could dispatch more people to mine day and night without stopping.

The only thing that made him frown was that dragon heart.

He had never even heard of this item. Just from the name, he knew he'd have to kill a dragon.

Dragon-type monsters were at least Rare Bosses, and their level wouldn't be lower than thirty.

Where was he going to find a dragon?

Lin Feng closed his eyes and began searching through his memories.

Umekawa Kojiro... Hundred Ghosts County... When he was about to engage in a lord war with Hundred Ghosts County, he had Lin Xiaoyu look up information beforehand.

There was one detail he remembered clearly: Umekawa Kojiro had dropped from level twenty-five to level twenty because he went to subjugate a level thirty Rare Boss. What was it called... the Nightmare Corrupt Dragon Beast.

Right, that was the name. Nightmare Corrupt Dragon Beast; it sounded like a dragon-type from the name alone.

Umekawa Kojiro had brought a team and lost, many people died, and he himself was hit by the Nightmare Corrupt Dragon Beast's skill, dropping five levels.

He was now more than a level above Umekawa Kojiro in terms of strength.

A level thirty Rare Boss—he could kill it.

Furthermore, the Eye of Probability would refresh in seventeen days.

When the time came, he could designate a dragon heart to drop.

If he was lucky, the Nightmare Corrupt Dragon Beast might drop an advanced dragon heart, which would even allow him to unlock part of the Stage Two effects early.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, the smile on his lips impossible to suppress.

In seventeen days, he would go and subjugate the Nightmare Corrupt Dragon Beast.

Once he got the dragon heart and saved up enough Mithril, construction on the Great Wall could begin.

By then, Beacon Fire Territory would be like an iron bucket—impenetrable to anyone.

But there was one thing he had to consider.

Once the Great Wall was built, the secret of the Special Village Establishment Order could no longer be hidden.

The entire Nightmare World would know that in the Great Xia South Pole Region, there was a county-level territory that had built a Great Wall.

Even if it was only Stage One, it was still the Great Wall.

What would the people in Great Xia Main City think? What would those in Zhenyue City think? What would Sakura Country, Korea, Baixiang Kingdom, and all those factions jostling for space in the South Pole Region think?

Lin Feng thought for a long time. Then he smiled.

It couldn't be hidden. From the day he used the Eye of Probability to get the Village Establishment Order, from the day he upgraded Beacon Fire Town from a village to a county step by step, from the day he single-handedly slaughtered through five thousand Yellow Turban Army soldiers, he never expected to keep it hidden forever.

The secret of the Special Village Establishment Order would be discovered sooner or later.

Rather than being secretive, it was better to reveal it openly and honestly.

Once the Great Wall was built and the Array Eye Pass was established, he would fear no one.

Want to take advantage? Get past the Great Wall first.
