Chapter 465
This was the announcement that appeared after the Angel Castle upgrade.
It was very simple information but was enough to shake the world.
Where most Castle Lords only had town-ranked castles, very few top-ranked Castle Lords had primary main cities.
Lin Yi had the Intermediate Kingdom.
Such a gap was beyond words.
However, Lin Yi did not stop, because, inside the castle warehouse, there was still a huge amount of supplies that was enough to raise the castle to the [High King’s City].
“Upgrading to a high-ranked capital required one billion units of wood, 800 million units of stone, and 500 million units of fine iron.”
“Any of the top Castle Lords can not have such a huge amount of resources!”
“But it’s not a big deal for me!”
Lin Yi glanced at the storeroom of the castle.
[Over 4 billion units of food, 5.7 billion units of wood, 3.5 billion units of stone, and 2 billion units of fine iron.].Just upgrade [intermediate capital].
His reserve of resources did not seem to have been reduced at all, because he was so rich!
After all, it was all the reserves of supplies from the 150,000 Castle Lords, which was considered a huge amount.
“Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to upgrade the imperial capital!”
“The reason is simple, upgrading to a high-ranked capital required ten times as much material as before. If you want to upgrade the imperial capital, it will be ten times, perhaps even more.”
“With my current stock of supplies.”
“Ten times more was not enough to directly upgrade the imperial capital!”
“However, the senior king’s city is enough!”
“If an imperial capital came out directly, it will be difficult to resist the pressure from the local empire in the central region!”
After all, a power outside the heart of the region had an imperial capital and Lin Yi was about to establish an imperial power.
What would the local empires in the central region think?
He was courting death!
Those empires, would not hesitate to send an army of gods.
The kingdom was different because, outside the central region, there were kingdom forces everywhere.
It was difficult to threaten the dominance of empires over the Endless Continent.
Without the threat, they would naturally ignore it.
“I have no reason to think about the empire!”
“The strength is not enough, even if I have the resources, I cannot build up”
“What I want to do is to upgrade the high-ranked king’s city, to establish my dynasty-ranked power!”
Lin Yi then opened the castle information prompt again.
[Are you upgrading the castle?]. [Yes or No].Lin Yi immediately chose [Yes].
For a moment, the bright golden light appeared again.
It enclosed all the direct territory of the Angel Castle.
After the castle was upgraded to [Intermediate King’s City]; his direct territory reached a terrifying 2,000 km diameter.
So-called direct territories referred to the area covered by the wall.
Inside the wall was the direct territory of the castle.
Two thousand kilometers of direct territory, that was a terrible thing.
The whole Dark Forest was only five or six thousand kilometers.
That was to said, his castle was now the equivalent of occupying a third of the Dark Forest.
Imagine how big it was.
Lin Yi was stunned because he suddenly thought of a problem.
The immediate territory expanded outward, and everything around it, including ancient trees, jungles, lakes, mountains, and so on, disappeared into thin air and became flat ground paved with large bluestone floors.
Doesn’t that mean the wild monsters, the local powers, will also disappear?
Lin Yi quickly asked ‘Game Official’ this question.
Soon he got a response.
[Ancient trees, jungles, lakes, mountains, wild monsters, native powers, tribes, and so on, will be randomly transmitted to other parts of the world as the Castle Lord upgrades the Castle.].Looking at the ‘Game Official’ reply, the corners of Lin Yi’s mouth twitched.
He felt like he lost a lot of experience!
If he cleared out all those large and small wild monsters and native forces in the Dark Forest before upgrading the castle, he thought he could inevitably get numerous supplies.
Those things, all of them, were randomly dropped around the world because of the upgrade of Angel Castle.
He suffered a great loss indirectly.
“What a loss!”
Lin Yi was quite distressed.
Originally, those things in the Dark Forest belonged to him.
It was just because he upgraded the castle those things were gone away from him.
His Angel Castle was still being upgraded.
He was very suspicious of one thing and that was when the angel castle’s upgrade would be over and it became the senior king’s capital, the whole Dark Forest would disappear and become the direct territory of the castle paved by the big green stone floor.
It was not impossible.
After all, the direct territory of the [Intermediate King’s City] was 2,000 kilometers in diameter.
Once promoted to [Senior King’s Capital], I’m afraid it’ll reach five thousand kilometers.
The narrowest part of the Dark Forest was not five thousand kilometers.
When the upgrade was completed, his [Senior King’s City] was likely to cover the Dark Forest directly.
Since then, there would be no more Dark Forest.
There would only be his Holy Kingdom!
“It wouldn’t be all covered, because of the location of the Angel Castle, it was not in the middle of the Dark Forest. It was in the southwest. The expansion of the castle directly belonged to the territory. It was to resist in all directions. It was not inclined to expand.”
“In other words, after the upgrade, my king city will probably occupy about half of the Dark Forest, while the other half of the king’s city”
Lin Yi remembered what Miss Joanna said.
The Dark Forest was bordered by the Death Swamp to the north, the Boliri Highlands to the south, the Kalami Steppe to the west, and the vast area of Wilderness No Man’s Land to the east.
