Raft Survival: Fished a mermaid at the beginning

Chapter 168 Neutral forces
Xiao Yang smiled lightly, without showing too much surprise.

"That king is a smart man. He knows that we have not developed yet, and this is a good opportunity to destroy us."

"However, he may have miscalculated!"

"Although I don't know where he gets his confidence, we still need to make more preparations!"

"This kind of declaration of war through the system requires system approval. It is estimated that it will not come down so soon."

"I checked the previous records of the system. The fastest one took a week, and the slowest one took three months."

"The battlefield this time will be our island."

"We have home field advantage!"

"However, we don't know anything about the enemy right now, and I feel the need to make a trip."

Wang Xiaopang was taken aback for a moment, "The war is about to start? Where are you going?"

A smile flashed in Xiao Yang's eyes, "Of course it's the enemy's house!"

"What!" Wang Xiaopang was extremely surprised, "It's not safe at this time!"

Several others were also shocked by Xiao Yang's bold idea.

Gu Yingjun raised an objection.

"We don't know where the Howard Principality is, how do you get there?"

Xiao Yang took out the bloody logbook and quickly flipped through it.

After that, the fingertip lands on one of the segments.

[The Principality of Howard, one of the many principalities in the East China Sea]

[Government: Monarchy]

[Geographic location: Donghai X: -31.158178654 Y: 160.541354564]

[Climate: Temperate Marine Climate]

[Overview: The country is rich and has a large population. 】

[Resources: It has rich mineral, forestry and fishery resources. 】

[Technology tree: The national technology tree is a magical route, but it is inclusive, has subdued many small and medium forces, and also has a large number of warriors, swordsmen and sharpshooters. 】

[Royal family: King Howard III, father of six sons and four daughters.Three princes, Oliver, Scrooge, and Harry, are gifted and enrolled in a magic academy.Note: The Magic Academy is one of the neutral fifth-level forces and has branches in low-level sea areas. 】

[Diplomatic forces: the Principality of Harrington, the Principality of Newzeland, the Principality of New Jersey, the Principality of the Red Maple Leaf, the Principality of Bryce...]

[Hostile forces: Bloody Hand Pirates, Iron Hook Pirates, Red Shark Pirates, Masked Pirates...]

[Portal: The Principality of Howard has developed trade and has portals in many diplomatic and neutral forces. 】

Xiao Yang's fingers slowly stopped on the line of the portal, the words 'neutral forces'.

Xiao Yang opened his mouth to explain.

"Neutral forces are mostly forces that are unwilling to get involved in the war."

"They often operate entertainment, resource exploration and collection, fish fishing, marine treasure hunting and other life-related businesses."

"I saw portals on Blood Crab Island and Iron Hook Island."

"These portals can lead to an entertainment island called Carnival Harbor."

"According to Bloody Hand's logbook, this carnival harbor is very famous, and there are portals to almost all principalities."

"So I can use this island as a springboard to the Principality of Howard."

Wang Xiaopang frowned, "Then what if the enemy comes and you can't come back?"

Xiao Yang smiled faintly, "I can use the stronghold to return the scroll at any time."

Wang Xiaopang was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Well... I forgot about this. That's fine, how many people are you going to take this time? Do you need me to go with you?"

Xiao Yang shook his head, "The fewer people there are, the smaller the target will be, and the less likely to attract attention."

Wang Xiaopang said in surprise, "You don't mean to go alone, do you?"

Xiao Yang nodded seriously, "Yes."

Everyone was shocked and asked to go with them one after another.

Xiao Yang waved his hand and rejected everyone's request.

"I know, everyone is worried about me, and I am very touched."

"However, everyone has more important tasks these days. You must strengthen the island's defenses and demobilize non-combatants before the war begins."

"After the war begins, we must have no worries and enter the best fighting condition!"

Everyone fell silent, and then nodded in agreement.

Wang Xiaopang said worriedly: "It is too dangerous for you to go alone. We have to find a strong helper for you, otherwise we will really not worry about it."

Xiao Yang said with a smile: "Let's talk about this later. Before setting off the day after tomorrow, I will help you speed up the construction progress."

The meeting ended quickly and everyone went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yang got up and was busy in the fortress.

He first used the Island Expansion Book, expanding the island by 33%.

As the island expanded, more mountains appeared on the island, as well as lakes.

Even the once-disappeared blue crystal mine has an extra vein.

Xiao Yang's accumulated fort resources are about 9567 units.

The exchange ratio between fortress resources and gold coins is about 1:1 million.

Every time a stronghold is upgraded, the resource consumption will increase by a hundred times.

For example, a first-level fort needs 1 unit of resources.

The second level fortress requires 100 units of resources.

Level 10000 fortress requires [-] units of resources.

As for the fourth-level fortress, it needs 1000000 units of resources.

Xiao Yang's remaining resources are far from enough to upgrade the fourth-level fortress.

But enough to upgrade buildings.

He first launched the island enchantment, which is a new function of the third-level fortress.

A huge magic circle rose from the ground, forming three inverted light shields in the air.

The enemy cannot enter the island until the mask is broken.

Three masks formed three defenses.

They cover the outer sea, the beach and the dense forest around the fortress respectively.

After that, Xiao Yang built a giant beast evolution field.

[Giant Beast Evolution Field (Special): The giant beast has the ability to evolve, and the exclusive talent tree of the giant beast is opened, with an upper limit of three types. 】

The branches of Behemoth talent are as follows. There are only three layers of talent that can be lit in the initial stage.

The first layer is: hard shell (all defenses increased by 100%), ear-piercing roar (attack increased by 30%), toughness (all resistances increased by 100%)

The second layer is: Steel Skin (skin turns into steel, immune to some negative states), Mania (attack speed increased by 30%), Rage Claw (active skill, 150% attack bonus)

The third layer is: quantum state (cannot attack, cannot be attacked), rapid resurrection (instant resurrection, ignoring the cooling time of resurrection, can only be used once a day), stripping (breathing damage increases by 10% per second)

There are a total of nine talent options for the giant beast talent, but there are only three talent points.

Xiao Yang activated the Hand of God again.

[Beast talent points: MAX, increased to 9 points]

Xiao Yang filled up all nine points of talent.

At this moment, Xiao Yang also roughly figured out the difference between attribute points and talent points.

Attribute points are fixed, and can only be obtained through the character's career upgrade. Another way is attribute potions, and God's Hand can only modify attribute potions.

Talent points: divided into upgrade talent points and achievement reward talent points.

Achievement talent points were originally required to complete special tasks and obtain achievements to unlock.

The increased part of Xiao Yang's use of God's Hand is actually equivalent to changing the achievement from 0 to 1, which saves the trouble of doing tasks.
