Chapter 637 Independent Fortress
"Green Swamp, attack."

Lindsay sighed.

Before embarking on this expedition, he arranged for Shaqiu to lead a group of hunters to the south in order to prevent such sneak attacks.

Now that his idea has come true, Lindsay has changed his attitude and started to carefully analyze the information of these red dots:
"There are seven of us in total."

"Too few to attack a city."

Lindsay shook her head, her expression becoming even more serious.

The last time Green Swamp attacked the Yaro camp, it sent out hundreds of fighters.

Among them, they were led by elite awakeners, and followed by ordinary soldiers.

The whole battle was a crushing victory.

And this time.

The developments in the banyan forest must have been known to the Green Swamp, which is why they launched the attack.

That’s why there are so few people…

"There's only one possibility."

Lindsay made a judgement.

Compared with the previous Yalu Camp, Green Swamp attaches more importance to this banyan forest expedition.

They even abandoned the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers and adopted a strategy of conquering with all elites.

"Are they all high-level awakeners?"

Lindsay touched his chin. In a world with awakened people, such a threat is more terrifying than a large-scale army.

Those wilderness hunters relying on the sand dunes are probably - or rather, absolutely no match for these enemies.

"Anyway, we have to get back on defense."

Lindsay stood up and shook out her clothes.

He sent workers to build roads on the ground, and also considered the possibility of returning for support. But he carefully studied the movement speed of the seven red dots on the map.

The situation is urgent - these people have speed far beyond that of ordinary people.

By the time the expeditionary force arrived here, they were already too far away from the [Forest City].

Lindsay would return to the Forest City on his own, so he would definitely have enough time, and even have time to continue southward and set up a defense line at the Zerg nest.

But if you want to bring other troops.

"..."

"No, it's impossible!"

Lindsay shook her head.

It is impossible for the large force to turn back.

Even if he only brought the awakened ones in the expeditionary force, there would probably be few people who could keep up with his speed.

In silence, Lindsay looked through the tent and around.

The soldiers have begun to rest.

At this moment, they were still unaware of what had happened in the base camp and were still immersed in the atmosphere of fighting against the Deformers.

"It is absolutely taboo to let people march uselessly. But if I go back alone and leave them here, they may be attacked by the Deformers and even lose the army's fighting spirit. Even if they are at the fifth stage, they will have no problem dealing with them, but if there is a sixth stage..."

Countless thoughts ran through Lindsay's mind.

He was keen to identify the possibilities at hand and came up with an idea in the blink of an eye.

So Lindsay turned his head and looked at a corner of the tent:
"Vivian, get up."

A head of fluffy blonde hair emerged from the sleeping bag.

After several months of marching, Vivian also developed a vigilant personality. As soon as Lindsay spoke, she regained her consciousness:

"Mr. Lindsay?"

"What's going on? Is there a sudden attack by the Aberrants and I need to command the swarm?"

Lindsay shook her head in denial, then waved:
"The situation is rather special. Come here. I want to entrust you with a task."

Then, two figures, one big and one small, walked to the door of the tent.

Vivian then heard Lindsay say:
"Go and call all the legion commanders over. I want to announce what happened here in public."

Vivian obeyed.

In less than 5 minutes, the commanders of the 20 legions were all in place, standing in front of the tents.
Swish—at this moment, the tent cloth in front of them was suddenly torn off.

Everyone was shocked to find that inside the originally tidied tent, Lindsay had used the skills of a [game player] to neatly build a house.

"..."

The legion commanders were overwhelmed by the changes before them.

Vivian, who had the closest relationship with Lindsay and had experienced several city construction and upgrades, was the first to realize the situation:

"Mr. Lindsay, are you planning to build a city here?"

Lindsay nodded:

"Everyone, I have something urgent to do and need to return to the Forest City."

"As for you - if you want to return with me, time does not allow it, and it would be dangerous to act rashly."

"So, I have an idea."

Lindsay pointed to the underground house that had just been built.

He deliberately used soil and rocks as materials for this room, and the architectural style was also that of an underground maze, deliberately guiding the development direction of the dungeon.

“Next, I will transform this building into a new city center.”

"You should expand the entire city with it as the center and turn it into a frontline battle fortress to protect the results of the past few months before I return."

"I'm entrusting this task to you?"

The legion commanders looked at each other.

The newly awakened ones who joined the expeditionary force didn't even understand what Lindsay meant. Although some of the old members of the expeditionary force knew the situation, they didn't respond immediately.

At last.

Levi stood up and spoke at the same time as Vivian:
"Mr. Lindsay! We will definitely complete your mission and defend this city to the death!"

Lindsay nodded with satisfaction.

"That's good! Now I'm going to speed up."

Then, Lindsay opened the data panel of the [Real-time Strategy] and found that the building in front of him could indeed be identified as the new city hall.

And when it is converted.

The building in front of him immediately turned into a first-level hall of an ordinary human city.

But there were indeed changes in the subsequent upgrade options.

[Special City (Underground Fortress)]

The construction of the road connects this place with the [Forest City], and construction resources can be mobilized at will.

Lindsay simply took out the large amount of stone resources that he had accumulated.

The upgrade progress bar of the [Underground Fortress] was piled up.

Let’s take a look at the data on the panel.

Because it is not a leap-forward growth to the third era like [Forest City], but a direct upgrade from the first era.

[Underground Fortress] Although Lindsay received a lot of source material.

But the evolution process does not take too long, the most basic one is also 8 hours.

Confirm the information.

Lindsay turned his head and looked at the legion commanders in front of him:
"I'll be out of here tomorrow morning."

"During this last period of time, I will conduct a reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain and arrange for you to carry out a combat mission to clean up the surrounding area so that the overall environment can be stabilized."

After hearing Lindsay's words, everyone stood up straight with a serious look.

Lindsay nodded gratifiedly.

He took some time to arrange the mission for tonight.

Then, while watching the countdown for the era upgrade, he instructed these trusted subordinates:
"Then, this city will be handed over to you..."

Suddenly, Lindsay froze herself.

Because a string of text popped up on his attribute panel at the same time.

[Survival construction level: 5→6]
