Everyone’s an Overlord: I Have the Military Unit Editor!

Chapter 30: Discovering the Elf’s Lair!

“I’ll construct first, then upgrade.”

This was Rene’s next construction direction.

After the Overlord’s Hall was upgraded, there were 10 more building spots in the territory, and the construction limit of the various buildings was increased to three.

Rene planned to build all the buildings first before upgrading them.

This was because upgrading buildings requires twice as much resources as building them.

Therefore, the benefits of constructing a building first would be greater.

After everything was arranged, Rene began to wander through the surrounding forest with a few militia soldiers.

His goal this time was to check the tree hole he found yesterday.

But the result was obvious. There was nothing in the tree hole.

The ‘gifts’ inside should also have a refresh time, or perhaps it was a one-time only benefit.

Rene didn’t really care about that.

What made him feel melancholic were the wild beasts in the surrounding forest.

After sweeping through this area yesterday, the number of wild beasts around had decreased greatly.

In places where there were always groups of wild beasts, only one or two scattered wild beasts could be seen occasionally, and their frequency of appearance was very low.

Clearly, wild beasts had a respawn time.

Rene had wanted to hunt more beasts and exchange their meat for resources like wood.

However, this thought had already vanished.

“Looks like I have to control my hunting.” Rene murmured.

To the territory, wild beasts were like food reserves.

If you hunted all of them at once, then when you needed food, you could only gnaw on the bark.

Therefore, it was necessary to prevent the eradication of large-scale species.

If the soldiers needed to level up, he would let them specifically hunt those beasts with poison in their bodies.

Reserve food like elk had to be appropriately pardoned.

Without Rene by their side, the soldiers would not be able to bring all the beasts they hunted back to their territory. This would result in a severe loss of resources.

…

Then…

After searching for an area without finding anything, Rene returned to the territory with the militia.

They waited until noon.

The hunters that were sent out also returned one after another.

In the afternoon, Rene was going out to kill monsters and level up. He wanted to bring everyone with him to protect his safety.

Therefore, they all rushed back to the territory at the designated time.

Rene briefly scanned their levels.

He discovered that after a morning of hunting, these warriors’ levels had increased, and their strength had also increased considerably.

The improvement of their abilities after editing gave them a huge advantage.

The hunting speed in the forest was much faster than ordinary warriors.

That was why they had their current achievements.

When the last group of Blade Warriors returned, the leader gave Rene a surprise.

In the northwest direction of the territory, they discovered a monster lair!

“Master, there are elves guarding that lair. There are many of them.”

“Elves?”

Rene frowned slightly as he listened to the reports from the soldiers, thinking, “There’s an elf lair already?”

In his impression, elves should be high-level monsters.

Why was it so close to the territory?

According to the captain, there were at least dozens of elves around the lair.

This was a very strong defensive force.

If they wanted to attack, Rene had to be mentally prepared to be wiped out.

“Since that’s the case, let’s wait for now.”

Rene didn’t act on impulse.

He needed the confidence to win.

A battle like this with a chance of failure had to be avoided.

As for the certainty of victory?

That was the barracks, of course.

The current territory could build a third barracks, and all of them could be upgraded to Level 2.

In this way, he could recruit 40 more Blade Warriors, as well as 8 more Blazing Spear Soldiers and Archers.

With this power, there wouldn’t be any accidents when fighting against that elf lair.

Still, it took time to build a building.

There were not many resources in the territory.

If he wanted to upgrade all the barracks, he would have to wait for some time.

During this period of time, Rene asked all the soldiers to help with the logging and mining.

As for himself, he opened the world channel.

He began to ask for more fire runes.

The Blazing Archers needed fire runes to edit, and now it had become Rene’s biggest headache.

Fortunately, the profits from the territories were very high.

Even if a large portion of it was used to upgrade buildings, a portion of it could be used to trade runes.

Furthermore!

On the third day of the game, the desire to live was awakened.

They began to walk out of the territory to explore the surrounding tree holes.

As such, the number of runes on the market had always been relatively stable.

Rene’s bid was the highest.

Therefore, his income on runes was very considerable.

…

Two hours passed.

Rene obtained the ninth fire rune ten minutes ago, and then nothing else.

During this period of waiting, he had been practicing his blade skills.

The proficiency rose very quickly.

By three in the afternoon, the heat of the sun had already started to wane.

It was getting late.

If they did not set off now, they would not be able to go out and attack the lair today.

Rene put away his machete and walked towards the territory’s military area.

The third camp had been completed.

There was also a military camp that had completed the upgrade and became a level 2 building.

————

[Barracks] (Rank 1 Construction)

[Quality]: Normal

[Level]: 2

[Function]: Cost of recruitment per week: Warrior 10/20 (10 silver coins per person), Archer 2/4 (50 silver coins per person), Spear Soldier 2/4 (50 silver coins per person), Shield Soldier 0/4 (50 silver coins per person).

[Description]: An ordinary barracks can recruit some warriors and professional soldiers.

————

There was an additional shield soldier that could be recruited by a level 2 barracks.

Shield soldiers could withstand damage and reduce the casualties of the troops. They were very important core soldiers.

Rene went straight to the building and recruited both soldiers from the barracks.

Ding!

[Congratulations, 20 warriors have joined you.]

[Congratulations, 4 spear soldiers have joined you.]

[Congratulations, 4 spear soldiers have joined you.]

[Congratulations, 4 shield soldiers have joined you.]

The level 1 barracks and the level 2 barracks, which had just leveled up, brought 32 warriors to the territory.

12 of them were professional soldiers.

Rene couldn’t edit everyone for now, so he had to edit the archers and spear soldiers first.

As for the shield soldiers?

Shield soldiers should not be suitable for fire runes.

According to the characteristics of the elements, shield soldiers should be more suitable for earth runes.

However, without the earth runes, he could only temporarily set aside their upgrade.

As for the rest of the ordinary warriors, he used machetes to edit them, making them stronger Blade Warriors.

Seeing that the number of troops had doubled, Rene’s confidence soared.

He took a deep breath.

Then, he drew his blade and slashed at the air!

“Attack!”
