Global Plunder: Start with Heart of Darkness

Gu Yu merged two high-quality pig iron mines together. The quality of the pig iron was not improved, but the iron ore content doubled.

The so-called +1 means 1+1. If it is +2, it means 1+2, and so on.

This is a small mark that Gu Yu himself made for these fused mineral veins in order to facilitate recording and distinction.

In addition, there is a +3 sulfur mine, a +5 gem mine, a +6 mercury mine, a +2 crystal mine, and a giant crystal mine.

Gu Yu used to go to the Boneyard to absorb a giant crystal mine specifically for it. This one couldn't be fused, so the crystal mine now has a surplus.

Finally, there are wood mines and stone mines. Now there are three level three mines and one level four mine.

Counting them all together, there are now nineteen mineral veins in the territory of the Dark Sky Clan.

After the Fire of Civilization is upgraded to Dark Gold, the upper limit of the territory's ability to accommodate mineral veins is doubled, and it can accommodate up to twenty-four mines.

There are now five spots left.

It seems like a lot, but it's really not much.

Not to mention anything else, there are quite a few rare mineral veins that Gu Yu wants to ingest.

Dragon steel, star silver, mithril, fine gold...these various resources are simply not enough.

Moreover, the quantity of energy crystal ore is still not enough.

Don't look at the fact that the Dark Sky Clan now has five giant energy crystal mines. The output of energy crystals has increased sharply from 714,000 to 1.134 million, increasing their income by 420,000 per week.

According to the current demand, it can indeed meet all consumption, and it is no longer a fiscal deficit.

But we should look at the problem from a developmental perspective.

The Ankong clan's population has tripled this time, and their daily consumption will inevitably increase significantly in the future.

In addition, there is not even a single fifth-level barracks in the territory. The cost of building and recruiting the fifth-level barracks in the future will be a huge expense.

There are higher-end barracks waiting behind, and this income is simply not enough.

Therefore, Gu Yu's desire for energy crystal mines is truly endless.

On the internal trading platform of Dark Holy Mountain, there are actually transactions of mineral veins, but the prices start at tens of millions.

For example, a giant energy crystal mine costs 50 million, so Gu Yu was persuaded to quit at that time.

What an international joke!

The giant energy crystal mine's saturated output per day is only 30,000 energy crystals, and the annual output is only 10 million.

Fifty million is equivalent to five years of production, and the total reserves of a giant energy crystal mine are generally around 100 million.

Gu Yu only spent 50 million to buy mines because his brain was broken.

If he had 50 million to buy various resources, R\u0026D investment, and develop territory, wouldn’t it be great for him?

Well, if he had.

However, you cannot buy ore, but you can sell ore.

Because there are two giant purified gas springs in the territory, and the orcs’ evil blood pollution has also been inexplicably eliminated.

Gu Yu's demand for crystals has dropped off a cliff.

The crystal mines he has on hand now include a giant one and a +2 one, and he can definitely sell one of them.

It's just that he doesn't know anything about the trading method of selling minerals. How to do it, he needs to find someone who knows the business.

These thoughts only flashed in Gu Yu's mind for a moment, and were quickly put aside by him.

The major demolition of Dark Night Castle is still going on, and Gu Yu has a lot to do.

Naturally, he did not forget to take away the fire of civilization in this territorial space.

Because Walpil has the authority to control the Fire of Civilization, he took action, and the Fire of Civilization was completely stripped away.

Then, the entire space collapsed completely, leaving only an empty castle in the outside world, without even a human figure.

When Gu Yu started to attack Dark Night Castle, he had already informed Mei Ninghua to retreat.

By the time he returned to the territorial space, the Sky City troops outside Frostwolf Fortress had already left.

After he contacted Mei Ninghua, Wang Dong and others, he felt relieved after confirming that they were on their way back.

Judging by the speed of Zeda's reinforcements, by the time they arrive at the Frostwolf Fortress, Sky City's troops will have already returned to the territorial space.

Since Mei Ninghua and others were not in danger, Gu Yu stopped paying attention.

There are still a lot of things waiting for him now.

The Ankong tribe increased by 50,000 to 60,000 people at once, and the total population directly exceeded 80,000.

The Dark Sky Orcs, whose population had been greatly reduced due to war losses, once again became the largest tribe, with a population of nearly 40,000.

The dark goblins have also become the second largest clan, with a population of more than 20,000.

As for the gopher scouts, they now have a population of more than 6,000. They fell to third place in just two days after starting their job.

However, with the rat race's reproductive capacity, it is likely that it won't be long before they can once again hit the position of being the largest race in terms of population.

There are so many people who have surrendered this time, and it will take a long time for the fire of civilization to convert them all.

Fortunately, the goblin tribe and the orc tribe have their own light of civilization, and the leaders of the two tribes can transform themselves.

The efficiency is naturally much slower than Gu Yu's personal transformation, but Gu Yu doesn't need to worry anymore.

If he had enough time, Gu Yu wouldn't mind doing the transformation for them, but he really didn't have time now.

Just now, Liu Qing contacted him.

When Gu Yu saw Liu Qing looking for him, he thought something had happened to Mei Ninghua's returning troops and was very nervous.

Fortunately, Liu Qing said that everything went well with Meninghua, but Tyrande had something important to do, and he hoped he would come to the Sky City.

Gu Yu's heart moved and he vaguely guessed some possibilities. He immediately opened the Starry Sky Gate and rushed to the Sky City.

As soon as he exited the portal, he saw Tyrande standing not far away, with excitement and... sweetness on his face?

Gu Yu was a little unsure of his judgment. He always felt that this dignified and elegant Priestess of the Moon seemed like a girl in love with her spring.

Liu Qing, Jarod, Maiev and other heroes were also there, and they immediately came up to meet Gu Yu when they saw them.

"Malfurion? Illidan's brother? Your best friend?"

In the main hall, Gu Yu did not expect Tyrande to tell him a past incident.

It turns out that Illidan also has an older brother, Malfurion. They were both childhood sweethearts and playmates of Tyrande who grew up together.

Later, Tyrande became the leader of the priestesses of the moon god Elune, and had a distinguished status in the Night Clan.

Illidan made a big mistake and was sealed in the forbidden area of ​​the Night Castle. He escaped not long ago, but his temperament changed drastically.

And Malfurion chose the natural way of the druid, became a jungle guardian, and left the night elves.

Tyrande had not heard from Malfurion for a long time, and she had been thinking about him very much.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, Malfurion actually contacted Tyrande to tell him something.

He has been exploring a secret realm called the Emerald Dream for so many years, and it was not until recently that he sensed the devil's aura that he returned to the main world.

Sure enough, not long after, the secret forest area guarded by Malfurion was invaded by demons.

Malfurion led the guardians of the jungle to fight against the demon army and wiped out most of the enemies.

But some enemies still broke out of the forest and fled to another forbidden land.

When the story came to this point, Gu Yu actually didn't have much sense of involvement, he was just a listener.

He was more thinking about how far the relationship between Tyrande and Malfurion would develop.

Just look at Tyrande's expression of joy when she mentions Malfurion, it's obvious that the relationship is more than just friends!

Tyrande called him here today just to give him some dog food, right?

Gu Yu was still listening attentively, but in his mind he was already making up all kinds of bloody plots.

However, what Tyrande said next immediately attracted Gu Yu's great attention.

When Malfurion was fighting the demon army, Illidan suddenly appeared and helped him kill the demon.

This demon is none other than Illidan's old rival, Mannoroth.

The leader of the escaping army was the missing Gul'dan and his direct troops.

Illidan did not come alone, he also brought a swamp army composed of gnolls and lizardmen.

When he learned that Gul'dan had escaped, he immediately stated that he would lead his troops to hunt him down.

Malfurion had no reason to stop his own brother, so he let Illidan's troops pass.

After the war, Malfurion still had to guard the secret forest, so he could not leave.

But he also missed Tyrande very much, so he used a secret method to contact her, hoping that she could go and see him.

After listening to Tyrande's narration, many doubts in Gu Yu's mind were solved.

For example, which demon was killed, leading to the collective liberation of the orcs.

Another example is where Gul'dan went and why Vorpil couldn't contact him.

There was also the whereabouts of Illidan, which he finally figured out.

No wonder Illidan never went to trouble the demon army. It turned out that he went to the secret realm of the forest.

But, what on earth did Gul'dan do? What was Illidan doing in the secret forest again?

Gul'dan went directly through the teleportation array, and it was impossible for Illidan to track him.

In other words, Illidan entered the secret realm of the forest through another way.

And will Gul'dan and Illidan have the same purpose?

The more Gu Yu knew, the more doubts he found. It seemed that the only way to go was in person.

Malfurion told Tyrande about the entrance to the secret forest, which was located in a certain area of ​​the Fallen Star Swamp.

Before Gu Yu could ask further about the specific search method, he received a message from Baili Xuance.

"Chief, I found the entrance to a secret realm. Illidan's troops may have entered here."

Baili Xuance said softly in the sound transmission stone.

The entrance was very secret, and if Illidan hadn't entered with a large number of people, he wouldn't have found it so easily.

"Tyrande, I think I know where the entrance is."

Gu Yu smiled, glanced at Tyrande, and opened the Starry Sky Gate again.

In Fallen Star Swamp, in the wild near Black Fang Castle, a portal quietly opened.

Gu Yu and Tyrande came out of the door.

"Yes, the entrance to the secret realm discovered by Baili Xuance is in the same area as the location Malfurion directed you to. If nothing else, that's where we are looking for."

Gu Yu looked at the map and then said to Tyrande.
