However, this was impossible.
After the Fire Elemental Lord Magmasa gained a new identity, his strength immediately increased.
He stretched out his flaming tentacles, which grew longer and longer until they formed two fire whips that swept towards the players. This type of attack was something that Lu Li had never seen before. It was obvious that the System had increased the difficulty of killing him. At the very least, Lu Li didn't have the guts to challenge him to a duel.
"I've seen this monster before. It shouldn't be too strong. Feng Shao, you go and pull the Boss. World's Best, you go and pull the guards," Lu Li said.
As it turned out, the Boss in the Stronghold was indeed weak.
Apart from the two fire whips that were a bit of a threat to everyone, there was nothing else to write home about.
However, this Boss had a lot of HP. If it was a normal guild, they probably wouldn't have the time to empty its HP bar.
After spending more than half an hour, Ruling Sword finally killed the Fire Elemental. The System announced that Ruling Sword had successfully obtained the first Stronghold in the game and that they now had the rights to the land.
Lu Li didn't want to waste time, so he just named it Ruling Land.
The entire Stronghold battle had cost a lot of potions, as well as eight chariots and a goddess. The total value was over 1000 gold coins. Unfortunately, the monsters here only gave some EXP and didn't drop anything after they died. It was only when the System announced that Ruling Sword had obtained the rights to the Stronghold that he felt a little bit of comfort.
After the battle, the scene changed and the Instance Dungeon became reality.
A large number of players gathered around the outskirts of Ruling Land. Many of them were scouts sent by the major guilds. After they heard that Ruling Sword was attacking the Stronghold, they all paid attention. Unfortunately, the Stronghold battle was equivalent to Instance Dungeon mode, so even if they wanted to cause trouble, they couldn't do anything.
At this time, they could finally see the prototype of a Basic Stronghold.
Although it was dilapidated, they could already see the outline of a town from afar. If it was allowed to continue to develop, it might even surpass Astrana in Grey Valley.
Sakura Memories had already transferred the ownership of the Stronghold to Lu Li, so he had all the rights.
First, he set up a rule that only members of the guild could enter. This prevented people from spying on him and provoking him. At least before the walls were repaired, Lu Li wouldn't let anyone have the opportunity to understand his Stronghold.
"This wall seems to be ready for use after some repairs." Genhao San had already rushed over.
Water Fairy had also arrived at the same time. It was a pity that the female tycoon could not participate in the battle, so she came to understand the situation. As one of the few large guilds in the game, both Drizzle Court and Peerless City would definitely participate in the battle for the Stronghold.
Lu Li shook his head without hesitation. "Forget it. We can knock it down easily."
"You can consider using ores," the female tycoon suggested. She was indeed a tycoon. Even if it was the cheapest low-end ores, it would still cost a lot of money to build a wall like this. At least, Ruling Sword couldn't afford it.
"Forget about the ores. Primary Strongholds can only use stones and wood. Third Brother, get someone to mine for stones. I want big ones. Also, get Boss Shen to help purchase them." Lu Li pointed to the damaged walls and said, "Knock down all of these. Keep the big stones and use the small ones to pave the roads."
"Our Trade Profession players can also help," Water Fairy said.
"Thank you so much. When you guys take down the Stronghold, I'll get people to help too," Lu Li said sincerely. Ruling Sword's current Trade Profession players were much weaker than Drizzle Court. If there were people from Drizzle Court to help, then the time to prepare the stones would be reduced to a terrifying degree.
"Just let us participate in the construction. It'll be good practice," Water Fairy said with a face full of envy.
Some things couldn't be solved with money. She didn't expect the title of the first Stronghold to fall into Ruling Sword's hands. This new club was becoming more and more impressive.
"If you're willing, you're welcome to participate," Lu Li said.
"Then I'll go and gather people. When the time comes, don't complain about having too many people." Water Fairy happily left. Participating in the construction of Drizzle Court not only allowed them to learn experience, but also meant that Lu Li trusted them. After all, the design of the Stronghold was mainly to defend against enemies.
"Third Brother, wait," Lu Li called out to Genhao San who was about to leave.
"What?" Genhao San couldn't wait to get to work. This was the first Stronghold in the game. He didn't even dare to think about it when he was in Star Moon Union.
"Third Brother, you really think of yourself as a butler. Can't you just find someone to assign these tasks to?" Lu Li was quite speechless. "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's suitable. Can you give me some advice?"
"What is it? You can decide it yourself." Genhao San didn't think there was anything wrong with being a butler.
"I'm going to make a policy to attract high-levelled casual Trade Profession players. Our Trade Profession players aren't that good," Lu Li said. There were 80,000 combat players, but less than 10,000 of them could actually fight. Of the 20,000 Trade Profession players, most of them were just playing the game casually.
Ruling Sword had 100,000 players, but that didn't mean that they were really strong.
"What kind of rules? It's a good thing to attract high-level Life Profession players," Genhao San immediately said with interest.
"We'll let Life Profession players use their own works to exchange for housing in the Stronghold," Lu Li said with some difficulty. "A Basic Stronghold can only build a maximum of 1000 houses. If we split a portion, our people will be able to get even less."
"I understand …" Genhao San sighed. "It's a bit of a dilemma."
Everyone had taken down the Stronghold, and they might still have to fight for it in the future. However, the 100,000 players of Ruling Sword weren't animals, nor were they puppets. They all had their own thoughts and needs, and the Stronghold had to reflect their interests.
If Lu Li really used the Stronghold they had taken to bribe the high-level Life Profession players, they would definitely be disappointed.
As such, they had to find a balance.
The two of them discussed for a while, then pulled Wander and Cat Dad over. Everyone finally came up with a final plan.
Half of the 1000 houses would be taken out first, and a portion would be given to the Elite group. Those who had the most strength and contribution would be given priority. Ruling Sword only had 400 to 500 Elite members, so 100 houses was already quite a lot. The remaining 400 houses would continue to be distributed, mainly to the combat members.
300 houses would be given to the Life Profession players. Because of their profession, they needed a place to work.
