Don't think patrolling a territory was unnecessary. In fact, it was very necessary.
Many lords organized troops to patrol their own territories. There were precedents for this.
The main reason many lords' territories were destroyed was that they hadn't even noticed their territory had been invaded. By the time they realized it, it was already far too late.
This was no joke. It was the truth.
There were no system notifications for territorial invasions.
So lords could only discover and deal with them themselves. That was why patrol teams existed.
After resting for a while, Su Ye produced a new barracks model in his hand, a starlit building.
Fourth-Rank Barracks: Hall of Starlight!
"System, upgrade the Hall of Starlight!"
[Ding: Your Fourth-Rank Barracks, Hall of Starlight, has been upgraded into a God-Level Barracks: Temple of Stars!!]
"Hm? Temple of Stars?" Su Ye curiously looked at the model in his hand.
The former starlit structure had now become a resplendent galactic temple. Countless stars intertwined and revolved within it, blooming with billions of rays of light.
"Upgrade the Temple of Stars," Su Ye said in a deep voice as he looked at the model in his hand.
[Ding: Consuming Origin Crystal x100, your barracks, Temple of Stars, is now Level 2. You may view its detailed attributes yourself.]
Su Ye looked at the model in his hand, then checked the upgrade requirements. Origin Crystals, Gold Coins, and the rest were no different from other barracks upgrades. Only the required material was Star Seed.
"Forget it. The Valkyrie Temple has already been upgraded, so I might as well go all the way. Upgrade it to Level 3 first and get a Halo. System, use a Barracks Upgrade Card to upgrade the Temple of Stars." Without any hesitation, Su Ye chose to continue upgrading the Temple of Stars.
[Ding: Consuming one Barracks Upgrade Card, your barracks, Temple of Stars, is now Level 3. You may view its detailed attributes yourself.]
Su Ye directly checked the Temple of Stars' attributes.
Name: Temple of Stars Level: 3 Faction: Chaos Rank: God Level Recruitment: 30/30 (Daily) Gold Coin: 1 Gold Coin (Affected by traits, fixed!) Halo: Starry Glory for Eternity. Upgrade: Origin Crystal x10000, Gold Coin x10,000, Star Seed x10! ...
Su Ye let out a breath and looked at the barracks model in his hand before checking the Halo produced by the Temple of Stars.
Starry Glory for Eternity: Troops recruited by the Temple of Stars would not truly die. Like stars, they would endure through the ages. Even if they fell, they would return once more at the Temple of Stars.
"Another Resurrection Armor Halo." Su Ye looked at the Temple of Stars' Halo.
Su Ye finally understood. The first Halo condensed by a God-Level Barracks either enhanced the troops' strength or gave them a Resurrection Armor.
As for the Supreme Protocol of the Technology Side, it belonged to the Technology Side. Strictly speaking, she was fundamentally different from barracks of the Mystical Side.
"Let's recruit first and see." Su Ye looked at the barracks in his hand and directly placed it in his territory.
Su Ye's territory darkened. Endless starlight shone brilliantly as it appeared within his territory, then transformed into light and merged into the Temple of Stars that had just risen from the earth.
"Looks like we have new companions again," Lilith said with a smile.
Istar nodded, then walked toward the Temple of Stars without hesitation.
Thalys, Pangilia, Keisha, and the Sky Patrol Valkyrie—Olides, who had just been recruited—also gathered around.
Su Ye stood at the entrance of the Temple of Stars and looked at the structure before him. Countless starry lights shimmered, while murals of innumerable stars emerged within the palace.
Those murals seemed alive. The tranquil starry sky and the incomparably brilliant light illuminated Su Ye's territory.
There was a hint of curiosity in Olides's eyes. She now wore only a thin layer of white gauze. Her golden armor and weapons had vanished, and even her Pegasus companion had been released into the territory rather than kept by her side.
Keisha stood beside her. After all, as a member of the Order Faction, Olides naturally felt more affinity toward Keisha, who also belonged to the Order Faction.
Thalys was the same, of course, but Thalys had a detached personality, so Olides began talking with Keisha instead.
"New companions?" Olides asked Keisha.
Keisha nodded and led Olides behind Su Ye.
Su Ye looked at the six Hero Units behind him. "Everyone's here? Let's go welcome your new companions."
Su Ye smiled, then entered the Temple of Stars.
The inside of the Temple of Stars resembled an endless starry sky. Beneath their feet seemed to be the empty depths of the universe, while countless points of light shone within the grand hall like stars.
Countless stars revolved and intertwined chaotically across the dome, each one blooming with majestic radiance.
At the center of the hall was a rotating black hole, incomparably deep, as though it could Devour everything.
[Ding: Consume 30 Gold Coins to conduct today's recruitment?]
"Recruit." Su Ye looked at the black hole before him, anticipation in his eyes.
Countless stars cast down their light, covering the entire hall. Dreamlike starlight continuously intertwined before scattering throughout the hall.
The next moment, countless red rays of Evil and Chaos intertwined within the hall. Chaotic, Distortion-filled, Evil light continuously wove together and shifted.
Figures appeared throughout the hall. At their head stood a woman in a long white dress. Her fair, supple skin gave her a fragile appearance, but her breathtakingly beautiful face bore a blood-red full moon mark. Her silver-white hair fell casually to her waist, and her cold, exquisite face carried an unworldly air.
"We pay respects to the Lord of Stars!!" A cool and ethereal voice rang out.
Su Ye looked at the troops kneeling on one knee before him, surprise in his eyes. "Rise."
As he looked at the newly recruited troops, apart from the leading Hero Unit, every one of the other troops wore blood-red armor and bore a blood-red crescent moon mark between her brows.
They were completely different from what Su Ye had imagined.
In Su Ye's view, although the Temple of Stars belonged to the Chaos Faction, the troops it recruited should not have been like this.
They were filled with Evil, Chaos, and Omen-like auras.
The source of that aura came from the leading Hero Unit.
Of course, it was not as though the Chaos Faction could not recruit such beings. But for the Temple of Stars to recruit them felt somewhat out of place.
Still, Su Ye knew that the Chaos Faction was divided into three major branches: Chaotic Neutral, Chaotic Evil, and Chaotic Order. The Order Faction and Chaos Faction also had their own branches.
"Chaotic Evil?" Su Ye looked at the troops he had recruited. This was the first time he had recruited truly Chaotic Evil troops.
They carried auras of Chaos, Evil, and Omen.
