Chapter 445: 445: Summoning the Clan
This point is quite troublesome, but there is a chance, as generally planes with supernatural powers do possess such materials, though finding and collecting them is somewhat bothersome.
This matter isn’t urgent, anyway. He still has over twenty years to collect them, so he can take his time.
He dispatched four Navy Marine Corps squads to explore the island while the rest continued to transform the camp. According to Lin Xiao’s plan, they were likely to stay on this plane for a very long time, possibly until the end of this major course, at least more than twenty years.
During such a long period, it was essential to establish a well-equipped base, not only for comfortable living but also to defend against potential dangers.
He always remembered that many Indigenous Tribes existed on this plane, and establishing a Spatial Waymarker would undoubtedly be opposed by the Plane Will, inevitably facing attacks from these tribes. Thus, having a strong base was of great necessity.
Once the exploration team has surveyed the area around the camp for over thirty kilometers, Lin Xiao and his girlfriend decided to summon their Clan.
The Clan had already been summoned earlier and placed into one-time use storage items, waiting to be released.
Shen Yuexin summoned her core Clan, an Advanced Race of Thunder Wing Man, beings with wings spanning over ten meters and bodies encircled by thunder, possessing the power to control thunder.
When the Thunder Wing Man reaches Rank 6 at the transcendent level, they become even more potent Sky Wrath Magicians with the ability to control thunder.
With flying units added to thunder magic, her Clan is stronger than the typical Sub-legendary Race.
At the very least, Sub-legendary Races that aren’t magic-based or flying usually can’t win against them.
An Advanced Race only takes up four population slots, so with a thousand slots, she could summon two hundred fifty Thunder Wing Men—all her summoned Thunder Wing Men were Rank 6 Sky Wrath Magicians and above, including twenty Rank 7 Sky Wrath Guards and two Rank 8 Legendary Lords of Wrath.
This was indeed a very powerful force; in direct combat, it might even be stronger than Lin Xiao’s Naval Marine Corps squad and Flying Snake No. combined, especially with two Rank 8 Legendary Lords of Wrath.
Specializing in the Race Talent of the power of thunder, combined with the profession of thunder-based magicians, and ascending to Legendary level, the Lords of Wrath’s explosive power could be incredibly fearsome.
Thunder itself signifies high burst damage, and at the Legendary rank, there’s hardly a Legendary being of the same rank that can match their burst damage.
Perhaps a prepared Legendary Mage could compete, but in a head-on clash, they would fall short of the Lords of Wrath.
This type of flying unit acts as an exceptional Air Reconnaissance Force. Lin Xiao organized a squadron, composed of two Rank 7 Sky Wrath Guards and ten Sky Wrath Magicians, assembling four such teams and ordering them to catch up with the earlier dispatched Marine squads to continue exploration together.
Cooperation between ground and air units significantly enhances efficiency and safety.
Having released his girlfriend’s Clan, naturally, Lin Xiao’s own Clan needed to be released too.
He threw a one-time use spatial artifact into the air, activated it, and dazzling white light, like a swift-moving spirit snake, quickly wove through the air, forming a massive Array of Light on the ground. Accompanied by a wave of spatial fluctuation, an enormous figure of a Dragon head and body emerged from within.
This creature stood fifteen meters tall, with a tail nearly twenty meters long, covered in scales as if made of gold, a dragon head that was fierce yet majestic, and a pair of thick, twisting draconic horns. Its robust dragon body exuded a sense of power. A row of sharp dorsal spines stretched from its back to the tail, resembling a battering ram, and two massive spikes rose from its back into the sky like a pair of wings, imparting a magnificent and powerful appearance.
Even Shen Yuexin, upon seeing his core Clan for the first time, was surprised, prompting her to ask:
“This is your core Clan of the Naga Tribe? But it seems quite different from the Naga; has this Naga experienced a mutation and ascended to a Sub-legendary Race?”
Lin Xiao took her hand and smiled:
“No, it’s not a Sub-legendary Race.”
“Not a Sub-legendary? Impossible, a higher Race couldn’t possibly be so…”
Her voice abruptly stopped, her mouth slightly agape in astonishment, she suddenly revealed a rare expression of shock and asked:
“Could it be, is this a Legendary Race?”
No sooner had she spoken than it seemed she realized something and quickly asked:
“I’ve never seen this form of Legendary Race before. Is this a new Legendary Race you’ve discovered?”
Lin Xiao nodded his head:
“Yes, it’s a brand-new Legendary Race, which I’ve named Asura Naga.”
“Asura Naga, that’s very fitting!”
His girlfriend’s face showed a sincere smile as she clasped his hand in response:
“Those who create new Legendary Races among the Sons of the Divine Realm are destined to become legends themselves. Congratulations to you,”
He gently pinched her small hand and held it tighter, chuckling as he said,
“When I become a legend, that will be when I formally ask your father for your hand in marriage.”
His words took his girlfriend by surprise, causing her delicate and exquisitely beautiful face to suddenly flush with a shy redness.
One after another, the legendary Supreme Naga Lords walked out from the Teleportation Array. It took thirty of them to finally stop, taking up a total population of six hundred.
But these were all Rank 8 legendary Supreme Naga Lords. Even just thirty of them could easily crush his girlfriend’s force of a thousand Thunder Wings.
The Lord of Wrath’s thunder spells might be fierce, but the Supreme Naga, with their perfectly inherited and enhanced Dragon Clan’s bloodline and talent, possessed an unimaginable resistance. Even the Lord of Wrath’s explosive power couldn’t trouble them.
After the thirty enormous Supreme Naga Lords stepped aside, pressure filling the Navy Marine Corps, the Teleportation Array lit up with a burst of starlight that turned into a star mist enveloping the whole array. Silhouettes taller than the average man emerged from it.
One hundred Star Spirits of Rank 6 or above, including twenty Rank 7 Star Spirits accompanied by eighty of Rank 6.
Speaking of which, Lin Xiao had actually profited from this. Previously, when he summoned the Star Spirits, they were Wise Goblins, just a Medium Race, taking only two population slots each.
Now that the Wise Goblins had transformed into Sub-legendary Star Spirits, using up ten population slots each, he effectively gained eight hundred population slots for free.
Next were fifty members of the Crimson Furnace Clan. Although they were an Advanced Race with formidable talents and individual combat power, they could have been the core race nurtured by other Sons of the Divine Realm. However, in Lin Xiao’s hands, their luster was completely overshadowed by the formidable Supreme Nagas and Star Spirits, relegating them to a support role.
Lin Xiao wanted the fifty Crimson Furnace members mainly for their forging talent. Building a base, they might eventually conquer the Natives, and in preparation for arming the Natives, they would surely need a large quantity of weapons and Armor. Without external support, they would have to be self-sufficient and forge their own.
Compared to Supreme Nagas, Shen Yuexin favored the stunningly attractive Star Spirits even more. Girls tend to like pretty things, and most female Sons of the Divine Realm chose Elves or Half-Elves as their core races for their good looks.
One after another, the various races were summoned, totaling over four hundred in number. The once empty base finally had some life in it.
It’s just that the thirty Asura Nagas took up quite a bit of space. Their height of over ten meters and tails stretching beyond twenty meters made them larger than typical dragons. Merely thirty of them occupied more space than the nearly four hundred other races combined.
Lin Xiao assigned them their respective tasks. Thunder Wings were tasked with air patrols nearby since they could fly.
The Crimson Furnace Clan was put to work at the forge, which was perfect since they had collected a large amount of mineral materials on the way, only waiting for the patrol teams to find an iron mine on the island to get started.
The Supreme Nagas were split in half, one half stationed at the base and the other half sent to fish in the sea.
Feeding so many races was a big problem; the thirty Asura Nagas were super gluttonous, with a very high food demand. Without self-reliance, they’d all starve to death.
The Star Spirits too were divided, half began processing the magic sapphires collected on the road, grinding them into powder to prepare magic ink.
The other half started building the base’s defense system, enchanting walls and weapons forged by the Crimson Furnace Clan. Some directly crafted Magic Items using treasured minerals and Magic materials collected along the way.
As all the races got down to work, the base entered a bustling state of development, changing almost daily.
In less than two short months, the entire base underwent earth-shaking changes.
All one hundred Star Spirits were Mages. Although they had transformed from Wise Goblins into Star Spirits, changing their race, their Mage profession remained the same. They completely inherited the previous Mage professional levels and were now several times stronger due to the Star Spirits’ potent spellcasting Talent. Combining their racial talents with the Mage profession, the Star Spirits at the same level were much more powerful than when they were Wise Goblins.
Not to mention, there was a full-scale improvement in Mana capacity and casting speed. The consumption of Mana and the difficulty of casting spells significantly decreased. And that’s saying nothing of their racial talents.
It can be said that the overlay of racial talents with the inherently powerful true Mage profession significantly boosted the Star Spirits’ real strength, almost as if adding an extra rank to their capability.
A Rank 6 Species with a Rank 6 Mage professional level, along with enhancements from the treasures of the Divine Realm, allowed them to compare to typical Rank 7 Mages.
When a hundred Star Spirit Mages joined forces to cast spells, they forcefully raised the ground of the entire base, which had a diameter of one kilometer, by about two meters. Within the walls, the ground strewn with rubble was magically leveled and compacted into flat land.
The key point was that the Star Spirits inherited the aesthetic tastes of two kinds of High Elves, and their highly regarded aesthetic influenced the construction. Whether it was the raised walls or buildings, even the ground compacted using the Mud to Stone Magic was intentionally carved with various attractive patterns and designs as it formed.
Even though it was just a rough draft, it was indeed much more pleasing than before.
Just as with the Elf Clan’s weapons and Armor, whether or not they were strong in defense, they had to be attractive.
Although Elf armor appeared thin, in reality, it boasted strong defense…
His girlfriend had a keen interest in this aspect, specially spending half a month to create a beautiful design for the entire base. She instructed the Star Spirits to follow the design in their construction, occasionally discussing with them how to make it look even better, full of zest.
Lin Xiao noticed this and occasionally joined her, taking an interest himself.
