Chapter 619: Chapter 373: A Visitor from Tai Xuan (4K)
Actually, the contract conditions of the Hall of Martial Souls are quite harsh, requiring the types of soldiers that have "awakened a complete self-awareness", mere sprouts of wisdom are not enough.
Such types of soldiers are already at the level of unit commanders in other territories, very few in number.
Of the hundred or so elites Shen Linglong brought over this time, only a few could talk.
But here in the Tianyuan Territory, every elite has awakened self-awareness, all of them can bind their souls within the Hall of Martial Souls.
It's just...
The total cost is a bit pricey!
To be fair, to record a soldier's soul light in the Hall of Martial Souls, it only costs 10 Soul Crystal Coins, which is actually not expensive. What's truly costly is the price of resurrection afterward. The price to recreate the body of a higher-level soldier is quite hefty.
However, the number of soldiers who have awakened self-consciousness in his Tianyuan Territory is plentiful!
A slot costs 10 Soul Crystals, wouldn't a thousand slots be ten thousand bucks?
He couldn't afford it yet.
The number of soldiers he could bind was not just a thousand.
"The biggest limitation of the Hall of Martial Souls is still the range of soul summoning, which greatly discounts the effectiveness of this building,"
Mu Yuan thought somewhat dissatisfied.
Even so, the power to resurrect could be considered an overpowered ability. If the Tianyuan Territory had the Hall of Martial Souls earlier, this battle would not have seen the sacrifice of elites.
Despite various restrictions, the Hall of Martial Souls could still be called a god-tier building for city defense.
"Speaking of which..."
Mu Yuan stroked his chin, "Tianyuan City managed to defend itself, the chief merit undoubtedly goes to the Staff of Divine Right, an epic building. Now, another god-tier defensive building... Could it be that I have a natural talent for defending?"
Although the Staff of Divine Right is actually an 'offensive' building, best at delivering super techniques from an ultra-long distance, such a strategic building was forcefully played as a defensive building by him.
It's all because the situation in his Tianyuan Territory was too difficult.
...
The next day, Mu Yuan got up quite late.
His soul was still weary, so he rested for a longer period of time on the advice of Lainey, the head of Tianyuan Hospital – it wasn't because he wanted to stay in bed.
Compared to yesterday, Tianyuan City has almost completely returned to normal today.
The corpses outside the city had been cleared away, the damaged sections of the city wall and most of the collapsed Miracle Buildings had already been rebuilt, if it weren't for the many large pits remaining outside the city, one would find it hard to imagine that there had just been a major battle that nearly obliterated the city yesterday.
"Yesterday's battle yielded a total of approximately 524.6 Soul Crystal Coins. On the one hand, part of the spoils of war was distributed to the allies, on the other hand, the total number of monsters annihilated in yesterday's battle was not as many as in the defense of Wolf Head Mountain."
The majority of the kills were high-order monsters.
Hence, the materials they obtained, including rare equipment, were not few. There were even some pieces of Excellence Equipment.
Most of this equipment was damaged.
Nevertheless, if they were to reforge these, they could forge hundreds of pieces of Rare Equipment and at least twenty or thirty pieces of Excellence Equipment.
The few intact pieces of Excellence Equipment were mostly provided by Dead Bone.
The weapons were mostly undamaged, and some full-body armors only had holes the size of a thumbnail, which shows that Dead Bone consciously preserved the high-level equipment.
Tianyuan's high-level equipment had always been in short supply, but this battle unexpectedly resulted in plenty of surplus.
"It turns out that war really does make one rich."
"Besides materials and equipment, there were also many Remnant Souls, which are also quite valuable and even more important to me,"
Mu Yuan stepped out of the room and saw the report Isloa had left on the table outside.
She had only made preliminary estimates yesterday, but today, the actual detailed data had all been counted, showcasing an extremely high efficiency.
"There are 4613 Remnant Souls of ordinary rank, 426 of Rare Rank, including a full 45 specified Rare Three-star Remnant Souls. Among them are high-value types like the silver pegasus, Royal Griffin, Shadow Assassin, and God Monster,"
"There are also as many as six Remnant Souls of Excellence Rank, probably dropped by fallen beings from the Legendary Realm... However, averaging it out, a legendary monster doesn't even drop a single Excellence Remnant Soul, that's too stingy."
"In addition, through the Sacrificial Black Coffin and the Soul Shrine, we have obtained over nine thousand common rank Remnant Souls, and a small amount of Rare rank Remnant Souls,"
The combined value of these Remnant Souls, equipment, and materials has already reached over ten thousand Soul Crystals, more than what Isloa estimated yesterday.
About that, it seems to be a gift from the high-order monsters.
Among them, the total number of common rank Remnant Souls, surpassing fourteen thousand, ranging from common one-star to common three-star, along with the most numerous Random Remnant Souls, Mu Yuan decided to utilize them all himself.
Over half of these were very insignificant 'Random Remnant Souls', 'Little Goblin Remnant Souls' and such.
But Mu Yuan didn't mind.
He cared only about quantity.
His Evo-power had grown indifferent to freshness. As long as they were soldiers, alive ones, they could make their own negligible but useful contributions to the fall of the Evolutionary Miracle.
Ordinary soldiers were after all worthless, without the platform like Lanxing, their value had already significantly diminished.
That's not quite accurate.
To be precise, in the outer regions of the Tai Xuan Alliance, the price of common rank Remnant Souls plummeted, one-star and two-star Remnant Souls were even hard to sell.
But within the heartland of the Tai Xuan Alliance, in the low-risk areas, the price of common rank Remnant Souls did not fall but rose instead.
This had nothing to do with Mu Yuan; he couldn't sell to the heartland. Even if he could, the cost of transportation or the border taxes would be much more than this.
Those Remnant Souls would have only piled up in the warehouse; now that he used them himself, he had indeed revitalized their value.
