1155 of them are his racial units.

The remaining 2045 are of the other races.

In detail: 1000 skeleton soldiers, 100 skeleton commanders, 50 skeleton mages, 464 minotaurs, 10 minotaur priests, 316 goblins, and 105 fox-kin.

Current gold: Around 32k.

Currently average daily income: Around 20k gold.
Of those, the vast majority came from products of the goblin farms.

…

At a glance, the territory is already pretty strong.

If things keep on developing at his speed, then even the major factions of the Chaos Forest will have a hard time dealing with the threat posed by him before long.

Of course, if Zhang Nu wants to match himself up against major nations or great empires, that's not something that can happen very soon.

However, if those top superpowers wanted to deal with Zhang Nu, then that's also a very costly matter for them as well.

It's because the Darkness Valley is deep within the Chaos Forest.

No matter how strong those nation level armies might be, they'd still have a very hard time going through all the countless rough terrain, hostile environments, and restless natives that they would have to in order to reach Zhang Nu.

Just the supply and costs would be terrifying to behold.

Thus, Zhang Nu isn't actually worried about any threat that they might pose.

What he needs to do now is just to continue developing and expanding.
To make his Demon King Army even stronger and to start conquering the nearby factions step by step.

He doesn't have that many elites within his main army, so Zhang Nu spent 10k gold and directly level up 10 soldiers to high soldiers.

Then, he spent 1k gold to add 200 more laborers before then spending 10k gold to raise those 200 laborers to high laborers.

Zhang Nu did a quick comparison.

[Draconian Laborer].
Level 1 Normal unit.
15 HP, 15 MP, 1 Strength, 1 Constitution, 1 Agility, 1 Will.
Construction lv2, Collection lv2, Smithing lv1, Hunting lv1, Crafting lv1.

[High Draconian Laborer].
Level 2 Normal unit.
25 HP, 25 MP, 4 Strength, 4 Constitution, 4 Agility, 4 Will.
Construction lv4, Collection lv3, Smithing lv3, Hunting lv2, Crafting lv2.

High laborers have their construction skill up to level 4.

This makes them more capable of building more complicated structures.

High laborers' smithing skills rose from level 1 to level 3.
This is equivalent to very strong smithing techniques, allowing them to create high quality equipment.

The total laborer numbers have finally broken 1000.

These kinds of basic production units are extremely important.

Although they can't directly construct structures with special abilities like the House of Skeletons, Minotaur Camp, or Towers of Grudges, the territory also needs far more than just those structures.

A large number of basic structures also has great effects for developing the territory.

Besides that, draconian laborers are also responsible for massive amounts of material transport, wood chopping, collection, and crafting work, so he can't skim on them.

He had spent a huge portion of his gold again.

Although his territory does have a high daily income and Zhang Nu himself is definitely one of the Demon Kings with the highest income among them all, it's still not quite enough for the territory's development.
Thus, he needs to continue increasing his financial income.

At that moment, a draconian came with a report.

“My lord!”

“The herbal fields are ready for harvest!”

“The goblin slaves don't know how they should deal with such valuable herbs though!”
