The introduction of the Lightning Struck Wood was also very concise. It did not specify what this material was used for. This was also the reason why Gail himself lacked blueprints.

With the continuous development of the subsequent cities, it was possible to obtain various blueprints to synthesize various tools.

​​

He was not particularly anxious about such things. What was coming would eventually come.

He put the Lightning Struck Wood in his backpack and used it when he needed it in the future.

After all, this kind of high-grade material played a very important role in the later stages of the city's development.

At the same time, according to the current situation of the development of the major cities, high-grade materials were considered a rare resource. Currently, most of the common resources were middle-grade and low-grade resources. Even low-grade resources occupied most of them, Gail had already understood these points through the announcement's Chat Interface. He was also more or less clear about his current situation.

This would help him plan for the future development of the city.

As the protection period gradually weakened, many cities were facing the consequences of being attacked by monsters. Usually, they would only send out some messages asking for help.

However, no one would pay attention to them. Many had not even developed themselves, so how could they care about others.

If there were not enough benefits to support them, no one would be willing to use their own resources to help a person who had nothing to do with them.

Perhaps the person they were helping now might turn around and take over their city or do a series of things that would hurt them in the future.

In the city world, the only person one could trust was themselves.

Gail stopped thinking and said to Anna, "Go and gather the Drakonid guards and all the Elves. I have an announcement to make."

Hearing this, Anna nodded and went to carry it out.

It would take some time to gather them, so Gail opened the Skill Interface.

This time, the upgrade of the city had given him six Skills Points.

He carefully scanned the Skills Interface. So far, only two of the skills would be useful.

After confirming the Skills, he immediately awakened it without any hesitation.

[Mana Control Ability: Your control over the usage of Mana Points has increased. Mana cultivation speed +15%, Mana Power +10%.]

[Growth Rate: City resource refresh rate +10%, crop growth rate +15%.]

These two skills were currently used by Gail, especially the second skill, which was a permanent and sustainable bonus.

It was also one of the reasons why he chose to expand the area today.

As for the other skills, Gail had yet to choose what to awaken, so these two were enough for him to use at the moment.

After he expanded the area, he would make other plans for the remaining four Skill Points.

Very quickly, other than the Drakonids who were still working, the main forces in the other cities that had combat strength were all gathered.

"I called everyone here today to announce something."

"After these two days of decisions, I plan to expand the area today to increase the size of the city."

"Of course, there will be such actions in the future. I hope that everyone can be prepared for battle."

Gail's expression became serious.

When the Elves and the city guards, who were made up of Drakonids, heard Gail's words, their eyes revealed a very intense fighting spirit.

Among them, Anna and the Drakonids were the most obvious.

This was due to the fact that they had dragon blood. Dragons were born to love fighting, and they were also born to be battle experts.

The Drakonid guards were all wearing special armor, which Gail had prepared for them.

Everyone had an eager look on their faces.

Especially the Bright Moon Cat, who had never participated in a battle before. She was also very excited.

Gail was very satisfied with the morale.

"Anna, you stay in the city to prevent any accidents from happening."

Gail turned around and said to Anna.

He did not want to see the scene of the monster attack again, especially at such a crucial moment. He could not afford to make any mistakes.

As if he could see Anna's disappointment, Gail continued, "It is because of your ability that I am at ease to hand the entire city over to you. Don't let me down."

After saying that, he caressed Anna's hair.

"I will not disappoint you." Anna raised her slightly red smiling face and revealed a determined expression.

During these two days, Gail had handed over the city to Anna due to his cultivation. This could also be considered a test. The result was very unexpected. Anna had handled the matter very well and there was nothing wrong with it.

This was also the reason why he was at ease in handing the city over to Anna. In addition to the Cultivation Garden and the Elemental Tree in the city, Gail needed to arrange for people to stay and watch.

Anna was definitely a more qualified leader.

"Let's get ready to set off!"

Gail shouted loudly and walked in front of the team.

The group came to the edge of the city, and he opened the Expansion Interface.

There was also a scroll for a special area in his backpack. Gail did not intend to use it. He would not take the risk unless he had something huge in his hand.

Finally, his gaze fell on a building in a battle area.

As he thought, his finger touched it.

A mysterious area filled with fog slowly appeared in front of Gail and the others.

No one knew what was in the fog.

As long as one stepped into the fog, one would face two choices.

One could conquer the region and take everything in the region for themselves.

If one failed to conquer the region, one would receive a counterattack from the monsters. It would definitely bring a devastating blow to the development of the city.

Just like Victoria, who had come to look for Gail previously. It was the failure of the expansion that led to the subsequent series of events.

The area that needed to be expanded through battle also showed that there were dangers hidden within.

It was the same at the Night Castle that they had encountered last time.

Judging from the range of the mist, this area was much larger than the Night Castle.

This also meant that the dangers within could multiply, or even increase to even larger monsters!

One would not know would be behind the fog. There could be monsters with fangs waiting.

Gail checked everyone's equipment, and told them three things to pay attention to.

"Don't get separated in the fog."

"Be fully prepared for battle."

"Your mind must be alert at all times."

After this series of preparations, Gail led a group of people into the fog area.
