But his smile faded slightly after he saw the activation conditions.

Heart of the Ancient Builder—he had just seen that name in Severin's loot list.

Although the drop rate is as high as 50%, you may still not get it if you don't use the Eye of Probability to specify the drop.

He originally intended to reserve the opportunity to use the Eye of Probability for the top-tier job change book for generals.

Fourth-tier and flying units.

Lin Feng remained silent for a moment, then sighed silently. The fourth-tier skill book had a higher priority.

After the fourth job advancement, the level cap breaks through forty, and the Destiny Awakening becomes permanent. The qualitative change in one's own strength is the true foundation. Although flying units are tempting, their priority can only be put on the back burner.

First, ask Director Zhou if he has any. If the General Administration warehouse happens to have one, then there's no need to worry.

If not, then you can only give up the flying barracks and save the Eye of Probability for the fourth job advancement book.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts, shifted his gaze from the silver dragon egg's panel, and looked again at the upgrade prompt floating above the territory core.

The silver dragon is now bound, and the conditions for becoming a territory guardian beast have been met.

He took a deep breath and pressed the "upgrade" confirmation button.

The brightness of the core golden light suddenly doubled, and the entire council hall was enveloped in a dazzling warm golden light.

【All conditions for Fenghuo County to be upgraded to a city-level territory have been met, resources have been deducted, upgrade confirmed】

【Territory detected is about to be upgraded to city level. Territory resources are plentiful. Should we construct a city wall with a perimeter of sixty li and a purple-quality city gate?】

Lin Feng stared at the prompt for a while, but did not confirm it immediately.

He quickly went through it in his mind. Hangu Pass was indeed a major military stronghold of Fenghuo Territory, with most of the troops stationed there. But Fenghuo County was the real foundation. The barracks were here, the wonders were here, and the core was here.

Even if Hangu Pass is lost, as long as Fenghuo County remains, he can redeploy, reorganize, and rebuild the defense line.

Sixty miles of city walls, a high-quality purple gate—this investment is worthwhile.

"Build it." A thought formed in my mind.

The core of the territory trembled violently, and four golden beams shot out from the core at the same time, piercing through the walls and flying rapidly in four directions.

They pierced the night sky like four golden arrows shot into the heavens, each landing precisely six miles in a straight line from the four city gates of Fenghuo County.

The moment it landed, a burst of light erupted, and four city gate towers rose simultaneously, each fifty meters high.

Twenty meters below is a heavy gate, its purple-quality panels as thick as a wall, with intricate protective runes appearing on its surface.

Above the gate is a 20-meter-high city wall, built of bluestone.

Further up is a three-story city gate tower, ten meters high, with upturned eaves and corners, a wooden and stone structure, and a roof covered with bluish-gray tiles. Copper bells hanging from the eaves sway gently in the night breeze, making a soft tinkling sound.

Subsequently, the city walls on both sides began to extend from the city gate tower to both sides, encircling the city gate and forming a semi-enclosed killing space.

The walls of the barbican are slightly shorter than the main walls, but no less thick. The gates of the barbican are also of purple quality and are of the same specifications as the main gates.

Finally, the sixty-mile-long blue-quality city wall connects sequentially between the four city gate towers, bringing the entire land together into a complete circle.

The city wall meanders and undulates, winding through the hills and rivers, completely enclosing 10,000 mu of fertile land surrounding Fenghuo County.

Even so, there are still more than 100,000 mu of vacant land waiting to be developed in the outer city area.

【City-level territory upgrade complete. The following structures have been constructed: a 60-mile circumference outer city wall, 4 purple-quality main city gates, and 4 purple-quality barbican gates. Resources have been deducted. Please name the territory's guardian beast.】

Lin Feng was taken aback when he received the system notification.

He stood by the window, where the moonlight shone brightly on the open space in front of the council hall, casting a silvery glow. Further on, the outline of the newly built city wall stretched along the horizon.

He thought for a moment, his gaze lingering on the point where the city wall met the moonlight.

"Where the flames of war rage, snow falls on the dragon's scales."

He read it aloud softly, then said, "Since it's the guardian beast of the Beacon Fire Territory, let's name it Beacon Snow."

【Naming successful. The territory guardian beast, Silver Dragon, is now bound to "Fengxue".】

Lin Feng casually clicked on the conditions for upgrading a city-level territory to a main city.

There was only one requirement: to build a complete high-level wonder. He wasn't surprised; after being promoted to Gold Seat Lord, the General Bureau's database had been opened to him, and he had already read this part of the information.

The changes from city level to main city are not significant; the main difference is that the number of soldiers in the special barracks doubles.

He closed the panel and sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar aura awakening in the distance. It was Silver Dragon Beacon Snow, slowly stretching its body in a corner of the outer city.

He leaped out of the window and landed on the open ground outside the council chamber.

A night breeze blew in my face, carrying the scent of grass and earth, and the air still held a trace of warmth from the burst of golden light.

He looked up towards the west gate of the outer city, where a huge, silvery-white figure swept over the city wall, its wings spread, obscuring half the moon.

Then it folded its wings and swooped down, landing on an open ground fifty meters away from Lin Feng. The ground trembled slightly when it landed, and the wind it stirred made his robes flutter behind him.

Feng Xue's body was much larger than he had expected, with a torso length of about thirteen meters, a tail length of ten meters, a wingspan of thirty-two meters when spread out, and a body width of nine meters when the wings were folded.

Its front paws are four meters long, its hind paws are five meters long, and its shoulder height is six meters when it stands on all fours. When a person stands upright, it can reach thirteen meters.

The silvery-white scales gleamed coldly in the moonlight, each one like a meticulously polished silver sheet, with slightly upturned edges, presenting a sharp yet smooth curve.

Its eyes were pale gold with vertical pupils, and it was looking down at him, quiet and docile. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lin Feng stepped forward, and Feng Xue lowered her head, gently touching his shoulder with the tip of her nose, her warm breath brushing against his face.

Lin Feng reached out and placed his palm on the scales on the side of its neck. The scales felt warm and hard, and he could feel the subtle pulses between the scales under his fingertips.

Feng Xue tilted her head, letting out a low, soft groan that seemed to roll from deep within her throat, and then rubbed her forehead against the back of his hand.

A smile finally appeared on Lin Feng's lips.

"Alright." He patted Fengxue's neck. "Go to the West Gate and wait for me. I'll come find you later."

Feng Xue nodded, then suddenly spread its wings, its huge body rising from the ground, creating a whirlwind, and flew towards the west gate of the outer city.

Lin Feng stood still, watching the silvery-white figure streak across the night sky, leaving a long, thin silver tail in the moonlight, before disappearing in the direction of the city wall.
