Chapter 706： : When a territory upgrade is in progress

In addition to the territorial upgrade, he had to clear a field for the lord fortress, and by the way, he used the [Level 8 City Lord's Mansion Upgrade Certificate].

I think the eighth-level city master's mansion should become more solid.

After sitting on the bed and thinking for a while, he still got up. After putting on his equipment, he left the room along the stairs and came to the hall of the lord's fortress.

Seeing the three girls busy in the kitchen fell into deep thought...

About twenty minutes later, Zong Shen sat at the dining table with three different breakfasts in front of him.

Breakfasts made by Luna, Tasia, and Aishia respectively.

The three women stood by the side, looking at Zong Shen expectantly.

I don't know if this is an alternative Shura field!

In order to prevent the three girls from doing anything wrong, he could only eat one bite at a time.

The three breakfasts were solved in threes and fives.

Even with his physique, he felt a little distended belly, and his hunger and satiety were directly full.

"belch!"

After burping, he touched his stomach.

Seeing this, the three girls left with satisfaction.

At this point, except for Mariel who was still resting, everyone basically got up.

Vereesa didn't know where to hang out with Zoe Babbitt again.

Speaking of which, Zong Shen hadn't seen Xiao Heizi in the past two days, and the guy seemed to have slipped back into the poisonous swamp by himself.

However, its loyalty hasn't changed drastically, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

As the three women dispersed, Zong Shen slowly got up. He did not leave the fortress, but went directly to the fortress tower on the top floor.

The height here is equivalent to a dozen floors, enough to overlook most of the territory.

Except for a few epic and legendary buildings, most buildings in the realm are not this high.

Therefore, Zong Shen has an excellent observation field here, which is just suitable for him to upgrade his territory.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for him to come here after the Lord's Fortress was upgraded to level seven.

There are a total of four sentry towers in the Lord's Fortress. Except for the seventh floor of the main body, each of these four sentry towers is about 30 meters high. Every five or six meters, there will be a section of combat platform, which can arrange various defensive equipment on it.

The spiral steps can reach the top floor, which is also the commanding height of the fortress.

After Zong Shen has raised the lord fort to level 8, the height of the entire fort will be further increased.

He looked in all directions and could see the fifth-order city walls standing in circles.

There is also a matrix of defense towers distributed behind the city wall defense line, which also presents an echelon formation.

Although there are many thousands of defensive towers, it is not enough to directly surround them in a luxurious circle.

Therefore, after referring to the attack characteristics and range of various types of defense towers at various levels, the defense towers are arranged in the form of a combination of defense matrices, which can ensure the balance of defense inside and outside the territory.

The most important thing is that after the defense towers are formed into a matrix, they can cooperate with many types of different orders.

It is very important to realize the complementarity of the attack of the defense tower.

Because different defense towers have different advantages and disadvantages and characteristics, after a reasonable match, they can play a role of learning from each other's strengths.

Except for the two more bizarre [Tier 6 Flame Towers (Gold)], which were placed on the periphery, the other defensive arrow towers were all within the city wall circle.

The characteristics of the two towers of flames are rather strange, and they tend to be "melee towers".

Not only can it be retracted, but it can also rotate and breathe fire, just like the legendary "Roman torch".

When there is an enemy within the range, it can love magic circles.

The characteristics of this kind of defensive tower are destined to be placed on the periphery.

Zong Shen didn't know how long they could keep them, anyway, one was placed in the north, and the other was placed in the south, both about four or five hundred meters away from the outermost city wall.

That position can be covered by most of the turret matrix in the first circle.

In addition, after the defense of the territory has been shrunk, the defense towers in the central circle can basically take care of most of the area, which greatly increases the attack density of the defense towers.

But most areas of living, commercial, agricultural, industrial areas will be exposed.

Some key buildings have been relocated to the central area to ensure that basic wartime production capacity will not be stagnant during defensive challenges. .

As for the farming and pastoral areas, it doesn't matter.

All the cattle and sheep that had survived in the paddock were slaughtered.

Anyway, there's a big ranch on standby at Mr. Mars's.

As for agriculture, there is no need to worry. The farming of the territory is already in a blank state.

The [Agricultural Tower (Purple)], which is responsible for guarding the agricultural area, has been moved to the side of the lord's fortress.

In the courtyard of the fortress, senior agronomist Salome Lin Yu cultivated several cultivated fields.

In addition to sweet potato vines, seeds of other crops have recently been sown.

Everything is ready, only the defensive challenge is over!

At present, the defense circle is basically formed. As long as all the personnel are withdrawn into the central area, the siege party should not be interested in those empty buildings on the periphery.

Even if those buildings destroy the surrounding buildings, those ultra-long-range defense towers in the territory can also take advantage of the opportunity and have more output time.

In fact, even if building damage is included in the score, there must be a rigorous calculation formula.

For example, those whiteboard buildings and basic buildings, such as [Double Stone House], [Folk House] and other low-level workshops, are definitely incomparable to those excellent or even higher-level buildings.

At this time, all the high-end buildings in the territory are basically in the central area.

Ninety-nine percent of the buildings that remain on the periphery are basic buildings and whiteboard buildings.

This is also one of Zong Shen's arrangements.

That's what it means to be prepared.

After looking around for a week, he was very satisfied with the progress of the defense infrastructure in the territory.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the [Communication Crystal] and contacted Howie.

Let him notify immediately, and recall all non-combat citizens who are outside the coverage of the territory defense matrix to the territory. Combat citizens can be divided into small groups in an orderly manner and go to patrol the periphery of the territory.

After the notification, he contacted Vereesa again and asked her to find Reese Ulysses.

About five or six minutes later, with the blue light shining, the intermediate space mage Rise Ulysses flashed in front of him.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

She stooped and nodded slightly to Zong Shen.

She hadn't seen her for several days, and her face seemed to be a little more energetic.

Loyalty has also increased to more than 90 points.

You must know that Zong Shen didn't give her anything, these loyalty are gradually increased in her daily life in the territory.

It shows that Reese Ulysses is still very satisfied with the life and daily life of the territory.

Zong Shen nodded slightly.

"Just stand by here, and use flash to run errands with me later."

That's right, Zong Shen was going to let her use Blink to help him get around.

In a way, Blink is better than flying mounts.

This is especially true during short treks of tens of kilometers.

It's just a little bit of magic value, but now the territory has also hoarded a number of magic springs.

At least Rhys Ulysses won't lack mana.

After a simple explanation, Zong Shen put his hands on the edge of the sentry tower and looked at the scenery slowly.

After another ten minutes, he saw that the farmers on the periphery had all returned to the central area, and the soldiers all formed a small group and dispersed out before standing up straight.

He opened the [Territory] option, and a line of subtitles appeared, showing the status information of the territory.

[Territory: Level 8]

[City Lord's Mansion: Level 7]

[Current expandable range: a radius of 9,000 meters, the expansion can be successful after completing the land expansion task]

【Click to start expansion】

Level 9 territory expansion will attract 90 random hostile targets within a radius of 45 kilometers.

Zong Shen didn't care about it, and even yawned.

One thing to say, according to the current situation, it is uncertain whether there are 90 hostile targets within 45 kilometers around the territory!

The lords were like locusts, killing all the beasts such as "prairie bulls", "prairie wolves", and "prairie tigers".

In addition, there are all kinds of monsters that have also suffered bad luck.

The stronger monster lords will join forces to fight in groups, and the weaker ones will simply be wiped out.

Since the arrival of the lords, the bandits, horse bandits, rogues and the like who used to wantonly on the Endless Continent have been reduced a lot...

This is the stark reality.

In addition, the lords also had a certain impact on the ecology of the Endless Continent.

Such as vegetation cutting, stone collection, plant collection and so on.

Now some lords have changed the way of playing. They search for wasteland in the wild, and then plant small saplings spawned by natural magic.

By shortening the growth cycle of harvested saplings, logging is carried out quickly.

A small tree cut down is equivalent to one or two pieces of wood.

Those who are close to the forest or in the mountains are more comfortable.

Directly open up the forest farm in situ, and there is no shortage of wood at all.

And the amount of wood that can be exchanged for each tree is different.

The older and stouter the tree, the greater the equivalent wood resource.

In addition, there are many fancy tree species in the Endless Continent, which can be cut down to obtain different types and effects of wood.

Zong Shen has basically never been short of resources since he landed, so he has not studied this issue. When he chose to expand his territory, he took out [The Prophet's Eye of Sharpness (Orange)] and activated the [ The effect of visual enhancement], obtained super vision.

This was not over, he took out the [Single Telescope (Purple)] again.

The stacking of the two effects gives him a super terrifying vision and range of vision.

In order to avoid accidental injury, he used the lord's authority to remotely shut down the automatic attacks of the several giant artillery turrets in the territory. After waiting for ten minutes, the giant crossbow tower with the farthest range other than the giant artillery turret took the lead.

With the reverberation of the strong strings, a huge crossbow with the thickness of a thigh was fired.

Through super vision, he saw that the invaders turned out to be several mountain wild bears.

In the ten minutes that followed, various beasts appeared one after another in other directions.

Without exception, they were all killed by the giant crossbow tower several kilometers away.

Warriors scattered around the perimeter dragged the corpses of these beasts back into the territory.

There are a total of thirty-six beasts, and after all of them are processed, a lot of meat and fur can be obtained.

It took half an hour before and after, and there were a total of thirty-six beasts that attacked the hostile targets.

Looking at the prompt of successful expansion in front of him, Zong Shen felt a little helpless.

Without any hesitation, he proceeded to expand.

A level 10 territory will expand the territory to a ten-kilometer radius and attract hostile targets within fifty kilometers of the territory.

But let alone fifty kilometers, even if it is two or three hundred kilometers, Zong Shen has no opponent!

The two bullies in the area - the Goblin tribe in the mountains and the black dragon in the poisonous swamp were all killed or subdued by him. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the real bully in the area.

This time Zong Shen waited for 20 minutes before the attacker appeared after his super vision failed.

It seemed to be a group of gangsters, but it seemed to be well equipped. A large part of the gangsters seemed to be wearing Avalon's standard light armor, but they were matched with other equipment and looked a little uneven.

Through the attack report, he saw the name prefixes of these attackers.

[Departed light cavalry from Saiakabang City]

…

[Wandering Light Swordsman in Saiakabang City]

…

He knew about the city of Saiaka, which was the state city in turmoil next to Bosbon.

It seems that the problem there is very serious, even the city army defected in groups and wandered here!

These defectors were basically Tier 2 Avalon soldiers, including a small number of Tier 3 soldiers, with a total of 70 or 80 soldiers.

It's just not worth mentioning at all to Zong Shen.

About one-third of these bandits are the original Avalon light cavalry. All are thin.

Defection and wandering make them lose the supply of fine forage, and the continuous running is quickly consuming the muscle and fat of the horse.

Zong Shen was very interested in those mixed-race grassland horses, so he closed the defense towers of the territory.

Take out the [Communication Crystal] to contact Colby, and let him surround him with the wolf cavalry squadron and the lion knights.

If you can catch it alive, you can catch it alive, if you can't catch it alive, you will be killed on the spot, the equipment will be ripped off, and the corpses will be piled up and burned!

As for the horses, try to keep them!

Those wandering warriors who defected appear to the southeast of the territory.

It just corresponds to the direction of the city of Saiakabang.

After Colby got the order, a squadron of wolf cavalry and lion knights rushed over immediately.

There aren't many buildings to the south, so the two sides meet in a clearing.

Relying on the numerical advantage and equal-level suppression, Colby easily took down this group of wandering warriors.

Killed 21, captured 56 people, got a total of 33 warhorses, and killed two by mistake.

This result is still within the acceptable range of Zong Shen.

The battle lasted no more than ten minutes, but three wolf cavalrymen were also injured.

【Territory expansion completed】

[Current territory level: 10]

After two levels in a row, it was more than nine o'clock in the morning.

As the level of the territory increases, the longer it takes to expand the territory.

And the difficulty of territory expansion tasks has become lower and lower!
