Chapter 1255 The Tenth Level Lords Mansion is Completed
A familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[You have consumed stone x1000000, wood x100000, thatch x100000, iron ingot x60000, copper ingot x60000, fine steel ingot x20000, and colorful ingot x1000]
[The Lord's Mansion is being upgraded to Lv9, please wait...]
At the same time as the prompt sounded, a giant colorful light curtain rose rapidly, completely covering the entire lord's mansion.
Under the dazzling seven-color light curtain, the entire territory looked like daylight, looking extremely spectacular, like the dawn of dawn in the dark night.
"If it were before, I would still worry about whether other forces would notice it and pose a threat to the territory. But now that the human world is surrendered, even without the coverage of the Tower of Vision, I no longer need to care about this.
."
Lei Xiao looked at the dazzling scene that he had never seen before, and his heart was filled with excitement.
This time, the area covered by the giant light curtain has obviously extended a lot outward from the area where the original mansion was located, and its height has increased. This undoubtedly means that the mansion will undergo an earth-shaking change!
Listening to the sound of intensive construction that kept ringing inside the light curtain, the anticipation on Lei Xiao's face was palpable.
Regardless of the scale, further upgrading of the mansion will not only increase the number of people, but also greatly improve the creation of magic circles and its strength and other aspects.
Especially in terms of its solidity, it is undoubtedly the foundation of its establishment on this land. Although with its careful deployment and strict protection of the territory, it is difficult for the lord's mansion to be directly attacked.
But this is his lifeline. The stronger it is, the less worries he will have.
"Judging from this momentum, I'm afraid the upgrade will continue for a long time. Let's take advantage of this moment to directly prepare for the expansion of the territory."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately began to chant and summoned all the commanders and subordinates and main subordinates currently in the territory.
Since the astonishing momentum of the upgrade of the lord's mansion had already attracted the attention of the subordinates, in just a moment, a group of subordinates gathered around Lei Xiao and became very excited.
Especially some of the main subordinates such as the commander and Ye Cang who did not attend the meeting because they were sticking to their posts and promoted to the fifth level. After hearing the news of Lei Xiao's ascension to the throne of the human race, they were even more excited than can be expressed in words.
"I understand your feelings. When the coronation ceremony is over, you will definitely have a good celebration. But as I have always said, the return of the human world is just a small step we have taken. There are still thorns ahead.
, giving us no room to relax at all.”
Lei Xiao smiled faintly at first, and then said seriously: "So, there are still many things we need to do, such as territory expansion after the upgrade of the lord's mansion is completed."
After that, Lei Xiao described his thoughts to his subordinates.
"As expected of the lord! Are you going to build a territory that is like a real palace? And also designate the territory as the location of the lord's imperial capital? That is really exciting!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Ward's old face suddenly showed excitement, and other subordinates also had the same expression.
The old butler rolled up his sleeves and used the items in his storage ring to build a temporary courtyard with several other maids. He respectfully invited Lei Xiao to take a seat.
Then he spread out the blank drawings and quill pen for Lei Xiao and got ready to record.
Lei Xiao took the hot tea from the maid and nodded with satisfaction.
Although he said it lightly, building a palace-sized territory was undoubtedly an extremely large and sophisticated project, and it was by no means as simple as he had thought before just for safety and practicality.
It is not only the building layout, the deployment of magic traps and magic towers, but also other infrastructure issues such as drainage that need to be considered at the macro level.
In addition, we also need to consider at the micro level how to maximize the grand style of the territory, garden design, path laying and other minutiae issues. It is indeed not a day's work.
In addition, the continued expansion of the territorial mansion and the three miracle buildings, as well as the issue of setting aside sites for other subsequent miracle buildings, naturally have to be considered.
"But all I need to do is to coordinate everything and provide a framework. These specific problems can be solved by subordinates with relevant majors."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao described his idea of building the inner city first and then expanding the outer city.
"The Lord's idea is exciting! I happen to have some experience in building layout and infrastructure, especially the palace, which is an important place that requires tight defense."
Hearing the sound, Ye Cang, who was very excited, took a step forward, nodded thoughtfully and said: "But just like what the lord said, this is indeed a huge project."
"Although your Lord's construction resources are abundant and the construction blueprints are becoming more and more complete, there is no need to worry about these matters, but precise planning and design are indispensable."
Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and concluded: "So, just like the Lord's idea of building the inner city first and then the outer city, we might as well start with the core area of the palace and then gradually improve the entire palace.
"
"Yes, it is indeed the best choice to build the inner courtyard area of the palace where the lord lives first. We only need to focus on the lord's mansion and the three miracle buildings."
The old butler Ward, who also has research on the palace, nodded and agreed: "In this way, when the area of the inner court is relatively limited, the "Fortress Wall" barrier can still easily and comprehensively cover the territory.
Safety is guaranteed too!”
"It's just what I want, so let's do it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and his subordinates immediately started working.
Since the old butlers Ward and Ye Cang both studied the palace, the former's direction was on infrastructure and garden layout, while the latter was on the deployment of magic towers and magic traps. It can be said that they cooperated tacitly.
In addition, as nobles, Shea, Fasha, Gars and several other commanders and subordinates also had a lot of research, so after brainstorming, it didn't take long to create a highly complete inner court design drawing.
Just appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"The lord's mansion and three miracle buildings are located at the core of the inner court, with several courtyards and gardens interspersed in between. The outer perimeter of the inner court is completely surrounded by a city wall, with rows of barracks and a large number of magic towers deployed inside the city wall?"
Lei Xiao picked up the well-organized design drawings and began to observe them.
This is almost the upgrade of the current territory, but the magic towers arranged in sequence around the inside of the city wall, as well as the reserved locations for laying other protective and detection barriers, have undoubtedly strengthened the territory to a great extent.
security.
The newly added gardens, fountains, sculptures, and complete drainage systems and other supporting facilities have brought the territory to an unprecedented artistic realm and grand momentum, which is extremely satisfying.
"This is exactly the courtyard in my mind, so that's it."
Lei Xiao put down the drawings, nodded to the commanders and subordinates and said: "Everyone, please go back and prepare. Instruct the soldiers to pack their belongings. After the mansion is upgraded, I will select the corresponding building blueprints first.
Then we will demolish the old buildings first and then start building the new inner palace."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
The commanders and subordinates were ordered to retire, and the territory became more and more lively.
Since all subordinates in the territory have been issued storage rings for a long time, and after Lei Xiao integrated the resources of the human world, he was issued a second one with a larger capacity, so it will include beds, wardrobes, weapons and equipment and other items.
Loading it all was a piece of cake.
After arranging everything, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the still shining colorful light screen, and he nodded thoughtfully.
Along with the upgrade of the mansion, there is another extremely important thing, which is naturally the summoning of new subordinates.
"At this stage, the population of the territory is "3995/4000". Including the initial peasant squadron, all subordinates have reached the third level of strength at least."
Lei Xiao opened the territory's overview interface and began to check it out.
"According to the rules, after the mansion is upgraded, the population of the territory will reach 8,000, which undoubtedly means that I will have 4 more new summoning quotas for the brigade."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao checked the number of his recruitment orders again.
"Currently, I can receive 10 second-level recruitment orders or 60 first-level recruitment orders every day."
"Although some were consumed in the process of successively acquiring subordinates, there is still a lot of inventory."
"Originally, in the early stage, I always received 10 second-level recruitment orders. But as I became more proficient in using my talents and could control the upgrade direction to a certain extent, I received more first-level recruitment orders intermittently.
"
"After all, the first-level recruitment orders can be directly upgraded to the third level after the qualitative change, but the vast majority of the second-level recruitment orders are still the third level after the qualitative change, and only a small part can reach the fourth level."
"Especially after reaching level 2 in talent, I will only receive 60 first-level recruitment orders, because after the upgrade, this will steadily produce 60 third-level strong men for me every day."
"Because of this, I currently have a total of 1,500 unupgraded first-level recruitment orders, and 160 unupgraded second-level recruitment orders."
"This undoubtedly means that I will have 1,500 more third-level subordinates and more second-level subordinates. In fact, it is almost the same. After all, with my training, the newly summoned second-level subordinates will soon reach the third level.
"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and made a decision in his heart.
Then first summon 1 brigade, 5 squadrons of third-level subordinates and 2 brigades of second-level subordinates, totaling 3,500 people.
After all, after upgrading the mansion, he can receive more recruitment orders every day, and he can soon fill the gap with the third-level subordinate team. Moreover, he still needs to leave a certain number of people to prepare for the conquest.
After making up his mind, looking at the lord's mansion which still showed no sign of completion, Lei Xiao simply went to the nearby half-elf barrier and the Snow Wolf tribe's camp respectively.
While condolences to the two surrendered races, he also decided to completely transfer them back to the territory and ordered them to start preparations immediately. With the increasing expansion of the territory, it was only a matter of time before their residences were covered.
Finally, after being reluctantly bid farewell by Shi Feng and other Snow Wolf tribe, Lei Xiao returned to his territory after having another barbecue.
Returning to the lord's mansion again, Lei Xiao looked up.
Compared with the sound of construction in full swing just now, the sound inside the colorful light curtain has obviously slowed down at this time, and the outline of a black building that has expanded much more than before is looming in it.
"Is it almost there?"
Lei Xiao looked at the brand new mansion that was gradually taking shape, and a look of anticipation once again flooded his face.
This undoubtedly means that the upgrade of the mansion has reached the final stage.
Sure enough, just as Lei Xiao drank a cup of tea, when the sound of construction stopped completely, the colorful light curtain began to dim, and the prompt sound came to Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, your lord's mansion has been upgraded to Lv: 10! 】
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao put down his tea cup and walked out of the temporary open-air courtyard.
Dots of energy particles were seen blending into the night sky, and most of the colorful light curtain covering the mansion was dissipated, revealing the completely new lord's mansion.
"Good guy, this is almost catching up with Lion Castle."
Amidst the amazed voices of his subordinates, Lei Xiao looked up at the giant gray castle in front of him, and his eyes widened a bit.
Compared with the previous one, the area of the new lord's mansion has increased by more than half, the height has also increased a lot, and the overall look is extremely heavy.
Whether it is the majestic overall appearance or the thick and towering castle walls, it is as awe-inspiring as a giant sitting and lying in the dark.
In particular, the watchtowers distributed around the castle are not only much taller and wider, but their surfaces are also covered with metal, making them significantly stronger by more than one level.
Not only that, there are also obvious metal traces on the corners of the castle's foundation and walls, shining with a frosted brilliance in the dark night.
This undoubtedly means that the entire castle is changing from stone to a more solid metal texture.
"No wonder it consumes so many metal resources. It's really extraordinary."
Lei Xiao's eyes wandered back and forth on the surface of the castle, and he further noticed through the window that the original four-story mansion had become a five-story mansion!
These are not the most important. The most gratifying thing is that Lei Xiao keenly discovered.
The defensive spells, which were originally only applied to key parts such as the castle doors and windows, directly covered the entire castle, making the entire castle rippling with magic from time to time, making it look very safe.
"This is much stronger than before. Even a fifth-level and five-star me can't break it alone."
Lei Xiao felt the heaviness brought by this special defensive barrier and walked straight towards the castle gate.
"This is a long-awaited upgrade of the mansion. I wonder what changes will happen inside the castle?"
When he got closer, Lei Xiao looked at the castle gate, which had become the same as a city gate, and the expectation on his face became more and more obvious.
I saw that he did not hesitate, easily opened the door of the mansion, and strode towards the interior of the mansion.
