"This clear stream that keeps emerging from the spring is not very long due to the low terrain, and it only runs through half of the territory.
In other areas near the territory, there are several creeks of the same type with different terrains."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao squatted down, stroking the cool and translucent stream in front of him, looking at his reflection in the water, and continued thinking.
"If we can connect these small streams to the large trenches outside the city wall to form a complete water circulation system, then wouldn't we be able to have a moat?"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
"However, despite being supported by a whole row of fortresses, our city wall has reached an astonishing height of nearly 10 meters.
But the current 3x3 meter trench is still a bit too thin.
When the battlements, forts and two city gates are completely constructed, they must be expanded to at least 5 meters in width."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao shook off the water stains on his hands and stood up again.
At this time, above the blue sky covered with white clouds, the light emitted by the two suns gradually weakened.
It seems that sunset is very close.
"We received Princess Ariel and her group in the morning, and in the afternoon we gave the territory a new look. I have to say, it was another busy day."
After stretching, Lei Xiao continued to think as he walked towards the mansion in the center of the territory.
"The most important thing is that currently, we already have 10 second-level elite squadrons with all third-level equipment!
They are two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians temporarily stationed in Kongqing Town.
As well as two squadrons of heavy shield archers, two squadrons of shadows, a squadron of half-elf archers, a squadron of heavy guards, and a squadron of werewolf warriors in the territory.
With such a force, if I encounter the orc army that invaded the forest at the beginning, I can completely annihilate it at the minimum cost in ten minutes at most."
Thinking of this, while feeling a little excited, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
There is no doubt that compared with before, our own strength is obviously not what it used to be!
"However, having said that, whether it is the Lengyan royal family with 8 legions, or the Lengyan cities with varying strength.
There are still at least 7 level 5 powerhouses standing guard, a mysterious organization that seems to be sneaky, and even an unknown catastrophe that may happen at any time.
Our future road still has a long way to go.
All in all, the current development direction is nothing more than developing slowly and responding to certain emergencies.
Let's first use Ariel and his party as the entry point, and while digging into the corner of this proud Princess Lengyan, we can also learn more about the intelligence of the Lengyan royal family.
I believe that after Lin's investigation and Nanxing Nanyue's monitoring, this can be implemented soon.
The last thing that needs to be done is naturally to continue investigating the mysterious organization's every move.
When Jiang Li returns, we will immediately start exploring the immortal gate of Gelin City."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao, who had already arrived at the entrance of the mansion, directed the two earth guardians next to him to open the heavy door and walked straight in.
After a while, he sat on the metal throne in the hall again.
Lei Xiao first opened the trading center and extracted all the 750,000 units of stone that he had just exchanged for 500 iron swords into the storage space.
Then he hung up another 500 first-order iron guns and continued to exchange stones at the same price.
There is no doubt that these first-level weapons are like treasures in the eyes of other lords.
For Lei Xiao, naturally, it is already a mountain of weapons at the bottom of the box.
"By the way, the quantity of copper and iron ingots required for the next mansion upgrade is too huge. It seems that we have to find a way quickly..."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Accompanied by a "ding" sound, his private message notification suddenly rang.
In confusion, Lei Xiao opened the private message interface and found that the person who sent the message was Su Ru who was located in the mountainous area of Gelincheng.
Ever since they parted ways at the abandoned mine site in Gelin City, brother and sister Su Ru and Su Mo have been keeping in touch with Lei Xiao.
Needless to say, every time a global announcement is made, a private message of congratulations will be sent to you.
The main reason is because even though Lei Xiao was leaving.
He had already asked the Japanese knotweed to temporarily seal the abandoned mine, in order to delay the mysterious organization from discovering the immortal door deep inside.
But just in case, Su Ru and Su Mo still insisted on sending farmers to check every day and reported to Lei Xiao regularly.
This point can be said to be quite satisfactory to Lei Xiao.
The most important thing is that Su Ru's talent for treasure hunting is even more interesting.
"Could it be that these two people discovered some treasure again?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately opened the private message.
"Brother Xiaoshen, my sister and I just discovered another rare cave in the mountains. There must be some good things in it!
However, we ran into some trouble again..."
"Is that really the case?" Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly while browsing the text.
"...Brother Xiaoshen, my sister and I led the subordinates. When we found the cave, we happened to meet another group of lords who came to explore.
However, fortunately the other party is a lord of the Peace Faction, otherwise, my sister and I would have been in danger..."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful.
At this stage, the lords scattered throughout this different world are divided into two major factions based on their different methods of action.
The first type is what Su Ru just mentioned, advocating win-win cooperation and uniting against the peace faction of the local indigenous people.
Such lords usually support each other through alliances and will not attack other strange lords easily.
The other type is naturally the killing faction that uses force to plunder the resources of other lords and massacre others.
"Of course, for me, there is no difference between these two types of lords. As long as they stand in front of me, they will only be destroyed."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly and continued to check.
"...However, since the other party is not a member of the Xiaoshen Group, we do not trust them.
After all, there have been many unscrupulous peaceful lords in the chat channel, who pretended to form an alliance and asked the victims to help.
Finally, the situation occurred where the property and resources were completely misappropriated by force.
Therefore, after discussing with the other party.
We unanimously decided to fight for the right to own this cave in a one-on-one contest, with one battle determining the outcome.
However, just after this plan was approved by both parties, several people on the other side suddenly burst out laughing..."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show an increasingly curious expression.
