These figures are all wearing uniform blue robes and holding short metal staffs. They are the soldiers of the magician squadron under his command.
And, since it was already getting late, he, like other soldiers on guard, wanted not to attract attention.
All the brilliance of the magicians' equipment has been suppressed to a minimum, and it looks no different from ordinary cloth robes and ordinary staffs.
"Lord, after the three miracle buildings are upgraded, the area will inevitably increase. The "Child of Insight" and the charging array operating between the three miracle buildings will have to be re-planned.
The magic array."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Zhu Qi, the commander of the magician squadron on the side, explained: "However, when we first built the magic array, my subordinates took this into consideration and left enough magic array interfaces.
And transforming the space, just simple modifications are enough.”
"Lord, Dazhu is right. The energy supply interface extending from the miracle building between the subordinates and the priest is the same."
On the other side, Chao Yan came up with small steps, nodded and said: "These trivial matters, the subordinates and others are thinking about the lord."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
Next, it didn't take long.
The familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears as promised.
[Congratulations, your guardian defense mechanism has been upgraded to Lv: 7! 】
Looking at the colorful light curtain covering the giant octagonal building in front of him, it gradually turned into dots of energy particles until it completely disappeared. Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao couldn't wait to walk up.
After walking in a circle around the upgraded guardian defense mechanism, Lei Xiao noticed.
The volume of this large building, which has a regular octagonal shape, has obviously increased compared to the previous one, almost by one-third.
Except for a small part of the stone wall close to the ground, other parts have been transformed into an all-metal structure, coupled with an angular octagonal shape, which looks indestructible.
And on the metal surface, for each strange metal pattern inlaid, a line-like black crystal has appeared in the middle. From a visual point of view, it is obviously much more complicated.
Even the dull blue cold light emitting from it has become a bit darker, giving it a rather deep feeling.
All in all, the entire upgraded building feels like a deep and solid fortress, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.
“It is indeed a miracle building.”
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then opened the property bar of the building.
[Guardian Defense Agency Lv: 7]
[Owner: Lei Xiao "ID: 0013076067"]
[Number of Earth Guardians: 24/24]
[Number of Sky Guardians: 8/8]
[Building Special Effect 1: Guardian Charge Level 7 "Can charge the guardian of the earth (sky), moderately shortening the charging time"]
[Building special effect 2: Guardian creation level 7 "If the guardian of the earth (sky) is destroyed, a new guardian of the earth (sky) can be created (CD: 6h)"]
[Building special effect three: Guardian optimization lv7 "When the guardian of the earth (sky) acts, energy consumption is reduced by 24%"]
[Materials required for upgrade: iron ore x500000, obsidian x50000, black magic crystal x5000]
"The number of the two guardians has still not changed. It seems that there is another improvement in strength."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao turned around and immediately opened the attribute bar of the Earth Guardian holding the wooden box on the side.
[Name: Guardian of the Earth aδ]
[Occupation: Demon Breaking Warrior]
[Level: Level 3 Seven Stars]
[Energy: 87%]
[Skill 1: Horizontal slash type "Active" (small-scale physical group attack)]
[Skill 2: Fortress posture "Active" (significantly improves own defense, unable to move)]
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao casually released all the guardians in the space bracelet.
The next second, streaks of faint blue light rose from the soles of these high-level demon puppets.
Including the sky guardians suspended in mid-air, the strength of these guardians has also been upgraded to the third-order seven-star level.
"Yes, as long as the guardian defense mechanism is upgraded to another level, all the guardians will be at the peak level of the third level!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao arranged for the guardians to patrol and recharge, and said to the subordinates beside him: "Okay, let's go back and rest early."
In this way, surrounded by all the subordinates, Lei Xiao moved forward under the dark blue night with twinkling stars. In a moment, he entered the heavy door of the lord's mansion.
Going up the spiral staircase, when Lei Xiao returned to the long-lost lord's suite on the third floor of the mansion, a heavy feeling of exhaustion came to his mind.
Next, after washing up and putting on clean pajamas, Lei Xiao lay down on the comfortable and soft big bed.
"I have to say that I feel most comfortable in my own territory."
Falling into the mattress filled with feathers from birds and monsters, Lei Xiao sighed and his whole body relaxed instantly.
However, Lei Xiao did not go to sleep directly. Instead, he picked up the shimmering divine scroll badge that he had placed on the bedside table when he was changing clothes just now.
Naturally, this special item that can convert energy particles in the air cannot be stored in a space bracelet.
Looking at the small and exquisite badge in the shape of a six-pointed star in his hand, a thoughtful look appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
After continuously gaining control of the 20 divine arm shooters, exactly 80% of the power of the divine scroll stored in this badge was left.
Now, about 3 hours have passed, and the storage capacity has reached 83% again.
"In other words, it's probably going up by 1% per hour?"
Nodding in thought, Lei Xiao thought to himself: "Having said that, since there is no need to use the power of the divine scroll for the time being, it is naturally time to use the golden finger."
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao started to upgrade directly.
[Congratulations, your "Fifth Level Accessory: Divine Scroll Badge" has been upgraded to "Sixth Level Accessory: Divine Scroll Badge"! ]
Looking at the six-pointed star badge in his hand, which suddenly emitted a brighter golden light, Lei Xiao directly opened the attribute bar.
[Name: Divine Scroll Badge]
[Level: Level 6? Legend (Gold)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Power of the Divine Scroll: 0%]
[Additional effect: The power of the divine scroll? Holy "Slowly converts the energy particles in the air into the power of the divine scroll, and allows the wearer to freely call it, which can enhance the power of skills below level six"]
[Remarks: It is said that this badge was made by the gods themselves. Only the most outstanding sons of the gods are qualified to obtain it. In the blank era, most of the divine scroll badges have been annihilated on the battlefield with their owners, leaving the existing
The number is very few.]
"Has the reserve of the power of the Divine Scroll really become zero?"
Looking at the introduction on the attribute bar, Lei Xiao murmured to himself: "Moreover, after upgrading, the power of the skills that can be enhanced has also changed from level five to level six. It has indeed returned to its original normal state."
"By the way, as I thought before, in addition to strengthening the power of skills, does this thing have other functions..."
As he thought about it, Lei Xiao felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. After putting the badge back on the bedside table, he quickly fell asleep.
…
The next morning, when Lei Xiao sat up from the bed, the sky outside the window was already clear.
After stretching a lot, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a rose energy-gathering pill appeared on his palm.
Then, he seemed to realize something, and shook his head again and put the fragrant potion in his hand back into the space bracelet.
"Currently, I am already at the level of a double third-level peak powerhouse. Naturally, I no longer need to refine this third-level magic potion."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao didn't get up in a hurry.
Instead, according to the dual cultivation method of magic and martial arts taught by Jiang Lei before, the two energy vortices that partially overlapped each other in the body were mobilized and circulated separately.
For a time, streams of gentle energy filled every meridian in Lei Xiao's body. While bringing a hint of warmth, Lei Xiao's spirit could not help but be lifted.
"Although it is impossible for me to spend a lot of time and energy on daily practice like the local strong people, it is a good choice to run the basic method like this every day."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao suddenly felt energetic, got out of bed, and started to wash up.
In a moment, he appeared in his lord's office, fully dressed.
"Receive today's recruitment order!"
After putting five brand-new second-level recruitment orders and a city return crystal into the bag.
Lei Xiao immediately contacted Shen Banxia, Su Ru and Su Mo and other five lords through his words, and collected yesterday's output of exquisite logging axes, plus the ones he made yesterday.
After some skillful upgrading and decomposition, Lei Xiao obtained a total of 8,400 units of iron ingots, and corresponding amounts of derivatives iron ore and wood.
"Has the number of iron ingots reached the 30,000 units required for the next mansion upgrade?"
Nodding in thought, Lei Xiao murmured in his heart: "Then, we should go all out to produce copper ingots."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately gave the above-mentioned Shen Banxia and other six lords, plus the three newly added yesterday Qin Qian, Jiang Hao and Feng Ling, traded the resources needed today, and ordered all nine people to make exquisite sickles.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao also arranged his own exquisite sickle manufacturing sequence.
In the end, ten people consumed a total of 24,000 units of copper ore and 24,000 units of wood.
Next, Lei Xiao went straight to the first floor of the mansion. After listening to the old butler Ward's daily ventriloquist performance of naming the dishes, he stepped out of the door of the lord's mansion.
Taking a deep breath of the moist and fresh air, and facing the gentle morning breeze from time to time, Lei Xiao tried to use his magic wings to fly into the sky and circle around the territory.
After the vortex of magic energy in his body reached the third peak level, Lei Xiao, who became more and more proficient in controlling magic, was able to control the translucent magic wings behind his back and fly briefly.
After some inspection, Lei Xiao discovered.
Whether it is the construction of the canteen in the territory or the excavation of trenches outside the territory, they have entered the final finishing work, and they will all be completed today.
"When the trench, which is ten meters wide and five meters deep, is completely excavated, you can start introducing the moat!"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded happily.
After that, after having a sumptuous breakfast with all the subordinates, Lei Xiao followed his usual practice and gathered all the commanders and main subordinates in the hall of the lord's mansion.
Looking at the two rows of subordinates standing respectfully in front of him, Lei Xiao first ordered all squadron commanders who were staying in the territory to continue yesterday's project.
Then, he told Ward, the old butler who was the commander of the logistics department, that he had deposited 2,500 Qi Condensing Pills and 800 third-level Holy Light Knight Swords into the territory's warehouse.
He was ordered to distribute Qi Condensing Pills to soldiers in each squadron who have not reached the second peak level, and complete the registration process.
The 800 third-level knight swords are distributed to the half-elf archer squadron, two heavy shield archer squadrons, and five longbow squadrons, so that these eight long-range squadrons can also have high-quality weapons in close combat.
use.
This is one of the things that Lei Xiao has been thinking about before. Now that he has enough weapons, he naturally has to put it into practice immediately and install these long-range elite squadrons.
After everything was completed, Lei Xiao ended the meeting and led the main force and subordinates to the small city gate in the west of the territory.
"Everyone, we have a total of two goals today."
Looking at the main subordinates standing respectfully around him, Lei Xiao immediately said: "First, go to Iron Gate, the core city of the Second Prince's faction, and conquer Blue Rose and Broken Blade, the leaders of the two independent knights, in order to control them.
The whole Order."
"The second is to go to Luolong City to meet the "skull-crushing madman" called the Lord of City Hod, and strive to include the fortress city of Luolong City into my territory."
"Currently, Kongqing Town has become a lost cause for the three princes, and we don't have much time left."
Lei Xiao looked solemn and continued: "If one of the three princes, especially the eldest prince and the second prince who are powerful in the eastern region, plans to completely get rid of Ariel and me.
Then, Kongqing Town will immediately turn into a bloody battlefield, there is no doubt about this."
"So, I hope you will work together with me to make the final preparations before the war!"
Having said this, Lei Xiao nodded heavily to his subordinates and said, "Everyone, I leave everything to you."
"I obey! Lord, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for the Lord!"
On the other side, all the subordinates bowed and spoke in unison to Lei Xiao.
"very good."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao turned over onto the wolf again and said: "Then let's set off, the target is the Blue Rose Knights station near Iron Castle!"
