Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's face flashed with curiosity and he responded.
Immediately afterwards, the office door was gently opened, and an extremely burly figure and a slender figure appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
It was the two healing powerhouses under Lei Xiao's command who were not inferior to ordinary powerhouses in battle, Ye Cang and Ju Bai, who were both fourth-level and five-star.
At a glance, the two of them were dressed in pitch-black priest robes and holy priest robes, which looked quite visually impactful.
"Subordinates, please see your lord!"
Seeing Lei Xiao sitting on the boss's chair, the two of them immediately touched their chests, saluted, and spoke respectfully.
"No need to be polite, how is Benson's situation?"
Raising his hand to signal the two of them to stand up, Lei Xiao smiled.
"For your information, Lord Lord, two of my subordinates are about to report this matter."
Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and responded: "With the two conditions of the Light Healing Institute and the Purifying Ointment being perfectly met, Benson's death curse has been successfully lifted!"
"Very good, then why can't he be seen?"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao couldn't help but wonder again.
"Back to Lord, this is what happened."
A crisp voice sounded, and the orange-white man with smooth shawl-long hair bowed and said: "Because Benson has been wandering at the peak level of the third level for so many years, the upper limit of energy in his body has already reached the standard of breaking through the shackles, so in
After the death curse is lifted, he will directly start attacking the fourth-level strong man on the spot."
"I see. In this way, our strength will be strengthened again."
After listening to Ju Bai's explanation, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
As a veteran on the battlefield, Benson, nicknamed "Skull-Crushing Madman", will undoubtedly be able to further enhance the territory's overall combat power after being successfully promoted.
After all, this guy was once one of the candidates for the kingdom's general, and had made great military exploits for the Cold Flame Kingdom. Obviously, like Bert and Ju Bai, he was a leader with considerable strength.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and said to the two subordinates standing respectfully in front of him: "Okay, come with me for a walk."
Just like that, surrounded by Ye Cang and Ju Bai, Lei Xiao walked out of the lord's office, went down the spiral staircase, and finally came to the starry outdoor room.
At this time, light crystals were flashing everywhere in the territory, and the lights were still bright.
While walking in the territory, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the large cafeteria area in the southeast corner of the territory, ten long round-arched buildings stand in sequence, looking very neat and uniform.
"On the basis of the initial five canteens, have the other five been completed?"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
This large dining hall, transformed from a half-elf stone longhouse, can accommodate 200 people dining at the same time, and the ten of them combined are exactly the same number of residences in the territory.
This undoubtedly means that all supporting facilities for food and accommodation in the territory have been completed.
"Not bad, not bad. Now that the food and accommodation issues have been successfully completed, the only issue left is territorial defense."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao quickened his pace and climbed up the territory's city wall from the nearest stone fortress.
Standing on the towering city wall with a height of ten meters, feeling the cool evening breeze blowing on his face, Lei Xiao continued to walk and looked down the city.
At this time, there was a busy scene outside the city wall.
I saw that the trenches outside the city wall had perfectly reached the predetermined standard of ten meters wide and five meters deep.
Rogge and Bai Zhi are leading the soldiers to carry out the final leveling and consolidation.
Under the light of the light crystal, Lei Xiao further noticed.
With the help of two squadrons of elite magicians and dozens of earth magicians, temporary earthen stairs upwards were built in the deep trenches.
Among them, especially Zhuqi, who is one of the magician commanders, because she is a rock magician herself, and has been promoted to the third level of strong people, her calm command and bearing the brunt made the work go smoothly.
Well organized.
"Following Ned from Magnet Town and Xuan Yue from Mailan Town, the territory finally has a decent third-level earth magician. When the Rose Energy Gathering Pill is sufficient, we will also list him as a key training target."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao continued to think while walking on the city wall neatly lined with magic cannons.
"According to this progress, the trench excavation work will definitely be completed tonight."
"It seems that the main work in the territory tomorrow is to guide the surrounding streams into the trench and complete the last step of the territory's moat."
Thinking of this, a look of excitement appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
With a towering city wall, a complete moat, 100 magic cannons that have been deployed, plus an absolute defensive barrier that can be activated at any time and a "Pull of Insight" barrier that is always running, your territory can finally reach a
The standard of a military fortress.
"Lord, the territory is truly impregnable."
Ju Bai, who had been following Lei Xiao, couldn't help but sigh: "Coupled with the lush trees around the territory, which serve as a natural barrier, even if the opponent breaks through the disguise of the Tower of Vision and then invades in large numbers, the territory will be enough
Against a sizable army."
"That's right. Moreover, there are half-elves and snow wolves who are good at jungle warfare. They are guarding us. They can further weaken the opponent's strength and make it possible to come and go in the jungle without a trace."
The metal skull pendant on Ye Cang's chest reflected a cold light, and then added: "At critical moments, they can all be contracted within the territory to further enhance the territory's defense."
After listening to the words of Ju Bai and Ye Cang, Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze, then looked at the two of them and said: "Then do you think at this stage, if the main powerhouses like you and I are not here, how many enemy forces can be in the territory?"
Stand firm under the siege?"
"Back to the lord, there are currently 16 second-level elite squadrons stationed in the territory. Together with the other remaining strong men and two surrendered races, I believe that they can at least withstand the attacks of the opponent's three organized legions.
."
Ju Bai pondered for a moment, stroked his chest and saluted: "Even if there is no sufficient supply of magic power, the absolute defensive barrier in the territory cannot last for too long. With this towering city wall and the thick
The anti-magic coating is still impregnable."
"You are right, and the dense forest is not conducive to the opponent's offensive formation."
Ye Cang on the side, a white light reflected in his gold glasses, echoed.
"What if the opponent has complete siege equipment and more people? If there are tens of thousands of people, it will not be difficult to level the trees around the territory."
Caressing the smooth and slightly frosted body of the magic cannon beside him, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said: "You know, during this period of time, the opponent must have mastered a lot of information about the lords from other worlds.
few."
"For example, once the territory is completely destroyed, even if I escape, it will be instantly wiped out. Therefore, if the other party discovers this territory, it will attack with all its strength regardless of the cost."
Having said this, Lei Xiao removed his hand from the magic cannon and shook his head helplessly.
When I first traveled to this world, I was still skeptical about this incomprehensible advice.
However, after this period of understanding, whether it was from the chat channel or the mouths of other lords, I was able to confirm it.
All the lords from other worlds who have traveled through time are indeed bound to their respective territories and belong to an indivisible community of destiny.
Therefore, when it comes to the construction and defense of the territory, there must be no carelessness. Otherwise, once the back door catches fire, it will undoubtedly be catastrophic.
On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, Ye Cang and Ju Bai couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Just as the lord said, the eastern area of Cold Flame where the territory is located has 15 hostile legions.
Even if 40% of Magnet Town, Kongqing Town, Mailan Town, and Red Arrow Town are in front of the territory, they form a defensive barrier that can disperse part of the opponent's combat power.
But once the war begins and the opponent discovers the location of the territory, it is indeed an extremely difficult problem.
"We have discussed it before at Rose Marquis. Under the current situation, if we simply defend the power of a prince, we can still do it with ease."
Nodding to the two subordinates, Lei Xiao frowned slightly and continued: "But the problem is that if the opponent chooses to join forces, or if one of the parties does not participate in the war, one fisherman will benefit in the end, and we will all suffer a life-and-death crisis.
challenge."
Hearing what Lei Xiao said, Ye Cang and Ju Bai couldn't help but have serious expressions on their faces.
If things are really as the lord said, then, judging from the current situation, the territory will definitely suffer a huge catastrophe.
Even if the opponent is finally defeated after a bloody battle, the robes fighting together in the territory will still suffer great losses. Even they themselves are not 100% sure of surviving among the thousands of troops.
.
"What the Lord said is absolutely true. Marquis Rose also mentioned it at the time. A general who has experienced many battles once said that the most difficult thing to guess in this world is the intention of the opponent on the battlefield."
The orange-white delicate and fair face was full of seriousness, and he said: "Besides, this is still based on the current situation, and we cannot rule out whether the opponent will use other forces."
As a famous Leng Yan general who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, Ju Bai understands clearly.
Over the years, the reason why she was able to pass through all the battles and kill generals, accumulate military merits, and advance to the high position of the kingdom's general.
It's not because of the strategy in his mind that he is much better than his opponent, but because he is down-to-earth, considers the worst-case scenario in everything, and makes corresponding preparations and countermeasures. Only then can he remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations and wait for opportunities to inflict fatal consequences on his opponent.
one strike.
Thinking of this, his orange-white starry eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and added: "Lord, you mean... our current preparations are not sufficient? Or do you have other preparations?
"
"That's right. If we make sufficient preparations for this, we will have the strength of several more legions in our hands out of thin air."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, rested his elbows on the concave wall stacks, and looked into the distance.
As far as the eye can see, there is a quiet dense jungle, and further up, there is a bright starry sky filled with stars.
The location where Lei Xiao is now is at the city gate on the west side of the territory, which is facing the direction of Kongqing Town.
"How many more legions are there out of thin air?"
Hearing the sound, the orange-white face was full of confusion, and it was obvious that he did not understand the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.
"Lord, are you referring to the Shadow River?"
I saw Ye Cang pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and thinking deeply.
Needless to say, the Demonic Shadow River mentioned by Ye Cang is naturally the nameless river that divides the Demonic Shadow Forest into two.
After this period of understanding, Lei Xiao and others have already learned the name of this river, which coincides with the Phantom Forest.
"That's right, the channel of the Demonic Shadow River is about a hundred meters wide, and the water is turbulent and flowing continuously. The upper reaches of the Demonic Shadow River is an extremely steep waterfall, pouring down from the Baibu Mountains."
After hearing Ye Cang's words, Lei Xiao retracted his distant gaze and looked at the two people beside him again: "It's time to prepare for the water attack that we thought of when we first went to Kongqing Town.
"
"Lord, are you talking about building a dam upstream of the river to store water?"
Ju Bai suddenly showed a look of realization, and suddenly said: "The Demon Shadow River is still quite a long way from the territory, and the same is true from Kongqing Town on the other side of the river."
"At that time, even if the gates are opened and the water is released, the territory and Kongqing Town will not be affected at all. However, if a large army attempts to build a bridge to cross the river, it will inevitably suffer a fatal blow!"
Having said this, the excitement on his delicate and fair face was overflowing with excitement, and he added: "This is indeed equivalent to an army that appeared out of thin air!"
"This is my final step of preparation."
Smiling at the suddenly enlightened Orange Bai, Lei Xiao snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go to the upper reaches of the river first tomorrow."
"As you command! Lord!"
The two combat priests saluted respectfully and spoke in unison.
"Okay, it's almost time, let's go check on Benson's condition."
Nodding to the two of them, Lei Xiao was the first to take his own steps.
Under the illumination of the bright twin moons, Lei Xiao had just walked to the door of the Bright Healing Center, which exuded a faint golden glow, when a wave of tyrannical energy mixed with the violence of the battlefield surged out from the half-open door.
Immediately afterwards, a figure exuding an impressive aura flew out of the door with a strange smile.
At this moment, Lei Xiao could clearly hear it.
Although the laughter was deliberately suppressed, it was still very harsh and revealed uncontrollable ecstasy, as if the villain in the movie had succeeded and appeared sideways.
Needless to say, such a crazy voice naturally comes from the "Skull Crushing Madman".
As expected, Lei Xiao just thought of this.
The violent aura on that figure shrunk, and then he appeared in front of Lei Xiao. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my subordinate has lived up to your Lord's high expectations and has successfully lifted the curse of death and advanced to the fourth level.
