Moreover, compared with the previous mercenary group bases, when the territory is captured and the mercenary group base is moved in, the number of buildings that can be built will increase accordingly. The most important building among them is the engineering workshop.
!
Here is a building that can produce siege warfare equipment! This building can be said to be built by a mercenary group with a territory. This is not only to ensure the future siege of the city, but also to better defend its territory. It is a
Very important building!
And the trebuchet is naturally produced in this building!
The war machinery produced in the engineering workshop can gradually increase its level. As the level of the engineering workshop building increases, the war machinery produced will be greatly improved in terms of attack power and solidity.
It's not the kind of junk that will be scrapped after a few rounds of defense tower attacks!
Therefore, the mercenary groups that already have territories at this stage are sparing no effort to build this engineering workshop!
The reason why Torre talked about this with Wang Man and the others was that Torre naturally had his own ideas. If he really wanted to attack this town, he must have siege war machinery, but since he couldn't pay the high price, then
You have to get other people’s ideas!
Torre's idea is to purchase it through other mercenary groups that already own village territory and have built engineering workshop buildings!
Although the price is definitely high, and even the most basic engineering workshop can produce trebuchets that are better than those sold by the system.
Here, I have to talk about the difference between capturing village territory and capturing small town territory. Although capturing a village territory seems to be very advantageous, as long as you have enough people and don't worry about the cost, you can usually win it.
, because there are no defensive towers or city walls in the village territory, it is naturally easier to fight than to capture the town, and after capturing it, you can also use engineering workshop buildings to make money.
At first glance, it does seem that village territory is more cost-effective. However, if you give up capturing small towns because of such benefits, it will simply be a waste of time.
Although the town territory is difficult to defeat, once it is defeated, the gains will be much more than the meager village territory. Putting aside everything else, the thirty-six defense towers in front of you are enough to defeat the people in the village territory.
Crazy with jealousy.
If such thirty-six defense towers were built slowly from the village territory, the investment would be estimated to be more than 1.8 million gold coins...
And if this town can be captured, it only needs to pay a small amount of maintenance funds to make these defense towers operational again! Even if these defense towers have already been reduced to a pile of rubble during the capture process, the same will happen.
of!
In addition to defense towers, there are also city walls. The same is true. If you slowly develop from a village, the funds that need to be consumed are also an astronomical amount. And all of these, as long as the small town can be captured, it will all be
It belongs to the occupiers. This is much richer than a poor village territory...
Moreover, generally speaking, a small town is usually built in a relatively good geographical location, with rich surrounding resources and convenient transportation. Otherwise, it is impossible to develop into a small town. As long as it is conquered, it means
All of these belong to the occupiers!
The leaders of the mercenary group are naturally not fools and can see such benefits. Therefore, in fact, if the spiritual cultivator army has the ability to attack small towns, they will never attack villages.
One is a small town with a superior geographical location and rich resources, while the other is a remote village. Even if a lot of money is spent on development, it is not known whether the village will prosper or not. Just a little comparison will give you the answer.
.
Of course, it is not an easy task to attack a small town. If you want siege equipment, you still have to rely on the pioneers who have established village territories, buy war machinery from them, and then
Only then can we get the town territory. This is a relationship that connects the past and the future. If there is no village territory, there is naturally no way to talk about town territory.
Following Torre's explanation, Wang Man gradually became clear about the matter of capturing the territory.
"I have seen the defensive strength of this town!" Torre continued: "The number of demon troops stationed there is about five thousand. The layout of this town can accommodate three mercenary groups, so it appeared at the end
There are also three big defensive demons. If our three mercenary groups unite and share the burden, it won't be too difficult. But the problem is that the defense tower is really nerve-wracking. We used to fight
The mercenary group led by this small town only lost one-third of their men to the demon army, but a full two-thirds of them were lost to the defense towers!"
"That is to say, we must first find a way to deal with the defense tower! Is that so?" Wang Man rubbed his chin and thought, and then asked: "As you just said, find other mercenaries with village territories.
Are you planning to buy war equipment?"
"That's indeed what I said!" Torre said with a wry smile: "But the problem is, you can't buy it at all now! This thing is basically priceless now. Anyone who has war machinery built in an engineering workshop will
They treasured the broom in their hands and were not willing to sell it! Of course, this was to strengthen the defense of their territory. Another reason was that these guys also hoped to accumulate enough war machinery and then attack the small town territory.
It’s time to expand the territory!”
"Then what should we do?" Ai Xi glared and said, "I can't fight anymore, I can't buy it, so why can't this small town territory just watch helplessly?"
"Don't worry!" Torre said: "I haven't finished speaking yet. It is indeed impossible to buy it through normal trading channels now, so we can only buy it from someone we are familiar with and go through the back door!"
"Huh? Take the back door?" Wang Man and the other three were stunned for a moment.
"That's right!" Torre looked at Wang Man and said, "In fact, I called you here to see this town just to get you to take action. I heard that you, Wang Man, and the president of Xiaoyao Villa
You know, can you try and buy war equipment from them? You know, they are the first mercenary group to establish a territory in the Dragon Kingdom, so the war equipment they produce is very likely to be
The best yet!”
After listening to Torre's words, Wang Mancai replied strangely and asked: "How did you know that I know that guy?"
Torre was confused when he saw Wang Man's expression and asked, "Is it possible that you don't know each other?"
"Knowing is acquaintance." Wang Man coughed, trying to hide the amusement in his heart, and said: "The problem is, the acquaintance between him and me is not the kind of friendship you think of."
Torre was not a fool. Hearing what Wang Man said, he also understood that Wang Man and President Xiaoyao were nothing if they didn't have Huai, so he suddenly said with a sad face: "Then what should I do? I can't buy a good siege.
There is really no way this town can get the equipment."
Wang Man thought for a while and then asked Torre: "Have you probably calculated how many manpower you can muster when attacking the town?"
"One thousand and five Zuogu!" Torre thought about it and said: "This is a person with regular combat power. If the mercenary group announcement is made within three days, he should be able to collect more, let's count two thousand!" "I
It's almost the same here!" Morde Caesar said: "You also have to give advance notice, I can also send two thousand people here."
Wang Man nodded. This adds up to only four thousand people. If there is another three days of buffer time, Wang Man can also gather more people. It is estimated that one thousand people will not be a problem. In this way, in total, there will be no problem.
The number of people is only 5,000, which is basically the same as the town’s guard strength.
With these people avoiding the town's defenses, we should be able to capture the town. Even if it's more difficult, we can grit our teeth and persevere.
"Let's do this!" Wang Man said: "Just follow what you said, three days of reinforcement time. Try to get enough manpower during this time. I will think of a way to see if I can get siege equipment.
"
"Okay, it's settled!" Torre nodded: "We will also ask acquaintances to come up with solutions for siege equipment. Naturally, the more the better!"
After everything was discussed, Wang Man and the others walked around the town again, roughly remembering the town's overall defensive strength, and then left.
However, what Wang Man and the others didn't realize was that when they were wandering around the town, there were several eyes following them. These eyes came from several assassins. Even if
Even in the small town, they didn't dare to open the scarves on their faces, so that no one could see their faces at all. After Wang Man and the others left, the assassins exchanged strange looks.
After that, they quickly dispersed and left.
Walking along the road, the scenery of Red Leaf Canyon is very beautiful. This place is a breathtaking place. Especially if you have seen the cold environment in the eyes of the undead, when you look at this place again, you will even feel,
Are you in a paradise on earth?
In such an environment, Wang Man felt as if his heart was much closer. As the four of them chatted, the topic unknowingly came to the topic of leading her to the town. "How do you plan to get the siege equipment?"
What?" Ai Xi lowered her head and looked at Wang Man with her beautiful big eyes and asked.
Wang Man gave her a rough smile and said: "Necessary items are always in short supply. I think since there are more mercenary groups with territories now, there will always be someone who will sell these siege engines, right?"
As Torre said, if no one sells it, it may mean that the profit is not great. In fact, as long as the price is high enough, there will always be people who can't stand the temptation and sell."
Ai Xi frowned and said: "But according to that estimate, the price we pay here will be much higher!"
"I know it too!" Wang Man smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, do you know? My initial inclination was not to attack the territory!"
