Chapter 737: Defense capabilities are being enhanced
When Zong Shen saw this, he didn't even need to read the guide notes to know that this [Magic Charging Tower] would be of great use to the territory's next defensive challenge!
From a certain perspective, the value of [Level 4 Magic Charging Tower (Purple)] even exceeds that of [Magic Spring], at least in terms of recovery efficiency.
The difference is that [Magic Spring] is more flexible and can be carried around, and you can decide when to drink it.
However, the [Level 4 Magic Charging Tower (Purple)] can only enjoy the benefit effects and magic replenishment within the territory where the charging tower is built.
But no matter what, the practical value of this building has been very obvious!
In addition, this complete blueprint is still a "three-yolk egg", which can build three [fourth-level magic charging towers (purple)] in one go, forming a reasonable parallel range!
Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the summary of this drawing in the strategy notes.
(The magic charging tower is a very cost-effective magic replenishing building, especially suitable for replenishing magic power during wartime. It can greatly improve the combat endurance of spellcasters in the territory.
The unique [Magic Feedback] effect is its most prominent ability. As long as the number of spells cast within the range is greater, the reserve will be faster. Three towers can be built in the current drawing, and the three towers can be connected in parallel.
The maximum parallel distance between two [Level 4 Magic Charging Towers] is ten kilometers, and the coverage area of a single [Magic Charging Tower] is a radius of 5 kilometers. Please reasonably combine and match according to this distance scale to make three
Charges can perfectly cover key areas in the territory, especially during defensive challenges.
After the challenge is over, reasonable adjustments can be made to maximize the building's magic replenishment advantages.
Summary: Good luck, little Zongzi!)
After ignoring the summary at the end, Zong Shen nodded in agreement.
Everything mentioned in the guide notes is all practical information.
This [Level 4 Magic Charging Tower (Purple)] can be considered a super practical type even if placed in a rare-level building.
Zong Shen immediately grasped it and contacted Mariel again...
Inform her that she is checking the drawings, and new buildings will appear in the [Construction] list at any time.
Then he told Mariel the effects, characteristics and construction location selection ideas of the [Level 4 Magic Power Tower (Purple)].
It wasn't until Marier quickly provided three accurate and reasonable layout coordinates that Zong Shen felt relieved.
Speaking of which, Mariel's understanding of the territory is as good as Zong's.
It is no exaggeration to say that she knows the territory well!
After all, she travels throughout the territory every day. As the chief officer of logistics and internal affairs, she basically decides on the construction plan of the territory.
Many times she would discuss it with Howie and finalize the most reasonable plan.
So so far, Zong Shen has no objection to the relocation of territorial defense buildings, because the layout is quite reasonable, allowing various defensive buildings to effectively shrink the defense range.
She also planned several overlay zones for the firepower of several defensive arrow towers by setting up a defense matrix.
Mariel even specially asked Caniggia, the Wind God's Favorite who was keen on painting, to go to the tower of the Lord's Fortress and personally guide him to draw the current defense zone map of the territory with a pencil.
Including the distribution of defense towers, the location of the fortress, the location of the city wall circle, the location of the defense matrix, and the location of the overlapping area, Zong Shen took a general look, and combined with everything he saw when he was riding Xiao Heizi overlooking the territory, it can basically be verified.
Mariel's plan is quite good.
Due to the lower level of low-level defense towers, the corresponding attack, range and other attributes will be lower than those of similar high-level defense towers. Therefore, they are generally placed in the first city wall circle and put together a variety of low-level defense towers.
Form a matrix of low-level defense towers.
Second-level and third-level defense towers have higher attack and range, so they are placed within the second city wall circle to form a matrix of intermediate defense towers.
Tier 4, 5, and 6 defense towers have the highest attack and range, so they are placed within the last city wall circle. They will form the core output with the [Thunderfield Wonders (Incomplete)] in the territory.
This arrangement can shorten the difference in the range of each level of defense towers as much as possible and create more range and attack stacking circles.
All special buildings with higher value and level in the territory have been moved back to the central circle.
Only the stone houses on the periphery and ordinary buildings such as pastures have not been moved.
When the time comes, Zong Shen will definitely not just stick to it, but with his character, he will definitely take the initiative.
Therefore, in defensive tactics, room and arrangements are reserved for taking the initiative to strangle the enemy.
There is a city gate in each direction, and trenches, iron caltrops, and captured goblin mines are arranged outside the outermost city wall circle. Some high-level anti-horses and roadblocks are also placed to form temporary fortifications.
At that time, you can arrange shooters and mages on the outermost city wall, and then use the few trebuchets, magic artillery, positional crossbows in the territory, and the [Storm Crossbow (blue) captured from the Calamity Raven Church stronghold]
] Arrange them all. Anyway, the losses and consumption in the defensive challenge will be restored after the challenge is successful.
In addition, the territory started stocking up on arrows and crossbow bolts a week ago.
The dwarf uncle has also trained several blacksmith apprentices.
As a senior blacksmith, the dwarf uncle has recently been mainly responsible for forging high-grade materials.
Five blacksmith apprentices were specially assigned to make arrows and crossbow bolts.
Mariel also purchased some workshop equipment blueprints for arrow and crossbow manufacturing equipment from the [Market].
For example, there is workshop equipment that can quickly cut wooden poles with uniform specifications, and there is also workshop equipment that can quickly rivet arrows into the wooden poles. Several ingenious farmers have been mobilized to help with the work.
Under the guarantee of this series of measures, the territory can produce 5,000 standard arrows and 5,000 standard crossbow arrows per day. Although they are all at a blank slate level, they can also effectively meet the territory's consumption.
This batch of arrows and crossbow bolts have been stored.
Of course, it is not enough to just produce the goods in the territory. During this period, purchases will be made through the [market] every day.
In addition to the arrows originally stored in the territory, there are also the batch of arrows Zong Shen recently brought back from the ruins.
Now the reserve of arrows and crossbows in the territory has reached an extremely exaggerated level.
As for spare crossbows, we also have a lot of them in reserve.
Among them, the batch of standard war bows that Zong Shen brought back from the underground fortress warehouse in the Azshara sewers were enough to meet the needs of all the archers in the territory to replace their war bows several times.
The spare crossbows are specifically purchased from the [market].
These preparations are just the tip of the iceberg, in fact the territory has been preparing for the defensive challenge for a whole week!
A lot of resources and materials have been poured into it.
Zong Shen and Mariel chatted about the subsequent building arrangements for more than ten minutes. Finally, Zong Shen once again told her to increase the frequency of checking the [Building] list in the past two hours to avoid missing the latest buildings from the treasure chest.
Only then did the two parties hang up the communication.
He placed the [Communication Crystal] on the table, drank a large sip of wine, and simply closed his sore eyes to rest for a while.
Today he has no exploration plans or travel plans.
The only thing he had to do in the remaining time was to open the box, check the rewards, and immediately arrange those that could be used.
Then it was time to rest. The next day, I personally reviewed the layout of the defensive buildings in the territory, called all the soldiers to assemble the team, used the recruitment coupons I had saved, and finally arranged a battle plan for everyone during the defensive challenge.
Taking advantage of the gap between gatherings, use the souls of the two sisters Madeleine, Mapel, Tasia, and Aysia to upgrade their qualifications to hero-level talents.
Zong Shen still has six [Hero Crests (orange)] in his hand. Even if four are used up, he can still have two left for use.
And he has no shortage of [complete souls] that can improve the qualifications of his subjects.
Some high-level souls come from announcement rewards for completing breakthrough events, but more complete souls come from [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)].
When Xiao Heizi rioted and the Poisonous Swamp happened, Zong Shen easily extracted a wave.
Immediately after he conquered the Goblin tribe, Vereesa took the bottle and extracted another wave.
Therefore, there is no shortage of souls of all levels in his hands.
With the [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)] in hand, he can exchange complete souls of orange and lower levels through [Soul Exchange].
Speaking of which, his [Power Extraction] skill hasn't been put to much use recently.
This thing cannot be extracted from corpses, it can only be extracted based on killing.
There were nearly five to six thousand corpses in the Poison Swamp, but those people were all killed by Xiao Heizi.
The dead family members in the poisonous swamp were all killed by the lords, and they had nothing to do with the sect. The [Soul Extraction] could pick them up, but his [Power Extraction] was of no use.
In the later [Heat Wave Challenge], the Balrog BOSS did not give extraction value, but the little Balrog did, but he was not busy taking over the unclaimed territory, and just asked Gujiat to bring [Unknown Strange Beast Egg (Unknown)]
Riding Xiao Heizi to absorb the little Balrog, it also has nothing to do with his [Power Extraction].
When he later attacked the Goblin tribe, he did not directly kill many Goblins. Some of the Goblins were eliminated by his soldiers, and more were killed by Cthulhu's projection.
The killing of these goblins also has nothing to do with him, and can only be missed by [Soul Extraction].
There were no battles on the journey after that, including rescuing King Ragnar, capturing the two epic mercenaries, and sneaking into the Centaur tribe.
However, yesterday when I went to the underground fortress in Azshara's sewers, I killed some high-level evil fallen undead monsters and gained a wave of experience points and strength extraction points.
Among them are two orange overlord-level monsters, namely: [Gathered Resentful Distorted Skeleton LV49 (orange)], [Resentful Immortal Body·Lord·Swordsman LV46 (orange)].
These two overlord-level monsters contributed 18,729 experience points and 1,200 power extraction points to him.
In addition, he also killed five purple leader-level evil fallen undead and gained about 20,000 experience points and 625 power extraction points.
There are 1825 points of strength extraction value here, plus his original remaining extraction value of more than 1,000 points, which just meets the 2-point strength gain condition.
So his current level is LV33 [Experience Points: 82196/290625].
The strength attribute is 234 points, and the health value is 1832.
If you want to get as much power extraction value as possible, you still have to look for large-scale swarms of monsters.
Just like during the [Crypt Challenge], groups of monsters were endlessly killing them.
Since the end of the challenge, Zong Shen has rarely encountered large groups of enemies that he can kill happily.
Either it is left to be tamed, or the enemy has other means to deny it the chance to slowly consume and kill it.
And there are many things he needs to worry about every day, and he really can't spare the time to kill monsters and accumulate strength extraction points, including Favid.
The last time his paw team had a new member was four days ago...
So far, Favid has summoned a total of 13 [Hell Two-Headed Dogs] through killing points.
Four of them were kept by Zong Shen in the mine as a "housekeeper".
After all, all the manpower and kobolds in the mine have been evacuated. Considering the defensive challenge, Zong Shen has not yet used the [Enclosurer's Flag (Orange)] to select the mine as [Enclosure].
Now, except for the four hellhounds, the existence of the cave entrance is completely covered up by the projection constructed by [Large Illusion Projection Magic Disk (Purple)].
Zong Shen will ask about the situation of the mine through the strategy module every day, and he will know immediately if there is an intruder.
At this juncture, all the lords' minds should be focused on the upcoming defensive challenge.
So nothing happened in the mine.
When the defensive challenge is over, he still has to go to the mine to investigate the strange screams coming from the depths of the mine reported by the kobold chief Dutra.
At that time, as long as the mine is included as an "enclosure", Zong Shen can move some of the defensive buildings there.
After all, he currently has nearly 2,000 defense towers in his territory!
The largest number is [First-order Elemental Arrow Tower], with a total of 771!
At that time, some defense towers will be evenly distributed from the territory, which will be used to strengthen the defense of the mine.
In addition to the mine entrance in the northeastern part of the territory, it can also be arranged in various large mine passages and halls inside.
The height there is enough to place most defense towers.
After the mines are developed to include Azshara Mountain Bunker, Azshara Sewer Underground Fortress, and other cave entrances in the mountains, Zong Shen can make plans as appropriate.
After all, this mining area occupies a huge area, and almost all of the underground mountains and forests in the north are mine tunnels.
When it really develops, he will have to use the [Mining Goblin Detonator] to blow up some cave entrances as appropriate. In addition to this mine, there is a gem mine more than 300 kilometers away from the griffon nest in the northern part of the territory.
It also needs to be developed.
The distance from there to the territory is seven to eight hundred kilometers, which is much farther than the distance from Azshara Mine to the territory.
At that time, Zong Shen will have to consider building a teleportation array, and he will also have to use the [Enclosurer's Flag (Orange)] to turn it into one of the [Enclosures].
