Chapter 264 A brand new territory
Chaoyan slowly waved the short staff in his hand and silently recited an obscure spell.
A small crimson six-pointed star magic circle immediately emerged from her feet.
The next second, the empty wooden hut not far away was instantly dyed a fiery red, and began to quickly dissipate in the wind like a prairie fire.
What’s even more surprising is that a small square translucent barrier appeared around the empty house, completely isolating it from the outside world.
Lei Xiao on the side couldn't feel the heat wave at all.
Moreover, Lei Xiao was surprised to find that this kind of barrier also had the magical effect of filtering smoke.
After a while, until the last ray of fire dissipated, it became completely quiet.
With a gust of breeze blowing by, amidst the dust, wherever you look, there is already a flat land, as if nothing has appeared.
"This Erhan Nizi is really a demolition expert."
After lightly smelling the burning smell, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and casually touched the other person's head to show encouragement.
In this way, Lei Xiao was responsible for collecting a large number of beds, wooden cabinets and other items that were carried by other subordinates, and then transferred them to wooden storage boxes with huge space.
Chaoyan, who was jumping up and down, was responsible for demolishing empty buildings at designated locations.
Not long after, within the huge territory.
Except for the towering lord's mansion in the middle, the two miracle buildings in the north, and the trickling stream that constantly emerges from the spring.
The place was spacious and clean, and only Huzhang and other powerful men gathered around Lei Xiao, as well as the soldiers of the four squadrons.
Also, there is a brown horse.
This horse was originally taken from the lost carriage of Kunbu and has been raised in the territory until now.
When Lei Xiao was fine before, he often went up to practice his riding skills.
"Finally it's time for me to perform."
Looking at the clean territory, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, then grabbed a large stack of architectural blueprints and came to the main entrance on the east side of the territory.
At this location, the wooden walls and watchtowers previously erected have been cleared away by Chaoyan.
Only some shallow burn marks and wisps of smoke that have not completely dissipated remain on the ground.
"Then let's start here."
I saw Lei Xiao's mind moved, and piles of large stones appeared in the open space in front of him.
No hesitation, just start building.
As rainbow-colored light curtains flashed by, towering cylindrical buildings began to rise one after another.
I saw that the gates of these cylindrical buildings were all facing inwards, forming a solid barrier without any gaps. In other words, a city wall was more appropriate.
For a moment, the ground beneath everyone's feet shook, and a whole row of tall buildings rose from the ground. It was a very spectacular scene.
"No matter in terms of sturdiness or scale, compared to ordinary small stone fortresses, this werewolf moisture-proof warehouse is undoubtedly better. It is simply a fortress within a fortress."
After observing it carefully, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said to himself: "Then we will simply call it the fortress from now on."
Having said that, although Lei Xiao demolished all the wooden walls, the large trench behind the walls was not changed.
A row of newly completed stone forts were still built inside the trench, perfectly replacing the original wooden walls.
Therefore, the three buffer areas outside the territory wall have not been affected in any way.
At this stage, although Lei Xiao already has the ability to continue to expand his territory.
But after careful consideration, he did not choose to do so.
First, according to the current territory planning, even if the population limit is reached again, there will not be any crowding in the territory.
Secondly, if you expand blindly, although you can still use a large number of fortresses to completely surround the territory, it will also increase the length of the city wall.
Once an enemy attacks, a longer defense line will undoubtedly disperse the territory's defense forces, thereby increasing the difficulty of defense.
"If the population continues to expand in the future, it will be easy to solve. This will be the core inner city area, and we can continue to build the outer city outside."
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this in his mind.
Around the territory, a large circle of seamlessly connected city walls made of cylindrical stone buildings has been completed.
Moreover, Lei Xiao also reserved corresponding space at the original location of the front and rear gates to facilitate the construction of city gates later.
Looking around, the entire territory can be said to be completely new.
Not only has it become much more uniform, but the safety factor has obviously made a qualitative leap, making the subordinates on the side couldn't help but marvel.
"A total of 50 forts were built? 15 on the north and south, and 10 on the east and west, forming a perfect rectangle."
After a brief inspection, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, with the efforts of everyone, the main construction work of the territory has been completed perfectly.
"Next, let's start arranging the specific accommodation locations of each squadron."
Lei Xiao pondered while calling over all the powerful men and commanders.
After some arrangements, Lei Xiao divided the city wall composed of fortresses around the territory into four areas: southeast, northwest and northwest.
Among them, there are four fortresses next to the large and small gates on the east and west sides. The back gate is stationed by the Werewolf Warrior Squadron, and the front gate is stationed by the Heavy Guards Squadron.
These two squadrons will also be fully responsible for the defense of the two city gates and the city wall above the city gates.
In the southwest corner of the quieter back door area, Xue Ya and Faxia, who are alchemists, along with the maids A Ling and A Bing, were still assigned to a fortress each.
As for the northern city wall area, it is stationed by the Magician Squadron, the Great Swordsman Squadron and the Peasant Squadron.
It is close to two miracle buildings, which is convenient for the magician squadron to carry out maintenance work.
Finally, the southern city wall area was stationed by the Half-Elf Squadron and another Great Swordsman Squadron.
At this point, all seven squadrons under Lei Xiao's command have been arranged.
It is worth mentioning that Lei Xiao also designated the fortresses located in the corners of the four directions as four warehouses.
Among them, two are hoarding equipment and supplies, while the other two are hoarding food and other food.
After listening to Lei Xiao's arrangements, the subordinates of each squadron lined up neatly and immediately began to take action, heading towards their new residences.
Lei Xiao also rearranged the soldiers' beds and other items previously stored in the storage space to the new locations of each squadron.
At the same time, a certain number of light crystals were also distributed for use as auxiliary lighting.
"A two-story fortress can accommodate 50 people. One squadron is assigned two, seven squadrons totaling fourteen, two for Xueya and Fasha, and four warehouses..."
"In other words, of the 50 fortresses that make up the city wall, are there still 30 that are idle?"
Lei Xiao continued to think while watching the subordinates carrying beds and other items to their new residences in full swing.
"In this way, the territory can accommodate up to 15 squadrons of soldiers. Not bad, not bad. It is completely enough at this stage."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao couldn't help but reveal a look of anticipation and excitement on his face.
Now that the territory has been re-planned, a large amount of accommodation space has been left idle.
Then, naturally it’s time to recruit new subordinates! (End of chapter)
