Chapter 267 Sudden Request
"This clear stream that keeps emerging from the spring is not very long due to the low terrain. It only runs through half of the territory."
"In other forest areas near the territory, there are several creeks of the same type with different terrains."
Lei Xiao was seen squatting down, stroking the translucent stream flowing slowly in front of him with his palms, looking at his reflection in the water, and continuing to think.
"If these creeks can be connected to the large trenches outside the city wall to form a complete water circulation system, wouldn't the territory be able to have a moat?"
Feeling the coolness coming from the clear stream, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a touch of joy on his face.
"At this stage, although with the blessing of a whole row of fortresses, the territory's city wall has reached a height of nearly 10 meters, the current 3x3 meter trench is still a bit too thin."
"When the battlements, forts and two city gates are completely constructed, they must be expanded to at least a width and depth of 5 meters."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao shook off the water stains on his hands and stood up again.
At this time, above the blue sky covered with white clouds, the light emitted by the two suns gradually weakened.
Sunset is already very close.
"We received Princess Ariel and her party in the morning, and in the afternoon we gave the territory a new look. Today is another busy day."
Lei Xiao stretched out and began to walk towards the mansion in the center of the territory, mentally calculating the elite combat power of the territory.
Currently, he already has 10 second-level elite squadrons with all third-level equipment.
They are two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians temporarily stationed in Kongqing Town, as well as two squadrons of heavy shield archers, two squadrons of shadows, a squadron of half-elf archers, and a squadron of heavy guards in the territory. Squadron, a squadron of werewolf warriors.
"With such power, if I encounter the orc army that invaded the forest at the beginning, I can completely annihilate it at the minimum cost in ten minutes at most."
While Lei Xiao was excited, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Compared with before, my strength is obviously not what it used to be!
"However, whether it is the Lengyan royal family with 8 legions, the Lengyan cities with a large number of subordinates, or the mysterious organization with at least 7 fifth-level powerhouses who appear to be sneaky, or even from any time. Let’s look at the unknown catastrophe that may occur..."
"The road ahead is still long and arduous."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright and he continued to think.
"And my current development direction is nothing more than to use Ariel and her group as an entry point while developing in a wretched way. While poaching the corner of this proud Princess Lengyan, I will also learn more about the intelligence of the Lengyan royal family."
"This, after Lin's investigation and Nanxing Nanyue's monitoring, I believe it will be implemented soon."
"At the same time, naturally I will continue to investigate every move of the mysterious organization. When Jiang Li returns, I will immediately start exploring the immortal gate of Gelin City."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao, who had already arrived at the door of the mansion, directed the two earth guardians beside him to open the heavy door and walked straight in.
Sitting down on the metal throne in the hall, Lei Xiao first opened the trading center and extracted all the 750,000 units of stone that he had just exchanged for 500 iron swords into the storage space.
Later, another 500 first-order iron guns were hung up, and they continued to exchange stones at the same price.
These first-level weapons, which are like treasures in the eyes of other lords, have naturally become a mountain of items at the bottom of the box for Lei Xiao.
"By the way, the quantity of copper and iron ingots required for the next mansion upgrade is too huge, so we have to find a way quickly."
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this.
Accompanied by a "ding" sound, his private message notification suddenly rang.
In confusion, Lei Xiao opened the private message interface and found that the message was from Su Ru in the mountainous area of Gelin City.
Ever since they parted ways at the abandoned mine site in Gelin City, the brother and sister Su Ru and Su Mo have been keeping in touch with Lei Xiao.
Needless to say, every time the world is notified, a private message of congratulations will be sent.
The main reason was that even before Lei Xiao left, he had already asked the tiger stick to temporarily seal the abandoned mine, in order to delay the mysterious organization from discovering the door to immortality in its depths.
But just in case, Su Ru and Su Mo insisted on sending farmers to check every day and reported to Lei Xiao regularly.
This point can be said to be quite satisfactory to Lei Xiao.
In addition, Lei Xiao was undoubtedly very interested in Su Ru's talent for treasure hunting.
"Could it be that these two people discovered some treasure again?"
In confusion, Lei Xiao opened the private message.
"Brother Xiaoshen, my sister and I just found another remote cave in the mountains. There must be some good things in it! However, we ran into some trouble again..."
"Is that true?"
Lei Xiao's eyes moved, and he smiled helplessly while browsing the text.
"...Brother Xiaoshen, my sister and I led the subordinates under us. When we found the cave, we happened to meet another group of lords who came to explore. However, fortunately, they were all peaceful faction. Otherwise, I I’m afraid my sister and I are already in dire straits..."
After seeing this line, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a hint of deep thought on his face.
At this stage, most of the lords scattered throughout this different world have begun to explore the surrounding areas of their own territories.
It is inevitable that we will meet other lords who come together one after another.
According to different actions and response methods, the lords were roughly divided into two major factions.
The first type is the peace faction mentioned by Su Ru just now, which advocates win-win cooperation and unanimously fights against the local indigenous people.
Such lords usually support each other through alliances and will not attack other strange lords easily.
As for the other type, it is naturally the killing faction that uses force to plunder the resources of other lords and massacre others.
"Of course, for me, there is no difference between these two types of lords. Anyone who stands in front of me can only be destroyed."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to check the private messages.
"...However, since the other party is not a member of the Xiaoshen Regiment, we do not trust them. After all, there have been many unscrupulous peace lords in the chat channel, who first pretended to form an alliance and asked the victims to help. Finally, the situation occurred where property and resources were completely misappropriated by force.”
"Therefore, after discussing with the other party, we unanimously decided to compete for the ownership of this cave in a one-on-one competition to determine the outcome. However, just after this plan was approved by both parties, several people from the other party... Suddenly he burst out laughing..."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show an increasingly curious look on his face. (End of chapter)
