Chapter 256: Great Promotion of the Troop Nest, the First Brilliant Grade Troop Nest
Climb high and look far.
Richard stood on the 20-meter-high city wall and looked into the distance.
At the end of the line of sight, the vast yellow sandy land can be seen in full view.
The city wall is in an irregular square shape, completely wrapping the territory.
The staggered wall stacks are more than half a person's height. Soldiers can shoot in the depressions and use the bulges to block bows and arrows shot from below.
The solid city wall cannot be pierced even by a ballista.
There are four city gates in front, back, left and right.
The solid stone door is like a mountain that can isolate everything, tightly closed.
To open the stone door, you need to turn the turntable behind the city wall and use a clever mechanism to retract the stone door to the left and right.
Richard held onto the cold city wall stacks with a bit of satisfaction in his eyes.
With the city wall, the Twilight City immediately gave him a different feeling.
Like rootless duckweed turning into a towering tree with deep roots.
After inspecting for a while, he seemed to have thought of something and waved his hand to summon Brown, a level 12 alchemist.
When the panting gray dwarf came to him, Richard did not wait for the other party to salute and went straight to the topic.
"Brown, have someone move half of the huge cannons onto the city wall and arrange the firepower points."
"The rest will set up positions behind the city wall."
Artillery is not a bow and arrow, and the power of a direct shot is stronger than a shot from behind.
If possible, he even wanted to fill the four walls with alchemical cannons.
This kind of exaggeratedly powerful killer weapon is simply invincible against ground troops.
Unfortunately, the quantity is too small.
Artillery fire can only wash the ground conditionally.
"Yes, my lord!"
Brown should be excited.
Now, he can finally be called upon alone to shoulder such an important responsibility.
Richard nodded and continued to ask.
"How is the production progress of the alchemy bomb?"
The alchemical artillery is strong, but its biggest flaw is that it requires strong logistical support.
If this thing is fired without restraint, his inventory can be wiped out in a few minutes.
Brown responded immediately.
"Master, the alchemy workshop will be built tomorrow, and it is expected to produce 50 pieces per day."
50 pills?
Richard frowned slightly.
"Too little, now we don't have time to save a little bit."
"I need you to produce 1,500 pills before the 15th."
After speaking, he looked at the other person who wanted to say something else, and his tone became condensed.
"This is an order!"
Brown immediately choked back all the words.
He gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely.
"Yes!"
Richard's expression softened slightly.
"During this period, you can apply to Karu for any resources you need, including manpower."
Brown was relieved.
At worst, there will be no rest for twenty-four hours! He will definitely complete this mission!
For him, now is a good time to make meritorious deeds.
If you make a mistake, your hard-earned status will be lost!
After Brown left, Richard looked at the green Elaeagnus grove in the distance with a subtle expression.
There is no problem on the territory, but the unprotected agricultural area has become a worry for him again.
Now, just hope that the agricultural area will not be brought into the instance.
Otherwise, once the war heats up, we may not be able to mobilize the strength to defend.
After walking around the city wall, Richard felt much more at ease before returning to the lord's mansion.
It cost 2 million units of stone to build the city wall. Not counting the fractions, he still had 38 million units of resources left in his hands.
Now, it’s time to upgrade the long-stagnant troop nests.
Open the attribute panel of the troop lair and look at it carefully.
There are a total of 13 elite military nests——
Guardian Land (Elite 3 Stars, 3 Seats)
Tomahawk Chalet (Elite 3 Stars, 10 Seats)
There are a total of 18 rare-level troop nests——
Great Pyramid (rare 3 stars, 3 blocks)
Poisonous Scorpion Lair (rare 3 stars, 1)
Cursed Pyramid (rare 3 stars, 1)
Sand Pyramid (rare 3 stars, 5)
Death Knight Pyramid (rare 3 stars, 3 seats)
Kuangsha Mage (rare 3 stars, 5 seats)
There are a total of 3 rare-level troop nests——
Gargoyle Lair (rare 3 stars, 2 seats)
Tomahawk Cottage (rare 3 stars, 1 building)
To upgrade an elite troop nest to a rare level, you need 100 ordinary troop nests, worth 5,000 units of resources.
Rare promotion to rare requires 1,000 nests of ordinary troops, worth 500,000 units of resources
A rare promotion to brilliance requires 10,000 ordinary soldier nests and 5 million units of resources.
With a wave of his hand, Richard first upgraded 13 elite-level troop nests to rare ones.
65,000 resources were spent.
As a result, the number of rare-level units has increased to 31.
Unfortunately, there is a 7-day cooldown period after promotion to the troop nest.
These newly promoted people will not be able to be promoted a second time for the time being.
Richard did not hesitate and promoted all the remaining 18 rare-level units to rare levels.
The upgrade cost for each unit nest is 500,000 units, and the total consumption is 9 million units.
38 million resources, after two rounds, plus the original fraction, there are still 29.2 million units left.
As a result, except for the 13 troop nests in his hand that had to wait 7 days, all the rest were promoted to rare levels.
Including the original 3, the total is 21.
Looking at the luxurious data on the panel, Richard felt his heart trembling.
21 rare levels of troop lairs! !
21! !
This is not some big cabbage!
To upgrade from rare to brilliant, 5 million units are required.
These 21 require 105 million resources.
After a little calculation, the corners of Richard's mouth twitched.
This data is simply getting more and more outrageous.
Without much thought, he selected the three rare-level troop lairs that could be promoted now - two dark gargoyles and his favorite troop - the Ax of the Dead.
The promotion of three troop nests requires the consumption of 30,000 ordinary troop nests and 15 million resources.
Fortunately, the trading market has the option of purchasing on condition, otherwise just buying these 30,000 pieces would keep him busy for several hours.
After collecting enough amounts, the black gold system quietly lit up a prompt.
[Tomahawk Wooden House (rare 3-star) - Consuming 10 rare-level desert camp unit nest cores can upgrade it to Brilliant 3-star. The conditions have been met. Do you want to upgrade? 】
【Gargoyle Lair】
After three consecutive prompts, Richard chose to confirm all of them.
All of a sudden.
Thousands of tomahawks hanging in front of the wooden house, emitting light golden light, suddenly glowed brightly.
An indescribable aura began to surge.
The wooden house quickly rose up like bamboo shoots, reaching a height of 6 meters in the blink of an eye.
The battle ax hanging outside also became as crystal clear as a diamond at this moment.
On the other side, the two dark gargoyle statues also rose to 6 meters high, looking even more ferocious.
[The promotion of Tomahawk Wooden House is successful, the current level is Brilliant 3 stars. 】
[Gargoyle Lair was successfully promoted, current level - Brilliant 3 stars. 】
Richard opened the black gold system in a happy mood.
Sure enough, there was no surprise. To be promoted from the Brilliant level to the Crown level, 10 Brilliant level troop nests were required.
The next upgrade will cost 50 million resources.
At this moment, Richard once again felt poor.
50 million units, this is still one. If you upgrade them all, it will kill you. Even if you cut your waist, you won't be able to get so many.
Withdrawing his mind and looking at the upgraded lair, he felt excited again.
Three months later, Twilight City finally has its own glorious-level troop nest.
This is a brilliant level!
Gargoyle Lair (Brilliant 3 Stars, 2 Blocks) Recruitable Troops: Dark Gargoyles, Recruitable Number: 40.
Resources required for a single recruitment: 14,000 gold coins, 14,000 units of wood, 14,000 units of stone, and 50 units of gems.
Recruit all required resources: 1.68 million, 2000 units of gems.
Tomahawk Hut (Brilliant 3 stars, 1 building) can recruit troops: Ax of the Dead, number of recruits: 10.
Resources required for a single recruitment: 14,000 gold coins, 14,000 units of stone, 14,000 units of iron ore, and 50 units of crystal.
Recruit all required resources: 420,000 units, 500 crystal units.
Looking at these two pieces of data, Richard's heart suddenly trembled.
My mouth is inexplicably dry.
Damn it, the resources required to recruit after upgrading are also an astronomical expense.
It’s time for the husky.
My heart feels both happy and painful at the moment.
When will he not lack resources and be able to recruit as many people as he wants?
Take a deep breath, wave, and choose to recruit.
He still has more than 10 million resources, so I bought the sample!
The resources on the property panel immediately dropped sharply.
In the troop nest in front of them, the first batch of brilliant-level troops independently cultivated by Twilight City were born. (End of chapter)
