Chapter 449: Build hardened roads to deal with the invading heroes
Within the wasteland territory.
As Lilith left with the Flame Mage Legion.
The only remaining hero in the territory is Heidi.
She now commands the territory's Praetorian Guards.
He has two orange legions, the Champion Heavy Armor and the Sword and Shield Guards produced by the Plantagenet Development Leader.
The main responsibility of these two legions is to protect the Dark Forest from being penetrated, centered on the main city.
Therefore, a larger number of soldiers are needed.
Up to now, the numbers of these two legions are still expanding.
But even so.
Facing the long border of dark dense forest.
The numbers still seemed insufficient.
At this time, Heidi saw that Fang Yuan had temporarily put down what he was doing.
She stepped forward and said.
"Your Excellency."
"There is something I need to report to you."
Fang Yuan raised his head, slightly shocked.
Then he asked.
"What happened?"
Heidi thought for a while and said.
"Some heroes from other lords have appeared in the territory recently."
"Their level of lurking is quite high."
"On several occasions, we even broke through the outer defense line and reached the Griffin Castle."
Hearing the news, Fang Yuan had a look of shock on his face.
"Gryphon Castle!"
With the expansion of his territory.
The current Griffin Castle is considered an internal line, rather than the previous border.
Able to break through numerous defenses and lurk here.
This is really awesome.
"Did you catch it?"
Heidi shook her head.
"After being discovered by the patrolling griffon knights, they drove away."
"I sent people to follow them and try to find their hiding place."
"But lost it halfway."
"For this reason, a sword and shield guard died."
After hearing the news, Fang Yuan opened the Lord's Mark and searched for the battle report system.
After a long time.
Finally, among the large number of battle reports, I found the battle report of the death of the Sword and Shield guard.
"Ding, your sword and shield guard was attacked by a sneak attack and died."
A very simple battle report without any information for reference.
At this time Heidi continued.
"Then I added more patrolling guards in this direction."
"But."
"It's still useless, these people can still enter our territory at will."
"Later I went to intercept it myself."
"These heroes who came here disappeared without a trace."
"They seem to know our presence in advance and avoid it in advance."
"I have never come into contact with such a weird opponent."
Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
"What is their purpose for doing this?"
"Could it be the same lord who has designs on my godhead?"
Heidi shook her head and said she was not sure.
Fang Yuan was pacing back and forth in the hall.
Then open the lord's mark.
"It seems that we are about to start building hardened roads in the territory."
“Without hardened roads, the territory is still not safe after all.”
"With hardened roads, patrolling soldiers are stationed on them."
"Coupled with the sentry towers on the road, intruders can also be detected."
"With the assistance of this building, part of this risk can be reduced."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan opened the building panel on the lord's mark.
Found the hardened road option.
This building occupies one building slot every 500 kilometers. Marching on hardened roads can increase speed and vision by 50%, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about being eroded by fog.
Generally, lords build roads mainly to disperse the fog.
Because the cost of construction is not too high, they are often demolished after the fog is dispelled.
Because the cost of maintaining roads in the future is high.
The reasons are not complicated. First, the lords have relatively large territories.
To maintain such a large territory, more than one or two hundred kilometers of hardened roads are needed.
Communication between various territories, winding roads.
Calculating all these, if you really need to repair it, it will easily be tens of thousands of kilometers.
At the same time, roads in the wild are particularly easy to be damaged and their durability is not high.
And because it resists fog erosion, its durability will automatically decrease every time a period of time passes.
So basically, after a while, a lot of resources will need to be invested in maintenance.
Therefore, even though many lords have upgraded their main cities to level nine.
But they rarely preserve large amounts of hardened roads.
At most, it is to build a part of the main territory to maintain the security of the territory.
But this situation of other lords does not apply to Fang Yuan.
Because he has obtained the godhead, he also has many powerful enemies.
These people are always thinking about spying on information about their own territory.
And it is impossible for him to send a million troops to station in the territory to expel these spies.
Doing so is not only a waste of troops.
It will also limit the development of their own territory.
Therefore, a relatively cheap and affordable construction such as hardened roads is more suitable for you.
And I really need this building.
Fang Yuan looked at the map of the building and began to think about how to prune the roads in the territory.
His gaze moved to the west of the territory.
There are eight purple resource collars and a grand canyon over there.
It stands to reason that there is no need for pruning. The grand canyon created by the forbidden spell is enough to ensure the safety of the territory.
But this is only theoretical.
If the enemy is willing, it is not difficult to send flying units across the Grand Canyon.
Therefore, these eight resource areas need to build roads.
Replaced large bonfires on previous patrol routes with roads.
In this way, I don't have to go to the Adventure Association to buy large bonfire buildings from time to time to maintain patrol routes.
After all, large bonfires are too easy to destroy.
And the erosion of the fog is ever-present.
Therefore, to solve the root cause, the only option is to harden the roads.
Fang Yuan began to follow the patrol route laid out by the big bonfire, paving the hardened road bit by bit.
First, the roads to the eight resource points are in a fan shape, linking to the Griffin Castle.
Then use roads to link the eight resource points one by one.
It was like a huge fan, wrapping the territory to the west.
At the same time, the legions stationed on the other side of the canyon were dispatched.
Fang Yuan also drew a thin line along the canyon.
Along thin lines, build hardened roads.
Then from each resource point, connect the roads to the roads on the edge of the canyon.
"To the west, eight vertical lines and two horizontal lines."
"To the north is the border of the Endless Mountains, and to the south is the border of the Mirkwood."
"The total length of roads planned here is two thousand kilometers."
"Not too long, but not short either."
Then Fang Yuan moved his gaze to the southern boundary of the Dark Jungle.
"According to Heidi's information, that is the main breakthrough point for spies."
"Then build a road from the southern purple resource territory to the undead territory."
"The road is built along the edge of Mirkwood."
"The total length is about 300 kilometers."
"Then we will build a road from Griffin Castle to the Undead Territory, with a total length of about two hundred kilometers."
"Using hardened roads, a triangle was constructed between the Undead Territory and the Southern Purple Resource Territory."
"Deploy patrol corps on the edge of the triangle. As long as the enemy crosses the road to the south, they will be discovered. Then just quickly dispatch the corps from all sides, arrange them on the road, and then send the corps into the triangle to complete the strangulation of them."
Fang Yuan looked at the marked points on the map.
"The west side and the southwest side are almost the same."
"Then the south and southeast."
"The south side mainly relies on the undead leader."
"A line can be extended from the Undead Territory and laid directly to the Green Sea Alliance."
"This route is not too long, about a hundred kilometers."
"When the northern defense line is captured in the future, we can then lay a three-hundred-kilometer road from the Green Sea Alliance to that side."
The plan for the south is roughly like this.
As for the route for the undead to lead to the Baronial Demon-Suppressing Alliance.
Fang Yuan is not planning to build it for the time being.
Firstly, there is no money, secondly, there is no need, and thirdly, there are not enough building spaces.
Hardened roads mainly use core territory.
Peripheral territory.
The teleportation array is also more affordable.
Fang Yuan returned his gaze to the main city.
"The planning for the south, west, southwest and southeast has been completed."
"What's left is the hardened roads built by the main city."
"Between the main city and the Griffin Castle."
"There is Shiquan Village, and there is Desperate Territory."
"The two places can be connected by roads, extending all the way to Griffin Castle."
"Thus constructing a rapid land support line from the main city to the Griffin Castle stronghold."
"Then there is Blackwater City underground."
Fang Yuan thought for a while, a road directly to Blackwater City needs to be built here.
With hardened roads, rapid land communication can be achieved between Blackwater City and the main city.
Then there is the main city to the Voodoo Castle in the north. This road is about three hundred kilometers long.
With this road, there is no need to station too many legions at Voodoo Castle.
In the end, only the east side was left.
This direction is the focus, and it has several important territories of its own.
From the main city to the Valley Military Station, it is about one hundred kilometers.
It is one hundred and fifty kilometers from Valley Military Station to Plantagenet Castle.
In the end, it was still more than a hundred kilometers from Plantagenet to the Bloodline Castle.
All these places need to be built.
At the same time, Fang Yuan also plans to build a road along the junction of the dense forest and grassland to the east.
One is being built along the river.
However, the length of these two roads is a bit scary.
Count them in.
The originally budgeted route was less than 5,000 kilometers, but it can directly increase to tens of thousands of kilometers.
That number is too huge.
My daily maintenance fee is not enough.
You know, the territory's daily maintenance costs are now as high as more than two million.
Adding in the more than 5,000 kilometers of distance, it can be doubled at least ten times.
If it’s tens of thousands~
Fang Yuan felt that most of the resources he produced would be consumed in daily maintenance.
Therefore, he gave up the last two for now.
Instead, we chose the first five thousand kilometers.
After drawing the dotted line on the map.
The next step is to start building.
Fang Yuan selected the hardened road on the building panel.
"Ding, do you choose to build hardened roads? First-level hardened roads cost 100,000 gold coins and resources per 100 kilometers."
One hundred thousand kilometers.
More than five thousand kilometers, that is more than five hundred million.
The intensity of the fighting on the northern defense line was lower than expected.
There are a lot more resources.
"Fix!"
"Ding, you spent more than 500 million gold coins and resources to build a hardened road."
"The current mobilization order is sufficient, should we speed up the construction?"
"Yes."
"Ding, the construction was successful."
As the beep falls.
Fang Yuan opened the hardened road panel to check.
【Name】: Hardened Road
[Level]: LV1
[Durability]: 70,000 (100,000 kilometers of road foundation durability)
[Daily maintenance funds]: 5.3 million gold coins, resources, and corresponding mobilization order acceleration.
【Mileage】：5300
[Remarks]: After upgrading, the durability can be increased. At the same time, the durability will be consumed daily and the maintenance funds will be reduced.
See the huge numbers of funds maintained every day.
Fang Yuan took a breath of cold air.
"Too many!"
"Who can bear this?"
"Must upgrade."
Fang Yuan selected the road.
Select Upgrade.
"Ding, the upgrade costs 50,000/100 kilometers and requires 250 million gold coins and resources."
Fang Yuan felt a burst of physical pain.
But he gritted his teeth and chose to upgrade.
"Ding, the upgrade is successful, the basic durability is +10,000, and the daily maintenance funds are reduced by 200,000."
It took 250 million yuan to reduce the maintenance funds by this amount.
The current daily maintenance is still as high as 5 million.
Only fools upgrade.
Fang Yuan decided to give up upgrading the road construction.
Anyway, this special building does not affect the upgrading of one's own territory.
After completing the construction, Fang Yuan turned to Heidi and said.
"The territory has built hardened roads."
"You can use roads to patrol the territory in the future."
"First send some sword and shield guards and champion heavy armor to patrol the roads."
"Be wary of intruders entering the territory."
"Yes!"
And with Heidi leaving.
Fang Yuan once again set his sights on the battle at the northern defense line.
And at the same time.
Just after he finished building the road.
The heroes who invaded his territory also sent the news back to their lord.
And these lords.
It is surprisingly the Destiny Cube organization from Middle-earth. (End of chapter)
