After John woke up from meditation, Xu Lai's eyes were a little red. He had not slept for more than 30 hours.
My current physique is more terrifying than that of a giant dragon. It has only been more than 30 hours. Xu Lai thinks he can hold on for another 30 more hours.
"Lord, why don't you take a rest first!"
Xu Lai shook his head and said: "No need, this month is the month of the buffalo.
The longer we stay, the higher the chance of the bison gathering into groups and the birth of the Barbarian Bull and Barbarian King.”
As he said that, Xu Lai glanced around. He was surrounded by the lowest level 7 angels and 7th level paladins. He sighed and said: "Let's make a quick decision and try to get everything done today and go back to rest early."
To deal with the bull, long-range troops are the most suitable. If that doesn't work, counter-charge spearmen and pikemen are also very suitable.
In addition to being stared to death and unable to be resurrected, targets killed by bison can also be resurrected.
The most important thing is that even if these infantrymen, spearmen, etc. cannot be resurrected, Xu Lai will not feel bad.
Otherwise, if you get it too easily, it won’t be rare.
In order to obtain these angels and paladins, Xu Lai took them to level up a little bit. How could he be willing to waste them with wild monsters?
For ten hours, Xu Lai's troops were divided into three groups. Except for the remaining troops who only eliminated dozens of lost bison, each of the three teams destroyed at least ten groups of bison.
However, because the buffalo herds they destroyed did not gather together, the largest group was just a group of buffaloes killed outside the maze this morning. There were more than a hundred buffaloes in total, 3 wild bulls and one wild bull. king.
These four wild bulls were all killed by Xu Lai himself.
It's not that he is brave, he just temporarily acts as a mage, a thunderbolt of ice, sending them to the west from a distance.
Dozens of bison herds gave away more than 20 treasure boxes, a dozen piles of resources and several low-level treasures.
The treasure is very low-level. It can add one or two points of morale, a point of luck, or one or two points of attack and defense for the entire army.
Except for a few rare ones, such as the best low-level treasures that increase movement speed by 1 point and increase luck by 1 point, the other low-level treasures are not very valuable now.
So Xu Lai exchanged all of these 20 wooden, black iron, and bronze treasure chests for gold coins.
A wooden treasure chest can be exchanged for 500, black iron for 1,000, and the bronze treasure chest has the lowest quantity, which can give 2,000 gold coins.
From these low-level treasure chests alone, Xu Lai gained nearly 30,000 gold coins.
Recently, we have been upgrading the castle, upgrading the city walls, building Mingyue City, expanding the army and recruiting troops, and we have spent a lot of money.
And at his current level of level 40, that little bit of experience is a drop in the bucket and has almost no effect.
Getting tens of thousands of gold coins in ten hours is not a small income, but if all the wild monsters gather together, this harvest can at least be doubled several times.
Strengthening his energy, Xu Lai took John and made their way unimpeded to the entrance and exit of the maze, and placed the last investigative eye at the farthest end of the relay control center.
With these eyes, Moriel would not be able to sneak attack on him again, unless she also followed Xu Lai's example, and several people ran to steal his home.
In that case, it would be difficult to detect using some invisibility spells.
Unfortunately, Moriel is not so courageous.
At this moment, the troops in the underground city are frantically exploring everywhere.
Almost all the forks in the direction of the maze are being explored by dungeon troops.
The arrival of the Buffalo Moon was a great help to Xu Lai and caused great trouble to the search team in the dungeon.
It needs to be cleaned up and searched at the same time. No matter how many troops there are in the dungeon, the search will probably take about ten days and a half.
It is worth mentioning that when Xu Lai entered the maze this time, he not only did not continue to develop the gold mine, but also canceled the previous occupation status.
The purpose is to mislead the dungeon, because generally speaking, few heroes can afford a rich gold mine.
Even if Xu Lai can't transport it, he just needs to hire some cavemen who are professional in mining and come to take away the gold every once in a while.
A rich-level gold mine can produce at least 1,500 gold coins a day. If you ignore efficiency and keep piling cavemen, you can even produce 2,000 gold coins a day.
2000 a day, one trip a month can take away 60,000 gold, how many lords can afford it.
Anyway, if the gold mine here is discovered, Moriel will definitely come and occupy it.
But the fact that the gold mine here is not occupied by others probably means that no hero or lord has passed through this passage.
Of course, it may not really be able to confuse people. After all, the prison where the hero is held in the center of the maze is now empty.
If Moriel or any hero comes over, they will definitely notice this problem.
However, Xu Lai has done everything he can.
A battle with Moriel is inevitable. Xu Lai only hopes to postpone this date continuously so that he can accumulate more strength and create more chances of victory.
After three nights and two days, Xu Lai finally returned to Mingyue City on the second day of the Buffalo Moon.
The bison herd near Mingyue City has been cleared up.
Dill was a shooter general, and the shooter troops he led were large and of good quality. It was not difficult at all to clean up these wild monsters.
The continuous rain of arrows gave the bison no chance to get close to him. Even if he launched a charge, he would only die on the road.
Xu Lai left all the 50,000 gold harvest he had accumulated from the underground to Dill.
Coupled with the treasure chests he opened himself and the output from Mingyue City, it should be almost enough for him to advance and improve as a shooter.
In the three days since he left, the ground has undergone new changes. The priority castle was built in the last few hours of the Moon of Bones.
But Xu Lai was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he rested for a night in Mingyue City and took a look at the effects of each investigative eye.
Xu Lai was not very satisfied with the effect because the water mirror was too small and the picture could not be separated.
Although different screens can be switched, after switching, the information seen by other investigative eyes cannot be displayed.
So John, who had also worked hard for two days, was brought over by Xu Lai to work overtime and directly hung more than a dozen mirrors on the wall.
There is no need to use water mirrors this time. Just connect these mirrors to the screen in the control center.
There are more than a dozen scenes, and someone has to be specially found to watch them.
Fortunately, in addition to Yu Lan and Dier, Mingyue City also has the leader of the horse thieves and his younger brothers.
Find a few good performers who will be responsible for monitoring and monitoring, and one person will be responsible for several of them. This will neither make you tired nor delay things.
After a good night's rest underground, Xu Lai returned to the surface at dawn the next day.
The outer city wall of Qingfeng City is still under construction, but this time the farmers who built the castle are also free.
Moreover, with the blessing of the castle and the head of the God of War, the growth rate has been increased by 150%, and more than 50 farmers can be directly attracted in the new month.
It's a pity that the buildings in the wild cannot be upgraded, and they are not blessed by the castle. Otherwise, if the wild manor were upgraded, more than a hundred farmers could be recruited a month. A few days ago, Xu Lai had reached agreements with several heroes.
Xu Lai came out of the heart of the castle, and they hired people to build villages around Qingfeng City.
These villages do not necessarily have many people, as long as they can appropriately help Qingfeng City and share some of the pressure of the refugees.
Farmers who use farm production dig channels along rivers to build more farmland and produce more food.
Even if the village is not built in the direction of the river, it can be spread out in other directions to form more horse farms and raise more cattle, sheep and horses.
They do not need too many armed personnel. Even if they are upgraded to a town in the future, Qingfeng City will station the security station and the security team will go there.
Xu Lai provided them with security, and they provided Xu Lai with more land, more people, and appropriate grain dividends.
Equivalent to these villages and even towns, Xu Lai has now deprived them of their future sovereignty.
These villages are incomparable to Luo Mingru's. Luo Mingru surrendered to Xu Lai, which was equivalent to paying protection fees, but he still had basic sovereignty.
As for them, they are equivalent to high-level wage earners who can get dividends.
The location of the village they are building needs to be approved by Xu Lai first and cannot affect Xu Lai's own planning.
Because in every place, Xu Lai has to leave space for them to expand and upgrade in the future.
Of course, the upgrade also requires Xu Lai's approval. Xu Lai will never allow them to upgrade privately.
A village is limited by its size and attributes. No matter how large it is, it can only grow more fields and produce more food, but it can't do much.
No hero with any ambition would be willing to accept such an agreement.
Xu Lai did not force them, and they were unwilling to go out to build villages. Xu Lai also had many jobs to provide them.
For example, becoming a team leader, leading the mercenary guards, and guarding the caravan for Xu Lai.
Another example is using your modern mind to be an assistant to Wei Yihong to help manage the market.
It's just that for these jobs, although Xu Lai can give them treatment that is far superior to ordinary people, most of them are not satisfied.
For example, at the beginning of every monster month, if you are lucky, you can catch a group of not-so-powerful wild monsters and destroy them and you will get at least 500 gold coins just by opening the treasure chest.
People who have experienced sudden wealth can easily lose interest in a stable life.
What Xu Lai gave them was only enough to make their living standards surpass those of ordinary people, but it could not make them rich.
However, most of these heroes who lived in Qingfeng City were frustrated.
Regardless of whether they still have dreams or not, Xu Lai at least provides them with a basic development platform. Whether they are willing to accept it or not is their own business.
If they don’t accept Xu Lai’s help, it will be difficult for them to survive.
With the quantity and quality of their troops, except for the fact that the monsters did not gather at the beginning of the month, which may give them a chance, they cannot defeat large-scale wild monsters at all.
Moreover, it is not their turn near the city.
At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Su Ya arranged for troops to sweep the bison herds around the city.
And until Xu Lai returned, the Reina Department, which was sent out for actual combat training, still has not returned.
Leina did not carry many resources, nor did she choose to leave the city too far. She led her troops around Qingfeng City to continuously clear out wild monsters.
In doing so, Lena wanted to quickly become familiar with the troops, their characteristics, combat effectiveness, and fighting methods, and also to make the commanders of these troops accustomed to and familiar with her orders.
At the same time, this is also an exercise for Wang Chao's logistics supply capabilities. In the past few days, Wang Chao has to receive new soldiers and organize them as soon as possible.
On the other side, Wang Chao also needs to supply crossbows and food to Reina's troops.
Reina didn't dare to go far away because the logistics force had not yet formed combat effectiveness, and the food needed to be kept up, as well as the transportation.
Actual combat is the best teacher, and the logistics force has many veterans who serve as the backbone.
It must be said that although the orc attack caused huge damage to the grassland, it also brought a large number of high-quality soldiers to Xu Lai.
Countless noble troops were dispersed, allowing Xu Lai to recruit many high-quality soldiers.
With their help, the growth of the logistics force is also obvious to all.
The entire Qingfeng City was full of busy figures. Xu Lai, who returned to Qingfeng City, seemed to be just an idle person.
Except for the city walls, among all the buildings in Qingfeng City, there is nothing that Xu Laiqu needs to pay special attention to.
The only thing left for Xu Lai seems to be to recruit all the soldiers in each hero building.
After upgrading the castle, the number of angels in Yunzhong City increased to 3, one more than the 2 expected by Xu Lai.
It can be seen that the increase of the golden statue of the God of War and the increase of the castle are not superimposed.
The one left over from last month, plus the three from this month, make a total of four angels.
With these 4 angels, plus the 4 angels brought from underground and the 2 recruited by Yunzhong City last month, there have been 10 angels in this month.
With the addition of these 10 angels, Xu Lai's current angel troop size has finally exceeded 100, including 30 Seraphs, 54 Archangels, and the remaining 20 little angels.
In addition to angels, there are also knights in the harvest.
After upgrading to the knight training camp and castle, the knight training camp alone can produce 15 level 6 knights, plus the 10 in the Hall of Champions, there are 25 level 6 knights.
That is to say, Xu Lai has not yet joined the hands of the God of War, otherwise Qingfeng City alone would be able to gather 30 level 6 knights.
That's not all. The underground Mingyue City also has a cavalry training camp. Due to level restrictions, there is no dual bonus of the base camp and the castle, and only 5 cavalry can be recruited at a time.
Xu Lai brought up all the cavalry produced in the past three months, 15 in total, and sent them to the knight training camp to upgrade, and there were 15 more level 6 knights.
In the past, when there was only one Qingfeng Castle, Xu Lai had to rely on diplomacy to gather these 40 level 6 knights, looking for cavalry such as level 3 rangers everywhere.
Then he took them to upgrade bit by bit, and spent several months in the wilderness to gather dozens of top knights.
Now, after he has a top-level city, he can easily gather a few teams of level 6 knights.
All level 6 knights are like this. Basic infantry and spearmen can even be recruited from towns like Mining Town.
As those heroes build more cities, his troops will snowball in size.
Xu Lai had a good rest underground yesterday, but there was actually one more thing to do.
Under the negotiation and leadership of Wei Yihong, the Naga Kingdom behind Naga Town sent a mission to Qingfeng Town.
After several days of traveling, they should arrive at noon today. As the owner of Qingfeng City, Xu Lai must come out to greet Yi Er in person. (End of this chapter)
