In addition to upgrading the territory, he also had to clear the lord's fortress, and by the way, he used the [Level 8 City Lord's Mansion Upgrade Voucher].

Thinking about coming to the eighth-level City Lord's Mansion, it should become stronger.

After sitting on the bed and thinking for a while, he still got up, put on his equipment and left the room along the stairs to the hall of the lord's fortress.

Looking at the three girls who are busy in the kitchen, they fell into deep thought...

About twenty minutes later, Zong Shen sat down at the dining table, and three different breakfasts were placed in front of him.

Breakfast made by Luna, Tasia, and Aishia respectively.

The three girls stood beside them, looking at Zong Shen expectantly.

I don't know if this is an alternative Shura field!

In order to prevent the third daughter from making any mistakes, he could only eat one portion at a time.

These three breakfasts were solved in threes and fives.

Even with his physique, he felt slightly bloated, and his hunger and fullness were immediately full.

"belch!"

After hiccupping loudly, he stroked his stomach.

Seeing this, the three women left with satisfaction.

At this point, except for Mariel who is still resting, everyone is basically up.

Vereesa didn't know where she took Zoe Babbitt for a stroll again.

Speaking of which, Zong Shen didn't see Xiao Heizi for the past two days, that guy seemed to have slipped back into the poisonous swamp by himself.

However, its loyalty has not changed significantly, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

While the three women were leaving, Zong Shen got up slowly. Instead of leaving the fort, he went straight up to the top tower of the fort.

The height here is equivalent to more than ten floors, enough to overlook most of the territory.

Except for a few epic buildings and legendary buildings, most buildings in the territory are not so tall.

So Zongshen has an excellent observation field of vision here, which is just right for him to upgrade his territory.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for him to come here after the lord's fortress was upgraded to level seven.

There are four sentry towers in the lord's fortress. Except for the seventh floor of the main body, each of these four sentry towers is about 30 meters high. There will be a combat platform every five or six meters, and various defensive equipment can be arranged on it.

The spiral steps can go straight to the top floor, which is also the commanding height of the fort.

After Zong Shen raised the lord's fortress to level eight, the height of the entire fortress will be further increased.

Looking in all directions, he could see circles of five-tiered city walls.

There is also a defensive tower matrix distributed behind the city wall defense line, which also presents an echelon formation.

Although there are thousands of defensive towers, they are not enough to surround them in a circle with luxury.

Therefore, after referring to the attack characteristics and ranges of various defense towers of each level, the defense towers are still arranged in the form of a defense matrix, which can ensure the defense balance inside and outside the territory.

The most important thing is that after the defensive towers are formed into a matrix, they can cooperate with each other at different levels and types.

It is very important to realize the attack complementarity of the defense tower.

Because different defense towers have different advantages, disadvantages and characteristics, after a reasonable combination, they can learn from each other's strengths.

Except for the two more exotic [Sixth-Rank Flame Towers (Golden)] which were placed on the periphery, the other defensive arrow towers were all within the city wall circle.

The characteristics of the two towers of flames are rather strange, they tend to be "melee towers".

Not only can it stretch, but it can also rotate and breathe fire, just like the legendary "Roman torch".

When there are enemies within the range, it can turn around with magic power.

The characteristics of this defensive tower are destined to be placed on the periphery.

Zong Shen didn't know how long they could keep them. Anyway, one was placed in the north, and the other was placed in the south. They were all about four to five hundred meters away from the outermost city wall.

That position can be covered by the attack of most of the defense tower matrix in the first circle.

In addition, after shrinking the defense of the territory, the defense towers in the center circle can basically take care of most of the area, which greatly increases the attack density of the defense towers.

But most areas of living areas, commercial areas, agricultural areas, and industrial areas will be exposed.

Some key buildings have been relocated to the central area to ensure that the basic wartime production capacity will not be stagnant when the defense is challenged. .

As for the farming and pastoral areas, I can't take care of them.

The previously surviving cattle and sheep in the paddocks were slaughtered.

Anyway, Master Mars still has a large ranch on standby.

As for agriculture, there is no need to worry, the farming in the territory is already in a blank state.

The [Farm Tower (Purple)] responsible for guarding the agricultural area was moved to the side of the Lord's Fortress.

In the courtyard of the fortress, senior agronomist Salome Linyu cultivated several cultivation fields.

In addition to the sweet potato vines, the seeds of other crops that have recently been obtained have also been sown.

Everything is ready, only the defense challenge is over!

At present, the defensive circle is basically formed. As long as all the personnel are withdrawn into the central area by then, the attacking party should not be interested in the empty buildings on the periphery.

Even if those buildings destroy the surrounding buildings, the ultra-long-range defense towers in the territory can take the opportunity to show their power and have more output time.

In fact, even if building damage is included in the score, there must be a set of rigorous calculation formulas.

For example, those whiteboard buildings and basic buildings, such as [double-layer stone house], [folk house] and other low-level workshops, must be incomparable with those excellent-level or even higher-level buildings.

At this time, all high-level buildings in the territory are basically in the central area.

Ninety-nine percent of the remaining peripheral buildings are basic buildings and whiteboard buildings.

This is also one of Zong Shen's arrangements.

That's what it means to be prepared.

After looking around for a week, he was still very satisfied with the progress of the territory's defense infrastructure.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the [Communication Crystal] and contacted Howie.

Ask him to notify immediately, and recall all non-combat citizens outside the coverage of the territorial defense matrix to the territory, and the combat subjects can be divided into small groups in an orderly manner, and go to the periphery of the territory to roam and patrol.

After the notification, he contacted Vereesa and asked her to find Reese Ulysses.

About five or six minutes later, the mid-level space mage Reese Ulysses flashed in front of him with a flash of blue light.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

She bent her body and nodded slightly to Zong Shen.

After not seeing her for several days, her face seemed to be more lively.

Loyalty has also increased to over 90 points.

You must know that Zong Shen didn't give her anything, and these loyalty were gradually increased in her daily life in the territory.

It shows that Reese Ulysses is still very satisfied with the life and daily life in the territory.

Zong Shen nodded slightly.

"You just stand by here, and use the flash to take me to run errands later."

That's right, Zong Shen was going to let her use flashes to help him travel.

In a way, Blink is better than flying mounts.

This is especially true when traveling short distances of tens of kilometers.

It's just a little mana cost, but now the territory has also stockpiled a batch of mana springs.

At least Rhys Ulysses will not lack mana.

After a brief explanation, Zong Shen put his hands on the edge of the sentry tower and slowly looked at the scenery.

After another ten minutes, he saw that the farmers on the outskirts had all returned to the central area, and the soldiers all formed a small team and dispersed before standing up straight.

He turned on the [Territory] option, and a line of subtitles appeared, showing the status information of the territory.

[Territory: Level 8]

[City Lord's Mansion: Level 7]

[Current expandable range: 9,000 meters in radius, complete the land expansion task to expand successfully]

【Click to start expansion】

Level 9 Territory Expansion will attract 90 random hostile targets within a radius of 45 kilometers.

Zong Shen didn't care about it, and even yawned.

One thing to say, based on the current situation, it is uncertain whether there are 90 hostile targets within 45 kilometers around the territory!

The lords were like locusts, killing all the beasts such as "prairie bulls", "prairie wolves", and "prairie tigers".

In addition, various monsters have also suffered bad luck.

The stronger monster lords will team up to fight in groups, and the weaker monster lords will be wiped out directly.

Since the arrival of the lords, there have been a lot fewer bandits, horse bandits, and rogues on the Endless Continent...

This is the stark reality.

In addition, the lords also had a certain impact on the ecology of the Endless Continent.

Such as vegetation cutting, stone collection, plant collection and other behaviors are the same.

Now some of the lords have changed the way of playing. They are looking for wasteland in the wild, and then planting saplings spawned by natural magic.

By shortening the growth cycle of harvesting saplings, logging can be carried out quickly.

The small tree felled is equivalent to one or two lumber.

Those lords who are close to the forest or in the mountains are more comfortable.

Open up forest farms directly on the spot, and there is no shortage of wood at all.

Moreover, the amount of wood that can be exchanged for each tree is different.

The older the tree, the thicker the tree, the more equivalent timber resources.

In addition, there are many gaudy tree species in the Endless Continent, which can be cut down to obtain different types and effects of wood.

Zong Shen has basically never been short of resources since he landed, so he has not studied this issue. When he chose to expand his territory, he took out [The Prophet's Eye of Sharp Vision (orange)] and activated the [ The effect of visual enhancement], obtained super vision.

This is not over yet, he took out the [Single-person telescope (purple)].

The two effects stack together to give him super scary vision and range of vision.

In order to avoid accidental injury, he used the authority of the lord to remotely disable the automatic attack of the giant turrets in the territory. After waiting for a full ten minutes, the giant crossbow tower with the longest range other than the giant turrets took the lead.

Accompanied by the reverberation of the strong strings, giant crossbows as thick as thighs were fired.

Through super vision, he saw that the intruders turned out to be a few mountain wild bears.

In the next ten minutes, various beasts appeared one after another in other directions.

Without exception, all of them were shot and killed by the giant ballista several kilometers away.

The scattered warriors dragged the beast's carcasses back into their territory.

There are a total of thirty-six beasts, and after all of them are processed, they can get a lot of meat and fur.

It took half an hour before and after, and the hostile targets that attacked were only these thirty-six beasts.

Seeing the reminder of successful expansion in front of him, Zong Shen felt a little helpless.

Without any hesitation, he proceeded to expand.

A level 10 territory will expand the scope of the territory to a radius of 10 kilometers and attract hostile targets within 50 kilometers around the territory.

Let alone fifty kilometers, Zong Shen has no opponent even within two or three hundred kilometers!

The two bullies in the area—the goblin tribe in the forest and the black dragon in the poisonous swamp—were all killed or subdued by him. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the real bully in the area.

This time Zong Shen waited for a full twenty minutes, and the assailant appeared only after his super vision failed.

It seemed to be a group of bandits, but the equipment seemed to be good. A large part of the bandits seemed to be wearing Avalon's standard light armor, but they were paired with other equipment, which looked a little uneven.

Through the attack report, he saw the name prefixes of these attackers.

【Defected Light Cavalry from Seakabang City】

…

[Wandering light swordsman in Seakabang City]

…

He knew about Saiakabang City, which was in a state of turmoil next to Bosbang.

It seems that the problem there is very serious. Even the Bangcheng army defected in a group and wandered here!

These defectors are basically second-tier Avalon soldiers, including a small number of third-tier fighters. There are seventy or eighty people in total, and they are considered to be a wandering rebel army.

It's just not worth mentioning to Zong Shen.

About one-third of these bandits were the original Avalon light cavalry, and they rode batches of mixed-breed prairie horses, but those horses didn't seem to be in high condition, and each one was very thin.

The defection and wandering caused them to lose the supply of fine forage, and the continuous running was rapidly consuming the muscles and fat of the horses.

Zong Shen was very interested in those mixed-breed prairie horses, so he closed the defense towers in the territory.

Take out the [Communication Crystal] to contact Colby, and ask him to surround him with the Wolf Cavalry Squadron and the Lion Knights.

If you can capture them alive, you can capture them alive, if you can't capture them alive, you will kill them on the spot. The equipment will be stripped off, and the corpses will be piled up and burned directly!

As for the horse, try to keep it!

Those wandering warriors who defected appeared in the southeast of the territory.

It just corresponds to the direction where Saikabang City is located.

After Colby received the order, a wolf cavalry squadron and lion knights rushed over immediately.

There are not too many buildings in the south, UU reading www.uukanshu. com so the two sides met in the open field.

Relying on the superiority in numbers and level-level suppression, Colby and his men easily dealt with this group of wandering fighters.

Killed 21, captured 56 people, got a total of 33 horses, and killed two horses by mistake.

This result was still within Zong Shen's acceptance range.

The whole battle lasted no more than ten minutes, but three wolf cavalrymen were also injured.

[Territory expansion completed]

[Current Territory Level: 10]

After going up two levels in a row, it was past nine o'clock in the morning.

As the level of the territory increases, the time required for the expansion of the territory will be longer.

And the difficulty of the territory expansion task is getting lower and lower!
