The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Of course, even so, Xu Lai still couldn't build a complete fortress.

In the past, it was upgraded and newly built. The stone alone consumed thousands of units. Now, there are still more than a thousand units short of building the castle.

Relying on the quarry outside, it should be completed in about a week, and this is when the house or other buildings are no longer under construction.

Xu Lai couldn't afford to wait for a week, but fortunately he didn't need to wait.

It's not that he found enough stones, but he doesn't need to surround the entire town. How can he and the townspeople get in and out and fly out every day?

Therefore, he needs to have city gates and towers where archers can be stationed.

Xu Lai can open up to four gates in the four directions of southeast, northwest, but considering the defensive pressure, he only opened the gates on the south and east.

The east gate is located directly in the military area, making it easier to mobilize cavalry.

The southern gate has nothing to rely on. When you enter, you will find the agricultural area and Swan Lake. The military area is also directly accessible by road, which is very convenient.

The most important thing is that once the two gates are opened, the wood resources increase by 2000 units, but the stone resources suddenly decrease by 2000 units.

While Xu Lai was satisfied with the construction of the fortress, he still had some stones left to support the current daily construction of wooden houses, wood upgrading, etc.

There was no way. Since Xu Lai judged that there was going to be a large-scale migration of people, if he didn't prepare in advance, would he drive people away when the time came.

After reducing resources by half, the construction period was of course greatly shortened, requiring only 500 hours, which is a full 100 hours of work by five farmers.

Of course, in Qingfeng Castle, there is no need to do this.

Ever since Su Ya took back those carpenters and quarry workers, there are two types of farmers in Qingfeng Castle the most, construction workers and farmers.

There are almost 16 in the former and nearly 20 in the latter. The rest are farmers who have changed their jobs to carpenters, quarrymen and even horsemen, and they can no longer change back.

Construction workers can build buildings 50% faster than simple farmers.

It's not much, but with Su Ya's manager bonus, the speed of all construction workers will increase by 70%.

Xu Lai selected the best among these construction workers and selected the six construction workers who were the first to transfer jobs. Two of them had already transferred to higher-level architects.

The speed of architects is 1.5 times that of construction workers, which is equivalent to 2.25 times that of ordinary farmers. With the 20% efficiency blessing of managers, it is not a problem for one to serve as 2.5.

The six construction workers in Xu Lai are equivalent to 11 farmers, and each of them only needs to work 45 hours.

Deducting 8 hours of sleep a day, Xu Lai was more humane and allowed 2 hours to eat and rest, which is equivalent to only needing 3 days to build the entire fortress.

Let Xu Lai hope to see his family's fortress before rushing to study at the military academy.

Moreover, under Su Ya's arrangement, there will be farmers working the night shift, that is, when these six farmers have a rest, other farmers will take over in the evening.

However, there are not many farmers at night, and they cannot maintain the full construction speed.

If Xu Lai really can't wait, he can also find some villagers from refugees and Gram Village to help. They are not as efficient as recruiting farmers, but it is still no problem to help move stones and work hard.

All in all, if necessary, the fort can be built in as little as two days.

If he is willing to invest, Su Ya can even help him build it in one day.

The key is that Xu Lai is really reluctant to part with it now. The spearman camp is worth 5,000 gold, the longbow camp is 6,000 gold, the crossbowman tower and heavy crossbow camp are 9,000 gold, the gryphon fortress is 5,000 gold, and the fortress is 20,000 gold.

Also add 5,000 gold for the previously upgraded Interior Hall and 5,000 gold for the Holy Church.

Before it was time for lunch, Xu Lai had already spent 55,000 gold.

That's not all. It costs 1,500 gold to recruit 5 longbowmen, 1,500 gold for 5 level 4 spearmen, 3,000 gold for 10 heavy crossbowmen, 1,000 gold for 5 priest apprentices, and 2,500 gold for 5 level 4 griffons.

This is another 8,000 gold. In addition to the 45,800 gold he just spent to advance this morning, he has spent 108,800 gold since his return.

And that's not the end.

After the fortress matter was settled, Xu Lai still had to seize the time to do a few other things together.

[Horse Stable]: It can be used to raise horses and speed up the recovery of their physical strength and health.

A war horse that rests in the stable for 8 hours will gain an additional state of "full of energy" and its movement speed will increase by 10% for 7 days.

Construction cost: 2500 gold, 250 units of wood.

[Cavalry Training Camp]: Provides 5 level 4 trainee knights every month. The construction cost is 5,000 gold coins, 200 units of wood, and 100 units of stone.

Note: This building is a heroic building...you can only own one.

Note 2: This building can be upgraded to a knight training camp by spending 10,000 gold coins, 500 units of wood, and 200 units of stone, providing 5 level 6 knights every month.

You can also spend gold coins to directly upgrade level 4 trainee knights and level 5 knight retinues to level 6 knights, which requires a castle.

These two things are really expensive, and they really need to be made.

I won’t go into detail about how important knights are. It’s rare that we can now supply knights. There is no reason not to build them. Even if we don’t upgrade our infantry and archers, we still have to build cavalry.

The stables are equivalent to one-time construction and permanent benefits. Of course, the sooner they are built, the better. By the way, they can also share the pressure on the stables.

At least Xu Lai's own horses, other cavalry, and knights' horses can all be sent to this large stable to rest.

Xu Lai had enough wood to build all these buildings, and there was still a lot of wood left from the stronghold base camp.

This was because all the storage space on his body was full. The trophies he captured from the battlefield were still carried back by the knights and archers when he left, including the horses that he abducted.

Of course, there aren't many of the previous gadgets left, and the real high-end weapons from the past have to be collected when on the battlefield.

The weapons and armors distributed by Count Aini afterwards were only level 3 and 4 weapons and armors, which were used by ordinary orc warriors of level 4 and 5, and were not worth much money if sold.

Originally, Xu Lai didn't care about these trophies. The reason why he accepted them was simply because he didn't want people to think that he was hiding resources.

Otherwise, why would he look down on these low-level goods, so he had to carry them back to his home.

Now he just feels that he was too stupid at that time. In order to prevent those corpses from being damaged, his team's load was actually not full. He could have brought back hundreds more weapons and equipment.

Even if hundreds of pieces of weapons and equipment are worthless, even if they are remelted into steel or iron, they are still worth at least twelve or eight hundred dollars.

Anyway, looking at the current situation, it is impossible for the thousands of weapons and equipment he brought back to rot in the warehouse.

Xu Lai planned to take out all the high-level weapons he had secretly hidden and give them to Wei Yihong and the others to sell.

In addition to these weapons and equipment, the wood should still be worth some money now, and can also be dragged and sold.

In addition, he still has two duplicate architectural drawings here, and he currently has no ideas or funds to open a second town.

If it really doesn't work, it doesn't mean that Wei Yihong can't sell it for a piece, as long as the price is right.

If the price is not right, of course I should save some money and build it in a branch city.

Even if there is no branch city, it can still be built in Gram Town. It is just that every time Xu Lai needs to recruit, he needs to be accompanied by Lazi.

Apprentice knights are more expensive, the same price as griffins, and cost 500 gold each. After recruiting 5 of them, the cost will be 2,500 gold.

All these added up to another ten thousand gold coins.

But even at this point, it's still not the end.

In fact, Xu Lai recruited far more soldiers than these.

Don't forget, there is a hidden artifact hidden in Xu Lai's town, the Foot of the God of War.

The God of War's Foot has three attributes. One is to get 500 gold every day. Even if Xu Lai goes out, the money is not small. It is no longer a small amount of money.

The second is that all troops belonging to the settlement with the Foot of the God of War will have morale +3, and when fighting within the sphere of influence of the settlement, agility +5.

At the beginning, Xu Lai led the Temple Knights. They were not affiliated with Qingfeng Town, so the average morale of the troops was not shown.

However, the third attribute can increase the growth rate of all level 3-4 troops in Qingfeng Castle by 50%.

In other words, Xu Lai could actually recruit a total of 8 spearmen, 6 longbowmen, 7 priest apprentices, 7 griffons, 7 trainee knights and 15 heavy crossbowmen.

And this is not the end.

There is one thing we must not forget. The reason why Xu Lai is so anxious to complete the construction of each building is of course because there are still two days until the end of the month.

To be precise, it is more than a day, because the recruitment quota will be refreshed at 24:00 in the middle of the night.

By that time, there were still 7 infantrymen, 15 spearmen, 16 longbowmen, 15 heavy crossbowmen, 7 priest apprentices, 7 griffons, and 7 trainee knights waiting for him.

Xu Lai took out his Vickery gold coin box. After spending so much time, there were not many gold coins left in it.

He carefully calculated that if he stopped spending money, he should be able to recruit all the soldiers in two days.

However, after recruiting all the soldiers, he would only have a few thousand gold coins left, not even ten thousand.

The only good news is that with another expansion of the army, a large number of military buildings have been constructed and upgraded. The most important thing is that the construction of fortresses has begun, and the progress is not slow.

The daily gold coins of the Interior Department have increased from 280 gold to 360 gold.

I believe that after waiting for two days, taking out the remaining soldiers, and once the fortress is completely built, there will be a relatively large increase in the amount of 360 gold.

If Xu Lai can take advantage of the situation and purchase some more arrow towers, ballistas, ballistas, etc., the price will probably increase.

360 gold means that there is still a gap of 140 gold between Xu Lai and a top fortress owner.

‘No, that’s not how it was calculated. ’

Xu Lai suddenly patted his head, and then said to himself while Su Ya and Yu Lan looked at him with puzzled looks:

"They absorb 500 gold every day because the Interior Department can only absorb 500 gold at most, and even if I can collect 500 gold, it only means that I can only collect 500 gold!"

"What's wrong with Lang Jun?" Yu Lan frowned slightly.

Su Ya also had a worried look on her face and replied: "Is it because I spent too much money and got crazy?" (End of Chapter)
