The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Xu Lai has obtained 4 important components of the golden statue of the God of War.

The feet of the God of War stand on the earth, and the body of the God of War is as high as a two-story building.

Even if Xu Lai's current strength could barely carry this thing and fix it with the feet of the God of War, he didn't have the ability.

But if it were replaced by a thousand-year-old tree spirit that was no shorter than the golden statue of the God of War, it would be easier to do.

The body of the golden statue was placed on the feet of the equally tall God of War.

However, the golden statue of the God of War was not composed. Although the body of the God of War and the feet of the God of War seemed to be one, they could not be connected to each other.

This was not a problem for Bai Yang. She split countless branches from her body and firmly fixed the body of the God of War on the feet of the God of War.

After setting up the body, the next step is to place the head of the God of War.

Just like before, the head of the God of War was firmly fixed on the body of the God of War.

After this step is completed, it should be the turn of the God of War, but unfortunately Xu Lai does not have this component.

Therefore, we had to rely on Bai Yang to use countless branches and vines to create a pair of dead wood hands for the golden statue of the God of War.

This group of large hands made of dead branches firmly grasped the God of War's sword, letting its sword tip point to the ground stand behind the city gate of the base camp.

Those who can enter and leave Xu Lai's base camp are all people worthy of Xu Lai's trust for the time being.

But that may not be the case in the future, especially after the construction of the big market, the number of caravans traveling to and from Qingfeng City has obviously increased.

Qingfeng City currently has two important specialties, horses and crystals, which are strategic-level resources in other cities.

Only in Qingfeng City, you can buy it without any additional requirements.

In addition, high-end equipment, treasures, and props flowing into the market from Xu Lai here are also everywhere.

Before Xu came, he brought back a lot of horse breeders from the stronghold. In addition, most of the refugees who came here were from the grasslands.

The most important thing is that the horses Xu comes here are of extremely high quality, and the patrol team has expanded to about 100 kilometers, which means that the racecourse is extremely wide.

The most important thing in training cavalry is war horses.

This is a resource that both prairie cities and inland cities desperately need.

Even though the dignified King of the Grassland came forward in person and threatened to block Qingfeng City, there were still small caravans running back and forth who were not afraid of death.

The size of the small caravan was limited, so Xu Lai did not hang out those high-end treasures and high-end equipment just to buy and resell for these small caravans.

Xu will definitely want to cooperate with large chambers of commerce in the future, and at least establish stable trading channels.

These little caravans are so courageous that they dare to play hide-and-seek with the King of the Prairie.

But they are not very stable, and will take advantage of this opportunity to try every means to blackmail Xu Lai.

Besides the caravan, Xu Lai would also have to deal with other nobles in the future.

According to the unspoken rules of the nobility in this world, Xu Lai could not discuss matters with them outside. He had to at least invite them to his home for a banquet or something.

"Cover it up, anyway."

The golden statue of the God of War is still too conspicuous. Fortunately, the final combination has not been completed yet. Even if it is covered up, it cannot be regarded as disrespectful to the God of War.

If Xu Lai continues to be so secretive after the assembly of the golden statue of the God of War is completed, I am afraid that His Majesty the God of War will personally come down to earth and give Xu Lai a good beating.

Although the Golden Statue of the God of War failed to be assembled, the effects of the other three components were already effective in Qingfeng Town and Qingfeng Town's sphere of influence.

It is worth mentioning that because of these three God of War components, Qingfeng Town's sphere of influence has expanded a lot. Xu Lai estimates that it extends for at least forty or fifty kilometers.

The more God of War components there are, the greater the impact will be on Qingfeng Town’s sphere of influence.

The attribute bonus it brings alone is equivalent to adding 20 attribute points to all friendly units within Qingfeng Town's sphere of influence.

This is a huge improvement for Qingfeng City's troops, and it is normal for their sphere of influence to increase with the tide.

At this time, even Luo Mingru, who was more than a hundred kilometers away, felt a huge bonus coming out of thin air.

After incorporating Luo Mingru's affiliated towns, Qingfeng City's sphere of influence was increased in reverse.

The Head of the God of War, the Body of the God of War, the Feet of the God of War and the Sword of the God of War, the four God of War components, add up to an additional 2,000 gold coins for Qingfeng City every day.

At the same time, in the Qingfeng City where the God of War component belongs, except for the 5th and 6th level recruiting buildings, the growth rate of all other levels of buildings will be increased by 50%.

Including level 0 farmers produced in large manors, level 2 infantry in infantry training camps, etc., the growth rates are all increased by 50%.

The rest of the archers, crossbowmen, priests, griffins and trainee knights were already buffed by the God of War's feet and were not among those affected this time.

As for the Tier 7 troops, there was only one Yunzhong City in the imperial camp that met the requirements. Unfortunately, Xu Lai could not get the blueprints for this building.

Not to mention him, even the recognized king, His Majesty King Aled of the Northern Empire, still does not have Cloud City in his Emerald City.

In addition, all friendly or friendly units within the influence of Qingfeng City will receive a 5-point strength bonus from the Sword of the God of War, a 5-point physical bonus from the Body of the God of War, and a 5-point intelligence bonus from the Head of the God of War. .

Coupled with the 5-point agility bonus given by the God of War's Feet, it is equivalent to equipping everyone with a prophet's sword.

Compared with the Prophet Sword, it just lacks 5 points of spirit.

Moreover, Xu Lai also knew where these 5 points of spirit were. They were in the hands of the God of War who had not yet been excavated.

In addition to spirit, these three major components are also the same as the Feet of the God of War. Each piece can increase morale by 3 points, but they still need to belong to the troops of Qingfeng City.

This affiliation includes the subsidiary town of Qingfeng City, the town that Luo Mingru has just started to rebuild - Green Willow Town.

It is said that this name is to commemorate his time in Greenwood Town.

In other words, the werewolves and lizardmen commanded by Luo Mingru did nothing and got 20 attribute points and 9 basic morale points in vain.

But not all the troops under Xu Lai's command enjoyed the bonus.

For example, the Gale Knights who have not yet settled down and the newly recruited Angels are all foreign troops. If they want to be blessed, they need to settle down in Qingfeng City first.

But it doesn't matter, Xu Lai's troops are not lacking in morale anyway, and no matter how many artifacts are added, they will only reach 100 points.

The three God of War components consumed most of Xu Lai's merits, totaling more than three million merits.

If the temple had enough experience books, it might be possible to send him to level 100.

Relatively speaking, these more than three million merits, even if they are not spent on experience books, are spent on any artifact or prop, it is more cost-effective.

But if the timeline can be extended a little longer, the cost can still be recovered.

After adding three major components, Qingfeng City's daily income increased to 2,000 gold coins, 1,500 more than before, which is 45,000 gold coins a month and 540,000 gold coins a year.

To recover the cost, it will take about 15 years based on the exchange ratio of gold coins and temple merit.

Therefore, this is not a very cost-effective investment, but it is not too bad. After all, it also has powerful attributes and increases the biological growth rate.

Just a 50% increase in farmers' output helped Xu Lai solve a big problem.

The expansion of Qingfeng City has also included the outdoor manor near the manor. Like the large manor that Xu Lai upgraded, he can enjoy the bonus of the God of War's Head.

This means that at least 12 more farmers are provided a month, which is of great help to Mingyue City, which is short of construction workers and mining workers.

After being upgraded to the base camp, the original Interior Department was also upgraded to the parliament. The speaker was Lazi, who was regarded as the highest chief executive besides Su Ya.

The upper limit of gold coins that the Interior Department can provide every day is 500. Before the three major components are added, Qingfeng City's parliament can only be regarded as the upper-middle level.

Because Qingfeng City has too little infrastructure and a small population, Xu Lai will not come back to settle down, and the number of troops affiliated with Qingfeng City will not be large.

There are still 3,000 infantrymen behind, and after the 2,000 shooters are stationed, Qingfeng City's sphere of influence has expanded a bit, reaching the level of 1,200 gold coins per day.

The upper limit of the Parliament is 2,000 gold coins per day, which is four times that of the Interior Department.

Xu Lai assigned all 600 priests, 100 angels and his own knights to Qingfeng City.

Coupled with the influence of the three artifacts, the sphere of influence has been increased unprecedentedly, and the daily revenue has directly reached the upper limit of the council, which is 2,000 gold coins.

Qingfeng City also has other incomes, first of all, the base tax from farmers' units. After recruiting additional farmers from the Moon of Bones, there are nearly 300 farmers in Qingfeng City alone.

300 farmers can provide 300 gold coins a month.

There was still money for selling shops in Qingfeng City, but it was a one-time use. Su Ya also sold many at a low price in order to upgrade the base camp.

Xu Lai's internal business tax is still based on the default ratio of 11. Calculated based on the average of the past two months, it is about 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins a month.

The highlight is the tariffs charged by other caravans entering and exiting the city, as well as the profits earned by one's own caravan.

However, after the construction of the big market, tariffs have been abolished and directly merged with commercial taxes.

Foreign caravans are also taxed at a ratio of ten to three. If they operate for 10 gold coins, they must pay a tax of 3 gold coins.

At the same time, Xu Lai also planned to make his caravan pay taxes.

The tax revenue from the caravan belongs to the city and is used for the daily maintenance, infrastructure, recruitment, etc. of Qingfeng City.

The remaining profits were used to pay wages to the caravan, invest in expansion, and Xu Lai's own income.

After formalized management, city income and personal income must also be clearly distinguished.

But Xu Lai doesn't have the manpower to do this for the time being, so he should concentrate all the wealth in Xu Lai's hands first.

With the establishment of a large market, an average of less than 100,000 gold coins were collected a month some time ago. Recently, caravans have been suppressed, and taxes have dropped significantly.

Therefore, the addition of the three major artifact components can greatly increase the wealth of Qingfeng City.

Even according to the current market conditions, Qingfeng City can earn nearly 200,000 gold coins a month, an increase of at least one-third. (End of chapter)
