Chapter 10: Extensive Development, Perfecting the Territory
(Woke up this morning to see six thousand more tips, and the flower count is over 1600, it's just that the collections are a bit low. Thank you for the support, brothers! Today I'll be adding two chapters!)
"I'm rich!"
Su Ye was overjoyed.
This purple secret realm had given him five million resources, equivalent to half an SS-grade resource pack.
With these resources, Su Ye would be able to upgrade his territory to level three in a very short time.
It seemed this trip was very worthwhile.
Su Ye put the resources into his Lord's space and left the warehouse.
Then he ransacked the Centaur tribe, gathering wood, stone, iron ore, gold, and so on. He even found about 300,000 gold coins.
But what made Su Ye most happy was a manor behind the Centaur tribe.
It was filled with fruit trees, and Su Ye got a full 50,000 units of food here.
If all the basic resources in the Lord's Era were to be ranked, food would undoubtedly be number one.
Without food, you cannot train troops, and even your existing troops will have problems.
To put it simply, without food, you can't go anywhere.
Fifty thousand units of food would definitely give Su Ye a huge boost in the early stages.
Next, as long as he had enough gold coins, he could mass-produce troops.
He could even train large numbers of dragons, who are big food eaters.
Thinking of this, Su Ye felt a surge of excitement.
He returned to the Centaur Lord's Hall and went through identity verification.
The information was as follows:
【Centaur Territory】
Rank: Purple
Territory Lord: Su Ye
Wood: 12/500,000
Stone: 12/500,000
Iron Ore: 12/500,000
Gold: 12/500,000
Food: 1/5000
Garrisoned Forces: None
Upgrade Requirements: 1 million each of wood, stone, iron ore, and gold.
(ps: The data above (12/500,000), 12 is the current resource reserve, and 500,000 is the total daily production. In other words, every 24 hours, Su Ye will gain 500,000 resources and 5000 food in this secret realm.)
After confirming the information was correct, Su Ye and his people left the Centaur secret realm.
While this secret realm now belonged to him, it was unguarded.
So, Su Ye decided to return to his own territory first, train a group of Centaurs to garrison the secret realm.
Otherwise, if another race found it and took it, that would be embarrassing!
They returned along the same path. It took less than half an hour for Su Ye and his people to return to their territory.
Everything here was fine. The only change was that three goblins had died.
It seemed that the territory had been attacked while Su Ye was gone.
He checked his territory's resources, finding seven million wood and other basic resources, 5.3 million gold coins, and over 50,000 food, all for a level one territory.
The bigwigs from his previous life would surely drop their jaws if they knew about this.
Next, Su Ye began to plan his territory.
Since other buildings couldn't exceed the level of the Lord's Hall, Su Ye decided to upgrade his Lord's Hall to level three first.
"Consuming 200,000 each of wood, stone, iron ore, and gold to upgrade the Lord's Hall to level two."
"Consuming 500,000 each of wood, stone, iron ore, and gold to upgrade the Lord's Hall to level three."
After two upgrades, the Lord's Hall's area increased significantly, becoming a two-story villa. The information was as follows:
【Lord's Hall】
Lord: Su Ye
Level: 3
Alliance: None
Subordinate Territory: None
Buildings: 4/50
Troops: Dragon【Tenth Rank】, Centaur【Fourth Rank】, Goblin【First Rank】
Population: 16/500
Wood: 6.62 million
Stone: 6.62 million
Iron Ore: 6.62 million
Gold: 4.6 million
Food: 50,369
Currency: 0
Upgrade Requirements: 1 million each of wood, stone, iron ore, and gold
After the level upgrade, the number of buildings and population the territory could hold increased several times.
Next, Su Ye began building other buildings.
First came the walls.
In the Lord's World, walls came in two types: wooden fences and stone walls.
Wooden fences were cheap to build, but their defenses were pathetic. Su Ye had plenty of resources, so he naturally wouldn't build such flashy but useless things.
So, he went straight for stone walls.
The cost of building walls was not fixed.
It scaled proportionally to the combined length and width.
Considering his limited resources, Su Ye enclosed an area 1000 meters long and 500 meters wide.
This area wasn't large, but it was all he could manage for now. He would expand later when he had more resources.
"Total wall length is 3000 meters. Consuming 300,000 each of stone and gold, 150,000 each of wood and iron ore."
The system prompt faded, and a series of cracking sounds echoed throughout the territory as construction began.
Su Ye could reduce the construction time by 99%. The entire level 1 wall took only 20 minutes to complete from start to finish.
It was a granite wall two meters high that surrounded the entire territory.
Level 1 walls were truly just walls. There were no battlements, watchtowers, or anything of the sort.
However, being protected by walls increased the sense of security significantly.
Continuing with the upgrade.
"Total wall length is 3000 meters. Consuming 900,000 each of stone and gold, 450,000 each of wood and iron ore."
The level 2 wall was four meters high and had a battlement every 20 meters. The information was as follows:
【Wall】
Level: 2
Length: 3000 meters
Height: 4 meters
Durability: 0/500,000
Upgrade Requirements: 3 million each of stone and gold, 1.5 million each of wood and iron ore
The level 2 wall had a durability of 500,000.
This was the result of digitization. The wall had a digitized durability. It wouldn't be broken until its durability was reduced to zero.
500,000, it could indeed withstand low-level troops for quite a while.
But against a Chilie, a tenth-rank dragon, well, sorry.
500,000 durability, he could easily destroy it in a minute.
Level 2 walls could already defend against heavy crossbows.
Without further ado, let's arrange them.
The firing range of a level 1 heavy crossbow was only 100 meters in radius. To cover the entire 3000 meters of the wall, at least sixteen were needed.
"Consuming 25,000 each of iron ore and gold, 10,000 each of wood and stone to build 1 level 1 heavy crossbow."
"Consuming 25,000 each of iron ore and gold, 10,000 each of wood and stone to build 1 level 1 heavy crossbow..."
【Heavy Crossbow】
Level: 1
Operator: None
Damage: 2000
Attack Interval: 2S (Can be increased with operator experience or talent)
Durability: 0/50000
Upgrade Requirements: 50,000 each of iron ore and gold, 20,000 each of wood and stone
