Chapter 128
The Undercity.
Demon King's Castle.
"Tell the Lord!"
Li Si came to report and said, "The eleven demon kings and the tribes controlled by the Divine Sword Warrior Regiment have been exterminated!"
"Not bad!"
"It's quite efficient!"
"How is the deployment of the Bloody Fortress?"
Li Si immediately replied: "Lord, the five thousand combat soldiers and five thousand hard laborers you just recruited have been teleported. "
"As for Beast City and Giant Tree City, they will each select five thousand elite legions, and they can also arrive and form a fortress legion within a few days!"
After the capture of the fortress
I've been working on the aftermath these days.
Zhang Mu built the third-order attack building Thunder Tower for the fortress, and the second-order reconnaissance building Yuanwang Tower, and now a powerful fortress army is about to be completed.
He planned.
In the future, two dragon priests, eight dragon generals, and three thousand evil eyes will be arranged to the bloody fortress.
This will greatly increase the strength of the fort.
More than 10 times stronger than when the Excalibur Warriors were captured!
Light a few thousand evil eyes.
It's enough to be a husband and a wife.
Make it a bridgehead against the Empire.
Of course.
Nevertheless, under the deployment.
The Bloody Fortress is already strong,
But to completely defend an empire.
It also needs to be built stronger, with more defenses, and with more and stronger units...... It's just not an easy task.
Raise an army for a long time.
The cost is staggering.
Although Zhang Mu has a strong foundation, if the proportion of fiscal expenditure is too high, it will still slow down the development of the territory itself.
So.
On the one hand, it is necessary to feed the war with war, and let the army itself create value to cover the cost.
On the one hand, it is necessary to increase the construction of the territory, and constantly increase the financial capacity of the territory and the capacity of resource production.
Current.
The areas controlled by the Demon King are:
Dark City, Giant Tree City, Beast City, Bloody Fortress.
In addition, dozens or hundreds of miscellaneous tribes or villages, if regarded as a whole, it is also a large scale, with more than 100,000 indigenous people.
Among them.
The Undercity is the home base.
In the future, it will be developed into a main city.
Giant Tree City and Beast City are the two closest cities, and they also have the most potential for future development.
And in terms of income.
The Undercity earns the most and spends the most.
In addition to maintaining various facilities and various construction expenses, tens of thousands of new people have been added recently, which has reduced the financial revenue, but the average daily net income can also maintain about 150,000 gold coins.
The average daily contribution of Giant Tree City has reached 1340,000 gold coins, which is almost the same as that of the Undercity, and if it maintains its current situation, it will soon surpass the Undercity.
The development of Beast City was not long ago.
The income is naturally the lowest.
But gold mines are quick to realise money.
Therefore, you can contribute three or four gold coins per day.
As for the subordinate tribes, the average daily output value of these places is basically negligible.
Of course.
These incomes.
Purely production income.
The true gross income is more than that.
Because for the Demon King, the income does not come from production.
Dragonmen, elves, orcs, and especially the major tribes, either for food or safety, send people to hunt nearby every day.
Monster killing process.
Gold can also be generated.
All of them add up to an average of 320,000 per day.
Zhang Mu's total income is not difficult to calculate, and there are more than 300,000 gold coins every day.
This is a lot of income, and it is definitely more than enough to maintain the current development, and it is enough to dominate the entire Chaos Forest, but it is still far from enough to fight against the Empire, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Come to think of this.
Open the Demon King chat channel.
Zhang Mu sent out an acquisition message: "Collect Lingtian drawings at a high price, building upgrade scrolls, and some can be traded directly with me." "
After speaking.
It's right in the trading area.
Hang out a purchase order.
[Drawing: Lingtian], the purchase price of each copy is 180,000 gold coins!
[First-Order Ordinary Building Upgrade Scroll], limited to 10 copies, each purchase price is 20,000 gold coins!
[Second-Order Ordinary Building Upgrade Scroll], limited to 10 copies, each purchase price is 80,000 gold coins!
[Third-Order Ordinary Building Upgrade Scroll], the purchase price is 300,000 gold coins per copy!
The Lingtian scroll is only a first-order blueprint, and if you are lucky enough, you can burst out by farming the small tribe of goblins, but it has been speculated at a sky-high price in the market.
The few Lingtian drawings that have been sold recently have generally reached 150,000 gold coins, which is more expensive than most third-order drawings.
Zhang Mucai is generous.
The acquisition was made at a price of 180,000 copies.
This is enough to make all the demon kings who hold Lingtian drawings and wait to sell them at a price!
After all, not all demon kings can farm, and it has to do with the environment they are in and the production units they can have.
If Zhang Mu only has dragon people.
It's hard to take the farming route.
Because the dragon people have no planting skills, and without planting blessings to guide, the Lingtian plants will easily die, and the harvest will be far lower than expected.
Except for Lingtian drawings.
Also heavily acquired upgrade scrolls.
The purchase price is 10-20% higher than the market price.
This wealthy behavior caused a sensation in the demon king group.
"The Potato Demon King is here again!"
"I'm actually going to buy a new Lingtian!"
"This big guy's output is scary enough, aren't you satisfied?"
"If there are a few more spiritual fields, how much grain and herbs will have to be produced, this is to prepare for the great cause of farming until the sky is wasted!"
"Grass! Protest! It's great to have money, it's price gouging!"
"That's right, raise the price so much at once, and let others not develop?
"What two stupid hats upstairs!"
"Potato boss, don't be like them!"
“......"
Although the Lingtian drawings can be exploded in low-level areas, the overall outbreak rate is not too high, and the supply exceeds demand for the Demon King.
There is no advantage in price.
How can you get it?
Zhang Mu doesn't care about tens of thousands of gold coins, and offers a higher price than others, which is a market behavior, and it can't be regarded as price gouging.
[Successful transaction, gold -20,000, get "1st Order Ordinary Building Upgrade Scroll" ×1!]
[Successful transaction, gold -20,000, get "1st Order Ordinary Building Upgrade Scroll" ×1!]
[Successful transaction, gold -20,000, get "1st Order Ordinary Building Upgrade Scroll" ×1!]
【......】
[Transaction successful, gold -80,000, get "2nd Order Normal Building Upgrade Scroll" ×1!]
Lingtian drawings are not available for the time being.
There are quite a few normal building upgrade scrolls.
The first-order upgrade scrolls received 8 copies one after another, and the second-order upgrade scrolls received 2 copies before and after, spending a total of 320,000 gold coins.
The Tier 1 Upgrade Scroll can upgrade a Tier 1 building to a Tier 2 building.
The Undercity currently has a large number of first-order buildings, such as the five Wraith Towers in the Dark Canyon, such as the Tower of Mist, the Tower of Enchantment, the Tower of Detection, the Dark Dungeon, and the Minotaur Camp.
Upgraded them all.
The overall strength of the territory will inevitably rise by a large margin.
The power of the second-order Wraith Tower is several times greater than that of the first-order.
With five second-order Wraith Towers, plus a long-term garrison of the canyon undead, even if it encounters attacks from various large tribes and even the regular army of Forest City, it can easily keep enemies out of the gates of the Undercity.
Next.
The Dark Dungeon, the Tower of Mist, and the Minotaur Camp were upgraded in turn.
After these places are upgraded, the function is still the same, but it is undoubtedly more powerful, such as the dark dungeon can hold fourth-order units, and the dungeon space is twice as large as before.
Followed by.
Upgrade drawings with a second-order upgrade.
The Tower of the Mists has been raised one more time.
When the Tower of Mist is upgraded to the third order, the Mist Enchantment covers a larger area, not only affecting the intruder's vision, but also creating a mirage-like illusion.
Even.
Dispel B-class magic on it.
The range of fog that can be dispelled has also become very limited.
The Tower of the Third Order of Mist is enough to greatly increase the security of the territory.
As for the remaining second-order upgrade scrolls, Zhang Mu did not hesitate to use them on top of the spiritual field, upgrading the second-order spiritual field of the territory to the third-order spiritual field.
[Do you want to upgrade the second-order spiritual field?]
[This upgrade requires consumption: "Second Order Upgrade Scroll" × 1, "Gold Coins" × 200,000, "Life Gems" × 300, "Earth Gems" × 200, "Water Sapphire" × 100!]
Zhang Mu seems.
I can't help but be a little staggered.
That's ten times more expensive than upgrading the Tower of Mist!
Zhang Mu didn't hesitate, gathered the materials, and upgraded immediately!
【Upgrade Successful!】
[Lingtian area +50%, growth rate +30%, super Lingtian +1 mu!]
The energy in the soil of the Lingtian grows further.
The scale of the farm reached two hundred and twenty-five acres, and the growth rate was close to twenty times, which was almost double compared to the spiritual field of the first order.
Besides.
The center of the third-order Reitian.
One more area is different.
The color of this extra field is darker, and every grain of soil seems to contain an infinite amount of life energy.
This is a "super spiritual field" that will only be born in the third-order spiritual field, don't look at only a small piece, its energy density is three times higher than the surrounding spiritual soil.
If it is said.
Ordinary Lingtian District.
Crops can grow nearly twenty times as much.
Then the Super Lingtian District will reach sixty times!
This acre of super spiritual field can feed an army!
This area can be used exclusively for the cultivation of rare medicinal herbs, especially some precious crops that often have a growth cycle of more than ten or eight years, or for the growing environment, energy requirements and their harsh requirements.
After the Lingtian upgrade.
The cost of army expansion was immediately reduced.
The Undercity's income could grow further.
Zhang Mu did not receive the Lingtian drawings and third-order drawings for the time being, probably because these two types of drawings were too rare and needed to take a little time and patience.
Zhang Mu himself had a fourth-order upgrade volume.
This is a reward earned in the Sealed Lands.
It can be used to upgrade the Altar of Flame, or the Tower of the Evil God's Eye, but the cost of upgrading the fifth order is too high, and he can't take it out for the time being.
Not to mention these two fourth-level buildings.
Its functionality is sufficient for now.
Rather than forcibly escalating, it is better to stay first.
After a round of updates, the Dark City has become more profound, but there are not many gold coins and resources left in Zhang Mu's hand.
The Great Demon King decided.
Quicken the pace of annexation.
There are dozens of forest cities in the Chaos Forest.
There are more than a dozen large-scale cities like Beast City and Giant Tree City!
Every time the Demon King conquers and captures a region, this act itself can obtain a large amount of materials and rewards, not to mention that the resources and population of each captured area are valuable.
in the process.
You can also kill warriors to get souls.
Zhang Mu immediately held a meeting, told his subordinates his ideas, and got everyone involved, preferably split up to increase efficiency.
When I learned what he thought.
Everyone at the scene was stunned by this crazy idea
The city lord of Beast City, Gru, was incredulous: "His Majesty the Demon King intends to annex all the forest cities and conquer the entire Chaos Forest?!"
Chaos Forest since ancient times.
The chances of the emergence of the forces of great unification are rare.
This is mainly the result of both internal and external factors.
The internal reason is that there are dozens of races living in the Chaos Forest, each of which has different living habits, personalities and cultures, and unless there is an overwhelming force in all aspects, no one will accept each other.
The external reason is that the Chaos Forest has been surrounded by large empire-level forces for a long time, and these forces never want to see the internal unity of the Chaos Forest, and the more chaotic the Chaos Forest is, the safer it is for them.
"I've made up my mind!"
Zhang Mu said directly: "This forest has been chaotic for tens of thousands of years, and the endless tribal killings have caused serious internal friction, and it's time to establish order!"
When people don't expect it.
The elves, who have always loved peace and don't like it, were the first to take a stand.
"I support Your Majesty's decision!" Nancylia said firmly: "The Chaos Forest can't go on like this! Someone has to put an end to this situation! I believe Your Majesty definitely has such strength and qualifications!"
The little city lord had already guessed it.
His Majesty the Demon King will take this step.
Although it was a little earlier than expected, she was not surprised.
She has been given high hopes by her clan since she was a child, and as a natural elven king, she will be able to revive elves in the future and then dominate the Chaos Forest.
Nancylia thought clearly.
Even if she really had the strength of a king, she didn't have the ability to dominate this batch of forests, and the high expectations of the Great Elder and others made her breathless.
Fortunately.
His Majesty the Demon King is here.
He is a well-deserved emperor.
The Chaos Forest has welcomed its true master!
