Chapter 215: Launching Large-Scale Construction! Building a City!

After Qin Luo listed all the items, the sky had already brightened; the time had reached the early morning of the seventh day.

There were only three days left until the Monster Tide appeared!

"It's time to start building the territory!"

Qin Luo looked out and saw a large army slowly walking toward him. In addition to the Undead army led by the Undead Monarch, there were nearly 100,000 Goblins, equivalent to one-third of the Goblin Race's population!

Territory construction is imminent, and naturally, a large number of Goblins are needed to participate in the construction.

Only in this way can a territory with copper walls and iron bastions be built in a very short time to cope with the coming crisis.

Qin Luo did not underestimate the threat of the Monster Tide because of his own increasing strength.

Because one can see a clue from the dark offensive every night: the stronger the lord's strength, the larger the scale of the dark offensive faced.

That is to say, when Qin Luo's territory level is higher and his strength is stronger, the scale of the Monster Tide he faces will be dozens or even hundreds of times that of other ordinary lords.

Of course, even without the Monster Tide, the plan to build the domain should have been put on the agenda.

Otherwise, such a large territory would be empty and flat, making it very easy for enemies to invade.

After praising the Undead Monarch, Qin Luo let him lead the Undead army away to patrol the surroundings of the territory and sweep away nearby threats. Of course, if he could encounter Silver-realm creatures and kill them, that would be even more perfect!

Now the territory is in the novice protection period, so there is no need to worry about being invaded by enemies, and one can boldly and confidently put military forces into expanding territory and investing in war.

"Thank you for your praise, Lord!"

But its combat power is even stronger than when it was alive.

"It makes this lord very satisfied!"

"Lord, I have not failed your mission; the Goblin King has bowed his head!"

However, at this time in front of Qin Luo, they all showed fear and uneasiness, lowering their heads and not daring to look directly at Qin Luo.

Anyway, directly transforming the Goblin King into an Undead turns him into an Undead of the same tier. Although his combat power is certainly not as powerful as the Undead Monarch, he wins because of his low cost; he only needs to consume some energy plus a corpse, without needing expensive materials like Magic Crystals and metal resources.

Qin Luo said with a gratified expression.

In the past, they were all existence that could summon wind and rain.

When they met yesterday, perhaps they didn't feel any threat from Qin Luo.

One is the Undead Nether Dark Wolf, whose realm has reached the Bronze peak.

Even though Qin Luo has a million-strong army under his command, in reality, the number of Undead permanently stationed in the territory is at most 10,000.

But now, the aura Qin Luo revealed gave them a sense of oppression.

The Underground World is not just a Goblin City with complete supporting facilities; the various mining areas cannot be ignored either, as they can extract large quantities of metal resources.

In terms of attributes, it is indeed a bit weaker than before death.

Other Undead are all performing various tasks outside the territory, and basically, unless there are special circumstances, they will not return to the territory, always fighting and killing outside.

The so-called awe is because Qin Luo's energy is more terrifying than they imagined; they didn't expect Qin Luo to have such a powerful subordinate as the Undead Monarch.

Although Qin Luo's realm is only Bronze Two-Star, his four-dimensional attributes are much higher than the two of them!

Its realm, like before death, reached Silver One-Star.

Maikai and Tuoboer hurriedly said, a touch of shock and awe appearing in their eyes as they looked at Qin Luo.

As for the shock, it is because Qin Luo's own aura is more powerful than yesterday.

Standing at the very front are Maikai and Tuoboer.

This time, the Undead Monarch only brought back his direct subordinates, that is, the Undead he transformed and summoned, when he returned to the lord.

The Undead Monarch walked to Qin Luo's side, and behind him stood two figures.

The other one is the Goblin King killed by the Undead Monarch; after his death, his corpse was transformed by the Undead Monarch into an Undead Goblin King.

To prevent accidents, it is natural to exercise strict control over the Goblins.

"Not bad, your performance last night was very eye-catching!"

"I won't say anything else; based on your performance, I will retain your original status in the Goblin Race!"

The person in front of them is the lord of the Undead Monarch who defeated the Goblin King!

As long as he controls the Underground World, Qin Luo can continuously obtain huge wealth from it.

After all, the Goblin Race has just surrendered, and it is inevitable that there will be some Goblins who are dissatisfied and hostile to the Undead.

Behind Maikai were some important high-level figures of the Goblin Race.

"I dare not take credit; in fact, we didn't help much!"

These Goblins are not weak in realm; the lowest are Black Iron realm, and many are Bronze realm.

And these metal resources can be put into the military industrial production line to be forged into equipment and arms on the one hand, and sold on the market to exchange for energy points on the other.

"Your performance was also very good!"

"Whatever status you had in the Goblin Race before, and whatever life you lived, it will be the same under him in the future!"

After the Undead Monarch left, Qin Luo turned to look at the group of Goblins beside him.

In addition, now that Qin Luo is preparing to build the territory and launch large-scale construction, it is natural that a large amount of metal resources will be invested!

Because of the various attribute bonuses of the territory, its combat power has skyrocketed by a level!

Therefore, Qin Luo did not let the Undead Monarch keep the Goblin King's corpse.

As for the remaining 200,000 Undead army, they are still stationed in Goblin City and various mining areas to prevent riots.

"For meritorious officials, I will never treat them unfairly!"

Qin Luo said to the two.

Tuoboer did not really have much performance in the process of capturing Goblin City.

After all, the many back-up plans he prepared before the war did not actually play a role.

On the contrary, Maikai assisted Wang Yi in successfully taking down the territory outside the underground city, which was a great contribution.

Therefore, Qin Luo did not revoke his profession as a Great General; this is the reward for his meritorious service.

Of course, now that the Goblin Race has surrendered, the Goblin army's equipment has all been handed over, the establishment has been broken up, and they have been assigned to work in various places; some have gone to the arms production line, and some have been sent to mining areas to mine!

This so-called Great General profession is actually in name only, without real power; it is just a symbol.

But having this identity, at least one doesn't have to do hard labor every day like the bottom-level Goblins.

"As for other Goblins, because of the agreement with the Goblin King, I will spare their lives and will not pursue past deeds, but they will all be demoted to civilian status, hand over all property, and will need to work to obtain food and other living resources in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the complexions of the group of Goblin nobles and high-level figures behind Maikai changed drastically, and some Goblins even showed dissatisfaction.

However, even if they were dissatisfied, no one dared to speak out to refute Qin Luo's decision.

When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads!

What's more, even the Goblin King is dead; what capital do they have to resist?

Opposing Qin Luo, are they tired of living?

Although Qin Luo deprived them of their wealth and power, he did not kill them all; at least he left them a way to live, so as not to push them too hard and cause them to rise up in resistance!

"Do you have any objections to this!"

Qin Luo asked.

"Everything will follow the lord's arrangements!"

Maikai turned to look at the Goblins behind him and said, "We absolutely obey!"

"Very good!"

"Working under me, this lord will never treat you unfairly!"

"Now I give you a task, which is to build the territory, using the Goblin City blueprint as a template!"

"But reduce some residential and life entertainment buildings, mainly focusing on military buildings."

"In three days, the territory will be attacked by a powerful and unknown enemy!"

"Before that, I need you to build the territory into a copper wall and iron bastion at the fastest speed to resist the enemy's attack!"

Qin Luo said to the Goblins. "During this period, the daily living expenses of the Goblins participating in the territory construction will all be covered by this lord!"

"Okay, Lord!"

"Our Goblin Race has a group of excellent construction workers and architects; we will definitely not live up to the lord's expectations!"

"However, if you want to build the territory to the scale of a city, you need to invest a large amount of basic resources and metal resources..."

Tuoboer pondered for a while and said.

He is a Full-Occupation Master, and naturally, he is also an architect!

The formation of Goblin City was largely designed and built by Tuoboer himself!

"You don't need to worry about resources!"

"Whatever resources you need, whatever resources you lack, just tell me!"

"It's best to make a list, and I will find a way for you, even for some special materials!"

Qin Luo said.

Building a city is a huge project, which not only requires a lot of manpower and time but also consumes a lot of resources and materials.

There are some resources and materials that Goblins may not be able to get their hands on.

But for Qin Luo, it is not a problem at all.

As a lord, he can purchase some materials or resources not found in the Barren Land from other lords through the Trading Market!

For example, a large amount of stone and wood.

There are a lot of metal resources in the Barren Land, but there are not many stones and trees, and their reserves are not even as good as Red Iron!

Of course, stone and wood are just the most basic materials; even with a large amount of stone and wood, the strength of the built city is very limited.

If conditions permit, ordinary stone can be replaced with harder Blue Steel Stone, and wood can be replaced with Iron Fir Wood...

With material upgrades, the city built will naturally have better defensiveness!

In addition, Qin Luo also took out some building blueprints he obtained earlier, including the special blueprint "Ten Thousand Mile City Wall," which can change according to the size of the territory!

"Okay, Lord, we will build a prototype of the city as soon as possible in the next three days!"

"I think the most important thing is the construction of the city wall; after all, to resist enemy invasion, the city wall is an extremely important link!"

"In addition, we can place some Magic Energy Giant Cannons, Magic Energy Arrow Towers, etc., on the city wall..."

Tuoboer said. "Regarding the size of the city wall, do you have any thoughts or suggestions, Lord!"

"Tentatively build a city wall within a 1,000-meter radius centered on the castle!"

Qin Luo thought for a while and said.

The territory range of a Bronze Two-Star territory is a 1,600-meter radius.

However, there is no need for the city wall to be directly based on the 1,600-meter standard.

On one hand, time does not allow it; after all, there are only three days to work.

On the other hand, it is for the sake of battle, because within the territory range, combat units will receive additional bonuses!

Combat units fighting within the territory have their Attack, Defense, Movement Speed, and HP increased by 90%

And when fighting outside the territory, Attack, Defense, Movement Speed, and HP are increased by 9%

So as long as Qin Luo is not stupid, he will choose to fight the enemy within the territory.

Anyway, outside the city wall, there has been no construction, just an open space; even if invaded by monsters, there will be no loss!

Also, Qin Luo plans to use the area inside the 1,000-meter radius city wall as the inner city, which will only be allowed for himself and the Undead to enter in the future.

As the territory continues to expand, a new city wall will be built outside to serve as the outer city wall.

And between the inner city wall and the outer city wall is the outer city, where the surrendered aboriginal race creatures can live.

This forms two defensive lines; in the future, if enemies want to capture Qin Luo's territory, they must first break through the outer city, and then break the outer city wall, before they can reach the castle!

"You decide on some details yourself!"

"In terms of building a city, I believe you have more experience than I do; as a layman, I won't participate too much!"

"This lord only wants to see a result!"

Qin Luo said to Tuoboer.

"Okay, Lord!"

Tuoboer replied.

Qin Luo directly became a hands-off manager, which is not a bad thing.

What they fear most is that Qin Luo pretends to understand when he doesn't, and wants to intervene in everything, putting forward some extremely stupid ideas; such a superior is the most annoying!

"Go!"

Qin Luo waved his hand and said.

Tuoboer bowed respectfully to Qin Luo, then led the Goblins away to start working. The first step is to observe the layout of the territory, carry out surveying work, collect some data, and then modify the city blueprints according to the actual situation, etc.

Qin Luo naturally won't participate too much in these professional matters!

Qin Luo himself is too lazy to supervise the work all the time, so he sent Undead to execute it.

Subsequently, Qin Luo opened the Trading Market again, preparing to acquire various resource materials. In addition to metal resources that can be self-sufficient, he also needs a large amount of stone and wood.

In addition to these basic resources, he also purchased some high-level materials that can be used for construction. These things can be bought a little first to let Tuoboer see if they are useful and if the cost-performance ratio is high. If the cost-performance ratio is good, perhaps they can replace stone and metal resources!

Materials like Blue Steel Stone and Iron Fir Wood have roles far superior to stone and wood.

However, because these materials are not essential for upgrading the territory or recruiting troops, their market price is not high.

Because the market demand is there, very few lords buy them.

The Trading Market is a free market, and supply and demand determine the market price!
