[Armor-piercing crossbow: A crossbow machine made of hardwood, steel, animal tendons and other raw materials, with good range and armor-piercing ability, it needs matching armor-piercing arrows when used, attack speed: slow, weight: heavy, armor-piercing +1, range +1]

Su Lun looked at the heavy crossbow and nodded with satisfaction, although there are still many shortcomings, but this can already be used in actual combat.

"How much does this crossbow cost?" asked Suren as he put down his crossbow machine.

A craftsman with calloused hands next to him hurriedly took the crossbow machine and said, "Your Excellency, plus the cost of labor and materials, the cost of such a crossbow machine is thirty jinnar, and the price will be slightly lower if it is produced in large quantities." ”

The crossbow machine is not simply a single crossbow, and the later maintenance and maintenance also cost a lot of money, and the consumption of a crossbow is much higher than that of a bow and arrow.

"Let's make 3,000 crossbows first. Su Lun thought about it for a while and decided, the cost of 3,000 crossbow machines is 90,000 jinnars, and if you add the later maintenance and supporting arrows, these crossbows will cost at least 100,000 jinnars.

"Obey, I'll let the workers prepare!"

"That's how it works. Su Lun took out a piece of paper and said, what was written on the paper was the assembly line production method, which was not only fast to produce, but also not easy to leak, and the difficulty of production was also reduced.

The training of crossbowmen began long ago, and the crossbowmen in Zhenbei City were equipped with iron armor and a long sword, without shields and other protective gear, and they were not expected to rely on long swords to fight in the training of crossbowmen, and they were equipped with long swords just in case.

The crossbowmen were led by Cecil, a human general who had just been discovered by Suren, and their main training was formation and crossbow machine operation.

Cecil is not a hero, he is an elite leader at best, but he still has the possibility of becoming an advanced hero. The number of troops in Zhenbei City has now exceeded 10,000, and the total population and the number of troops have reached an astonishing ten to one, which is also relatively small on the mainland.

Fortunately, Zhenbei City is still rich and can give support, and having a harvest altar also makes Zhenbei City not lack food.

......

Northern Heath.

The Lotas Mountains are like a creeping dragon across the northern wasteland, it starts from the southwest and extends to the northeast, with a total length of about 800 miles? Is it precisely because of the existence of this mountain range that the cold wind blowing from the large ice field is blocked? The wasteland of Zhenbei City is not too cold in winter.

In the vast area south of the Lotas Mountains, where numerous tribes live? The town north of the town occupies an area southwest of the Lotas Mountains.

In a wasteland far from here? It's already very cold, and the snow is floating in the air? Messy tents are everywhere and cooking smoke rises from around them? Is this an orc tribe? Strangely, though, there are some gnolls and trolls in the tribe in addition to the orcs.

These gnolls and trolls don't exist as slaves, they look more like they work together as equals.

"Bang!"

A loud bang came from the tent, followed by the roar of the orcs.

"That land must belong to the Raging Wind Clan. ”

"The Bloodblade Gnolls will not give up their rightful spoils!

"Come on, huh? The Promised Land of Bullshit? If you want to preemptive, just say it, don't make so many excuses. A tall troll sneered.

"If you dare to blaspheme my lord, I will kill you and sacrifice to my lord!" the gnoll roared.

"Come on, see if I don't blow your dog's head!"

The scene in the tent is hot, and it seems that there will be a fire fight in the next second? The orc, the high-ranking gnoll, and the troll stared at each other fiercely, without the slightest concession? But he tried his best to restrain himself.

"Alright, let's put out the fire!"

"What are we gathered here for? An old orc shaman in the corner spoke.

If Suren would recognize it again? This orc shaman was the great shaman of the orc tribe he defeated. After the defeat of the orcs, Suren killed the orc chieftain? But the orc shaman has disappeared? Do you know that there were still centaurs chasing and killing orcs at the beginning? As a result, he still got out of the way.

The old orc's skin is shriveled, like tree bark, "If humans gain a firm foothold in the wasteland, they will slowly expand around according to their inertia, if we can't pull out that nail as soon as possible, it won't be long before there will be no more room for us to live in the northern wasteland, I'm not alarmist!" the old orc coughed violently, and his thin and dry body gave people a feeling that it would break at any time.

Hearing the old shaman's words, the orcs, gnolls, and trolls did not refute it, and the strength of the Fireblade tribe was not weaker than them at all, but after a decisive battle, the fireblade tribe disappeared, leaving only this old shaman with the remnants of the orcs to join the Angry Wind Clan.

"And that troll tribe, along with the ancestral spirit, was killed by him, and now that we haven't even defeated those humans, you want to divide the war power, don't you think it's too early?"

"The first thing we need to deal with now is the defeat of humanity, and as for the loot, ahem... The spoils are distributed according to the amount of contribution in this battle. The old shaman finished his words in one breath, as if he had exhausted his energy, and sat aside and stopped talking.

"Well, distribute it according to what the old shaman said. The orc, troll, and the gnoll looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

......

Suren didn't know that the fish that had slipped through the net was now entangled with the three tribes of orcs, gnolls, and trolls preparing to start a war, and he was now listening to the little succubus's report.

The little succubus's body was bumpy and petite, and after coming in, he sat directly on Suren's lap, and then began to report on the output of the underground world during this time.

"One hundred and three pounds of gold this month, one thousand five hundred and twenty-six pounds of silver, eleven tons of iron ore, twenty-three precious stones, and thirty-seven grams of mythril..."

"How much spider silk is produced?" The little succubus's hips were very elastic, which made Su Lun a little weak, and he reached out to hold the little succubus in the right position.

"There are fifty-six bundles of spider silk this month, and they have been handed over to Hathaway to deal with, hey, you light, don't tear my stockings, I'm the last one this month. ”

"I'm watching. "Su Lun's hand movements are very skillful, and the little succubus is wearing a dress similar to a slim skirt today, outlining the curves of the body to the fullest.

Su Lun, who had already practiced his spearmanship to the grandmaster level, had already been able to move his heart at will, and the two of them cooperated like a concave and convex inlay, tightly fitting.

......

"Move, move!"

"No, I'm numb!"

Half an hour later, when the battle was over, and Chrissy was limp like a beautiful snake, Suren told her to rest here, got up and repacked the scattered papers.

"It's all said lightly, this stocking is scrapped again!" said the relieved little succubus looking at the stockings that had been removed.

"Next month, the production of spider silk will increase a little more. Su Lun said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. The little succubus snorted and said.

Su Lun secretly laughed, I haven't been torn apart by me if I have more of you.

After the main body of the Wizard Tower was completed, Hathaway, Karina, Alex, and Grace began to build the inside of the Wizard Tower, and the Wizard Tower needed to lay a large number of energy channels to transfer the energy in the elemental pool to various locations in the Wizard Tower, which required a large number of Magic Energy Crystals.

The magic energy crystals produced by the crystal beasts in the secret realm need to be supplied to the wizard tower first for a long time, and the wizard tower also needs to build an elemental pool. This is the source of energy for the wizard tower, like the large wizard tower built in Zhenbei City, which cannot be supplied by ordinary elemental pools.

The size of the elemental pool is divided by the amount of energy stored in it, and the lowest level of a standard elemental pool, when filled with elemental water, contains 100,000 degrees of energy. The wizards set the amount of energy consumed to cast a one-ring spell, the Arcane Missile, at one degree.

The 100,000-degree elemental pool is the energy that can cast 100,000 arcane missiles, this elemental pool is generally equipped with small wizard towers, and the 100,000-degree elemental pool cannot drive the wizard tower to fly, even if it is the ultimate weapon of the wizard tower, the magic energy pulse railgun can only be fired once, and it also needs to be charged.

This kind of 100,000-degree elemental pool is not to mention that Suren can't look at it, and even Hathaway is unwilling to install it on this wizard tower, this wizard tower is completely designed and built according to the standards of legendary wizards, and even the space reserved for upgrading into a floating tower is ready, so the elemental pool that Hathaway is going to build is a large elemental pool.

The energy standard is more than one million, and at present, the upper limit of this large elemental pool is five million degrees, and it is not cost-effective to build even a large elemental pool. The construction of the Elemental Pool requires the use of magic gems, mythril, magic steel, arcane dust, astral dust, and many other magic materials.

The larger the elemental pool is built, the more materials are needed, and when it exceeds one million, it will increase geometrically, in fact, the materials needed to build an elemental pool that can hold five million degrees can easily build five elemental pools of one million degrees, and there are still leftovers.

So basically no one will spend a lot of materials and energy to build a 5 million degree elemental pool, generally speaking, 2 million degree elemental pool is enough, unless you want to build a floating city, but even a super large elemental pool of 5 million degrees of energy still can't make a medium-sized city fly.

The most cost-effective is the two million degree elemental pool, which Hathaway is going to build. The location of the elemental pool is on the ground floor of the Wizard's Tower, which has three underground floors and an area of 3,000 square meters, all of which are built of obsidian and are also hardened, which is strong enough.
