On the Snow Wolf Ice Field of the Easy Empire, countless Easy Empire warriors have now gathered, and in front of these warriors is a huge spatial portal. At this time, countless snow wolves began to pour out of the space gate, and the army of the Easy Empire, which had been waiting for a long time, directly fought with these snow wolves.

This spatial gate is the dimensional space connection point opened up by Lao Jiu. And what is consumed to maintain the door of space is the energy of amethyst. In the dimensional space opened up by Lao Jiu, the number of snow wolves is almost endless.

And the only function of the space gate is to limit the level of the snow wolf. However, this leveling method provided by the system for the empire is only effective for NPC troops, and only NPC armies will have experience when they kill the snow wolf pack.

And these snow wolves that are refreshed by the system, in addition to being able to provide experience, everything will disappear into energy after death. In addition, the army trained using this method can only reach a maximum of 80 levels, which can be regarded as a kind of control of the game balance by the system.

What the Empire needs to do now is to buy enough time for itself. Because Lao Jiu knew that compared to other empires, the foundation of the Xiaoyao Empire was too thin, and once several major empires joined forces to deal with the Xiaoyao Empire, then the Xiaoyao Empire would be really dangerous.

Therefore, what the Empire needs most now is time, and only if there is enough time can the Empire cultivate enough masters. However, in addition to training the army, what the Empire needs to do is strengthen the Empire's defenses.

Of course, the so-called imperial defense is mainly aimed at the overall defense of Xiaoyao Island. Now that the Empire has its own heirloom jade seal, and the prestige of the empire has also increased, there are more vacancies for the levy.

And the quota of these displaced people, in addition to the expropriation of the army, is the expropriation of labor. And the Empire will also let these newly recruited soldiers start a family in a short period of time, so that they can integrate into the Empire as much as possible.

For this reason, the Empire has also built four super cities on the Snow Wolf Ice Field, and these four cities are also located in the four directions of dimensional space. With the dimensional space as the center, the Empire of Freedom has divided into four major training battlefields.

And all the warriors, after ten days of fighting on the battlefield, can be reunited with their relatives in the city for five days. This is not only to enhance the relationship between the warrior and his family, but also to give the warrior a sense of belonging to the empire, and also to prevent them from becoming real tools of killing.

The army cultivation method of the Xiaoyao Empire has always been bound to feelings, because Lao Jiu knows that only such an army will be more loyal to the empire and will not be prone to large-scale mutiny, otherwise it will be the same as the army of the Russian Empire, once there is any major change, there will be mutiny.

In order to be able to improve the training speed of the warriors, the Easy Empire has called on a large number of high-level equipment, so that all the armies can achieve cross-level killing, which also greatly shortens the training time.

Especially before level 50, the speed of upgrading of all fighters is infinitely increased after they are equipped with gold equipment. According to Lao Jiu's calculations, it only takes ten days for a level 20 warrior to rise to level 50.

However, after reaching level 50, this advantage will be greatly reduced. According to Lao Jiu's budget, it takes at least a month to move from level 50 to level 60, while it takes nearly a year to upgrade level 60 to level 70. As for the seventy-level promotion to eighty-level, then I don't know how long it will take.

However, according to the situation of the Russian Empire, it may take several years, which makes Lao Jiu very helpless. If Lao Jiu could have discovered the secrets of the major empires a few years earlier, then he would not be so passive now.

But then again, if the Carefree Empire had just been established, if it had received this kind of treatment, not to mention the rest of the empires, it is estimated that HX would have not allowed the existence of the Carefree Empire for a long time, and there would be no current Carefree Empire.

Between pours and drinks, there seems to be a fixed number. Although it is many years later than the rest of the empires, the Carefree Empire also has the power to protect itself, if it can be delayed for a year or two, then as long as the Empire does not have much ambition, then there is no problem in guarding a Xiaoyao Island.

Therefore, what the Empire needs most now is time, as long as it can delay enough time, then the Empire will definitely be able to stand. In addition to training the army and increasing the foundation of the Empire, what the Empire also needs to do is to strengthen its defense.

For Lao Jiu, Xiaoyao Island, as the core of the Xiaoyao Empire, cannot be lost no matter what. A tide of sea monsters and beasts has made Lao Jiu realize the inadequacy of the defenses of the Easy Empire.

And while the Xiaoyao Empire was training its army on a large scale and shrinking its national strength, it also began to build a large-scale coastal defense. The first is the widening and heightening of the outer walls, and the second is the construction of super military defense castles at various landing points. Finally, there is a rest on the entire coast of Xiaoyao Island.

First of all, the construction of the outer city wall is the easiest project for the Easy Empire. Because there is already a foundation, then it is only necessary to increase some thickness and height on top of the original foundation.

However, although there is a foundation, the amount of work is not ordinary. And this project can be regarded as the last coastal rest plan. For the rest of the coastline, a large amount of rock needs to be mined, and these rocks can be used directly to expand the city walls.

As for the construction of the castle at the landing point, it can be regarded as a super project. With the size of the island, there are simply too many landing sites. And after the final screening, the Easy Empire only set one hundred and eight points.

With these points as designated places, the Empire needs to build one hundred and eight war fortresses in one go. Lao Jiu's requirements for the construction of these war fortresses can be said to be very harsh, and the investment in each fortress is almost around 100 million gold coins.

You must know that 100 million gold coins is equivalent to 100 billion RMB in reality. The main material used in the construction of war fortresses is rock, and these rocks are almost always made of local materials. And this money is basically spent on labor.

In the plan of the Empire, every war fortress must be able to garrison half a million troops. And in these cities, the number of ordinary NPCs that need to be accommodated also needs to exceed one million.

In fact, the Xiaoyao Empire built these militarized cities, in addition to defending the coast, it can also accommodate NPCs transferred from the Xiaoyao Basin. Because over time, the number of NPCs in the Runaway Basin has been increasing.

And these coastal cities that the Empire is building now can solve this problem. For the construction of coastal city fortresses, in fact, the greatest contribution was made by the Russian Imperial soldiers captured by the Empire.

These people all have the strength of level eighty, and they are the real best choice of labor in the Easy Empire, and it is precisely because of these people that the speed of city construction in various places has been increased by an unknown number of times, and even the quality has been greatly improved.

For these captives, the Empire distributed them equally among each of the cities under construction. And they have only one identity, and that is slaves! They were not paid, and they were only able to eat two meals in addition to working fifteen hours a day.

In this situation of not having enough to eat and sleep, these people still have spiritual resistance, and they live a chaotic life every day. However, after these people were tortured for a month, their situation also improved with the arrival of a large number of ordinary NPCs in the Easy Empire.

Because the Carefree Empire announced a message, as long as they can win the favor of the female NPCs of the Carefree Empire and start a family with them, they can get rid of the status of slaves, become ordinary citizens of the Carefree Empire, and enjoy the treatment that ordinary citizens should have.

Of course, Lao Jiu's approach is actually to assimilate them, so that they can truly integrate into the Empire, and finally serve the Empire. Under the deliberate arrangement of the Empire, more and more slaves found their own home and began to join the Empire.

And Lao Jiu's next plan is that when these people have offspring and truly integrate into the Easy Empire, they will be recruited into the army, and then used as the city's protectors. You must know that these people are all eighty-level masters, and there are more than 60,000 in each city, which is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

In addition to the heightening and thickening of the city walls and the construction of war castles, it is the rest of the coastline. This is definitely a super project for the Empire. Except for the construction site of the war city, which could not be renovated due to geographical reasons, the rest of the coastline was destroyed and rebuilt.

Most of the coastline of the Empire is actually a natural hazard. In order to prevent the landing of the rest of the empire, the Xiaoyao Empire sent a large amount of manpower and material resources to rest the coastline.

The Empire's plan is to make all the coastlines, except for the one hundred and eight war cities, become non-landable Jedi. To achieve this, it is necessary to mobilize countless manpower and material resources to manually rest the coastline.

The end result is that these coastlines become cliffs, the first line of defense for the Empire. And this hand-to-hand ratio of the Easy Empire almost eliminates the possibility of other empires sneaking up on the Easy Empire.

Because for the rest of the empires, there is no ability to make the Endless Sea rise a few hundred meters. In order for the Empire to survive, this time the entire Empire was turned, and all the funds were spent, just to speed up the defense construction of the Empire.

But all that the Empire has done takes time. Although the defense plan of the Empire is good, it has begun to be in full swing, but it will take time to complete all this, but will the enemy give the Empire time?
