Chapter 86: Intermission
"Done?"
Locke whispered excitedly, went over to put away all the orc corpses and catapults on the ground, sent a few gargoyles to check within a kilometer radius around, and after making sure that there were no enemies, he put down the castle, let the cavalry and ghouls stay outside to be on guard, and he himself took Anne into the castle quickly, came to the laboratory, and entered the teleportation array.
"Welcome to the Department of Bone Research." After Anne entered, the facility crystal that appeared next to her beckoned to Locke, "We ...... from the bottom of our hearts."
"Just be polite, tell me how it's going?" Locke looked out the window, crossed his arms and asked.
Outside the glass window, a skeleton with obvious orc characteristics and an ordinary skeleton stood facing Locke's direction.
Orcs are a head taller than normal humans, and their bones appear to be quite large.
However, when they were demonstrated, Locke discovered that the function of orc skeletons was no different from that of normal skeletons, but their movements were slower than those of humans, and most importantly, they could only be armed with heavy equipment such as two-handed axes or heavy hammers.
"Your suggestion?" Locke asked, looking at the crystal.
"It is recommended not to convert them for now, and after the castle enters the fourth order to produce death knights, it is better to classify their profession as death berserkers."
"Oh, that's good." Locke nodded thoughtfully.
But then a question came to mind: how many human bones there are, but the orcs are different, and it is very troublesome to find one or two orc tribes in the vast savannah, and they will only be gathered in times of war.
In other words, the source of the death berserk soldiers in Locke's hands is the one he has encountered in the invading orc tribes so far.
"Forget it, take it one step at a time, maybe you can meet better materials than orcs in the future."
"In addition, the Warcraft core you gave us earlier, we studied it and discussed it with the forge to make this for you."
After the Will Crystal finished speaking, a pair of huge fist gloves surrounded by spikes were carried by the goblin puppet.
"Shock gauntlet, the runes burned on it are already the highest level, when they hit the ground, they will shock all the targets within 5 meters around, and they can't be blocked, we have experimented, the effect is quite good, I hope you can like it." Crystal introduced.
Locke was a little stunned for a moment, he almost forgot about the giant monster that he had let the Skeleton Knight and the bipedal dragon kill together.
"Need to try?" The tone of the Will Crystal sounded quite excited, and it felt even more excited than Locke himself.
"Uh...... Give it a try. As Locke's voice fell, the space around them shifted, and at this point, they were in a white space with nothing, just like the vampire testing ground—there were three targets approaching with swords in front of them.
"Just bombard the ground within range."
When Locke heard this, he nodded, put on his gloves, glanced forward, and quickly rushed towards the target, and after approaching a certain distance, he jumped quickly and slammed it.
Boom ——!!
Within five meters of the two fists smashing into the target, two deep holes full of cracks suddenly appeared on the entire ground, and the center point was Locke's hands wearing fists.
"This ......" Locke stood up, looking up at the targets, all torn to pieces by the shockwave......
This power is comparable to the strength of the late golden period!
"How? My noble king? Are you satisfied? Oh yes, at this time, the forge and the laboratory weapons research and development department jointly made a special product. "After the crystal ends, don't forget to advertise yourself and your peers.
Locke naturally understood what it meant, turned around and said with a smile: "In the future, the R&D funds will be doubled, and it will not be enough to ask me again." ”
"It is the honor of my life to serve such a wise king!" If the crystal had a physical body, it is estimated that it would have bent a 90° waist by now.
Locke then asked for a three-pronged lance that could guide the coordinates of the catapult and fit the gargoyle, and went out when he was done.
After a long day's struggle, Locke found that the energy reserves at home were almost at the bottom.
And the new 1 million square meters does not mean that it will be made up, it will take time for the core to slowly absorb it.
In fact, the current cost of those additional expenses can be slowly made up for by time, but those maintenance costs are really fixed daily expenses, which is a problem that Locke is troubled by.
Two vampires per day produce a fixed amount of 1000 per vampire, and ghouls produce 4 per day at a maintenance cost of 200 each.
At present, there are 6 vampires and 301 ghouls, with a total cost of 66,200 square meters, which is comparable to the prairie, but Locke does not plan to stop producing, the two monster facilities continue to operate every day, and as the number of soldiers increases, the cost will increase more and more.
Not only these troops, but also all facilities need energy, 60,000 square meters of the prairie, 20,000 square meters of vampire temples, 3,000 square meters of horror graveyards, 2,000 square meters of Pandora Temple, 2,000 square meters of stone statue caves, 3,000 square meters of forges, and the remaining ones also need 1, 2,000 square meters, plus the internal expenses of the entire palace, a total of more than 200,000 square meters are consumed every day, and this number will gradually expand with the generation of troops.
In terms of income, the magic guide stone + crocodile is 1.06 million square meters per day, and after deduction, there will be about 7 or 800,000 yuan per day...... 18 million square meters away from the next upgrade, such a large amount is an absolute nightmare for the various lords in hell, and if Locke can save some points, it is estimated that he will be able to reach it within a month, so that the death knight can come out.
However, judging from the current situation, the deadline for escalation will have to be extended again.
If you can get a little more energy, if you can get more......
"Magic Stone......" Locke muttered thoughtfully.
In Wrath of the Gods, he was tasked with clearing the ruins of an ancient battlefield of the undead, and he stumbled upon the relevant information about it.
It is said that it was because of the birth of a box of precious magic stones, which then caused three principalities to compete for each other, and finally caused a world war, and quite a few countries were involved, and that box of magic stones ......
"I got it," Locke said with a sigh .......
His tone was a little frustrated, because from another point of view, these magic stones were quite precious, so precious that they might never be able to find a second batch......
"It's time to be busy for energy and life again." Locke shook his head helplessly, and finally stretched, "Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Anne, who was lying on her shoulder, immediately said, "The laboratory said that the javelin you asked for has been prepared." ”
When Locke heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "That thing is called the three-pronged beacon halberd, and it is called the shelling guide by another term!" (To be continued)
