487 Obsidian Collar
"Master, to build a territory, you must first plan the Lord's Mansion, what style of buildings do you plan to build the Lord's Mansion into? Fortress type? Fortress type? Or is it a garden type? β
As a competent light spirit housekeeper, Zhuoya is pure and seductive to guide Wutong to take the first step in the construction of the territory.
Looking at the skeletons who were busy on the work, pushing the huge obsidian crystal balls into the huge obsidian caves and storing them, and the fire crows and wind bats were also busy flying around, sorting out the small obsidian crystal beads that they were moving and grabbing according to their size, Wutong scratched his chin and hesitated.
He also dabbled in [architecture] and [engineering], but the level was far from being able to plan and build a huge city, and if you want to design a perfect city, you must at least reach the level of [great architect] and [great engineer].
Wutong thought that the purple gold force field cover was enough to envelop the entire obsidian field, and felt that theoretically speaking, planning the entire obsidian field as a whole was the most in line with the future development route of the territory, but the problem was that his current ability was simply not enough to carry out the comprehensive construction of the territory.
Although Ah Gu can control hundreds of thousands of skeletons as labor, it is not enough to build a city, otherwise, those large guilds that can gather hundreds of thousands of people at any time have long been ambitious to build cities as their own territory.
After pondering the resources and existing conditions that he could mobilize, Wutong gritted his teeth and decided to use the obsidian pillar group as the core of the Lord's Mansion first, and roughly build out the protective measures used to protect the territory seal, and then talk about the details, and then consider it when he has the strength in the future, otherwise, according to the rules of the area covered by the force field, all of which are the area of the Lord's Mansion, how can he build the entire Obsidian Plain?
But seeing the obsidian pillar group on the light curtain, the sycamore is also a big head, don't look at the obsidian pillar group only occupies less than one-tenth of the original area of the obsidian, on the map, it is just a small piece, but in fact it is composed of hundreds of obsidian pillars.
The largest of them, the one where they are now, is about 780 meters high, and the ground part is a slender bamboo shoot-like peak, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, surrounded by more than a dozen obsidian pillars with a height of six or seven hundred meters.
Further out, twenty or thirty obsidian pillars of five or six hundred meters, fifty or sixty obsidian pillars of four or five hundred meters, ten obsidian pillars of two or three hundred meters, and hundreds of obsidian pillars with a height ranging from tens of meters to more than 100 meters, are scattered around in a doji shape as a whole, forming a huge group of spectacular obsidian columns.
The height of these obsidian pillars is determined by the size of the falling meteorite, as well as the strength of the impact when the meteorite falls, in the gap between the obsidian pillars, there are some relatively small meteorites, because the size is small, the impact force formed is not strong enough, so it does not form a smoke column, but forms a solidified bright "water splash", some of which are like lotus leaves, some are like trumpet flowers, some are like bird's nests, and more, but they are caves one by one.
Imagine how big such a huge group of obsidian pillars would be?
The construction part alone, with the current capacity of the sycamore, is estimated to be enough, let alone include the entire obsidian plain into the scope of construction.
Therefore, Sycamore decided to take the simplest method, using the four obsidian pillars that are higher at the four vertices of the obsidian column group in the form of a doji as the base point, and build four walls between them, first fence them off, and then talk about other internal buildings, so we can only ignore them for the time being.
"Is it just a matter of building walls? Well, it's over to Zoya! β
Zhuoya didn't seem to be very satisfied, but considering that His Excellency the lord currently has limited resources in his hands, he can only do so, after all, the ** Master Tower can't be built in a day.
Otherwise, Zhuoya is a competent housekeeper with 4,500 years of work experience, in Wutong's opinion, helpless, clueless work, to Zhuoya's hands, but it has become simpler, under her suggestion, the obsidian pillar group will build a total of five city walls, 20 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, 150 meters, 200 meters, the obsidian column group is divided into five layers of inner and outer areas, and eventually will form a pyramid-shaped huge building.
Of course, this is only a preliminary plan, the first step is to build that twenty-meter-high city wall, Zhuoya did not even ask Wutong for more resources, but only rely on the materials that Wutong currently has in his hands, and can start construction.
After all, to build a city wall with a height of only 20 meters, in the world of "Endless", the arcane civilization, there is no technical content at all, and there is not even a need for reinforced concrete or other materials, otherwise, how do you think that a rock building like Fairhaven City, which is casually dozens or hundreds of floors high, is built?
Labor is ready-made, hundreds of thousands of skeletons have become hard-working coolies, all of them are turned around by Zhuo Ya's training group, and even Wutong himself was gray and gray by Zhuo Ya to go to the obsidian pillar group, responsible for digging the moat, and collecting the obsidian bricks used in the construction of the city wall.
The [strange thing] of the gold shaft and silver thread of the sycamore became an important tool for mining obsidian bricks, and all the silver silk threads on the golden scroll were pulled out, straightened and tightened, and then the poor elemental wind man Sarasi, with the golden three-finger gloves, pulled up the silver silk thread and flew desperately into the sky, frantically injecting wind element energy into the silk thread, and then as soon as he let go, with a loud roar of "woo~", a bottomless gap would appear on the obsidian plain.
In this way, a piece of 4 metersΓ 2 meters Γ 1 meter of city wall bricks were processed in batches, and then the hard-working skeletons swarmed up, completely shoulder-to-shoulder, transported these heavy obsidian bricks to the designated place, and piled them up according to Zhuoya's requirements.
To Wutong's surprise, Zhuoya actually had extremely exquisite knowledge of [architecture] and [engineering], and under her command, the skeletons without intelligence actually built a wide and thick city wall with a large number of arrow towers, watchtowers, arsenals, tunnels, and secret rooms at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because it is the outermost city wall, although the height is not high, only twenty meters, but the thickness is quite amazing, reaching thirty-five meters, the city wall is wide enough for racing, enough to place large city defense equipment, although many details of things, need follow-up processing, but it is obvious that Zhuoya has left a variety of pre-design for later expansion.
Surprised, Wutong inquired about Zhuoya, but was told that the technique she used was completely based on a "Guide to the Construction of the Mage Tower" written by the lazy ** master back then, and that she needed to master a specialty called "Arcane Geometry" to use it.
Wutong couldn't help but sweat profusely, and Zhuoya was not building the lord's mansion at all, but according to the highest standards, the entire building was planned into a huge mage tower complex!
But fortunately, Zhuoya is only building the lord's mansion of Wutong according to the specifications of the mage tower, and not really building it according to the needs of the mage tower, otherwise, with Wutong's current belongings, let alone building the entire mage tower, even if the entire "Secret Shadow" is sold, it is not enough to build an arcane arrow tower.
Why is the Mage Tower separated from a normal tower?
It is because of the mysterious [***] ability of the mage tower that ordinary towers, no matter how majestic they are, they cannot be called mage towers.
Although the Mage Tower-type Lord's Mansion designed by Zhuoya is only an ordinary building at present, as long as it is needed, and Wutong has the capital ability, it can be upgraded to a Mage Tower at any time, because in the entire construction process of the Mage Tower, the consumption of the physical hardware of the Mage Tower itself is the most insignificant part.
Watching the majestic city walls rise from the ground and gradually take shape, Wutong was assigned a new job by Zhuoya: recruitment!
The speed of construction is directly proportional to the construction manpower invested, hundreds of thousands of skeletons have been put into use, but even Zhuoya's minimum manpower requirements have not been met, under the requirements of this terrible light spirit butler, Wutong has to find a way to get more labor to meet the next larger-scale construction.
All the manpower under Sycamore was recruited, and the two demon pets were recruited to be responsible for some key parts that needed to release spells because they could release the spells in the Sycamore spell list, while Saras, Aglaia, and Busomith were recruited to be responsible for mining obsidian bricks because they could use the gold and silver threads of Sycamore, leaving only the useless Sycamore, the giant boar Agua and the lord of bones, Agua, who were driven out of the territory by Zoya, and let them go to the Gray Bone Plains to recruit workers.
As for the work of directing the skeletons to work, Zoya asked Sycamore to bring the [Baron] Seal that symbolizes his identity, as long as he carries this with him, as a lord, he can control the development of the territory at any time, and Zoya can also make long-distance contact with Sycamore through the territory seal, and use the [Baron] Seal as a "transit station", remote command, and transmit the orders issued by Zoya to Ah Gu back to the skeletons working in the territory, so as to achieve Zoya's indirect command.
Riding alone with Ah Gua, Wutong appeared on the edge of the obsidian plain and entered the adjacent gray bone plain, so that every time Ah Gu walked, he released a "roar of the undead", summoning those low-level skeletons to rush to the obsidian realm to participate in the construction of the obsidian realm.
The most interesting thing is that Ah Gu can summon at present, basically only the lowest-level gray bone skeletons and white bone skeletons, and the more advanced skeletons, as long as they are far apart, will resist Ah Gu's summoning order, and occasionally encounter those high-level skeletons who do not obey the order.
When encountering such a skeleton, you have to rely on the Sycamore to get out of the horse, and after killing it with a wild bombardment, the Sycamore absorbs the soul energy points, and Ah Gu absorbs the negative energy, and uses the remains of the high-level skeleton to summon a large number of white bone skeletons.
In the past few weeks, the sycamore and Ah Bone who rode Ah Gua to turn the Gray Bone Plain all over the place, almost caught the low-level skeletons wandering in the Gray Bone Plains and caught the strong men extinct, and if you go deeper, I am afraid that you will encounter the skeleton legion of the [Oserrent] Undead Fortress, judging from the performance of Ah Gua, it is obviously a little unable to hold these formed skeleton legions, it seems that because the other party has another "master", loyalty is far from what Ah Gu, an outsider, can rebel against.
Wutong, who didn't want to cause more trouble, obviously couldn't provoke trouble with the [Oselent] Immortal Fortress at this critical moment in the construction of the Obsidian Territory, and after killing all the low-level skeletons on the Gray Bone Plains, he retreated with Ah Gu and Ah Gua when he saw it.
In any case, Ah Bone's "hometown" is from [Wailing Wilderness] and not [Gray Bone Plains], and it doesn't matter if you dig the foot of the wall and summon some cannon fodder skeletons that can be born from the gray fog at any time to go back as coolies, if you really dig up the "elite general" of the "big guy" in the [Oserrent] Undead Fortress, it is to find death.
During the time when he was wandering on the Gray Bone Plains, Sycamore could even feel the pressure from the warning surnames in [Oserlent], perhaps because the movement between Indus and Agu was too great before, so that the big guy in the [Oserlent] Undead Fortress also felt threatened, and he didn't even send an undead legion to encircle and suppress them.
The "recruitment effect" is very significant, Wutong They have attracted nearly 10 million gray bone skeletons and white bone skeletons from the gray bone plain, thinking that such a huge number of labor force is enough for Zhuoya to cause disaster, right?
As a result, when I returned to the obsidian collar, Wutong almost didn't faint, the entire obsidian collar has simply become a big construction site, the four walls around the obsidian pillars have been roughly built, and a buffer zone of fifty meters has been reserved outside the city wall, and outside the buffer zone, there is a moat canal that is 100 meters wide and 20 meters deep!
This is almost the obsidian in the moat, directly taken out and erected outside the obsidian pillars as a city wall, although there is no water in the moat for the time being, but if you want to fill it with water, it is not too difficult in this world, and the sycamore has no heart.
But the problem is that Zhuoya, who has completed the first city wall, directly began to carry out a larger project, and she began to repair a taller and majestic city wall on the outermost periphery of the entire obsidian field, as if she intended to surround the entire obsidian field with a city wall!
What is the concept of enclosing the entire obsidian plain with a wall? Moreover, Zhuoya designed a super city wall that is 100 meters high and 150 meters thick, if this is completed, it is estimated that the cloud giants will not be able to attack it, right?
Well, anyway, it's all skeleton coolies, idle and idle, no need to use in vain, it's just that, so far, all the obsidian bricks have been piled up like stacked blocks, without using any adhesive, and stacked so high, Sycamore is very worried that it will accidentally collapse there, so the fun will be great.
"Don't worry! Master! Zoya has a way! β
Zhuoya, who incarnated as a construction maniac, said fanatically: "We don't need any adhesive, as long as the entire building is completed, Zhuoya naturally has a way to make them firm, but this progress is too slow!" Zoya needs more labor! More! β
Sycamore, that's called a sweat! Nearly 10 million skeletons!? Fortunately, the skeleton doesn't have to eat, sleep, or be paid, otherwise just to feed so many laborers, it would be enough for "Secret Shadow" to go bankrupt.
Driven by Zhuoya's overload, the poor skeletons have almost turned nearly a third into bone residue when Wutong rushed back to the obsidian collar, although the skeletons do not need to eat and sleep, nor are they tired, and the strength is infinite, but the problem is that they are made of bones after all, and the obsidian bricks weighing dozens or hundreds of tons are completely piled up by their shoulders and hands, and the wear and tear of their bones is very serious, and almost every obsidian brick is lying under the remains of several skeletons!
In such a short period of time, the city wall with such a large amount of work was completed, and the price was that two or three million skeletons were abolished by Zhuoya, you can imagine how strong the labor force of building the city was, this is fortunate to be a skeleton, to replace it with a living person, then the sycamore can be regarded as more cruel than the most brutal king in ancient history.
Although the construction of the city wall of the obsidian pillar group has been roughly completed, the super city wall surrounding the entire obsidian field has just begun, and if it is to be completed, I am afraid that tens of millions of skeletons will not be enough for Zhuoya, otherwise how could she keep urging Wutong to increase the "recruitment" efforts.
Wutong grinded his teeth, and it seemed that he could only go to [Wailing Wilderness] for another trip, just because of his action of building the obsidian collar, which directly caused the northern defense line to be useless, what else to guard? The skeletons were all "recruited", and even the [Gray Plains] side had stopped, and there was no undead infestation for weeks.
This can be regarded as relieving the defensive pressure on the Wilshire side in disguise, right? The only thing that is unhappy may be the players on the northern defense line, the "big project" of Wutong, they have no experience to earn.
There is a reason why Zhuoya will be in a hurry to build a super city wall, because the pressure of the northern defense line has disappeared, and many players have explored the north because of curiosity, and naturally discovered the magical plain that suddenly appeared in the obsidian territory, and the "celestial wonders" of the previous "heavenly fire" and "meteorite fall", the people who saw it were not one or two, not only the players found it, but the major aboriginal forces naturally noticed it, if it weren't for each other's constraints and didn't dare to act easily, I'm afraid that Wutong would not have such a chance to develop the construction flow so steadily now.
Just because a large number of players are approaching, Zhuoya will choose to build a "southern wall" in the direction of the obsidian collar near the northern defense line, and the gathering of nearly 10 million skeletons has stopped the curiosity of the players, but if they know what the black rocks look like from a distance, let alone nearly 10 million skeletons, even if nearly 10 million dragons are guarded there, they will have to be leveled by greedy players.
was analyzed by Zhuo Ya, Wutong was also taken aback, it seems that he really has to hurry up, the player is not too worried, what he is worried about is the threat from the Silver Flame Church, such a big movement, the Silver Flame priest who chased him can't not know, if he finds out that it is actually his own "heretic" who is building the city, I'm afraid that the next time he comes, it will not be so many people last time!
