Chapter 148: The Land of Gargoyles
Cheng Shen glanced at Arjieka's talent bonus: 3%.
Not too much.
But that's just the stat buff that a well-tier tower brings to her.
If you can collect and build more star-type towers, not to mention how much the defense power of the territory can be improved.
The increase in Arjeka alone would be an exaggeration!
What's more, the practical attributes of this kind of star defense tower are not weak at all.
His thoughts were instantly clear.
Immediately, Cheng Shen searched in the trading market, and at the same time, he also acquired similar Star Defense Towers by releasing news within the community.
Soon.
He received no less than dozens of private messages from survivors.
There are unexpectedly many star-like defense towers, not as rare as Cheng Shen imagined.
And then he thought about it and understood.
Whether in the East or in the West, there are many myths and legends symbolized by the stars.
Especially the sun and moon.
As the two stars that can be most intuitively observed by humans, they have been crowned with countless legendary backgrounds.
Gods associated with it can be found in almost every mythological system.
However, Cheng Shen still found a difference after carefully screening the information.
Basically, these mythical characters with the stars as the background are all humanoid transformation towers.
It's not a directly named star like the Celestial Sheep Star.
After he added this filter, all that was left was two defense tower blueprints, one white and one green, that met the requirements.
【Sky Star】
【Mythology】
[Grade: Excellent]
[Level: 1]
[Attack: 0]
[Attack Speed: 0]
[Range: 0]
[Feature: Increases the range of all towers by 5]
……
【Immortal Star】
【Mythology】
[Level: Normal]
[Level: 1]
[Attack: 0]
[Attack Speed: 0]
[Range: 0]
[Trait 1: Reduces the cost of building all towers by 1%]
[Trait 2: For each Immortal Twelve Galaxy Towers on the field, the effect of Effect 1 will be increased by an additional 1%]
……
Both towers are pure auxiliary towers.
However, while their increase in combat power is basically zero, they do increase the stats of great utility.
Even if it was the white immortal star, Cheng Shen took out five energy crystals to get it.
The market price of five energy crystals is around 50 gold.
Normally.
You can now swap out a rare tower that isn't so good.
Of course, this is just a drop in the bucket for him.
Buy it back and build it directly.
These two towers don't need distance to take effect, and Cheng Shen just built them in an unobstructed corner on the side of the territory.
With a trembling moment.
Two round stars that emitted a thick aura rose from the ground.
Immediately.
There seems to be a sense between the two that Optimus has just built.
One gray, one green, one white, the three stars were originally just silently suspended on the base of the tower, slowly turning.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly shot out from each of them, weaving in mid-air.
And then disappear.
Cheng Shen looked at their attributes again, and saw that there was an additional feature in the panel of each tower.
[Ziwei Sensor: Passive, the system bond of this defense tower has not been activated, after obtaining any of the main star defense towers, you will be able to get additional bond bonuses. Note! The main star towers are all unique main towers! 】
……
These three Star Towers belong to the same system?
Cheng Shen was a little surprised.
However, he did not think that this was a coincidence, and quickly thought of a more reasonable explanation.
This type of star-shaped tower may fall into the same category.
I just don't know how many there are.
Cheng Shen then noticed the last note of this feature: the main star defense towers are all unique main towers.
Combined with the sentence in the middle of it, it is unlocked after obtaining any of the main star towers.
It is not difficult for him to come up with a corollary.
There is more than one main star!
That's a little weird.
The only main towers that Cheng Shen currently knows about the survivors have obtained basically represent an independent main god in the mythological system, and they have not yet appeared, and there are more than two main towers in one system.
Also, a province can only build a maximum of one main tower.
What's the use of having more? ……
Wait a minute.
Cheng Shen suddenly thought,
And the subordinate territories!
Although the subordinate territory will not have monsters attacking the city, it can still build defense towers to defend against foreign enemy attacks.
If the system takes this layer of factors into account......
Then, it undoubtedly shows that the set of star defense towers he has cultivated now will be a strengthened version of the defense tower system that surpasses all the existing main tower systems! A super defensive lineup with multiple main towers at the same time!
Cheng Shen thought of this, and his heart was suddenly surging.
Right now, he just got two green and one white defense towers, and he could already get a glimpse of the powerful corner of this system.
If you can really collect it......
But then again.
It's obviously not that easy to put together all of this star system.
That last note also reminded him that if someone had already obtained a Main Star Tower, and it had already been built.
He would never be able to put it all together.
Unless.
Kill the other party.
But even if he destroys the opponent's main tower, he will not be able to get the corresponding main tower blueprint.
At best, it's the equivalent of sending the tower blueprint back into the system's library.
As for who will be given the reward again, it is completely random.
Therefore, one can imagine how difficult it would be for him to put together this system.
It's lucky to be able to put together the same main star system.
Cheng Shen shook his head and quickly dispelled his unrealistic illusions.
Immediately.
He first purchased upgrade materials to raise the immortal star to level ten.
The level 10 Immortal Star can reduce the construction and upgrade cost of all defense towers by 10%, and the money-saving effect is considerable.
Definitely worth the price.
The seller would not have chosen to sell it if he was not in a hurry to make money.
However, for ordinary survivors, they don't have enough funds to upgrade towers in large quantities for the time being.
Most people's money is not enough to upgrade the main output tower.
To maintain an auxiliary tower, it is necessary to invest a lot of money.
Although you know that its prospects are considerable, you have to ensure that you can survive before you can talk about the subsequent benefits.
It was a smart choice for the seller to exchange for scarce supplies such as energy crystals.
And Cheng Shen's exchange of five energy crystals can be regarded as a big bargain.
Pity.
The upper limit of the White Tower's upgrade is level 10.
Cheng Shen turned his head and used the remaining gold coins in his hand to slam Qingyang Star to the sixteenth level in one go.
The level 16 Optimum Star bonus effect is achieved:
Attack bonus 20.
Attack speed bonus 1%.
After stacking 20 passives, you get a full 400 base attack points and a 20% attack speed bonus.
A well-built tower can achieve this kind of increase.
It's kind of amazing.
As for the Sky Star that increases its range, Cheng Shen has no money to upgrade it for the time being.
Most of his money was used to pay the workers.
It's not easy to have the money to upgrade two towers.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been receiving a steady stream of income from materials, crystallization, and equipment, his territory's economy would have been in deficit.
This is also the main reason why Cheng Shen can't wait to open the trade market, and it is difficult for him to afford more and more residents by making money on his own.
……
Watch as Arjeka forms a bond with the two newborn stars.
Her talent bonus has also increased to: 7%.
Subsequently.
All the combat units in General Cheng Shen's territory that had reached level 10 or above were summoned, with a total of 34 people.
Including Da Meng, the number of units that have broken through the fifteenth level has reached 21 people, and the worst is the elite level!
This is already quite a powerful force!
"My lord, we are all ready, just waiting for your order!"
Da Meng, who was draped in heavy armor, said in a deep voice.
Behind him was a neat group of well-trained and well-equipped iron-blooded soldiers, all of whom had been trained through the iron-blooded school, all of them were broad-shouldered and strong, with huge waists and round waists, and were burly like Mr. Bodybuilder.
Especially their weapons.
Whether it's a longbow or a shield sword, they all shimmer with a magical luster.
They were all the finest weapons that even ordinary survivors were not qualified to equip.
Cheng Shen glanced at the soldiers who were full of murderous intent and nodded secretly.
Under the influence of the fierce commander-in-chief, these soldiers maintained a high morale even if they did not have to do pre-war mobilization.
He didn't say anything more and waved his hand forward.
"Let's go!"
Airplanes!
The intricately constructed scout guards burst into the sky.
Cheng Shen shared its authority with Da Meng, and at this time, both of them could see another picture through its field of vision.
In the quiet and gray sea of trees, a pale white circle of light enveloped a kilometer, symbolizing the scope of his territory.
And it's outside of that.
The buildings were already less than a few hundred meters apart in darkness.
It was the closest hostile faction to his territory, and the map was labeled as the Gargoyle Land.
Doesn't sound like an Aboriginal.
It's like some kind of monster lair.
But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that Cheng Shen's territory is about to border with it.
If you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid it won't be long before the other side will do it.
Cheng Shen has never liked to be passive.
Therefore, after the expansion of the territory, he had already added this campaign to one of the urgent matters.
Whoa......
More than thirty iron-blooded soldiers immediately dispersed into the forest.
The dense sound of armor clashing, accompanied by footsteps, was soon drowned out by the sound of the rubbing of leaves that were constantly churning like a tidal wave.
Cheng Shen and Al Jieka followed at the back of the team.
As the Scout guard advanced, he quickly got a good view of the building.
It was a ruined ruin, and the structure of the ruins resembled some kind of ancient temple.
The perimeter of the temple had collapsed, and there were square stone bricks with strange patterns scattered among them.
The broken pillars of stout rock were covered with red moss.
Inside the wall, the ruins are fully revealed, the houses are damaged, and the withered courtyard is full of traces of time, as if it is telling the vicissitudes of life without words.
In the deepest part of the complex, you can see messy ruins, arched by a towering temple made of huge stone bricks like a pyramid.
But the top of the temple was missing.
It was like being directly shattered by a terrible thunderbolt, and the broken place was scorched black.
There seems to be some unknown force remaining on it, preventing the moss from growing upwards.
Cheng Shen's gaze stayed at the back of this temple.
There, there seems to be a cemetery. But the sky above the cemetery was shrouded in thick darkness, making it impossible for the scout guards to see what was inside.
And just as the scout guard approached the ruins.
Its passive triggers instantly.
An alarm glows red on the precision ball.
Scout guards can detect all hostile creatures within two hundred meters.
That is, the danger here does not only exist in the dark.
"Watch out!"
Da Meng immediately sent a reminder to other units.
Thirty-three Predators were immediately assembled into three squads, each with an average of nine Predators and two Predators.
At the same time, each soldier is equipped with a piece of Elite equipment with healing properties.
And it's also the most effective two-ring magic.
Treat light waves.
After Cheng Shen dismantled the Book of Strong Healing, he mastered the three magic it possessed, and naturally he would not be stingy in the configuration of his troops.
With the spiritual strength of an ordinary iron-blooded soldier, the healing light wave that can activate the second ring once is the limit.
But a single healing wave of light can save five people's blood lines from dangerous values.
These thirty or so pieces of healing equipment,
Not to mention it can also give the iron-blooded soldiers present three or four more lives!
Three armed teams, led by Da Meng, slowly advanced towards the ruins of the temple.
Soon.
I passed through the tall stone gate, which was half collapsed.
Smack......
Suddenly, there was a soft sound.
Cheng Shen immediately turned his perspective, and under the normal field of vision, he could only see that a piece of rubble had fallen from the ruins.
It seems like it was just an accident.
But he could see through the air superiority provided by the scout guards that just now, under the messy ruins, a monster with blue-gray skin gently struggled to move its body.
He can see it, and Da Meng can naturally see it.
"Ready, shoot!"
He waved his hand suddenly.
Whoosh!
The six iron-blooded archers in the team immediately attacked the position, even if they couldn't see anything.
Cheng Shen didn't share the Scout Guard with everyone, mainly because of the number limit.
Again.
Allowing permission means that the opponent can also control the Scout Guard.
Although, almost no one would dare to take the risk of offending him and call in scout guards without permission.
But even if there was even a slight accident, Cheng Shen didn't want to try.
The Scout Guard is a very practical tool for him, and the ordinary iron-blooded soldier is at best mass-produced cannon fodder.
Arrows wrapped in elemental fluctuations flew and landed in the ruins.
Soon the hidden monster was smashed out.
-391!
A damage figure abruptly rises from the rubble.
Forthwith.
With a roar, the piece of rubble suddenly exploded from the inside, and a blue-gray figure shot out quickly!
Chains of Hatred!
"Come here!"
Da Meng instantly threw out a dark blue chain and wrapped it around the other party's body.
Forced hatred!
Its steps towards the soldier's camp immediately stopped, like a cavalry that had been forcibly stopped, and its momentum immediately decayed.
Its appearance is presented in front of everyone's eyes.
It was a humanoid monster covered in a layer of hard stone skin.
It was as if a statue had come to life, but as the stone skin on its body shattered and fell off, its shriveled flesh was exposed, like a dried corpse.
"Whew!!"
It threw its head back and let out a dull roar.
Suddenly.
The sound of rocks breaking came from all directions!
