Chapter 38: Ballista
After upgrading the council chambers of the two camps of the Sanctuary and the Forest respectively, only 12,000 of the 26,000 gold coins remained, and although most of it was used in the blink of an eye, Yang Fan didn't care.
The two "City Councils" can generate a total of 4,000 gold per day, which is enough for a territory that is still in its early stages.
After upgrading the council hall, Yang Fan set his sights on the class building again.
After temporarily abandoning the forest camp, Yang Fan was eager to build the recruitment building of the third-order class as soon as possible. With the third-order class, it will be easy to deal with the dinosaur crocodile that threatens the forest camp with the blessing of Get's magic.
But before, due to limited resources, for the safety of Laurent, Catherine and others, Yang Fan had to focus on building the city wall first. After all, these two people have a certain special meaning for both the former little prince and the current self.
Now that the resources are sufficient, it is natural to build a recruitment building for the third-order class.
The third-order military recruitment building of the Sanctuary is the "Barracks", and when Yang Fan clicked to build it, a prompt of "insufficient conditions" popped up on the image.
I looked at the resources needed to build the "barracks", 1500 gold coins, 10 units of wood, and 10 units of stone. Now the gold coins and wood have long met the conditions for construction, but unfortunately the only thing is lacking.
And Yang Fan also noticed that there is a prerequisite for building a barracks, that is, a blacksmith shop must be built first.
In other words, if you want to build a barracks now, the resources you need will be the sum of the blacksmith shop and the barracks.
The main function of the blacksmith is to allow the lord to purchase war machines, the blacksmith of the Templar faction mainly provides ballistas, and those who want to buy other things will need to pay three times the normal price.
The ballista is a powerful weapon for both large-scale warfare and single-scale targets.
Yang Fan once saw the power of the ballista in a movie, when the giant crossbow was shot out, only minced meat and blood mist were left in the trajectory of its flight, although the movie may be a little exaggerated, but if it is really in the era of cold weapons, it is definitely a life harvester on the battlefield.
It just so happened that the walls of the Sanctuary had just been built, and the resources needed to build a blacksmith shop were not much, only 1000 gold and 5 units of wood were enough.
There is no shortage of gold coins Yang Fan now, there are still 15 units of wood, and after building the blacksmith shop, there is just the wood left to build the "barracks", so he did not hesitate to click on building the blacksmith shop.
After confirming the build, there are 11,000 gold and 10 units of wood left in the resource. It's a pity that the peasants are short of manpower now, and the speed of stone mining is not fast, and it is very good to be able to mine up to four units of stone every day, so if you want to build the barracks as soon as possible, it will take at least two days except for today.
In the past two days, the council chambers of the two camps will generate another 8,000 gold coins, with which there is no need to worry about the funds for building barracks and recruiting infantry, and now the most important job of the peasants is to mine stone, and they simply have no energy to mine other resources. So it was useless to keep the money in his hands, and with a huge amount of money, he focused on the ballista in the blacksmith's shop.
The gold required for each ballista is 1500, and there is no need for other resources, Yang Fansuo bought 6 ballistas at a time, exactly two on each of the three city walls.
Although only 2,000 of the 11,000 gold coins remained, the security of the Templar Territory had increased by at least several times, and if there was an attack by a demonic beast at this time, even a high-level demonic beast Yang Fan would no longer be worried.
Ballistae can be moved, if the territory is really attacked by high-level demonic beasts, as long as the six ballistas are moved together to fire a salvo, I am afraid that except for saint-level demonic beasts, few creatures can withstand it.
Yang Fan also thought about taking the ballista with him or taking it to the forest camp, but thinking about the environment in the forest dispelled this idea.
Not to mention whether or not you can shoot a dinosaur or other invading enemy in an environment full of giant trees, just the sudden appearance of what happened in the forest is not suitable for this kind of war machine.
After buying the ballista, Yang Fan looked at the resources that only had 2,000 gold coins and 10 units of wood left, and sighed. 31,000 gold coins may seem like a lot, but when you actually use it, you can't do much at all.
The council chambers of the two factions were upgraded to the City Council for 14,000, the walls of the Sanctuary cost 5,000, and a blacksmith and six ballistas cost 10,000.
These are actually just the infrastructure of each camp, in addition to increasing the defense of their own territory, Yang Fan's strength has not been substantially improved.
But these things are all necessary, in order to lay the foundation for the future to develop more smoothly and faster, so even though the gold coins were spent in an instant, Yang Fan didn't care, but just sighed slightly about spending money like flowing water.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Yang Fan's melancholy look, Gater asked.
Awakened by Gate's question, Yang Fan remembered where he was, waved his hand to show that he was fine, and then said with a serious face: "Let's go out first! Go down the mountain and explain to the peasants and the archers who protect them." And then back, we're probably going to spend the next two days in this mine. ”
"Aren't we going back?" Gate's look at him with a look of surprise, this mine is dangerous and the air is not good, although it is a gold mine, it can't be mined now, what are you doing here?
Yang Fan smiled and said, "I tried to rush back every day because I was worried about the safety of the territory, which was the root of the development of the Holy Church, so I had to be cautious. But now that I've built the walls and bought six ballista carts for defense, the territory will be safe even if we're not there. Looking around the cave, Yang Fan continued: "The sooner we clean up the spiders here, the sooner we can start mining gold, so our most important task at the moment is to clean up the cave." ”
"Master, should we send in more archers? Hearing that the walls had been erected, Keith's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.
Keith is smart, or rather self-aware. He knew that the Templar archers were actually low-level troops, and their defenses were very fragile, and they were powerless to resist as long as they were approached by the enemy.
Except for sneak attacks or large-scale battles, they don't have much combat power at other times, but they are the main force when defending the territory.
In Keith's heart, the walls were their battlefield. If an enemy comes to attack, they will reap their lives with arrows on the walls beyond the reach of the enemy.
That's why Keith was so excited when he heard that the walls had been built. It's like Maxima meets Bole, no matter how talented you are, it's useless to meet someone who can't let you play to the fullest.
In Case's view, the current archers are like a thousand horses, and Yang Fan is Bole, and the city wall is the stage provided by Yang Fan for him.
Of course, this is only to say that the city walls are the most powerful combat environment for them. They can also play to their heart's content in a mercenary-like mode like Yang Fan and a few people, but instead of standing on the city wall to defend, they are now more concerned about Yang Fan's safety.
