If it comes, it will be safe.

It's all here, so there's no need to leave in a hurry.

[Wanyuan Order] is the "locator" of the blasphemous charm Aojia.

can guide her to find herself.

Taking advantage of this, Chen Xuan can easily pinch her.

Isn't the demon general very arrogant?

He wanted to see if the Blasphemous Charm Olga dared to attack the Black Leaf Sentinel.

If this place is under siege by monsters.

Giant cities can send reinforcements through teleportation arrays every minute.

Whether it's defensive buildings or defensive equipment, it's all well stocked.

Enough to deal with a protracted tug-of-war.

And the energy level of the long-distance teleportation circle is very high, and it is definitely not something that can be isolated by conventional means.

In the case that reinforcements can arrive at any time, the Black Leaf Sentinel is still very capable of fighting.

Assuming that the demonic plague around Magdam City broke out here, it would be nothing at all.

The number of more than 100,000 monsters refreshed per round is not enough for the legions stationed at the outpost to kill.

During war, soldiers can receive a portion of the Core for killing monsters as an additional reward.

This proportion is about 10%~15% of the total, of course, the specific distribution is determined according to merit.

For the soldiers of the outposts and forts, war meant not only death, but also sudden wealth.

Walking on the road, Chen Xuan watched the black group disappear at the end of his sight.

The alarm was still not lifted, and the melodious horn sounded every half minute.

When the situation is urgent, the frequency of the horn is also shortened.

Chen Xuan took off the [Wanyuan Order] hanging on his waist, so that no one who knew the goods would recognize it.

He easily stuffed the [Wanyuan Order] into the lining pocket of the leather armor.

As long as the Blasphemous Charm Ao Jia could continue to sense the existence of the token, Chen Xuan didn't believe that she wouldn't be itchy.

Taking this opportunity, he planned to take a good look at the situation at the Black Leaf Sentinel.

At the same time, I stopped by the city to have a look.

If you can take this opportunity to purchase a batch of materials, it will be a double win.

On top of that, he planned to study the arming of the Black Leaf sentinel site.

This is the first gateway to the east of Magdam.

The status is equivalent to a local transportation hub in the Blue Star.

A long-distance teleportation array anchored to four spatial teleportation coordinates, plus a sturdy and impact-resistant defensive outpost.

All of the above factors give this place irreplaceable strategic value.

If you can take this place and make it a horn with the city of Magdam, it will be no less than widening the portal.

Magtan is in the western corner of the kingdom of Duroa.

It's like a small place sandwiched in a corner, and if you want to expand outward, you have to take this node.

Of course, the most trouble-free way is probably to pick the giant city directly.

However, this goal is too difficult, and it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.

From a pragmatic point of view, taking the Black Leaf Sentinel is the best option.

After that, Magdan City and the Black Leaf Sentinel formed a large pocket.

The sentinel is the mouth of the bag, which controls the inside and outside, while the city of Magdam is the bottom of the bag.

At this time, Chen Xuan only needed to take all the settlements and state cities from the outpost to Magtan City.

It is equivalent to unwittingly encroaching on about one-twelfth of the territory of Ataxus Giant City.

The most important thing is that it can bring the forces together.

As he walked, Chen Xuan had a covetous heart for the Black Leaf Sentinel Point.

However, this is also normal, he has always looked at the Naroa Continent from the perspective of a pioneer.

Grabbing land, population, and resources are all routine operations.

Especially in this world facing the invasion of monsters, if you don't have a one-third of an acre of land of your own, it is really unstable to sleep.

He shook his head, temporarily dismissing the distractions in his heart.

At the moment, it is a bit too hasty to try to plot the Black Leaf Sentinel.

The top priority is to first manage the territory of Magdam City and make it a monolith.

After the demonic disaster breaks out, there is a chance to pick up the leak.

As a hanger, as long as you can survive, you will have a chance.

And he also has to train a few more gold-level backbones for Magdan City.

A large number of "old waste" in the city who have been in the silver rank for many years are all the best gold level reserves.

The premise is that he has to make some pure [Demon Source] as food.

Ten kilometers outside the Black Leaf Sentinel City, there have been defensive nodes one after another.

These defensive nodes vary in size and in different positions in warfare.

Among them is a node responsible for blocking the advance of monsters.

These nodes tend to consist of 2~4 defensive towers, supplemented by interconnected walls.

There is also a trap area on the periphery, which is dominated by various actively activated magic arrays.

These towers were equipped with runic stone throwers.

They don't throw stones, they throw rune bullets.

It is mainly divided into rune impact bullets and rune annihilation bullets, which are essentially a magic cannonball.

The cost of a single piece is more than 100 crowns.

Hitting a single round of projection often costs thousands of crowns.

The tower has a circular design with no dead ends, and a special city crossbow is deployed.

Long-range [Insight] is displayed as [Tier 3 Tempest Crossbow].

These [Storm Crossbows] have shorter bow arms and use reciprocating strings.

Behind the crossbow is a chest that can hold 120 runic bolts the thickness of a thumb.

When necessary, the Tempest Crossbow can shoot all 120 bolts from the chests in one minute.

In other words, a rate of fire of 2 rounds per second.

Each tower is equipped with 12 [Third-Order Storm Crossbows].

Theoretically, it is possible to shoot 1440 crossbow arrows in 1 minute, and the most important thing is that the crossbow box can be quickly replaced.

This design idea is somewhat similar to Bluestar's automatic firearms.

But in the final analysis, it has not yet broken away from the category of cold weapons.

Sitting on the mysterious treasure trove of magical power, the natives of Naroa have not been able to develop the corresponding magical civilization.

Except for cultivating with the help of magic power, all other aspects are almost just some superficial uses.

For example, alchemy potions, alchemy mechanical engineering, magic patterns, rune forging technology, etc.

In fact, the potential of magic technology is far from being tapped.

This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan a little embarrassed.

However, the [Storm Crossbow] adapted to local conditions can be regarded as a small innovation of the aborigines.

Compared to the powerful and low-rate fire, this thing is already a rapid-fire weapon in Naroya.

Other than that, there's nothing new.

Each defensive tower had about 120 garrisons, of which eighty were crossbow shooters.

Of the remaining forty men, thirty-six were hoplites in heavy armor and armed with chains, hooks, guns, and shields.

There are also four different types of spellcasters.

Most of the strength ranks of the garrison are bronze, supplemented by 10 silver-level squad leaders.

In this way, there are more than 400 garrisons in one defense node and four towers.

As a defensive position deployed outside the city to slow down the advance of the monsters, it was sufficient.

Such a defensive node was called a "consumption point" by Chen Xuan.

In addition, there are other defense nodes with different functional types.

For example, the "detection point" that guards the magic tower, and the "sniper point" built on the basis of the [Fourth-Order Magic Cannon].

There are also "killing points" that can be strangled at the front of the defensive line.

A number of functions define different defense nodes, and ultimately form the outer defense line of the Black Leaf Sentinel.

The defensive nodes in these outer lines are like spikes on the body of the armored dragon turtle.

The real carapace part is the main body of the two towers of the outpost.

The construction of castle towers was common in the kingdom of Douroa.

As the name suggests, the castle tower has both the characteristics of a wall and the function of a building.

The width is usually 12~16 meters.

The middle building is hollowed out and can be used as an ordnance warehouse and a temporary resting place for sergeants.

The main garrison area was at the top of the tower, where two or three carriages could be used in parallel, which could fully meet the requirements of laying all kinds of city defense equipment and garrison guards.

Moreover, the surface of the castle tower can also be strengthened with runes or arranged with magic arrays.

It has the advantage of excellent defense, and the disadvantage is that the cost of construction is much higher than that of the city wall.

Magtan City is also built with a castle tower, so it can achieve a relatively good defensive record in the demon plague.

At the most critical moment of the demonic plague, the fire magic trap engraved on the castle tower played an important role.

Hindered the continued onslaught of the black-backed pigs and delayed the time for the city walls to be breached.

When it comes to defensive battles, the timeline is the lifeline.

You must know that the tower of Magtan was also built over many years before it was finally formed.

After all, Magtan City is also hundreds of Naroa years old.

However, even if it is the same castle tower, there are differences in specifications.

The towers at the Black Leaf Sentinel are much thicker and stronger than those in Magtan.

Advancing along the main road, Chen Xuan soon followed the flow of people to the first pass before entering the city.

Standing there, he was able to see the huge castle tower that meandered two kilometers away.

As the first castle tower outside the Black Leaf Sentinel.

It is at least ninety meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a thirty-story building in the Blue Star.

The castle tower extends from north to south, and the whole body is blue-gray, even in the sun, it does not shine.

Viewed from the sky, the main body of the urban area of the Black Leaf Sentinel is square.

The big square sets the small square, forming two city tower defense lines.

After all, this is not a settlement, and the sentinel site has a clear functional orientation from the early days of construction.

Walking along the straight road outside the outpost with the traveling merchants and farmers is also a novel experience.

Chen Xuan is not only watching, but also observing and referencing.

Trying to draw lessons from the architectural layout of the Black Leaf Outpost was used to feed back the construction of Magdam City.

As a continent that has been invaded by monsters for a long time and is facing a demon catastrophe crisis.

The sentinel layout here is extremely informative.

They must have been tested by war.

In this regard, Chen Xuan has an attitude of learning with an open mind.

To tell the truth, in terms of resisting the demonic disaster, the so-called advanced architectural layout of Blue Star is not necessarily as effective as these battle-tested aboriginal layouts.

The four words adapting measures to local conditions are enough to illustrate this problem.

Silently surveying the layout and garrison of the outposts, he followed the line behind a group of wandering merchants into the outer pass.

From here, the entire perimeter of the outpost is fenced off by a wooden fence.

All personnel must pass through a pass to enter the outlying area of the outlet.

And there have been more than a dozen large and small trade markets and open-air markets.

Passing through the pass in an orderly manner, the process is very simple.

Just stand on top of something like a monitoring magic circle for a while.

This thing seems to be able to monitor chaos magic, and can identify if there are spies in it disguised as monsters.

You must know that there are many types of monsters.

Among them, there are many demon descendants who have the ability to change shapes and possess themselves.

These descendants will often disguise themselves as natives to infiltrate outposts and cities.

Therefore, there will be similar monitoring procedures at the Black Leaf sentinel sites.

There were three passes in each direction of the outpost, and although there was only a simple fence on the perimeter, there was a group of heavily armored knights wearing heavy armor and threaded cavalry rifles hanging from the sides of their horses.

On the surrounding towers, there are also elven archers with eagle-eye talents staring.

When it comes to the level of security, Magdam City can't beat it.

After all, the Black Leaf Sentinel was born for war, and it still has some fame.

Passing through the monitoring magic array without incident, Chen Xuan officially entered the periphery of the Black Leaf Sentinel.

There are several forks in the straight.

There is a gate entrance to the outpost and several nearby markets.

Chen Xuan was not busy entering the city, and continued to sway.

He hadn't forgotten that he was "fishing and walking his dog".

The blasphemous charm of Ogga, who seemed to be running away, might be hiding in some corner at this time, thinking about how to kill him.

There is [Wanyuan Order], this "fragrant bait" continues to attract that guy's attention.

After standing there and watching for a moment, he chose to walk towards an open-air shop next to him.

Because of the existence of a long-distance teleportation array, the Black Leaf Sentinel has become a well-known material transit point.

In the markets and shops here, there is mainly the handover and purchase of bulk commodities.

The influence can cover settlements within a radius of nearly 1,000 kilometers.

As a result, the overall business environment is still very prosperous.

This is especially true in peacetime.

The place that Chen Xuan entered was called Black Leaf No. 7 Merchant Square.

Its name is just a code name, but it doesn't mean anything special.

It also highlights the simple and straightforward style of the black leaf sentinel.

Don't look at the name of the mall, but the shop is very lively, and the area is not small.

It's really comparable to those large wholesale markets in the Blue Star.

Walking into the mall along the entrance, you will see a crowd of people.

The level of liveliness is also far from being comparable to that of Magdam City.

The interior of the mall is planned according to horizontal and vertical roads, and it is as square as a chessboard.

The merchants here are not petty street vendors.

Behind each merchant is a makeshift straw shed warehouse or a number of heavy caravans full of goods.

It is worth mentioning that there is no one shouting in the mall, and there are signs hanging in front of each merchant.

It indicates the main types of goods sold, the remaining quantity, and the unit price.

The overall look is clear at a glance, simple and straightforward.

The larger merchants even have their own emblems and signboards.

What Chen Xuan feels here is that the commercial atmosphere is very strong, and the volume of material turnover and trade is huge.

Not as underdeveloped as he thought.
