Inside the Wasteland Territory.

As Lilith departed with the Pyromancer Legion.

The only hero left behind in the realm is Heidi.

She now commands the Praetorian Guard in her realm.

There are two orange legions, the champion heavy armor and the sword and shield guards produced by the Plantagenet Pioneer Leader.

The main duty of these two legions is to protect the dark forests centered on the main city from penetration.

So the number of soldiers needed is relatively large.

To this day, the number of these two legions is still expanding.

But even so.

Facing the dark and dense forest long border.

The number of people is still insufficient.

At this time, Heidi saw that Fang Yuan had temporarily put down the matter in his hand.

She stepped forward and said.

"Your Excellency."

"There's something I need to report to you."

Fang Yuan raised his head, slightly stunned.

Then he asked.

"What's the matter?"

Heidi said after a moment's thought.

"Recently, there have been some heroes from other lords in the territory."

"The level of their lurking is quite high."

"There were even a few times when we broke through the outer defenses and reached the griffon castle."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan's face showed a look of shock.

"Griffon's Castle!"

As your territory expands.

The current Griffon's Castle is considered an inner line, not a former frontier.

Able to break through defenses and lurk here.

That's really powerful.

"Did you catch it?"

Heidi shook her head.

"When spotted by the patrolling griffin knights, they were driven away."

"I'm sending someone to follow them and find out where they're hiding."

"But I lost it halfway through."

"For this, a sword and shield guard died."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan opened the lord's seal and rummaged through the battle report system.

After a long time.

Finally, in a large number of battle reports, I found the battle report of the sword and shield guards who died in battle.

"Ding, your sword and shield guards have been attacked and died."

It's a very simple battle report, and there is no news to refer to.

That's when Heidi continued.

"After that, I added guards to patrol this direction."

"But."

"It's still useless, these people can still enter our territory at will."

"Later, I went to intercept it myself."

"These heroes have disappeared without a trace."

"They seem to know about our presence in advance and avoid it in advance."

"I've never had contact with such a weird opponent."

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.

"What are they doing this for?"

"Could it be the same lord who has plots against my godhead?"

Heidi shook her head, not sure.

Fang Yuan paced back and forth in the hall.

Then open the Liege's Sign.

"It looks like we're going to start building a hardened road for the territory."

"Without hardened roads, the territory is still not very safe after all."

"There are hardened roads, on which patrolling soldiers are stationed."

"Coupled with the watchtowers on the road, they can detect intruders themselves."

"With the help of this building, we can reduce some of this risk."

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan opened the building panel on the lord's seal.

Found the option of hardening the road.

This building, which occupies a building slot every 500 kilometers, increases speed and vision by 50% when marching on hardened roads, while still not worrying about being eroded by fog.

Generally, lords build roads, mainly to dispel fog.

Because the cost of construction is not too high, but after the fog is dispelled, it is often demolished.

Because of the high cost of maintaining the road in the later stage.

As for the reason, it is not complicated, one is that the territory of the lord is relatively large.

To maintain such a large territory, it is necessary to have more than one or two hundred kilometers of hardened roads.

Communication between various territories, winding roads.

All these are calculated, if you really want to repair it, it will be tens of thousands of kilometers casually.

At the same time, the road in the field is particularly vulnerable to destruction, and its durability itself is not high.

And because of the resistance to fog erosion, every once in a while, the durability will be automatically reduced.

So basically, after a while, you need to invest a lot of resources to maintain.

Therefore, even if many lords have raised the main city to level nine.

But they seldom keep a lot of hardened roads.

At most, it is to build a part of the main territory to maintain the security of the territory.

However, this situation of the other lords did not apply to Fang Yuan.

Because he has obtained the godhead, he also has many powerful enemies.

These people are always thinking about spying on the intelligence of their territory.

And it is impossible for him to send a million troops stationed in the territory to expel these spies.

Doing so is not only a waste of troops.

It will also limit the development of its own territory.

Therefore, the relatively cheap and affordable construction of hardened roads is more suitable for yourself.

And I just need this building.

Fang Yuan looked at the map of the building and began to think about how to trim the roads in the territory.

His gaze moved to the west of the realm.

There are eight purple resource territories over there, as well as a Grand Canyon.

It stands to reason that there is no need to prune, and the Grand Canyon that has been beaten out by the forbidden spell is enough to ensure the safety of the territory.

But that's just in theory.

If the enemy has the heart, it is not difficult to send flying units across the Grand Canyon.

So these eight resource leaders have to build roads.

Replace the large bonfires on the previous patrol route with roads.

In this way, I don't have to go to the adventure guild from time to time to buy a large bonfire building to maintain the patrol route.

After all, large campfires are too easy to destroy.

And the erosion of the fog is all the time.

So to solve the root cause, there is only the option of hardening the road.

Fang Yuan began to follow the patrol route laid by the big bonfire, paving the hardened road little by little.

First, the eight resource points have fan-shaped roads that lead to the griffon's castle.

Then use the road to link the eight resource points one by one.

It's like a giant fan, enveloping the western territory.

At the same time, send a garrison legion to the other side of the canyon.

Fang Yuan was also along the canyon, pulling out a thin line.

Along the thin line, a hardened road is built.

From each resource point, connect the road to the road at the edge of the canyon.

"West, eight longitudinal lines, two horizontal lines."

"To the north is the boundary line of the Endless Mountains, and to the south is the border of the Dark Jungle."

"The total length of the planned road here is 2,000 kilometers."

"It's not too long, but it's not too short."

Fang Yuan then moved his gaze to the southern border of the Dark Forest.

"According to Heidi, that is the main breakthrough point for the spies."

"Then build a path from the Southern Purple Resource Leader to the Undead Leader."

"The road is built along the edge of the dark forest."

"The total length is about 300 kilometers."

"Then build a road from Griffon's Castle to the Undead Realm, about two hundred kilometers in total."

"Using the hardened road, a triangle was constructed between the undead realm and the southern purple resource realm."

"Arrange a patrol corps at the edge of the triangle, and the enemy will be spotted as soon as they cross the road to the south, and then simply quickly dispatch the legions from all sides, place them on the road, and then send the legions into the triangle to complete the strangulation of them."

Fang Yuan looked at the marked points on the map.

"The west is about the same as the southwest, so that's fine."

"Then there's the south and the southeast."

"The south side is mostly dependent on the undead realm."

"You can extend a line from the Undead Realm and lay it directly to the Green Sea Alliance."

"The route is not too long, about a hundred kilometers."

"Wait until you take the northern defense line in the future, and then lay a 300-kilometer line from the Green Sea Alliance to that side."

That's pretty much the way the plan for the south is going.

As for the route of the undead to the Barony's Demon Alliance.

Fang Yuan is not ready to build it for the time being.

First, there is no money, second, it is unnecessary, and third, there is not enough building space.

Hardened roads are still mainly used in core territories.

Outer turf.

Teleportation arrays are also more affordable.

Fang Yuan withdrew his gaze to the main city.

"The south, west, southwest, and southeast have been planned."

"All that's left is the hardened roads built on the main city."

"Between the main city and the griffon's castle."

"There is Shiquan Village, and there is a desperate leader."

"The two places can be connected by a road, all the way to the griffon's castle."

"So as to build a land rapid support line from the main city to the stronghold of the griffin castle."

"And then there's the underground city of Blackwater."

Fang Yuan thought about it, there was also a road to Blackwater City that had to be built here.

With hardened roads, the rapid communication between Blackwater City and the main city can be achieved by land.

Then the main city to the Voodoo Castle to the north, the road is about 300 kilometers long.

With this path, there are not too many legions stationed on the side of the voodoo castle.

In the end, the east side remains.

This direction is the focus, and there are several important territories of its own.

From the main city to the valley military station, it is about 100 kilometers.

It is one hundred and fifty kilometers from the Valle Soldier Station to the Plantagenet Pioneer Castle.

Finally, from the Plantagenet to the Bloodline Castle, there are more than 100 kilometers.

All of these places have to be built.

At the same time, Fang Yuan also planned to build a road along the junction of the dense forest and the grassland in the east.

One is being built along the river.

But the length of these two roads is a bit terrifying.

Count them in.

The original budget was less than 5,000 kilometers of routes, but it can directly skyrocket to tens of thousands of kilometers.

That's a huge number.

My daily maintenance fee is not enough.

You must know that the daily maintenance cost of the territory is now as high as more than two million.

With the addition of this more than 5,000 kilometers, it can be at least tenfold increased.

If it's tens of thousands~

Fang Yuan felt that most of the resources he produced would be consumed on daily maintenance.

So, he gave up the last two for the time being.

Instead, the first 5,000 kilometers were chosen.

Once you have drawn the dotted line on the map.

The next step is to start construction.

Fang Yuan selected the hardened road on the building panel.

"Ding, whether to choose to build a hardened road, a first-class hardened road, the construction cost per 100 kilometers is 100,000 gold coins and resources."

100 kilometers 100,000.

More than 5,000 kilometers, that is more than 500 million.

The intensity of the fighting on the northern defense line was lower than expected.

There are a lot more resources.

"Repair!"

"Ding, after spending more than 500 million gold coins and resources, you built a hardened road."

"The current mobilization order is sufficient, whether to speed up the construction."

"Yes."

"Ding, the construction is successful."

As the chime falls.

Fang Yuan opened the hardened road panel to view.

[Name]: Hardened road

[Level]: LV1

[Durability]: 70,000 (10,000 km road foundation durability)

[Daily Maintenance Fund]: 5,300,000 gold coins, resources, and the corresponding mobilization order to speed up.

[Mileage]: 5300

[Note]: After upgrading, the durability can be increased, and at the same time, the daily consumption of durability will reduce the maintenance funds.

See the huge numbers of funds that are maintained on a daily basis.

Fang Yuan gasped.

"Too many!"

"Who can handle this."

"It has to be upgraded."

Fang Yuan selected the road.

Select Upgrade.

"Ding, the upgrade costs 50,000/100 kilometers, and it needs to consume 250 million gold coins and resources."

Fang Yuan felt a pain in his flesh.

But gritted his teeth and chose to upgrade.

"Ding, the upgrade is successful, the basic durability is +10,000, and the daily maintenance fund is reduced by 200,000."

Go down to 250 million to reduce such a little maintenance fund.

Today, the daily maintenance is still as high as 5 million.

It's a fool to upgrade.

Fang Yuan decided to abandon the upgrade of the road construction.

Anyway, this special building does not affect the upgrade of your territory.

After completing the construction, Fang Yuan turned to Heidi.

"Hardened roads have been built in the territory."

"Roads can be used to patrol the territory in the future."

"You send a number of sword and shield guards first, and the champion heavy armor patrols the road."

"Be wary of intruders entering the territory."

"Yes!"

And with Heidi leaving.

Fang Yuan once again set his sights on the battle on the northern defense line.

And at the same time.

Just after he finished building the road.

The heroes who invaded his territory also sent the news back to their lords.

And these lords.

It is the Rubik's Cube of Destiny organization from Middle-earth.
