Age of Global Lords

【The assessment of survival points is over, the player has obtained 24715 survival points, please continue to work hard to build the territory! 】

It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and Luo Ling received a message from the game system.This time, the Survival Points of the Oak Territory did not double, and they directly got more than 4000 points.

The growth brought about by the fourth-tier territory and the hero altar, rare heroes, and several third-tier wooden arrow towers is obvious, so many survival points are enough for him to upgrade the defensive towers in the territory.

"Wooden arrow towers and crossbow towers can keep the current number, and in the future, try to cultivate elemental towers or some special function defensive towers." Luo Ling thought in his heart, he still needs the most basic defensive towers, otherwise he simply doesn't have enough Survival points will be equipped with brand new elemental towers inside and outside the territory.

The Thunder Tower is very powerful, but the raw materials needed are too difficult to obtain.

He still has seven divine power crystals in his hand, and he had already charged the baby dragon back to its original form yesterday, but he didn't want to use all of them to replace the third-order thunder element crystals, for fear that there would be a shortage of space element crystals in the future.

"It looks like today's attack is very strong, and the pressure on the defense of the territory is relatively high. Simply build four more Thunder Towers in the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast directions. This way the coverage is much wider!"

If the construction is successful, the eight Thunder Towers in the territory will present a [meter]-shaped defensive matrix, no matter what direction the enemy comes from, they will always encounter a Thunder Tower.

The defense of the previous territory was basically in the shape of a cross, with various defensive towers set up near the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and heavy troops.

The current dungeon monsters don't really concentrate all their power on the city gates. They don't even need to climb over the city gates. Of course, it's easier to break through from places with weak defenses.

Just do what you say, the power of a Thunder Tower is stronger than the sum of several wooden arrow towers of the same level. Thunder is not only powerful, but also has the characteristics of stiffness and exorcism.

Snake Demon and Rat Demon would not be restrained by Thunder in the strict sense, but Lich and Bone Dragon were different.

If they dare to come near the territory, they may be directly killed by a lightning spear!

If it weren't for the lack of resources in hand, Luo Ling would also like to match the other defensive towers near the Thunder Tower.

Don't look at the settlement of more than 2 survival points at once, it will be consumed very quickly, and there will be only about [-] survival points left in a short while.

When they were fighting outside and on the city wall last night, Zhao Ming and other six miners worked overtime to collect salt mines and stones in the mine. The efficiency of the six miners who absorbed the kobolds' primary mining proficiency increased greatly. Each of them could collect salt ore in an hour. 1 points of stone, six people is 20 points.

Previously, their collection speed was 1 points of stone per hour, but now it is directly doubled.If you upgrade to the intermediate mining proficiency, you can collect 10 points of stone per hour.

The embarrassing thing about the Oak Territory is that there are almost no minerals in the territory, and this small salt mine is about to be mined out!

The timber income side is purely due to the strength of the number of people.

The three junior lumberjacks were originally efficient, but they were selected to serve as soldiers, and they could only let the newly recruited farmers and farmers who were farming and growing vegetables to cut trees.

Because of the overnight work of these farmers and miners, so many wooden arrow towers, crossbow towers, and catapults in the territory last night continued to operate without interruption.

Many players on World Channel and Current Channel could barely resist the attack of monsters at the beginning.However, the survival points at the back are exhausted, and the stone and wood are gone. After the defense tower loses its resource replenishment, it becomes a decoration without any ammunition at all.

Everyone never thought that such a situation would happen before. At most, they should save some resources as a backup. If it is not possible, they can mine and cut trees while dealing with foreign enemies.

In the battle in the early hours of this morning, many players faced the embarrassing scene of no trees to cut and no mines to dig in the territory.

If it is not in the forest area, there will not be a large forest in the territory itself for felling.

Even for the players in the twilight territory, they cut down the trees in the territory from the beginning, and used almost every inch of the land.Anyway, you can usually go to the forest outside the territory to cut trees. Before the monsters attacked the city, they only attacked in one direction and did not siege the city.

If there are no resources, farmers and loggers can be sent from the other side to collect resources.

This time it was different, the monsters in the dungeon surrounded the territory from all directions, it was like catching a turtle in a urn.

Luo Ling felt more and more that the defensive battle of the territory was a fantasy version of the ancient city defense battle, and all kinds of preparations had to be made so that he would not be caught off guard.

He doesn't dare to spend all his survival points now, he must leave a part as an emergency reserve of war resources.

No one knows the exact number of those monsters. The last few attacks have been for several hours. What if the next time there are endless monsters surrounded for one or two days or even three or four days?

Everything has to be prepared according to the worst case!

In fact, the elemental tower also has attack restrictions, and the energy of elemental crystals at its core is not endless.

It can't be used up in normal use, and they can automatically absorb the corresponding elements to recover after a few hours of fighting each time. The ice tower in the Oak Territory is the fastest recovery.

The cluster effect formed by the second-order cold springs and the water element ice element veins makes the surrounding ice elements gather. The temperature here is a few degrees lower than other places, and it is cool to be exposed to the sun during the day.

Therefore, Luo Ling has never traded fire-type defense towers with the military. He knows that such defense towers must recover slowly in his own territory.

Of course, the most active thing in the forest is actually the wood element, but wood attribute defense towers are relatively rare, and their lethality is not enough. He has obtained a second-order wood element crystal for so long.

Territories in desert areas are suitable for earth and fire attribute defense towers, territories along rivers, coasts and even islands are suitable for water attribute defense towers, and mountainous and hilly areas are suitable for earth and metal element defense towers.

Luo Ling walked down from the city wall, took off his equipment, and went back to the bathroom of the double-storey stone house to take a quick shower to let the sweat and blood on his body disappear.

The stains on the equipment will automatically disappear when they are put into the game package, and the original appearance will be restored instantly, which is the most powerful cleaning method.

For the safety and tidiness of the territory, he deliberately set up public bathrooms and toilets in the living area to separate men and women.

As a lord, the future castle will inevitably include bathrooms, toilets and other facilities, and will not go out to mix with the residents.

At a time when it should be full of vigor and efforts to build, the territory is quiet, only the sound of passing birds can be heard.Both people and pets are sleeping soundly, so have a good rest.

Luo Ling didn't feel sleepy right now. After putting on his equipment, he came to his garden to check the condition of those exotic flowers and plants.

Yesterday, the baby dragon and its transformed dragon sparrow were fighting over the territory, and the dead manticore fell down and hit some flowers and plants.

Due to the expansion of the territory, the defense towers on the city walls at the edge of the territory can no longer attack the flying monsters in the core area. The attack distance is only 500 meters at most, but the radius of the territory is 1210 meters.If you want to prevent similar situations from happening again, you need to set up defensive towers in the inner city.

"Everything needs to survive, if only I can produce survival points."

Luo Ling complained that he gave these plants some natural magic power, making them look vibrant.

The seeds of pearl dates germinated quietly, and a touch of green struggled out of the soil.

He didn't know what the effect of the Pearl Date was, and he could only find out after it blossomed and bear fruit.

The cold spirit fruit tree that has just matured for a season is lush and lush, with a tall trunk, higher than the roof of a double-storey stone house.There doesn't seem to be any signs of continuing to bloom at present, and it may take a while to accumulate energy.

On the contrary, the Wolong mulberry tree next to it is covered with clusters of white flowers, and bumble bees are collecting honey on it.

It was also Luoling's luck, the Wolong mulberry tree had just matured and had been picked for a season.Originally, it would take a period of time to re-grow and develop to bloom again, but as a result, the territory upgrade skipped the middle process and bloomed again!

This is a specialty of the Oak Territory, and it is quite good whether it is sold or used to make wine.

The Wolong mulberry tree in the garden is the mother plant he transplanted from the wild. The 100 Wolong mulberry trees in the mulberry tree plantation are special products that are rewarded by the game when the territory reaches level 3.There is a huge bird's nest on the mulberry tree in front of me. The two cubs of the fierce feather eagle were built with the help of Bao Baolong and Silkworm Baby. There are not only fragments of fire attribute spar, but also a tail feather of a phoenix.

Currently, the two eagle cubs have begun to moult, and the light gray fluff on their bodies has fallen everywhere, but the hard feathers have not grown, so from the outside, it seems that they are both bald at a young age.Usually, I don't want to get out of the nest at all, but silently lie on the phoenix's tail feathers to absorb the fire element and feel the breath of the phoenix.

The first-order black bamboo behind the stone house has grown smoothly. Not only does it grow gratifyingly, but it also shoots out bamboo shoots one after another. It smells faint and refreshing, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

In addition to these, there are horsetail flowers, frostgrass and other plants in the garden. They are of great benefit to living around druids.

Luo Ling also likes to read books or browse forums leisurely under the Wolong mulberry tree.

……

"My lord, there is an elf caravan coming three kilometers away from the north city gate. It looks like five different flags and badges."

Bernie's news emerged from the communication crystal board, and Luo Ling immediately recovered, sat up from the ground, and replied: "Can you recognize the meaning of these badges?"

Others may not be able to identify it, but Bernie is also a member of the elves, so he knows about these.

The elf thief Bernie, who just killed countless monsters last night, is standing on the watchtower on the top of the mountain, using binoculars to check the badges engraved on the flags, trying to identify: "If I'm not mistaken, these badges represent our The nobles of the elves are Morning Song, Moon Chaser, Evening Star, Fire Feather, and Wind Chaser."

The high elves are still divided into royal family, nobles, and commoners. The nobles have considerable power, for example, the parliament in the elves royal court is firmly controlled by them.

The elves have never been supporters of peace. Not only do they fight with various races, but they also have struggles within themselves, otherwise there would be no dark elves.

Judging from the names, Luo Ling couldn't tell the difference between each noble's subordinate chamber of commerce.

He had just walked to the square in the city when he saw Yun Dongliu, the shopkeeper of the trading firm, hurried over with several apprentices including Wei La and Cui Hua.

"My lord, the representatives of the five chambers of commerce are about to arrive in the territory. Do we need to prepare anything?" Yun Dongliu asked.

Luo Ling thought for a while, since it was his first time doing business, and he was still with the five noble chambers of commerce, he needed to show his sincerity, "Let's go to the gate of the city to welcome you. Vera, you should know more than Bernie , is there anything we need to pay attention to?"

A group of people walked towards the city gate quickly, and they couldn't let the elves of the other side shut the city gate, that's not the way to welcome guests.

"The high elves themselves are more arrogant, and the nobles are even more arrogant. If they say some unpleasant things, please don't care, because that is what they think. But if they have plans for the territory, they should restrain themselves A lot." Vera added: "In fact, we have a little connection with the families behind these chambers of commerce."

"How to say?" Luo Ling knew that he should know in advance, instead of cramming now.

Vera pointed at herself and said, "Actually, I'm a branch of the Chensong family. Bernie and Violet belong to the branch of the Windchaser family. The former Captain Enoch is actually a direct member of the Windchaser family. The entire elf clan More than half of the elf rangers belong to that family, and they have produced many generals and commanders."

"Yes, our family name is Riverwind, and it evolved from the Windchaser family, but basically it has nothing to do with it. Therefore, the Windchaser Chamber of Commerce will not treat us specially because of our existence. They have lived for so long After doing so much business, he must be very shrewd." Bernie was already waiting at the gate of the city, and he hoped that the Oak Territory would not suffer.

Luo Ling slowly opened the north city gate, and a strong bloody breath was blown into the territory by the north wind.

He couldn't help frowning, the situation outside the territory didn't look good, the ground was in a mess, this first impression might be a bit bad.

But it's useless to cover up, the other party must know about the invasion of dungeon monsters.Instead of hiding it, it is better to show off your achievements and show off the strength of the territory.

About half a minute later, the teams of the five elf chambers of commerce appeared within Luo Ling's sight.

Each elf is riding a white horse with a unicorn, with its own soft light effect, as if walking out of the painting, and you can't see their embarrassment or travel fatigue at all.

"Unicorn?" Luo Ling was a little ignorant, and he was really taken aback.

When did unicorns become mounts that appeared in batches?Is the strength of the elves already so strong?

Vera whispered: "No, they are unicorns. They are descendants of unicorns, second-tier mounts."

Luo Ling was relieved after hearing this explanation. It would be too scary if there were so many unicorns.But the unicorn horse seems to be very good, it can be used as a mount for the knights of the territory, and its power must be extraordinary.

Behind these elves riding unicorns were tall, scaled horses dragging goods. The five chambers of commerce each carried a small number of guards. They were distinct and not close together.

"Welcome to the Oak Territory!" Yun Dongliu was the first to stand up as the speaker, and he was usually responsible for contacting these representatives.

The elves were quite savvy, and they got off the unicorn one after another, and saluted Luo Ling respectfully one by one: "I have seen Lord Luo Ling, we are honored to represent the Windchaser/Morning Song Merchant Guild to the Oak Territory .”

"In fact, our entire elves have heard of your miraculous territory." Greta-Wind Chaser praised, she did not because of the bloody smell outside the territory or the scratches on the stone wall contempt.

Maiwes-Fire Feather echoed: "This is the most dynamic territory I have ever seen. The rest of the territories in the Twilight Forest are not as good as the Oak Territory."

As a mage, Milian Evening Star could clearly feel the elemental aura contained in the defense towers on the city wall, which was so powerful that it could even threaten his own life.

"Thank you for your praise. I am very happy to start trade with the elves. We have been looking forward to this day for a long time." Luo Ling made an inviting gesture, "Everyone, please come in, welcome to the Oak Territory."

These elves have only seen the territory of the "God's Favored Ones" from a distance, and have never gone in to visit it. This is the first time for them.

The strong bloody smell outside the territory has killed countless monsters, and the stone city wall about 5 meters high stretches into the distance, like a dark dragon entrenched in the forest.Everyone knows very well that the Oak Territory is by no means a good place, so many dungeon monsters have never been breached.

Being invited to enter the player's territory for the first time, the elves wanted to restrain their urge to look around. They were obviously very curious about everything around them, but they could only look around with their peripheral vision.

The roads in the Oak Territory are straight and spacious, and the roads paved with thorns are clean and tidy, without any dust or garbage on them.Moonlight grass is planted on both sides of the road to beautify the environment and illuminate at night.

The fields on both sides have been reclaimed, and they are neat and continuous, and the green wheat seedlings are like a carpet.

After arriving all the way to the core area of ​​the territory, the elves saw the neatly arranged farmhouses again. The builders seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so they repaired every farmhouse exactly the same and arranged them neatly.

Luo Ling did not take them to his residence, but came to the trading house in the business district, where they wanted to discuss business.

Originally, the elves thought that the human territory must be synonymous with mess and disorder. They never expected that the oak tree territory was cleaner and more beautiful than many elf villages, but there were not so many exotic flowers and plants, and there were not so many treehouses and vines. bridge.

"Huh, there is actually a magic temple here?" Miriam - Evening Star said in surprise, wondering inwardly.

Which god's family are these gods?

The lord is a druid, but there is an admission ticket for the whole continent trading firm developed by the God of Trade, and there is also a temple of the Goddess of Magic in the territory. Could it be a new force supported by all the gods of the lawful camp?

Otherwise, why did the beast gods have to target them so much? Beast god altars in different regions launched one after another.Now the dungeon monsters who believed in the Goddess of Darkness also emerged from the extremely dark underground world, trying to destroy their territory.

Not only the elves, but also the rest of the continent's races have the same attitude, unwilling to participate in the god war between the lawful good camp and the chaotic evil camp.

History has proved that every battle of the gods will be devastated, and there are almost no winners.

Since there are these god-favored people to attract firepower, let them both fight enough.It is natural to provide some similar positions, temporary mounts or business trade without actively providing large-scale military support.

"I would venture to ask, have your elf villages or cities been attacked by dungeon monsters?" Luo Ling asked curiously.

Greta nodded: "There have been attacks, but the intensity is not very great. We are mainly worried that the dark elves will take the opportunity to make trouble, so martial law is imposed everywhere, and patrols in the Twilight Forest are stepped up."

Fortunately for the rest of the monsters, their attitude towards elves is basically the same as that of humans.But the dark elves all regard the high elves as their greatest enemy. If the high elves hadn't forcibly driven and killed them, they would not have escaped into the dark underground world.

Born from the same root, the hatred is even more vicious!

"I hope our trade will not be threatened." Luo Ling said, "If possible, I hope to open up a business route connecting the Oak Territory with your elf town. This will make bilateral trade more convenient. After all, we don't have unicorns like that." Excellent mount."

In fact, he was testing the reaction of the elves. Of course, his own territory can be the master, but the road needs to be opened in the elves' territory, and the master's support must be obtained.

Monster invasions are basically targeting territories, and rarely specifically targeting an ordinary road.

Luo Ling didn't need to build a cement road, just build a dirt road or a stone road to allow the carriage to pass.

Large-scale transactions such as food are difficult to transport with space equipment, and can only rely on traditional transportation methods.There is currently no carriage in the Oak Territory, and the trade can only be made by the Elven Chamber of Commerce. This is actually choking the lifeline, and the price is also facing challenges.

"Sorry, the matter of opening a road must be passed by the parliament. We do not have such authority."

"In fact, there is no need to open up a road. Whether you are buying or selling goods, you can come to us directly to pick them up."

"They were right."

Luo Ling did not comment on the answers of the representatives of the chamber of commerce. He pointed to the warehouse not far away and said, "Let shopkeeper Yun take you to see the samples collected in the territory. See if there are any products you want. I need Go upgrade the barracks in the territory."

Originally, the elves wanted to be polite, but after hearing Luo Ling's words, the most important things had to be put at the end.

Rossetti-Zhuyue suggested: "I heard that you gods have a special ability to renovate and upgrade buildings in a very short time. If Lord Luo Ling upgrades the barracks, is it convenient for us to watch?"

"Of course, if you are not in a hurry to trade." Luo Ling smiled on his face. He said that on purpose, knowing that the elves would definitely take the bait.

So many elves had watched the upgrade scene before, but they couldn't find anything at all.

As representatives of the noble chamber of commerce, they are also responsible for inquiring about all kinds of information in addition to making money. The territory of the gods is basically one of the most mysterious places. If you have the opportunity to find out, of course you have to check it out.

Luo Ling didn't want to be manipulated by others, so he had to show his wrist when he had to.

So he brought this group of curious elves to the school grounds and outside the military camp in Dongcheng District.

The first-tier barracks looked a little crude, with no bright spots at all.

[Do you want to spend wood x100, stone x100, survival points x1000, third-tier ice spar x1 to upgrade the barracks to second-tier? 】

Upgrading the barracks was already very troublesome. It could only be upgraded by 2 level when the territory was upgraded by 1 levels.In fact, the third-order element spar is not needed here, and the second-order element spar can actually be used.

However, the system has reminded before that spars of different attributes and levels will have an impact on advanced arms.

It just so happened that Luo Ling had more third-order spars of water and ice attributes, and ice attributes were relatively more powerful and aggressive, so he chose to add them to the upgrade materials of the military camp.

After he confirmed the upgrade, a cloud of fog appeared out of thin air.

These elves not only used various spells to try to see through the fog, but even took out the photo stone to record the shocking picture and sound in front of them.

Photo Stone is an item that can only be refined by high-level alchemists, and it is more expensive than gold of the same weight.

However, the elf representatives of these five chambers of commerce took out one each, and they were all rich and powerful.Compared with the three elves who have just grown up in the Oak Territory, they are much richer!

The gray fog filled the entire barracks, and the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong knocking was clear and pleasant, and occasionally even a corner of a wooden or stone board could be seen passing through the gray fog.

About 30 seconds later, the gray mist suddenly disappeared into the void, leaving behind a brand new barracks with flags fluttering!

[Barracks: Tier 10 building, able to recruit 7 soldiers, optional infantry, cavalry, archers, spearmen.Farmers can be trained as warriors, 5 people are trained every 500 days.Upgrade requirements: wood x500, stone x3000, survival points x[-], a spar of any attribute.Note: Spars with different attributes will affect advanced units. 】

[Ding, the barracks has been upgraded to the second level.Skill book learning slot 1, players can place the corresponding skill book, all soldiers trained in the barracks can obtain this skill, please choose carefully. 】

Those elves marveled at the birth of the miracle, but Luo Ling was attracted by the powerful characteristics of the second-tier barracks. Putting a skill book and allowing all soldiers to learn it is too powerful!

It just so happened that when he was cleaning the battlefield before, he got a skill book [Wind Slash], it's hard to say it wasn't God's will.

[Fast Wind Slash: A general-purpose skill book for melee combat. Use a weapon as a blast to slash at the enemy. The damage in the center is the highest, and the damage on both sides decreases. It can be attacked by a group or by a single target. 】

If a group of soldiers use this skill at the same time, it must be very spectacular, reaping lives like a gale.

Soldiers of any melee type can learn and use this skill, and the effects can even stack.

Previously, Luo Ling planned to auction this skill book at a high price, but now it is of course the most cost-effective to use it on the soldiers in his own territory, which can greatly improve the abilities of the soldiers and help them share more tasks.

At the current stage, anything that can enhance the strength of the territory must be used first in one's own territory.

Luo Ling directly took out the skill book and put it in the second-tier barracks, and then the book was directly disassembled by the barracks and engraved inside the barracks.Whether it is soldiers who have been recruited and trained, or soldiers who have not yet been recruited, they can learn directly.

It's a pity that there is only one skill slot. If there are two or more, soldiers can be treated as hero units!

The experienced and sharp-eyed elves didn't understand Luo Ling's actions. Fortunately, they were very sensible and didn't ask rashly. They just felt that the disappearance of the books was a bit strange.

They glanced at each other, puzzled in each other's eyes.
