Chapter 22: We Need an Army
A black line slipped on the door of Da Liang's head.
Look at the gold coins in the room and say in your heart, your taste is not high now.
Da Liang was about to talk about the territorial drawings, but the happy Marquis Stanley pulled him and walked towards the castle.
"Let's go, come with me and see the market we've built through."
Follow Marquis Stanley to the top floor of the castle.
It's a complete defense. In the middle is the main body of the castle, which is also the highest point of the entire defense system, a total of three groups of ten large-caliber guns each aimed at the east, north, south, three directions, another ten medium ballistae to fill the gap between the guns, in the middle is the air defense position composed of ten heavy crossbows and twenty light crossbows.
Each of the four corners of the castle is connected by a drawbridge to a circular tower, which houses the defensive position of the necromancer.
Outside the castle, there is a wall about 10 meters high, which forms the outermost defense line of the entire defense system, and the enclosed open space can provide shelter for 10,000 people.
In the distance, to the west is the city of Jiading, surrounded by a dark canopy, and to the east is a large cargo distribution center. What was once a barren gravel field now enclosed about 10 square kilometers of land by a wall, with two 20-meter-wide avenues crisscrossing the four gates, and smaller roads crisscrossing the market into cargo storage areas.
The current cargo distribution center has begun to operate, but due to the impact of the Shangjiang War, the goods in the storage area are still relatively sparse. However, looking at the convoys that are connected to the end of the road leading to Shangjiang to the east and Shidongkou to the north, it can be seen that this cargo distribution center is quickly filled.
To the south of the castle is the logistics center of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, which is much smaller than the cargo distribution center because the logistics fleet of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce now only covers the Shangjiang area. A large number of undead convoys gather the things they are entrusted to transport here, and then classify the goods that are destined for one place.
The undead don't need to rest on uniqueness to keep the entire logistics network running.
To the north of the castle is the Player Supermarket, which not only has goods brought by the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce from all over the world, but also provides player booth rental business.
Now this supermarket with diversified goods has begun to attract players, and most of the non-undead players in Jiading City are coming to this market.
At the top of the castle and looking around, the entire Jiading City Trade Center is already on track. Connecting the Yangtze River and the ocean, it is likely to become the largest player and NPC trading market in the whole of China in the near future, so can this sturdy-looking castle under its feet protect it?
"Lord Marquis, this place is truly spectacular!" Bright awakens the old lich who has become obsessed with the sight in front of him and the gold coins of the future.
The Marquis of Stanley laughed, his hand swept over the large market under the castle and said, "Brother Da Liang, my good brother. This is the market we have built together, the market where our friendship will be entrenched, it will bring us countless wealth, and make us the envy of everyone. ”
Da Liang said, "Lord Marquis, have you thought about how to protect your present and future wealth? ”
Marquis Stanley didn't know why Da Liang said this, he said confidently: "My undead army can protect my city, and the Terrans of Shangjiang City are my solid allies. ”
Da Liang poured cold water and said: "But your undead army is not strong, the level 10 city makes your army class limit stop at level 10 Corpse Witch King, this is the main ranged unit of the undead clan, they should be a protected unit." When we're attacked by powerful enemies, we need the kind of army that can fight it out, and the vampire king can't do it, and the ghosts can't do it.
Moreover, Shangjiang City is also extremely unstable, Grand Duke Howard, as the former prime minister, refuses to return to Shangjiang in Fengxian City in the south, and Songjiang and Nanhui are also moving closer to him. Although the Marquis of Joshua was greatly damaged, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely cross the river and head south again. The Shangjiang region will definitely start a war again one day in the future, and the scale may be bigger than the last time, and the wealth that your Jiading City has is extremely tempting for the three of them. ”
Marquis Stanley's head is not very bright when it comes to settling accounts, but he is definitely not confused when it comes to big things. At least in the early days of the Shangjiang War, Chen Bing watched the battle at the border and played soy sauce, and later saw Howard attack Fengxian City and then led the army to enter the Shidongkou tactics, it can be seen that Marquis Stanley still has a good strategic vision.
This time, after Da Liang's mention, Marquis Stanley immediately woke up from the recent gold coin harvest, and he asked, "Brother Da Liang, what should we do, how can we keep our gold coins." ”
"Of course, it is to expand the army and upgrade the city, Jiading City needs Dark Knights, it needs Horror Knights, which is to make all creatures fear level 11 and level 12 troops. With them defending Jiading City, everyone who tries to target it must first consider whether their army can withstand their slaughter. ”
Marquis Stanley shook his head and said, "His Majesty the King of the East China Sea will never allow me to upgrade Jiading City to a level 12 city. ”
Da Liang persuaded: "But now Shangjiang City has the ability to stop you?" Or is Your Majesty willing to lose your only ally now and push you into Joshua's or Howard's side? They all have ports that open to the sea, and they will all be more than welcoming to you. ”
Seeing that the Marquis of Stanley was still a little hesitant, Da Liang pointed to the big market in the distance and continued: "Since we now have it, we should think about how to defend it, now your army can't stop the unicorn, Naga; Can't stop the cavalry; Can't stop the cyclops, manticores, and bipedal dragons. When the Shangjiang War began again, there was no Dark Knight to defend it, and it was the place that was razed first. ”
Thinking that the big market in front of him would be destroyed one day, the Marquis of Stanley had no worries: "I will listen to you, and I will listen to you when it comes to making money." ”
What Da Liang said to Marquis Stanley was not alarmist, if Da Liang was still imagining the earning power of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce before, now standing here and looking at everything in front of him, he could appreciate what kind of terrifying wealth it was.
It is to make anyone want to take the wealth for themselves.
And 20% of this wealth belongs to Da Liang, and of course he can't watch this wealth be placed in an unprotected environment.
Jiading City needs a large number of troops, and it needs the strongest level 12 soldiers, the Terror Knights, to deter all those who have any intentions here.
Terror Knight (Level 12 Undead)
Attack: 18
Defense: 18
Damage: 150-300
HP: 1200
Class Traits: 20% chance to curse the enemy (Cursed units have minimal damage and no attack power at all!) )
20% chance to double damage (Hearts hit, at which point their attack power is doubled, dealing massive damage to enemies.) )
The strongest level 12 soldier, the guy who can go head-to-head with the level 13 bone dragon.
