Chapter 209. The utility of civil buildings
As Kant gave the command, the system instantly popped up a dialog box.
γDing... System Prompt]
[The construction cost a total of 15,570 dinars, a total of 100 days. γ
[Yes/No choose to build? γ
[Note: Only 17,380 dinars will be left after construction, please note.] γ
The system gives an almost warning-like prompt.
There is less than 20,000 dinars left, which is no longer able to maintain the balance of payments, or Kant never had any income at all, and is often spending, if this dinar is left, then after Kant pays the first week of military spending next month, the dinar will continue to fall into the point of running out of oil.
The system does not prompt you.
But Kant did not hesitate at all: "Build!" β
This is his command.
The system chose to obey, and in an instant, the data flow poured out, surging around the castle building below.
At the same time, Kantian Thinking continued to give instructions: "Consume 1000 Fame, and the construction time will be shortened to 1 day!" β
Since the previous construction time has been shortened, it is understandable to continue to shorten it now, for Kant, all that is missing is the dinar, and the prestige value, he is absolutely not lacking now!
What he wants is a castle that can be built quickly in a short time!
γDing... The construction time has been shortened. γ
A dialog box pops up.
Underneath Kant, in the castle of "Drehem", buildings were instantly erected in the flow of data.
It's really being built at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Originally, the houses with stone as the foundation and wood as the wall were all made of neatly cut stone in the data stream, whether it was walls or pillars, the whole body was built of stone from the mountains of the Swadia Kingdom, even the roof was made of stone, and only a few structures, such as wall supports, doors and windows, were made of wood.
The original house of more than 3 meters high has been directly transformed into a two-story building more than 6 meters high.
The capacity has directly increased by 2 times!
These 100 basically renovated high-end houses can fully accommodate 1,500 civilians, even if 700 soldiers go in to rest, it is more than enough, because the new high-end houses have greatly increased the internal living space!
If it is a large bunk, it can accommodate 5,000 people without considering comfort!
Extremely scary numbers!
With Kant's "Drehem" castle, it can now accommodate 5,000 heavily armed soldiers, as long as the needs of food and drinking water are met, even tens of thousands of troops are estimated to be unable to capture this castle, especially with the cruel environment and geographical advantages of the Narun Desert, even if hundreds of thousands of troops arrive, they will be hated on the spot!
Siege battles are always ten times greater than those of the defenders, so that they have the possibility of winning.
Because the advantage of city defense is really too exaggerated.
The time and place are favorable, and among the favorable locations, there are also factors of city defense, and even in the case of high morale and sufficient reserves of the defenders, it is difficult to capture the city!
This has been proven in the history of the earth.
Both Chinese and foreign.
It is also classical, feudal, and modern.
If you want to capture a fortified city that is united, it is absolutely impossible to capture it without heavy casualties, and even if it is captured, your own losses will be extremely heavy, which will eventually lead to the delay of wartime and cause a follow-up chain reaction.
Especially on the high-level walls of the "Drehem" castle, large arrow towers and large towers can almost be called a forest, if there are really 5,000 defenders, including 1,000 archers, it is enough to make the city fortifications play the maximum role, so that any siege troops can experience the taste of arrows raining down, even the city walls can not be approached!
Kant doesn't have 5,000 heavily armed soldiers, but he has 1,500 civilians, nearly 700 or so elite soldiers, and the upgraded high-class bell tower!
At a height of 20 meters, it clings to the Consulate next to it.
Almost all of this high-level bell tower has become part of the consul hall, and even the arrow tower of the consul hall has been specially opened to make a small opening, just enough to go directly to the high-level bell tower next to it at a height of 10 meters.
If the situation calls for it, this high-class bell tower can not only be used as a watchtower, but also as an arrow tower for archers!
But the most useful thing is its characteristics.
[Superior Clock Tower: Civil/Military Building. A large building made of neatly cut stones. The top tower has a large bronze bell that can be used to tell the time or sound alarms on a daily basis. Building Features: (1) Emergency Mobilization: When war comes, ring the bronze bell to recruit all civilians to arm to protect their homes, and during the defense of the city, all civilians will be temporarily promoted to the Swadia militia. (2) High morale: In wartime, when the enemy attacks, the bronze bell rings and emits a deafening bell to motivate the soldiers to fight, and will not be demoralized due to the enemy's prolonged siege or brutal battle conditions. γ
Kant swept through the introduction of the high-level bell tower, compared to the previous fortress-level bell tower, it has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and the ability to bring to the entire castle defenders is almost qualitative.
Originally, it was used to upgrade civilians to Swadia recruits.
And now it has become the Swadia militia.
Although the low-level troops of level 1 and level 2 are not of much help to Kant's current combat sequence, they cannot stand the Swadia militia converted into 1,500 civilians, and completely rely on the superiority of numbers to win.
In the real world, there is no such thing as health or defense.
Even if you're a tough knight.
can fight one against a hundred, one against a thousand, but once he is pierced into the heart with a spear, damn it, this almost invincible transcendent knight, so fatally wounded, it is impossible to survive.
If you are stabbed in the heart in the game, it may be a harmful attack.
Although he lost a lot of blood, he still attacked vigorously, and he didn't look like he was injured at all.
These Swadia militias, with their towering and wide fortifications, could become the most important numerical advantage of the defenders, and if the enemy wanted to attack, even if they climbed the city walls, they would have to be put up for the most stubborn resistance by these militiamen, dressed in iron armor, armed with heavy spears, pickaxes, and broad shields!
Melee combat, a pickaxe that can break armor, is not a vegetarian.
What's more, on the narrow city wall, there is no life or death!
The second characteristic of the appearance of the high-level bell tower, high morale, is the characteristic that makes any soldier have high morale and can fight desperately at the cost of his life.
If you add Kant's strange things, the horn that can increase morale [the power of command], and even make those militiamen burst out of their morale beyond their original mentality, even if they have the courage to die with the enemy, they can appear like a madman, defend their home and country, and be not afraid of sacrifice!
Castle-level buildings often have their own unique meanings!
After all, the village is only the most basic unit, and in the sense it is closer to a symbolic stronghold.
A fortress is an enlarged version of a stronghold of power, with its own scope, perhaps establishing a fortress in a certain important place represents the rule of the power, but it is more meaningful to determine the right to rule.
Castles are different.
The castle is the true ruling center of the locality, the central domain of any lord.
Attacking a village is tantamount to provocation.
Attacking a fortress is tantamount to declaring war.
Then attacking the castle is tantamount to not dying!
Castles are no longer purely military, but also political.
Attacking the castle is a slap in the face, making all the castle lords lose face, and there is almost no possibility of discussing with the attacker, unless the two are divided between the winners and losers, or one side is defeated, they can sit at the negotiating table and communicate.
Therefore, the castle-level architecture is not only perfect, but also takes into account military and political factors.
This is the case with fortifications and high-class towers.
The same is true for people's livelihood buildings.
γDing... System Prompt]
[Please determine where the following buildings will be built, and construction will begin quickly.] γ
Among the livelihood buildings built by Kant, there are many buildings that do not belong to the upgrading aspect, and he needs to personally select the location so that these livelihood buildings can all be connected to form a complete channel.
That's right, it's the channel.
Deep wells, water towers, water diversion channels, small fountains, fire towers, and guard towers are all built in one.
It needs to be connected to build a channel.
The water tower can be connected to deep wells or living water, so that the water can be transported by water trucks to the huge water tower, forming a height difference, and then pouring the water into the water diversion channel, so that the clean water can enter the small fountain and fire tower connected to the water channel, and can be used by the military and civilians living in the castle.
Not only can it be used as daily drinking water, but at critical times, if a fire breaks out in the city, the person in charge of the guard tower can summon civilians to use buckets to take the drinking water from fountains and canals, and quickly extinguish the fire.
This is a well-established water source mechanism in a castle-level building.
Even if the enemy can't attack for a long time, you can quickly extinguish it without fear of fire attacks.
Therefore, although these castle-level buildings are civilian, they actually have military elements in them.
Kant pondered for a moment.
These buildings should be properly arranged, especially the water towers and deep wells that serve as the center of the channel, and should be placed carefully.
The inside of the castle is clear from God's point of view.
100 high-end homes fill the entire southern living area.
The handicraft areas in the west are crowded.
The ruling districts in the north and the military districts in the east are similarly overcrowded with increasing buildings.
However, when all the buildings have been completed and the castle level has basically been upgraded to the top, Kant is no longer thinking about the upgrade of the "Drehem" castle, but the development of more villages, upgrading to castles or cities, and making an important contribution to his control of the entire Naren Desert.
