Chapter 394: Planning Completed
"Okay, which of you will explain to me, what is this?"
Rod tapped the air in front of himβββ of course, in the eyes of others, there was nothing there - and hearing Rode's inquiry, Little Bubblegum and Seven Love were silent for a while, and did not speak, but the canary opened his mouth to answer Rode's question.
"That's my proposal, huh? Commander, what do you think? β
"Okay."
Hearing Canary's answer, Rod rolled his eyes helplessly, and then he reached out and pointed to the "Fortress Sketch" he saw. I have to say that the fortress proposed by the canary looks very similar to what Rhodes built in the game, but there are still a lot of changesβββ if you look at it from above, the whole fortress looks like a very neat five-pointed star, and under the canary's design, the four corners of this five-pointed star are very cleverly connected to the cross-shaped misty peaks, plus the peaks of the misty mountains are already steep, this shot makes it a natural barrier extending from the fortress. The conical tower is divided into two levels, the inner and outer floors, and stands at the junction between the top and the inside of the pentagram, which is used to monitor the surrounding movement and protect against threats that are likely to arise outside.
On the outside of the pentagram wall, the canary also specially designed a river channel to channel the water flow from the nearby hills, forming a circular moat to surround the fortress. On the inside of the fortress, Canary didn't end up using the European-style castle-style building proposed by Little Bubblegum, because it was a guild fortress after all, not a political center or a power agency, and that kind of flashy stuff might be liked by the player, but for the mercenaries, they didn't have the patience to climb hundreds of stairs just to report the results of their mission to the leader. And the white jade floor and red carpet are too extravagant for these mercenaries.
Therefore, on the building of the central floor, Canary uncharacteristically used a relatively simple team fortress design pattern, and designed a "five-pointed star fortress" inside the fortress. "The flat-topped fortress fortress in the shape of a zigzag, except for the main fortress, which is four stories high, the other three fortresses are only three stories high, and at the top of these fortresses, each has a straight high-altitude passage leading to the five watchtowers inside, that is, in the event of an emergency, then the mercenaries only need to pass through these high-altitude passages connecting the watchtowers, and they can reach the area where the watchtowers and the city walls are located in the shortest possible time. In other places, according to the pentagonal shape of the fortress, there are commercial areas, manufacturing areas, living areas, and special passage space for transit.
Of course, in addition to these external structures, things such as water sources and underground sewer treatment systems in a fortress are also essential, of course, these are not in the scope of Canary's consideration, as a liberal arts student, she does not know any architectural design, but fortunately, the fortress originally set by Canary is a building on the basis of the original sketch of the construction system, and the sewerage and living treatment facilities have long been planned, which does not need Rod to have a headache.
Of course, strictly speaking, this fortress itself is still very poor, after all, this is only the most basic fortress, and according to the upgrade options after the Rhodes Mercenary Guild, the fortress will have new changes and options. In the game, after a player guild builds a stronghold, there will also be a similar choice direction as a talent tree, and the guild leader needs to decide whether the stronghold is more offensive or defended, and depending on the choice, the growth form of the stronghold will be different in the future. And after the guild level increases, the buildings and spaces that can be unlocked will also vary greatly. β¦,
Not only that, but in the game, guild players can even trigger special quests for guilds if they are lucky, allowing them to get their hands on some very rare and rare fortress equipment. It's like the Starlight Fortress where Rhodes was in the past, there used to be rare beings such as the Holy Soul Protective Pylon and the Mana Construct Guard. These are the result of rewards for guild quests, some of which are long-lost powerful weapons and protection systems, while others are sketches of a device that is worth a lot more than βββ former.
But these things, Rhodes must not be in the mood to think about it now, his fortress is poor and white, those mercenaries patrolling the watchtower can take a bow and arrow, with his current fortress level, even the most ordinary city defense weapon such as a ballista can't be unlocked, let alone other aspects.
In addition to these shortcomings, just looking at the appearance, this fortress is very much in line with Rhodes' requirements, the practicality is very heavy, tall, the city wall in the form of a five-pointed star can not only provide more room for the guardians to maneuver, but also provide better protection for the fortress, and in the form of a five-pointed star, it is definitely a very difficult thing for the attacker to break through the wall and enter the fortress from which side. On the other hand, this gorgeous form can be regarded as satisfying the vanity of the girls, after all, this form of fortress, coupled with those high-altitude passageways connecting the watchtowers, looks very beautiful and spectacular.
After reading the canary's proposal and structure, Rod couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, but he still revised part of the structural drawing, increasing the area of the living area and commercial area, and reducing the territory of the manufacturing area. To know the next development of the guild of Lu Dao, to a large extent, it depends on the alchemy knowledge mastered by this young lady, this is one of Rod's trump cards, so it is natural to protect it.
"Alright."
After reworking the sketch, Rod let out a long sigh, and he carefully reviewed it again, and after making sure that there were no problems, he nodded in satisfaction.
"So, Commander, what are you going to name this fortress?"
Next, it's the main thing.
"Name?"
Hearing the canary's inquiry, Rod was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it, in fact, Rod was very untalented in coming up with names. It's as if he first named his guild Starlight, but he just glanced up at the sky, happened to see the stars, and then came up with such a name. It can be seen from this that Rhodes is really not very good at this.
"Don't call it Starlight Fortress like in the game, Captain, I'm fed up with that Tubulaji name."
Before Rod could speak, Little Bubblegum was the first to complain.
"A lot of people outside say that the name of our fortress wasn't very good, and I don't think it's handsome enoughβββ so why don't you just call it Fortress Solomon?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Do you think this is good? Bubbles? β
"I think this is very handsome, or else it would be called Axis? These are all very handsome. β
ββ¦β¦β¦ What do you think of Seven Loves? β
Hearing Little Bubblegum's natural answer, Rod couldn't help but press his forehead, and then went to seek the opinions of others.
"Hmm............ What do you think of calling it Storm Fortress or Thor's Throne, if you want me to say, master? Don't you think it feels very powerful? β
ββ¦β¦β¦ Forget it, canary, what about you? β
"I think it's better to call it Nessera or Mistron, Captain, doesn't that sound mysterious?" β¦,
Expect them to look like they're out of play.
"Forget it, that's it, I'll think about the name or something later, Canary, you can start building the Summoning Gate."
"That's good, Captain."
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful advice from these three people, Rod had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and close the spiritual contact with the three people. After he retracted his thoughts, Rod walked out of the room, and then he beckoned, and seeing his gesture, Joey soon ran up to Rod in a puff of smoke.
"Boss, what do you command?"
"Gather everyone together, I have something to say."
"Now?"
"Yes, now."
Hearing Rod's order, Joey scratched the back of his head in confusion, but he nodded anyway and quickly turned away.
I have to say that as a thief, Joey's movements are still very fast, but in a moment, the mercenaries who were originally patrolling and resting around have been gathered, some of them are patrolling, some have just woken upβββ Anne is the most typical example, when she stood in front of Rod, the little guy's eyes were not fully opened.
"Meow......... What's the matter............ Head............ Whew............"
Leaning on the shoulder next to her, Anne had her eyes half-closed, her little head little by little, a listless and sleepwalking with Zhou Gong in her sleep.
But Rod didn't care about this, he just looked at Anne, shook his head helplessly, and then moved his gaze to the others.
"I have summoned you not for anything else, but for this fortress. I think everyone knows that this is our territory now, and I'm going to rebuild the fortress here. β
Hearing Rod's words, all the mercenaries looked at each other with a hint of strangeness on their faces, and after a while, one of the mercenaries raised his hand curiously and a little worriedly, and then spoke.
"My lord, are you going to rebuild the fortress now? This one......... Isn't it too much of a hurry, after all, this place ..............."
Speaking of this, the mercenary didn't continue, but everyone around him understood what he meant.
Indeed, if it is just a small area of tinkering, take some stones or trees to block the fortress walls, or wipe down those old furniture or something, everyone has no opinion, mercenaries are out all year round, they are not unable to do this kind of thingβββ but now the damage level of this fortress has broken through the sky, especially the explosion when the plane passage circle was eliminated last night, almost a part of the fortress was completely bombarded, this scale, I am afraid that even professionals can only shake their heads and sigh when they come, What can they do as mercenaries?
And this hellish place, now if you want bricks without bricks, tiles without tiles, and mud without mud, what are you going to do?
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that."
But Rod clearly knew what they were thinking, and he waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't need to care.
"I'm not going to let you do this work, and I'll do the rest. However, in order to avoid danger, I can get out of here for a while, so that there will be no problems. β
"Leave for a while?"
Hearing this, the mercenaries were a little puzzled, even Marlene looked at Rhodes with some curiosity, only Lì Jie's eyes suddenly lit up at this time, as if she remembered something.
"So, what do you need us to do? My lord? β
"It's simple."
In the face of the mercenaries' inquiries, Rod's answer was extremely relaxed.
"For your safety, I will temporarily retreat to the back of the valley, it will only take half a day......... Of course, in order to keep a little surprise, I don't want you to peek. (To be continued.)
