The reason why Rhodes chose so many magic cannons was not simply to satisfy his insistence as a multi-turret party, but there was a basis and examples. The Battle of Diamat has been the focus of controversy between the multi-turret party and the RPG party in the forum for a long time, as the most powerful magic guide warship in the Principality of Moon, the Holy Maiden carrying 3,500 siege magic cannons is simply the embodiment of "hundreds of millions of turrets, hundreds of millions of glory", in front of this powerful firmament-class magic guide battleship, the undead army's human sea tactics were completely blocked, and tens of millions of undead creatures were completely wiped out in the beam of light that poured down like a torrential rain. For a while, the disciples of the Multi-Turret God Cult burst into tears and looked up to the blue sky, thinking that they would finally have a bright day——— until the four demons would join forces.

No matter how powerful the Holy Maiden is, it is only a man-made thing after all, and it crashes completely without even being able to resist under the power of the rules of the four demon generals, so the RPG party reappeared to say that the multi-turret is the dust and dregs of history after all, and only my big RPG party will dominate the rivers and lakes for thousands of generations. Of course, the Multi-Turret Cult will never admit this fallacy, they think that it is not that the turret is not strong enough, but that there are not enough turrets. There are even people who clamored to build a thousand ships of the Holy Maiden and bombard the entire Night Country. Many people said that just one magic guide battleship would make the four demon generals join forces to attack, so what if you build ten, a hundred, or a thousand magic guide warships!? Even the Four Demon Generals can only turn to ashes in front of the glory of my Multi-Turret Divine Cult!

The battle of ideas between the two sides is aside, but there are many players who believe that the Battle of Diamat is a good way to deal with the undead by numbers. Of course, this number is not just the number of people on both sides, but the gathering of high-attack units and the number of force gatherings that far suppress the opponent to deal with the undead, in fact, in the late stage. Many of the player's tactics against the undead were created based on this. Because the player's strength is already above the aborigines, as long as the command is right, the strength of a large group of players can indeed suppress the undead in the defense of the city. Even the aborigines, as long as they use it well, can also play a lot of role in the defense of the city. In the later stages of the Night Nation Attack, the Land of Light is able to withstand the undead in all areas except the player's own territory and most of the player's cities. The rest are places with a lot of casters. This is true of the Tour de France's Sky City and the Church's Sigh of Glory. What they all have in common is that they have a large number of ranged attack units, a long cast range, great power, and a wide range of influence.

It is precisely because of this that Rhodes chose to build these 100 medium-range magic cannons. In the face of the crowd tactics of the undead army, quality is necessary, but too much attention to quality will not have any good results. In the case of the statue of the Holy Maiden, with the wealth that Rhodes currently has, he could have made five or six crystal statues. And relying on these statues of the Holy Maiden, the scope of the holy spear is almost equal to half of the place of atonement. But that doesn't make sense, the Holy Spear needs to be recharged, and it's a directional attack. However, the enemy's tactics are ever-changing, and the plan cannot catch up with the rapid changes, if the opponent chooses a three-dimensional attack from the sky to the ground at 180 degrees, then the statue of the Holy Maiden will not be able to prevent it, and the holy spear will not be able to hit the sky and the ground at the same time. Under the transfer of the undead, the attack will definitely create a gap because of this, once the opponent takes advantage of it. Then it was only a matter of time before the most powerful artifact was finished.

Unless the attack range of the Holy Maiden is large enough that a single attack can envelop the entire Parfield, then Rhodes is naturally not afraid of anything.

But alas, that's just a fantasy.

The night passed.

When they woke up from their sleep and walked out of their rooms, they were amazed by what they saw, even though Rhodes had only changed the defenses in front of the fortress. But this is still very surprising in the eyes of many people, they don't know how to understand all this, let alone how all this happened. However, the residents and mercenaries who have lived in this fortress for a long time have immunity, and Rhodes had already shocked them when he built the statue of the Holy Maiden, and now he saw that the city wall in front of him became even taller. There was even an extra white mage tower, and they were more amazed than puzzled. After all, when Rhodes ordered a curfew before, many experienced people had already guessed that their young lord must have some big dealings. Seeing all this at this moment, I just sighed that their lord was really powerful and omnipotent.

Instead, Benny came to the door in disbelief and questioned Rod, the commander of the War Angel Legion had been reluctant to accept Rod's orders, and in her opinion, it was a very bad thing to withdraw the defense and issue a curfew. However, Rhodes said that he had important things to do, so Benny had no choice but to accept this statement. But now seeing all this, the War Angel Legion Captain finally couldn't calm down, and came to the door to ask what happened to Rhodes.

Of course, it was impossible for Rod to tell the truth to this war angel, he just said that these were all done by himself, built in order to strengthen the defense of the fortress, as for what method was used, Rod said that this was his own secret, and it was inconvenient to tell.

At this time, the benefits of the Angel of War Order's camp were revealed, although Benny was very puzzled by this, but since Rod didn't say it, then she respected the other party's opinion and didn't ask anymore, anyway, Beni didn't feel any evil aura from the fortress, as long as it had nothing to do with evil, then she didn't care what method Rhodes used to build these things.

If you were humans, you would do everything possible to get the secret that you could build a building overnight, because they knew what it meant and how much they could gain. But angels are different, they only care about kindness, fairness and justice, as for the development and evolution of scientific and technological civilization in human society............... They don't care. Since Rhodes didn't use evil secret methods to harm living beings, nor did he violate the righteousness of order, then what he did and how he did it was none of their business.

Since new buildings have been built, it is natural that there must be inhabitants. The owner of the Tour de France Tower is naturally the Canary, and as a legendary player with the eighty-fifth cap, the Canary is no stranger to the operation of the Mage Tower itself. And he also made corresponding adjustments, and moved Labis's alchemy workshop into the Tour de France Tower, and the Fountain of Magic is also a bonus to the manufacturing and success rate of alchemy equipment, which is naturally not a problem.

Now that the Tour de France Tower has been built, it is naturally imperative to recruit a group of apprentices to train them to become mages, and Rhodes has already passed the order. Select some people with spell caster talent from the guild to enter the Ring Law Tower, let the canary cultivate them, with the blessing of the aura of the Fountain of Magic, plus the training bonus of the Arcane Ball itself and the canary's teachings, I believe that these mages will become a powerful help for their subordinates in the future.

In fact, for the sake of fairness, Rhodes originally planned to build a Hero Sanctuary for Little Bubblegum by the way, as long as he designated Little Bubblegum to become the owner of the Hero Sanctuary, then she could train Spirit Master and Radiant Warrior. However, considering that the church was behind him, Rhodes put the idea back down. At the moment, there is no such force as the Tour de France and the Academy in his fortress. It's not a big deal to build a mage tower. But if the church saw that he had built a hero's sanctuary, it would be a big problem, and he couldn't explain how he built the high-level buildings of other people's churches overnight, knowing that the drawings of those buildings were top secret.

But that's not the biggest problem right now.

"Hahh............"

Rhodes leaned back in his chair, shook the materials in his hand aside, and rubbed his forehead. There was really not enough money to spend, so Lydia gave herself 10 million gold coins, which was a huge amount of money anywhere, but only for one night. There is not much left of the Rhodes flower. Build and upgrade statues of the Holy Maiden, strengthen and extend the city walls. Build the Tour Tower, the Fountain of Magic and the Silver Tower. Coupled with a hundred medium-range magic cannons, nearly nine million gold coins flowed from Rod's fingers like flowing water, poor Rod was opening the treasure chest, looking at the treasure chest that should have been filled with a box of platinum coins at the moment............ That's an indescribable, dandan sadness............

On the face of it. The problem doesn't seem to be big, a surplus of about one million can still be supported for a while, but it is not this thing that Rod has a headache for, but ......... At present, there is no way to make money under his subordinates.

Even if you look at it from the whole continent. The lord of Rhodes is also a strange thing.

Although his territory is not very small, it looks like a prince from the map. But the problem is that the land that Rhodes got in his hands was almost all no-man's land. There are no villages, no towns, no commercial contacts, no food cultivation, nothing, even a shortage of manpower. But this is not the case with other lords, who have their main cities, but they also have the benefits of towns and villages. Just like the Pafield area, although the lords of Parfield live in Deep Rock City, there are several large and small towns and villages in the Pafield area, and Pafield already has a mature commercial circulation system, and there are no problems in grain storage and capital circulation.

But under Rod's hands, what else is there besides the fortress of the Land of Atonement?

Without.

There used to be a small village, but after the fortress was built, in order to keep the fortress running, Rhodes had brought most of the people in that village into the fortress, and now the village has even lost its function as a village, and looks more like a sentry camp on the outskirts. Most of the funds in Rhodes' hands came from the proceeds of the Silver Balance and the Keller Chamber of Commerce, as well as the remuneration obtained after the sale of the alchemical potions made by Labis.

As for taxes?

Now that the Land of Atonement is mostly populated by workers, civilians and mercenaries, how much tax can you expect to collect with this demographic structure? Not to mention that now that the war is going on, most of the mines are shut down for safety, and in this current situation, it is already interesting for Rhodes not to pay for them, and to tax them? Even if you peel off their skins, you won't be able to get a few copper plates.

A dignified lord, Lord Earl, it is strange to be mixed up to this point.

Taking a step back, perhaps because she knew Rhodes' situation well, Lydia gave him this 10 million, and also ordered the rear to provide material support free of charge, otherwise how would she open her mouth and ask a territory that couldn't even turn over funds to mobilize the army to recruit soldiers to help her resist the undead army? It would not be a problem for Rhodes to spend his own money to buy food and feed these people in his fortress. But it would be impossible to recruit enough soldiers to fight the undead.

But it is not a solution to always rely on the alchemy potion made by Labis, and I have not heard of any nobleman who started by selling alchemy potions. And right now, Rhodes has no other way to make money, war burns money, which Rhodes has realized very deeply at the moment——— he knew that this was the case, and he should have asked Lydia for 50 million with a grit of his heart.

"Whew. This is the master who knows that firewood and rice are expensive, master. ”

And at this time, a crisp and lively voice sounded. Rod turned his head, and soon, he saw Seven Love, who was sitting next to him. Although it was winter, this fire elemental lord had the same virtue as Lydia, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was not afraid of the cold, and wore an off-the-shoulder robe and a short skirt with black and red edges. The dress of stockings and deerskin boots, looking at Rod's eyes, he couldn't help but shiver, just looking at this dress, Rod felt that he was cold enough.

At the moment, Qiai is sitting on a chair that is placed in reverse, with her hands on the back of the chair, her small chin on it, shaking her head boredly, behind the girl. The big fiery red fluffy tail swayed and swayed.

"There used to be bubbles, but now it's up to you. Master, this is the sorrow of the RMB soldiers, once the currency cannot be used universally, it is just a piece of waste paper, it seems that you have to consider collecting bottle caps or military bullets to get by............ It would be too sad to wait until the end of the world to avoid that I couldn't even afford a gun, so I could only wield a crowbar to challenge the faceless long-tongued woman. ”

"If you have the strength to say cool things, then you might as well save it and help me think about how to make money."

Hear the sarcasm of Seven Loves. Rod rolled his eyes angrily, he was no longer entangled in the true identity of this female fox now, why did she know so much about herself and the people around her, as the elemental lord of this world, as well as the things on earth. Rhodes had asked about Canary and Little Bubblegum by tapping on the side, but neither of them had any memory of the name Seven Love or the Fire Elemental Lord.........

Hearing Rod's words, Seven Love suddenly chuckled, and then the girl staggered her fingers proudly and raised her head.

"Isn't there no way? Master? And far away in the sky, don't you know that no matter where you are, what era, war money is the easiest to make? This is a low-investment, high-yield trade. ”

"War money?"

Hearing Qilian's words, Rod was stunned for a moment, but he quickly frowned.

"Of course, I know that the war is a good time to make a fortune, but we don't have anything, Qilian, don't you think that relying on Labis's bottles of alchemy potions can help us sell them for a sky-high price."

"Tut-tut..............."

Seven Love stood up and shook her head, she looked at Rod smugly, and held out a finger.

"Of course not, master, it's close, but unfortunately you guessed wrong. Little Labis's little potion is not even enough for us to use now, what is the little money we sell to others for, now we can hold the trump card of making a fortune? If it can be done properly, it will be a profitable business. ”

"The trump card of fortune?"

Rod frowned, staring carefully at the fox-eared girl in front of him, he recalled it carefully in his mind, but finally shook his head, Rod thought that he had something in his hands, but to say that he could make a lot of money, Rod didn't think they were qualified, but other than that, Rod couldn't think of it......... And at this time, Rod's mind suddenly lit up, could it be ...............

"Right now, the Duchy of Moon, no, the entire Continent of Light is really in danger."

Seven Love stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the scenery——— where there were snow-covered mountains and a statue of the Holy Maiden holding a spear aloft.

"The stupid and stupid people in the country of light can't stop it, and the rest of the Principality of Moon is enough to choke, master, of course you have a halo to turn evil into good fortune, but other people don't have such a good life, and the undead are all knocking on the door, it's really pitiful." They couldn't even stop it, they could only hold their heads and run away, trembling under the threat of death. ”

And at this moment, the girl's words changed.

"But now, they don't have to worry about the threat of the undead, look at our statue of the Holy Maiden, master. So noble. Beautiful, elegant. What's more, it also comes with the effect of detecting the undead and protecting a wide area, as well as weakening the undead, it can not only make your territory more beautiful, but also keep you away from necromancy. Just 998. It can prevent the invasion of necromantic creatures, has the effect of anti-death enchantment, holy spear and beautification of homes, has been ISO9001 quality certification, and has been authorized by the church, and the first 100 users who call will have the opportunity to get a complete set of magic potions, right? How, as long as 998, it's too cheap, pick up the phone and order it now! ”

Speaking of which. The fox-eared girl looked back with a grin and snapped her fingers at Rod.

What do you think of this slogan? Master? ”

Rod didn't respond immediately, he just looked at the seven loves in front of him quietly, and didn't even complain about how she came up with such a suspicious advertising slogan. It wasn't until a moment later that Rod spoke.

"What do you mean......... Can they be used for it? ”

"Of course, master."

Seven Love narrowed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Although you made it with the system. But they are real products. You should also remember that to make a statue of the Holy Maiden, you need magic crystals in addition to gold coins. If these are just fantasies, then you only need to exercise your mind to be able to see illusions, so why waste so much money? ”

"But ..............."

Rod opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

In fact, he did ignore the statue of the Holy Maiden in his mind at first. The reason is simple, these are things that are made by the system within the range of Rhodes's potential forces. So he subconsciously thought that these things could only be used within the range of his territory, and once they were out of this range, these things would probably be completely finished. But now...............

"Seven Loves."

Rhodes quietly looked into the Fire Elemental Lord's eyes, which were clear, but impenetrable.

"This world is ............ Is it real? ”

"I remember that you have asked this question before, master, I can understand your worries, but I can tell you clearly, this is a real world, so you don't have to worry about being intubated in the back of your head or having a long sleepless dream——— of course, I personally think that the thoughts of those humans in the miserable world who are aware of their intubation in the back of their head but have to abandon their illusory and happy virtual life and are willing to live in a miserable world where they can't even enjoy the taste of food and can only consume protein."

"However, this construction system, and my own ....................."

"I understand what you're thinking, master."

For the first time, the girl's voice became extremely calm and gentle. Qilian put down his hands, and a pair of eyes looked at Rod quietly.

"I can assure you, Master, you are a living being, your body flows with blood rather than data, your body is not a component of 00 and 01, and this world is the same, it is the same as the earth, a living world. Little Lijie, little Annie, little Labis are all the same. Here, they are not data, nor illusions, but real beings. ”

“………………………”

Rod looked at Seven Love in silence, and after a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for why I'm here, and what happened to me, you're still not going to tell me, are you?"

"That's not something I can say, master."

Seven Love's face changed back to its original energetic and lively and cunning smile.

"I am not qualified or in any position to tell you all this, but I am sure that one day, you will know the truth of all this."

“………………”

Rod lowered his head, and when he heard the answer of Qilian, he felt that his mood was really very complicated, a little excited, but also mixed with inexplicable loss, but soon, Rod shook his head, he took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and then raised his head to look at the fox-eared girl in front of him.

"So, let's talk about what's next." (To be continued......)
