In front of Rod, just a blink of an eye, the panel shining with golden brilliance was instantly enlarged, and soon, the overlook map of Rod's territory appeared on it, and next to it, it was the weapons and buildings attached after the current system upgrade, Rod roughly estimated that if he could build all these weapons and buildings and rise to the top level, even if the four demons were in the future, I am afraid it would be difficult to get benefits. After this upgrade of the construction system, Rhodes can not only build some magic buildings, but even some hero buildings. The latter is somewhat similar to the Templar in the game, where experienced NPCs can be promoted to a higher class, and hero buildings can be used to recruit and train a wide variety of military units, albeit expensive and expensive. Not only that, but each Hero Building needs to be managed by a qualified person, who is not something that can be found casually.

Of course, Rhodes also roughly calculated that it would cost at least a billion yuan to completely build and upgrade these buildings and weapons——— not including the follow-up maintenance costs.

So this can only be regarded as a beautiful fantasy for Rod.

All in all, let's do what we need to do first.

Turning his gaze off the dazzling list of weapons buildings, Rhodes raised an eyebrow slightly, then reached out and clicked on one of the patterns.

【Statue of the Holy Maiden (1) has been built, please choose to build or upgrade】

Seeing the prompt in front of him, Rod nodded, then he lowered his eyes, and soon, with Rode's movements, suddenly two golden pillars of light burst out from the ridges on the left and right sides of the fortress. Soaring into the sky, the bright and dazzling divine light echoed with the holy light emitted by the statue of the Holy Maiden in the fortress, and soon became one and merged. And in this pillar of light, gradually, two white statues of young girls emerged from it. They were like the statue of the Holy Maiden in the fortress, with their hands crossed around their chests, and their heads were raised to the sky in front of them.

"Hoo ....................."

Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod couldn't help but sigh, although it seemed to be an understatement, but at this moment, in Rhodes's eyes, a total of 600,000 gold coins had been lost at this moment and disappeared. That's 600,000 gold coins. A small and medium-sized chamber of commerce and aristocrats spent a lifetime with only this little savings, and now it is only less than two seconds to completely disappear. It really deserves to be a ruined artifact on the Dragon Soul Continent.

But............ And that's not all.

Thinking of this, Rhodes looked at the system information in front of him again.

[Statue of the Holy Maiden has been built (quantity 3), please choose to build or upgrade]

[The level of the Holy Maiden Statue is increased, Lv2 - 300,000 gold coins, Lv3 - 500,000 gold coins, it will cost 2.4 million gold coins to upgrade all the Holy Maiden statues to reach the top level, is it an increase? ] 】

See this line of system prompts in front of you. Rao is Rhodes was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help grinding his teeth. The name of the Holy Maiden Statue Artifact is really not in vain, and at this moment, its value has once again proudly proved to Rhodes that they are the best choice for nouveau riche to show off their wealth. There are three levels of Saint Maiden statues, and each icon costs 800,000 gold coins to upgrade from level 1 to level 3, and the two statues built by Rhodes at this moment, plus the total of three saint maiden statues he had before, cost 2.4 million gold coins to upgrade to the top level, and then count the 600,000 gold coins spent on building the other two saint maiden statues before. In the blink of an eye, three million gold coins went out. The Holy Soul is above, this is three million gold coins, even in the eyes of those wealthy businessmen and high-ranking nobles, it is definitely not something that can be passed by as soon as they raise their heads and close their eyes. Even in the construction system in front of Rod's eyes, the statue of the Holy Maiden is in the top three.

But the money still has to be spent.

Hoist!

Rod nodded vigorously. And with his movements, he saw that the light around him suddenly dimmed.

The light that had erupted on the statue of the Holy Maiden and rose to the sky began to dim at this time, and then, they began to slowly weaken from the dazzling and bright brilliance, and then the barrier of light that had originally covered the sky disappeared, and only countless small round balls of light surrounded these crystal statues.

Then, the statue of the Holy Maiden moved.

Their hands, which had been crossed around their chests, began to stretch forward, then to the sky, in a gesture of false grip. Immediately afterwards, I saw that the balls of light around the statue of the Holy Maiden began to gradually condense, as if they were attracted by something, they flew towards the palm of the statue of the Holy Maiden, and gradually condensed together, only to see those balls of light gradually merge, transform, and twist uncontrollably, ———and then they contracted suddenly, and countless light dust flew down from it, and at this moment, I saw that in the hand of the statue of the Holy Maiden, there was already an extra white spear.

At this moment, the pure white girl clenched the spear with both hands, raised her head, and pointed the tip of the spear at the sky.

The bright and dazzling white light was now completely gone, but anyone could feel that the air was full of sacredness, that holy, elegant and light aura was thus one with the earth, the water and the air in this territory, without distinguishing from each other.

It worked.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Rhodes nodded with satisfaction, although on the surface, the statues of the Holy Maiden after being promoted to the top level are not as conspicuous as before, but their effect is greatly enhanced, after being promoted to the top level, everything within the scope of the statue of the Holy Maiden will have divine attributes, and even the river water of the moat will become holy water. Of course, they are not as potent as the holy water in the church, but they are no different to sulfuric magma to the undead. Not only that, but after the upgrade, the scope of the Holy Maiden statues has been further expanded, and now they can even cover the entire Land of Atonement, as well as a part of Glen Bell Territory and Deep Rock City, even the territory that originally belonged to the undead in front of them. And any undead creatures, once they enter this area, then their strength will be immediately weakened, only the master peak to the legendary level, with their own rules and talent awakening existence can escape, other undead creatures. Regardless of the race, as long as they dare to enter it, then they will immediately receive the punishment of half of the weakened attributes, not only that, but the divine power will also erode their bodies from time to time, and those weaker undead creatures may even self-destruct before the battle begins, and be completely purified by the divine energy to the point that there is not even a scum left.

However, the most powerful weapon of the Holy Maiden is still the Holy Spear. This can be called the most powerful range attack spell among all sacred attribute weapons and spells, as a range of divine attack spirituality, the holy spear can destroy thousands of undead creatures at a time, the low-level troops of the undead legion are scum in front of its power, although the middle-level troops can resist but will be seriously damaged, and the high-level troops will not suffer much damage, but they can also dodge this spiritual art, unless it is a strong person at the peak of the legend, otherwise it is simply wishful thinking to resist this spell head-on. And as an artifact. The energy of the statue of the Holy Maiden is almost endless, and its power comes from the divine order of light, which means that as long as the statue is still under the protection of the dragon soul of light, then its power is endless.

Of course, if there are any shortcomings of the Holy Maiden Statue, it is only its effect is only effective against the undead and the Holy Spear needs to be charged, but this is also the reason why Rhodes will make great efforts to build three Holy Maiden statues at such a high price——— with these three Holy Maiden statues, at least the Holy Spear can be released without fear of being interrupted.

But that's not enough.

Rhodes briefly admired the statue of the Holy Maiden after being promoted to the top level, and then withdrew his gaze. As mentioned before, as a border city. Rod's arrangement is actually not enough, and he does not even have a formal system of defending the city at hand. The previous ability to defeat the undead legion was more because it was unprepared, plus the undead legion was a surprise attack rather than a siege at that time, and it was not complete in terms of military equipment, in this regard, the two sides can be said to be half a catty, but Rhodes's side still relied on the strength of a little bubblegum and canary to get the other party. But this is not a long-term solution after all, and for any border fortress, a systematic defense is necessary.

As for how to build a complete defense system, Rhodes already has a plan.

He reached out and swiped across the panel in front of him. Soon, several familiar names appeared in his eyes.

[Core Building: Fountain of Mana (The tide of mana flows under the earth), construction price: 50,000 gold coins]

[Magic Building: Ring Tower (The Supreme Ring is the symbol of all things in this sky), construction price: 150,000 gold coins]

The Fountain of Mana is the core power of all magical fortresses, which can condense the magic power in the territory and supply it to equipment, buildings, weapons, and enchantments that need magical support in the fortress. It can be called the power core of the fortress, Rhodes didn't have this thing before, and he didn't have the idea of buying it, the reason is that the manufacturing skills of the Fountain of Magic are basically in the hands of the Royal Mage Association and various mage organizations, and they are never bought and sold to the outside world. If Rhodes wants to rely on them to build the Fountain of Magic, then he has to give the other party a little sweetness, and the Fountain of Magic is the power core of the fortress, and Rhodes is not at ease to be built and controlled by outsiders. In addition, even if it is handed over to them to manufacture, it will be a long time, and just finding the condensation point of the magic center is not a project that can be completed in a year or two.

It would be nice if it didn't cost anything.........

If the Fountain of Magic is the core of power, then the Mage Tower is the stabilizer and the controller. Powerful mages will distribute and use the amount of power that spreads from the fountain of magic on their own mage towers, assigning them to where they should be useful, as needed. In wartime, they can also use the interaction of the Mage Tower and the Fountain of Mana to unleash large guardian enchantments and attack spells to repel enemies.

Of course, this is just the beginning, a computer can't only have hardware and an operating system, and it is meaningless if it doesn't have software. But now for Ruder Finn, the most important thing is to install the hardware and get the system right first, and the rest can be delayed later.

Rod was quick to make a decision.

Build the Fountain of Magic, the Tower of the Ring of Law, increase the reinforcement level of the wall to Lv3, and build the Silver Tower.

The earth began to tremble slightly.

The fortress began to swell and twist, which was a very strange feeling. Rhodes could see that the wall under his feet began to stretch to both sides, until it reached the peak next to him, and at his feet, the wall that was originally more than three meters wide had now expanded to five meters like fermented bread, and the height was gradually rising. The originally flat surface began to show a wide and flat staircase in layers, and he could even see the battlements in front of him gradually rising. The underneath is twisted to create a circular observation hole and a shooting hole. The tall, smooth cross-shaped platforms of the Silver Tower are intertwined to form a stable defensive net. But the incredible thing is that he is in the midst of these changes, but Rhodes feels that his feet are unusually stable, if he closes his eyes, I am afraid that he will not feel anything, only that everything is normal to the point that it can no longer be normal.

Rhodes shook his head, and then he looked to the other side——— in a clearing within the city walls, where a pool-like structure was emerging from the ground. It rises like a tall fountain, and then you can see a blue "spring" gushing down from the middle——— which is the power of magic.

The pitch-black tower twists into shape.

The huge towers silently began to rise towards the center of the Fountain of Magic, and the walls that had been extremely hard looked like soft clay, and they merged with the round towers in front of them, and soon formed a circular spire tower that was six or seven stories high, and at the same time, a series of magical flickering light flashed through the dark tower, transforming into a series of gorgeous. Complicated runes, and when these magical runes appear. I saw that the original black surface of the tower began to shatter, and then, the black surface disappeared like a broken eggshell, and was replaced by a white, flawless and gorgeous appearance, which stood quietly in a corner of the fortress. The high platform suspended in the air is connected by a silver-white suspension ladder, extending in a ring to the bottom of the coffin, like a vine winding and stretching. And at the top of the tower, a round gem that shone with multicolored magic was quietly suspended there, and a faint magic ring slowly rotated around it. It brings a bit of mystery to the magic tower in front of you.

"Hoo ..............."

Rhodes sighed, compared to before, this time the cost was much less, the Fountain of Magic cost him a total of 180,000 gold coins to upgrade to the third level, and the Tour of Law Tower was 300,000, and it didn't cost much to strengthen and extend the city wall, only 50,000 gold coins. In fact, Rhodes has long discovered that everything in the construction system is much cheaper than in reality. It's like the Fountain of Magic Power, if he asks those mage organizations to make it for himself on the Dragon Soul Continent, I'm afraid the lowest price will start at 500,000 gold coins, and it will only cost 180,000 to upgrade to the third level here. It seems that in the system, only the cost of raw materials and manufacturing is calculated, but the majority of labor and transportation are cut.

But that's where the big thing comes next.

"Captain, you don't want to rely on these things alone to protect the fortress."

"Of course not."

Rod shook his head at Little Bubblegum's inquiry.

"Our biggest problem now is the lack of firepower, you alone are not enough, and those mercenaries are not enough, we must have more and more firepower to help us defend the fortress!"

"Hey.................. Well? ”

Hearing Rod's words, the little bubblegum instinctively responded, but at the end, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at the construction panel in front of Rod, and her eyes flashed with disbelief.

"Hey, wait, Captain, don't you want ..................!!"

"Of course."

The corners of Rod's mouth turned up slightly, and a smug smile appeared on his face, and at this moment, a line of systematic text appeared in front of Rod.

[Weapon: Medium-range magic cannon (this angry blow is unstoppable), Lv1, price: 50,000 gold coins]

【Quantity: 100 Doors】

The originally solid and smooth city wall began to transform, and the square-shaped cannon muzzles took shape in it, and the huge cannon body forged from pure gold and steel emitted white steam and roared out, and the steel winches taller than a human couldn't stop rotating, and the spiked iron armor in front of them was thick and carved with decorative patterns gradually unfolded, ejecting the cannon body several meters long from the city wall and aiming ahead. In the blink of an eye, a hundred magic cannons formed two straight rows of staggered and separated in the thick walls of the fortress in front of them, and even above the watchtower, there were dozens of black holes aiming at the sky and the earth, and the sound of the cannons forged with pure gold and steel shone in the moonlight with a cold, inorganic cold light, for a while, from a distance, the entire fortress was like a monster with teeth and claws, which was terrifying.

"Thicker armor, more firepower, more quantity, that's the essence of my multi-turret cult."

Standing on the city wall, Rhodes looked at the almost vicious turret in front of him and snapped his fingers triumphantly.

"It's a pity, if it weren't for the lack of money, I would have really wished I had three or five hundred magic cannons here......... By that time..............."

"Cut, it's boring, what's the use of asking for so many turrets."

In the face of Rod's words, little bubblegum snorted disdainfully.

"Leader, you really eat too much salty tofu brain."

Hearing the little bubble gum's response, Rod turned his head expressionlessly and glanced at the girl quickly.

"RPG Sweet Party Cult Self-Respect."

"Hmph."

Little Bubblegum didn't say anything more, she just snorted coldly. And Rod shrugged his shoulders as well.

"Okay, okay, you two, don't do this........."

Facing these two people, the canary smiled helplessly.

"As long as it's useful, it's fine, isn't it? Even a multi-turret sweet party is not bad. ”

"Heresy!"

The canary didn't expect that just as she spoke, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and interrupted her in unison, and then, the two looked at each other and turned to leave.

"Haaa.................."

Facing the backs of the two, the canary was slightly stunned, and then she shook her head with a helpless wry smile.

It seems that these two people have really not changed at all. (To be continued......)
