Chapter 5: Nightfall (V)

Armond was not wrong at all, because Rod intended to do just that.

After Bennie of the War Angel Legion explained to him, this idea involuntarily emerged in Rhodes's heart, in fact, there are many things he lacks now, such as manpower, although there are many troops stationed in the fortress at the moment, but Rhodes also knows very well that if the war in other places is more tense than here, then they will leave, and the reason why Lydia sent the magic guide fleet here is the same, they are responsible for defense on the one hand, On the other hand, the job is to turn into troop carriers when necessary to transport soldiers to where they are needed more, and Rhodes knows that war is like this, and he is only a small lord at the moment, and it is a fantasy to expect Lydia to give him command and transfer or something.

Therefore, in the end, you still have to rely on your own strength.

But the soldier didn't fall from the sky, the summoning door in Rhodes' current hand can only lead to the water elemental realm, and it is simply delusional to expect those sea elves to fight with the undead army, if he has a summoning door to the Star Spirit Hall or the steel land in his hand, maybe it would be better, at least he can summon something enough to fight the undead army, but now, he doesn't have these in his hand, so he can only think about it.

But the soldiers did not fall from the sky, and there are only more than 3,000 soldiers in Rhodes' hands now, so it can be seen how difficult it is to recruit soldiers, and in this respect it is much easier for the undead army, and when you go to any battlefield or cemetery to beckon, a large group will immediately rush up to respond, and they don't care about the treatment at all, and they won't complain and be on standby, it's really the best army.

Since it is not possible to increase the quantity. In terms of quality, since it can't rely on enough manpower, then use equipment to make up for it, which is the only way that Rhodes can come up with at the moment. It's a pity that this is really not the game world now, otherwise it would be much more comfortable to find a group of players to sweep over from behind and fight guerrilla warfare in the Night Country.

In fact, Rhodes asked for these things quite a bit of a lion's mouth, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with that. And in fact, when he put forward his idea, Marlene's face turned white with fright, in her opinion, Rod's move was completely disrespectful to the entire Moon royal family, but in Rod's opinion, it was nothing, and it was a matter of course for the player to reach the cult and receive the power reward, so when Beni first spoke, the player's thinking in Rod's mind was online in an instant, anyway, Lydia still owed herself a wish before, she was not able to cure Christie, He also personally told Rhodes that he would keep this wish, and now even if he uses it here, it is nothing.

Of course. In the eyes of ordinary people, exchanging that desire for a bunch of wealth is simply a vulgar and stupid performance, but Rhodes does not see it that way, because what he lacks most at the moment is money, and the reason is simple——— after the previous World War, the construction system has been upgraded again.

For Rod, this is a story full of blood and tears.

His previous idea was to gain experience by destroying the undead army, and the fact that he had won two consecutive victories gave Rhodes confidence that there were no players in the group. No one equals his experience, and Tiny Bubblegum and Canary are not equipped though. But after all, they are all full level, and naturally there is no need for experience, but Rod has missed a person.

The Heart of Blanc.

As the only existence on the battlefield that can be upgraded, Bilan's heart has naturally learned a lot of experience, although it is not much compared to the experience obtained by Rhodes in the later stage. But she started all over again from the first level, and naturally leveled up quickly. As a result, after the battle was over, Bilan's Heart was directly upgraded from the lowest level to level thirty-five, and jumped into the late stage of the elite peak, but the Demon Bachelor was not a combat profession like a mage or a swordsman. So most people don't notice anything. But for Rod, this is a living tragedy.

After examining his experience, he found that he was still 1500 points of experience before he could be promoted to level 60, which made Rod feel dark, although it is fair to say that this battle has gained a lot, but for Rod, seeing that this is only 1500 points of experience is almost making him vomit blood, 1500 points of experience is not much, that is, an abomination experience, but now that the undead army has fully retreated, where are you going to find an abomination to cut?

In the end, Rod had no choice but to choose another victim——— that is necromancer Simon who was imprisoned in the dungeon.

Speaking of this guy, this guy is really unlucky, in fact, its fate should not be so miserable, Rhodes has always hoped to have a necromantic subordinate to help, although in this world, the human beings in this world are no different from demons, but they have to admit that they have their own unique talent when doing some crazy things. What's more, with its soul core in hand, Rhodes is not afraid of what this guy will do to him, so he can barely survive in the dungeon in Simon, but now............ For the sake of his 1,500 points of experience, Rhodes had to do it.

The poor necromancer was finally destroyed in the hands of Rhodes, and even the ashes were used as experience, which is really not a tragic fate.

After killing Simon, Rhodes finally barely passed the level, relying on 2000 points of experience to break through the level 60 mark, and from now on, he has truly stepped into the legendary realm. However, due to the need to clean up the aftermath after the battle, Rod did not have time to spare time to select the points of talent and swordsmanship, but in addition to this, he got a surprise——— that is the system prompted him to ———upgrade the construction system.

And it is precisely because of reading the upgrade tips of the construction system that Rod will make this choice.

After the upgraded construction system, a large part of the reinforcement and upgrading of the walls, fortresses and pillboxes was done, but these were not important, but the important thing was that Rhodes found that there was a defensive weapon unlocked in the upgraded fortress——— and that was the magic cannon.

The magic cannon is the most common defensive weapon in the entire Dragon Soul Continent, and many large and medium-sized cities and fortresses have magic cannons, but because the magic cannon is expensive and the construction period is long, most of the fortresses are mainly based on the magic cannon, supplemented by ballistas. Coupled with archers and mages to defend, this is a qualified and complete defense system. From this point of view, Rod's fortress is still quite incomplete, and when he faced the undead army before, he did not have magic guide cannons in his hands, and even ballistas only had a pitiful few. The rest are the archers. If it weren't for the canary and the little bubblegum in. I'm afraid he won't be able to win so easily.

But this world is different from the earth, although the magic technology industry is very developed, but it has not invented anything like the mobile artillery of the Anthropocene world, Rhodes also asked Marlene about it curiously, and then learned that the structure of these magic cannons is complicated, and it is difficult to move after installation. Generally speaking, it takes at least half a year to assemble a magic cannon, which depends on the model and caliber, if the more powerful magic cannon takes longer to assemble, and some even take more than ten years to complete. Moreover, the Magic Guide Cannon cannot be moved after it has been assembled. Although it is not impossible to install wheels underneath, but there is no rubber in this world, and those wooden wheels will bring much damage to the magic cannon when they move on the bumpy ground. Unless it's a relatively calm environment like a floating ship, it's a terrible idea to use the magic cannon directly on the battlefield. So now in siege warfare, it is basically the caster who shoots, and the primitive equipment of the trebuchet is of little significance to all parties. Because a full-fledged fortress has enchantments to protect against ranged weapons, especially in this age of magic. There are ways to get rid of the rudimentary siege tools.

Hearing this, Rhodes could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, originally he planned to use the magic cannon as the basis to get a tank or something, but now it seems that this is unlikely.

But for now, that's a good thing for Rhodes.

There are three biggest problems with the construction of magic cannons, which are expensive to build. Long manufacturing times and difficulties in the supply of raw materials. But this is not a problem in Rhodes's eyes at all, it is expensive......... Of course, this can't be helped, he has no money, but it doesn't mean that the Duchy of Moon has no money, and Her Royal Highness Lydia has no money. Those are the masters of the rich country, as long as they are willing to pay for it, what can't they make themselves?

It's not a problem that it takes a long time to make, although until now Rhodes doesn't know how his system works in this world, but it can be seen that the effect is good, not to mention anything else, this fortress of the Land of Atonement, even if it is built by the method of a mage, it will take years to complete, not to mention the statue of the Holy Maiden, the existence of this kind of artifact is more difficult and cumbersome to manufacture, but here he only needs to spend money, and then be responsible for clicking to confirm, everything is created in this way. Of course, there may be times when you need some raw materials such as magic crystals, but overall, this is much faster than normal construction.

The magic cannon is driven by magic power, and the magic itself comes from the fountain of magic power, the building location of each fortress will take this into account, choose a place where the magic condenses, in fact, the place of atonement is the same, this is close to the junction of the two dragon souls, the huge magic tide has been surging under the earth, originally Rhodes planned to establish a magic fountain here, because it can not only supply the magic cannon with infinite power, but also allow people with mage talent to awaken their own power, It's also a good idea to create a team of mages. It's impossible to always let the canaries go up to the top of the post every time, and the people behind are just standing there stupidly watching the excitement——— even the boss battle has summoned mobs.

It is precisely with this idea that Rhodes will ask for two sets of artifact equipment by the way, the injury of the canary before made him a little embarrassed, indeed, no matter how powerful the player is, in addition to the skill, consciousness and talent itself, the equipment is also an essential part, and he let the canary wear a level forty suit to resist the seventy-fifth level peak spell, unless she herself is a hidden race, otherwise no matter how high the magic resistance is, it is not enough to see.

However, Rod also knows that he is restrained, although he says that he wants to, but he only borrows it. Although these two sets of god costumes are already extraordinary in the eyes of ordinary people, they are still so poor in the eyes of players, thinking that the "Holy Storm" suit of the little bubblegum and the "Infinite Element Guard" of the canary in the game are supreme, making countless players crazy about the existence, of course, these two sets of equipment are also the equipment that these two people spent a lot of time and obtained after completing a series of difficult and perverted mission tests.

But for them now, it's good to have some uses.

After the arrival of the War Angel Legion, the entire fortress entered a rare period of peace and tranquility, and at this time, Rhodes finally had time to relax and think carefully about his "great cause of upgrading". (To be continued......)
