"Let's go in and take a look!" Roland ordered everyone.
"Boom~" The heavy steel door was pushed open by several people together, and the huge door hinge made an extremely harsh friction sound.
"We should dig a moat here!" Roland pointed to the ground under his feet. Indeed, if there was a moat surrounding the fortress, the entire fortress would be even more impregnable.
"We don't have enough manpower to undertake such a project." Renault sighed.
"Alas..." Roland sighed helplessly. Indeed, now he had no choice but to give up this unrealistic idea.
"Let's arrange for the soldiers to be stationed there. Renault, let's go for a walk." Roland sighed as he looked at the fortress wall that was a hundred meters high.
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
Sure enough, on the system's territory page, in addition to River Rapids City and Tuput Forest, Roland saw a third icon—Lulong Fortress! It seemed that the system counted it as a separate territory of Roland.
After clicking on the Lulong Fortress, Roland was surprised to find that the page was empty except for 500 soldiers...
"System, why is there nothing in Lulong Fortress?" Roland asked silently in his heart.
"The Lulong Fortress is currently in its initial form. The host needs to build various additional buildings himself." The system said coldly, then popped up a building option for Roland:
Falling Dragon Tower: 100,000 Wealth. This massive dual-purpose air-to-ground weapon is enough to make dragons bow down and detour! (Effective when used with magic arrows!)
Heavy Dragon Hunting Tower: 20,000 Wealth. Excellent damage against dragons! (Use special arrows like Black Arrows for even greater damage!)
Medium Dragon Hunting Tower: 10,000 Wealth. Can deal a fatal blow to most dragons! (Can use special arrows like Black Arrows to increase power!)
Light Dragon Hunting Tower: 5000 Wealth. Effectively repels dragons and blocks dragon attacks, offering excellent value for money! (Paired with special arrows like the Black Arrow, it has a chance to inflict fatal damage to flying dragons!)
Advanced Arrow Tower/Crossbow Tower: 5000 Wealth. Wider field of view, stronger defense, and excellent anti-air capabilities! (Archer units stationed here will gain enhanced field of view, range, and power!)
Intermediate Arrow Tower/Crossbow Tower: 3000 Wealth. Good vision, adequate defense, and average air defense! (Archers stationed here gain enhanced vision and range!)
Primary Arrow Tower/Crossbow Tower: 1000 Wealth. Improves vision, low defense, and allows anti-aircraft fire! (Archer units stationed inside will have enhanced vision!)
Pitfalls: 10 Wealth. A cheap, reusable defense. No ground unit can withstand these spikes! (Any unit that steps on them will fall through and be impaled!)
Ejection Trap: 1 Wealth. Don't underestimate these little one-square-meter gadgets. They easily deflect units that step on them, making them a formidable threat to enemy formations. They can be reused (easily breaking enemy formations and creating counterattack windows!).
Hidden Crossbow: 1 Wealth. Hidden in the bricks of a city wall, it pops open to rapidly unleash 10 crossbows forward! Holds 100 rounds, with a 5-minute reload time! (To maximize the effectiveness of these unpredictable creatures, you'll need to keep an eye on their supply of arrows!)
Heavy City Defense Crossbow: 10,000 Wealth. A nightmare for attackers, even effective against low-flying air units. Paired with various special crossbows, it's powerful enough to shatter any siege weapon! (Even a Dragon Knight wouldn't want to be hit by one.)
Roland knew about this thing. After all, there were 12 of them installed in Jiliu City, and they were made of dragon tendons given by the system when signing in.
Medium City Defense Crossbow: 5000 Wealth. A heavy unit terminator, it can threaten most low-flying air knights. Using any crossbow, it can terminate any heavily armored unit, and has a chance to damage siege equipment! (Knights will have to avoid it!)
Light City Defense Crossbow: 1000 Wealth. A killer of infantry, capable of shooting down low-flying units. No light infantryman wants to face this! (Are you eating human flesh skewers? The kind that come with three skewers?)
Blade Cart: 500 Wealth. A defensive device inlaid with hundreds of razor-sharp double-edged steel swords, capable of blocking city gates! (Hey! Don't think everything's over just because you've breached the city gates. I'm still here for you!)
Arrow Crusher: 1000 Wealth. This arrow can be fired at a specific area of air, clearing a 10-meter diameter circle of air. Arrows that land on the ground deal damage to nearby units. (Shooting is ineffective!)
"Nice stuff!" Roland was instantly tempted by this. Isn't this the magical weapon used by dwarves in the movie to block the rain of elves' arrows? And it also has a second landing damage!
Blade Roller: 1000 Wealth. Throw it from the wall to clean out enemies clinging to it! Reusable! (Scrub! Scrub!)
…
The subsequent flurry of miscellaneous gadgets left Roland completely speechless. What a warmonger! There wasn't a single item in this thing that wasn't related to war. Wow! It was truly built for war. Roland swears on his own head that if he fully staffed the Lulong Fortress with a hundred thousand troops and built all the necessary defenses, and if Sauron led the entire Dark Faction of Middle-earth to attack this thing, it would have to cry and return to Mordor.
But for now, Roland could only drool. He preferred not to show off his pitiful wealth; it would be embarrassing. Besides, there was really no need to build so much city defense equipment in the current situation. Even if it was built, there wouldn't be enough soldiers to operate it. Just look at the soldiers Roland brought: 100 Lagran guards, 400 Badaniyan archers, and 500 professional soldiers could only barely operate the eight Falling Dragon Towers and barely patrol the city walls. The remaining hundred-plus arrow towers were still empty. In this situation, all that city defense equipment was completely useless.
"Your Highness, a messenger from Jiliu City requests to see you!" Suddenly a soldier came to report.
"Let him come to see me!" Roland leaned against the breastwork and looked outside the city.
"Your Highness! This is a letter given to you by His Highness Nix! Please take a look!" The visitor was a Cross Bauhinia Knight. His silver-white armor and lavender cloak with white edges gave people an inexplicable sense of security.
"Let me see what happened. Nyx actually sent a knight to deliver the letter." Roland curiously opened the sealing wax.
"Your dear highness, a farmer in our northern farmland has unearthed dragon scales. According to the deduction of the wise man Yunfeng, there may be the remains of a silver dragon with spatial attributes buried underneath. Please return soon!" Nix's beautiful small handwriting on the letter caught her eye.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Renault's face changed, thinking that war was about to start again.
"It's okay. There may be the remains of a silver dragon buried in our land. We have to go back. The dragon crystal with spatial attributes is a priceless treasure!" Roland exclaimed.
"Then I will give orders to the soldiers, and then go to assemble the knights and set off!" Renault said with a serious face.
"Well, let's go!" Roland nodded and took the lead to walk towards the city to prepare the horses.
