216 Crossroads Fortress II
The curtain of the era of Wudong City's surging winds has been opened, but Chen Yan has settled down far away from the center of the vortex and has managed his own territory safely.
In addition to chatting with Arribes at a fixed time every day, I can exchange information while having fun. Most of the time Chen Yan focused on castle construction and territory planning.
No matter how many people died in the plague in Winter City or Arthur collected more fragments of silver swords, he ignored them.
Because Chen Yan knew very well that unless he could use legendary spells unscrupulously on this continent, it would be really difficult for one person to change the direction of a war - can he not hide if he can't beat him? Can't he find a way to restrain him?
What's more, if a person is so good, the gods will come down to talk to him. Boy, do you have any ideas about the gods so well? Of course, no one will talk to him like this when it comes to Shen Yan, but the gods will also collectively tacitly block his way forward... The Son of God is the most annoying.
In short, it is the most correct way to hold an army in your hand and a fortress in your hand.
Advance can attack, retreat... you can attack in another direction!
This is how this era opened up.
The vassals' loyalty to the lords is a universal rule recognized by this era.
But due to the principle of darkness under the lamp, everyone seemed to have overlooked an important issue. The Erbis brothers and sisters had never been loyal to Lord Nasher - because Erbis's aristocratic identity was a theocratic noble, and Chen Yan... His aristocratic identity was bought. He used money all the way and had never even exposed his face. Even Nasher had collected a lot of money.
The lords of Shenshui and Wudong, who were surrendered by money, both felt that this was too embarrassing and counted the money silently, not wanting to make a statement.
****
The fortress is being built very quickly.
The clerk sent by Nasher to supervise felt that he was mixed with sorrow and joy. The work assigned by the sad Lord Nasher was basically aborted. Chen Yan did spend a lot of money and spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
But these orders are monopolized by the "big three". The richest woman contracts materials, manpower, legendary magicians underwritten high-end magic products, and the nobles on the man provide daily necessities, so there is no room for Winter City to intervene!
It is impossible to squeeze through other means. In terms of power, each of these three people is no worse than Nasher.
What’s good is that Chen Yan’s purpose of spending money was achieved. Today, when Shen Yan’s “Taocente” store closed down, there is no longer income. Every cent he spent is net expenditure, and his wealth is facing a sharp dive. Although there is a territory, how much is the income from the territory in the agricultural society?
What's more, it's still a wasteland now, and the number of people in charge is less than one-tenth of what it should be. Even the early reclamation of land has not even begun, and he has devoted himself to preparing for the war... and the income is even more and more in the future.
What’s even more gratifying is that the fortress is being formed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The exterior wall has been completed, with a "sandwich biscuit" double-layer guardrail with a span of twenty meters!
The clerk said in a report to Nasher that he believed that once the castle was completed and had sufficient mandate to garrison, it would be difficult for Luscan to conquer the place even if he sent tens of thousands of troops... This made Nasher slightly uneasy.
In fact, not only Nasher, but also the legendary magician and male nobleman found it very difficult after visiting.
Chen Yan mixed with the dust of demon-hazard gold in the stone bricks on the wall. This material comes from the wizard world and is a good material for forbidding and anti-demon material, which can greatly improve the magic resistance effect of the exterior wall and foundation.
Unless you use the magic of violent demolition such as "Meteor Blast", you can't imagine any way to deal with such a city wall that is several meters thick! A wall with a slope, hard outside and soft inside, both hard and tough, you can imagine that the chance of catapulting is completely ineffective.
The black "probes" and dwarf steam machinery hidden inside the wall make people frown... Although they don't understand, they look terrible.
The entire fortress can be said to be good, but the appearance is a bit... ugly!
Unlike the traditional castle with mainstream walls, castles and spires intersecting, Chen Yan's castle is completely a big "star" with small "stars", which makes people dizzy. The overall appearance is low and thick, with all the internal facilities, but there is no building higher than ten meters. It looks a bit like... a tortoise shell, and living inside will indeed give people a very safe feeling.
The core main castle is not located in the heartland like traditionally, but is built on important exterior wall support nodes. If a team of archers is arranged here, it will be enough to support the city wall covering three-quarters.
The support weapon Chen Yan arranged in the main castle is - the Dwarf Steam Powered Heavy Machine Gun!
Four-two warhead! The prefabricated bullet link can circle the city wall for two and a half weeks! The steel storm will shoot whoever touches and dies!
Since Chen Yan used alchemy to light up the "fire hat" and "piston" technology, Milkan's dwarfs have been gone on the Musket Avenue forever. By the time he returned in twelve years, various steam guns have become popular in Milkan.
The steam heavy machine gun with a weight of five and a half tons made Chen Yan love him to death!
He bought ten units in one go! He also hired a team of dwarf technicians to help with maintenance.
You should know that the things made by dwarfs are big, hard, durable, and full of power! After all, water-cooled hand-cranked Gatlin is nothing, steam power is the romance of men!
The black probe is a by-product of the reverse engineering of the ancient battery cannon. It can release directional lightning beams and fork-shaped lightning to remove enemies whose physical resistance is too high to be destroyed by the projectile, such as ghosts.
The female legendary wizard and other bigwigs praised the castle, saying that although the fortress looked bad, it was really safe to live in! It was completely in line with its position as a fortress, and it could even make Lu Skan retreat when he saw it.
Chen Yanxin said that this is nothing, it’s just a machine gun + a bastion. Nowadays, novices with a little common sense in society know it.
The bastion itself is a conceptual problem, and there is no difficulty in designing it. It is nothing more than troublesome when designing crossfire... But the fortress at the intersection is between two mountains, so he can actually focus on two directions.
****
When the main structure of the castle was completed, Chen Yan withdrew all the workers.
That night, the white-robed mage Gandalf made his debut again through a portal. After knocking and checking in the castle, he activated the exclusive magic of the fortress, the Eighth Ring Spell "Block" that had been arranged at the beginning of the design.
When Chen Yan was able to use the Nine-ring spell, he immediately exchanged the [Spell Analysis Site (7-9)] part through the portal, and then began to analyze the first magic that was "block curtain". He felt that this spell that distorted and transformed the environment had very important strategic value.
The intersection fortress is the first manifestation of this value.
After a night, the people who woke up in the morning were stunned. The place that once was the fortress turned into a complex built along the mountain. Although the main castle has not disappeared, it is located at the back of the complex. As for the buildings in front, it looks familiar.
Looking at the design of the room on the left stable and right, it is clearly a hotel that can accommodate hundreds of people...
Where did the fortress go?
There are many magicians active at the intersection now. They were surprised and guessed something, so they used magic to test it, either to enhance their ability to see through the truth or try to remove the illusion around them.
But no matter how hard they try, the surrounding environment has never changed at all, just as if it is real!
They pushed the door and walked into any room, and found that there were all tables, chairs, and benches, which were not only useful or even destroyed. Some of them also had inscriptions from the store, which were obviously the goods they bought a lot some time ago.
Did the castle be considered at the beginning of its design, and bought two copies of everything? Or did it be for one thing and two?
They firmly believe that there must be a "cago in the "watch hotel", but no matter how hard they try, they can't find it! Even when the legendary magician comes, he frowned...
If it weren't for the castle they had watched with their own eyes build it, they would even wonder if the fortress had actually existed.
Of course, it has existed... only half of it is hidden in the secondary plane and can be exchanged with the main plane at any time.
The combination of "block curtain" and "luxury house technique" has amazing effect and can be said to have deceived everyone's eyes.
What kind of fortress? Where did the fortress come from? I am just a hotel here.
Shen Yanzhi proudly raised a stone tablet in the most conspicuous position of the intersection, which was engraved with "Cross Slope (crossing off) intersection hotel".
Official business.
