Chapter 449: Building Hardened Roads to Respond to Invasion of Heroes

In the Wasteland Territory.

As Lilith led the Flame Mage Corps away.

The only hero left in the territory was Heidi.

She now commands the territory's Royal Guards.

Under her are two orange legions, the Champion Heavy Armor and Sword and Shield Guards, produced by the Plantagenet Frontier Territory.

The main responsibility of these two legions is to protect the Mirkwood from infiltration, with the main city as the center.

So a large number of soldiers are needed.

Until now, the number of these two legions is still expanding.

But even so.

Facing the long border of the Mirkwood.

The number of people still seems insufficient.

At this time, Heidi saw Fang Yuan temporarily put down the things in his hands.

She stepped forward and said.

"My Lord."

"There is something I need to report to you."

Fang Yuan raised his head, slightly surprised.

Then he asked.

"What is it?"

Heidi said after thinking for a while.

"Recently, some heroes from other lords have appeared in the territory."

"They are very good at hiding."

"There were even several times when they broke through the outer defense line and reached the Griffin Castle."

Fang Yuan was surprised when he heard the news.

"Griffin Castle!"

With the expansion of his territory.

The current Griffin Castle is already considered the inner line, not the border before.

Being able to break through the heavy defense and lurk here.

This is really amazing.

"Did you catch them?"

Heidi shook her head.

"After being discovered by the patrolling Griffin Knights, they were driven away."

"I sent people to follow them and try to find their hiding place."

"But they lost them halfway."

"For this, a Sword and Shield Guard died."

Hearing the news, Fang Yuan opened the Lord's Seal and searched the battle report system.

After a long time.

Finally, among the large number of battle reports, he found the battle report of the Sword and Shield Guard's death.

"Ding, your sword and shield guards were ambushed and died."

It was a very simple battle report, without any reference information.

At this time, Heidi continued.

"After that, I added patrol guards in this direction."

"But."

"It still didn't work. These people can still enter our territory at will."

"Later, I went to intercept them in person."

"These heroes who came here disappeared without a trace again."

"They seemed to know our existence in advance and avoid us in advance."

"I have never encountered such a strange opponent."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

"What is their purpose in doing this?"

"Could it be the lord who has plots against my godhood like before?"

Heidi shook her head, indicating that she was not sure.

Fang Yuan paced back and forth in the hall.

Then he opened the lord's seal.

"It seems that we have to start building hardened roads in the territory."

"Without hardened roads, the territory is still not safe after all."

"With hardened roads, patrol soldiers can be stationed on them."

"With the sentry towers on the roads, they can also detect intruders."

"With the assistance of this building, this risk can be reduced."

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan opened the building panel on the lord's mark.

Found the hardened road option.

This building occupies one building position every 500 kilometers. Marching on the hardened road can increase the speed and vision by 50%, and there is no need to worry about being eroded by fog.

Generally, lords build roads mainly to dispel fog.

Because the cost of construction is not too high, but after the fog is dispelled, it is often demolished.

Because the cost of maintaining the road in the later stage is high.

As for the reason, it is not complicated. First, the lords' territories are relatively large.

To maintain such a large territory, the hardened roads required are not one or two hundred kilometers.

The communication between various territories, the winding roads.

If all these are calculated, if they really need to be repaired, it will easily be tens of thousands of kilometers.

At the same time, roads in the wild are particularly easy to be damaged, and their durability is not high.

And because of the erosion of fog, the durability will automatically decrease every time.

So basically, a lot of resources need to be invested in maintenance after a period of time.

Therefore, even if many lords upgrade their main cities to level nine.

But they rarely keep a large number of hardened roads.

At most, they will build a part in the main territory to maintain the safety of the territory.

But this situation of other lords does not apply to Fang Yuan.

Because he has obtained the godhood, he also has many powerful enemies.

These people are always thinking about spying on the intelligence of his territory.

And it is impossible for him to send a million troops to station in the territory to drive out these spies.

Doing so would not only be a waste of manpower.

It would also limit the development of his territory.

So a relatively cheap and affordable building like hardened roads would be more suitable for him.

And he had a rigid need for this building.

Fang Yuan looked at the map of the building and began to think about how to trim the roads in the territory.

He moved his eyes to the west of the territory.

There were eight purple resource territories and a large canyon there.

It stands to reason that there was no need to trim them, as the large canyon created by the forbidden spell was enough to ensure the safety of the territory.

But this was only in theory.

If the enemy was willing, it would not be difficult to send flying units across the canyon.

So these eight resource territories had to build roads.

Use roads to replace the big bonfires on the previous patrol routes.

In this way, he would not have to go to the Adventure Association to buy big bonfire buildings to maintain the patrol routes.

After all, the big bonfires were too easy to be destroyed.

And the erosion of the fog was everywhere.

So to solve the problem from the root, the only option was hardened roads.

Fang Yuan began to lay the hardened road along the patrol route laid by the big bonfire.

First, the roads of the eight resource points were fan-shaped and connected to the Griffin Castle.

Then the eight resource points were connected one by one with the road.

It was like a huge fan, wrapping the territory in the west.

At the same time, in order to send the garrisoned legion to the canyon.

Fang Yuan also drew a thin line along the canyon.

Along the thin line, build hardened roads.

Then connect the roads from each resource point to the road on the edge of the canyon.

"To the west, eight vertical lines and two horizontal lines."

"From the border of the Endless Mountains in the north to the border of the Mirkwood in the south."

"The total length of the planned roads here is 2,000 kilometers."

"Not too long, but not short either."

Then Fang Yuan moved his gaze to the southern border of the Mirkwood.

"According to Heidi's information, that is the main breakthrough point for spies."

"Then build a road from the southern purple resource territory to the undead territory."

"This road is built along the edge of the dark forest."

"The total length is about 300 kilometers."

"Then build a road from the Griffin Castle to the undead territory, with a total length of about 200 kilometers."

"Use the hardened road to build a triangle between the undead territory and the southern purple resource territory."

"Deploy patrol corps on the edge of the triangle. As long as the enemy crosses the road in the south, they will be discovered. Then, just quickly dispatch corps from all sides, deploy them on the road, and then send corps into the triangle to strangle them."

Fang Yuan looked at the marked points on the map.

"The west and southwest are about the same."

"Then the south and southeast."

"The south mainly relies on the Undead Territory."

"You can extend a line from the Undead Territory and directly pave it to the Green Sea Alliance."

"This route is not too long, about a hundred kilometers."

"Wait until we take over the northern defense line in the future, and then pave a 300-kilometer line from the Green Sea Alliance to there."

The planning for the south is roughly like this.

As for the route from the Undead Territory to the Baron Territory Demon Suppression Alliance.

Fang Yuan is not planning to build it for the time being.

First, there is no money, second, there is no need, and third, there are not enough building spaces.

Hardened roads are mainly used in the core territory.

The outer territory.

The teleportation array is even more affordable.

Fang Yuan returned his gaze to the main city.

"The planning for the south, west, southwest, and southeast has been completed."

"The rest is the hardened roads built by the main city."

"Between the main city and the Griffin Castle."

"There are Shiquan Village and Juejing Territory."

"These two places can be connected by roads and extended all the way to the Griffin Castle."

"Thereby building a fast land support line from the main city to the Griffin Castle stronghold."

"Then there is the underground Blackwater City."

Fang Yuan thought about it and decided to build a section of road directly to Blackwater City.

With the hardened road, Blackwater City and the main city can achieve fast land communication.

Then there is the main city to the Voodoo Castle in the north, which is about 300 kilometers long.

With this road, there is no need to station too many legions at the Voodoo Castle.

Finally, the east is left.

This direction is the focus, and it has several important territories of its own.

From the main city to the Valley Military Station, it is about 100 kilometers.

From the Valley Military Station to the Plantagenet Opening Castle, it is 150 kilometers.

Finally, there are more than 100 kilometers from the Broomfield to the Bloodline Castle.

All these places need to be built.

At the same time, Fang Yuan also plans to build a road along the junction of the dense forest and grassland in the east.

Build another one along the river.

However, the length of these two roads is a bit scary.

Count them.

The original budget for the route was less than 5,000 kilometers, but it can directly increase to tens of thousands of kilometers.

That number is too huge.

The daily maintenance fee is not enough.

You know, the daily maintenance fee of the territory is already more than 2 million.

Adding this 5,000 kilometers of distance, it can at least increase tenfold.

If it is tens of thousands~

Fang Yuan felt that most of the resources he produced would be consumed in daily maintenance.

So, he temporarily gave up the last two.

Instead, he chose the first 5,000 kilometers.

After drawing the dotted line on the map.

The next step is to start construction.

Fang Yuan selected the hardened road on the building panel.

"Ding, do you choose to build a hardened road? The first-level hardened road consumes 100,000 gold coins and resources for every 100 kilometers of construction."

100,000 per 100 kilometers.

More than 5,000 kilometers, that is more than 500 million.

The intensity of the war on the northern defense line is lower than expected.

There are a lot more resources.

"Repair!"

"Ding, you have built a hardened road at a cost of more than 500 million gold coins and resources."

"The current mobilization order is sufficient. Do you want to speed up the construction?"

"Yes."

"Ding, the construction is successful."

As the prompt sound falls.

Fang Yuan opens the hardened road panel to check.

[Name]: Hardened Road

[Level]: LV1

[Durability]: 70,000 (basic durability of 10,000 per 100 kilometers of road)

[Daily maintenance funds]: 5.3 million gold coins, resources, and corresponding mobilization order acceleration.

[Mileage]: 5,300

[Remarks]: After upgrading, durability can be increased, and at the same time, daily durability consumption will reduce maintenance funds.

Seeing the huge number of daily maintenance funds.

Fang Yuan took a breath.

"Too much!"

"Who can bear this."

"Must upgrade."

Fang Yuan selected the road.

Choose to upgrade.

"Ding, upgrading costs 50,000/100 kilometers, and requires 250 million gold coins and resources."

Fang Yuan felt a pain in his flesh.

But he gritted his teeth and chose to upgrade.

"Ding, upgrade successful, basic durability +10,000, daily maintenance funds reduced by 200,000."

It took 250 million to reduce the maintenance funds by this much.

Now the daily maintenance is still as high as 5 million.

Only a fool would upgrade.

Fang Yuan decided to give up upgrading road buildings.

Anyway, this special building does not affect the upgrade of his territory.

After completing the construction, Fang Yuan turned to Heidi.

"The territory has built a hardened road."

"You can use the road to patrol the territory later."

"You first send some sword and shield guards and champion heavy armor to patrol the road."

"Beware of invaders entering the territory."

"Yes!"

As Heidi left.

Fang Yuan once again turned his attention to the battle on the northern defense line.

And at the same time.

Just after he finished building the road.

The heroes who invaded his territory also sent the news back to their lords.

And these lords.

were the Destiny Cube Organization from Middle-earth.
