Chapter 48: Three Blueprints! Construction!
[Intermediate building blueprints: Wall.]
[Effect 1: greatly increases the loyalty of the castle residents and soothes the hearts of the people.]
[Effect 2: Increases the castle’s defensive ability.]
[Construction requirements: 10,000 units of stone, 5,000 refined iron.]
…
Looking at the three blueprints in his hands, Mike suddenly felt a little numb in his heart.
None of the three blueprints were high-level blueprints.
Moreover, they were all basic blueprints of the castle.
One low-level blueprint, two middle-level blueprints.
These three blueprints had a common effect, which was to increase the loyalty of the castle residents.
This was very useful to other Castle Lords.
But it was useless to Mike.
At this stage, even though he had subdued more than ten earth dragons, they were just like thugs.
Even if all of them died, it would only be a pity.
He would not feel much heartache.
To his dragon soldiers, their loyalty to him had always been at 100. They were in a state of loyalty and fanaticism, unable to fall or rise.
100 loyalty points was already the highest value.
“I can only say that… It’s better than nothing!”
Mike did not plan to sell these blueprints even though he believed that these three blueprints could be sold for a large price.
In addition to the fact that they were useless now, they would definitely be useful in the future.
His castle’s area of influence was 5,000 meters, and his direct territory was 2,000 meters.
With the castle as the center, the area within 2,000 meters was empty. There were no trees, and nothing could stop him.
He could build folkhouses and houses for nobles.
This would make his direct territory look less empty.
He also needed a wall, and it was crucial.
He could form a circle around his direct territory to stop the monsters from attacking the castle.
The wall was obviously much better than the fence that the little loli had dropped.
After all, one was a stone wall, and the other was a wooden fence.
With the folk houses, the nobles’ courtyards, and the wall, his ‘Dragon King Town’ really looked like a town.
How could you call it a town just by having a castle, a warehouse, and a Holy Dragon Palace?
“The basic building doesn’t seem to be of much use to me.”
“However, it’s also necessary!”
“This is the basic infrastructure of the territory, and it’s indispensable.”
“In the future, we can also use it to subdue other soldiers.”
“It can also increase loyalty, which is also fine.”
In the future, his Dragon King City would certainly be magnificent, with countless soldiers living in the city. If there was only a bare castle, what would it look like?
…
Mike took out an azure blueprint.
The first thing he built was a wall.
Along with 10,000 units of stone. 5,000 units of fine iron disappeared.
A wall about five meters high and 1.4 meters wide appeared in the golden light, completely enveloping his immediate territory.
It was very difficult for ordinary elite monsters to destroy it and kill their way into the castle’s territory.
Its defense was much stronger than the fence.
The appearance of the wall made Mike feel a sense of security.
This was caused by the specific environment. It had nothing to do with whether Tyrell’s team could protect him or not.
Facing an empty flat land and a world surrounded by a five-meter-high wall were two different things.
Then, Mike started to build folk houses and noble houses on the empty land.
The blueprints of the houses could be used thirty times. In other words, thirty houses could be built.
The noble houses could be used five times.
Soon, a large area of golden light appeared.
On the empty land near the castle, houses and houses of nobility appeared one after another.
The arrangement was not messy. On the contrary, it was well-arranged.
Mike even deliberately left a space for it to become a street.
Compared to the simple houses, the nobles’courtyards, which occupied thousands of square meters, looked tall and elegant. Even Mike was tempted and wanted to stay there for a few days.
However, he was only thinking about it.
Looking at his castle, the nobles ‘courtyards could not compare.
When these buildings were built, the loyalty of the earth dragon team rose to 80.
Mike also looked at Tyrell and the others. Their bodies were too big.
It was obviously not suitable to live in such a residential house.
Although it could be reduced to a small size, it could still be used for a while.
It was not a good idea to stay in the open space.
He said to the giant dragon beside him, “Tyrell, you guys should choose to live here too.”
“It’s not good to stay outside.”
“Now that the wall has been built, let’s take a proper rest.”
“Patrol in shifts.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
As he said that, he shrank his body.
The dragons actually did not have any requirements for the living environment.
…
The world had already become quiet.
After Mike had done all these things, he yawned and went back to his bedroom on the top floor of the castle. He was really too tired that night.
After staying up all night, coupled with the disappearance of the castle’s protective shield, nearly 2,000 wild monsters had attacked and invaded his castle. He had personally participated in the battle and killed more than 50 wild monsters, including many elite-level monsters.
His armor had long been dripping with blood.
However, with the armor, he was not injured at all.
It was just that he was physically and mentally exhausted.
After taking a shower, Mike fell asleep on the bed.
At this time, many Castle Lords who had experienced the great battle were also exhausted.
Even the world chat channel was deserted.
…
He did not know how long he had slept. Mike suddenly woke up.
He looked out of the window. The sky was still bright white, and the red sun was still high in the sky.
“Looks like I only slept for three hours.”
Mike felt a little helpless.
The biological clock on his body seemed to be messed up.
Although he was still a little tired, Mike could not sleep anymore.
After all, the protective shield had disappeared, and he could not sleep as soundly as before.
At this moment, his stomach was still growling. He had not eaten anything before he went to sleep, and he had experienced another great battle.
It was reasonable for him to growl when he woke up hungry.
He got up to wash up, and then went to the restaurant to have lunch.
Then, he opened the [Space Exchange].
After an entire morning, the exchange was very lively.
At a glance, it was filled with food and monster materials.
Many of them were large transactions.
The number of Castle Lords who could sell thousands of units of food at once was unbelievable.
There were even castle lords who could sell 10,000 units of food at once.
This was something that had never happened before.
Even Mike had only stocked 2,000 to 3,000 units of food at one go.
Obviously, this was the result of this morning’s battle!
