10 at night.

The Fortress of the Ordered.

Zhao Haiping came to the door of the blacksmith shop and found that there were already many players queuing up here.

"I want that mid-range armor!"

"Give me a better spear."

"Are you selling war horse armor? If so, give me the cheapest set!"

The whole street nearby seemed very lively.

After clearing the dungeons twice, there have been many upgrades in the Orderer's Fortress.

On the one hand, there are many more merchants in the town, selling a variety of equipment and props, which also carry different functions of the town. On the other hand, the scope of the entire historical slice has become larger.

Li Weiyi and other players have already begun to discuss the next step of planning for the Orderer's Fortress.

So far, the first phase of Linyuan City's construction plan has been basically completed thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of the players.

In Li Weiyi's previous plan, the city wall of Linyuan City had a total of three floors, not counting the original rammed earth wall of the county seat.

In fact, Li Weiyi and others have already wanted to tear down the rammed earth wall, because it no longer plays a very defensive role and it still occupies an area. However, manpower is currently tight, so they are leaving it temporarily.

The ones currently under construction are all stone walls.

The innermost layer is a circle of stone walls on the cliff at the top of the mountain, locking the strategic location and ensuring that the inner city is a flat ground, which can be regarded as the core area;

The middle layer is built on the mountainside according to the terrain, including resources on the mountain such as farmland, mines and other resources;

The outer layer is a circle of city walls built near the foot of the mountain according to the terrain, as the front line against the enemy.

The three city walls are connected by city walls. There are many secret passages and underground caves, allowing players to quickly support each other back and forth.

In addition, there are also city walls that lead directly to the water to prepare for the future.

What if this game can open up naval forces in the future? Then we can naturally build naval docks, and it will be even more convenient to rely on rivers to transport troops.

During the expedition of the Orderers in the copy of "The Marquis Is Not My Will", the innermost wall of the entire Orderer fortress had been completed and played a major role in the battle against the Northern Barbarian cavalry.

After that, the players kept moving bricks.

This time Zhao Haiping came to the Fortress of the Orderer again and saw a lively scene.

This may be because the last version opened the cavalry trial of "exploring the bag to retrieve objects", and most players went directly to the cavalry trial, so the big move has slowed down a bit; and now there is no new small trial in this transitional version.

The refining dungeon is open, so players come to work in the Fortress of the Orderer to make money.

So far, thanks to the hard work of the players, the second and third floors of the city wall have been largely completed.

I have to say that the construction speed of players is indeed terrifying, especially as new versions of the game "Dark Sand" continue to be opened, players have more and more resources, the number of players is also increasing, and the construction speed is also getting faster and faster.

The faster.

Now, a three-dimensional defense system has been initially established, surrounding the entire mountain in three circles, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside and to the top of the mountain, all surrounded by city walls, which can be said to be impregnable.

The players are all looking forward to it, the Northern Barbarian Cavalry is coming again.

The cavalry hedging is certainly thrilling, but if you can use rolling logs, rocks and various defensive equipment to beat the monsters on the top of the city, it might not be a more enjoyable way to play.

If Li Weiyi's previous construction plan is followed, the next step is to continue to build the city wall and connect all three city walls.

The next step is to continue to strengthen and heighten these city walls and build fortresses on them.

When viewed from a distance, the entire mountain looks like a giant hedgehog. The three city walls and the fortresses on the city walls are like countless sharp thorns on the body of the hedgehog. Just one look from a distance will completely make people lose the desire to attack.

.

And the demon's fearless offensive characteristics will only bring more happiness to the players in this city.

However, at this time, Li Weiyi and other construction bosses were intensely discussing the follow-up construction plan of the Orderer's Fortress.

Because at this time they are faced with a choice: should they continue to consume construction value and completely complete the entire Linyuan City defense system planned before? Or should they keep Linyuan City in its current state for the time being and use a large amount of construction value to rebuild it?

What about the terrain around here?

The reason why there is such a tangle is because after the two historical slices of "the title is not my own" and "the reckless heroism" were opened up, the scope of the entire Orderer fortress and player fiefdoms has been greatly expanded.

.

The historical slice where the Orderer's Fortress is currently located has been expanded several times compared to its original state.

Its original scope was actually only enough to build a city.

Of course, the scope mentioned here not only includes the city itself, but also includes the surrounding areas that the city can radiate and cover.

Each city has a certain coverage area, and there must be a lot of space between cities.

If this space is too small, it will be a waste of resources and the role of the city will be repeated; but if the space is too large, the city will not be able to cover it, creating a blind spot for defense.

In these newly emerged areas, there are also a large number of resources that players need.

For example, wood, stone mines, coal mines, iron mines, farmland, etc. are distributed in a completely random state.

Players can certainly travel thousands of miles to transport these resources, but after all, the distance is long and not cost-effective.

This is just like some strategy games. When the territory becomes large, you have to consider opening separate bases.

Therefore, in order to bring the entire area under control, the best solution is to build a few more cities.

At present, judging from the most extreme situation, at least four more cities are needed to cover all the resources of the entire historical slice within the protection scope of the city.

It is not impossible to have only one city, but on the one hand, the delivery speed of supplies will be slower, and on the other hand, if the demons really invade in large numbers one day, it means that all areas that cannot be covered by Linyuan City will have to be destroyed.

Occupied by demons, the resources in these places cannot be used.

Therefore, Li Weiyi also considered whether to spend some more construction value to reshape the terrain, and continue to plan the area of ​​the new city based on the generated terrain.

Even if three or four cities cannot be built at once, at least one additional city must be built to form a twin-city structure.

This can maximize the use of resources.

Of course, when reshaping the terrain, players can choose to lock the terrain in a certain area and not change it. This avoids the destruction of the already built Linyuan City when the terrain is randomly generated.

However, the construction value is limited after all. Whether to repair Linyuan City first, or to transform the terrain and generate a new city requires careful weighing.

Therefore, these construction elders started to argue again, but they have not been able to reach a definite conclusion yet.

On the other side, there are also many players who are busy buying various new equipment.

Zhao Haiping immediately bought a set of war horse armor, and also upgraded his bow and arrow. He bought a riding bow that was very suitable for mounted archery.

By the way, I also bought a three-eyed gun that comes standard with cavalry.

Many players have tasted the benefits of this thing in the trial dungeon before, so of course they have to arrange it for themselves at this time.

After clearing the "Reckless Heroic" dungeon, all the equipment from the entire Dasheng Dynasty has been updated in the fortress, leaving players spoiled for choice.

After some operations, Zhao Haiping was poor again.

There is no way, money is wasting like water!

Whether it is weapons or armor, they are all too expensive, and it is easy to empty out all your savings.

I had no choice but to leave Linyuan City, mount my war horse and go to nearby Xianda Xianda, hoping to see if I could be lucky enough to encounter some random monsters, and kill them in exchange for some reward money.

…

At the same time, several players gathered in Li Hongyun's fiefdom.

These are all like-minded musket enthusiasts he found during this period of gaming.

Many of them are craftsmen who have a deep understanding of firearms or have extremely strong hands-on skills.

Li Hongyun is now considered a star player, so he has considerable appeal among the player community, and has successfully organized such a "Musket Innovation Research Team".

At this time, there were many different firearms in front of everyone, such as various identical or different bird blunderbuss, three-eyed blunderbuss, etc., and they were trying to dismantle and study them.

There is also a blacksmith who is hammering a red-hot iron ingot with an anvil.

Before the end of the dungeon "The Marquis Is Not My Will", an area similar to a blacksmith's shop appeared in the player's fief, with anvils, furnaces, hammers and other basic props for blacksmithing.

It's just that at that time, the two dungeons "Exploring the Bag and Fetching Objects" and "Reckless Heroic Spirit" were about to be released soon, and not many players actually studied this stuff.

After all, blacksmithing is itself a technical job and very expensive.

If you want to forge iron in your own fief, you have to go to the Orderer's fortress to buy coal, iron ore and various materials. And if you fail, it means that all these are in vain. After a long day of hard work, it is often better to go directly to the blacksmith shop.

Buy ready-made.

In the early days, players were relatively poor and reluctant to try this.

But as the game progresses, players become more and more wealthy, and some people start to think about blacksmithing.

Li Hongyun is obviously one of them.

Some players are more interested in the forging of cold weapons, but what Li Hongyun is most interested in is obviously hot weapons.

That is, how to continue to improve the blunderbuss in his hand.

"So, the result of the research is that we can't make Gatling.

“Not only can’t you make a Gatling, you can’t even make an ordinary bolt-action rifle.
To be continued...
