Chapter 171: The Level 4 Royal City Dare to Show Off
Zhang Yang circled the area between three hundred and five hundred miles away from his old nest three times and did not return until the fifth day.
On the way back, he hoped to see soldiers trained by the Wu father and son patrolling and on guard, or even some hidden sentries that could spot him, but in the end there was nothing.
It was not until he passed through the vast jungle that the view in front of him suddenly opened up and a huge city gate appeared in front of him. Ten months had passed, and the main body of the level 6 royal city had been completed, including some regional facilities, which had been put into use early. For example, the grain storage system of the royal city was completed in the first month, ensuring that most of the food supplies could be safely transferred before the rainy season arrived.
"Minister Wu Lei!"
"Minister Wu Ya!"
"Greetings, my lord."
After Zhang Yang arrived at the city gate, the Wu family father and son hurried over after hearing the news. It seemed that they had not arranged any guards and patrols outside. Were they too confident, or were they more confident in this royal city? "Please stand up. You two have worked hard." Zhang Yang still smiled. He was more interested in what this huge level 6 royal city looked like. "My lord, you have not returned for ten months. There are many important matters that need your consent."
Wu Lei spoke at this time.
"speak."
"Yes, lord. I have completed the task of recruiting soldiers four months ago and successfully recruited 10,000 refugees. Three thousand new soldiers have returned and are now all settled in West City. In the past four months, I have been responsible for managing the refugees and training the new soldiers. Now there are 3,000 captain-level soldiers with high morale. They can be used. However, captain-level soldiers are not very useful on the battlefield. I plan to train 300 of them into Rock Heavy Infantry. Please approve it, lord."
As soon as Wu Lei finished speaking, a piece of information was randomly mapped out.
"Do you want to train 500 captain-level infantrymen into 500 special-type Rock Heavy Infantrymen? This process will take a year and will be trained by Wu Lei himself. During this training period, the consumption of food and grass will increase tenfold, and Wu Lei will not be able to handle any other matters. Do you want to continue?"
"Note: Special troops cannot be recruited directly, they can only be trained by captain-level soldiers from historical generals."
"Note: Since the construction of the Level 6 Royal City has not yet been completed, there is only one training sequence for special soldiers."
"OK!"
Of course Zhang Yang would not refuse.
At this time, Wu Ya stepped forward and bowed, saying, "My lord, for the past ten months, I have been on guard day and night and have not found any spying. When the main part of the royal city was completed, due to the large number of city walls and the small number of soldiers, I gave up patrolling in the wild and focused on patrolling the city walls instead."
"However, the walls of the Level 6 Royal City are vast and large, and there are many places that need to be defended. I believe that it would be difficult to fully garrison without 50,000 soldiers. This matter is serious, and I dare not make the decision. I can only ask the Lord to make the decision."
"Also, I want to rebuild the Iron Lion, but I lack a strong mount. I heard that there is a strange beast overseas named Suanni, which is good at running and can cross mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. It can charge and can easily trample and break through the enemy army even if it is as big as the sea. So I want to go and buy 300 of them myself. I can return in two months. Please grant me permission, lord."
As expected, it’s another side quest.
"Side quest, buy 300 Suanni rare beast mounts, which will cost 100 mana, five rare treasures, two golden hope fragments, and 100,000 energy points. Do you agree?"
"agree."
Of course Zhang Yang would not refuse. He just didn't know whether he could afford it. But it turned out that was not a problem at all. The large amount of immortal cultivation materials obtained from the Jindan stage demon cultivator were all rare treasures.
"Wait a minute, Wu Ya, can you buy more Suanni beasts?"
Zhang Yang suddenly had an idea and asked, "Before, Wu Lei's side quests had an upper limit and he couldn't recruit more, so it should be possible to buy them now, right?"
"My lord, I'm not sure, but I'm willing to give it a try." Wu Ya didn't say anything definite.
"Very good. Here are 20 rare treasures. Take them all. You can buy as many as you can. I won't force you. You have full control over them."
Flaunt, generous and authentic.
"In this case, it will probably take six months for me to return. My lord, it would be better for you to select a general to take charge of the defense of the royal city as soon as possible." Wu Ya retreated and disappeared after a few steps.
Wu Lei was also ordered to train 300 Rock Heavy Steps.
Zhang Yang was not in a hurry at this time, and began to carefully inspect the level 6 royal city which was nearly 80% completed.
This is not a regular city with straight lines and square shapes, because it is restricted by the terrain. In addition, Zhaozhou will not clear mountains on a large scale because of the so-called dragon veins. It will only build along the mountains for the so-called dragon veins. Therefore, this city really looks like a mountain when viewed from the front and a peak when viewed from the side, with different heights and distances.
The city gate where Zhang Yang is now is facing southwest, because this was originally the entrance to a valley and is also one of the wider places nearby.
Therefore, the city gates and walls here are exceptionally tall, majestic and magnificent, and have the momentum of dominating the world.
While taking into account the majestic appearance, the defenses on the city wall are also layered. Not only is there a zigzag wall built against the mountain on each side, but there is also a second layer of wall designed behind the city wall, which is about 50 meters higher than the city gate and 500 meters away in a straight line. This shooting space is very deadly.
Zhang Yang could imagine what a desperate blow it would be to the invading enemies when it was filled with archers and various long-range weapons.
After entering the city gate, the streets are not flat, but curve upward, winding around, with small towns connected to big cities, and big cities connected to small towns. One has to release a ten-kilometer soul force field to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
Then he could only say that this old man Zhaozhou was truly a talent, because looking down from several thousand meters in the air, all the city walls, inner city walls, and boundary walls of each area of this level 6 royal city were clearly a coiled giant dragon.
And the scale is too big.
It includes a total of 12 peaks, 5 valleys, and 6 canyons, spanning 30 kilometers from east to west and 40 kilometers from north to south.
But the scope is not a problem at all. There are still 6 peaks, a valley and 2 canyons that are idle. The old man is really grabbing land.
However, it does not seem right to say that such a large area is impossible to defend.
This is because the walls of this royal city are not of the type that encompass everything, but instead only guard key points and utilize the terrain to form a natural barrier.
Well, Zhang Yang was dizzy. He couldn’t see the whole picture anymore. He could only count how many cities there were.
There are three relatively large inner cities, all located on the mountain peaks. Currently, only the outline of the city wall has been built, and the interior has not yet been started, but one can already imagine how majestic it will be after completion.
Then there are 12 medium-sized inner cities. The reason for having so many medium-sized inner cities is not to draw circles, but to expand the streets. Each section of the wall of these 12 medium-sized inner cities is a street. They change with the terrain, which is high or low and winding. They have turned a poor, bad, steep and dangerous mountain range into a livable city.
Very livable, very livable.
Zhang Yang has even seen the residential area. Each house is big or small and in a different location, but they are definitely an independent landscape. There is either a bridge in front of the door, a mountain outside the window, or a view of half of the city. These are not houses, but works of art.
It blends perfectly with the environment, nature and the entire city, and is permeated with an invisible aura.
The residential area is so convenient and elegant, and the storage area is heavy and safe. Take the granary as an example. It was built directly in the original valley, based on both sides of the valley. It is built purely with bluestone, which is fireproof, waterproof, insect-proof and theft-proof.
The huge square formed above the granary turned into a huge training ground three kilometers long and two kilometers wide, and an even more spacious military academy ground.
Next to it is the military camp.
But there is more than one military camp, obviously for defensive considerations. There are a total of 12 military camps in the royal city, all located at the defense center of the royal city.
As for other more subtle details, Zhang Yang was no longer able to see them. He admitted that he was shocked by such a royal city. The shock did not come from its huge scale. Cities on Earth were much larger than this.
This shock also did not come from those fantastic ideas.
Rather, it comes from the integration with the environment and the terrain, which in turn forms a wonderful aura.
Zhang Yang is now a cultivator in the Qi training stage, so his senses are extremely sharp.
"If I practice here, I can save at least half the time, but I think old man Zhaozhou will get angry with me. This royal city was built to continuously and openly cultivate talents. Only with talents can we have everything. If I use it to cultivate immortality, it will be putting the cart before the horse."
Zhang Yang did not bother the old man Zhaozhou. The subsequent construction of this royal city would take another two months, which was the minimum standard to be approved by the village construction order.
But to perfect it in detail, it will probably take ten, twenty, or even more than a hundred years, because a royal city cannot be an isolated royal city. The surrounding county towns, state capitals, county towns, and even villages and towns must be spread out like a spider web.
For the next two months, Zhang Yang did not practice, but led the soldiers to patrol day and night. He had no royal energy now, so he could not summon famous generals from history, so he could only work harder himself.
Fortunately, no one disturbed us. The friend who looked like a red-skinned monster must be causing trouble in a certain area. He might also be building a royal city, but I don't know what level of royal city it is.
But it's definitely not level 6.
Of course, even if the red-skinned monster could build a level 4 royal city, it would be a huge advantage in less than two years since the start of this game. The poor demons were stabbed twice in the heart of their heartland.
One day two months later, Zhang Yang was on patrol. Suddenly, he had an idea. He looked up to the north and seemed to see something vaguely.
At the same time, the village commander was reading for him.
"On the fourth day of the seventh month in the second year of the disaster, I was looking northwards during my tour of the city. I saw a faint dragon aura rising from three thousand miles away. It was quite impressive. I smiled and said, 'How dare a mere level 4 royal city deceive me?'"
