Chapter 188: Stone Statue's Lair
It would take some time to build the psychic research laboratory, so Li Ziyu simply went to look at other buildings. He had wanted to upgrade the weapons workshop and armor workshop as well, but when he saw the upgrade requirements, he realized that they both required psychic cores. Well, he decided to give up and wait until he had researched them out.
After searching around inside the building, he finally found a building that interested him - the Gargoyle's Lair.
Gargoyle Lair
[Introduction: Have you heard of them? They are a group of magical creatures created by the undead. In the sun, they turn into stone statues, and at night, they resurrect! They will silently observe you, and then suddenly jump out to scare you. Although they like to play pranks, they are still qualified as guards.]
[Unlocked unit: Gargoyle Guard]
[Construction Requirements: Stone*unit, Skeleton*1000 units, Psionic Energy*2000 units]
[Area: None (must be built within the main city-level building)]
Having just experienced a great battle and upgraded to a fortress, the entire mobile fortress is in need of reconstruction. It would be a good idea to add some garrison soldiers, so let's build a gargoyle nest.
From the perspective of the previous life, gargoyles will transform into stone statues. In addition to being used for guarding, these stone statues can also be used to decorate the cemetery and the main building of the fortress to increase "popularity".
Li Ziyu placed the gargoyle's lair in a room in the main building and started construction.
Leaving the construction of the gargoyle's nest aside, Li Ziyu continued to study other buildings. Many buildings now required psychic cores and could not be built for the time being, but some buildings related to the city wall could be built.
【Thickened bone plate】
[Introduction: Add a layer of bone plate made of a mixture of bone meal and stone powder to the city wall, increasing its thickness while also providing a certain degree of defense. PS: This thing is not as useful as you think, so it's enough. I recommend installing it at the bottom of the city wall.]
[Construction requirements: Stone*1 unit, Skeleton*1 unit]
Thickening the bone plate actually means adding a layer of bricks to the city wall to make it more resistant to construction. The construction requirements are also based on unit area. If you want to wrap the entire city wall, it will also consume a lot of resources.
Fortunately, Li Ziyu did not plan to wrap the entire city wall with thickened bone plates. He just planned to thicken the bottom of the city wall as prompted by the system, and then stick bone plates on it from the base of the city wall to four meters above.
The lower four meters of the city wall are covered with bone plates, and Li Ziyu plans to arrange thorn wall panels on the upper sixteen meters of the city wall. This kind of wall panel is covered with spikes. In addition to having defensive and magic resistance properties, it can also cause damage when the enemy attacks the city.
【Thorn wall panel】
[Introduction: To enhance the defensive power of the city walls, the Undead designed Thorn Wall Panels, inspired by thorns. The outer layer is covered with sharp thorns, resembling thorn vines. Don't think this provides an opportunity for the enemy to climb up; the Undead wouldn't be so foolish. These thorns are alive! PS: It would be even more perfect if it could be combined with other defensive features.]
[Construction requirements: Stone*1 unit, Skeleton*3 units]
With thickened bone plates and thorn wall panels, the city walls will become stronger and have the ability to resist enemy sieges.
When the city wall began to be renovated, the system prompted that the [Gargoyle Lair] had been built and the new type of troops had been unlocked.
Li Ziyu opened the system page and found a new type of soldier - Gargoyle Guard.
Only after taking a look did he realize that the so-called gargoyle guards did not all look the same, but were a category that included several types of soldiers, including flying gargoyles, armored guards, stone warriors, and so on.
It's not that new soldiers have been unlocked, it's that the various gargoyles seem to have opened up a new race.
Li Ziyu didn't know that his complaint was actually correct. In the history of the undead, gargoyles were a race created by them using soul energy. However, after countless years, the undead (especially liches) improved the gargoyles generation after generation.
The undead are actually a lazy race. They created gargoyles in the hope that they could help them accomplish some things. So after generations of improvements, they successfully gave the gargoyles the ability to think... This is equivalent to creating a race.
After gaining the ability to think, the gargoyles gradually got out of control and even started a war, fighting with the undead for nearly a hundred years. Finally, the undead felt that they should not destroy the race they created, and decided to accept the gargoyles and make them a member of the undead race.
The decision of the undead is actually not difficult to understand. Not to mention that the gargoyles are the result of their painstaking research and development, the undead are infertile. They almost treat the gargoyles as their own children, even though the children clamor for freedom and clamor to overthrow the rule of the undead.
But parents still love their children, and the undead just think that the gargoyles are throwing a tantrum. Apart from the undead, who else would accept these creatures created by magic?
The war ended with the gargoyles returning to the Undead race and becoming a new branch, so Li Ziyu was really right in complaining. The gargoyles are indeed an independent race, and the gargoyle race, a branch of the Undead race, is the same as the skeleton undead.
However, the gargoyle race was created by the undead, so any undead tribe can have some gargoyle troops.
The lowest level of gargoyles provided in the Gargoyle Lair is the Gargoyle Warrior, a fairly basic gargoyle warrior with an ugly appearance and well-developed muscles. They use one-handed swords, one-handed knives, one-handed axes, etc. as weapons. The sun is very lethal to them, and they can generally only move in dark places.
