Chapter 160: Mass transfer to towers to consolidate defense
[Hint: You spent 300 points of magic power to transform the Elf Standard Long Sword forging blueprint into the Elf Sword Forging Tower.]
[Hint: Your luck is overflowing. The item Fireball Scroll is transformed into a Blazing Tower, which costs 70 points of magic power.]
……
Amid the endless reminders, the items accumulated in Mo Yu's hands were quickly consumed, and defense towers were transformed one after another.
Twenty fireball scrolls were successfully transformed into six first-tier rare-grade blast towers and fourteen first-tier ordinary-grade fireball towers.
Most of this batch of scrolls were just produced by Annis.
After an adaptation period, the production of magic scrolls is now officially on track.
As long as there are enough materials, the daily output will be maintained at at least 10 sheets.
Once those magic apprentices have mastered the production of these basic magic scrolls, the number will only increase.
These rare magic apprentices have very good qualifications and have mastered a lot of basic magic knowledge.
It’s just that I was keen on combat magic in the past and had no intention of developing in this direction.
Now I’m learning how to make magic scrolls and I’m getting the hang of it very quickly.
After all, the production of first-level magic scrolls is not advanced knowledge. After mastering the drawing of magic patterns, you can get started quickly by practicing more.
As for what those magic apprentices thought, Mo Yu didn't bother to care.
There is no room for them to be picky here.
Next, as the production of these magic scrolls increases, the territory will have a very stable elemental tower conversion channel.
Mo Yu's plan is to accumulate at least 100 Explosive Towers first.
The rare Explosive Tower has a probability of explosion and is very practical.
There is no need to continue synthesizing.
After all, when ten towers are combined into one tower, the output of each individual tower becomes stronger, but the overall output actually becomes weaker.
There is no shortage of space in the territory now. Not to mention 100 towers, there is plenty of room for 1000 towers.
According to Mo Yu's idea, there should be at least one tower every 10 meters behind the wall in the future.
He wanted to use defense towers to form a wall around his territory.
In addition to this batch of magic scrolls, Mo Yu also transformed those special magic arrows.
60 magic arrows, including 20 explosive arrows, 20 armor-piercing arrows, and 20 split arrows.
As the name suggests, the functions have the ability to explode after hitting, increase penetration and split.
These magic arrows transformed into a total of 25 first-level ordinary arrow towers, 29 first-level rare arrow towers, and 6 first-level uncommon arrow towers.
The conversion of arrows is very unstable.
From common to rare, it spans several levels.
Moreover, the ammunition supply of these defense towers is generally very low, with only 10 rounds of ammunition for the ordinary level, 20 rounds for the rare level, and 50 rounds for the uncommon level.
With the arrow tower's firing rate, the ammunition will be exhausted in less than a minute.
Mo Yu guessed that this phenomenon might be related to the value of the arrow itself.
I remember that the arrow tower converted from a crossbow had a much more normal amount of ammunition.
Towers like the Dark Crossbow Tower and the Magic Crossbow Tower have hundreds of rounds of ammunition, unlike these defense towers.
However, there is nothing to complain about.
After all, the transformed magic arrows are disposable consumables, and the value of each one is not too high.
Among the 60 converted arrow towers, the attack type is related to the converted arrows.
The arrow tower transformed from explosive arrows has a small-range explosion effect, which is equivalent to a weakened version of the explosive arrow tower.
The arrow tower converted from armor-piercing arrows has a strong penetrating effect.
The arrow tower that splits the arrows has the effect of dispersing them into more arrows.
The effects of the common, rare, and uncommon levels are roughly similar, the difference lies in the strength of the effects.
The construction of 20 elemental towers and 60 arrow towers greatly strengthened the long-range fire suppression of the Mo Yu territory.
You will feel more at ease when going out to explore or conquer in the future.
Among the defense towers transformed this time, these 80 towers are the most important batch.
The remaining one is an elven sword-forging tower that was transformed from the blueprint of an elven standard longsword, which can be regarded as Mo Yu's attempt to transform items in the equipment blueprint category.
As expected, the equipment blueprint was transformed into a defense tower such as the Bread Tower that has automatic casting function.
Compared with direct forging by a blacksmith, it is undoubtedly more stable, just like the assembly line machinery in a factory.
But unfortunately, although automation is automated, the forging speed is somewhat disappointing.
Once every six hours, that is to say, if it runs 24 hours a day, only four standard elven swords can be forged in a day.
After the blacksmith learns directly, the forging will definitely not be as good as the casting tower in the early stage.
But as his level rises and his skills become more proficient, the blacksmith's forging will become better.
Therefore, comparing the two, it is more cost-effective to directly learn these equipment drawings.
Unless it is a special equipment that no one can learn and master, you may want to consider converting it directly into a defense tower.
This time, Mo Yu converted a batch of defense towers and upgraded two defense towers to level five.
It is the giant trebuchet and the Aurora Light Tower.
The fifth-level giant catapult has a new giant feature, which means that the thrown boulders have a chance to double in size.
After the promotion, the radius of the stone throwing has reached more than one meter, and it is taller than a person when lying flat on the ground.
If you double it, it really looks like a small hill, which is very visually impactful.
With such a huge volume flying in the air, its inertia alone is an extremely powerful force, and the city-destroying effect will be even more terrifying.
The stone walls of the territory would definitely collapse in the face of such a huge rock attack.
If we conquer other territories again, such a defense tower will definitely be a headache for the enemy.
The other tower, the fifth-order Aurora Light Tower, had no new features, but its properties had changed slightly.
The current Aurora Lightning Tower can transmit the Lightning Chain to ten people. Combined with the characteristics of paralysis and doubling damage, its output capacity should not be underestimated.
There is also an advanced tower, the Golden Bone Tower.
Mo Yu successfully upgraded this first-level epic defense tower to the second level through the previously converted first-level defense tower heart.
He has had this defense tower heart in his hands for a long time.
It was originally prepared for the Golden Bone Tower, but later, after seeing that the Golden Bone Tower had not changed much compared to the original level after being promoted to the epic level, I decided to wait a little longer.
But this time in the war with the territory of the Fallen Demons, the role played by the Golden Bone Tower made Mo Yu realize its significance.
Therefore, I chose to use the Heart of the Defense Tower on it, allowing it to successfully reach the second level.
The second-level epic golden bone tower has a new feature, bone spurs.
The shape of the golden bone shield wall has changed greatly, with many exposed bone spikes like chevaux de frise, which is undoubtedly more lethal to cavalry.
In addition, the most criticized ammunition capacity has been increased to 50 rounds.
The existence time of the Golden Bone Shield Wall in the outside world has also increased from the original thirty minutes to one hour.
Overall, the practicality of the Golden Bone Pagoda has increased a lot.
"Unfortunately, the conditions for upgrading several main towers have not been met."
Mo Yu looked at the status of the defense tower displayed in the building information and sighed.
Rare defense towers usually have easy upgrade requirements, and can often be achieved with just one magic crystal. However, after rare, epic, or even legendary defense towers reach level 4, the upgrade requirements become much more demanding.
Either they are epic monsters that are difficult to find, or they are specific items like troop nests and skill books, and now we can only watch them.
The only relatively simple main tower is the Sunflower Tower, which has been promoted to the fifth level.
The conditions for mental castration have been met, and what is lacking now is the number of curses.
Mo Yu had a hunch that this defense tower might be the first defense tower to reach the top in the territory.
After some conversion and sorting, it was already past two in the morning.
It has been very quiet outside the territory, and there seems to be no monster forces attacking the territory tonight.
In the building list, the Rune Empire’s exclusive building, the Rune Mage Tower, has been completed.
But it was too late at night and Mo Yu really didn't want to get up to check.
I simply closed the list and fell asleep.
I had a severe headache, but after closing my eyes for just a moment, I fell asleep completely.
……
The next day, Mo Yu woke up slowly at around eight o'clock in the morning.
The dull pain in my left eye and temple disappeared without a trace.
A new day has come again.
Mo Yu jumped up from the bed, full of passion.
After defeating the Fallen Monster Tribe, he planned to formally explore the forest today and open up a passage to the logging camp ahead.
Without the fallen monsters lurking around, Mo Yu can occupy this resource point with confidence.
Including going inside the forest, to the gold mine.
If possible, he also hopes to occupy it.
After thinking about it again and again last night, Mo Yu still felt that this gold mine resource point was very important to the territory.
There is no other reason. Basic resources such as wood, stone, and magic energy all have relatively stable sources.
As for gold coins, the way to obtain them has always been unstable.
Opening treasure chests, drops from alien monsters... these all depend on luck.
However, in the development of the territory, gold coins are an indispensable resource and are consumed in large quantities.
Recruiting soldiers, upgrading territories, and constructing some buildings all require gold coins.
Therefore, he still hopes to occupy that gold mine resource point.
Of course, it would be best if the Shadow Scout could directly dismantle its resource heart and bring it back.
With this thought in mind, Mo Yu got up and opened the door.
Breakfast was ready and served quickly.
The goblin spearmen guarding outside the yard knelt on the ground respectfully and reported on the situation of the territory from last night to this morning.
Da Zhuang is not here. He is currently at the Tazhai Library, organizing and participating in the study of the common language of the human race.
The two goblin spearmen chosen by Da Zhuang to serve as messengers for Mo Yu were very smart, and they spoke fluently and clearly.
Through their reports, Mo Yu learned that the shadow scouts had failed to successfully bring back the resource heart of the gold mine.
Coincidentally, that gold mine was a third-level gold mine resource point and had not generated a resource heart.
The shadow scouts simply killed all the twenty or so Fallen Monsters stationed inside the gold mine, and reorganized the more than thirty laborers inside.
Now the gold mine has been occupied and belongs to the wild resource point of the territory.
Therefore, not all the shadow scouts returned, and a small number of people were left to guard there.
The second piece of news was that Salt successfully transported the unicorn statue back to the territory and temporarily placed it in the open space outside the yard.
The third piece of news is that there was a riot among the Tinder rabbits last night and seven or eight of them died.
It is said that...the cause of the riot was a dispute over the ownership of the female rabbit.
Because it happened too suddenly, even though they were separated immediately, there were still casualties.
"We will set up a temporary camp at the gold mine to guard the gold mine and monitor the depths of the forest. The specific matters will be arranged by the scout team leader Timo, and he will arrange the specific garrison personnel."
"Move the unicorn statue to the territory's bonfire square."
"The consequences of the Tinderella riot... are not serious. Forget the punishment this time, but tell them not to do it again!"
Mo Yu gave instructions while eating breakfast.
The goblin spearmen will report the information to Da Zhuang, who will then make the arrangements.
Breakfast was quickly finished and Mo Yu walked out with his hands behind his back.
As soon as I went out and took a few steps, I heard a burst of uneven recitation sounds.
If you listen carefully, you can hear that these recitations are repeated following a female voice as clear as an oriole.
It's like a child in class.
"Little Sunflower Class has started?"
Mo Yu was very interested and came to Tazhai Library.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Da Zhuang, Timo, Uhtred, Bluman and others in the territory. Every one of them was learning the basics of the human common language from the magic apprentice Meryl.
What surprised Mo Yu was that even Lai Fu was among them, concentrating fully on the task.
I don’t know whether I have learned anything or not.
He came very suddenly and made very little noise, so it was impossible for these people to know in advance and act in a show of strength.
So they are really studying hard and making progress every day.
When everyone saw the lord coming, they stopped and greeted him.
Seeing this, Merrill, who was teaching with his back to Mo Yu, had to stop leading the reading and turn around to salute.
"It's okay, don't worry about me, just continue." Mo Yu waved his hand, signaling them not to stop.
Even when Da Zhuang wanted to get up and come over, he was stopped by his eyes.
When studying, you should study hard and don't think about miscellaneous things.
The lord was watching nearby, so everyone dared not relax and they were all on high alert.
After listening for a while, Mo Yu found it boring, so he turned around and quietly left.
He now has the ability to automatically translate languages, so there is no need for him to learn the common language of humans for the time being.
After leaving the Tazhai Library, Mo Yu went straight to the Rune Mage Tower which had been built last night.
In fact, you can have a leisurely breakfast in the morning, visit the Tazhai Library and then see this exclusive building.
This is enough to show that Mo Yu is a ruthless person, the kind of ruthless person who can resist opening the express package.
The Rune Mage Tower was built on the east side of the lord's courtyard, not far away, about two hundred meters away.
At first glance, it is tall and very conspicuous.
The entire Rune Mage Tower is built with gray-white rocks, the same color from top to bottom, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with multiple layers of cylinders spiraling upward.
There are five floors in total, and a row of neatly arranged rune golems stand on the open space below, like soldiers in formation.
"Is it a dedicated building with its own troops, or can it recruit troops?"
With doubts, Mo Yu opened the attribute panel of the Rune Mage Tower.
