Chapter 406: Town Construction
Pointing to Morga, Dorik joked: "It's a lot of our relationship for so many years. It's true that you came so quickly and didn't ask about my situation, just ask about it."
The old village chief Molga laughed and replied, "I don't know what you are like. You see, you don't have a few broken arms and legs now. What are you going to ask? Tell me how you went to the capital this time."
Doric shook his head helplessly for his old friend's straightforwardness.
He smiled and pulled out a scroll and an item carved like a crossed double axe from his arms and said, "I have lived up to the lord's entrustedness. I finally got what I should do this time. This is the document and military talisman that the Empire allowed to build towns. From now on, our territory can not only build standard barracks, but also build training grounds and martial arts field. With the title of Lord Lord, the number of troops can be allowed to reach 5,000. If it is a baron, it is 10,000. Of course, this is just the limit for medium and high-level troops. The Empire does not have too strict restrictions on low-level soldiers, but generally the default is to twice the number of troops allowed to lead."
After taking the document and military talisman from Dorik's hand, Li Ran nodded at him with a smile. The latter smiled mysteriously and said, "Lord, do you know why I sent me a message and asked me to wait for me for two days?"
After looking at Dorik, Li Ran and the old village chief Molga couldn't help but shake their heads. Wasn't they waiting for this news?
Seeing the two of them with such expressions, Dorik finally said after a while: "Lord, didn't you give me 100,000 gold coins to handle this matter? At that time, he was worried that there would be insufficient gold coins to go back to the capital, but this time I went back to do this matter, I didn't spend any gold coins."
At this time, Li Ran and Morga couldn't help but be curious because Dorik had said before. This matter usually costs money, not only the relevant procedures have to be passed, but also requires permission from many important figures in the capital. Generally speaking, it is normal to spend 200,000 gold coins, why is it so easy this time?
After a long time, Rick revealed the reason. It turned out that the Empire's troops stationed in the Dark Forest were not in good condition during this period. The large-scale attack of creatures in the Dark Forest forced the legion led by Duke Sels back to defense, causing many monsters to rush out and attack many nearby small and medium-sized territories, and there was a tendency to spread. Therefore, the Empire's policy during this period was to encourage local forces to develop to fight against the dark creatures that ran out of the Dark Forest, so this time it went so smoothly.
Unexpectedly, there was another reason. Li Ran and Morga couldn't help but feel a little happy, and even Doric felt that his luck was really good this time.
Although the Khanlok Empire was their immediate superior, on the battle map, which is what they called the Kingdom of Gods, they did not have a strong sense of sovereignty over the empire. Including the Dorik family, they mostly regarded the existence of the empire as a bigger protective umbrella. At most, they just helped to work, and the main thing was the development of their respective families.
After a while of happiness, the old village chief Molga said anxiously again: "Where is your gold coins, hand over quickly. Now the territory can be expanded. I am worried that I have no money to buy materials."
Doric looked at him and replied with a smile: "Then I didn't think so much. I spent all my money on summoning soldiers."
"It's all spent?" The old village chief Molga couldn't help but wail.
Dorik smiled and said, "Yes, I bought them all."
"You~~" the old village chief Molga shook his head helplessly, and then his eyes lit up and asked, "You are lying. The empire is now in a tight dark forest, so it must have supported it there. There are still soldiers to call you."
After looking at Li Ran who was smiling at him, Dorik replied with a smile: "Considering the current situation of the territory, I went to the capital underground market this time and bought 100 Modo Rioters and 50 Gaoyan Taurens, and two high-level golemns that the lord asked me to pay attention to last time, as well as a magic card for the construction of a multiracial town with the highest specifications."
Li Ran asked in confusion: "What is a magic card for building a multiracial town?"
Before Dorik answered, the old village chief Molga explained: "It's just like the planning map, it's just a magical three-dimensional image. The magic card for multi-ethnic towns is built. It's a construction template suitable for a territory with multiple races coexisting. According to the characteristics and troops of each race, it will select the most suitable camp construction location. For example, if you want to place a slow-moving large biological camp in front of the main road, when the territory is attacked, they will hinder the rapid assembly of other troops. This is what it means."
Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but say, to put it bluntly, this thing is a model that can be planned by itself based on the actual situation of each territory. After confirming, it is just built according to the corresponding location above.
At this time, Li Ran took the construction card and tried to activate it with curiosity. The card flashed with white light, and a fluttering square scroll appeared in front of them, with an area similar to a round table.
At this time, Dorik said: "Lord, please put your hand on this scroll, think about the current appearance of the territory, and at the same time, think about the number and types of existing residents and troops in the territory."
Li Ran nodded, placed his hand on the scroll and closed his eyes. He thought silently according to Dorik's prompt. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a three-dimensional city-filled territory on the scroll and appeared in front of him.
According to their current location in the conference hall, Li Ran found that the planned territory was nearly ten times larger. If converted into the existing location of the territory, it would extend backwards and even approach the previous swamp lake.
"Old guy, are you sure you got it back? This is the planning map of the town territory? Why do I see that it is almost the same as the area of a third-level city?" Seeing the template in front of me, Lao Caichang asked hurriedly.
Dorik smiled and said, "Didn't I just said it? This is the highest-level town territory."
"This is simply unrealistic. If you want to say that it is possible to expand the existing territory by two or three times, but your construction template is too big. I am afraid that it will be enough for the entire race to live in," said the old village chief Molga, shook his head and said.
At this time, Li Ran looked at Dorik and found that the other party was also smiling at him. He understood in his heart that this was Dorik's disguised test of him, and the test of his pattern and mind was naturally his pattern and mind.
Li Ran smiled slightly and said to the old village chief Molga who was still talking to himself: "Don't be anxious. After all, we have expanded our territory. Although the plan is very detailed, we don't have to follow it all. We can build the buildings we urgently need now first."
Hearing this, the old village chief Molga looked a little slow, but Li Ran continued: "But in terms of scale, such as the outer city walls and main buildings, and the corresponding locations, we can refer to the standards and scales above. Even if Lord Dorik brings us this template, we have the confidence to complete it. Besides, don't you always want to give your fellow juniors a real home? As long as we establish such a town territory, it will be considered an explanation for them. Besides, we still have several minerals in the underground world. As long as we are not captured by others, most of the basic raw materials can be self-sufficient, so the biggest difficulty is the manpower and progress issue."
Unexpectedly, the lord still remembers what he said at that time. Not only the old village chief Molga was very moved, but even Doric, who was originally carrying the purpose of temptation, looked at Li Ran. The two of them had not spoken for a long time.
After a long time, two ringtones suddenly came from Li Ran’s ears, prompting Chekhov Dorik and Molhan Molga to show their loyalty to him. At the same time, the two slowly knelt on one knee and saluted Li Ran.
Li Ran hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up. With a smile on each other, Li Ran finally received the two he wanted to conquer the most. One of them was diligent in internal affairs and the other was good at diplomacy. With their wholehearted help, what he wanted to do would be much more convenient.
After giving his loyalty, the two men were less respectful to Li Ran, more kindness, less temptation and restraint in their words, but more directness and sincerity. Soon, they formulated priorities for the early construction project.
After Li Ran talked about the current situation in the underground world, he learned that the situation given by the undead forces was wrong, and the two who offered their loyalty expressed their views very directly.
Although the old village chief Molga was more worried, both of them suspected that the other party was doing it intentionally, but the territory could not break up with them for the time being. While staying alert, the longer the delay was, the better the territory's current development speed would be. This coincides with what Li Ran thought.
Dorik asked at this time: "Lord, then are you sure you are going to capture that dungeon territory next?"
Li Ran pointed without hesitation and said, "It is definitely necessary to capture it. This is not only because of the request of Grand Duke Renes. I asked Histan to pay attention to the territory before. Its location is located at the narrowest position in the underground world, just like entering the throat of the surface world. As long as we capture it, I will make a comprehensive arrangement there" (To be continued.)
