Because I can't guarantee that relying on the existing defense facilities in Southwest City will definitely be able to block the opponent's attack.

So on the way back to the southwest city, Lei Laohu issued an order to recruit all the troops that can be recruited in the city and build a large number of defense facilities to Leonardo, the hero in the city. He even issued an order to Smith, who was stationed in the southeast city, ordering him to give up his garrisoning work on the southeast city and quickly rush to the southwest city to support him.

As for why Lei Laohu is sure that there are enemies chasing behind him, and there must be heroes, there are two reasons.

The first point is the judgment he made when he saw the situation outside the northwest city.

He guessed that the situation in Northwest City had two possibilities; one was that the lord of Northwest City was hot-headed, rushed out to fight with the enemy and was killed by the opponent, and the city was taken down by the enemy. After that, the enemy set up another trap and waited for the troops from other cities to come to support.

Another possibility is that the city lord of the Northwest City betrayed the Light camp and defected to the Dark camp. Such things are not uncommon. Didn’t the commander of heaven also betrayed heaven and become a demon king in hell? Not to mention warlike people like the barbarians, they are willing to do anything as long as they have the opportunity to fight.

Moreover, through Lei Laohu's observation, the Northwest City was too clean and there was no trace of battle at all. Even if you tried hard to clean it up, there would always be some clues left. However, the Northwest City did not leave any trace of battle at all, so he believed that the possibility of the second situation was relatively high.

But no matter what the situation is, the enemy must have at least one hero, because with the IQ of the Hawk Witch, Lei Laohu completely does not believe that it can do such a delicate thing.

The second point is based on Lei Laohu's guess about the advanced purple mission, thanks to the crash in the forest, otherwise he would not have thought of this.

He had already confirmed that the purple-level advanced mission was to cultivate players, and he was not intentionally making things difficult for players.

Then this advanced task will allow players to quickly experience a simplified battle process from city construction to rescue war, to city defense war, and finally siege war.

Lei Laohu's construction of the southwest city is the process of building a city. The task is to teach players how to build a city and experience the fun of building a city.

The rescue war, which can also be said to be a field battle, is Lei Laohu's assistance to Southeast City. It is mainly to teach players how to command a large-scale battle in the wild and experience the battle between more than one troop of troops.

As for the battle to defend the city, it should be the battle in Northeast City. It should be said that the terrain of Northeast City looks almost the same as that of Southeast City. In fact, the barbarian hero should be given priority. After all, there are not many enemies near the barbarian hero, so it is still easy to rescue him. However, Lei Laohu didn't expect this at that time, and his own military strength was there, so he took a strong attack.

Regarding the battle to defend the city, Lei Laohu speculated that it should be in the southwest city, otherwise the city would be just a logistics base, which was obviously unreasonable, so the enemy would put a big push into the situation and carry out a large-scale battle to defend the city, which is also very likely.

Of course, the siege battle should be the final decisive battle, attacking the dungeon city, and Lei Laohu was a little confused about it. The Northwest City, would it take another siege battle there?

Based on these two reasons, Lei Laohu guessed that the enemy must be following behind him, and there were a large number of troops. After all, the defending party not only had towering city walls, but also the city's defensive buildings and the existence of arrow towers, which made the defending party very obvious advantages.

Moreover, the troops on the guarding side can be unlimited. The troops on the guarding side do not limit how many troops they lead. As long as there are enough troops, they can participate in the battle on the guarding side.

So Lei Laohu guessed that there were a lot of enemies, very many.

Since the enemy has a lot of troops, let's consume it. Use these mummified wild troops to consume the enemy's strength, and by the way, you can delay the enemy's marching speed and give yourself more time to prepare.

With such high-speed advancement without any losses, it took a day to enter the scope of the southwest city.

Lei Laohu's sharpshooter troops also lost all the moment before entering the southwest city. In addition to 42 royal griffins, only 10 mummies were left in his troops.

As soon as he stepped into the city of the southwest city, Lei Laohu breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could take a break, he strode into the council hall of the southwest city and began to take over the construction of the entire city and arrange defense work.

Yes, the Southwest City still has only the lowest level meeting hall, and it is still a level 1 city. This makes Lei Laohu feel helpless about Leonardo's internal affairs ability. Ordinary heroes are ordinary heroes after all, and they are really far from the jobs they are not good at and famous heroes. Such heroes are only worthy of being cannon fodder.

Slightly shook his head, Lei Laohu checked the available troops in the city through the control panel of the meeting hall.

There are 1 brigade of spearmen, 4 squadrons of halberds, 3 squadrons of archers, 2 squadrons of sharpshooters, 42 royal griffins, 10 mummies, and 4 heroes.

After a little thought, Lei Laohu directly assigned the work of these heroes.

"Kenlohager, you lead 2 teams, 24 royal griffins quickly leave the southwest city and find a place to hide them near the city. I will do everything about this army with you." Lei Laohu divided more than half of the royal griffins and handed them over to Kenlohager, and gave him great power.

Because he believed that Kenlohag must be a person who couldn't sit still, but no matter what, he was a famous general and hero, with a certain judgment on the battlefield. Instead of letting him defend the city, it would be better to give him some troops and let him go, and perhaps he could also have the effect of a surprise weapon.

Offense is the best defensive method, and Lei Laohu believes that this sentence must have its own reason.

"Okay!" Kenlohager responded loudly, then led two teams of royal griffins away from Southwest City with an excited look on his face.

"Keanu, Smith, you follow Leonardo's orders and are mainly responsible for the defense of the long-range troops."

"Yes!" the three of them responded in unison, then left the meeting hall and began to set up defenses on the city wall.

The main reason why Lei Laohu continued to arrange for Leonardo to command the other two heroes to fight was Leonardo's strategic skill - leadership skills.

Although the wisdom of ordinary heroes is much lower than that of famous heroes and does not have the highest personality of famous heroes, every ordinary hero has his own job.

From a certain perspective, ordinary heroes are not necessarily worse than famous heroes. Just based on comprehensive consideration, ordinary heroes are not as comprehensive as famous heroes.

This can be judged from the strategic skills attached to ordinary heroes. For example, Leonardo, whose initial strategic skills are leadership skills. Although leadership skills increase morale and the number of troops they lead, its hidden effect is that this hero is good at leading troops to fight.

If we only talk about leadership ability, Leonardo, as an ordinary hero, is not necessarily worse than some famous generals and heroes who are not good at leading the army, and may even be much stronger. For example, some famous generals and heroes who are good at magic skills are much worse than Leonardo who has leadership skills in leading the army.

After everyone left the meeting hall, Lei Laohu checked the remaining resources in Southwest City.

After seeing the remaining resources, Lei Laohu looked helpless and slapped his forehead, so he started the construction of the city.

Leonardo is indeed not good at city construction. Although Lei Laohu has already given orders to the other party, the other party has only recruited all the troops in the city and is not so concerned about the construction of defensive facilities. At least the Southwest City still has a large amount of ordinary resources, which is completely enough for the Southwest City to upgrade to level 5 cities, and there is still a remaining one.

Without any hesitation, Lei Laohu started the upgrade work directly. He first upgraded the city to level 5 in one breath, and then built the most basic defense facilities.

In this way, there are not many gold coins and ordinary resources left in Southwest City, but there are still a lot of reserves for scarce resources.

However, Lei Laohu did not, but stopped the construction work after continuing to build the market, blacksmith shop, fraternity, lighthouse, and first-level magic guild.

The brotherhood can increase the morale of the defending troops. Needless to say, the defending party must be surrounded by the enemy, so morale is very important.

The role of the blacksmith shop is also very obvious. Because the ammunition consumes in the long-range troops in the city defense battle is huge, a large amount of ammunition is needed to supplement the consumption.

The lighthouse can be warned in advance so that you can know the enemy's movements in a timely manner.

In addition to providing Leonardo and three other people with magic, the first-level magic guild also has a hidden function. This function is not known to the Lei Hu who has been reborn.

Accelerate the magic recovery of the city-defying heroes. This is the hidden attribute of the Magic Guild. The effect of this attribute is very obvious, because magic can influence the outcome of a battle in some cases.

As for the market, although it seems to have little effect, it plays the most tremendous role for the current Southwest City. After building these buildings, ordinary resources are basically exhausted. Lei Laohu needs to use the market to exchange for some gold coins and ordinary resources.

Leaving the newly upgraded Congress, Lei Laohu, came directly to the market.

Although it is a dungeon, players can still trade in the market. However, the trading target of this market can only be the merchants in this dungeon. The scope of the transaction is relatively narrow and the purchasing power is not that strong.

Although the purchasing power is not strong, in order to raise materials faster, Lei Laohu set the sale price slightly lower than the market price. Soon, all the scarce resources were sold cleanly and replaced with two ordinary resources such as wood and ore, as well as a small amount of gold coins.

After completing the transaction, he rushed to the Magic Guild. This time, he did not allow the three heroes to choose magic by themselves, but directly suggested that the three of them learn three magics, namely dispersing, bloodthirsty magic, and the Holy Spirit's blessing.

(Basic Dispel **: Water system level 1 auxiliary magic, eliminate the influence of negative magic of your own team 1)

(Basic Bloodthirsty Magic: Fire-level 1 auxiliary magic, your own team's attack increased by 30, and lasted for wisdom minutes)

(Basic Holy Spirit Blessing: Water-level 1 auxiliary magic, your own team has a % chance of 1.5 times damage, lasting for wise minutes)
