Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

While Lauren was actively researching how to upgrade the arrow tower, after the investigation and discussion of the construction department, the plan for repairing the arrow tower was quickly drawn up.

"My lord, this arrow tower is an ordinary three-story arrow tower. The second and third floors of the arrow tower are attack floors. Each floor can provide 15 attack positions. The two floors can accommodate 30 people in total.

The advantage of this type of arrow tower is that the construction cost is low and the construction difficulty is small.

The disadvantage is that the attack direction is single, the number of people can be accommodated is small, and the defense is relatively weak, unable to resist the bombardment of siege weapons.

Based on the damage of this arrow tower, if you can send 50 people, we are confident that it will be repaired within 7 days.

Another completely damaged arrow tower will take 15 days to rebuild..."

Looking at the middle-aged man reporting in front of him, Lauren nodded slowly.

"Rebuild this arrow tower first, and talk about the other one after a while." First get the blueprints for the construction of the Element Tower, and then talk about it. There are not so many resources invested in the other arrow tower.

"The construction department currently has 30 people, and I will equip you with 20 more people. After 7 days, I will see a brand new arrow tower."

After getting the promise, the middle-aged man and his companions immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, my lord, we will do our best to fulfill your will."

Lauren nodded in satisfaction. The effect of the arrow tower rising is really exciting.

After arranging the construction task of the arrow tower, the number of available residents is less than 120. Except for some old and weak people who have no labor force, the available labor force may be less than 100.

Looking at the Arrow Tower, Lauren turned his attention to the city wall... The Arrow Tower can be upgraded with the power of the soul, so is the same for the city wall?

With a thought, the system's notification sounded immediately.

"Ding~ Do you want to consume 10,000 soul power to upgrade the wooden city wall into a gray city wall?"

"Ding~ The power of the soul is not enough to improve."

"Ding~ The gray city wall has not been built yet, and the promotion failed."

Looking at the system prompt, Lauren narrowed his eyes slightly.

Do you need 10,000 soul power to raise the city wall? Directly 10 times higher than the arrow tower.

However, the city wall, like the arrow tower, needs to be built before it can be upgraded.

Does this improvement make sense?

Or... the system consumes the power of the soul to upgrade the level to perform actions such as enchanting the city wall, so that it has characteristics similar to the attribute of the territory?

After thinking for a while, Lauren shook his head. There was too little information, and he couldn't make an effective judgment. He could only wait for the arrow tower to be rebuilt and upgraded to see the effect.

By the time everything was done, the sky had already dimmed.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the city wall—the army that had gone out to explore the map around the territory returned.

After the soldiers guarding the city wall confirmed that there was no danger, they immediately notified the soldiers below to open the city gate.

The wooden city gate was opened, and the tall figure of the barbarian chief Yas first appeared in Lauren's sight.

The sturdy barbarian is like an iron tower, and even the ground trembles slightly when he walks around.

This is a true warrior, powerful and fierce.

Wearing a black cloak, the kobold blood mage Sim followed closely behind.

The caster raised his head high, his eyes dismissive of his surroundings.

Behind the two are two teams of kobolds and two teams of barbarians. 10 people make up a team, for a total of 40 people.

The barbarian in armor was two heads taller than the kobold next to him, and the contrast between the two sides was extremely obvious.

What is even more eye-catching is that part of the army actually carried more than a dozen wild deer with snow-white bodies and horns on their heads.

These wild deer exude a faint wave of magic power, obviously they are not ordinary beasts.

"Good day,

Lord Laurent! "

After Yas saw Lauren, he was very excited and came to salute him.

The sound of the urn urn aired.

"Today we inspected the area three kilometers around the territory, and found more than a dozen sharp-horned white deer gathered in the lower reaches of the lake..."

Kobold blood mage Sim followed Yas's words and said triumphantly.

"Master Luo Lun, the sharp-horned white deer can control wind elements at an extremely fast speed. If I hadn't used magic power to block their perception, today's hunt would definitely not be possible..."

Yas glared at Sim who was wearing a black cloak and looked extremely burnt.

This damn kobold knows how to take credit in front of adults.

Lauren nodded slowly.

"Aside from the monsters, are there other harvests? Is there any danger around the territory?"

The endless wasteland is not a safe place. In this area with many mineral veins, it is not surprising to encounter a money-grubbing dragon in a certain cave.

Especially the existence of the lake next to it made Lauren dare not be careless.

There is not enough food in the endless wasteland, and water sources often represent food, which can attract a large number of monsters to gather.

The presence of ferocious frogmen in the lake is the best example.

Talking about this question, Yas's face became a bit serious.

"Lord Lauren, we found some strange things in the lower reaches of the lake..."

Lauren narrowed his eyes slightly.

"A beast race appeared downstream?"

Yas shook his head.

"No, the further downstream, the fewer monsters there are, and even ordinary beasts can't be seen in a certain area."

Lauren frowned.

The number of monsters near the water source is logically quite large, and there is only one possibility for an area to lose traces of monsters—the surrounding area is a hunting ground of a powerful race or monsters.

The area of ​​a few kilometers is too small, and with the radiation range of the City of Glory Moon, the two sides will inevitably collide.

"Can you determine what race it is?"

Sim's black cloak fluttered behind him, and he rushed to answer with a grin.

"Master Lauren, I smell wild boars, lizardmen, and raging brown bears in that area."

wild boar? lizard Man? Raging brown bear?

Relevant memories immediately appeared in Lauren's mind.

The wild boar is the most numerous life among the orcs. They are omnivorous and eat everything. They can give birth to more than a dozen babies in one litter. They have exaggerated reproductive ability and can be seen everywhere in the endless wasteland.

The raging brown bear is an extremely large bear monster. It is said that the other party is the descendant of the hell brown bear. It has a part of evil power in its body. It is powerful and tyrannical, and cannot be tamed.

Needless to say, the Lizardman is the greatest enemy of the Silver Moon Kingdom, and also the public enemy of mankind.

In the endless wasteland, as long as humans and lizardmen meet each other, they will definitely attack mercilessly and fight the bloodiest battle.

"Expand the search area tomorrow, except for that area, other locations must not be missed.

Make sure to find out everything that is dangerous for us. "

This sudden unknown threat made Lauren vigilant.

The wild boars are not so capable of making an area even without wild beasts, so they can be the first to eliminate them.

The raging brown bear is fine. Although the monster is powerful, it can also handle it.

But if there is a lizardman territory near Huiyue City.

That ending is hard to say.

War could break out at any time.
