Chapter 1255: The Tenth Level Lord's Mansion is Completed
A familiar prompt sound then rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[You consumed 1000000 stone, 100000 wood, 100000 thatch, 60000 iron ingots, 60000 copper ingots, 20000 fine steel ingots, 1000 colorful ingots]
[The Lord's Mansion is being upgraded to Level 9, please wait...]
As the prompt sounded, a giant colorful light curtain rose rapidly, completely covering the entire lord's mansion.
Under the illumination of the dazzling colorful light curtain, the entire territory was as bright as day, looking extremely spectacular, like the dawn breaking through the darkness of night.
"If it was before, I would still worry about whether other forces would notice it and then pose a threat to the territory, but now that the human world has surrendered, even without the coverage of the Vision Tower, there is no need to worry about these things."
Lei Xiao looked at the dazzling light curtain that he had never seen before, and his heart was filled with excitement.
This time, the range covered by the giant light curtain has obviously extended a lot further outward from the original area of the mansion, and its height has increased. This undoubtedly means that the mansion will usher in an earth-shaking change!
Listening to the intensive construction sounds coming from the light curtain, Lei Xiao's face was full of anticipation.
Putting aside the scale, further upgrading the mansion will not only attract more people, but will also greatly improve various aspects such as the manufacturing of magic arrays and solidity.
Especially in terms of solidity, it is undoubtedly the foundation of his existence in this land. Although under his careful deployment and strict protection of the territory, the lord's mansion is difficult to be directly attacked.
But this is my lifeline. Naturally, the stronger it is, the less worries I will have.
"Judging from the momentum, the upgrade will probably take quite some time. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to prepare for the expansion of the territory."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately started telepathically summoning all the commanders' subordinates and main force subordinates in the territory.
Since the momentum of the upgrade of the lord's mansion was so astonishing that it had already attracted the attention of the subordinates, so in just a moment, all the subordinates gathered around Lei Xiao, and they were all very excited.
In particular, the commander's subordinates and some main subordinates such as Ye Cang who did not attend the meeting because they stayed at their posts and advanced to the fifth level, were so excited that they could not express it in words after hearing the news that Lei Xiao was promoted to the emperor of the human race.
"I understand your feelings. We will definitely celebrate after the coronation ceremony. But as I have always said, the human race's return to the world is only a small step for us. There are still many thorns ahead. There is no room for us to relax."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly at first, then said seriously: "So, we still have a lot to do, such as expanding the territory after the upgrade of the lord's mansion is completed."
After saying that, Lei Xiao described his thoughts to his subordinates.
"As expected of you, Lord! Are you going to build a territory that looks like a real palace? And are you going to designate the territory as the Lord's imperial capital? That's really something to look forward to!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, a hint of excitement suddenly appeared on Ward's old face, and the other subordinates had the same expression.
The old butler rolled up his sleeves and, together with several other maids, used the items in his storage ring to build a temporary courtyard shining with crystal stones, and then respectfully invited Lei Xiao to take a seat.
Then he spread out a blank drawing and a feather pen for Lei Xiao, ready to take notes.
Lei Xiao took the hot tea handed to him by the maid and nodded with satisfaction.
Although he had said it lightly, building a palace-sized territory was undoubtedly an extremely large and sophisticated project, and it was by no means as simple as he had previously considered only for safety and practicality.
Not only does it require macro-level considerations of building layout, deployment of magic traps and magic towers, but also other infrastructure issues such as drainage.
Moreover, we also need to consider at the micro level how to maximize the grand style of the territory, garden design, path paving and other various details, which is indeed not a one-day job.
In addition, the continued expansion of the territory mansion and the three miracle buildings, as well as the issue of reserving space for other subsequent miracle buildings, must naturally be taken into consideration.
"But all I need to do is coordinate everything and provide a framework. These specific issues will be solved by my subordinates with relevant expertise."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao described his idea of first building the inner city and then expanding the outer city.
"Your Lord's idea is very exciting! I happen to have some knowledge of building layout and infrastructure, especially important places like the palace that require strict defense."
Hearing this, Ye Cang, who was extremely excited, took a step forward and nodded thoughtfully, saying: "But just as the Lord said, this is indeed a huge project."
"Although the Lord has abundant construction resources and the building blueprints are becoming more and more complete, so there is no need to worry about these matters, but precise planning and design are essential."
Ye Cang pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and concluded, "So, just like the Lord's idea of building the inner city first and then the outer city, we might as well start with the core area of the palace and then gradually improve the entire palace."
"Yes, it is indeed the best choice to build the inner court area of the palace where the lord lives first. We only need to focus on the lord's mansion and the three miracle buildings."
The old butler Ward, who also studied the palace, nodded and agreed: "In this way, given the relatively limited area of the inner court, the "Fortress Wall" barrier can still easily cover the entire area, and the security of the territory can also be guaranteed!"
"That's just what I want. Let's do it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and his subordinates immediately started to work.
Since both the old butler Ward and Ye Cang have done some research on the palace, the former's focus is on infrastructure and garden layout, while the latter's focus is on the deployment of magic towers and magic traps, they can be said to have a tacit cooperation.
In addition, Xueya, Fasha, Gars and several other commanders' subordinates who were nobles were also quite knowledgeable about this, so after brainstorming, it didn't take long before a highly complete interior design drawing appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"The lord's mansion and the three miracle buildings are located in the core of the inner court, with several courtyards and gardens in between. The outer perimeter of the inner court is completely surrounded by a city wall, with rows of barracks and a large number of magic towers deployed in sequence inside the city wall?"
Lei Xiao picked up the neatly organized design drawings and began to observe them.
This is almost the same as the current upgrade of the territory, but the magic towers arranged in sequence around the inner side of the city wall, as well as the reserved locations for laying other protective and detection barriers, have undoubtedly greatly enhanced the security of the territory.
The newly added gardens, fountains, sculptures, complete drainage systems and other supporting facilities have allowed the territory to reach an unprecedented artistic level and magnificent momentum, which is extremely satisfying.
"This is exactly the garden I had in mind. That's it."
Lei Xiao put down the blueprints, nodded to the commanders and subordinates, and said, "Everyone go back and prepare. Tell the soldiers to pack up their belongings. When the mansion is upgraded, I will select the corresponding building blueprints. Then we will demolish the old buildings and start the construction of the new inner court."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
All the commanders and their subordinates took their leave, and the territory became more lively.
Since all the subordinates in the territory had already been issued storage rings, and a second one with a larger capacity was issued after Lei Xiao integrated the resources of the human world, it was easy to put all the items including beds, wardrobes, weapons and equipment into them.
After everything was deployed, Lei Xiao's gaze fell on the still shining colorful light curtain and he nodded thoughtfully.
Along with the upgrade of the mansion, there is another extremely important thing, which is naturally summoning new servants.
"At this stage, the population of the territory is "3995/4000", including the initial peasant squadron, all subordinates have reached the third level of strength at least."
Lei Xiao opened the territory's overview interface and began to check it out.
"According to the rules, after the mansion is upgraded, the population of the territory will reach 8000. This undoubtedly means that I will have four more squadrons to summon."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao checked the number of recruitment orders he had.
"Currently, I can receive 10 second-level recruitment orders or 60 first-level recruitment orders every day."
"Although some of it was consumed in the process of collecting subordinates, there is still a lot of stock."
"Originally, I received 10 second-level recruitment orders in the early stage, but as I became more proficient in using my talents and was able to control the direction of my upgrades to a certain extent, I started to receive more first-level recruitment orders."
"After all, a first-level recruitment order can be directly upgraded to a third-level after a qualitative change, while a second-level recruitment order is still mostly a third-level after a qualitative change, and only a small number can reach the fourth level."
"Especially after my talent reached level 2, I only received 60 first-level recruitment orders, because after the upgrade, this will steadily produce 60 third-level strongmen for me every day."
"Because of this, I currently have a total of 1500 unupgraded first-level recruitment orders and 160 unupgraded second-level recruitment orders."
"This undoubtedly means that I will have 1500 more third-tier subordinates and more second-tier subordinates. In fact, it's about the same. After all, with my training, the newly summoned second-tier subordinates will soon reach the third-tier level."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and made a decision in his heart.
Then first summon 1 battalion, 5 squadrons of third-level subordinates and 2 battalions of second-level subordinates, totaling 3500 people.
After all, after the mansion is upgraded, I can receive more recruitment orders every day, and I can quickly fill the gap with the third-level subordinate team. Moreover, I also need to leave a certain number of people to prepare for the conquest.
Having made up his mind, looking at the lord's mansion which still showed no signs of completion, Lei Xiao simply went to the nearby half-elf barrier and the snow wolf tribe's settlement respectively.
While expressing his condolences to the two surrendered races, he also decided to transfer them back to the territory completely and ordered them to start making preparations immediately. As the territory expanded, it was only a matter of time before their homes were covered.
Finally, after the reluctant farewell of Shi Feng and other members of the Snow Wolf Clan, Lei Xiao had a barbecue and returned to the territory.
Returning to the vicinity of the lord's mansion, Lei Xiao looked up.
Compared with the bustling construction sounds just now, the sound in the colorful light curtain was obviously slower at this time, and a black building outline that was much larger than before was faintly visible in it.
"Is it almost there?"
Lei Xiao looked at the new mansion that was gradually taking shape, and a hint of anticipation once again appeared on his face.
This undoubtedly means that the upgrade of the mansion has reached the final stage.
Sure enough, just as Lei Xiao drank a cup of tea, the construction sound completely stopped, the colorful light curtain began to dim, and a prompt sound came into Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, your lord's residence has been upgraded to Lv:10! ]
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao put down his teacup and walked out of the makeshift open-air courtyard.
I saw tiny dots of energy particles blending into the night sky, and the colorful light curtain covering the mansion was mostly dissipated, and a brand new lord's mansion appeared.
"My goodness, this is almost as good as Lion Castle."
Amid the voices of amazement from his subordinates, Lei Xiao looked up at the giant gray castle in front of him, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
Compared with the previous one, the floor area of the new lord’s mansion has increased by more than half, and the height has also increased a lot, making it look extremely heavy overall.
Whether it is the majestic overall appearance or the thick and tall castle walls, it is like a giant sitting or lying in the dark, which makes people feel awe.
In particular, the arrow towers distributed around the castle are not only taller and more spacious, but their surfaces are also covered with metal, which makes them obviously more solid than one level higher.
Not only that, there are also obvious traces of metal on the foundation and corners of the castle's walls, shining with a frosted glow in the dark.
This undoubtedly means that the entire castle is transforming from stone to a more solid metal texture.
"No wonder it consumed so many metal resources. It is indeed extraordinary."
Lei Xiao's gaze wandered back and forth across the surface of the castle, and he further noticed through the window that the original four-story mansion had now become a five-story building!
These are not the most important things. The most gratifying thing is that Lei Xiao keenly discovered.
The defensive spells that were originally only cast on key areas such as the castle gate and windows now completely covered the entire castle, making the entire castle shimmer with magical light from time to time, giving it a sense of security.
"This is much stronger than before. Even I, a level 5, 5-star, can't break it alone."
Lei Xiao felt the heaviness brought by this special defensive barrier and walked straight towards the castle gate.
"This is a long-awaited upgrade of the mansion. I wonder what kind of changes will happen inside the castle?"
When he got closer, Lei Xiao looked at the castle gate which had become no different from a city gate, and the anticipation on his face became more and more obvious.
Without hesitation, he easily pushed open the door of the mansion and strode into the mansion.
