In the territory, Xiang Tiange's mood was completely unaffected by the criticism on the chat channel. Instead, he was in an extremely good mood.
After yesterday's battle and with the help of the special medicinal liquid, Xiang Tiange felt that he had become stronger. He was now filled with powerful energy.
Unfortunately, Xiang Yi and the others had left early in the morning, so he didn't dare to go out alone.
Since he had nothing to do, Xiang Tiange came to the border of the territory and carefully sized up the five magic crystal cannons.
Xiang Tiange had seen the power of these cannons.
It was unbelievably powerful.
If all five cannons were fired at the same time, even a 6-star monster would be killed. This kind of killing weapon was too precious, and it was the most powerful combat force in the territory after Hathaway.
It was definitely a good thing for the defense of his territory.
In fact, it was quite good for external attacks.
Unknowingly, Xiang Tiange had taken a stroll around the territory. Some little elves were still working in the fields, and when they saw Xiang Tiange, they greeted him enthusiastically.
Xiang Tiange also responded with a smile.
"Should we consider building a city wall or something?" When they came to a corner of the farm, Hathaway also appeared and said.
"Um?" Xiang Tiange was slightly stunned.
"City walls?"
"Of course! In this world, there are many monsters. If you don't have a city wall, how do you think you can defend against them?" Hathaway said matter-of-factly.
Xiang Tiange immediately understood.
However, he also frowned.
"I'm afraid this will be a bit troublesome. Our territory is still small, and we can build it if we work together, but how will we build it once our territory continues to expand? This is a big project, and I don't think a city wall is suitable?" Xiang Tiange said.
Ancient city walls often required a lot of manpower and resources, and Xiang Tiange did not want to waste them.
Hathaway didn't expect Xiang Tiange to say this.
However, after thinking about it carefully, what Xiang Tiange said wasn't without reason. Xiang Tiange's territory would definitely expand rapidly, and with his strength, ordinary lords wouldn't be his match.
"Then how are you going to defend against the attacks of a large group of monsters and even the attacks of other tribes in the lord's world? Your current strength is considered pretty good among the lords, but it's not worth mentioning in front of the other tribes and major forces in the lord's world!" Hathaway said.
"Without the city walls, you will have no means of defense."
Xiang Tiange frowned. He was also thinking about the same question.
"How does the territory expand?"
"I don't know about this. You'll have to ask the system!" Hathaway shook her head.
Xiang Tiange was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Is there anything you don't know?"
"Nonsense, I'm not a God!" Hathaway scolded.
Xiang Tiange laughed. He then began to ask the system in his heart. He had to think about it carefully.
"System, how does the territory expand?"
The system ignored him at first.
"System?" Xiang Tiange asked again.
Finally, the system replied.
[Information regarding the expansion of the lord's territory has been sent to the host. Please take a look at it!]
Xiang Tiange quickly thanked it and began to examine it carefully.
After a while, he understood.
It was really different from what he had imagined.
There were two ways to expand the territory.
The first was an invasion!
Once an area has been occupied, it would become part of the lord's forces range, and the territory would belong to the lord.
For example, invading the surrounding tribes and the territory of the natives.
This was the most normal and common method to surround the land!
The second was to destroy the lords of the same kind.
This method of expansion was even more peculiar. It was not just a simple occupation of the territory, but through the system, it would increase the scope of the core territory!
The system's control was the same as Xiang Tiange's territory range which was within a 1000-meter radius!
This was the best and most secure way. Even the defeated lord's troops and population would be taken in to become the power of the victorious lord.
Apart from that, the most important point was that this kind of territory was not static.
When a place had developed to the extreme and could no longer develop, the territory could also change.
A lord had a total of three chances to move their territory.
Of course, it required lord points and strength to be able to bring the entire territory to an unfamiliar place and re-develop it!
For example, moving from the edge of the world to the inside, or even the core!
Throughout the entire process, no matter how it changed, the lord's core area of control would not change.
In other words, the range of the system's reward allocation was fixed!
Even if he were to move to another place in the future, it would still be his core, as long as he was willing.
Xiang Tiange was relieved after understanding this.
"So that's how it is!" Xiang Tiange muttered to himself and immediately made a decision.
"We need to build a city wall, but it doesn't need to be particularly tall for the time being. After we annex the surrounding territories, the core area will also expand. This one-kilometer area is far from enough. When we have a suitable area, enough to become a core city, we will build a real city wall protection and create a core city!"
Hathaway didn't expect Xiang Tiange to think so far ahead, but she still nodded in agreement.
This idea was not wrong.
"We can ask the Earth Elves for help. With them, we'll get twice the result with half the effort!" Hathaway said.
Xiang Tiange nodded and began to ponder carefully.
Building a city wall was not an easy task.
Right now, the only people he could work with were a group of Undead Warriors, but there were only 35 of them. The rest were just a group of little elves. Xiang Tiange felt that it was too cruel to let them do such rough work.
A city wall with a radius of one kilometer was four kilometers in total. Even if it was a simplified version, it was still a large project.
And if they didn't build it, just as Hathaway said, once the safety protection period was over, it would be really dangerous.
Safety first, it was better to build it.
He could only work hard!
Xiang Tiange had been thinking about this for the entire morning. After much thought, the simplest way was to pile stones.
This was the simplest!
At noon, the group of Undead Warriors returned, and Xiang Tiange voiced his thoughts.
Xiang Yi and the others immediately agreed. Even the little elves were very enthusiastic.
"Master, we can do it too!" The Earth Elf hurriedly said.
"No need, we'll work harder. You can rest!" Xiang Tiange shook his head. He didn't really believe in their abilities.
The little elves were very smart. When they saw Xiang Tiange's disbelieving look, a few Earth Elves instantly flashed and directly merged with the earth.
Then, an incredible scene appeared. An earth wall quickly formed.
Within the span of tens of breaths, a three feet long and two feet high earth wall was built.
"This..." Xiang Tiange was extremely stunned.
"Don't be surprised. They are Earth Elves, and they control the power of the earth. Controlling the earth is their innate ability. If you want to build a city wall, they can help you a lot. Just let them help you!" Hathaway said indifferently, not surprised at all by this, as if it was only natural.
Xiang Tiange was both surprised and delighted.
With their abilities, it would be much more convenient.
"Good, in the future, we will fight during the day and slowly build the city walls at night. With the city walls, our territory will be truly safe!" Xiang Tiange said.
"Yes!" The group of people responded in unison.
