Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

302 Defensive Fortifications

To say that even gods had to be wary of such a weapon would be an exaggeration, but it was true that it held the potential to wipe out the Heavy Blade Warriors. It was that impressive!

If the god-hunting crossbow was used alongside alchemy cannons, the impact would be devastating, to say the least.

Unfortunately, the god-hunting Crossbow was still a little incomplete.

It had been too expensive to forge it. They had spent 100 tons of resources to forge one crossbow! If this thing was mass-produced, no one would be able to withstand it.

!!

There were still many underground areas that he could raid. He had only raided one area that belonged to the dwarves and had gained tens and thousands of units of mercury.

He needed to accumulate resources, so the dwarves could build the cannons. Otherwise, having such smart dwarves would be a waste, especially if he didn’t make use of their talents.

“Well done,” said Xu Yuan.

Eliza’s eyes lit up with delight.

“How long did it take to forge this one?” asked Xu Yuan.

“Too long,” said Eliza. “But the time needed to forge the weapon could be reduced to seven days. However, 30 apprentices will be needed to work on it.”

“Make use of the resources we have right now and prepare to forge another. I will make up for the lack of resources as soon as I can,” said Xu Yuan. “We need more god-hunting crossbows for battle.”

“Alright, Your Majesty. It will be my honor to oversee that.”

Su Wan had gone to refine the Mithril ores. She needed them to repair the Heavy Blade Warrior.

After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Su Wan walked to the front of the Dark Castle. She opened the attribute panel of the territory. She still needed to work hard to make improvements.

There were quite a number of buildings with untapped potential. They needed to be upgraded as soon as possible. The winery and food workshop needed to be developed more.

However, there wasn’t anything she could do to make it better right now. They needed more resources and more time to make Xu Yuan and her dream a reality.

In terms of territory defense, alchemy cannons, and god-hunting crossbows were great weapons. The construction of the Hurricane Arrow Tower was in full swing and was about to be completed. Coupled with that, the strength of the troops definitely offered some protection.

As for agriculture, Dragon Fruits, Dragon Drool Grass, wheat, rice, and the Hundred Night Flower Honey had been growing steadily. These were the backbone of their territory’s economy.

Su Wan had a lot of beneficial things she could use. The only thing she lacked right now was a suitable blueprint to develop the territory further.

She had no choice but to wait till she could upgrade the Territory Core.

The Heavy Blade Warriors were the most efficient troop she had at her disposal.

The Sandworms were also hatching. They had endless use and potential as well. Perhaps they could be used for travel in the future.

Xu Yuan sighed. The resources and benefits they had obtained were still not enough.

He fell into deep thought. Although they had obtained various useful treasures from their expeditions, these couldn’t be used for the development of the territory.

Sturdy walls needed to be built. The research and production of various things needed to be sped up. The city walls were essential when it came to the defense of the territory.

At night, Su Wan returned exhausted. She hugged Xu Yuan and fell asleep.

Two days later, Eliza approached the Dark Castle to report on recent developments.

“Your Majesty, My Lord, the Hurricane Arrow Tower has been completed!”

Su Wan was excited. She looked at the tower, which was about 20 meters tall.

She had a lot on her mind lately and had forgotten to pay attention to the progress of the tower. It was already completed!

The Hurricane Arrow Tower had three floors. Each floor was full of holes from where the Night Elves could shoot their arrows.

[Hurricane Arrow Tower]

[Level: Beginner]

[Characteristic: Arrows shot from the Arrow Tower will carry wind magic damage (40% increase in arrow flying speed, 40% increase in accuracy, 30% increase in attack speed; Increases the range of bows and crossbows by 100 meters. Can install 10 large-scale siege crossbows, increasing the range by 300 meters).]

[Beginner-level Arrow Tower can accommodate 60 people.]

[Upgrade Requirement: Gold, Wood, Stone, Iron, Crystal, Gemstone, Mercury.]

[Note: Arrow Tower with a special power. It will be the territory’s line of defense.]

The attributes of the Hurricane Arrow Tower were simply outstanding. Su Wan was satisfied with it. She went to inspect the interior of the tower.

At the entrance was a wide space where equipment and weapons could be piled up. There was a staircase that led to the upper floors.

The walls were made up of wood, stone, and steel. They were very sturdy. The walls also held inscriptions that glowed with magic.

When arrows were fired from the tower, they would be imbued with magic to make them extra lethal. The highest floor widened. Su Wan looked out from one of the big holes. She could see the desert on the horizon.

There were protruding areas where crossbows could be placed.

Su Wan was intrigued. The heavy crossbows could be used from here!

If she could build two more Hurricane Arrow Towers, it would be easier to deal with a large number of enemies.

The alchemy workshop was still under construction. Timo immediately started the work after he received 10,000 units of mercury.

Timo was extraordinary when it came to his work. He had already engraved the walls with magic arrays and inscriptions. The dense energy rolled out and dazzled everyone.

In the Dark Castle, the long wooden table had been removed from the center, and it was replaced by a black stone platform. The platform was engraved with magical inscriptions.

Su Wan saw Timo as she came downstairs. “Well done!”

The eyes of the dwarf held determination and resolve, but he turned a little red at being praised.

Timo was grateful. In the beginning, he had no hope. He only worked because he didn’t want the Dark Demon Dragon to kill him. He hadn’t really cared for this territory. However, the Lord always treated him with respect and courtesy that he had begun to care for the territory, too.

He felt a sense of loyalty and admiration toward Xu Yuan and Su Wan and was willing to contribute as much as he could for the betterment of the territory.
