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

317 The War Is Coming

The residents ran out of their houses at the commotion. Their mouths fell open at the sight of the enormous walls.

“What’s this?!”

“Gods above, am I hallucinating?!”

“How is this possible? The city walls can be built out of thin air?!”

!!

“A miracle! This is a gift from the gods!”

The residents turned to see Su Wan standing a few paces away from the city walls and admiring the great infrastructure.

They really felt that Su Wan was no less than a god. They bowed to her in respect.

No one said anything, but the admiration in their eyes was apparent. This was their Lord!

The residents had watched the territory grow into the formidable place it was now. The pride they felt when they called this place their home couldn’t be described in mere words.

Su Wan saw the residents and waved to them.

The city walls represented safety. They were the first line of defense. The city walls were the shield of her territory.

Su Wan opened the attribute panel.

[City Wall (Special)]

[Level: Beginner (Able to level up along with the territory’s level, 1 million units of stone material required for the next level).]

[Characteristic: 20 meters tall, 10 meters wide, 30 points of sturdiness.]

[Abilities]

[Tenacity: 20% increase in strength, and 20% increase in defense.]

[Note: A city wall with decent defense capability.]

The attributes weren’t very remarkable. However, these were much better than the ordinary city walls.

Su Wan climbed the city walls and looked into the distance. The walls enveloped the territory from all sides.

The crisscrossed battlements were half the height of an average person, and the soldiers could shoot from the dents to stop the enemies. Even a ballista would not be able to pierce through the sturdy city walls.

There were four gates in total. They were so tightly closed that nobody could pry them open.

To open the stone gate, a clever mechanism needed to be turned to make the gates retract. Su Wan smiled as she stood on the city walls.

With the new city walls, the territory felt different.

She thought of an idea and immediately summoned Timo. “Timo, get someone to move the giant cannons up the city walls and set them here.”

The rest of them would set up a camp behind the city wall. Cannons weren’t like bows and arrows. Their impact was far stronger. If possible, Su Wan wanted to set up the cannons in all four directions on the city walls.

Unfortunately, they only had a few of those.

“Yes, My Lord!” said Timo.

He felt happy to be assigned such a responsibility.

“How’s the progress of the alchemy bombs?” asked Su Wan.

“The alchemy workshop will be completed tomorrow. It is estimated that the workshop can produce 50 bombs a day.”

“Alright. You focus on doing the necessary and increasing production. This is an order!” said Su Wan sternly.

Timo swallowed the words he wanted to say. He nodded.

“You can apply for as many resources or manpower as you need, but get it done,” said Su Wan.

Timo heaved a sigh of relief. This was his opportunity to make a contribution. He was also wary because he didn’t want to make a mistake and lose his job.

After Timo left, Su Wan looked at the planting area. The territory was fine for now. However, the agricultural section without any defense in place was a problem.

If the war reached its climax, there won’t be enough time to send the troops to defend the area.

Su Wan felt much more at ease while walking around the newly built walls. She returned to the Dark castle after a while.

Spending 200 tons of stones was worth it! Now, she needed to upgrade her troops.

He opened the attribute panel of the troops. Upgrading to a rare class took 50 tons of resources. Upgrading to a higher level than that costs around 100 tons of resources. She upgraded some of the troops to higher levels.

Su Wan’s eyebrows twitched. It took too many resources to upgrade them to even higher levels.

The Battleaxe Warriors that she had chosen to upgrade changed. Their weapons glowed faintly. Their aura soared.

The Rotten Cavalry was different too. Their attributes were significantly higher than before. The range of attack had increased from a 40 to a 60-meter radius.

The improvement in their attributes was just too remarkable.

A 60-meter attack range was more than enough in a serious battle. If the Battleaxe Warriors imbued their battleaxe with fire, it could cause a significant explosion.

Su Wan looked at her newly upgraded troops and smiled in satisfaction. Su Wan summoned other troops and upgraded them accordingly. She now had enough resources at hand.

Su Wan’s troops and her territory were at a level that the other Lords couldn’t even dream of.

Su Wan felt proud of herself. Which Lord could even compare to her? Besides, she still had Xu Yuan.

The rewards and resources she had obtained from the underground world were abundant.

Su Wan felt good about where she was in her life right now.

“Urgent report!” said a soldier who had run all the way to her. He was panting. “The Light-Types are gathering!”

The enemy had hidden beyond the hill and used magic to mask their trail. They might not have been detected if it hadn’t been for the crowd.

Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He looked into the distance and smiled sinisterly. The enemies had arrived just in time for them to test the changes they had recently made.

“Sound the alarm! Tell everyone to stay on high alert!”
