Chapter 12: : Castle Peak (Part 1)
ps: (one more)
"Since the lord has nowhere to go, if you don't dislike it, why don't you go to our Qingshan Fortress for a while?" Zhao Da thought about it and suggested to Wang Lan and others.
Wang Lan's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "Alright, then on the next road, I will trouble you to lead the way. We can help you along the way."
"How about that?"
Zhao Da and Misi waved their hands, flattered.
In fact, the strength of Qingshan Fortress is not as strong as that of Night Castle's boss, Rock Fortress, even if the danger level of Qingshan Fortress's defense line is higher than that of Night Fortress.
Qingshan Fortress is a fortress that has only been promoted from a fortress to a fortress not long ago. There are only four level-9 professionals, and the fortress’s military master is only a professional who has just entered the master level. The Qingshan fortress with this configuration can be said to be a fortress level. Among the defense facilities, the lowest-level existence is barely an ordinary fortress with one-star potential, and the various war equipment and funds issued by War City are not too much.
Wang Lan's strength and the Knights of the Dawn led by him can be said to be comparable to the top batch of Qingshan Fortress' combat strength. Seeing Wang Lan's ability to easily kill an eighth-level peak wicked officer, his combat strength may reach The level of the four generals of his own fortress.
Especially the Knights of the Dawn, regardless of their equipment, just their aura and military literacy, they are not comparable to the troops of Qingshan Fortress.
This is also the biggest reason for Zhao Da and others to be respectful. Unless they reach the king-level combat power or above, it is absolutely impossible to influence the battle situation by themselves. When fighting the abyss, the role of legion troops is the greatest, and at the same time The cost of cultivating a legion is not comparable to cultivating a strong man.
The resources expended to train a thousand-person knights with an average strength of 8 may be enough to train a master-level professional. Three master-level professionals.
If there is no army formation or the army formation is too rubbish, that is another story.
Wang Lan and Zhao Da drove fast in unison. The two seemed to be talking very speculatively, and they could hear laughter from time to time.
The Dawn Knights were scattered on both sides of the carriage, and they controlled the Dawn horses to jog without looking away. A faint light emanated from the Dawn Knights, and the ground around the carriage was soft and bright.
The Qingshan Sword and Shield Soldiers among them felt at ease, because they knew that at this time, this mysterious and powerful knights, like their protector, kept evil and nightmares out.
"It seems that you have a strong sense of responsibility in Qingshan Fortress." Wang Lan said with some admiration listening to the embarrassing situation of Qingshan Fortress.
"What sense of responsibility, after building a fort and becoming the owner of the fort, you will also get a territory in the alliance territory behind the defense line as a logistical support.
The fortress is fine, and the soldiers don't have to worry about it, but after upgrading to the fortress, in addition to the basic soldiers, the rest of the soldiers and logistics must be recruited from the territory by ourselves.
What we are facing is only the private soldiers of various lords in the abyss and the cannon fodder that leaked from the front. Although we also belong to the regular army of the alliance in name. "
Zhao Da shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Wang Lan nodded thoughtfully. These things were not included in the information provided by the system. It seemed that they were secrets that were not secrets, at least not common sense.
"That is to say, most of the troops who join the alliance from the alliance every year actually go to various territories to supplement their fronts? It is not a unified subordinate of the alliance. Only the most elite recruits will be recruited by the major alliances. Legion recruitment?" Wang Lan asked.
"Huh? As long as you become a ninth-level powerhouse, wouldn't the alliance send someone to explain the requirements for building a fort?" Zhao Da wondered.
"Ah, in fact, I was teleported here not long after I advanced to the ninth level." Wang Lan explained awkwardly.
Although his real realm is only eighth-level, but the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts plus the power of the star vault, how can he still have the strength of the ninth-level lower reaches.
Zhao Da suddenly realized: "So it is, since this is the case, I will tell you that in the entire eternal frontier, except for the most dangerous lines of defense, the limit of becoming a castle owner is to become a ninth-level professional, and there are four eighth-level members. and a standard army of at least 10,000 people.
In addition, it is necessary to exchange a large amount of military merit for the lord's order to be eligible to build a fortress. In fact, the most difficult thing is to collect military merit. At the beginning of our Qingshan Fortress, we worked hard for two years to collect military merit. Grade weapons were barely exchanged for the Lord Token.
In order to advance to a fortress, in addition to meeting the military merit standards, one must have a master-level professional and at least four ninth-level professionals, and at least sixteen eight-level professionals.
And every year, you have to ensure that you earn a certain amount of military merit. The military merit you earn does not need to be turned over. The alliance just depends on whether you are qualified to be a good lord. "
Wang Lan nodded: "Then what is the most dangerous place on the front line, what about the fortress? The ninth-level professionals in these places are barely considered ordinary professionals. I think the style of those fortresses is not the same as yours here."
"These places? The forts in these places are not called forts, they are called outposts. They can only be used for supplies. Generally, four or five ninth-level professionals and thousands of small troops with an average sixth-level are stationed. These The most basic level of defense in a place is the battle city, even if the fortress is only the function of the military camp, except for some special fortresses.
And most professionals don't want to be lords, because it's thankless for most people, and they don't have the financial resources.
We want to set up a defense line for the benefit of the family because the territory in the alliance is originally the territory of the family. After all, the abyss crystals of the abyss creatures can be exchanged for a lot of precious materials, and the war city also has facilities to purify the abyss crystals into magic crystals. .
In addition to the fortress's own use, these things can also be sold in many sports territories or used by family children. "
The light in Wang Lan's eyes flickered constantly, and he was not surprised that the alliance could conduct business activities. After all, due to the continuous development of various technologies, the army on the front line is not lacking in basic combat power, and the soldiers are only one out of ten.
Well, one of the ten young people is drawn, not all citizens.
In fact, there is no need for the alliance to take the initiative to draw. Every time the number of people who actively join the army is more than that, and it has to be brushed down a lot.
In addition to the number of population within the alliance and the frequency of population growth, in fact, apart from the slightly faster pace of life, the large-scale spread of the military industry in the alliance, and the awareness of most citizens in peacetime, there is no difference between the social situation during the period of no war.
Of course, the Alliance had no troops other than the army to maintain law and order, and the city didn't even have a city wall.
Except for the wilderness, where there are no restrictions, the rest of the place is as peaceful as the country before Wang Lan crossed.
Wang Lan thought for a while, took out a gold coin embodied in the system, and asked, "I grew up in a certain battle city. I want to ask how this kind of gold coin has the purchasing power in the alliance?"
Although what Wang Lan took out was called a gold coin, it was only the size of a coin on the Blue Star, and it was not made of gold.
Zhao Da heard that Wang Lan had grown up in the frontline battle city since he was a child. He glanced at Wang Lan with admiration, and then took the system gold coins and glanced at him, and immediately raised his brows: "This currency is also called crystal coins. , only circulates in high-level areas, the public does not know that it contains a lot of unrelated magic power, as for its purchasing power, 10,000 pieces can support the cost of our Qingshan Fortress for a whole year."
"Cough cough."
Wang Lan almost choked at the thought of the 30,000 gold coins that were about to be credited.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Da asked worriedly, should he be injured by any evil demon?
"Oh, it's okay, I just thought of something."
Wang Lan showed an embarrassed but polite smile.
Then Zhao Da began to introduce the development process of Qingshan Fortress.
Wang Lan said that he was listening, but he kept thinking in his heart. According to the personality of the system, I am afraid that he would not let himself stay around the fortress safely, but would let himself fight in the heavy war zone or the front line of this line of defense, then he would take this team After being sent to Qingshan Fortress, will he be received by the master-level army master?
Is there something that can allow you to quickly reach the front line or heavy war zone?
and many more? You don't seem to have any identification?
Just as Wang Lan was about to ask, she took the initiative to say in Wang Lan's mind: "Don't worry, the identity system has been properly arranged, whether it is the guild federation, the headquarters or the alliance, the lord's identity is recorded.
And the identity arranged by the system for the lord will get an inland territory arranged by the system to the lord after he has a fort or a fortress and the lord auxiliary system is turned on. "
Wang Lan immediately put his heart back into his stomach, and An Ran rode the shadow horse forward unhurriedly.
Listening to what Zhao Da said next to him, Wang Lan couldn't help laughing and said, "How many lines of defense are there in your family?"
Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Nine fortresses, one hundred and thirty-four fortresses, our Qingshan Fortress is the fortress at the bottom of the ranking, although the strength of the military master is not the lowest among the nine military masters, but The strength of other levels is too different from the other eight fortresses, so there are not many resources.

Nodding, Wang Lan wasn't talking, and this kind of thing had nothing to do with him, so he might as well go to the front line to kill monsters.
A few hours later, the ground under Wang Lan and the others began to become harder, and a gray grass began to grow thicker.
"It's almost there." Zhao Da said with a smile when he saw the gray weeds.
Wang Lan nodded, and the entire team began to speed up.
This gray weed is a special plant that can absorb a small amount of abyss, and can effectively absorb abyss caused by non-living things.
The combat power of the abyss creatures cannot be strengthened by the rich abyss gas. Periodically, someone will harvest it and recycle it into the purification tower of the war city, purify it into pure unsystem magic power, and condense it into crystals and distribute it everywhere.
However, it seems that this fortress is really poor. This kind of purification grass is generally only used in fortresses, and most of the fortresses are trees of purification.
Just when Wang Lan sympathized with the poverty of Qingshan Fortress, Zhao Da became excited and said to Wang Lan, "There is Qingshan Fortress in front!"
Long before Zhao Da's reminder, Wang Lan saw the city wall, which was more than 50 meters high and stretched for more than 10 kilometers. Visually, it was about ten times larger than the Ye Castle. Except for the more than 240 primary magic crystals on the four walls. In addition to the cannons, there are also a full sixteen buildings similar to bunkers. If you guessed correctly, then it is an intermediate magic crystal cannon, right?
However, Wang Lan was stunned when he felt the groups of soldiers patrolling the city wall, and almost instantly determined that he was at that level of defense.
The strength of this team of soldiers has reached the fourth level, and the centurions who lead the patrol have the fifth level of strength.
In addition to the data that I had obtained from side-by-side, if the 600,000 troops had this kind of strength, it seemed that this was the third frontier battlefield.
