Chapter 168: Chapter 118: Resource Warehouse 3
With millions of Wandering Souls, assigning some to guard duty was all too easy. The Wandering Souls were especially bored from being cooped up all day and were looking for something to do. Patrolling gave them a good excuse to wander around—truly, sanctioned strolling.
He barely had to make any arrangements. The moment he mentioned it, a massive number of Wandering Souls came rushing to apply for the job, nearly burying Saler.
Li Ziyu paid no mind to the Wandering Soul patrols and started pondering how to strengthen the fortress. He had the resources, and his enemies had shown up armed and dangerous. Naturally, it was time to give his own power another boost.
First on the list was installing the Fierce Horn on the Mobile Fortress.
[Fierce Horn]
[Introduction: Are you still worried about how to deal with enemy walls? Are you still hesitating over how to break through enemy fortresses? The Fierce Horn is what you need. With it, you can charge forward without restraint. With it, you can smash through their defenses. What are you waiting for? Build it!]
[Construction Requirement: Skeleton x5000 units]
[Area Occupied: None]
’The Fierce Horn, a Weapon designed specifically to attack building defenses. I had no use for it before, but now’s my chance. So, you’re an armored car, are you? Come on, let’s see if I can’t ram you to pieces! Just 5,000 units of Skeletons? That’s nothing. Let’s do it.’
Li Ziyu didn’t even think twice, directly choosing to build it. He then looked at the fortress’s main tower. Upgrading to a Level 3 Fortress required Skeleton x3000 units and Soul Energy x10,000 units. That was no problem either; he had already set aside the Soul Energy, and now he could use it directly.
Fortress, upgrade!
RUMBLE!
As the upgrade command was issued, the Skeleton Undead Mobile Fortress suddenly shuddered and let out a tremendous roar.
The Minotaurs who had not yet gone to rest sprang to their feet, grabbing their Totem Poles with serious expressions. They moved to protect their children, confused. This didn’t feel like an enemy attack. Could it be an earthquake?
Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing, who had just returned to the fortress, ran back outside and looked around in confusion.
At that moment, the Undead Fortress began a strange transformation as Skeletons surged and churned.
Previously, the ground of the Bone Plate Platform had been paved with Skeletons, making it very rough. Now, thick, white, square tiles were embedding themselves into the ground. A closer look revealed fossil-like Skeletons sealed within the tiles.
The main tower was also changing. Its height remained at thirty meters, but more and more Skeletons appeared on its surface, filling in the gaps layer by layer. This made the main tower’s walls much thicker, giving it the rectangular shape of an ancient medieval castle.
The renovations on the Bone Plate Platform and the main tower were complete. Just as the Minotaurs, Zhang Peng, and Liu Xingxing thought it was over, a new round of changes began. The entire platform started to expand wildly.
Inside the main tower, Li Ziyu hadn’t expected such a massive change from upgrading from Level 2 to Level 3. ’The main tower’s Defense Power has increased, the Bone Plate Platform has been refurbished, and its area has grown from the original 300 units to a whopping 900 units!’
’I was worried there wouldn’t be enough space to build the Great Tomb, but now I don’t have to worry at all. There’s plenty of room; I can place it easily.’
Standing atop the main tower and gazing out, a sense of satisfaction welled up within him. ’Mm, this is the kingdom I’ve built.’
[Congratulations, your Skeleton Undead Mobile Fortress has been upgraded from Level 2 to Level 3.]
A system notification arrived. Li Ziyu opened it and took a look. The fortress had reached Level 3, which was the highest level for its current tier. The next upgrade would require a breakthrough to a major new Level, but now was not the time for that.
He checked the buildings available in the system and saw that a few new ones had been added. Some were quite strange, like the Bone Plates. This was the same stuff used to pave the platform, and it could be exchanged for Skeletons to increase the fortress’s area.
All in all, Li Ziyu was quite satisfied with this upgrade.
