Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 994 - 610: Advancing to a Higher Tier

It must be said that Xu Yang was very lucky, as the randomly arrived Legendary Hero filled a gap for him.

Gongshu Ling, a construction-oriented Hero, a craftsman who was also a blacksmith and a mechanic, epitomized the principle of "specializing in one field, but I am omnipotent!"

As a Legendary Hero, she possessed four Special Skills, making her character panel nothing short of luxurious.

Daughter of Gongshu, providing an attribute bonus of two Physical Strength, six Intelligence, and two Charm, leveling up once would result in ten extra Attributes, and her Intelligence could break through the Corresponding Rank limit by twenty points. Compared to Gongsun Yang’s eight points of Physical Strength growth and ten Breakthrough Attributes, she was far ahead.

Ghost Axe Divine Skill, not only greatly improving the speed of construction and the quality of Creations but also reducing construction costs and consumption. No one knew how much money and resources it would save; just this point alone was worth the Hundred Spirit Stones monthly salary.

The domineering mechanism technique was an alternative attack skill that could control various attack buildings and mechanical Creations to damage enemies and significantly increase damage.

Take the Heavenly Thunder Tower as an example, under her control, its power doubled, equivalent to the effect of Hua Mulan activating Solid as Gold Soup, powerful enough to annihilate first-class Heroes like Wen Chou.

It was unknown whether the two could be combined, but if they could, then with the fourfold power of the Heavenly Thunder Tower under bombardment, even Legendary Generals like Gongsun Yang would have to avoid its edge.

As for the last, the Gongshu Family Master, this greatly enhanced her strategic value.

Gongshu Mechanism City.

Building Order: Second Order (Legendary)

Building Civilization: Schools of Thought (Gongshu)

Building troops: Gongshu Disciples 10/10, Gongshu Ladder 5/5, Gongshu Chongche 5/5, Gongshu Thunderbolt Car 2/2, Gongshu Mechanism Beast 1/1.

Building effects: Gongshu Mechanism City (Construction efficiency across all Territory +100%, Creation quality +50%, Construction consumption -25%, Defense buildings and Siege Machinery power +50%, Own defense buildings and Siege Machinery power +100%, Building, Machinery, Mechanism repair speed +100%)

Building Introduction: The pinnacle of the Gongshu Family’s craftsmanship, a city composed of countless mechanisms, hidden among the mountains, capable of utilizing the power of wind, water, coal, and the legendary nature’s spiritual energy as power, efficiently producing various machineries and building mechanisms.

Construction requirements: 300,000 units of Stone, 500,000 units of timber, 100,000 units of Iron Ingots, 50,000 units of Copper Ingots, 10,000 units of Spirit Stones.

...

As a Legendary Building, Gongshu Mechanism City’s information was much more complicated than that of Youthful Spring, but it boiled down to three functions. First, it enhanced the Territory’s construction capabilities, second, it trained the Engineering Troop Gongshu Disciples, and third, it built various types of special Siege Machinery.

There’s no need to go into detail about construction capabilities, which directly affect the Territory’s Defense. The strength of defensive facilities such as city walls and Arrow Towers will determine the outcome of a war and even the survival of the entire Territory.

And these types of buildings, which require a lot of resources to construct, are something most Lords simply cannot afford to invest in.

Take Yellow Sky City as an example, with walls two thousand meters wide, tens of meters high, and more than ten meters thick, and the several hundred towers on the walls have consumed who knows how much in resources. Xu Yang’s money from selling equipment, selling captives, and opening Territory Treasure Chests, most of it was invested in this.

He had no choice but to invest; without such input, how could he resist the siege of an army of two hundred thousand and many Epic Generals? In the end, he would probably end up with a siege battle just as before, with heavy casualties and barely one in ten surviving.

But now that he had Gongshu Ling and the Mechanical City, not only could he improve the strength of the city defenses but also reduce the construction consumption, turning his own Territory into an impregnable fortress, a bone too hard to chew for anyone.

In this way, Xu Yang no longer had worries, and he could confidently go to war outside, without having to worry as before when he attacked other Territories whether Hua Mulan, left to guard his home, would be able to withstand the attacks from other Lords.

That was the enhancement of construction capabilities. About the recruitment and construction of Engineering Troops and Siege Machinery, it’s more related to warfare abroad.

Siege warfare is a difficult task; he could strengthen his defenses, but so could other Lords.

So, the problems those people faced today, he would have to face tomorrow. For example, if a Territory had several layers of city walls, all topped with various Arrow Towers, Cannon Towers, Fire Towers, and Thunder Towers, how would he attack?

A solo and brave attack?

Or the kindness not to command troops, and the flesh to wear away.

Either would work, but neither is wise. A solo attack might lead to an upset, and consuming flesh and blood is a loss without compensation.

The most correct and wise choice would be to build Siege Machinery to attack from a distance, which effectively reduces one’s own losses.

Gongshu Ling could train Personal Guard Species Gongshu Mechanics, and the Mechanical City could foster Special Troops Gongshu Disciples. These were all engineers who could join the army to construct various Siege Machinery, and they were much more efficient than ordinary Engineering Troops.

Added to these were special machineries produced by the Mechanism City, like Gongshu Ladder, Gongshu Chongche, Gongshu Thunderbolt Car, and so on. In the future, when Xu Yang laid siege to fortresses, it wasn’t to say he would be invincible, but it would be like being assisted by the divine.

Besides, Gongshu Ling also brought a piece of civilization technology.

Gongshu Mechanism Skill: The ability to use Gongshu Mechanism Skill to convert basic Defense structures such as Arrow Towers and city walls into Gongshu Mechanism facilities. Currently, four types can be converted: Gongshu Iron City Wall (Earth), Gongshu Crossbow Tower (Wind), Gongshu Cannon Tower (Fire), Gongshu Water Poison Tower (Water).

Gongshu Ling, Gongshu Mechanism City, Gongshu Mechanism Technology!

The combination of the three, Xu Yang’s Territory, now a Copper Wall Iron Armor bristling with spikes, anyone who came would smash their heads and bleed; without paying a very heavy price, they wouldn’t be able to breach his Territorial defenses.
