Chapter 932 - 541: My Body Is Like a Blade, Level 6 Lord’s Fortress

The change in area requires the eyes to get accustomed first.

As for the Lord’s Fortress, it remains the same.

It still sits on the tenth-tier platform with one floor, overall transforming from five floors to six.

The height also increased by four or five meters.

Additionally, two towers have emerged on either side of the fortress.

These towers cling to the fortress, extending upwards from the third-floor level.

The towers are slightly taller than the sixth floor.

During wartime, shooters can be deployed on the towers.

The tower positions are among the high points within the fortress.

Facing in all directions, they complement the defense of the Lord’s Fortress.

"Not bad, not bad!"

The phrase Zong Shen has most often used these days is "Not bad, not bad."

Stepping up the stairs, he came outside the main gate of the Lord’s Fortress.

Undoubtedly, there have been significant changes here as well.

The original steel gate has become thicker.

Even Zong Shen shook his head upon seeing it.

The black-gray square stones are stacked into walls, and the forty-centimeter thick steel gate stands among them.

Such defenses could withstand an attack from the Black Handsome Guy in the Poison Swamp for a while.

Zong Shen couldn’t help but nod, repeatedly scrutinizing the fortress and the gate.

He mainly wanted to check for any defensive effects on the fortress and steel gate.

[Sixth-level Lord’s Fortress]

[Durability Value: 60000+1500]

[Building Armor: 120]

[Building Magic Resistance: 115]

[Defense Effect: Basic Seal (Can activate Basic Seal when necessary, completely sealing the fortress, partly isolating poison gas and smoke, maximum duration 4 hours, maintaining Basic Seal may risk exhausting oxygen)]

...

[Sixth-level Lord’s Fortress Steel Gate]

[Durability Value: 18000+1500]

[Building Armor: 135]

[Building Magic Resistance: 125]

[Defense Effect: Basic Spike Mechanism (Gate extends sharp metal spikes, reflecting 15% of melee attacks for 30 minutes, cooling time 12 hours)]

...

Just as Zong Shen had previously speculated.

The Lord’s Fortress and steel gate have exclusive defensive effects.

These effects are equivalent to building skills.

They can directly enhance the building’s defense.

"Not undeserving of the fortress."

"Just keep upgrading."

"Someday it will transform into a castle."

Zong Shen remains obsessed with Baron Bezos’s castle.

He also dreams of constructing a large central castle spanning hundreds of thousands of square meters.

Not only for safeguarding his living security.

Enhancing the territory’s defensive capabilities.

But also for luxury.

Adding a wine cellar, banquet hall, and large study.

He could even consider building an emergency tunnel.

Thinking about tunnels brings many construction ideas for the fortress.

Most large castles or fortresses possess tunnels.

They might even excavate one to three layers of underground space.

Apart from escape and security purposes, they can serve as a treasury and dungeon.

I wonder if the Lord’s Fortress will naturally feature tunnels after further upgrading.

After pondering for a while, Zong Shen temporarily suppressed the thought.

No matter what, upgrading the Lord’s Fortress comes first.

Only then will he have the confidence to design alterations.

If the advanced Lord’s Fortress really lacks tunnels, future modification won’t be too late.

Blind adjustments now risk causing irreversible effects, making them unwise priorities.

After all, tunnels aren’t essential.

Nodding to himself, Zong Shen opened the heavy steel gate.

This gate hinge features assistive pull springs.

One side of the hinge is almost embedded in equally solid blue-gray walls.

Such robust walls and foundations accommodate a gate of this size.

The weight of the steel gate alone is at least several tons.

Even on Earth, bank vault doors are no better.

Gold vault security doors are made of alloy, having higher density and greater weight.

Living within sturdy walls and doors instills an overwhelming sense of security.

After some fuss, evening finally arrived.

The intense sunlight eventually subsided somewhat.

Spreading dull yellow light over the ground.

However, the temperature didn’t drop with the weakening daylight.

Undoubtedly, the Lord System ensures battle challenge stability by actively regulating.

Hoping for nighttime temperature dips is pure delusion.

Except for lords in this area, of course.

Currently, a temperature of 35℃ is practically a boonet compared to other regions.

Zong Shen’s back slightly sweats, but overall he’s fine.

At least he’s not drenched in sweat as in the morning.

Returning to the living room, he prepared to inspect the remaining items.

He was fully satisfied with this haul.

The [Silver Lion Battle Banner (Golden)] alone is enough to keep him happy for a long time.

Due to the Flame Demon Boss’s traits, cavalry and melee infantry find it hard to participate in Boss raids.

Of course, those Lion Knights are Tier Four and Five high-tier cavalry.

Charging head-on is entirely feasible, albeit at the risk of inevitable casualties.

These Lion Knights will be Zong Shen’s fastest formed cavalry unit.

The final number will surpass Wolf Cavalry.

For the Wolf Riders are merely light cavalry.

Compared to heavy cavalry, they have significant shortcomings.

Standing beside the Magic Storage Box, Zong Shen took deep breaths.

Suppressing that slightly restless feeling.

He reached out and took the strategic map.

This map was also rolled up, tied around with a gray ribbon.

Zong Shen guessed the ribbon was initially red.

Yet over time’s decay, it faded to gray.

From the map’s rolled-up back.

Zong Shen saw the shadow of black lines representing terrain undulations.

Alongside thumb-sized lion head stamps.

Presumably symbolizing the Lion Knight Order.

Upon opening the box, he immediately identified it as a map.

Carefully, he extracted the map from the roll.

Placing it on an empty round table beside him.
