Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 381 Enchanted Heavy Cavalry

Thinking of this, Li Wei didn't rush to agree, but instead asked, "How much does a one-star mage tower cost?"

"It won't exceed 150,000 gold coins. Also, if you have barbarian gold coins, 100,000 will be enough, because barbarian gold coins contain a trace of ancient magic, and this thing itself is an excellent magic material."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. Had he really suffered a huge loss by exchanging the 50,000 barbarian gold coins he had exchanged with Lord Mark of Kahe City?

"Alright! I can agree to that. Also, I currently have 80,000 barbarian gold coins on hand. If you need any other materials, I'll find them for you."

"Eighty thousand?"

This time, the sloppy-faced woman stood up excitedly, her huge black-rimmed glasses flying off. "If that's the case, Your Excellency, you only need to pay me another 30,000 standard gold coins, plus these 80,000 barbarian gold coins. I dare to pledge that if I can't build a mage tower within ten months, I will serve you as your slave for life!"

"Also, consider these twenty warhorses as a gift from me. I won't ask for a salary for the next year, and I'll immediately make you a magic emblem."

"Do you think this will work?"

"Okay, it's a deal then."

Li Wei nodded. Why not earn a one-star mage tower?
The woman with the messy hair immediately took out a five-star item card called the "A Promise Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold" card and repeated what she had just said on it: "I keep my word. You can have this five-star item card for ten months. If you don't meet the requirements, I'll sell it to you for life. Also, my code name is Qin Yu, the Forest Witch. Come and invite me!"

At this moment, the woman with the messy hair was so excited that she was about to dance with joy. It was quite exaggerated, but Li Wei could tell that she was genuinely happy and excited.

It seems that the gold content of the barbarian gold coins is truly extraordinary!

However, this also means that Second Aunt's research in this area is indeed far behind. It's impossible that she didn't know the function of the barbarian gold coins but never mentioned it; it can only mean that she needs more time.

After all, she had only been a spellcaster for less than a year. Even with Night Owl's magic notes, she would still need a lot of time to study them.

Without hesitation, Li Wei immediately invited this disheveled older sister to join his territory as a staff member and to be in charge of the magic mine at the river fortress. At the same time, he traded 50,000 barbarian gold coins in advance.

However, the woman with the messy handwriting immediately returned 40,000 coins.

"Just give me ten thousand coins a month. I can't break the rules. Leave the rest to me. You can go and do other things. With me here, within a fifty-mile radius of this fortress, unless there's a large-scale enemy invasion, everything will be fine."

Since that's the case, Li Wei was naturally more than happy to accept it.

However, after returning to the fortress, he did not hesitate to activate the dropped purple card.

Yes, he had previously thought about taking this purple card out of this world, perhaps as a gift for someone in the future, or for some other great use, but now he felt it was unnecessary.

Sure enough, as expected, the drop rate for this purple card is also very high.

You have obtained 35,000 Barbarian Gold Coins.

You have obtained a four-star Scholar card with Scholar Fate 47.

You have obtained a five-star physician card, with a physician destiny level of 56.

You have obtained a five-star killer card, carrying killer fate 54.

You have acquired a damaged five-star leather armor.

You have obtained a fragmented magic emblem (requires identification).

You have obtained a magic scroll (requires identification).

You have obtained a magic notebook (requires appraisal)

You have obtained a monster anatomy notebook (requires appraisal)

-

Good heavens, is this nun a spellcaster?
Li Wei was startled, but also felt incredibly fortunate.

If you don't activate this purple card, you'll really be losing out big time.

After thinking it over, he put all the items away. Even if they needed to be appraised, he would have to find his second aunt first, then Hathaway. If the two of them really had no other options, then it wouldn't be too late to find other spellcasters.

After dealing with this matter, Li Wei activated ten pet cards and gave ten three-star warhorses to Javier, instructing him to select ten more soldiers for cavalry training. Currently, Li Wei has sixty-two cavalrymen under his command. Thirty-two are at the main base in his territory, including Zhao Xuanxuan, and thirty are at the riverside fortress. Although most of them are new recruits who have only been training for less than two months, lacking cavalry cards and corresponding professions, the long-term training has yielded remarkable results.

It is estimated that in another month, most of these novice cavalrymen will be able to obtain regular cavalry cards.

Now, with the addition of these twenty two-star warhorses, Li Wei's total cavalry force will reach eighty-two.

This will be a formidable military force.

It will play a significant role in ensuring the security of the territory in the future.

Because the five hundred li stretch from the main camp of the territory to the riverside fortress is all flat land, almost entirely alluvial plains, which is most suitable for cavalry charges and maneuvers.

This was also a very important reason why Li Wei insisted on preserving the riverside fortress after discussing it with Liang Yuzhi.

Yes, such territory is almost full of loopholes, the kind that lets in drafts everywhere. Once the river freezes over, the enemy can come and go as they please.

It's a very dangerous place.

However, there are two ways to make up for it. The first is to have a powerful cavalry force, preferably with all members riding three-star or even four-star warhorses. In that case, the warhorses' health points can exceed 2000 points, and their running and charging speed can approach 80 kilometers per hour. Coupled with superb combat skills and the bonus of cavalry cards, this is the king of the land.

It's only June now. By September, this cavalry force will be basically complete. Li Wei will also distribute all the remaining black iron tokens he has, striving to build a team with all four-star warhorses, all four-star cavalry, and all four-star enchanted equipment.

I dare not say that we can conquer thousands of miles away, but on our own territory, with the help of three magic mines, we will be invincible in field battles.

We're not afraid of the Ice Duke sending an army of superhumans to attack!
If in the future we were to go to the extravagance of equipping everyone with a magic emblem, haha... let's forget about that.

In addition, if he could purchase two magical portals, then his leaky territory would have virtually no weaknesses.

Next, Li Wei hurried to the territory's main camp and sent over another ten two-star warhorses, so that Zhao Xuanxuan could select ten soldiers to train the novice cavalry.

By the way, I also upgraded the magic mine here to the highest level of three stars.

With Liang Yuzhi in charge, the Magic Mine's coverage area completely encompassed both the northern and southern fortresses.

This completes the defense loop.

This is very impressive; it can be said that the overall strength of the entire territory is far ahead.

The Samsung Magic Mine can store up to 500 units of magic power. Once he has enough magic power, Li Wei feels he can declare the mission over.

"Second Aunt, do you know this forest witch, Qin Yu?"

Inside the territory building, Li Weiyi enjoyed several dishes that Liang Yuzhi had personally prepared for him while asking questions.

"Qin Yu? I don't know her. She shouldn't be a spellcaster from the Province of Ver. The tavern's recruitment system covers the entire Kingdom of Locke, or perhaps other provinces. I saw you recruited her as an advisor. What are her abilities?"

"Maybe it's not bad, I'm not sure, but she said she could make a single Sequence 3 magic emblem in ten days that could withstand four fatal attacks. She also guaranteed that she could build a one-star mage tower within ten months."

"Really? Tsk tsk, that seems pretty impressive. I've seen those Sequence 3 magic emblems before. Since I'm not familiar enough with the structure of magic, it would take at least a month to make one, and it can only guarantee to withstand three fatal attacks. Plus, I'm too busy with things here, and I also have to prepare potions, so this is good."

Liang Yuzhi didn't take it seriously. Li Wei then smiled and handed over the four-star scholar card, the five-star physician card, and four kinds of magic notebooks, magic emblems, props, and magic scrolls that needed to be appraised.

"Second Aunt, this is what dropped when I opened a purple card before. See if there's anything you need."

"Ha! You killed a Neanderthal spellcaster, my goodness, these are all good stuff, especially this four-star scholar card. With this, you can even train a spellcaster among the free people, like little Isabel. However, this five-star healer card is useless. It can only be used by five-star professions, so using it on a free person would be a waste."

"I have to tell you, Xiaowei, even if the free soldiers are strengthened, it's best to stop at four stars. Don't give them the chance to advance to five stars, otherwise you really won't be able to afford to support them if the territory closes the source of magic in the future."

"We can continue trading with Night Owl and exchange for more warhorses. Our cavalry is now basically ready, and with the three-star magic mine, I think it's time to let Zhao Xuanxuan return to the Enchanting Blacksmith Workshop. In the past two months, Thomas mined a large amount of three-star iron ore in the mines near Base 349. This iron ore has now been smelted into one-star steel ingots, and it has also cultivated a batch of blacksmith cards. Now the total number of blacksmiths in our territory has reached twenty-four, and there are nearly a hundred craftsmen."

"If you have enough bronze tokens, I suggest you upgrade a batch of three-star blacksmiths and three-star craftsmen. Then, with Zhao Xuanxuan taking the lead, we should use thirty units of magic power to start large-scale production of enchanted equipment, especially enchanted armor. We should strive to equip all cavalry and warhorses with three-star armor and three-star horse armor by the end of October. This is the best way to improve combat effectiveness and avoid excessive battlefield casualties, and of course, it is also the most extravagant."

"Tsk tsk, I can't even imagine the scene of eighty enchanted heavy armor cavalry sweeping across the land."

"A true king should have the bearing of a king. It's time to give those clowns a real shock with the true power of a king."
