All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

If his sky island continues to expand in the future, the city wall definitely cannot be built along the edge of the sky island. Otherwise, the current length of the sky island's edge would be enough to make Yang Fei suffer a lot.

The best solution is to abandon the defense of the edge of the sky island and instead divide it into several cities, each with its own villages and towns. When the enemy attacks, everyone can hide in the more defensive cities.

Alternatively, the city could be divided into an inner and outer city, constructed in a ring-like, phased manner, protecting residential, commercial, and important industrial areas within the city walls. Agricultural, pastoral, or other less valuable terrain areas could be located outside the walls, thus reducing the burden of constructing the walls.

This approach may create the risk of not being able to monitor the entire air island, but given the insufficient quality of ground troops and the limited number of defense towers, abandoning some areas to ensure the overall development of the air island is a necessary but unavoidable measure.

Unless, like Yang Fei now, one has the means to expand the area but chooses not to use them, waiting until one becomes powerful enough to have sufficient control over the entire sky island before using them, then one can avoid some problems caused by insufficient defense.

A lord who can develop normally doesn't have Yang Fei's determination to use territory whenever he wants. Expanding territory, especially territory that belongs to them, is something that ordinary people living on Azure Star, where every inch of land is precious, can hardly resist.

After processing all the rewards from this upgrade challenge, Yang Fei checked the time. It was almost 10:00 AM, and the defense towers had fully replenished their energy. Without hesitation, Yang Fei opened the Level 5 Heavenly Dao Shop and looked at the defense tower option!

Horizontal Firing Turret (White): 6000 HP, 0 Defense, 0 Magic Resistance, 50 Attack, 200-meter Range, 60-second Attack Interval. Launches a powerful artillery barrage centered on itself to an area within a 200-meter radius, dealing area damage to all targets within a 5-meter radius.

The current sky island environment has sufficient energy, enough to store 50 attacks. It can replenish its energy automatically within half an hour after disengaging from combat, or it can be replenished directly with gray or white energy crystals. Once placed, it can attack automatically or be controlled by the lord.

The cost to purchase this building card is 66 silver coins, and the cost to sell the card is 54 silver coins.

Horizontal Firing Turret (Gray): 6000 HP, 0 Defense, 0 Magic Resistance, 50 Attack, 200-meter Range, 60-second Attack Interval. Launches a powerful artillery barrage centered on itself to an area within a 200-meter radius, dealing area damage to all targets within a 5-meter radius.

Due to its poor quality, it cannot attack on its own, nor can it regenerate energy naturally. It needs gray or white energy crystals to replenish its own energy. It cannot attack on its own and must be controlled by a lord or subjects to be put into battle. It can store 50 attacks.

The cost to purchase this building card is 16 silver coins, and the cost to sell the card is 14 silver coins.

Ignoring the gray-quality horizontal-firing turrets, Yang Fei looked directly at the white-quality horizontal-firing turrets. He didn't care about the other stats because he already knew them by heart.

The most important thing is the range of this horizontal firing turret. As long as it is confirmed to be over 100 meters, it can be deployed on the Sky Island to hit the War Corridor without wasting precious slots.

I checked my current holdings of gold, silver, and copper coins: 29 gold coins, 817 silver coins, and 41495 copper coins. I need to save the gold and silver coins to buy combat slaves, so the best way is to use copper coins for settlement.

After thinking it over, Yang Fei spent 246 silver coins and 41400 copper coins to buy 10 white-quality flat-fire turret construction cards. This cost Yang Fei a lot of money, but he felt it was worth it. At least having ten automated cannons sounded amazing!

With the succubus girl by his side, Yang Fei was about to head to the edge of the sky island for defense when he saw a soldier who looked young but had a somewhat weathered face being followed by two lesser demons, slowly walking towards Yang Fei's cabin.

Yang Fei's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with complex emotions. It seemed that he had to harden his heart and be the bad guy for once.

Yang Fei sent the succubus to gather the lesser demons and tentacle jellyfish to wait at the city wall, while he went to meet the soldier from another world.

The young soldier was unarmed and came alone, so Yang Fei wasn't worried that he might have any bad ideas. He wasn't afraid that the young soldier would do something stupid when he was the bad guy.

"Sun Xiaoyu, Company Commander of the 34th Infantry Company of the Second Army Corps of the Qian Kingdom, salutes you and thanks you for your assistance." The young soldier saw Yang Fei approaching him, his expression unchanged, and gave Yang Fei a military salute.

Yang Fei nodded slowly, then spoke directly without any emotion: "I don't like formalities, let's get straight to business."

"First of all, I decide how the resources I get from killing zombies in your world are distributed. The current distribution ratio cannot be changed, and the ratio I receive must continue to increase in the future. I have no interest in supporting a group of people who are not loyal to me."

Yang Fei's words were almost cold, even somewhat harsh, but the young company commander's expression remained unchanged; he simply looked at Yang Fei without offering any opinion.

Seeing this, Yang Fei felt somewhat relieved. A sigh escaped his lips. In order to avoid trouble in the future, there were some things that had to be done, and he had to do them himself. Although they did not conform to Yang Fei's principles, he had to harden his heart for a better future.

"Secondly, I thought about it, and if the loyalty of the people who can join my territory does not increase, then there is no need for me to provide them with cultivation resources, because those people will not work for me in the end."

"They are only superficially obedient. In the end, it's all for their own benefit. As the lord of this sky island, I naturally have no need to give to them unconditionally or waste precious resources to support a group of people who will not dedicate themselves to me."

"Third, I am a person who values ​​myself and doesn't like other voices, especially those of outsiders. You can make demands, but I can tell you clearly that I will not listen."

These two conditions are a warning to these refugees from another world, telling them not to bother him and not to let them think that he is easy to talk to, that he really can't control them, and that he doesn't want to get involved in their affairs.

"Fourth, as you have seen, you cannot leave the defensive towers near the city walls. I built the city walls to give myself a sense of security, and placing you there is also for my sense of security. I like mutual respect; if we cannot respect each other, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

This is the principle by which these refugees live here, and it is also a tacitly existing law. Yang Fei must regulate the behavior of these refugees and not let them do whatever they want, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
