Chapter 21: Rubbing the City Wall with One Hand
At the end of the day, after having absorbed so much knowledge, Li Qing saw that most of the dozen or so War Lord apprentices with him looked tired during the last class, but he himself was full of energy.
He guessed that this was because his mental power was stronger than theirs and his soul strength was also higher, so he could fully receive this knowledge.
However, most of these apprentices do not have high mental talent, and there is too much knowledge for them to remember it all.
When he returned to the dormitory at night, Li Qing took out the textbook related to what he had studied that morning that he had borrowed from the library and continued reading.
The teacher will only focus on the key points in lectures and mark important matters for them. They own, especially some theoretical courses.
Li Qing arranged for himself to read for two hours every night, and read as much as he could.
Then meditate for another hour to accumulate 0.083 mana.
An hour later, he turned and entered the divine realm.
It has been a long time since he dealt with the affairs within the Divine Realm. He had to deal with them properly and at the same time prepare for Instructor Nie Yang's first class in a few days.
According to the course schedule, they basically took theoretical courses in the first two months. During this period, every week, the instructor would give special courses to the seventeen war lord apprentices.
There will be some small games or small tests involved.
It is possible that it will be similar to the previous assessment, where the instructor will throw some monster cards into their divine domain for them to face.
There could also be new types of tests.
Those who perform well will receive direct rewards from their instructors.
Li Qing's divine domain at this time was no different from before, but the resources he had at hand were far more than before.
1,400 cubic meters of wood, 1,040 cubic meters of stone excluding the two arrow towers, and 50 cubic meters of crude iron.
It is worth mentioning that the purchased blacksmith set has not been put down yet.
This blacksmith set was also sealed in the form of a card, using a special spell to seal all the tools in the entire blacksmith shop in the card, but there were only tools, no room, so he had to build a blacksmith shop.
The space in the divine domain is limited and must be planned well.
first……
Li Qing walked around the small divine domain and finally came to the southernmost part of the divine domain.
According to his plan, the living area for civilians and their families in the divine domain is at the westernmost part of the divine domain. Even if the divine domain expands in the future, they will only gather in the west, or extend to the north, but will never enter the east of the divine domain.
The main reason for this is that the default external window of the Divine Realm is on the east side.
The so-called docking refers to the place where outsiders or foreign enemies enter the divine realm.
Or in the future, the direction in which the divine realm will connect with other divine realms.
And the entrance to the monster cards that the instructor puts in front of them for the test.
Or if a powerful being forcibly invades the divine realm, the entrance is in the east of the divine realm.
Therefore, in the future, a wall will definitely be built across the divine realm in the entire East, and important military locations such as barracks will be located in that direction.
The blacksmith shop can be used for both military and civilian purposes, and is located right between the two, on the south side.
Building a blacksmith shop was also very simple. The first step was to recruit a group of dependents and laborers to dig the foundation, including the basement.
There is strength in numbers, but digging a three-story basement that is more than ten meters deep is a huge project that will take many days.
There is no other way. The space in the divine realm is not big, so we can only expand the space upwards and downwards.
There is no rush for this, you can do other things before that.
For example, build a solid city wall first.
It turns out that the two walls surrounding the core tower of the divine domain are in tatters.
Li Qing planned to build two city walls in the Divine Realm. One was a stone wall placed on the east side of the Divine Realm, approximately 80% of the entire Divine Realm from west to east. The overall wall was in a C-shape, but the curvature was not very large.
The other is a wooden wall that extends from both ends of the stone wall to the west, forming a C shape that surrounds the entire western side of the divine domain. The arc is very large, like a circle.
There is enough material. The stone wall is less than 50 meters long. Although the wooden wall is longer, it does not need to be as solid as the stone wall.
Even the foundation of the city wall doesn't need to be very deep, three meters wide and one meter deep will be enough.
Among them, the stone wall is the simplest to build. Each cross-section is composed of twelve stones that are one meter long, wide and high. They are decomposed through the space in the palm of your hand and then combined into a whole piece, which is three meters wide and four meters high, and has its own thick parapet battlements.
The parapet battlements do not require additional stones, just dig out some stones from the solid core to fill the gap.
Anyway, the city wall is three meters thick and four meters high, and the quality of the parapets on both sides will not affect the defense of the city wall.
Then, according to this module, 50 more modules were assembled, which consumed a total of 764 cubic meters of stone.
According to this module, readjust and reassemble every 10 modules to form large curved city wall modules of 5 meters in length.
The reason why it is not 600 square meters is mainly because a three-meter wide and high city gate passage is left in the center.
Then a huge gate tower was built on top of the central gate of the city wall, and two two-story arrow towers and two-story corner towers were built on the left and right of the gate tower.
Then, two 9-meter-high arrow towers were built in the same way as last time.
However, because these two arrow towers are placed on the left and right of the gate tower behind the city wall, they do not need to be solid, but hollow. Moreover, the arrow towers are divided into two floors to accommodate more archers.
Because it is not solid, the same stone can be used to build two arrow towers.
The entire city wall is in a C-shaped arc, which is more convenient for the defenders.
It only took Li Qing two hours to integrate the planned city walls, gate towers, etc.
Once the foundation is dug, we can start laying it down directly.
Just as he was about to start synthesizing the wooden wall surrounding the divine realm, Li Qing suddenly felt some fatigue in his soul.
Almost instantly he understood what was going on.
It's very simple. Using this golden finger in the palm of your hand to decompose synthetic substances requires the consumption of soul power.
It's just that his soul power has been strengthened several times, and he has never synthesized materials on such a large scale before, so he didn't feel anything and thought he could use it indefinitely.
Now that I have decomposed and synthesized too much in one breath, my soul power has been consumed too much, so I naturally feel a little tired.
Of course, I just feel tired now and can still continue working, but considering that I have classes tomorrow, I decided to wait until tomorrow.
Anyway, there is still a week before the instructor's test, so there is plenty of time to get these done.
After arranging work for his subordinates, Li Qing came out of the divine realm and fell asleep directly.
The next morning, I was full of energy and continued my classes.
There is not much to say about the basic courses. Most of them are theoretical knowledge. As long as you have a good memory and flexible thinking, you can get started quickly.
Extraordinary courses such as alchemy, blood studies, mutation studies, runes, etc. will not be taught now. You must take these basic theoretical courses to get started, and then learn a series of prerequisite basic courses before you can start learning.
It's like alchemy, which is divided into many schools.
The most common one is the potion school, which specializes in preparing various potions, various special magic potions, and so on.
The alchemy school is further divided into many schools, including the pure alchemy faction, the faction specializing in various special potions, and the extremely rare transformation faction. The famous Midas touch is a transformation faction.
Each extraordinary major is very complex, although there is no limit. In theory, you can study more than a dozen majors at once.
But studying just one profession would exhaust all a mage's energy, and few people would study multiple professions.
Five days later, Li Qing entered the divine realm after his routine two-hour meditation and saw an arc-shaped moat appearing in the east of the divine realm.
Three meters wide and one meter deep.
The bottom isn't very flat, but the depth is the same on both sides, and the soil isn't very hard, so it's not a big problem.
The next step was easy. Li Qing first put a five-meter-long section of the city wall piled at the edge into the space in his palm, and then flew to the northernmost end of the arc-shaped ditch with a gust of wind.
The internal diameter of the palm space is 100 meters, and the diameter of the space exit is 10 meters. As long as it does not exceed this size, it can be stored.
Aim the exit of the space in your palm at the groove dug below and slowly release the restraint.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound and the ground shaking, a section of solid stone wall five meters long, three meters wide and four meters high was embedded in the groove exactly one meter deep.
Thus, a city wall appeared that was three meters wide, three meters high, five meters long, and had a two-story corner tower at the end.
After a short rest, Li Qing moved the second section of the city wall and hoisted it above the trough section, and then lowered it next to the previous section.
Next begins the third, fourth and fifth sections, which include part of the city gate and gate tower.
It took nearly two hours, during which time the city wall was lifted up and lowered again and adjusted its position many times. A total of ten sections of the city wall were lowered.
A solid city wall 50 meters long, 3 meters wide and 3 meters high has been built.
Then place four hollow arrow towers behind the city wall, one on each side behind the city gate tower, and the other two in the middle of the left and right ends.
After doing all this, Li Qing circled back and forth above and to the left of the city wall to check if there was anything missing, and then slightly adjusted the direction.
Then he flew to the city gate tower and pinched his chin with his hand.
After pondering for a while, he reassembled the gate tower and the two large sections of city wall near the gate, and then began to make fine adjustments.
First, he needed to dig some vertical grooves on the left and right sides of the city gate, and then dig out two soldier hiding holes inside. In this way, if there were enemies crowded in the city gate, the defenders in the soldier hiding holes on the left and right could insert their weapons into the vertical grooves to stab the enemies in the city gate.
Then, make some small holes above the city gate that are too big for humans to fit through, so that you can poke down with spears from here.
Unfortunately, the city walls and gate towers are not big enough, and there is not enough room for operation. Many built-in defense facilities do not have enough space to be deployed.
After all, the city wall is only three meters wide, and the internal space cannot be dug too large, otherwise the stone wall will be too thin and easily smashed open by heavy weapons.
You have to know that this is a world with extraordinary powers. Some powerful extraordinary creatures above level six have strength comparable to that of a siege battering ram. The force of a full-strength attack is amazing. If the stone wall is not thick enough, it can be easily smashed open.
Fortunately, at this stage we don’t have to worry about encountering those high-level extraordinary creatures, so this ordinary stone wall is enough.
When we encounter powerful enemies of that level in the future, our divine domain will definitely be larger than this one. By then, we can build thicker walls, or use special stones to build stronger walls, or even install magic circles directly on the walls to resist damage.
By adjusting the space inside his palm, he directly decomposed part of the stone and dug out vertical grooves and soldier hiding holes just like carving.
And the most critical city gate slot.
There are two city gates made of wood. A thick gate is installed at the front end of the gate arch, that is, outside the city wall.
One is slightly thinner and is placed inside the city gate.
Normally, only the inner city gate is opened and closed, and the heavy outer city gate is only closed during war.
The thick city gate is made of two 20-centimeter-thick solid wooden boards. The left and right rotating shafts are about one meter higher than the city gate and are inserted deep into the stones on the left and right. This can ensure that the city gate can withstand the huge force of a car crash and will not easily break.
The left and right pivots behind the door are hollowed out to ensure that the city gate can be opened.
But there were no ball bearings or lubrication, which made the thick city gate very difficult to open and close.
The inner city gate is actually similar in style to the outer city gate, but the thickness of the gate is only 10 cm.
The gate tower, which weighed thousands of kilograms, was readjusted and directly taken out and placed in the center of the city wall. A city wall of initial scale has taken shape.
Standing on the tall city wall, looking down at the eastern space of the divine domain that seemed to be surrounded, Li Qing couldn't help but feel emotional.
"This thing is too powerful!"
With just one person's strength, he built a stone wall that was 50 meters long, 3 meters high and 3 meters wide in less than a week. No one would believe it if they told others about it.
Even if the legendary wizard continued to turn stones into mud and mud into stones to shape the shape of the city wall, no one could make a section of the city wall by hand as fast as he did.
In the early days, such a thick section of the city wall was almost impossible to break through.
After confirming that the city wall did not need to be adjusted, Li Qing gave an order and all the troops in the Divine Domain went up to the city walls and arrow towers and prepared for battle.
Then he rubbed his hands excitedly and took out a Kobold card.
I got 20 ogre cards from the five-star mentor Xiao Zhenqian before, and now they can finally come in handy.
First let his subordinates prepare for battle, Li Qing stood in front of the city gate tower and took out the card to activate it.
The card collapsed into a large piece of white light that fell on the open space east of the divine domain, and quickly transformed into dog-headed men.
"Archers ready!"
Li Qing took a step back, and two first-level imperial infantrymen immediately raised their shields to protect him. Three seconds later, he pointed at the dog-headed man on the empty wasteland outside the wooden shield and yelled:
"Shoot!"
The next second, twenty-seven level 0 and level 1 archers simultaneously released the arrows that had been charging for three seconds.
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, twenty-seven arrows flew out from the city wall and shot into the group of dog-headed people who had just been summoned and were still a little confused. Suddenly, a burst of howling sounded.
The kobolds who reacted all looked at the archers on the top of the city wall who were drawing the second arrow, and almost subconsciously swung their wooden and bone sticks and rushed towards the city wall. Ten second-level kobold throwers immediately raised their hands and threw the fist-sized stones in their hands at the top of the city wall.
A fist-sized stone, with the power of a second-level kobold thrower, can still cause great damage if it hits someone, and at least fractures are inevitable.
but……
The moment Stone was thrown, a thick wooden shield appeared in front of the archer who was targeted.
There was a series of muffled 'bang' sounds, and all the attacks were blocked.
