43: Chapter 43 Heroic Building – The General's Mansion!

Opening the hero panel, three newly unlocked buildings came into view.

These three were precisely the Hero Buildings capable of summoning hero-Rank units.

From left to right, they were the Foundry, Astrology Tower, and General Summoning Platform.

None of these three buildings required resources to construct, but currently, only one could be chosen.

Depending on the unique characteristics of each building, the hero classes summoned would also be completely different.

Su Yang clicked on the three building options one by one to view the specific details of what they could summon.

[Hero Building: Foundry]

[Summoned Hero Class: Heavenly Artisan]

[Great Qin Heavenly Artisan, casting all phenomena; inheriting the techniques of ancient sages, creating chapters of the future, all that is produced is magnificent and majestic, a brilliance reflecting through the ages.]

[Building Characteristics: The Foundry is the research and development site for Heavenly Artisan units. Unlocking the Foundry grants access to exclusive weapon R&D and upgrades, as well as exclusive Imperial Armor manufacturing, modification, and a series of other craft-related content.]

[Development Strategy: National Heavy Weaponry]

[Establish academies, open workshops, cast National Heavy Weaponry, promote the majesty of Great Qin, illuminate all directions with the light of a thousand machines, and flourish for ten thousand generations.]

[Strategy Effect: All research and construction time within the territory is reduced by 20%.]

Heavenly Artisan, the hero-Rank unit summoned by the Foundry.

Simply put, they are characters akin to ancient scientists and inventors.

And the Foundry is clearly a large-scale factory.

In addition to summoning hero-Rank units, Hero Buildings also bring a development strategy called "National Heavy Weaponry" to the territory.

A development strategy is a nations development policy; it is a very important factor in the Forbidden Area Trial and is closely related to the characteristics of the chosen civilization.

Back then, various lords would rather abandon the advantages of modern technology to return to their own most glorious eras, precisely because they considered the development strategies related to their chosen civilizations.

Some focus on agricultural production, some vigorously develop industry, some emphasize friendly exchanges, and others are keen on military conquest.

Those powerful Dynasties in history often possessed a set of sound national strategies.

In the Late Stage, a good development strategy has an even greater influence.

Take "National Heavy Weaponry" for example; its initial effect can reduce all research and construction time across the entire territory by 20%.

This is not a one-time reduction that only affects a single unit like the Heart of the Hive, but a continuous BUFF.

Furthermore, as the Foundry upgrades, the BUFF effect will become increasingly stronger.

One must know that in the Late Stage, research starts at the unit of days; this effect can save a massive amount of time for the territory.

Aside from the strategy, there is the function of the Foundry itself, which possesses a series of effects such as exclusive weapon R&D and exclusive Imperial Armor manufacturing.

When he saw the word "exclusive," Su Yang wondered if this Foundry could also forge a set of Imperial Armor for him.

However, with a formidable enemy at the gates, now was not the time to consider this question.

Switching options.

[Hero Building: Astrology Tower]

[Summoned Hero Class: Tactical Aide]

[The talent of a Tactical Aide; using mountains and rivers as camps, stars and moon as formations; gathering the essence of the Universe, controlling the great power of heaven and earth, devising strategies from within the command tent, and revealing the path of the future.]

[Building Characteristics: The Astrology Tower is the observation site for Tactical Aide units. Unlocking the Astrology Tower grants access to special area and event precognition, probability prediction, and a series of other encounter-related content.]

[Development Strategy: Times of Peace and Abundance]

[The Dao of the stars, the foundation of national fortune, the principle of the Universe; appointing star officials to observe celestial phenomena everywhere, explaining starlight in detail, mastering the timing of heaven, knowing the national fortune; hoping for favorable weather, and securing the nation.]

[Strategy Effect: All mineral veins, resources, and loot within the territory are increased by one Rank in quality.]

Like the Foundry, the Astrology Tower also possesses corresponding functions and hero units.

The Foundry corresponds to research-related effects, while the Astrology Tower corresponds to resource acquisition.

Whether it is obtaining information on special resources or upgrading the quality of resources already possessed, these are extremely powerful effects.

In the Late Stage, some hidden special resources almost have the effect of turning the tide; the ability to foresee their existence must be terrifying.

Not to mention upgrading resource quality; it is a tangible increase to the stats.

Accelerating resource production speed, improving equipment effects, and so on.

If not for the need for combat power, Su Yang would have no idea how to choose.

Reluctantly exiting the Astrology panel, he clicked on the last option.

[Hero Building: Generals Mansion]

[Summoned Hero Class: Garrison General]

[The army that guards the nation, the foundation of the state, the pillar of Great Qin; donning armor and wielding weapons, conquering the four seas, devouring the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon with their Qi, and shaking the Universe and galaxy with their might.]

[Building Characteristics: The Generals Mansion is the summoning site for Garrison General units. Unlocking or upgrading the Generals Mansion allows for the summoning of a general unit, and the training and upgrading of general skills.]

[Development Strategy: Power Over the World]

[War is a matter of life and death, the path to survival or extinction; issuing decrees in all directions, recruiting elite troops extensively, tempering the army; hoping to revitalize the national fortune and shake the four seas with majesty.]

[Strategy Effect: All command points obtained through kills are increased by 20%.]

As expected of a Great Qin military strategy, increasing the command points obtained from killing enemies is simple and brutal.

This can greatly increase the efficiency of obtaining command points in the early stage.

After viewing the three hero-Rank buildings, Su Yang was stirred.

Garrison Generals fight on the front lines, Heavenly Artisans provide excellent combat equipment, and Tactical Aides increase resource acquisition speed to provide logistics.

Army, equipment, logistics—as long as these three are combined, they can make Great Qin an indefatigable machine of conquest!

It is hard to imagine how magnificent the scene will be when it all takes shape!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Su Yang paused on the Generals Mansion option.

According to multiple intelligence reports sent back by Scouts, it has been confirmed that there are new Bug Swarm Tide units tonight.

And they are not just ordinary elite-Rank units; the new units are several times larger than the Giant Insects that appeared before.

Heavenly Artisans and Tactical Aides are both units skewed towards development and logistics.

Although their effects are powerful, choosing them cannot bring immediate combat power.

Only by building the Generals Mansion and summoning a general unit can he ensure they survive the Bug Swarm Tide tonight.

No longer hesitating, Su Yang let his thoughts flash, and he confirmed the construction of the Generals Mansion.

[Selection complete, Generals Mansion under construction...]

Putting down the blueprint, a building with an area second only to the lords residence rose abruptly in the east of the territory.

Like the Level 3 lords residence, the exterior of the Generals Mansion was crafted from two types of metal: copper and iron.

The cyan and black materials blended and complemented each other.

Combined with unique carvings, the entire building was guaranteed to be magnificent and imposing while not losing its warmth.

Looking at its volume, which was twice as large as the Imperial Armor Camp, Su Yang could not help but look forward to what kind of existence would be summoned from it!

Opening the Generals Mansion panel...
