50: Chapter 50 Upgrading the Bronze Arrow Tower: Superb Additional Attributes

While conversing with Ariel, Loren arrived at the city walls.

The first thing that caught his eye was this brand-new arrow tower behind the wall.

After the reconstruction, the height of the arrow tower had increased from the original six meters to seven meters; it was divided into three levels, with dense firing ports on all four sides.

The outer wall of the arrow tower was nailed together with grey wood. This type of wood was extremely sturdy, and some beastmen even used it to craft weapons, capable of withstanding shots from smaller siege crossbows.

"Good day, benevolent Lord."

The three heads of the Construction Department immediately trotted over to bow and salute upon seeing Loren, their tone filled with respect.

"The arrow tower has been repaired and completed. Please inspect it."

The moment their words fell, the system notification chime arrived right on cue.

"Ding~ Task: Rebuild the arrow tower, completed.

Reward: elemental tower construction blueprint. The reward has been issued, please check it yourself."

The task Loren had been looking forward to most was finally completed.

A look of unconcealable joy appeared on his face; the elemental tower construction blueprint was definitely the first magical item in Bright Moon City.

Following the experience from the Papermaking task reward, he stopped in his tracks and began looking left and right...

Five minutes later, everyone was looking at Loren with confusion.

What was the Lord doing standing there?

Ten minutes later, Loren saw the strange gazes from the crowd and his mouth twitched. Where was the elemental tower construction blueprint? Where was the task reward?

He had been careless. The system was pulling a sneak attack, not playing by the rules.

He gave a light cough, swept his gaze across the crowd, and finally looked at Human Spearman Kur, who had been waiting here for the arrow tower to be completed.

His tone was composed.

"Kur, the arrow tower will be our core defensive strength in the future, a matter of utmost importance.

I leave the management of this place to you. You must familiarize yourself with the arrow tower's combat patterns as quickly as possible.

The Day of Blood is approaching, and danger has never left us."

This made the crowd's hearts tighten.

No one could ignore the natural disasters that occurred at the end of every month; even the naive and innocent young children were filled with vigilance and fear regarding it.

"Yes, Lord Loren, I will strictly follow your orders..."

Kur was also somewhat excited inside. After the Barbarians appeared, the status of the Human Soldiers had begun to drop sharply.

Even after changing jobs to become a Javelin Thrower, they could not compete with the Barbarians. They had to demonstrate more value to win Lord Loren's recognition!

After shifting everyone's attention, Loren's expression returned to calm, and he directly opened the territory attribute panel.

He focused his attention on two status bars.

Defensive Buildings: 1 Black Iron-tier arrow tower (can be upgraded to a bronze-tier arrow tower)

1 wooden city wall (can be upgraded to a grey earth city wall)

Soul Power: 1982

Over the past few days, because the Barbarians and Kobolds had gone out to scout the territory and hunted many magical beasts, his Soul Power had increased from just over 1000 to nearly 2000 points.

A flash of excitement crossed Loren's eyes. He had finally met the conditions to upgrade the arrow tower.

His heart was filled with anticipation.

Was his dragon-hunting crossbow about to be born?

"Ding~ Do you wish to consume 1000 points of Soul Power to upgrade the arrow tower?"

"Confirm."

The instant Loren made his choice, under the gaze of the surrounding crowd, a brilliant light erupted from his body.

The silver-white Bloodline Power made him appear like the bright moon, blinding and dazzling.

What was even more shocking was that the brilliant light on Loren's body spread directly outwards, enveloping the arrow tower over ten meters away.

Subsequently, under everyone's gaze, the power emanating from him began to modify the arrow tower in a shocking manner...

It was as if the most magical wonder in this world was unfolding right before their eyes.

Under the influence of the silver-white power, some discordant structures of the arrow tower slowly began to become neat, and unreasonable rivets began to be corrected...

Mysterious patterns began to emerge on the wooden board areas of the outer wall, as if they had been carved by someone with a chisel.

The surrounding magic was even more like being swallowed by a black hole, attaching itself to the mysterious patterns.

The arrow tower began to emit a magical fluctuation that made one's spirit sway.

The shocking changes lasted for dozens of breaths.

By the time the silver-white light on Loren's body faded, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

"What exactly did Lord Loren do? Why did the arrow tower undergo such a huge change!!?"

"Goddess above, is this, is this a miracle?"

"Incredible, this must be the power of magic. The Lord must be a powerful Spellcaster!!"

"I bet this is the most insane and astonishing scene I have ever seen..."

The arrow tower had shot up from 7 meters directly to 8 meters, and the mysterious patterns on the grey-brown outer wall radiated a faint bronze luster, filled with a thick magical fluctuation.

Coupled with the serious appearance of the arrow tower, it had an indescribable aura, like an ancient building that had crossed time and space and stood for millions of years.

It made people feel awe-struck.

The firing ports above appeared rounder after the modification, and the layout was also more reasonable. One could tell at a glance that this was definitely not an ordinary object.

Ariel, who witnessed all of this from the side, opened her small mouth wide, blushing, and looked at Loren with eyes full of worship.

Her tone held heartfelt admiration.

"Lord Loren, you are truly too amazing..."

Guard Officer Kur was even more heavily impacted, his face filled with indescribable fanaticism.

Was this the true Lord?

Modifying the arrow tower directly with his own power, this was simply comparable to a deity!!

The surrounding craftsmen also looked at this earth-shattering scene with disbelief.

Could an arrow tower even be repaired like this?

This kind of extraordinary power completely exceeded their cognition; it had already reached the level of magic or even higher.

Perhaps calling it a miracle would not be an exaggeration at all!

While everyone was exclaiming, Loren finally came back to his senses.

Looking at the crowd's fanatical gazes, he opened the attribute panel with anticipation.

Grey Eagle Territory

Level: Village/Town Level

Lord: Loren Grant (can view detailed attributes)

Special Attributes: Upgrade, Bright Moon Eternal

Evaluation: On the Endless Wasteland, only those adventurers dreaming of being a lord would build such a crude territory. Perhaps by the next Day of Blood, this territory will no longer exist.

After seeing the attributes on the territory panel, a pleasant arc hung from the corner of Loren's mouth.

A brilliant smile instantly appeared on his face.

The bronze-tier arrow tower had actually gained such a powerful trait.

Wind Power — Increases range by 20% and arrow flight speed by 30%.

These two attributes were a perfect buff for long-range units.

Increasing the range allowed them to launch attacks before the enemy even approached the city walls, seizing the initiative.

Faster arrow flight speed reduced the enemy's reaction time and increased hit rates.

Moreover, as long as the army entered the arrow tower, these traits would automatically take effect. This was a natural, built-in buff, stronger than the enhancement spells that Spellcasters had to recast every so often.

This 1000 Soul Power was well spent.

And more importantly, if he could build thirty or fifty arrow towers behind the city wall, and upgrade the arrow towers from Bronze to Silver, Gold, or even higher to Platinum, Extraordinary.

What a magnificent scene that would be.

Just the thought of enemies attacking Bright Moon City, with dozens of arrow towers firing simultaneously, arrows covering the sky, and enemy armies falling like cut wheat, made Loren unable to contain his excitement.

The importance he placed on the arrow tower in his heart immediately rose to the same height as Magic Paper.

The tower-building plan was definitely a go, absolutely a go.
