Tower Defense Lord, random Wishing Tower at the start of the game.

Chapter 5: The Wolves' Revenge

"bite."

"Obtained Magic Core Crystal *1".

"Obtained equipment: Wolfskin Pants *1"

The Gray Wolf Treasure Chest is a low-level monster nest treasure chest.

Getting two items at once is already a very high drop rate.

Both items are particularly good.

Magic Core Crystals are essential for upgrading special defense towers.

only one.

Upgrading the Wishing Tower to LV2 requires 100 Wishing Tower Tokens, which can be stored directly in the warehouse.

Wolfskin pants are a green item, better than the standard white one.

[Name]: Wolfskin Pants

[Quality]: Green

[Durability]: 20

[Attribute]: Stamina +10

[Note]: Low-level equipment is sufficient for defense against low-level monsters.

Leather pants, suitable for both ranged and melee units.

Victor and Alice are mage-type units whose damage output mainly relies on their own stamina, and increasing their physical strength does not provide a significant boost.

Wolfskin pants are more suitable for Arthur and Rhea.

Arthur's main focus is on leveling up.

Lin Chuan equipped Rayya, the marksman, to enhance his sustained attack capabilities.

[Name]: Rayark

[Level]: LV1 (0/100)

[Stamina]: 60 (50+10)

Energy: 30

[Talent]: Archery Mastery

[Skills]: None

[Equipment]: Iron bow, iron arrows, wolfskin trousers

[Note]: Ranged physical units that are skilled in using bows and arrows can gain a ranged damage aura when they are promoted to hero.

The spoils from conquering the wolf's den significantly boost the territory's strength.

"You have to fight monsters to level up quickly."

Lin Chuan opened the map and selected the second monster nest.

The wild boar's den is not far from its territory, near the spider's den.

There are 30 monsters in the boar's lair.

Moreover, wild boars are stronger in combat than gray wolves.

Of course, the returns are also substantial.

Defeating these wild boars will definitely level Arthur up to level 5.

However, the risk factor is also high.

With the territory's current strength, it's impossible to take down the wild boar's lair.

Even if you manage to capture it, there may be casualties among certain special units.

"Upgrade your territory first."

"Train more militia before taking action."

After taking over the gray wolf's den, the conditions for upgrading the territory are met.

Select the tent for upgrade.

"Ding-dong."

"Upgrade the tent to LV5 to unlock the buildings: lumberyard and farmland."

The new logging camp can be used to research logging technology, increase farmers' efficiency in cutting down trees, and store wood.

Farmland provides a stable source of food.

Only with a stable food supply can a sufficient number of soldiers be supported.

Open the building panel and build a logging camp next to the forest.

As the bushes were harvested, the berries shrank by more than half.

Two farmers were selected to cultivate the farmland.

"Ding-dong."

"The logging camp has been completed."

"Farmland reclamation completed."

Next, we studied the logging technology of the logging camp.

100 gold coins per time.

"Ding-dong, research attempts +5, logging quantity +5."

Five plots of farmland were reclaimed, each producing 1000 units of grain per day.

It also requires a significant amount of water.

The amount of water produced by the sweetwater well each day is fixed.

It's too wasteful to irrigate farmland with sweet water.

Lin Chuan took some of the sweet water to the mall and exchanged it for river water for irrigation.

The farmland has begun to operate.

It can increase the territory's food production by 5000 units per day.

A militiaman (LV5) consumes a fixed 50 units of food per day.

He can support 100 militiamen.

Lin Chuan casually upgraded the other buildings in his territory to LV5.

The population reached a maximum of 100.

"The militia will definitely have to participate in the attack on the wild boar's lair."

"Ten is too few."

"Train 60 militiamen."

The selected barracks training camp was used to supplement the ranks by 50.

"And weapons."

"Wooden sticks and wooden shields won't work."

The blacksmith shop also began forging LV5 standard equipment.

Before Lin Chuan could get ready...

Night had already fallen.

The sun sets.

The forbidden area of ​​the tower defense welcomed its second night.

Compared to the sweltering heat during the day, the temperature drops sharply at night.

At the same time, the roars of monsters echoed outside the territory.

"Awoo."

"Wolf?"

Lin Chuan felt a slight tightening in his heart.

"Could it be that the monsters retaliated after we breached their lair during the day?"

The Tower Defense Lord system then popped up a notification.

"Ding-dong."

"You have breached the gray wolf's den. The gray wolves' hatred level has increased, and a large number of gray wolves will attack your territory tonight."

As expected, my guess was correct.

Breaking into a monster's lair comes at a price.

Monsters will gather and attack in the forbidden area at night.

"Awoo."

Outside the territory, pairs of wolf eyes gleamed with hatred as they stared at Lin Chuan's territory.

"It's unclear how many gray wolves lurk in the darkness."

"I wonder if eight arrow towers are enough."

Lin Chuan was also unsure at this moment.

"If only there were a city wall."

"As long as the road is blocked, even a fierce attack by the gray wolves will not be able to break through the city walls."

With that in mind, Lin Chuan opened the store and sent a message in the market channel.

"Acquire blueprints for city walls, using sweet water as a trading currency."

Compared to the daytime, the temperature is lower at night, so the need for water is not as urgent.

But many lords suffered from thirst during the day.

Some lords also got diarrhea after drinking unclean water.

We now know the value of clean, sweet water during the sweltering heat.

So this time there was no sarcastic or cynical tone like before.

Many people have been asking Lin Chuan to buy sweet water.

"100 gold coins for a barrel, Lin Chuan, wanna trade?"

"I'll offer 200!"

"300!"

"The daily production of sweet water is limited, and it is only used to exchange for high-value items."

Sweetwater wells don't produce unlimited amounts of water, so Lin Chuan doesn't plan to exchange them for gold coins for the time being.

We still have plenty of resources at our disposal.

"I have a blueprint for a stone city wall, can I exchange it for one?"

Lin Chuan received a private message.

"want."

"Ten bamboo tubes".

Lin Chuan quoted a price directly, and the other party seemed to want to make a hefty profit.

They proposed 100 bamboo tubes.

"I'm not changing it."

Asking for too much money shows they're not sincere.

The other party seemed certain that Lin Chuan would definitely come looking for him.

A moment later, someone else found Lin Chuan.

"Wooden city wall blueprints."

"Only exchange for 10 bamboo tubes of sweet water."

"Brother Lin Chuan, can we exchange it?"

"Change!"

For Lin Chuan, any city wall would suffice.

Whether it's made of wood or stone, as long as it can block the way and create a safe space for the arrow towers to fire, that's fine.

After the transaction is completed.

Lin Chuan immediately accelerated construction.

With the blueprints in hand and the materials prepared, construction was completed quickly.

"Ding-dong."

"Build 1 wooden city wall".

Lin Chuan built the city wall at the intersection, blocking the gray wolf pack from view.

It has just been completed.

In the darkness, the gray wolf howled.

One after another, gray wolves emerged from the darkness and pounced on Lin Chuan's territory.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The repeating crossbow towers launched the first attack.

Workshop Technology has been fully upgraded.

Although it's just a regular arrow tower, its damage is by no means weak.

The gray wolf, a common creature found in forbidden areas, can be easily breached with a single crossbow bolt.

Long arrows pierced the gray wolves' bodies, pinning them to the ground outside.

Behind the city wall.

Victor and Rhea also joined the defense.

During the lulls in the crossbow towers' attacks, Victor's fireballs filled the gaps.

One fireball can take down a gray wolf.

After exhausting their energy, they retreated.

Raya added it.

The iron arrow flew straight at the gray wolf; no aim was needed, a single shot was enough to severely injure it.

Alice used healing magic to restore Raya's strength.

Arthur commanded the militia to raise their spears and brace them against the wooden city wall.

Gray wolves darted in, waving their claws and slapping at the city wall, trying to destroy its durability.

The militiaman thrust out his spear, and the gray wolf was pierced through.

Crossbows, squads, and militia formed a three-tiered defense, making it difficult for the gray wolf pack to even touch the edge of the wooden city wall.

A dozen minutes later.

The pack of wolves, which had been advancing wave after wave, disappeared.

The howling of wolves ceased in the darkness.

"Ding-dong."

"The entire gray wolf pack was wiped out."

"Congratulations on stopping the wolves' revenge. You have been awarded 1 Wolf Fang Tower Upgrade Blueprint."

"Kill 50 vengeful wolves and gain 1000 experience points."
