Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 373 - 299: Final Challenge Defensive Layout

At the same time, he also set up ten Tier One Spike Traps near the road barriers to assist in defense.

This was not the end. He then placed ten scattered Tier One Grass Huts further away.

These grass huts are cheap to build and have low durability; their only purpose is to distract the monster swarm's attention and absorb some of the attacks.

This kind of basic construction is low-cost but yields significant defense benefits.

After completing the setup, he instructed ten farmers to begin building on the spot. Zong Shen started planning the layout of the trenches in front of and behind the road barriers. He planned to set up three trenches in the distance range of 150 to 350 meters from the city walls.

Each trench consists of 12 to 15 segments, and each segment is excavated to a specification of 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep. This means there are 36 to 45 segments outside each city wall, combined with the scattered road barriers, forming an irregular defensive line.

When dealing with clustered Burrow Monsters, there's no need to set up a neat defense line, as this scattered defense line is less susceptible to targeting and destruction by Burrow Heroes.

The excavated soil from the trenches shouldn't be discarded. It can be used to build a solid small earth wall, over a meter high and two meters thick, outside the outer trench to change the movement path of the Burrow Monsters.

For the rest of the territory, he arranged similarly, with various defense plans being extremely casual, with no discernible pattern, even marking the trench locations simply with branches on the ground. This randomness creates chaos outside the territory, making it difficult for invaders to find any pattern to break through.

After completing the setup, manpower was evenly distributed in the four directions. Farmers took charge of construction, kobolds, and warriors were responsible for trench excavation. Mining pickaxes replaced shovels as digging tools. Although not as effective, they sufficed. With so many hands working simultaneously, Zong Shen estimated that everything would be completed by eight or nine tonight.

After death, the Burrow Monsters dissolve into pus and merge into the ground, so there's no need to worry about body blockage. At most, the damage caused by Burrow Monsters trampling over might need consideration.

This is where the warriors and defense buildings of the territory need to intervene. The Wolf Cavalry can disperse and patrol on the outer large map, without needing to be confined inside the city.

At that time, three Wolf Rider Squads will act together, preambulating outside the territory. Once the Burrow Monster Swarm gathers to attack the territory, they can be notified to approach and launch attacks from the rear on the monster swarm's periphery.

After arranging the external defense deployments in four directions, Zong Shen and Marie returned to the territory to begin arranging the eleven Tier Four special Arrow Towers at hand.

In their possession are two Tier Four Tower of Thunder with a 500-meter range. After some calculations, Zong Shen and Marie decided to place these two Tower of Thunder, one on each side of the courtyard, providing a range of two to three hundred meters for several outer directions.

The range of the Tower of Thunder is not particularly long, so its ultra-long-range output capability is not considered. In this position, it's sufficient to attack areas beyond the trench lines.

Two of the three Tier Four Moon Blade Towers are placed at the midpoint of the territory's east and west city walls, while the remaining one is placed 20 meters north of the Lord's Courtyard.

The Tier Four Moon Blade Tower has a range of 1250 meters, enough to cover the entire Inner City of the territory, offering a substantial range overflow in all directions. This arrangement achieves a balanced setup.

Next are the two Tier Four Giant Crossbow Towers. The Giant Crossbow Tower has an ultra-long range and can enter Sniper Mode. One is placed in the middle of each of the east and west directions.

The remaining three Tier Four Holy Light Towers are auxiliary defense towers for the Undead Race but aggressive defense towers. The 500-meter coverage is enough to encompass two to three hundred meters inside and outside the territory.

Considering the depth direction around the territory, the northern defense pressure is minimal because the north is burial ground and forest, with relatively fewer Burrow Monsters, lacking the depth and terrain for monster swarm gathering.

In contrast, the east, west, and south are relatively flat and vast directions, prone to large monster swarms.

Therefore, Zong Shen decided to place one Holy Light Tower in the middle of the south, while the remaining two Holy Light Towers, like the Moon Blade Tower and the Giant Crossbow Tower, are placed in the middle of the east and west sides.

Now only the last special defense tower remains, a Tier Four Necromancer Tower.

The Necromancer Tower is unique, with no effective range per se. Its effect is to summon Skeleton Warriors, Archers, and Mages at regular intervals.

However, placing it in the highest pressure position allows the summoned Skeleton Warriors, Archers, and Mages to join the battle more quickly, as summoned creatures have a time limit.

This special defense tower is not suitable for placement at the center of the territory; otherwise, the summoned creatures would waste time just running from inside to outside the territory.

Zong Shen thought carefully, considering the southwest is his hunting blind spot, possibly with a higher monster density, so he decided to place this Tier Four Necromancer Tower in the southwest corner of the territory.

After all, this is a temporary setup. Once the Burrow Challenge ends and city planning starts, all defense towers will be relocated to designated positions for a final plan, so the current randomness does not matter.

After arranging the deployment positions for these eleven Tier Four special defense towers, Zong Shen handed it over to Marie for full management. As a Heroic Level talent, Zong Shen had already granted her Construction privileges. The complete blueprint allows for automatic construction with a short required time.

Marie only needs to place the specified defense towers in designated positions, which involves no technical complexity and is merely a running errand.

After arranging the territory's defense layout, Zong Shen once again mounted Pigsy, leaving the North City Gate, heading towards the Burrow Frontline position.

The Burrow Frontline position has persisted for 6 days and no longer needs to be maintained. The benefits of distributing forces are less than concentrating defense, so Zong Shen plans to go to the Burrow Frontline to notify Wenresa and the frontline combat squads to fall back.

Meanwhile, he and Wenresa also need to move back the frontline Arrow Towers and two Tier Three city walls.

Though the two Tier Three city walls are of little use, relocating them to the territory's periphery as obstructions can still be beneficial.

As he advanced, it was already after one forty in the afternoon, and the Burrow Monsters are scattered along the way, no longer replicating the crammed scenes of the past few days with Burrow Monsters everywhere.

As the Burrow Challenge nears its end, such a decrease in Burrow Monster density can hardly recover.

This is because the sparse presence of Burrow Monsters around the territory is a result of Zong Shen's team persistently eliminating nearby Burrow Monsters for 6 days, not something recoverable in a mere day.

To once again see the ground full of Burrow Monster swarms, the final challenge needs to commence, specifically attracting those swarms.

Zong Shen rode Pigsy forward, reflecting on the six days of the Burrow Challenge, feeling a bit nostalgic.

In less than ten days since landing, six days were occupied by the Burrow Challenge, significantly altering many development habits, and tomorrow the Burrow Challenge will officially end.

Thinking about it indeed leaves a complex feeling.
