Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

541 Building the City in Half a Day

“No wonder this human army looks so powerful. It turns out to be the army of the Kingdom of Dawn. Now that they’ve been shut out by the Werewolves, I’m sure the kingdom won’t let this humiliation go!”

Due to the conflict that had taken place in front of the city gates, the foreign races Transcendents from all over the city climbed up the city walls one after another. They watched the human army leave and discussed among themselves.

Some of the foreign races knew about the Kingdom of Dawn. Although they didn’t know much, they knew that the kingdom was not to be trifled with.

When they saw Li Xiang and his group leave, their eyes were filled with gloating.

What kind of existence was the kingdom? It was an existence that had almost annihilated the Alliance of Gods’ army. With such strength, they were definitely the top force in the entire region.

Many big forces in the city knew that the army of the Kingdom of Dawn had arrived, but they still watched them being expelled and things were made difficult for them. They had other plans in mind.

To these foreign races, the food in the past had now suddenly climbed over their heads. The feeling of falling was definitely not good, so they naturally resisted and rejected it.

Some of them were even trying to infuriate the Human race with their words. As long as the Human race made a move, the millions of foreign race warriors in the city could easily kill them.

In their eyes, a mere 20,000 human army had no chance of winning against millions of foreign races.

Unfortunately, Li Xiang didn’t fall for it. Instead, he turned around and left, starting from scratch.

This made many of the foreign race leaders in the city even more afraid.

…

Not long after, Li Xiang and the others found the location to build the city. It was by the Heavenly River.

Li Xiang took out a Lord’s Cornerstone and placed it on the ground. Then, a castle rose from the ground.

After that, he invested some EXP and directly upgraded it to level 4. The castle transformed into a city, which was more than enough to accommodate 300,000 people.

Although it couldn’t be compared to the Huge Boulder City, it was still complete.

Then, he ordered 20,000 warriors to fetch water from the river and pour it all on the city wall.

Li Xiang, on the other hand, activated the Frost Law and froze the water on the city wall.

Compared to the original defensive capabilities of the city walls, the walls had become taller and thicker with constant watering. Moreover, the ice layer was extremely smooth, making it extremely difficult to climb. This gave the city walls a better defensive ability.

After that, he had the soldiers dig out huge rectangular holes in the ground and fill it with water, freezing them into ice bricks. Then, on top of the original foundation of the city wall, he added another layer to the outer wall. The two layers of ice walls and the original city walls were then extended to over 100 feet by using ice bricks.

Its magnificence was no less than that of Huge Boulder City. Although the area of the city was not very large, it could easily accommodate five hundred thousand people.

After the ice walls were built, Li Xiang summoned a Demon Mage to carve all kinds of runic magic circles on the city walls, increasing the defense of the entire city by another level and sealing all the cold air within. When one touched it, it was cold but not freezing.

In just half a day, a city was built by the riverbank.

Moreover, the city was not squarish as it used to be. After being reinforced by the ice, it had turned into an eight-sided city. From the sky, it looked like the Eight Trigrams.

Although this was only a temporary camp built by Li Xiang, it had all the necessary facilities. When he left, he just had to take the Lord’s Cornerstone away. It would not be a waste at all. Instead, it would leave behind an ice city.

This ice city had eight city gates, and each gate had a corresponding Eight Trigrams position. It turned the city into an array city.

At the same time, after the city was built, heaven and earth vitality naturally gathered towards the ice city.

“Building a city on the foundation of Eight Trigrams and turning it into an array can not only increase the defense but also have great killing power. When combined with the soldiers, it can even increase the strength of the array and the soldiers by several times. If there was an Eight Trigrams array diagram, hmph, the power of this array city would increase by tens or even hundreds of times! The entire city can become a supreme killing array.”

“With the ice city as a fortress and combined with an array, even 20,000 armies can easily defend against ten or even dozens of times the number of enemies. No matter how many enemies come, they will all die here.”

Ye Qiu introduced the city, full of confidence in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to build a city with eight gates as the foundation. However, he heard that Li Xiang had the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang grotto-heaven in his Tower of Stars. Thus he changed the plan to the Eight Trigrams array.

In a critical moment, the projection of the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang grotto-heaven would be equivalent to an array diagram. This could instantly increase the power of the array city. How could he not make use of such an advantage?

“Without the foreign races to hold us back, we don’t have to worry about our defense. Even with our Human race, we can still kill the Bug race until their blood flows like rivers. At that time, we will let those foreign races know how powerful the Human race is, and that they can’t afford to bully us!”

Li Xiang looked at the city with confidence and was very satisfied.

This Bug race disaster was destined to be the stage for the rise of the Human race.

“Country Lord, the city has been built. What are we going to do next?”

Zhao Yun could not help but run over and ask.

Alice suggested, “Country Lord, it’s estimated that it’ll take some time before the war starts. Now that the city had been built, it would be the best time to communicate with the other foreign races. Many foreign races are hostile to us, but there should also be some who want to make friends with us. It was a good opportunity for us to communicate with each other. The foreign races, who had always been far-sighted, would not let this opportunity go. After all, our Kingdom of Dawn isn’t a nobody in the Myriad World Continent!”

Li Xiang’s eyes flickered as if he had thought of something, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

“Tell me in detail!”

When Alice saw Li Xiang’s encouraging gaze, she was overjoyed and quickly said, “Benefits! As long as there were benefits, enemies could also be friends. We don’t want to have a deep relationship with them. We just want to exchange information, trade resources, and get what we want. Even if those foreign races are wary of us or even hostile, they can’t hold back to communicate with us.”

“True. Your idea reminds me. We can trade with foreign races for all sorts of items. I believe that in the process of the transaction, communication can be achieved. Not only will we be able to profit, but we will also obtain all kinds of useful information.”

“Yup! Although these foreign races were crude and barbaric, they had a lot of resources in their hands. Their civilization level was not high, and they were only strong because of transcendental power. In fact, their utilization of resources was extremely low. In terms of the mastery and research of various transcendent memories, no one would dare to say they’re on top of the Human race. It was just that the Human race has a weak constitution in the beginning. They didn’t master the power and resources, so they naturally didn’t have the opportunity to display this specialty. However, these skills are developing and improving rapidly in the Kingdom of Dawn, and they can be described as changing with each passing day. Anything we take out is enough to make these country bumpkins exclaim in admiration.”
