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

Chapter 14: Holy Light Monastery

The architecture of the Holy Light Monastery.

It can produce monks who wield the Holy Light, but requires a Holy Light Priest hero to function.

This building held no value for Ma Yan.

Lords all know that hero units are extremely valuable.

It is the key to venturing out and exploring the forbidden world of tower defense.

Some special buildings also require this type of unit to operate.

It's just that obtaining hero units is quite difficult.

You need to acquire special units first, and then upgrade them gradually.

Ma Yan's strength is not great, and her territory is already starting to lack resources for development.

There simply aren't enough extra resources to purchase special units.

This building was useless to him.

If we can trade it out and get a decent piece of equipment, we can enter the secret realm to find some resources.

On the contrary, it can allow the territory's strength to grow rapidly.

He had approached other lords before, but unfortunately, none of them offered him a replacement.

It's not that the equipment is bad, it's just that there's a current shortage of it.

After seeing the equipment Lin Chuan brought out for the trade.

Ma Yan nervously sent him a message.

"Hopefully it will sell."

"Otherwise, I don't know how I'd get through tonight!"

Even without attacking the monster's lair, monsters will still launch attacks at night in the forbidden area of ​​the tower defense.

The number is not that many, but it is showing a trend of increasing day by day.

This forces lords to upgrade their towers as quickly as possible, because once the arrow towers can no longer hold off the monsters, it will be time for death to come.

Ma Yan stared nervously at the chat box, waiting for the message, while praying inwardly.

suddenly.

A notification message came through.

Ma Yan hurriedly opened it.

"Can."

What follows is a fine iron sword with +12 damage.

This is top-tier equipment.

They hurriedly uploaded the blueprints to complete the transaction.

They were afraid that Lin Chuan would change his mind.

"Finally, we have weapons."

"I also got a leather armor that gives +1 stamina before."

"Entering the secret realm now is practically guaranteed."

Just as Ma Yan was brimming with confidence, new news popped up again.

I saw that it was sent by Lin Chuan.

She couldn't help but feel a sudden panic.

"Is it possible that the deal is being cancelled?"

"They must have seen the monastery's request."

"No way, even if it means being a liar, we have to back out."

She opened the message with a mischievous grin on her face, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the contents.

"Phew, it's not a canceled deal."

"It's about collecting items."

We need some job transition manuals for skilled workers.

Offer a high price to buy.

Ma Yan touched her chin.

She also knew that the strength of the territory in the later stages would be divided into two parts.

With strong enough arrow towers, you can defend your territory and survive indefinitely.

Then there are the territorial legions, which are the sharpest sword for the territory's external expansion.

A proper lord should have both strong defensive arrow towers and an elite army that can expand.

To maintain an army, a large amount of resources are required, and the output must be stable.

This requires a larger territory and more technical and logistical units.

"Lin Chuan has developed so quickly!"

"They've actually started preparing to build a stable legion."

"I'm so envious."

This was all Ma Yan could think of, but Lin Chuan's true strength was far greater than she imagined.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll sell it to you once I find it."

......

At this time, within Lin Chuan's territory.

Lin Chuan added every lord he traded with as a friend.

They can't send them the items they want.

Once you find it, you can trade it for equipment.

These lords who can afford to buy their own equipment have been selected and are far stronger than those in the market or store.

Lin Chuan is preparing to build his own small trading group.

By utilizing these powerful lords, one can search for the resources needed in various secret realms.

After acquiring the monastery.

Lin Chuan built it within the territory.

Alice was able to become a priestess at the monastery.

"Ding-dong."

"The monastery is now complete."

Name: Holy Light Monastery

[Level]: LV6

[Pastor]: Alice

[Nun]: 0/6

[Note]: This building is used to train Holy Light Sisters. Only female units can enter and receive training.

Lin Chuan selected six female farmers from among the grassroots farmers and sent them in.

"Your Lordship"

"They do not meet the training criteria."

Alice said with some regret.

"These farmers are too stupid. I need someone smarter, more determined, and preferably someone who has experienced hardship."

Lin Chuan wasn't surprised that there were conditions for becoming a nun.

I just didn't expect that basic farmers would be completely unable to meet this requirement.

"Then we'll just have to wait a while."

Send the basic farmers back to Lia.

At this moment, Rhea, who had gone out to conduct reconnaissance, also returned.

"My lord."

"This is the intelligence I've gathered through reconnaissance."

.....

The location of the goblin's lair was known before.

Raya's main task this time was to conduct further reconnaissance and gather intelligence on the number of goblins and their leader.

"The goblin's lair is located inside a cave at the foot of the hill."

"Easy to defend, difficult to attack."

"These goblins are quite intelligent; they dug numerous traps and fake paths inside the cave."

"There are about a hundred goblins found outside, and at least twice that number inside."

"Besides that, there are quite a few special goblins here."

"They seem to have awakened magical abilities."

Hearing this, Lin Chuan was slightly surprised.

"magic?"

Raya nodded seriously.

"I saw them casting spells to hunt."

"The one who unleashed this skill was just a minor leader."

"The goblin leader's strength is likely equivalent to that of a formal mage."

Lin Chuan stood up and pondered for a moment.

That sounds a bit tricky.

But Lin Chuan saw it as a tremendous opportunity.

If we can take over this goblin lair, we'll definitely have plenty of magic cores, as well as equipment and blueprints.

Most importantly, the opportunity to advance to the level of a novice mage might be obtained from this goblin mage.

"Ryeah".

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Go and gather Arthur and the others."

"Yes, ma'am."

......

Previously, attacking the beast's lair could have been left to the heroes.

This time it's targeting goblin intelligent beings.

Lin Chuan needs to develop a more detailed battle plan to minimize casualties as much as possible.

This is also why he summoned the heroes.

The terrain surrounding the goblin lair was projected using the Lord system's battle sandbox.

The text above indicates the strength of the user's own forces, as well as the known forces in the goblin lair.

"Judging from the surrounding terrain..."

"If our territory wants to continue exploring, we must conquer this lair."

Lin Chuan pointed to the map and said.

"Besides that, the goblin lair itself is a treasure trove."

"Killing them will yield a lot of resources."

"We need to take it down as quickly as possible during the day."

What are your thoughts?

Of the five hero units, only Arthur and Raya are suitable for commanding legions in battle; the other three are not particularly adept at it.

Raya spoke first.

"My lord, we are at a disadvantage in terms of overall troop strength."

"But we are stronger in terms of elite troops."

"Concentrate elite forces for surprise attacks, accumulate small victories, and gradually weaken the enemy to strengthen yourself."

Raya is well-suited to command scout battles.

His suggestion was also about using scouts in warfare, but this method required a lot of time.

Lin Chuan didn't want to drag it out for too long.

Besides the unpredictable dangers of the forbidden area, the monsters there can also mutate and become even stronger due to battles.

Furthermore, goblins have a high reproductive rate; the longer the time drags on, the more they reproduce.

The only way to defeat a goblin lair is with a quick victory.

Lin Chuan shook his head, rejecting Raya's suggestion.

Arthur pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Then we'll assemble the militia for a frontal battle."

"Then, after being defeated, we retreated, leading the goblins to our territory, where we used our territory to inflict massive casualties on the goblins."

"Afterwards, an elite squad stormed into the goblin lair."

"If all goes well, the battle can be ended during the day."

A well-planned and methodical battle strategy, with Arthur commanding the infantry, is also suitable for infantry warfare.

But Lin Chuan still thought it was too slow.

If the battle doesn't go well, it will drag on until night.

At night, he would face an attack by at least three thousand goblins.

Unable to kill goblins during the day and convert loot into strength.

Whether the city can withstand the siege of three thousand goblins at night remains to be seen.

He stood up, stared at the sand table for a moment, and then spoke.

"Why don't you listen to me?"

"Barecloth!"

The heroes looked up, their faces showing confusion.

"Barecloth?"
