160 Base Defense War 3 (1/2)
• The Guard Tower of the Desert (Lv 1) has been completed.
• Through the exceptional construction abilities of a skilled architect, all combat abilities have increased by 20%.
• The public order of the base has increased by 5.
• From now on, 'Elemental Magic Defense Towers' can be built.
• Do you wish to check the information of the Guard Tower of the Desert (Lv 1)?
Ian, who stood in front of the Guard Tower that was wrapped in a white light and stood tall towards one side of the rampart, read through the messages that popped up along with the completion of the construction as he nodded his head.
”I will check.”
As he did so, information related to the Guard Tower popped up in front of Ian's eyes.

Inherent Ability
*Steel Catapult
When attacking, a steel catapult with a 15% chance of ignoring 50% of the opponent's Defensive Power is launched.
The destructive power of the steel catapult is 150% of its basic Offensive Power.
It is the most basic defense building the desert tribes can build on a base.
Although its Attack Speed is on the slower side, if hit, there will be an unavoidably large amount of damage.
”Keuh!”
After reading through the explanation, an exclamation naturally flowed out of Ian's mouth.
This was because, although it was a normal defense tower that was exceptional in single targeting and couldn't even have an Inherent Ability, its abilities were tremendous.
'As expected… Even though it is a basic tower, is it like this because it's the central continent?'
As the map where the base was built itself was a different class from the northern continent from the beginning, even the basic towers had such incredible combat abilities.
On top of that, thanks to having brought over an exceptional architect NPC who was in charge of almost all of the construction in the northern continent domain, they were even granted additional stats, so it had outrageous stats to be calling it a basic defense tower.
”They'll be completed in order now, right?”
Ian mumbled as he surveyed the defense towers that were being built along the rampart.
And shortly after, just like he said, they began to be completed in clockwise order.
• The Guard Tower of the Desert (Lv 1) has been completed.
• The Guard Tower of the Desert (Lv 1) has been completed.
Ian wore a pleased expression.
”The money that was poured in wasn't a waste!”
At the thought that they could now block off the attacks of Desert Warriors even with their eyes closed, laughter continuously flowed from Ian's mouth.
Fiolan, who stood next to Ian and watched the grand sight of the defense towers being completed with him, asked him.
”Ian, then are you planning on building higher-ranking towers now? Thanks to the training ground, we do have enough funds…”
Ian nodded his head as he replied.
”We should. The performance of the basic guard tower is satisfying, but still, as it is a single target-type and on top of that, its attack speed is slow, if they come in floods, there will definitely be a limit.”
The Elemental Magic Defense Tower, which was the defense tower that was just one step above the basic tower, was a defense tower that could attack using AoE magic.
As they had arranged enough single target-type towers, it was definitely now time to build AoE attack towers.
Ian continued his words.
”And as we build elemental magic towers, let's extend the rampart more as well. I think that we'll need at least three layers for the defense wall to be at ease, for me that is.”
At those words, Fiolan's two eyes slightly rounded.
”Three layers? If you plan on doing that, the resources and the labour force that is required will be tremendous.”
Ian nodded his head.
”That's right. Since we're going to build it twice from the outer wall, the volume will also increase more than the pre-existing rampart. However, it is necessary. I have too much of a bad feeling right now.”
”About what?”
”I'm talking about how we don't know how far the Luspel Empire's Line of Defense will be pushed back.”
Fiolan scratched the back of her head as she spoke.
”Pfft, still, it probably won't be pushed back further than the line that our base is on. I think that since other guilds are also building a line of defense on the line that our base is on, if the line of defense is formed around here, we should be able to block them off, no?”
However, Ian was incredibly pessimistic.
”I'm not sure…”
Fiolan opened her mouth again.
”But even if we set aside the resources, we lack manpower. In order to extend the rampart as well, even if we employ all of the manpower we have, I think it will take a couple months.”
Truthfully, Ian was also worried about this part the most.
This was because there was even a limit to pulling over manpower from the outside using money.
However, just then, Herz, who was just silently listening to the two people's conversation, opened his mouth.
”Jinsung, I have a good idea.”
And Fiolan and Ian's gazes turned towards Herz at the same time.
”What kind of idea?”
At Ian's question, Herz grinned as he replied.
”Let's ask your fan club to help out a little.”
”Fan club? What are you talking about?”
Instead of Ian, who wore a puzzled expression as he didn't know the English words, Fiolan agreed enthusiastically as she raised her voice.
”Ah, right. There's that method. If it is them, they may be a little willing to gladly help us.”
”Huhu, as long as we prepare a small reward in return for their work, that is.”
