Sui Xiong stayed in the sky above the territory of Keane for almost a week. He carefully looked at the situation of the territory and found that there was really nothing that needed his help. Everything was on the right track, and there were no positions that were particularly short of people. There were no natural or man-made disasters recently, and there were no enemies around.
The country was peaceful, and the weather was good. Naturally, there was no need for the protection of immortals.
Sui Xiong felt a little disappointed, but he couldn't let others suffer just for his own satisfaction. There was no such logic in the world!
So, after going back and forth around the territory of Keane twice, he had nothing to do, so he took back this doppelganger and continued to focus on building Rye Fortress.
The original Rye Fortress was strong enough, but it was only strong. No matter if it was external or internal, it didn't have enough means of defense. Except for the strong high wall, there was almost nothing that it could take out.
Sui Xiong first expanded its scale, and designed two layers of walls. The outer wall was slightly lower, and the inner wall was higher. There was a rather wide distance between the two layers of walls, which was the so-called "barbican" design.
Not only that, but Sui Xiong also installed ballistas on the outer wall and catapults on the inner wall. Large ballistas and counterweight catapults had long been invented in this world, but such powerful weapons were rarely placed on the city walls. There were also very few cities with such wide city walls that could accommodate such a big guy.
But for Sui Xiong, these were not problems.
Even though it was unnecessary.
The walls of the new Rye Fortress were ridiculously high. The lower outer wall was at least 25 or 26 stories high, and the inner wall was about 10 meters higher than the outer wall. Not to mention the other things, just this towering wall alone was enough to make any besiegers feel hopeless.
There were all kinds of siege machines in this world, but which one could face such a high wall? It was difficult for a wooden ladder to reach this height. If a ladder was high enough, it would naturally be quite heavy. When it reached a certain height, the ladder would not be able to bear its own weight. It was really not easy to find wood that was strong enough.
As for catapults or anything else, they wouldn't be able to exert much power at such a height. If there weren't any obstacles, it wouldn't be difficult to build a giant catapult to throw stones to such a height. However, there were also catapults and ballistae on the city walls. If they were to shoot at each other, the people on the ground would die no matter how you looked at it. Moreover, they would die miserably, miserably, and horribly!
After Sui Xiong repaired this crazy super city wall, he once tested the catapult on the city wall and found that the target on the ground was too small. If he limited his vision to the level of an ordinary person, he could only see a small black dot …
Not only was the city wall extremely tall, but it was also extremely sturdy. The walls were made of special stones selected from the Rock Plane by Sui Xiong, and after he strengthened them, they were ridiculously hard. Not to mention smashing stones, even if a refined heavy tomahawk fiercely chopped on it, it would only create a few sparks and leave a white mark that would disappear with a gentle wipe of the hand.
In order to prevent the attackers from using spells like the earthquake spell to destroy the city wall, Sui Xiong also strengthened the foundation. The range of his strengthening was extremely wide. Not to mention the earthquake spell of an ordinary high-grade mage, even if a legendary strongman used the "legendary spell" to legendary the earthquake spell, he wouldn't be able to shake this terrifying city wall and foundation.
"I think this fortress is sturdy enough." Morani, who came to visit the fortress out of curiosity, looked carefully and sighed. "As long as there are no problems inside the fortress, I can't imagine what mortal army can break it."
"Really?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Of course! This city wall is crazy! If I had led troops to war and saw such a city wall, I would probably have directly sighed and retreated. "Morani smiled and shook his head." It's impossible to break it. "
Sui Xiong's eyes lit up. He waved his tentacles and wrote the words "Wall of Sighs" on the city wall.
"To break this wall, we need to gather twelve golden men of various shapes, and then burn everyone's will to turn into a ray of sunlight to drill a hole in it …"
He was talking incessantly when Morani coughed twice and raised his hand to point to the sky.
Sui Xiong looked up. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the sun was shining brightly.
"Damn! Can't we have fun like this … "
After being hit by the bright sunlight, Sui Xiong didn't spend time on the city wall that was destined to be unable to perform "Twelve Golden Men Breaking Through the Wall of Sighs". Instead, he pondered the problem of air defense.
This world had air forces, and the scale was not small. In the decisive battlefield of the "Battle of the Sun's Death Day," both the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom had gathered more than a thousand air forces. Especially the Eagle Kingdom, when it was at its peak, it was said that it had 3,000 air cavalry under its command. Although there were not many Griffin Knights and Giant Eagle Knights, and most of them were Griffin Sentinels and Giant Eagle Sentinels, which were not suitable for military operations, they were still air forces.
To deal with air forces, the most reliable way was naturally to send out air forces, but how many air forces could be stationed in a mere fortress? So Sui Xiong decided to put more effort into air defense.
However, there was a problem — just as the walls of the New Rye Fortress were high enough to make the attackers feel hopeless, the air forces could also fly high enough to make the people on the ground feel hopeless.
In the face of enemies flying at least four or five hundred meters in the air, the ground forces really couldn't think of anything and could only take a one-sided beating.
Not to mention in this world, even on Earth, unless heavy weapons such as anti-aircraft guns were used, ordinary firearms were completely useless against enemies at such a high altitude.
Of course, if a godly archer was allowed to use a high-level enchanted bow, it was not impossible to shoot at such a high altitude. But such bows were rare, and the number of godly archers who could use them was also rare. Compared with air forces, the number of godly archers was not on the same level at all.
So Sui Xiong thought about it and felt that he should still put effort into pure defensive power.
Half a month later, a huge slanted roof covered the entire fortress.
The air force's attack method was nothing more than throwing stones from the sky. This roof was attached with a special magic, not to mention stones, even rain and snow couldn't stick to the roof. No matter how many stones the enemy threw, they would only roll along the roof and out of the fortress.
As for "breaking the roof" … Sui Xiong had used magic to "integrate" the whole fortress, so no matter what kind of attack it was, the force would be evenly distributed. Sui Xiong really didn't believe that anyone could break the roof with stones.
Want to break it? Sure, let's talk about it after we carry a mountain!
If the enemy was really strong enough to move mountains and drain seas, then any fortress would be useless, and there would be no need to think about "defense."
After completing these two main facilities, the first stage of Sui Xiong's fortress renovation work was finally over. What was left was the detailed interior decoration.
Looking at the empty fortress that only had an empty frame, Sui Xiong couldn't help but rub his tentacles and smile expectantly.
"This time, I must create a scenic spot that people will never forget after visiting once!"
