"Level 3 Magic Tower!" Thomas waved his fist excitedly.
He had just witnessed how powerful a level 2 Arrow Tower was.
If not for the fact that there was a Skeleton Knight with a defensive halo, that level 2 Arrow Tower could even wipe out all the invading Skeleton Soldiers.
If the level 2 Arrow Tower was already so powerful, then how powerful would a level 3 Magic Tower that was even more powerful than it be?
It was already difficult for Thomas to guess.
'It would be great if another group of dark creatures came over. I can just test the power of the Magic Tower,' Thomas thought to himself.
He had created a Great Lighthouse and a Magic Tower. Now, he still had five level-1 magic nuclei and two level-2 magic nuclei. They had an Acceleration Halo and a Defense Halo respectively.
What should he do next? If he used all of them to build the defense of the Arrow Tower, it would not be enough.
If he used them to build the Wall of Bones, these mana cores would not be enough to build a camp.
"Sigh, there are still too few mana cores. I just built two buildings and I'm already a little short."
Thomas could not help but sigh.
If other Architects heard Thomas's words, they would probably strangle him on the spot.
Most of the other Architects were now carefully lying in a corner, waiting for a single dark creature.
Ninety-nine percent of the Architects had not even obtained a single magic core.
Thomas had already built five buildings and wiped out a large group of Skeleton Soldiers. He had seven magic cores in his hands, but he was still not satisfied. It was simply too infuriating.
Just as Thomas was agonizing over where to get more magic nuclei, O'Neill ran back with his subordinates.
"Sir Thomas, we found a small group of Rat-Men on the west side of the village. There are 20 of them. Should we destroy them?"
"Huh? Rat-Men? Are you sure?" Thomas' eyes lit up when he heard that.
Rat-Men were typical dark creatures.
They were about 1.2 meters tall and looked like a large rat that had stood up. The biggest characteristic of these Rat-Men was their cowardice.
When they gathered together, they would appear unusually bold and would even attack humans. When a large number of their kind died, they would become as timid as rats and flee in all directions. They could be said to be one of the weakest dark creatures, even the Skeleton Soldiers were much stronger than them.
"That's right. They are indeed Rat-Men. They have big ears, gray skin, and a long tail. I won't be mistaken," O'Neill patted his chest and promised.
"Then, have you noticed the leader of those Rat-men? Is it a warrior or a priest?"
Rat-men lived in tribes.
Their leaders were either powerful warriors or priests who had mastered strange powers.
If it was a warrior, it might have mastered a few individual combat skills, so it was relatively easy to deal with it.
However, if it was a priest, it might be very troublesome because most of these priests had mastered some strange powers. If they were a little careless, there was still a possibility that they would roll over.
"I'm sorry, Sir Thomas. The leader of the Rat-Men is hiding in a room surrounded by Rat-Men. We were afraid of being discovered, so we didn't go close to investigate," O'Neill said apologetically.
"It's okay. There are only about 20 Rat-Men. No matter how powerful their leader is, it's only level 2. It's no big deal."
Thomas patted O'Neill's shoulder to express his relief.
Then, Thomas took out three level 1 magic cores and a level 2 magic core with an Acceleration Halo and placed them on the ground.
"Create a Long-Range Barracks!"
A magic array appeared, and a small wooden house that was similar to a Close Combat Barracks appeared on the ground.
Unlike the Close Combat Barracks, there was a long sword icon on the door of the Close Combat Barracks, and this small wooden house was drawn with bows and arrows.
In order to attack the Rat-Men's barracks, four close-range soldiers were still a little too few. If there were four long-range archers, it would be much safer.
Moreover, these archers could climb up the Arrow Tower to assist when they encountered foreign invaders. It was killing two birds with one stone.
[Level 1 Long-Range Barracks discovered. Super Enhancement System triggered. Increasing...]
[Level 1 Long-Range Barracks increased to Level 1 Elven Archer Barracks.]
[Level 1 Elven Archer Barracks: Each camp can produce four Elven Archers. Elven longbow, range 300 meters, equipped with elven leather armor and elven short sword, has a certain level of close combat ability. If the Elven Archers die in battle, the Elven Seed will be left on the spot. Bring the Elven Seed back to the training camp. You can use magic cores to resurrect it.]
[Remarks: Due to the addition of magic core with an Acceleration Halo during the construction of the camp, the leader of this elven camp has an Acceleration Halo, greatly increasing their attack speed and movement speed.]
"Amazing!" Thomas was stunned when he saw the introduction of the Elven Archer Barracks.
This Elven Archer was too amazing. They could shoot arrows and fight in close combat, and they could even resurrect. Except for the fact that their level was a little low, they had no flaws.
After the Super Enhancement, the originally small wooden house had become a lush maple tree.
There was a small door on the trunk of the tree. It looked like a huge tree house.
The door of the tree house was pushed open. Four Elves with long legs, wearing light green leather armor, and carrying longbows walked out.
The leading Elf had light golden long hair and pointy ears. It looked like she had walked out of a movie.
So much so that Thomas wanted to touch her ears to see if it was real.
"Elf Archer Arya reporting to you, Sir Thomas." The leading Elf came in front of Thomas and cupped her chest.
"Arya, right? Bring your men and go with me to clean up the Rat-Men. How about it? Are you confident?" Thomas asked.
Arya smiled and said, "Your will is my mission."
"Alright, O'Neill, lead the way. We will destroy those Rat-Men and take back the village." Thomas gave the order.
"Yes, Sir Thomas!"
O'Neill led three warriors to scout ahead. Arya led three Elven Archers to the left and right. Thomas carried the Holy Sword Longsword in the middle. The group of people walked towards the west side of the village.
After walking for about 700 meters, O'Neill's group stopped. "Sir Thomas, look, that's the Rat-Men camp I found."
Thomas looked in the direction O'Neill pointed and found that not far away. In a small courtyard, more than a dozen Rat-Men were circling around a bonfire, seemingly performing a strange dance.
On the bonfire, there was a barbecue grill. A Rat-Men kept rotating the grill, as if it was barbecuing something.
Thomas rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. He was surprised to find that what was barbecued on the bonfire was a human body.
