For the newly born Sand Ole, the two buildings that Dane valued most were the Star Ferry and the Mage Tower.
One increases the population and brings real vitality to this underground city; the other is a sign that he personally controls the city. After all, every time he came, he didn't want to divert from Aurui Nai, and then run for a week in the dark underground world to get to this city.
A week later, after receiving news from Dane, and thus transporting a large amount of materials to the underground world, the large-scale construction of Shadou Lai began.
First, a large number of troglodytes were recruited.
Dane directly pulled a large number of cavemen from the [Dark Idol] similar to the tree of life of the forest forces and entered the recruitment list.
These cavemen are a vassal race of the dark elves. They can only rely on the underground environment to live. Their individual combat strength is weak, their intelligence is low, and they are not adapted to the surface sunlight-they don't even have eyes!
But these ugly guys are the hardest laborers in the underground world. The drow provided them with food and protection, and they worked as drudgery to build drow cities, grow subterranean crops, and do other things.
This is an equivalent exchange. At least, this is the case for drow and cavemen, and others have nothing to criticize.
What's more, in Shaduolai, the fate of cavemen is much better than those compatriots in drow cities in the real Underdark.
In the cavemen of the underworld, that's worse than the worst slave. They procreate hard, work hard, and then usually struggle to get to the moment when life ends naturally, before being killed by their evil masters, maybe just because they are in a bad mood, or in a better mood.
Although, after believing in the Children of the Stars, some things in the drow race's nature are still indelible, and drow in the good camp still don't treat cavemen as human beings, but at least they won't be like Ximani. Followers of the Blood Goddess generally regard killing as pleasure and torture as enjoyment.
However, even for Dane, it is difficult to regard these ugly guys who look more like monsters than humanoids as 'human beings'.
Together with Millshap, staring at the completion of Star Ferry, Dane also welcomed the arrival of the second batch of residents of Chateau Ole.
Among this group of people, Dane discovered a strange phenomenon.
When the Star Ferry was being built, it was built directly according to the standards of the fourth-level buildings. The first batch of underground residents who arrived directly numbered hundreds.
Among these hundreds of underground residents, the most numerous are of course the drow elves. But besides that, Dane also unexpectedly saw the figures of two other races.
A Medusa and three Minotaurs.
These two are also creatures that only appear in the underground world, and most of them only exist in legends and myths on the surface, just like their classic images.
Medusa has a beautiful face and a voluptuous figure. However, from the waist down, they became snake-like. And their hair, as in the legend, is a poisonous snake with teeth and claws.
The gray or black-skinned Minotaur is just like its name. They have a very strong body, but there is a cow's head on it. Down the legs are cow's hoofs, and there are only three fingers on the hand. Rather than saying that they are people with a bull's head, it is better to say that they are more like a standing cow.
Medusa is an excellent archer and dark mage, while the Minotaur, among the troops in the dungeon, is a very powerful warrior.
Dane was a little confused at the beginning. According to the training methods of elves or humans, if you want to train Minotaur or Medusa, you must have a corresponding population. However, if you want to rely on Star Ferry to increase the population of these two races in the dungeon at a very low rate, and use this as a basis to train and train the army, you will know when you will be able to pull up An army of these two races.
However, later, when Dane took a closer look at the military buildings in the dungeon, he dispelled this doubt.
The most basic unit of the dungeon comes from cavemen. Armed troglodyte slaves are the lowest level of arms in the dungeon. There are a lot of them, and it doesn't hurt at all to die.
It's just that their combat power is also frighteningly low. Even equipped with log shields and spears, their strength is worrying. It is estimated that a small group of well-trained human soldiers is enough to defeat an entire squadron of caveman slave soldiers at a relatively low cost.
Moreover, the worst thing about caveman slave soldiers is that their low intelligence makes it difficult for them to be trained and to have better organization. They are slow to respond to orders on the battlefield, and they are prone to collapse when attacked or faced with adversity-in layman's terms, their army lacks discipline and morale is low. An army can easily collapse.
The more advanced arms are drow warriors and drow rangers.
Drow are even rarer in population than elves, yet they are more dangerous and more gifted in battle than their surface relatives. It seems that the configuration of drow warrior and drow ranger is very similar to the sword dancer and ranger of the surface elves, but in fact, the difference between the two is quite large.
Rangers are okay, drow rangers are better at melee combat, they are no better than elves in shooting skills, but in a scimitar duel, elf rangers can't catch up with drow rangers.
Drow warriors, on the other hand, not only have fighting skills comparable to sword dancers, they are also very insidious. Almost every drow warrior is equipped with a short crossbow quenched with poison. No one knew when these warriors with double knives would suddenly draw out the poison-enhancing short crossbow and shoot an arrow close to them during the battle.
And further up, there are Medusa and the Minotaur. The former is an excellent mage, and the latter is an excellent heavy infantry fighter.
Medusa's signature petrification ability will be a nightmare for all enemies. As for the Minotaur, they are not only superior in defense, they are also much stronger than ordinary heavy infantry when they carry a giant axe to chop people. At the very least, Dane believed that the elite white wolf guards he had been relying on most likely would not be able to withstand the Minotaur's axe.
And if you want to go up and continue to look at one level, then the highest-level unit building that Shadou Lai can build at the moment, the dark paddock, is the building for training the unit of cold-blooded cavalry.
Dane didn't have any cold-blooded cavalry under his command yet, but he could see this kind of cavalry riding a velociraptor, wearing black armor, purple mask and purple cloak from the preview picture of the unit building in the system.
They belong to the ranks of heavy cavalry!
