The improved version is indeed very powerful.

The ordinary Kong Ming lantern has an illumination diameter of 10 m, which means it can illuminate an area of 78 5 square m.

However, the high-intensity version has a diameter of 20 m, illuminating an area of 314 m, four times larger.

Beyond this illuminated area, there is still light, but it decreases in brightness the further out you go.

As the Kongming lantern rises higher, its brightness also gradually diminishes.

However, the light intensity of the improved version has increased three-fold.

This results in the highintensity Kongming lantern being extremely bright.

So much so that even the outer light is brighter than the center of the ordinary lantern.

Even at high altitudes, it retains a high level of brightness.

Additionally, the burning time of the improved version is longer, reaching 20 minutes, almost rivaling that of a torch.

The default burning time for a torch is only 30 minutes.

Sugene opened the technology tree, which revealed some new technologies, but none that could directly enhance combat power.

Ultimately, he chose an industrial technology.

Technology name advanced carpenter tools.

Technology description industrial technology upgrades the carpenters working tools allowing carpenters to use more specialized tools for production.

Technology attributes production efficiency in the carpenters's workshop increases by 20 and the quality of production improves by 10.

Just as he clicked to complete, a commotion erupted nearby.

Like using a rapid construction order, a burst of white light appeared in the carpenters's workshop.

The white light quickly enveloped all the tools and equipment, including those in the hands of the carpenters.

The carpenters panicked and let go of their tools as the white light grew brighter.

In a moment, all the tools and equipment were renewed, looking significantly more advanced.

Congratulations.

The equipment and tools in the carpenters's workshop have been upgraded.

Zulfast.

Finally, there was a satisfying technology.

Sugene felt a bit unaccustomed to this.

This time, it felt a bit like a game.

The craftsmen were still in shock.

The brand new tools and equipment lay beside them.

The carpenters cautiously picked them up, almost reluctant to use them.

Now, a large number of wooden throwing spears, arrows, Kongming lanterns, etc.

are needed, all of which require carpentry work.

Being able to increase production efficiency by 20 is quite good.

Suene ignored them and entered crafting mode again, continuing to make highintensity Kongming lanterns.

The sky gradually darkened.

The walls were finally completed.

Zhu Ting directed the villagers to orderly retreat behind the walls.

With soldiers covering their backs, the walls of Wuang Village had wooden doors on all sides.

The door frames have been modified into small defensive towers capable of accommodating three people.

The doors were reinforced with iron sheets.

In terms of strength, the doors were even sturdier than the walls.

The walls were built with single layer round logs sharpened on top to prevent enemies from climbing over.

The trees closest to the walls were not cut down, but transformed into defensive towers.

Soldiers or villagers could attack from above, looking down on the enemies outside the walls.

Now, Wuang vill's population has exploded.

The combined population of both villages plus the slaves has exceeded 800 people.

Many people have no houses to live in.

But since it is a special time, especially at night, more people are needed for defense.

Thus, they're using a hot bunking system.

One person wakes up and another goes to sleep, keeping the beds warm at all times.

This applies not just to the villagers, Su Jin, Zhu Ting, and the female officers are the same.

Since they're the main fighting force of Wuang village, they must be ready to command and fight at all times.

Therefore, they all sleep on efficient sleep beds.

On average, each person can fully wake up after 23 hours of sleep.

Every time Sue Gene gets into bed, he finds the lingering warmth of the female officers.

Different scents sometimes remain.

Jasmine, Osmanthis, or orchid.

Sue Gene can easily tell who slept there last.

Thus, he has to wash off his own sweat before sleeping because now the bed is considered a public facility and needs to be kept clean.

The sky has completely darkened.

Entering a true night.

Lord Ju, look quickly.

Yaoqing pointed at the bone puppets below the tower.

The eye sockets of the bone puppets are two dark voids with only small green dots like mung beans.

However, now the green dots have transformed into two walnutsized green ghostly flames.

The movement speed of the bone puppets has increased.

Originally they moved at a normal walking pace, but now they seem to be speeding up.

During the day when they attacked the walls, their attack speed was not fast, making a clattering sound.

But now it has changed to a rapid clack clack clack sound clearly indicating an increase in frequency.

The sound of their claws scraping against the walls is also louder filling the area with this eerie noise.

Chapter 141.

Taking the initiative, Zhu Ting looked worriedly outside.

This won't do.

We can't hold out until tomorrow.

They will break through the walls by midnight.

I'll go find my senior brother.

You all keep attacking.

Yes.

The female soldiers answered.

Wigguang village was already surrounded by bone puppets.

Outside the walls, there were skeletons everywhere, stark white.

These bone puppets trampled on the ground, littered with shattered bones, continually clawing and biting at the wooden walls.

The defense towers inside were packed with soldiers, all using ranged weapons to attack continuously.

The distance from the soldiers to the bone puppets was only 34 m very close.

Thus, the hit rate was naturally very high.

However, the bone puppets had been enhanced during the night, increasing their defense.

Many bone puppets had arrows sticking out of them, spears embedded in their ribs.

Yet, they still did not fall.

Meanwhile, Wuang village esto stock of range weapons was depleting rapidly, having already consumed nearly 1/5.

In addition to the soldiers, the villagers were also busy.

They were modifying the low-quality defense towers, aiming to turn them into real defensive structures.

The craftsmen had not rested and were still busy at their posts.

To the north of the village, a porter rushed out of the carpenter's shop, holding a bundle of wooden throwing spears, heading towards the defense tower by the wall.

The ranged weapons produced now were no longer stored, but were directly handed to the female soldiers on the tower.

To the east, another porter was tossing medicine to the female soldiers on the tower.

Three, right? The soldier asked.

Yes, each of you gets one.

I still need to deliver medicine to others nearby.

Thank you, uncle.

Ah, just call me big brother.
