Lei Zihao, who has a stable income and has just completed the plunder of Argos City, has upgraded and constructed all the level 3 buildings with the support of a huge number of Pylos slave laborers!

They all had the luxury of turning on the acceleration mode!
Who told Lei Zihao to have tens of thousands of Pylos young and strong slaves, which greatly reduced the construction cost?

However, the city of Argos also inherited the characteristics of the poverty of the Pylos people. After Lei Zihao waved his hand, he suddenly discovered that the converted gold coin resources had once again dropped to double digits...

Therefore, Lei Zihao was dumbfounded. He looked at the Temple of Love and the Temple of Wealth that were not built in the end, and the four-digit construction funds displayed on the back, and felt that he should learn to calm down next time...

No way, the Temple of Love and the Temple of Wealth, two very low-named buildings, have been subconsciously ignored by Lei Zihao all the time, because these two buildings have no benefit to the military!
Fortunately, Lei Zihao has now saved military expenses, and has also received extra income from a brothel street. Even if there are only double-digit gold coins left in his inventory, it is enough to maintain his luxurious life!
First of all, in the backyard of the city hall, an open-air bath that is as big as the entire bath was built. Oh, yes, it should be said that a swimming pool is more correct...

Among them, Lei Zihao divided the hot water pool and the cold water pool according to the simple design of the sauna in later generations. The cold water pool is easy to handle, and the Jinlong River is right next to it, so it can be drained. It is just a hot pool, which requires a lot of manpower. The physical resources are going to burn slowly!

Before there was no brothel street, Lei Zihao would never have dared to use such a costly bath. With the level of technology of this era, if you want to fill a pool of water, you have to keep adding hot water to keep the temperature constant, isn't it? An easy job!

At the very least, Lei Zihao would hire a team of servants to take care of the private bath...

As for the money-saving method of using Pylos slaves, Lei Zihao did not dare to try it. Those Pylos slaves were oppressed by Lei Zihao’s anger points were full. If such people were his servants, Lei Zihao would not be able to sleep peacefully !

However, apart from being a bit extravagant in the bathing, Lei Zihao is still the same as before. He still eats delicious food prepared with pepper spices and honey every day, and then handles his daily business. Piston movement, falling asleep with Li Qingmei's pillow in my arms when I'm not in the mood...

Li Qingmei is very satisfied with the addition of a private swimming pool and private hot pool in her backyard. These days, she has less resentment towards Lei Zihao's livestock behavior...

Even Lei Zihao, in broad daylight, messing around with himself in the swimming pool and hot pool, rarely complained, just groaning...

Of course, these are all things to say later, as time went by, Lei Zihao spent a lot of money on building upgrades and construction at the same time, and Longhan City ushered in a period of great construction in full swing!
In the city of Megara, the Siris Renaissance Army, which has expanded to 5000 people, has also completed recruit training. Under the leadership of a large number of veterans who have experienced bloody battles in sieges, it has basic combat effectiveness!
With tens of thousands of slaves, Lei Zihao has already pushed the mining scale of that iron mine to the limit. Naturally, the Siris Revival Army has also ushered in the real Iron Age, and they can seize the people from Pylos without hesitation. Throw away the bronze vessel!
Lei Zihao frugally collected these useless bronze wares, and remelted them into copper blocks with a lot of impurities. When the mint was built, these copper blocks with a lot of impurities were the raw materials for the black-hearted Lei Zihao's copper coins!

His first goal is to let his 'bust' fill the markets of Megara City and Longhan City first!
During this period of return, Lei Zihao is not only engaged in construction and military expansion, the scale has become a thousand-man Spartan soldiers and elite Wei military soldiers, as well as the Scarlet Crusade, led by Finn, to the north. Sweep out the strongholds of the large and small vassal races left after the orc legion withdrew!

This time, Lei Zihao no longer needed any captives, whether it was a kobold or a jackal, they all became the souls of Fein's sword, providing Lei Zihao with a little killing experience!
A full 100 million killing experience is required to upgrade to the level of a great knight. Lei Zihao doesn't have a strong desire to kill for the time being...

The reason why no captives are kept is because it is too difficult to communicate with those foreign languages. Being a slave requires the participation of a dog translator, which is very cumbersome and far less worry-free than the Pylos slave who can speak human language!

Since having tens of thousands of Pylos slaves, Lei Zihao has turned all the kobolds into killing experience!
In Lei Zihao’s eyes, human beings of the same race still have value as slaves, while humanoid creatures of other races are completely useless. Fortunately, the total war system is not shy, even if it is a simple killing, you can also gain killing experience Such useful stuff!

Lei Zihao's campaign against the remnants of the half-orc vassal groups was mainly to expand the scope of Longhan City. With the rise of a large number of wooden buildings, the construction of a brothel street and the massive expansion of residential areas, the area of ​​Thebes jungle is shrinking every day. Downsizing!
That's tens of thousands of people cutting down all day long!
Therefore, the farmland that had been cultivated once became a new residential area, and the original Thebes jungle felling area became a new farmland and a brothel street...

Later, Lei Zihao felt that the soldiers of the Siris Revival Army were too far away from the brothel street, so he simply built a brothel street chain operation point on the side of Megara City...

Of course, this chain operation point only has middle and low-level 'relaxation camps', and high-level 'relaxation camps' are only here near Longhan City!
In the midst of Lei Zihao's substantial and stable expansion, more than [-] crusaders landed and drove towards Argos!
Lei Zihao's unexpected enemy is about to appear under his nose. Soon, Lei Zihao will pay the price for his evil deeds!
