Chapter 311: Chapter 311: The Pros and Cons of Rune Arrow Tower and Death Energy Tower

"Next, it’s time to deal with those goblin issues."

Fang Jie thought back to the previous world, where he’d been chased around by goblins. Now, at last, the time for revenge had arrived. Of course, Fang Jie himself was unscathed, whereas the goblins had suffered numerous casualties.

But from Fang Jie’s perspective, it was the goblins who had wronged him.

Now that he had emerged victorious, it was time for retribution.

Most goblins from that world didn’t know where they’d fallen, but the fragments Fang Jie chose were teeming with them. Moreover, the knowledge in those goblins’ heads was mostly obsolete.

Still, Fang Jie planned to record it, as it might come in handy in the future.

After all, when it came to exploring physical knowledge, these goblins were truly impressive. In many respects, not even the people from Earth could match these dwarves.

Fang Jie directly communicated with the Undead and the White Fox Clan on the highland, initiating a thorough search and capture of the goblins.

This task couldn’t be finished in an instant, so Fang Jie set aside these matters for the moment, turning his attention to observing the newly added special units. The construction of the Armed Airships would take a while, but the Rune Arrow Towers could be produced much faster.

In just one hour, a Rune Arrow Tower materialized before Fang Jie.

Rune Arrow Tower (Silver): A territorial defense unit, equipped with the Death Cloud Rune.

Construction requirements: Refined Stone Bricks, 50 units; Yin Gathering Stone, 150 units; Spirit Points, 20,000 units.

Fang Jie looked at the Arrow Tower before him—just over four meters tall with a diameter of less than two meters—and stroked his chin. This thing was less than half the price of a Death Energy Tower, faster to build, but clearly, it was much smaller in size.

"According to the description, its main offensive capability lies in the Death Cloud Rune—that thing up there."

Fang Jie observed the top of the tower, where a grey-black, peculiar rune was constantly hovering up and down.

However, this rune was enveloped by a special force, making it difficult to see clearly. He feared what he saw might not be the truth. Rune data was kept in the Mage Tower, and he could review it anytime.

In fact, as long as he could learn, he would be able to create a Rune Arrow Tower using his own Strength.

However, such construction would need more materials, take up significant time and effort, and definitively, the effects would not be as good.

"Let’s test it first. Come on, you two, attack each other."

On Fang Jie’s command, a Death Energy Tower instantly began exchanging blows with the Arrow Tower. The attack from the Death Energy Tower seemed to teleport, appearing on the Rune Arrow Tower in an instant.

The Arrow Tower was different; the rune flashed, and a black arrow-like object shot out, striking the Death Energy Tower nearly at the same time, leaving a mark.

After a few rounds of attacks, Fang Jie instructed them to stop.

"Stop. Let me see, its Attack Power seems to be stronger than that of the Death Energy Tower. No, that’s just the surface Attack Power; in reality, the two are not the same."

After some thought, Fang Jie had the Skeletons prepare some Magic Beasts for experiments, then proceeded with the tests.

A series of experiments later, Fang Jie finally determined the actual capabilities of the Rune Arrow Tower.

"Overall, it has both advantages and disadvantages, but the cost-performance ratio is definitely higher."

The attack of the Rune Arrow Tower had a visible trajectory and was not affected by gravity due to its energy nature, but since it was visible, it was easier to dodge.

Still, the high attack speed meant it wasn’t easy to evade.

In essence, the Rune Arrow Tower was not effective for focused fire against highly ranked beings.

Moreover, the Rune Arrow Tower was lower, reducing its attack range. Most notably, unlike the Death Energy Tower which could ignore troop types and buildings within its Territory and strike the enemy through space, the Rune Arrow Tower couldn’t.

If there were one’s own people or buildings in the trajectory of its attack, the Rune Arrow Tower’s assault would be intercepted, causing damage to the ally’s troops and buildings.

In other words, the Rune Arrow Towers could only be built on the outside and could not be used to protect the interior of a Territory, much less be concealed.

However, in terms of offense, the Rune Arrow Tower indeed had its advantages. It had a faster attack rate than the Death Energy Tower, and its effects were more remarkable. Especially against non-living entities, the energy-attack of the Rune Arrow Tower was more effective.

Fang Jie had experimented and found that even against living beings, the effect of one attack from the Death Energy Tower was matched by two from the Rune Arrow Tower. And manufacturing two Rune Arrow Towers still cost less than one Death Energy Tower.

Their cost-performance ratio in the front lines of battle was much higher than that of Death Energy Towers.

"In the future, use the Death Energy Towers to protect critical strongholds, and use the Rune Arrow Towers outside. Some fortresses mainly used for combat should be armed with Rune Arrow Towers—the effect would definitely be better."

Fang Jie thought for a moment, then considered the Material Warehouses deployed by the Sea Alliance.

"Perhaps, the Material Warehouse strongholds could also place some Rune Arrow Towers as a deterrence. Even if just to clear out the lesser troops."

A small number of them posed no threat to Gold ranked beings, but after all, these were Silver ranked.

One Rune Arrow Tower facing a Silver ranked being would still have an advantage unless the opponent’s attack range far exceeded its own, but that wasn’t something warriors could match.

Only extremely valuable Mages or other special Professions would have such long-range attack capabilities.

But if one encountered such individuals, it wouldn’t be just one on one. To deal with them, a large force would be needed to form a significant scale.

"That’s decided then. Damn it, the Spirit Points I spent earlier have made them scarce again; I’ll have to tighten my belt these next few days," Fang Jie thought of the Spirit Points he’d used to enhance his Talent.

It felt great using them, without a hint of regret. But now, he faced a problem that wouldn’t ease up in a few days. Indeed, sometimes one couldn’t act recklessly.

"I wonder how long I’ll have to save to raise my Talent to level 5. Never mind, I don’t need it for now; my tenfold Fission, if used well, isn’t much different from level 5." Fang Jie consoled himself.

Next, the Armed Airships; those held even greater value.
