Zhao Fu planned to save the remaining Stone Body Rocks for later use—specifically, for the four national barriers Great Qin had planned. Those places lay along the borders of the nation, where battles would inevitably be fierce, so they required powerful defenses.
As Great Qin's core city, Great Qin City was naturally of immense importance. But if the enemy had already fought their way to Great Qin City, that meant Great Qin was likely on the verge of defeat.
If the core of a faction was under attack, then even if that faction did not perish, it would be crippled. Thus, it was not enough for the core city alone to be strong; the other cities also had to be strong, forming layer upon layer of defenses.
In other words, they could not focus solely on developing one city. The other cities had to be developed well alongside it, fitting the core city with suit after suit of armor.
Only that kind of strength was true strength. Otherwise, no matter how powerful your core city was, if all the other cities had been breached, what right did you have to call yourself a "nation"?
What Zhao Fu wanted was not merely to be a lord with a few cities. What he wanted was a nation, with countless cities and subjects.
The Stone Body Rocks were also easy to use. Once placed upon a city wall, a prompt would appear asking whether to merge them into the wall. Upon choosing yes, the stones would automatically meld into it, slowly sinking as though giant boulders falling into a mire.
Once the stones had fused in, Zhao Fu received another prompt!
[Stone Man Wall]: This attribute greatly enhances the city wall's defenses and grants immunity against conventional spells.
