County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

[Timber]: 2318 (Daily +600)

[Stone Material]: 3472 (Daily +600)

Iron Ore: 5167 (+600 daily)

[Food]: 4356 (Daily +1105)

[Resource Locations]: 1 Level 4 Land, 13 Level 5 Lands

Looking at the current resource production,

The grain production has finally escaped the embarrassing state of negative growth, and after today's recruitment of refugees, the population of Zhatian County has now reached 517 people.

Distance to upgrade the City Lord's Mansion

The project is already halfway complete.

In mind,

Han Yilin considered it for a moment,

Based on current resource production, there is enough to expand the army again.

The point is,

You can double the number of soldiers you recruit by watching GG.

Thus,

They could easily assemble a large army and then find a way to gather supplies.

"Recruiting, 152 people needed!"

[Should we consume 3040 grains, 15200 copper coins, and recruit 152 militia?]

"Yes."

[Will watching GG double the recruitment numbers this time?]

"Can't we just agree to this by default? Asking every time is a bit annoying."

"1"

Faced with a series of prompts,

Han Yilin seemed a little impatient.

After all parties agree,

The GG screen then appeared.

this time,

The content in GG appears to be much more normal, without the screen full of golden special effects or the pretentious, crooked-mouthed dragon king.

It was a little girl.

Holding cookies in his hand,

then,

The little girl gently twisted the cookie open.

"Twist it up—"

The milky white filling was revealed.

The girl stuck out her tongue and licked it carefully.

"Give it a lick—"

Subsequently,

She then put the remaining half of the cookie into a glass of milk.

"Take a soak—"

Don't say

That's it, GG.

When Han Yilin was a child, after watching the movie, he actually bought some milk and tried making it like the one in the movie.

It's really delicious.

"What should I do if I feel like eating this...?"

She pursed her lips.

quickly,

After the 30-second "GG" timer ends, the corresponding message will appear.

[Viewing successful.]

[The number of militia recruits has been doubled this time; you have received 304 militia members.]

The prompt tone falls,

Inside the barracks,

People began to emerge gradually; these included the militia members recruited initially.

The number of troops in Zhatian County has exceeded five hundred.

only,

The current equipment is indeed very rudimentary.

Only the first hundred or so people had weapons; everyone behind them was unarmed.

Simultaneously,

The population of Zhatian County

The number of people also increased from 517 to 821, and grain production turned negative again.

but,

There are still some reserves.

In the short term, it's manageable.

"What else is there to say? Let's find a place to plunder and see if there are any other areas around that we can explore."

Recruiting so many troops

If we don't scrape up all the surrounding land, it would be a waste of our advanced development.

and,

This expedition,

Han Yilin even brought all five hundred people with him.

The main point is to create a grand and impressive spectacle.

Let's go!

Han Yilin didn't suggest that they take advantage of their superior numbers to directly raid resource areas, since a large portion of these 500 people didn't have weapons yet.

His goal was very clear.

It's all about acquiring weapons, equipment, and resources, specifically targeting explorable areas and taking everything they can.

Their main selling point is that when locusts swarm across the land, they leave no stone unturned, even rats would weep at the sight of them.

This is not,

After leaving the county town,

Han Yilin then found 160 people, divided them into eight teams of 20, and had them search in eight directions for areas that could be explored.

In no time,

these people,

It had already illuminated an area within a 10-mile radius of Zhatian County.

On the map,

The dark fog of war continued to dissipate.

The area the team members traversed

All the surrounding resource sites and explorable areas were marked on the map. In just over an hour, Han Yilin discovered several places suitable for looting.

Abandoned Armory

[Status]: Explorable

[Danger Level]: Ordinary (Blue)

[Potential Rewards]: Weapons, Armor, Iron Ore

...

Abandoned Supply Depot

[Status]: Explorable

[Danger Level]: Ordinary (Blue)

[Potential Harvests]: Grain, Timber, Copper Coins

...

【Wildwood Forest】

[Status]: Explorable

[Danger Level]: Ordinary (Blue)

[Potential Harvests]: Grain, Timber, Copper Coins

......

Three locations,

All are on Normal difficulty.

of course,

This doesn't mean that no other challenging areas were found; it's just that Han Yilin didn't find any that appealed to him.

Especially the difficulty of getting started,

There is no threat whatsoever.

Soldiers can't gain experience, and the resources they receive are pitifully small.

In contrast,

As Han Yilin looked at these three explorable areas of average difficulty, his smile gradually brightened.

"Brothers, let's all get our spirits up today! Move what you can, and dismantle what you can't take with you. Even rats will cry when they go in, and earthworms will have to walk out standing up!"

Let's go!

Gave an order,

Five hundred people marched in a grand procession toward the nearest destination.

Defenders,

There were only sixty-odd bandits.

Facing an army of five hundred, there was almost no suspense. Except for one person who was wounded by an arrow, the others were unharmed.

They directly overwhelmed the opponent with their sheer number of people.

of course,

This is mainly because,

Bandits are inherently bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.

When facing the weak,

That was absolutely terrifying.

But when faced with an opponent stronger than themselves, they instantly transform into little lambs, each one more docile than the last.

The last two places,

It's a similar situation.

and,

On the road,

Han Yilin also took the opportunity to clean up several easy (green) difficulty explorable areas.

In just one afternoon,

Five hundred men, each armed with a weapon.

and,

The first batch of 200 recruits have all reached level 10. They only need to upgrade their barracks to be eligible for a job change.

As for the three hundred people recruited later, their average level was between level 8 and 9.

Other than that,

Han Yilin also gained a large amount of resources.

It includes provisions, iron ore, stone, wood, copper coins, and various blueprints that can be obtained from treasure chests.

just,

Just as Han Yilin was preparing to lead his men back to the city,

An exploration team,

News has arrived.

"grown ups!"

"A military camp has been discovered over there!"

Han Yilin raised an eyebrow.

"Military camp?"

"Let's go take a look."

soon.

Led by that team, Han Yilin arrived at the back of a low hillside.

This place is about 15 miles away from the county seat.

now,

Not far in front of Han Yilin

It turned out to be a fairly large camp.

The outskirts of the camp,

A ring of sharpened wooden fences stood upright.

There are also arrow towers at the four corners.

Armored soldiers could be seen patrolling back and forth.

In the center of the camp,

A black and red flag is fluttering in the wind.

Just by looking at them from afar, you can tell that the people inside are definitely not comparable to mountain bandits or brigands.

Han Yilin opened the map.

The location of the camp was quickly confirmed.

[Pingtian Army Outpost Battalion]

[Status]: Explorable

[Danger Level]: Difficult (Purple)

[Potential Gains]: Food, weapons, armor, special items...
