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

After recruitment,

Han Yilin turned his gaze to the map.

【Wildered Farmland】Lv.1

[Type]: Grain Resource Area

[Defenders]: 3 Wild Boars

[Daily output after occupation]: Food ×5

[Occupied Influence Value]: +5

...

【Deadwood Forest】Lv.1

[Type]: Timber Resource Area

[Defenders]: 2 Wild Wolves

[Daily output after occupation]: Wood x5

[Occupied Influence Value]: +5

...

【Rock Slope】Lv.1

[Type]: Stone Resource Area

[Defenders]: Wild Dogs x4

[Daily output after occupation]: Stone x5

[Occupied Influence Value]: +5

...

Looking at the scattered level 1 resource sites around them,

Han Yilin looked disgusted.

Only 5 units of resources produced per day? Is that enough to feed beggars?

of course,

He also knew that,

These so-called level 1 resource areas are just for beginners to transition through the game; you can tell from the fact that the defending troops are all wild beasts.

Those refugees,

Although they don't have much fighting power

But with enough people, they could easily drive these wild beasts away.

in other words,

If we follow the normal land reclamation process...

It's definitely a gradual process, starting with these level 1 resource areas to stabilize resource production, then building barracks and capturing higher-level resource areas.

But the problem is...

Han Yilin doesn't really want to start the game normally right now.

Looking at Cheng Murou beside him, he felt that starting from level 1 land seemed a bit of a waste.

"It feels like they're bullying the stray dogs."

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin's gaze searched again.

Right at my doorstep

A level 2 resource site has been discovered, and even the color of its name has changed from white to green.

[Abandoned Forest] Lv.2

[Type]: Timber Resource Area

[Defenders]: 8 bandits

[Daily output after occupation]: Wood x30

[Occupied Influence Value]: +30

Looking at the column for the garrison,

"So, they've gone from wild beasts to bandits?"

Although he felt confident, Han Yilin still asked, "Mu Rou, I'd like to start directly with a level 2 resource area and deal with a few bandits. Can you handle that?"

Cheng Murou nodded gently: "If it's just eight ordinary bandits, it shouldn't be difficult."

Han Yilin continued, "How many people are needed?"

"No need."

Cheng Murou shook her head: "Murou going alone is enough."

Are you alone?

Are you sure?!

Han Yilin was stunned for a moment.

He knew Cheng Murou was highly skilled in martial arts, but as the old saying goes, even the strongest fists can't beat four hands, let alone eight bandits, not eight wild dogs.

Cheng Murou looked serious and said softly, "Don't worry, sir."

"If they were ordinary bandits, Mu Rou could handle them on her own."

"On the contrary, those refugees are untrained, and if they go with us, they are likely to be injured or killed if they encounter bandits."

"At that time, Mu Rou will have to fight the enemy and protect them at the same time, which will only cause trouble."

Forehead.....

That's true.

Han Yilin also knew that

Those refugees weren't regular soldiers after all; if they went along, they might even become a hindrance.

"Okay then."

"But be very careful, if things look bad, get out of there immediately."

Listening to Han Yilin's concerned instructions,

Cheng Murou blushed slightly: "Don't worry, my lord, Murou understands."

【Ding! 】

Cheng Murou's loyalty +5

An unexpected notification.

Han Yilin was slightly taken aback.

what's going on?

I didn't do anything. How could a casual word of concern increase loyalty?

Your loyalty is really worthless.

Loyalty was no longer considered.

Open the main interface.

Select the target to attack on the map.

[Should I send a general to conquer the Lv.2 resource site: Abandoned Forest?]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

After the prompt falls,

Cheng Murou bowed to Han Yilin, then left the county town alone, heading towards the abandoned forest.

I don't know why,

Looking at Cheng Murou's slender figure,

He walked alone towards the city gates.

Han Yilin suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if he were sending a frail girl to the battlefield.

But on second thought...

The opponent's combat strength is almost at its maximum...

Han Yilin could only keep comforting himself, telling himself not to overthink it.

Not long after,

The battle report appeared with the system notification.

Cheng Murou is currently capturing a Lv.2 resource site: Abandoned Forest.

[Encounter with garrison troops: 8 bandits]

Han Yilin's spirits lifted, and he immediately opened the battle report to prepare to observe the battle situation.

however,

The battle report had just been unfolded when

Before I could even look at them carefully, new notifications kept popping up.

Cheng Murou killed 8 bandits.

[Capture successful!]

You have successfully captured the Lv.2 resource site: Abandoned Forest.

[Influence Value +30]

Should personnel be dispatched to the forest farm?

Maximum number of people that can be dispatched: 10

Looking at the battle report that had already ended,

Han Yilin stood there, somewhat stunned, his mind completely blank.

This...that's it?

Holy crap!

Does the entire battle last 2 seconds from start to finish?

I just opened the battle report, and you're telling me it's already over?!

Han Yilin couldn't help but swear; he suddenly felt that his imagination was somewhat lacking.

after all,

He simply couldn't imagine it.

How did Cheng Murou, with her slender arms and legs and soft voice, manage to take down eight bandits in just two seconds?

"Is this the true value of gold-grade quality?"

"Why does it feel like we're being a bit conservative when attacking level 2 lands?"

As they were speaking,

Han Yilin also didn't forget to send someone over.

After clicking OK,

Ten refugees have already set off for the forest farm, and at the same time, the timber production in the resource section has changed from 0 to +30.

quickly,

Cheng Murou returned.

She was clean and tidy, with not even a speck of dust on her clothes.

If the system hadn't already popped up a notification, Han Yilin would have even suspected that she had just gone out for a walk.

"grown ups."

"The target has been captured."

Cheng Murou spoke softly, her nonchalant tone revealing nothing of the fact that she had just swiftly defeated eight bandits.

"Um... Mu Rou..."

Han Yilin hesitated for a moment, then stammered out his words.

"grown ups?"

"Are you confident about getting this level three land?"

Cheng Murou pondered for a moment, "If they are just ordinary bandits, it won't be difficult. Even if it's a level four or level five land, Murou is confident that she can take it down."

Are you sure?

"Soloing a level 5 land all by himself?"

Han Yilin quickly glanced at the map. The garrison in the nearby level 5 land was still composed of bandits, but their numbers were all over 500.

"Stop messing around, this could end up killing someone. If something happens to you, I'll cry my eyes out."

Cheng Murou, however, was not joking at all: "My lord, these mountain bandits and outlaws may seem numerous, but they are ultimately not the regular army of the imperial court."

"They had no strict formation or discipline. Once the leader was killed, the rest of the men would be filled with fear and scatter and flee."

"If it's a regular army, Mu Rou naturally wouldn't dare to be presumptuous, but if it's just bandits, Mu Rou can give it a try."

This confident answer,

This truly moved Han Yilin.

after all,

Resources of Tier 2 land

It can only produce 30 units per day, but level 5 land produces 300 units per day, which is ten times higher.

First day of clearing the land,

Land and occupy level 5 land.

Han Yilin couldn't even imagine how awesome this would be.

of course,

The garrison of over five hundred men was clearly not to be underestimated. Although tempted, Han Yilin preferred to play it safe rather than risk Cheng Murou's danger.

If Cheng Murou is sacrificed in the process of seizing a piece of land, it would be a huge loss.

"Forget about level 5 land."

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'm worried something might happen to you."

"How about we try level four land first?"

"If you encounter danger, retreat immediately without hesitation. It's just a resource site; there will be plenty of time to take it later. You absolutely cannot afford to get into trouble."

Cheng Murou lowered her eyes slightly and replied softly, "Murou understands."

A positive answer was received.

Han Yilin opened the expedition interface.

this time,

He chose a level four farmland.
