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

Han Yilin glanced at the territory panel.

After today's recruitment

right now,

The population has reached 2496.

As for the money, after the transaction, there are still less than 13 copper coins left.

Three days later,

The final payment still needs to be made.

"Based on this calculation, there's a shortfall of nearly 400,000. It'll be quite difficult to meet that demand within three days."

Han Yilin felt a lot of pressure.

"Although four shops have already opened in the county, this is just a drop in the bucket, and we still have to go and clear out the market."

Open the map,

Zoom in and out continuously, your gaze sweeping across the surrounding area...

However,

Within a radius of ten miles,

Han Yilin has already explored all the explorable areas. If he wants to earn money through exploration, he can only continue to expand outwards.

"It would be great if we could set up a scout team now; that would save us a lot of trouble."

That being said,

Due to the conditions,

Now they still have to rely on their own two legs. Just like before, Han Yilin divided into eight teams, each heading in one of the eight directions to open up vision.

Simultaneously,

Cheng Murou was then assigned to continue attacking resource-rich areas.

only,

Like the explorable areas, resource areas also face the same problem: all the surrounding level 5 areas have already been explored.

I watched it over and over again several times.

Han Yilin only found four level 5 lands; the rest were mostly level 1-4 resource lands.

Higher level

It's not that it doesn't exist.

But Han Yilin felt that there was no need to force a fight at this stage, even if it resulted in heavy losses.

"The further you develop, the more things you face."

"Let's take these four level 5 lands first."

I told Cheng Murou,

Subsequently,

On the expedition screen,

Han Yilin clicked "OK".

As for himself, he waited until noon, when the team that had been scouting the area finally discovered an explorable zone, before leading his troops out to begin clearing it.

...

[Gained 210 units of food]

[Gain 107 Wood]

[Received 1789 copper coins]

...

[Viewing successful.]

[Treasure chest being opened...]

You have received 3000 units of food.

You have obtained 2000 stones.

You have received 40000 copper coins.

You have received...

The next two days,

Han Yilin did nothing but lead his troops to sweep through the explorable areas nearby every day.

In his opinion,

In the current situation,

The fastest way to make money is naturally through sweeping. In addition to obtaining a large amount of basic resources, you can also open treasure chests, and the weapons you obtain can be sold directly.

Overall,

Such areas are not few.

only,

Most of them are beginner (white) or easy (green) difficulty levels, and you get fewer rewards in these areas.

As for the normal (blue) difficulty,

I did encounter a few,

For Zhatian County at present, it can be taken almost without any losses.

Don't say anything else,

These five hundred soldiers, all clad in armor and wielding blue-quality Rift Wind Miao Blades, completely overwhelmed these mountain bandits in terms of both military prowess and weaponry.

Three days later.

The game for all has begun, day fourteen, morning.

Han Yilin led the troops,

We have advanced to a location 20 miles north of Zhatian County. Yesterday evening, the team that was scouting the area discovered an explorable area of ​​normal (blue) difficulty.

Then,

Early the next morning,

Han Yilin led his troops out and rushed to their destination at noon.

The battle ended quickly.

Clean and neat

It was a complete rout from start to finish.

Han Yilin maintained a force of 500 men in Zhatian County. The prisoners of war from the Pingtian Army also surrendered one after another during their subsequent imprisonment.

right now,

They were all incorporated into the team.

Treasure chest opened,

With GG's blessing, the rewards are doubled, including some basic resources and an additional blueprint.

just,

The contents of the drawings

This left Han Yilin speechless.

Whose blueprints even include furniture designs?

A five-panel dressing table with cloud-patterned design?

This is just a dressing table, why does it have such a unique name?

"This game is garbage. The drop rate is getting lower and lower; it's even worse than Delta Force!"

He cursed.

After Han Yilin finished packing, he prepared to head home.

At this time,

A soldier tasked with scouting the way,

He ran back quickly.

"grown ups!"

"A military camp has been spotted not far ahead!"

Military camp?

Upon hearing these two words,

Han Yilin stopped abruptly.

This location,

Twenty miles from Zhatian County, a military camp suddenly appeared in the middle of nowhere?

"Where?"

"It's not far, less than a mile ahead. There are barricades and walls outside the camp, and we saw many patrolling soldiers around. Judging from their flags, they are from the Pingtian Army."

"Is it the Pingtian Army again?"

Upon hearing this banner,

Han Yilin immediately became interested: "Lead the way."

A moment later,

Arriving at a hillside,

Looking down from a high position

The outline of the camp came into clear view.

as predicted,

Just like the Pingtian Army outpost camp I encountered before, the number of troops, the difficulty, and even the stats were exactly the same.

[Pingtian Army Outpost Battalion]

[Status]: Explorable

[Danger Level]: Difficult (Purple)

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

Having had previous experiences,

Han Yilin had a vague idea in his mind.

Here,

Since there is also an outpost,

Does that mean there's another player's faction nearby?

If we take over this camp, it's like opening up a trade route for someone else.

even though,

This implies that you're doing someone else's work for their benefit.

but,

The loot is real, whether it's their weapons and equipment or the rewards from opening treasure chests; it's definitely worth the try.

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin did not hesitate for long.

beat!

We're already short of money.

With such a great opportunity right in front of us, there's no reason to let it go to someone else.

Make a decision

Han Yilin immediately sent someone back to inform Cheng Murou to come over.

I waited for two hours in total.

Cheng Murou rushed over.

When she arrived in front of Han Yilin, her breathing became noticeably rapid, a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

A few strands of hair were damp with sweat.

Stick it to the side of your face.

Her original gentle and delicate appearance,

At this moment, there was a sense of disarray, as if from a long journey.

Obviously,

Along the way

She was rushing on her way.

"grown ups."

Cheng Murou breathed a soft sigh of relief: "Murou is here."

Looking at her like this,

For a time,

Han Yilin was a little embarrassed to say, "Thank you for your trouble, I called you all the way here."

Cheng Murou shook her head: "Since the master has given the order, Murou will come immediately."

finished,

She looked ahead.

Obviously,

She also noticed the Pingtian Army's camp.

"Does Your Excellency intend to attack this outpost?"

"That's right."

Han Yilin skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "It's still the Pingtian Army's outpost, just like last time. Why don't you take a rest first?"

"Need not."

Cheng Murou shook her head: "It's not very tiring, and the number of enemies is not large. Moreover, the combat strength of our army is not what it used to be, so we can still take them down easily."

"That's true."

Han Yilin nodded in agreement.

Unlike last time,

Although the force is still 500 men, they are now all wearing armor, which is a completely different concept in the context of the battlefield of cold weapons.
