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

Despite the extreme pressure regarding food consumption.

but,

Looking at the roads in the county town,

It was built up little by little.

Han Yilin was in a fairly good mood.

especially,

As the buildings were connected, more and more shops moved into the market, and the number of customers at the Bafang Restaurant gradually increased. The mill, winery, vinegar workshop, carpentry workshop, charcoal kiln, and lime kiln also continued to operate...

Today's Zhatian County,

It's completely unlike what one would expect from the fourteenth day.

A population of over three thousand, seven hundred soldiers, fifteen special talents, plus various shops and workshops...

With this kind of development,

Han Yilin felt that the vast empire and the harem of three thousand concubines were just a matter of time.

It's only a matter of time.

of course,

This does not mean that,

Now we can let our guard down.

at least,

Based on what we know so far, this world is definitely not a simple ancient world.

say nothing else,

Just the so-called "games for everyone,"

Han Yilin didn't know exactly how many people had been brought to this world, but there were definitely many.

With billions of people worldwide,

If there were billions of counties, the territory of this continent would be unimaginable.

after all,

These county towns,

That doesn't represent the whole picture.

According to the information obtained from Li Zehao, these counties should all have been abandoned due to war.

But later,

It was assigned to the player.

Besides these counties, there are many other countries outside. As far as Han Yilin knows, there are the states of Qi and Liang.

He didn't know,

These two countries,

No matter how large its territory, how many troops it has, or where its capital is, it is definitely not comparable to my small county town.

Not only that,

There was also the Pingtian Army.

Which side does he represent? And why is there a Pingtian Army outpost near every player's county town?

Are there Pingtian Army troops or other armies at the entrances of players in other areas?

Too many problems

Lingering in my mind,

And there are still no clues or answers.

But there is one thing,

Han Yilin could confirm that this world was definitely not simple, and he could not let his guard down just because he was currently ahead in development.

suddenly,

Han Yilin recalled,

On the very first day after transmigrating, the system gave the player one such prompt.

Opportunities and dangers coexist. In the process of expansion, there will be many opportunities along with dangers. Whether you ultimately become a supreme emperor or suffer the fate of a fallen city and death depends on your choices.

"This statement makes it very clear: in the process of external expansion, conflicts with local forces are inevitable, whether it is the Pingtian Army or other countries."

"And... there are other players as well, which are also something to be absolutely careful about."

While pondering in his mind,

Outside the city,

The cavalrymen who had just gone out to scout were returning one after another.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves,

Han Yilin snapped out of his thoughts and looked toward the east gate, where a troop of cavalry was also returning.

and,

After the other side entered the city,

They rushed directly towards their location, in a great hurry.

"grown ups!"

The lead cavalryman approached Han Yilin.

He immediately dismounted.

Kneel on one knee.

"Suspicious enemy activity detected twenty li east of the city!"

really!

Han Yilin's expression turned serious: "Explain in detail."

The cavalryman immediately replied, "We were ordered to open up our vision to the east, and about twenty li from the county seat, we spotted several unidentified scouts who appear to be surveying our territory."

"Their armor style is somewhat similar to that of the soldiers in the Pingtian Army's forward outpost."

The Pingtian Army?!

A familiar name,

Han Yilin frowned: "Why is it the Pingtian Army again... and now they're even outside the city, scouting the situation in Zhatian County?"

"Other players shouldn't have experienced something like this."

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin opened the chat channel.

I flipped back a few pages.

The other players were still discussing development, with only a small number discussing issues such as the Pingtian Army and opening trade routes.

As for,

Regarding the Pingtian Army scouts

No one mentioned it.

of course,

This doesn't mean that other players didn't have this; it's possible they simply weren't able to discover it.

If it weren't for our cavalry...

otherwise,

It would probably be very difficult to discover.

only......

Han Yilin was eager to know what they were investigating him for. Could it be related to the destruction of the outpost?

Outpost...

Trade routes threatened...

Han Yilin always felt that the appearance of the Pingtian Army scouts was related to these events.

"If that's the case, then we're in big trouble."

A single outpost battalion has five hundred soldiers; if it were the main force, it would definitely number in the tens of thousands. Han Yilin doesn't believe that Zhatian County is capable of resisting them now.

"But there's no point in thinking too much about it now. If we face annihilation right after taking down the outpost, then probably very few of the other players will survive."

"Besides, we have too little information right now, perhaps..."

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin slapped his forehead: "If only I had kept some stone resources, I could have built more watchtowers outside."

In special buildings,

Eagle Eye Watchtower provides a wide field of view.

However,

During this time,

Han Yilin has always been exploring the outside world.

The construction speed of the watchtowers could not keep up with the speed of exploration, so only one was built at the beginning, outside the east gate, and no more were built after that.

right now,

Facing pressure from the Pingtian Army,

Building more wouldn't hurt, but the problem is... all the stones were used for road construction.

"Let's wait until tomorrow."

"Moreover, the most urgent task is to solve the food problem first, otherwise we will starve to death before the enemy even arrives."

...

Godfathers,

I'm taking a day off today and will update two chapters first.

I'm allergic to dust mites and have developed hives all over my body, including my arms and stomach. It's so itchy that I can't type anything.

The key is,

No pharmacies are open at this time.

Itching...
