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

so far,

I encountered two outposts of the Pingtian Army, one near my own home and the other near the Nüzun County.

right now,

It is precisely because of this,

These two outpost battalions were wiped out.

That's why the Pingtian Army's scouts came to investigate.

"So, you've been scouting around the area these past few days?" Han Yilin asked.

The scout nodded quickly: "Yes."

"What will happen if the message gets back? Will the higher-ups send troops?"

"Yes...yes."

Upon hearing this,

Han Yilin's heart sank.

"How many troops can you send?"

"Approximately how long will it take to arrive?"

Faced with Han Yilin's persistent questioning, the scout's voice trembled slightly as he answered, "I...I don't know. I'm just a scout, and I don't know how many people will be assigned."

"As for the journey, it will take about two or three days from the vanguard camp to here."

Vanguard Battalion?!

Han Yilin immediately noticed this word.

He immediately asked, "What vanguard battalion? How many men are in it?"

"There are probably three to five thousand. I really don't know the exact number. We scouts are only responsible for reconnaissance and relaying messages. Matters such as troop deployment are decided by the general above us."

Upon hearing the scout's description,

Han Yilin's expression turned very serious.

before this,

He thought the Pingtian Army's outpost was just an ordinary area that could be explored, and that once it was captured, there would be rewards such as resources and treasure chests.

result,

never expected,

This is absolutely a hornet's nest.

After hitting,

There was actually a sequel.

"That's disgusting."

"If there are only three thousand men, with Cheng Murou there, and we can also use the city for defense, it's not impossible to fight."

"However, with such a large area, there will definitely be casualties. Unless we can crush the enemy, there must be a lot of good stuff in the camp."

"The outpost camp ahead is already purple difficulty, so a vanguard camp of several thousand people must be gold, right? And after that, it'll be red..."

of course,

Han Yilin also knew that

At this stage,

That's a bit unrealistic.

Whether they can withstand it is another matter. As for a counterattack? Let's just think about it.

But no matter what

We still need to improve our defense.

first timing,

Han Yilin found Li Zehao and said, "From now on, the cavalry's reconnaissance area will be expanded. Once the Pingtian Army is spotted, report it immediately."

"clear."

Li Zehao nodded.

Obviously,

He also knew the seriousness of the situation.

After he accepted the order and left,

As Han Yilin walked out of the police station, he also opened the building list and found the option to build the arrow tower.

This originated from a blue design drawing.

It's been some time since I acquired it.

only,

Han Yilin has never been built.

It's not that resources are insufficient, but rather that Zhatian County didn't even have city walls before, and there was a 30-day protection period, so Han Yilin didn't think there would be any external threats.

Moreover,

There were also a bunch of other buildings waiting in line at the time.

It was naturally placed at the back.

Things are different now.

Zhatian County is about to face the revenge of the Pingtian Army, so the defensive fortifications must be completed as soon as possible.

The materials needed for construction are not many.

only,

According to the explanation,

Once the construction is complete, archers need to be deployed to make it effective, but this is another problem that Han Yilin faces.

previously,

After upgrading the City Lord's Mansion,

The new arrow workshop building has been unlocked, but it can only produce arrows; it cannot produce bows and crossbows.

Therefore,

Han Yilin also left it aside.

Even now,

There were no archers in Zhatian County either.

"Bows and arrows... although we can't make them, we can buy them now. But the problem is the food shortage. Do we have to continue expanding the army and converting soldiers into archers?"

"The better you develop, the more problems you'll face."

Under immense pressure,

Han Yilin became somewhat impatient.

no way,

Time is of the essence.

If they don't hurry, they may be wiped out by the Pingtian Army's swords and spears. But with more and more problems to solve, Han Yilin simply cannot remain calm.

It's like,

When a person is hungry, their only worry is how to fill their stomach.

But once they can eat their fill, they face many more troubles.

The same applies to resource management and simulation building games.

This kind of game,

In the beginning,

There are only a few buildings that can be constructed.

There were no external enemies either.

The population is not large.

but,

As the size of the power and the population grow, the troubles to be solved will also increase.

Throughout the entire process,

If a problem occurs, the finances will explode.

right now,

Han Yilin felt that

It seems like I'm facing a similar problem myself.

The pace of development was too fast, especially with the formation of the cavalry, which led to an explosion in food resources, and there was also the external threat of the Pingtian Army.

"Damn it, whatever."

"We definitely need to recruit archers, otherwise we won't be able to defend the city."

"As for the food problem, there's always a way out. At worst, we can just keep scavenging outside. We don't even need to go back to the county town at night. The more I scavenge in this one-time event, the less other players can scavenge."

"Walk other people's paths, leaving them with no path to walk!"

this moment,

Han Yilin suddenly became ruthless.

right now,

He faced not only the problem of food shortage, but also the fact that all the explorable areas within a 20-mile radius of Zhatian County had been completely cleared.

If you want to continue acquiring resources in this way,

You have to go out and walk twenty miles.

Adding the round-trip time,

every day,

On the road,

It would waste a lot of time and be tiring.

right now,

Han Yilin decided,

Just camp in the wild, head out and loot wherever you go, don't care about this or that. A seven-hundred-man army, can't possibly be wiped out in the wild.

Once enough resources have been collected,

You can then begin recruiting and changing their class to archer.

"Order the entire army to assemble!"

Gave an order,

A team of seven hundred people,

They quickly assembled at the city gate.

Simultaneously,

Han Yilin also called on Li Zehao and Cheng Murou, "Let's make a way. We might have to spend the night in the wilderness this time, so let's plunder as many resources as possible."

"As for the Pingtian Army, it will take them time to get here, and in the meantime, we must solve the food problem."

After hearing the order,

Li Zehao inquired, "Sir, what about the matter of gathering information...?"

Han Yilin said helplessly, "Let's put it aside for now."

"There are priorities, and with the watchtower in place, I'll be alerted if any enemies get close."
