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

before this,

Faced with the various explorable areas around the map, regardless of the difficulty, Han Yilin would always choose to return to the county town to rest after completing a battle.

Even without much combat damage,

Before dark,

They will all return.

But it ’s different now,

On the map,

The contrast is very obvious.

Apart from Zhatian County in the center, there are only resource areas around it. As for the explorable areas that are similar to dungeons, Han Yilin has visited them all.

right now,

As the distance increases,

Han Yilin has no intention of coming back.

At least,

The resource problem needs to be solved before the subsequent threat from the Pingtian Army arrives.

now,

Leading troops out of the county town,

Han Yilin scanned the map. "Twenty miles to the north is the Nüzun County, so we can ignore that for now. To the east is the direction of the Pingtian Army's vanguard camp, so let's start from the west."

Once the direction is determined,

He led his troops forward.

this time,

Facing level four land,

Han Yilin had no right to complain. Anyway, there were plenty of manpower in the county town, and there were level-four grain fields along the way, so he could just take them over.

As for level three or level six land...

The former still disliked it.

The latter was concerned about the high casualties.

that's it,

A journey of twenty li,

A total of seven level-four lands were captured.

When the troops arrived here, they had reached the edge of the area already shown on the map; beyond that lay the area shrouded in the fog of war.

However, Han Yilin had nothing to worry about.

An army of seven hundred men.

Cheng Murou was also a personal bodyguard, and Li Zehao was also dispatched to lead a group of cavalry to patrol the surrounding area.

Such measures,

This is sufficient to prevent any unexpected events from occurring.

They hadn't gone far when

suddenly,

A scout came to report.

An explorable area has been discovered ahead, and its specific coordinates are now displayed on the map.

"Normal difficulty?"

"What else is there to say? Let's just take it!"

This area,

It's a dense forest of normal (blue) difficulty, with few guards, only a few dozen bandits.

An enemy force of this size,

For Zhatian County right now, it's a complete rout.

Sometimes,

The two sides didn't even fight.

Seeing the army's posture in attacking Zhatian County, the defending troops began to flee.

In contrast,

The difference between normal and difficult difficulty is actually quite large; they're not even on the same level when it comes to fighting.

[Obtained 1 Short Sword] (White)

[Obtain Xuan Tie Sword x1] (Green)

[Gained 115 units of food]

[Gain 107 Wood]

Obtained 12 iron ore.

[Watching GG... Treasure Chest Opens...]

You have received 3000 units of food.

You have obtained 2000 pieces of wood.

You have obtained 2000 iron ore.

You have obtained 2000 stones.

You have received 40000 copper coins.

[You have obtained the weapon: Fangtian Halberd x1] (Purple)

In just a short while,

After clearing out the garrison,

Sweep away,

Open the treasure chest.

After a series of operations, a considerable amount of resources were acquired, but the numbers that would have excited Han Yilin now seemed rather dull.

"Couldn't you give them more food?"

"As for weapons..."

I glanced at the attributes,

good,

But this thing can't be mass-produced after all. Han Yilin thought about it for a moment and realized that this kind of long polearm was obviously suitable for mounted combat.

So he simply handed it over to Li Zehao.

【Ding! 】

[Li Zehao's loyalty +20.]

Wow, that's quite a lot.

"Thank you, sir."

"Alright, don't be shy, hurry up and look for any other areas nearby to explore."

"Yes."

Received the order

Li Zehao set off again.

They led their cavalry to patrol the area, expanding their vision and searching for suitable resource points.

Fortunately,

I was pretty lucky.

Several more explorable areas were discovered, including quite a few level-five grain fields.

Such a discovery,

This delighted Han Yilin.

Until evening,

The sun sets,

Since setting out, we have acquired a total of nine level 4 lands, six level 5 lands, and cleared several explorable areas.

In general,

The harvest was pretty good.

The various scattered harvests, when added together, not only made up for today's food consumption, but also significantly reduced the negative daily output.

now,

In a simple tent,

Han Yilin rested his head on Cheng Murou's arm, his gaze fixed on the resource panel, constantly calculating: "At this rate, it will only take four or five days to bring the grain output back to positive."

"However, with such a high-intensity sweep, casualties are still unavoidable, but... um? Wait a minute."

While pondering,

Han Yilin glanced at the map.

This glance had a significant impact.

Another resource site was discovered, this one with a slightly different color. Just like the resource site where Liu Ruxue was found before, there was a resource site on the edge of an area shrouded in the fog of war in the southwest of the map, and it was already owned.

【Wild Rice Paddy】Lv.4

[Type]: Grain Resource Area

[Affiliation]: Sha County

Current Status: Occupied

[Note: Currently under protection, unable to launch an attack. 14 days and 2 hours remaining until the protection period ends]

Han Yilin squinted.

Looking at the panel,

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"Well... we've discovered another player's territory. Judging by this, the magistrate of this county probably really enjoys Shaxian snacks."

At the time of discovery,

Han Yilin also opened the chat channel and found Shaxian in the area list.

Influence value: 2722

Such development,

This is already above average, and among ordinary players, it's considered quite well-developed.

basically,

Barracks have already been built.

It has the strength to conquer level 4 lands.

but......

Han Yilin, however, thought of something different: Shaxian was located more than 20 miles west of Zhatian County.

coincidentally,

Female-dominated county

It is located in an area about 20 miles north of Zhatian County.

They are all about the same distance.

Han Yilin didn't believe it was a coincidence.

"interesting."

"If we look at it this way, the distance between the areas where each player's county is located should be about twenty miles. This range will definitely fluctuate, but it will definitely not be too far apart."

"In other words, there should be other players about 20 miles to the east and south of Zhatian County. Of course, the possibility of other local forces cannot be ruled out."

...

...

...

There's more to come.

However, it will probably be early morning, and the time difference is a bit difficult to adjust, so it will probably have to wait until after the World Cup ends.
