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

From this background story,

Han Yilin also learned that the main force of the Pingtian Army was definitely in the capital of Jing State.

Their attention,

This also applies to the female emperor who lost her country.

I certainly wouldn't care too much about someone as small as myself.

That is,

Even if they attack,

The number of people will not be large.

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin felt a little relieved of the pressure.

Zhatian County now boasts 700 professional soldiers, whose weaponry is comparable to that of the Pingtian Army. They can also rely on the city walls for defense, and they plan to form an archer unit later...

Such a defense,

can only say,

The problem is not big.

but,

At this stage, it's still not safe enough. The key is defending the city, and it's impossible to be without archers.

After looking at the resource output,

Although the food problem has not been completely solved, it will not be a problem in the short term. With this in mind, Han Yilin opened the recruitment interface.

Select 150 people.

Click to recruit.

[Should we consume 3000 grains, 15000 copper coins, and recruit 150 militia?]

"confirm."

[Will watching GG double the recruitment numbers this time?]

"1"

The 30-second GG ended.

Militiamen emerged from the barracks, bringing the total strength of Zhatian County's forces, including the soldiers in front, to one thousand.

As for these militia members

Han Yilin was sent directly to the training ground for training.

but,

Regarding job changes,

Han Yilin wasn't in a hurry. Firstly, he was short of bows and arrows and would have to buy more from the armory later.

another,

After changing jobs,

The amount of food consumed is really excessive.

It's better to wait until we fight the Pingtian Army before changing jobs.

Save money wherever you can.

Nobody thinks they have too much food.

After the arrangements were made,

Han Yilin then went to the market and found Zhuang Li, the manager of the armory shop.

Seeing Han Yilin come over,

Zhuang Li immediately came out to greet him: "Lord Han, what do you need this time?"

"Bow and arrow."

Han Yilin got straight to the point: "Three hundred bows, plus a number of arrows."

After all, they're here to do business.

Zhuang Li maintained a smile throughout: "Of course, of course. So, sir, you still prefer green quality?"

"Yes, when can we trade?"

"tomorrow."

Zhuang Li replied, "The store doesn't have that much stock on hand. We need to get it from the caravan's storage. It will all be delivered to Zhatian County by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"Okay, as quickly as possible."

Han Yilin added, "And another 10,000 arrows, let's calculate the total cost."

"..."

Just like last time,

The deposit is still 30%.

After finishing everything,

Han Yilin finally managed to find some free time.

At the beginning of the game, the daily tasks were to capture five resource sites and then recruit a group of refugees.

right now,

With continuous development,

There are more and more things to deal with.

Han Yilin sometimes thinks that it would be great if he could just be a hands-off manager.

I silently complained to myself.

Leaving the armory,

Han Yilin did not return to the city lord's mansion immediately, but instead walked along the stone-paved road and circled around the market area.

It was still early.

In the market,

It was the liveliest time of day.

Shops on both sides of the road were open for business, people were coming and going, and women were asking about prices around the stalls.

The bathhouse not far away,

Although it had only been open for one day, it was already packed with people.

In contrast,

It seems like I'm not experiencing the same game as other players, where I'm playing as a county magistrate.

On the way back,

Han Yilin, having nothing else to do, opened the chat channel and glanced at it.

The contents,

basically,

All of these revolve around development and military affairs.

"Recruiting soldiers is really expensive, and the daily food consumption is just too high. Is there anyone willing to sell me some?"

"I do have some, but the problem is how do we trade? We can't just do it offline."

"Speaking of which, shouldn't there be a trading market for all games? Right now, it's impossible to trade, and resources can't circulate."

"There is a trading channel, but it's always been grayed out, and I don't know what the conditions are for opening it."

"It can't be about opening up trade routes, can it?"

"Then we've got a long wait ahead of us; the Pingtian Army is no easy opponent."

"Let's develop slowly. I finally managed to conquer a level 5 piece of land, but a fifth of my army died. It's really infuriating."

"It's best to change your class before fighting, the militia's combat effectiveness is really poor."

"Changing jobs doesn't cost money, but food consumption doubles, and they even require military pay. How many people can afford to support professional soldiers these days?"

"Who can argue with that? Building an army really costs money."

"..."

now,

The initial stage of land reclamation has passed.

Most players,

They had already built barracks and started forming an army, and they encountered the same problems that Han Yilin had faced before.

Money and food.

These are two unavoidable difficulties when forming an army.

At this stage,

To solve this problem,

The only option is to expand outwards, occupy as many resource-rich areas as possible, and plunder as many explorable regions as possible.

But this approach

When players,

After they encounter each other, friction is inevitable.

Han Yilin could already foresee the situation where these players would fight each other after the 30-day protection period ended.

"The players are twenty miles apart."

"In other words, each player's safe expansion range is only ten miles in radius, but this area is far from enough to meet the development needs of a county town."

Regarding this point,

Han Yilin said he knew it all too well.

Let alone a radius of ten miles, even a radius of twenty miles wouldn't be enough. Look at him now, he's already overwhelmed just trying to support a cavalryman.

Fortunately,

His development is far ahead, allowing him to plunder resources from other players first.

"Soon."

Thinking of that scene,

Han Yilin couldn't help but laugh: "There are less than thirteen days left. The time to really show our skills has come."

Back at the city lord's mansion,

After a long day,

Han Yilin walked straight to Huaqing Pool in the backyard. Yesterday's playful antics had really given him a taste of the fun.

Send someone to call Cheng Murou and Xiao Qiyin.

Subsequently,

Take off your outer clothes directly.

He jumped into the pool.

The warm spring water enveloped my entire body, instantly relaxing my previously tired form.

Unfortunately,

Enjoyable moments are always fleeting.

Just like in class, time always seems to pass slowly, especially during the last class on Friday afternoon, when the weekend is almost here, it feels like an eternity.

But if you play games in an internet cafe,

Several hours,

It passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Yilin felt that he hadn't done anything, so how come the next day had passed in the blink of an eye?

and,

My lower back is still a little sore.

"This can't be! I'm so young and energetic, how could I be so drained already?"

Clutching his waist,

Get out of bed.

now,

It has been eighteen days.

Just as Han Yilin was about to recruit a group of refugees, a notification suddenly appeared.

This prompt,

He's already quite familiar with it.

A caravan arrived.

If nothing unexpected happens, another chamber of commerce should be moving in, but when Han Yilin arrived at the city gate to greet them, he sensed something was wrong.

At the city gate,

There wasn't a single carriage behind the so-called caravan.

and,

Their guards,

They were all pale-faced, many with blood-stained strips of cloth wrapped around their bodies, and the leader of the group looked particularly panicked.

His expression softened considerably after seeing Han Yilin arrive.

"What happened?" Han Yilin asked, frowning.

The caravan manager cried out in panic, "My lord, please save us! We came from Liang Kingdom and were planning to trade in Zhatian County, but when we were about ten miles from here, we were suddenly robbed by the Pingtian Army."

"The guards were either dead or wounded, and even all the goods were stolen."

"They number at least three thousand and are currently marching towards Zhatian County. Lord Han, you should prepare accordingly."

...

...

...

Daniel Wu and his ilk.

Please give me a five-star review.

I'd be happy to give you a five-star review, even if it's just a donation from someone who's doing it out of pure love.
