Chapter 14: Sharpening the Knife
To be honest, Lu Shuang was overjoyed when he heard this task prompt, because after playing the game for a few days, except for Wang Yue's task that he was not qualified to complete for the time being, this was the first task that Lu Shuang felt could be done. If you have been farming on a single machine and have no tasks to do or challenges, it would be good to simply go back and play the Three Kingdoms War or Three Kingdoms Warriors, and let Lu Shuang get back the feeling she had when she played online games before.
Exterminating three or four hundred bandits in three days, with the development speed of Feitian Village, it should not be a big problem, but a three-day defensive battle will be carried out after occupying the robber cottage for a week, which makes Lu Shuang unable to assess the gains and losses. In the end, Lu Shuang agreed, it's a big deal to recruit more people to train more soldiers, "This is no problem, I'll bother you to lead the way for us later." ”
Mouton Village is not very far from here, Lu Shuang took Wang Yue and the men to Mouton Village to find their village chief, leaving Wang He and the others to rest in place, and after resting enough, they went to brush the next medium-sized and medium-level monster camp.
After walking for a short time, Lu Shuang and the others came to Mouton Village, and with the help of the man, they quickly met the head of Mouton Village.
"The head of Xiafeitian Village, the sky is full of light feathers, I heard that your village was harassed by robbers, and I came to help."
"Hehe, little brother is polite. I am Liu De, the head of Mouton Village, and I have already told me about your righteousness Zhao San just now, and I would like to thank you on behalf of our Mouton Village. ”
"Destroying the thieves and making the world too peaceful is something that everyone should contribute." Lu Shuang asked while saying polite words, "Old Liu, can you tell me about this?" ”
"We had a total of 53 soldiers in Mouton Village before, all of them were of the fourth order, and there was also a mid-level general. That night, about 30 robbers attacked our village, and although it was partly due to the lack of preparedness of the soldiers in the village for many years of war, the bandits were so fierce that we paid the lives of a dozen soldiers to repel them. According to the soldiers' feedback, half of these 30 robbers are strong, and maybe... It's a fifth-order soldier. Speaking of this, Liu De observed Lu Shuang's expression, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he continued: "At that time, we had just repelled the robbers, and the situation was very chaotic, but thinking that they might attack the village in the future, we sent a soldier to follow them, and finally found their cottage thirty miles away. The cottage numbered about 400 people, with a watchtower, and people came out to patrol every once in a while. ”
"System prompt: Liu De, the head of Mouton Village, has sent you a mission request to eliminate the robbers attacking Mouton Village within three days and occupy the robber cottage. Reward: All the villagers of Mouton Village will belong to you. Penalty for Failure: Desperate Mouton villagers fall into the grass and join the bandits to fight against you. Acceptable? ”
"Accept."
Although he may encounter a lot of fifth-order soldiers, or even higher-level bandits, Lu Shuang is confident that he will be able to create a group of strong teams within three days.
"Elder Liu, if you really exterminate these bandits within three days, I have a small request, that is, you join my Feitian Village as a wanderer, and everything else will remain the same, okay?"
......
In the evening, Feitian Village, the village chief's office.
"My lord, today's training situation is that all 30 seventh-order soldiers have been promoted to level 14 and have reached the strength of the eighth-order peak; The 30 fourth-order soldiers with A qualification have all been promoted to level 11, reaching the level of seventh-order soldiers, and it is estimated that they will be able to catch up with the first batch of soldiers tomorrow, while the 30 fourth-order soldiers with B qualification have only been promoted to level 10 because they have to bring new recruits to level up, which is not enough to advance to the sixth-order soldiers; In addition, the 75 recruits just selected today have also reached the conditions for transferring to non-commissioned officers, and the two S-qualified recruits can be transferred to special generals today. Wang Heshang reported.
"Very good, so that we in Feitian Village are not afraid of being bullied by others." Lu Shuang pondered: "Now there are still 9 places for generals in the barracks, Wang He, do you want to use it first?" In this way, with military generals, it is much more convenient to train troops and exterminate robbers. ”
Wang He, as the patrol commander of Feitian Village, is equivalent to the chief in charge of military affairs, and it is still necessary for Lu Shuang to tell him some things. To Lu Shuang's question, Wang He replied: "My lord, the last general thinks that this is also feasible, after all, the military general is much stronger than the soldier, but the cost of this transfer may be a bit high." ”
Lu Shuang understood what Wang He meant, it takes a lot of money to become a military general, from the establishment of the village to the present, Lu Shuang has spent as much as 777 gold on the general, although selling weapons can get a lot of income, but it can't be squandered at will.
"Then the military generals who train the troops are set as intermediate generals, and the intermediate generals are enough for the low-level monster camp or the small middle-level monster camp. Tomorrow, I'll see how many S-qualified villagers I can recruit, and then decide the number of mid-level generals, and if there are better ones, choose the better ones. In addition, B-qualified soldiers are used as archers, and A-qualified soldiers are required to intensify their training when they charge into battle. ”
"Lord, today the blacksmith shop makes 40 pieces of fine iron-grade weapons, the tailor shop makes only 20 pieces of plate armor, and the leather armor is not sold to the public, so every soldier can wear it, but the high-end armor is very different." Wang He said with a sad eye.
"There's no way, there's only one senior tailor in the tailor's shop, so it's impossible for her to work overtime. I've also considered this, so yesterday I sent an S-qualified villager to be an apprentice, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to become a teacher. Lu Shuang spread his hands.
"Lord, when will we be able to build a private school in our village? Now the first batch of A-qualified apprentices has reached the time when they can comprehend the primary life skills, and the B-qualified apprentices are also fast, and they can't understand if they can't build a private school, so our production efficiency can't be improved. Cao Lao interjected on the side.
"This... I'll see if I can recruit scribes. ”
Since Cao Lao and Wang He have improved their qualifications, Lu Shuang feels that the work efficiency of the two has improved a lot, and they don't have to take care of many things by themselves, it seems that there is still a big gap between S qualification and SS qualification.
In order to improve his strength as soon as possible, Lu Shuang has put a lot of effort into training. In addition to sending the necessary soldiers to deal with a large number of low-level camps, the rest were upgraded by farming humanoid monsters, and there were quite a few eighth-order soldiers and special generals, and the humanoid monsters in the grass camp were quickly emptied. Even if it is a level 0 recruit, the level soars to level 10 or above a day later, and the A-qualified recruit can almost be transferred to the seventh-order soldier when he goes back, and the B-qualified recruit has also reached the sixth-order soldier. If you work harder, it may not be a dream to advance to the eighth order soldier one day, but it is just that there are not so many monsters that are the problem.
In terms of weapons and equipment, although the villagers of Feitian Village are all high-qualified NPCs, the life class is not like the combat class, where someone can upgrade with a monster, but you have to produce one product after another to gain experience points. In other words, in the same amount of time, the speed of their upgrade is mainly determined by their production efficiency, and the more they produce, the more experience points they have, and the main attribute intelligence will increase their work productivity. If it weren't for the attributes of life occupations that only needed to be added to intelligence, many people would have to scold their mothers, because even in a village with high-qualification NPCs like Feitian Village, only A paper NPCs had an intelligence of 50 among the first batch of ordinary NPCs recruited, so you can imagine the difficulty of upgrading.
Fortunately, Lu Shuang spent a lot of money to recruit a lot of life occupations with skills before, and some high-level weapons and equipment were produced. In order to prepare for this mission, Lu Shuang had to implement a wartime unified deployment policy, and ordered the junior and intermediate blacksmiths of each blacksmith shop to build a batch of iron shields, ready to be used to build a sword and shield army. The senior blacksmith continued to make fine iron weapons, and the sixth, seventh, and eighth rank soldiers of fine iron weapons could be used, but they could only meet the needs of the eighth-order soldiers in three days, and the output was not high. The tailor's shop remained unchanged and produced armor as originally planned.
In addition to weapons and armor, special carpenter Liu Hua also prepared a gift - an iron tire bow. The Iron Tire Bow is a third-level bow with far superior range and lethality to repeaters, and requires a sixth-order soldier to use. It's not that Liu Hua can't make a more advanced bow, but the more advanced the bow, the higher the level of the soldier needs to use, when dealing with the fifth-order soldiers, the iron-tire bow is already a Barrett sniper rifle, let the seventh and eighth order soldiers be archers, and the fifth and sixth order soldiers charge into battle, and the huge loss.
