Chapter 75: Direction for the next six months
William knew all along what his shortcomings were.
What he said is not combat power, the improvement of combat power depends on experience and time, William can only stroll on a snail and slowly go up, what he lacks is power.
In the early stage of the game, it is impossible to rely on the player alone, he was a player in his last life, how can he not understand what the player's heart is?
Attachment is strong, beating the weak, whoever gives good benefits, I will go wherever I go, this is the player's ......
Even if William thinks he is handsome, he breaks through the sky, everyone loves him, flowers bloom, and cars see cars.
But......
It's unreliable to rely on his appearance to attract people, at most he can attract some girls with slightly lower combat power, and this is not in line with the essence of his hard work and not wanting to rely on his face.
Of course, this is also the reason why William went to great lengths to develop the City of Dawn.
And what is the crisis that the City of Dawn is facing now?
First, it occupies too little territory, most of which is forest, and slightly less land can be planted.
Second, there are ore vein resources, and there are a lot of them, but he doesn't dare to expose them easily, as the player said, the reason why there are so many bosses in Dawning City is that the population density is too large, so players will often find them.
But William is self-aware, there are two transcendent professionals in the two human principalities, 7 legends, and there are not too many epic NPCs......
For the time being, he is far from being able to compare with the two human principalities, and if he really leaks too precious mineral resources, he will definitely start a war, not to mention that others have destroyed and leveled themselves, and it is not too much worse.
Third, the population is too small, even if he buys some slaves every month, the population of Dawn City today is only 60,000, the army is only 4,000 people, the mercenary is 800, and the 800 clan warriors of the Minotaur are only 5,600 people.
Even if the overall rank and equipment of the army are very strong, when facing the absolute number, there is only a choice of defeat.
Fourth, the overall background is too bad, unless William reaches the upper limit of the version in advance, that is, a high-level professional, he can fight alone in such a small place, and one person can defend a city.
"Then ......" William sat at the head of the conference hall and looked at the many officials under his command and said in a deep voice: "There are two paths in front of us, one is the development of the elite model, and the second is to increase the number of ordinary troops and build the army on a large scale.
Otherwise, when the two human countries go to war, whether we want to avoid war or not, because of the terrain, we will be drawn into it. ”
Alec looked at William with admiration and said, "What your lord said is right, the intelligence agency you asked me to set up has just found out some news, and the war between the Principality of Steel and the Principality of Black Rock is imminent.
Even if it drags on any longer, there will be a complete war in half a year, and then we will still be so weak, with the ambitions of those in charge, we will definitely be forced to stand in line, but no matter which side we choose, we will suffer huge losses.
There is also a key piece of information, that is, the Principality of Steel has sent a lot of spies to infiltrate the Dawning City, but I don't know what their plans are. ”
Between words, Alec glanced at Odom, who was in charge of the city's security and logistics, with the intention of reproaching.
"My lord, my subordinates didn't know that there were spies in the city, it was the fault of my subordinates, and I ask the lord to punish him." Odom glanced at Alec and immediately stood up and bent down to confess.
William nodded expressionlessly: "If there is a crime, then you will be fined 3 months' salary, you don't have to care about those spies in the future, as long as you can settle those new civilians and give you a salary increase after the year." ”
"Thank you, Lord for your grace." Odom smiled and raised an eyebrow at Alec triumphantly.
It seems to be saying that Lao Tzu is the lord's number one PY iron, and you doll has to line up behind.
Odom shook his big wavy blond hair and sat down slowly.
Grace and power are equally important, and there are punishments and punishments, which is something that those in power must master.
Strength can represent everything, but it can't really buy people's hearts.
William thinks that his talent is awesome enough, but talent does not mean everything, everyone's mind is inscrutable, and it is not accurate enough to just look at the perception, unless it is full......
Lotner said worriedly: "But a large-scale increase in troops, the City of Dawn can't afford it!" ”
"Then find another way." William lifted the curtain behind him, and a brand-new map appeared in front of everyone.
The map covers a small but detailed area, including almost all the cities, mountains, rivers, lakes, and forces in the southeast corner.
He pulled out the Thunder Sword and pointed at the offshore beach south of Rainbow Lake: "The next expansion direction of Dawning City is to expand the surrounding territory, and by the way, the coastal zone. ”
As soon as these words came out, the four epic high-ranking officials of Lautner, Odom, Alec, and Eric were a little confused.
Expand the territory they understand.
Sea area?
What is there to develop?
When William saw their expressions, he knew what they were going to fart, so he said decisively: "Maybe you have forgotten one thing, a long, long time ago, our Legendary Continent was still a small piece of the Continent of the Gods.
The Continent of the Gods has been torn apart by wars, and there are many small islands on the sea, in addition to several other continents.
The navigation industry and the fishing industry are the direction of our development in the second half of the year.
We don't have much food to produce and can't muster too many troops, but I have found a map of my father, and he clearly shows that there is an island of abundance a few hundred nautical miles to the south.
With the development of the seafaring industry, the food obtained can also alleviate a large food crisis. ”
The four of them glanced at each other, with a little helplessness and a wry smile on their faces, the lords all moved out of his disappeared father, and if he refused, he would not give face to the dead.
So Lotner cautiously asked, "What does the lord mean?" ”
"Make every effort to develop the navigation industry, open up a mountain road from Rainbow Lake to the south, starting tomorrow!"
"However, no one in Dawning City can build sea ships, let alone warships...... "Anyone who has seen the sea is impressed by the stormy waves.
The endless ocean, the unpredictable weather, and the legendary sea creatures are enough to make terrestrial races, and epic NPCs like Lotner are also very afraid.
"Ahem, it's really up to Uncle Lautner to help......" William looked at him with a smile.
Lotner chrysanthemum tightened, what did he hear?
The two most terrifying words in his heart, uncle......
It's a pity that in the conference hall, he thinks that it is difficult to fly.
He could only say in a hoarse voice: "I don't know what the adults command?" ”
"Tomorrow you and I will go to the City of Night, whether it is to tie up, steal, rob, or in short, get back the shipbuilding blueprints, or the shipbuilders." At this point, Lautner's face turned dark, and there was nowhere to put his hands......
And the other three have wide eyes!
The legendary city of the night.
It was an elven city with a population of millions.
In the entire Black Leaf Forest, at least one-third of the pure-blood elves live in this forest city.
Tens of thousands of potions pokemon......
Behemoths of diamond dragons, metal dragons, silver dragons......
And the Blackleaf Sacred Tree that the Blackleaf Elves are proud of.
It is rumored that the black-leaved sacred tree that grows in the interior of the city is 10,000 meters tall and is an indescribable behemoth.
however
No matter how magical the city is and how many legends there are, it is a rare existence for outsiders like them.
It can even be said that ordinary people can't even find this city!
William's words also express a message!
He wants to renew his relationship with Night City!
But the hard part of it......
Just look at Lotna's old chrysanthemum-like face, and you can feel it.
