Chapter 637: The Waterway is the Safest
Suddenly there is a territory, which feels like a man begging for food with a bowl at the gate of the city, and suddenly becoming a king with many fish.
"Don't be so optimistic, there are only fifty guards, and they can't keep our family business at all." The madman Ouye grabbed his hair urgently, this guy is quite crisis-conscious.
"Ten villages must be guarded, and only if the player feels safe will they choose this place as their birthplace." Rorschach is more focused on long-term development.
The construction of a territory is related to the player's population, especially the settled population.
Most players will choose a place to use as their settlement, such as Huggins, who Su Mo chooses, and the brothers of the Scarlet Banner.
Even if you have a territory and attract millions of players, it won't bring any financial benefits.
Only when the player's food, clothing, shelter, and use are all done here, can they become the permanent population of the territory, can they get the money in your hands, and can be willing to take up arms to defend their homes in the event of a crisis in the territory.
The simplest source of permanent population is naturally the novice village under the jurisdiction of the town.
When the player comes out of the newbie village, he must first go to the town.
If the town makes a good impression on the player, they will choose to bind the town back to the city stone, and after a long time, they will become a permanent resident.
As for the megacities of Tallinn and the Holy City, the consumption is too high, and the consumption of hotels and restaurants of the same level is more than ten times that of the town.
Huggins is the size of the town, with only one town and ten novice villages, which is a place that players don't like to visit. After all, if the novice village is overcrowded, the system will add a novice village, and Huggins can put a hundred novice villages.
"Ten novice villages, a village should have at least four guards, which means that forty guards are gone." Su Mo's mood was very sour.
"Actually, just put two," Tian Dazhuang said: "Novice players have a low level, two guards can be suppressed, we can use players to patrol, and the effect of high-level players is not much worse than that of guards." ”
"Then there are thirty guards left." Su Mo was helpless.
The novice village where he was born, also under Huggins' command, he remembered that the small village had twelve guards, four guarding the door, and the other eight patrolling the village in two groups.
Pity him, the new Lord Huggins, who can only put two in one village.
There is no lower limit.
"Thirty, I suggest ten mines, although the mine does not produce much, but there are a lot of open-pit veins around, I suspect that there are a lot of mine resources hidden underground, and there are many holes that can be dug out." The god cat said.
He's a tech nerd.,He also likes all kinds of research in the game.,Sometimes if you need ore or something, you'll go out and dig it yourself.,He's a very senior miner.。
"Then there will only be twenty guards in the town." Su Mo sighed.
Twenty guards, four gates, the railway station, a fixed patrol, and a certain number of mobile personnel.
No wonder Viscount Wesley gloated so much.
He was a viscount and could recruit five hundred guards, but Su Mo only had fifty.
"In that case, you're still going to have to move up the ranks." Sheng Shi Anning looked at Su Mo, she basically didn't play games much, but she also knew how difficult it was to be famous.
"That can only be done slowly, let's recruit masters as much as possible, and if the quantity is not enough, we will make up for it with quality." Su Mo said.
How to find a master?
Su Mo thought of Wallace.
If you're going to mess with me, I'll allow you to open a fast-food restaurant in Huggins, and hopefully that will impress them.
He soon came to the place where Wallace was hiding.
Although Wallace trusts Su Mo very much and regards him as a brother, Su Mo has already been interrogated, it seems that Wallace's power has increased recently, otherwise he would not be able to distinguish so many people.
And on the way to meet Wallace, Su Mo also saw a lot of refugees and young people.
Shibei should be impressed for three days!
Only then did Su Mo realize that this was a game, and it was impossible for people to spend a few years to grow. As soon as this main quest is opened, it is immediately equipped with a treatment that only the protagonist has.
It is estimated that there are at least several hundred young and strong people with a certain amount of combat effectiveness.
Wallace hugged Su Mo very warmly, he hammered Su Mo's shoulder, and asked excitedly, "Brother, what have you been busy with lately, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”
"Fool around, Wallace, I have good news." Su Mo Zhengse said.
"What's the good news?" Wallace was intrigued.
"I recently got a lord...... Su Mo said.
"What, this can't be, brother, only nobles can become lords, and you're just an adventurer." Wallace, of course, didn't believe Su Mo's nonsense. It seems that as long as it is a person, whether it is a gamer or a game NPC, the first impression of hearing that Su Mo has become a lord is that this product is crazy.
Su Mo was also very helpless, he could only try to explain again.
It took a long time to explain that Wallace accepted the message - his brother Iron Horse Binghe went from being a wandering adventurer like him to a high-status Huggins.
Su Mo was actually a little worried, worried that Wallace would not agree with his new identity, and might even feel that it was a betrayal.
Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, and Wallace was very happy for Su Mo: "Congratulations to you, it's a pity that I don't have any wine here, otherwise I must have a drink for you to celebrate." ”
"I have you if you don't have any wine, and I specially brought a lot of wine and food today." Su Mo began to take things out.
Everyone is no stranger to the adventurers' magic, or the system has blocked their thinking direction, anyway, they are very calm to watch the wine and food that is enough to fill a dozen tables appear.
The wine was specially brought by Su Mo, but the others were not.
It was the rations of the little golden python, and Su Mo was buying food almost all the time, and this money would have cost a lot if it was really calculated.
Wallace saw so much food in front of him, and he was not polite at the moment, beckoning the old and young hidden in the mountains to come out and enjoy it together, and the wine was all shared.
The famine was raging and the nobility was brutal, and these refugees had to flee the territory of the nobility and survive in the mountains.
What's even more outrageous is that the nobles can still convict these people, divide them into thieves, and put a reward on their want, and the money spent on the wanted can save ten times as many refugees.
Su Mo and Wallace sat on a stake and drank.
"Go to me, I'll try to put everyone together." Su Mo offered his invitation, not because he wanted to pull Wallace and these refugees to fill the population - this is a game, and the size of the population doesn't mean much to a player lord like Su Mo, and it will violate the so-called laws of nobility.
The law of nobility refers to the kind of rule that is independent of the law.
These rules were not relegated to the written books, but the aristocracy would make them authoritative, even above the law, and anyone who violated them would be reprimanded.
If Su Mo takes in Wallace, there will be a certain risk.
But Su Mo is not afraid, he has a backer, at least in the short term, Grand Duke Stan will not turn against him, and the vampires will not push him out as his "own person".
The rules are not unbreakable.
If Su Mo is a lonely man who gets a territory by walking shit luck, then these neighbors around him will be staring at him to death, and if he makes any mistakes, he will be knocked down.
But if Su Mo had a background and a background, then everything would be different.
As long as the person covering him is powerful enough, no matter how fierce he is, others can only watch.
"Forget it, the sky is big, where can't we live, and it's not just these people you watch, there are more people, either dead, or dying, or life is better than death, we have to have an explanation." Wallace said.
Su Mo was dumbfounded, he and this person had only been separated for a few days, how could it have changed so much.
In the past, Wallace was a wandering warrior who didn't understand anything, but now he has become a qualified protagonist of the main quest.
"Old man and child, it's not a way to toss like this, I'll find a way to open up a passage and let them go to my territory to beg for a living, you may not know, Huggins's place is vast and sparsely populated, although it is barren, but as long as you work hard, there will always be a place where you can be satisfied." Su Mo said: "I believe that you can change your way of living, and then you can find a way to repay me for everything I have done today." ”
This is investment, I see that you have a future, add weight to you.
Wallace munched on the bread in silence, half-nibbled it, and handed it to a little boy who ran past him.
"You are my brother, I won't say anything politely, there are indeed a lot of people on my side who need to be settled." Wallace finally chose to ask Su Mo for help.
The system prompts Su Mo to complete a new task [Worries].
Wallace is a poor bastard, he can't give anything but experience and prestige, and Su Mo is now at the top of level 50, so he can't even get experience.
So all the rewards are eventually converted into prestige.
This time, the main quest directly gave Su Mo 50,000 prestige points, and his total prestige suddenly exceeded 250,000 points.
From an ordinary person to a lord, it is 300,000 prestige, from a lord to a baron, it takes the player to reach one million prestige, a baron to a viscount needs to reach five million, and a viscount to an earl is even more exaggerated, it requires twenty million prestige.
An ordinary quest will normally only give ten prestige points, and if it is less, it will be five points or even non-granted.
"It's just that the nobles are very blocked, and it's not easy to send people to you, once the nobles find out, even you can't explain it." Wallace wanted to know what Su Mo could do.
The area where Huggins and Wallace are located looks not far on the map, but if you do walk, you have to pass through the territories of several nobles.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to go silent and unnoticed.
At first, he rejected Su Mo, on the one hand, because he was worried that Su Mo would be affected, and on the other hand, the operability of the plan was too poor.
"My plan was to take the waterway, set off at night, and arrive before dawn the next day, and the area was basically connected by water. Here, here, turn around again, and go straight from the waterway into the Huggins Sea. Su Mo didn't say anything, took out a map to write and draw, and quickly formulated a road map.
"This can indeed avoid the eyes and ears of the nobles to a certain extent, but monsters are rampant in the water, which is very dangerous." Wallace pointed out the loopholes in the plan.
What's more, it's still walking at night, it's a long life, right?
After all, this is a game world, there are not only fish in the river, but also fish monsters, and fish bosses.
"Don't worry about this, Wallace, I promise there won't be any danger in the water." Su Mo said: "Actually, I have a friend ......"
Victor, the king of salted fish!
Victor, the salted fish king, is an amphibious fishman who holds a sea king fork and is invincible across the sea for three thousand miles, not to mention that there are other aquatic apostles who serve as helpers for him.
For example, Edith the old loach, Orlando, the green-skinned lizard, Duck Gotha, and so on.
The Flying Apostle can also patrol the skies, and any enemy approach will be blocked, and if the nobles along the way dare to move, unless they can gather an army of several thousand people, they will be killed as many as they want.
This is a super monster army that can be destroyed even by Archduke Stan's testing ground.
"If you are sure, brother, I will have no problem, I will remember your kindness in my heart, and we all remember it in our hearts." Wallace said gratefully.
"Without further ado, start arranging now, you have to get some boats, rafts are fine, tie them well, the fleet will leave tomorrow night, and then make it clear to the people on your side, whatever you see will be treated as if you didn't see it." Su Mo almost forgot his original intention of coming here, and directly took on a trouble for himself.
This is Su Mo, sometimes he is uncomfortable if he doesn't pit someone else's skin, and sometimes he is suspected of being a bad person.
These refugees, young and old, evoke some memories of him.
"Brother!" Wallace was almost moved to tears, he was extremely glad that he knew Su Mo, he patted his chest and asked, "Is there anything I can help with, you name it!" ”
"Really," Su Mo said the purpose of his visit this time: "I'm only a lord now, and I can get fifty guards at most, and my territory can't be guarded at all, do you have any masters here to borrow from me." ”
"Uh......" Wallace was immediately embarrassed.
Su Mo helped him so much, he wanted to repay it very much, but Su Mo's request really made him embarrassed.
"If it's inconvenient on your side, forget it." Su Mo hurriedly added.
"It's not inconvenient, the manpower will be available to you soon, but it's not a master, most of us are bankrupt farmers, and then there are workers in the city who can't get along, and there are some homeless people, there are few who can be regarded as masters, and it is estimated that they are not as good as those monkeys under your brother's hands." Wallace was a little embarrassed.
This is probably the game version in disguise that people are not as good as the monkey series.
