Chapter 22: Pressure
In a daze, Ye Yihai seemed to see his father crying, and wanted to go over to comfort him, but he couldn't get close, and with all his strength, Ye Yihai sat up directly from the bed. It turned out to be a dream!
was about to lie down and sleep for a while, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure in the room, sitting at the table and looking at himself, this time, Ye Yihai's sleepiness disappeared!
"Hey! Morning! Elsa waved her hand and said hello.
Ye Yihai, who was going to take out the hammer, finally figured out who it was, and finally didn't really take out the hammer.
"Ah, morning!" Ye Yihai could only respond stiffly.
"The lord is so interested, the first day is the golden house hidden!" Elsa was still laughing uncontrollably.
Spreading out his hands, Ye Yihai suddenly said very boldly: "Look, I'm empty, where do I come from, if you want to Elsa, my bed welcomes you at any time!" ”
Ye Yihai is an otaku, he will be at a loss in front of beautiful women and can't speak, but he also dares to flirt with girls on the Internet, but only on the Internet, no one can see anyone, and he doesn't know what kind of situation is on the other side of the network. So in the face of the Chen sisters and Ye Feifei, he is a businessman most of the time, and he has that feeling on the Internet for "locals" like Elsa, so he is bold and presumptuous.
"Hehe," Elsa smiled and got up and sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her hand and said, "Oh, lord, do you want to know what happened to the last lord who asked me to go to his bed and talk to him about life and ideals?" ”
"Ugh! Wait, you said the last lord? What's the situation? Elsa really came over, Ye Yihai was embarrassed for a while, but he suddenly heard something unusual from Elsa's tone, so he hurriedly asked.
"Yes, the last lord, a color embryo, accepted a lot of female adventurers as wives within a few days of coming, and then hit me with the idea, but I beat me half to death, and then I was honest, do you want to try it too?" clenched his fists and said with a gesture at Ye Yihai.
"Not this, what about others? Why are you going to follow me again? Did you kill him? Ye Yihai asked.
"I didn't bother to kill him, he was beaten to death by other lords, I was still fighting nearby when the heart of the territory was occupied, and I fell asleep after the occupation ended, and I was assigned to you again when I woke up." Elsa had to answer all questions, but the answer really scared Ye Yihai.
"When was that, do you know the time?" Ye Yihai felt his heart beating hard, it turned out that the lord was not absolutely safe, even if he was the biggest in this now, but he didn't know when he would be destroyed by others!
"Oh, according to God's history, 4 months ago! What's wrong? Now that I'm in your bed, what are we going to do next? I don't know what kind of impact my words brought to Ye Yihai, Elsa is still playfully teasing Ye Yihai.
But now, how can Ye Yihai have that thought, 4 months ago, someone had the strength to destroy another territory, so how strong will it be now? And his reliance is just an altar, but other lords must have altars too!
"Can you tell me about the state of the territory when the last lord was destroyed?"
Seeing that Ye Yihai didn't have a joke, Elsa stopped teasing him, and replied seriously: "The city hall is level 2, the city wall is level 3, there is a level 2 arrow tower on it, and the city gate is level 2. The barracks only have the bow battalion and the pikemen, both of which are only level 2, and in addition to the initial 200 level 50 soldiers, there are only more than 300 archers and pikemen who are less than level 30. There are more than 1,000 adventurers in the territory, but the highest level is only level 30, and soon after entering the battle, they were frightened by the enemy's words and left the battle. Other than that, there is no other combat power. ”
Speaking of this, Elsa showed a lonely expression, obviously still annoyed by the defeat last time.
"What level is that lord? Didn't he exchange mercenaries? Ye Yihai asked a little strangely, he had converted 50 demon warriors into soldiers, and B-level mercenaries were not too expensive.
"The former lord's divine trust was exchanged for equipment and given to his wives, but unfortunately, when the battle began, these women were all frightened and hid, and they did not become combat strength at all. The A-level mercenaries he exchanged for were also by those women's side, so he didn't care about the city defense. The lord is not very diligent, when others called, he had just passed level 30, and he went out of the city directly to surrender! didn't know that what others wanted was his head to hand in the task, and he was directly killed! After that, although I led my men to resist with all my might, the city was quickly breached. ”
Well, Elsa's resentment is very deep, Ye Yihai is not ready to continue to ask about the past, people who have found a few wives can be diligent in going out to kill monsters and level up, then it is really strange!
"How can we strengthen the city's defenses?" With the pressure, Ye Yihai also cared about his own urban defense construction.
"Now the first thing is to develop, there is no way to strengthen the city defense without money, and the same is true for the army, there is no way to increase the number of troops without money. So I'm here to report to you yesterday's information. 2 goblin camps, 1 lizardman camp, and 1 snowman camp were found outside the city, and now in addition to the 200 non-mobile soldiers in the city defense, there are 50 level 25 demon warriors, 10 level 20 pikemen, and 10 level 20 archers, these 45 people are all the power that can be mobilized, and it is recommended that you can let them destroy the 2 goblin camps, which can get us a small amount of gold coins and some sacrifices. Then clear the goblins in the woods west of the city to build a lumber yard, clear the wolves and gray dwarves near the rocky mountain, and establish a quarry. ”
"Okay, just do as you say! By the way, their level is not high, so there will be no damage, right? Ye Yihai clapped his mind, but at the same time, he was also worried that there would be no losses from this only little force, right?
"Casualties are inevitable, but we can't afford to wait, can we? Goblins are only level 15 at the most, and this is the only monster camp that can be destroyed so far. ”
"Level 15!" This number really scared Ye Yihai, he killed so many yesterday, if he met a level 15, wouldn't it kill him in seconds? "It can't be that strong, right?"
"It's really level 15, there will be a goblin king in each camp, it must be level 15, sometimes there will be a goblin elder in the camp, that's magic, although the level is lower, but the threat is just as big."
It turned out that the Goblin King was only level 15, and he was scared to death! Ye Yihai breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "How can our soldiers increase in rank?" Kill monsters? ”
"Killing monsters is one thing, most of the time, soldiers are trained and upgraded in the training ground, including your mercenaries, can be trained and upgraded in the training ground. However, the speed is related to the level of the training ground, and now our training ground is level 1, and the upgrade speed is very slow. ”
"Then the next construction project is the training ground, as long as the resources are sufficient, it will be upgraded immediately!" Ye Yihai made a decision casually.
"The resources are enough, but there are not many gold coins now, and the bounty for the task is still being issued, so I suggest that it is better to slow down and upgrade the city hall first. After upgrading the town hall, you can get 200 gold coins per week, and you can trade with other provinces by opening a market, and in addition to emergency trading of scarce materials, you can also receive a certain amount of taxes. ”
Ye Yihai's head is big again, this, he really isn't the material for the lord! "Then upgrade the town hall first! Then build a market, and then upgrade that training ground. ”
"However, upgrading the barracks will not only increase the number of soldiers recruited every week, but also the level of soldiers recruited will be higher, and the importance is not lower than that of the training ground!" I don't know if it's intentional or not, Elsa will always give a different opinion.
"Stop! Let's do as I say first, postpone the barracks or something, let's talk about something else, aren't there any gold mines, gem mines or anything around here? Ye Yihai couldn't stand it, so he could only interrupt first and ask something else.
"Because of the limited strength, the reconnaissance personnel did not go too deep, but only searched for nearby resources. When our strength increases, I will increase our reconnaissance efforts. ”
"Then let's talk about God's trust, why didn't you add any God's faith yesterday?"
"There weren't many adventurers settled in our city yesterday, and they were all weak, so we didn't complete many tasks, but today it should be better. Those who were upgraded yesterday should be much more efficient today. ”
"Then why don't we open the restrictions of the teleportation array, then there will be a master coming?" After saying this, Ye Yihai found that Elsa showed an idiot look.
"You still don't have any good things to attract people to the merit exchange office now, so even if there are masters, they will only come to open up the wasteland and take away all the good things around your territory, but they will not hand in tasks in your territory, and when the adventurers in your territory grow up enough to take those benefits, they can't get them, and that can only be your loss. Even if we encounter bad adventurers and bully those novice adventurers in the wild, there is nothing we can do, and as a result, the adventurers in your territory will leave or die, and the decrease in adventurers will form a vicious circle, making it more difficult for the city to develop. There are also some lords with ulterior motives who will send people to the new territory to recruit people, and you can't give them their conditions now. ”
"But in a month's time, the teleportation restriction will also be opened!" Ye Yihai was still not convinced.
"After a month, as long as you put your mind to it, how can there be more than 300 soldiers who can be mobilized, plus the high-level soldiers who are converted from mercenaries, as long as they can hold the teleportation array, no one will dare to kill people casually, as for recruiting people, those who have contribution points, they will not leave casually to develop in other places, the gap in one month is still very large, the key is, after a month, your merit store, how can there be some good things that can attract people, right? If you're fooling around, that person will be called away, and you deserve it! Elsa said with disdain, wondering if she remembered the previous lord again.
"When attacked, won't the adventurers help, the city is broken, isn't their contribution value cleared?" Ye Yihai could only change the subject.
"As long as it is a state of war, adventurers participate in killing enemies with contribution points, so having good things in the contribution shop can attract people to fight, and the punishment of breaking the city is that all adventurers who settle in the city will lose their residence, and in the next month, they will not be able to hand over the contribution value tasks in any territory. But no matter how severe the punishment is, it's more cost-effective than losing your life, isn't it? ”
It seems that after all, the adventurers are only there to invigorate the city economy and help the lord gain the trust of the gods! You can only rely on your own forces to fight a war or something. However, for the sake of divine trust, he still has to try his best to help these adventurers develop, thinking of this, Ye Yihai couldn't help but say out loud, "How can I speed up the growth of those adventurers?" ”
"If you have money, you can give out some equipment to the training instructors, so that they can give more equipment when they are inaugurated for newcomers, and then according to the level, reward some equipment in the tasks I distribute, anyway, after they use it, as the level increases, they will still sell things back to the store, and we can reuse them, so the cost of low-level equipment is almost negligible. But that's hard to do right now, because we only have a set of drawings at our disposal, so it's up to you to pay more attention to that. In addition, you can also hold a contest for adventurers in your territory, where you can justifiably send some powerful equipment or items to the first few adventurers, provided that you exchange those prizes first. There are also some items that can assist in combat, and if they can be exchanged for meritorious deeds, they can also strengthen the strength of adventurers, such as mercenary contracts, pet eggs, and oh, and dog whistles! ”
