''Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Expansion of the House Flow Begins''
I finally agreed to the mayor's proposal, or rather request. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I will not cooperate with the Legion in the same way, I will stand with the Alliance to block the Legion invasion together. Although the alliance is not expected to appreciate it, the attitude of the legion really can't make any good impression on me, and I won't seek the skin of the tiger. Besides, the Coalition's stewards haven't joined us yet, and now it's just a personal alliance between me and the mayor.
However, the trade with the legion still has to be carried out, firstly, to replenish the missing gold coins, and secondly, to stabilize the legion and let them not do anything. We're strong, but Mayor Mare told me that the Legion's remaining strength is still strong, and that our current strength won't be able to stop their attack without the Coalition's Three Cities' Magical Defense Array. "The effect of holy water is too strong, and the holy water legion dares to take risks for the sake of enough." The mayor told me.
"The legion now has about 10,000 standard fighters, more than 12,000 militia (don't confuse these armed peasants with our militia) and a ragtag army of robbers and mercenaries. In addition to a few thousand warriors, the legion also has several magicians, all of whom have reached the official level of strength. They are much more numerous than us, and their overall strength is far superior to ours. After the Great War, the Legion's heavy weapons were severely damaged, but there were still some magic weapons left, which could directly shatter bikini-like walls. And they've also made a lot of big weapons like ballistas, so we don't have an advantage in the event of a fight......"
The mayor told me about the strength of the Legion, analyzed the strength of the enemy and the enemy, and found that we were no match for the Legion at all. It is estimated that the content of our talks this time will not be long before it reaches the alliance, and then we will become the target of the two sides, but we will also become the primary target of the two sides in the battle. We chose the alliance but it doesn't mean that the alliance will trust us and do everything to save us, even if we help us in the end, we will be controlled by the alliance, which is not what I want to see.
"Iron also needs to be hard." After learning about the general strength of the legion, I decided to return to the Tibetan army city immediately, and quickly expand the army to improve my strength as soon as possible.
After a few words of conversation with the mayor, I returned with my troops, and in a few days the Legion men will bring money to redeem their soldiers, and buy holy water, I am still relatively safe these days, I must expand my troops as soon as possible, improve the strength of the army, and prepare for the next fierce battle.
There are a lot of Legion troops, and the quality is not comparable to that of the robber troops, I need more troops, and I think those houses in my hands seem to be a good way to expand the army quickly.
When I returned to the Tibetan Soldier City, it was already a little dark, but this did not affect my ability to find a place to set up a militia training camp. I have two militia training camps in my hand, I thought about it and decided to give it a promotion, although the number of militias coming out will be less than half, but the level 2 training camp is out of the level 4 regular army, the quality of the regular army is obviously superior to the level 3 militia, or I can call up the upgrade interface, upgrade the cards, level 1 rare cards cost 100 gold coins, a lot more expensive than in the game, but I can afford it. I picked an open space next to the barracks, poured the cards on holy water, and threw them out. When the card fell to the ground, it immediately turned into fragments and transformed into a huge magic array, the magic circle rotated slowly, and in the core of the magic circle, a building slowly rose from it, and gradually condensed into shape.
Several houses are connected together, which look like dormitories, and a larger house is located in the middle, and a sword hangs from the house. The flag was raised in what resembled a playground, and a low fence protected the building and formed the entire perimeter of the training camp.
The magic circle faded away, and the glow on the house gradually faded, and after a "squeak", the door of the central building of the training camp was opened, and a heavily armed regular army soldier stepped out of it with his head held high.
''It's not enough. I looked at the regular army who had joined the ranks, then at my own gold coins, and summoned the shop.
I still have a few thousand gold coins, I will leave some necessary gold coins, and exchange the rest of the gold coins for skeleton tombstones, these cheap and not eat, drink, or get tired and not low attack power is a very good choice for now.
I have to raise some money these days to build the cemetery, although it sounds a little weird, and it is very expensive, but the extra quarter of the troops and the additional combat power increase effect is definitely worth the price, a tombstone can produce close to 100 skeleton soldiers more, which makes the tombstone cost-effective become very cost-effective, and it will also make the effect of my army expansion better. I bought 5 tombstones, and although there is no cemetery, I still placed them, and now we have too much need for the army.
.............
For the next three days, my job was very simple, summon the skeleton legion, trade holy water and arms with the alliance caravans and mercenaries, and buy skeleton tombstones when I earned gold, and in three days I placed more than 20 tombstones and a goblin hut in the town, the first batch of tombstones have been damaged naturally, and those places have been filled by new tombstones, close to 2000 skeletons have joined our battle sequence, and this is just a batch, and now the third batch of tombstones is beginning to be placed. Every hour, two or three hundred skeleton soldiers with iron swords crawled out of the tombstones, and our military camp was filled with tens of thousands of skeletons, and a large number of skeletons were sent to the forest to clean up the monsters and dig underground caves (used to hide troops and supplies) because there was no place to place them. The inhabitants of the system often come to me to complain that they don't hate skeletons, and even kind of like these goofy guys, but they want the skeletons to give them some space, and the streets are full of skeletons right now! I understand their feelings, the rioters are too fast, and now there are even one or two hundred skeleton soldiers in the mines who are "doing voluntary labor". Now when I go out, all I see is a bunch of skeletons gathered there doing physical communication, and my aesthetic is about to be changed by these skeletons. Philip also found me, and told me very seriously that this kind of violent way of fighting is a bit too much, and our city can't support these troops, at least not to live. Vera also wants me to divert resources to city building, the current tribal town is not large enough, and the farmland is not yet harvested, and the reckless use of military force will only overwhelm us with a heavy military burden.
I eventually accepted their offer and spent the gold on town building once again. I won't continue to fight until the skeletons have dug a hole to hold all the skeletons, because the effect of the house stream is completely beyond my imagination, and the speed of the storm is so fast that I know why these seemingly ordinary tombstones and houses are rare cards, and once they are in full swing, the huge army will overwhelm everything.
The envoy of the legion also arrived, and the elite squad, still led by high-ranking warriors, came to us in an ordinary-looking carriage and delivered a ransom and compensation of 3,000 gold coins, and bought 20,000 gold coins of holy water. They seem to be very generous in this transaction, and they don't blink their eyes for tens of thousands of gold coins, but Vera can see that they are tired, the years of those gold coins are very different from the old and new, and there are a lot of old gold coins from Subic, it seems that this time the legion has taken out a lot of money from the bottom of the box, and their economic problems can be seen.
But the Legion's performance was still a little haughty, a kind of glorious pride. They asked me what I was thinking about, and I told them we were going to have a friendly business relationship with them, but I didn't want to take sides. I could see that their faces were not very good, and I knew that they must have hit a wall on Fang Zi's side. However, they seemed very calm, and only said that they hoped that the two sides could maintain friendly business exchanges and not be affected by the alliance. They mentioned the alliance many times, and there were no good words at all. Before leaving, they tactfully told me that even if I joined the alliance, I should not really get together with the three cities of the alliance, otherwise it would affect the "friendship" between the two sides and cause not very good results.
Threats, naked threats to us and the alliance union. Although I was upset, I still sent them away politely. I know that the alliance is not stupid, this kind of thing can't be hidden from them, and I guess they will say something similar when the time comes.
Sure enough, less than a day after the legion left, the caravan and envoys of the alliance came to the Tibetan Soldier City again, and this time they placed a large order of 30,000 gold coins, including dozens of bottles of holy water and a certain amount of weapons and armor. In the same way, their emissaries chatted with us at the base camp for a while, claiming that our seat in the Alliance had been decided, and respectfully addressing me as "Your Excellency", and saying a lot about the threat to the Legion, and suggesting that my deal with the Legion should be done in moderation. As I was leaving, I could detect the slightest hint of threat, despite my gentle tone and respectful tone.
''Alliance, legion, raccoon dog. I told Mei Long this, and he agreed.
"We should now strengthen the construction of towns, increase the scale of farmland, build more warehouses, upgrade the barracks, and lay a good foundation for the expansion of the army in the future." ''Mei Long gave me advice, and I took it all. I have a lot of gold to work with now, and I'm going to build all the infrastructure of the city!
Under the smashing of gold coins, the level of the military camp has been increased by 2 levels, and I have built five additional military camps to upgrade by 2 levels, and now the military district has used up more than half of the land. I also built a legion farm outside the city, and a number of ordinary farms in the agricultural area, which cost almost 20,000 gold coins. The warehouses were also connected in a row, five warehouses, enough to store our surplus supplies. I have also appropriately purchased 10 private houses, and although the common people will compete with the army for resources, they are also our important reserve force. If nothing else, each adult resident pays a tax of 1 gold coin per week, and the commercial tax on the stalls is also calculated separately. The workers and peasants came out of the population, and they could join the army and become militias. They are a stabilizing force for urban development, and I can't live without them.
...................
When the summer heat had completely subsided, the first grain had finally ripened, and as far as the eye could see, green and gold were intertwined, the peasants cheered, sang songs belonging to the peasants of the tribal world, brandished their sickles in the fields, and women walked to the mill in the farm hut with their plump wheat and heavy potatoes and carrots. People spontaneously organized the distribution of food, lit bonfires and cheered for the arrival of autumn. The soldiers of the army also opened the ale to celebrate the arrival of the harvest season, and by the way, they watched the dishonest goblins, who had been thinking about the grain for more than a day or two. I sat down at the base camp table, and Vera brought me freshly ground bread, as well as roast meat and vegetables. In addition to carrots, there is also some lettuce, which is what Westerners call "lettuce", which is a new vegetable crop added to the level 2 farm hut, which I like.
While enjoying the fresh, environmentally friendly and pollution-free delicious food in front of me, while looking out the window at the golden yellow, I knew that it was time to build a house again.

Western. Kingdom of Tada
''It's autumn, it's fast.'' Looking at the fallen leaves that gradually turn yellow, Wang Shengzhe has deep feelings: "The deciduous broad-leaved forest, here is also this kind of tree. He picked a few leaves at random as he walked.
''The leaves are old and will fall. Trees get old and wither. When the country grows old, it will perish! Wang Shengzhe rubbed a few times and broke the dead leaves. ''Unless, let him be reborn.'' He looked up, looked at the half-yellow canopy, and said to the guards behind him, "Let's go, winter is coming." ‘’
Wang Shengzhe turned around and walked to a high platform not far away. On the other side of the platform, there is a crowd of people and undead and balloonists floating in the air.
''Winter is coming, will spring be far away?'' Wang Shengzhe chanted Shelley's poem, and faced his troops with a firm expression, Li Renjie walked up to the high platform and stood with him.
''If Tada's new life is to come, she must be given a harsh winter!'' ‘’
