Chapter 15: The Bandits Attack
"Ding~ Dear player, the dock of your 'Sword Bearer' village has been successfully constructed."
"Ding~ Please note that since your territory has been built into a dock, the citizens you recruited have already set off by boat and will arrive in your territory in the next 2 days."
After being promoted to the village level, the construction speed of new buildings was obviously much slower than when the camp was held, and it was not until more than two days later that the wharf was finally successfully completed, and most of the new buildings were also completed and used one after another, and the most time-consuming was the 2 shipbuilding workshops, and it took more than 1 day to complete the progress, and Lu Cheng was in a hurry.
"Your Lord!" Just as Lu Cheng was supervising the construction of the shipbuilding workshop, Mike ran over.
"Mike, look at your happy appearance, are you crutching... Oh no, the invited adventurers are here? Lu Cheng saw Mike with a beaming face, and immediately guessed that he must have brought the adventurer over.
Mike rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly: "Lord Lord, God counts, I have invited those friends to come over, and I am waiting at the west gate of the territory, can the Lord move and take a look?" ”
Lu Cheng patted Mike on the shoulder and said happily: "Thank you for your hard work, after settling them down, I will give you a reward of 150 gold coins, and the extra 11 gold coins will be regarded as the drinking money I gave you." ”
"Well, my lord, there are actually more people than I reported last time."
"So how many people came?" Lu Cheng asked.
"There are 62 beginner adventurers, 21 intermediate adventurers, and 3 advanced adventurers, a total of 86 people."
呲~
Lu Cheng almost sprayed again, Lu Cheng wanted to ask Mike if he was born as a human trafficker, why did the number of kung fu people increase so much in just a few days?
"That's right, my lord, after the reform, your territory has become more attractive to adventurers, because adventurers like prosperous places the most, and the citizens of your territory are now richer, we can receive more tasks to do, and our income will increase as a result, so many adventurers are willing to come to your territory to develop." Mike explained.
"Pick up a task? Didn't you follow my command to reconnoiter what's going on near your territory? ”
"Lord Lord, in fact, adventurers don't run outside all the time, junior adventurers prefer to look for work in the city, doing some work such as helping Grandma Wang find the lost flower cat, repairing furniture for Uncle Li, of course, like me and my brothers like to go to the field to find some combat missions, making more money and more dangerous." Mike said.
"I see, it seems that it is because of the good development of the territory that we can attract more talents." Lu Cheng nodded, but he had to calculate, he had to give Mike a total of 289 gold coins, this guy was going to get rich again, and there were a lot of rewards for him, seeing that Mike this kid is now equipped with all the equipment all over his body, such as knee pads, shoulder pads, helmets, etc., which are all fully configured, and these equipment are quite good, I don't know how many times better than the previous poor barehead.
Lu Cheng now has a huge amount of more than 3,000 gold coins, the dwarf suit has been selling well, the price has been stable at around 70 gold, and there are very few equipment that can compete, most of them are still single items obtained from bandit camps or wild monsters, and it is impossible to compare with the mass-produced dwarf suit.
Walking and chatting with Mike, he soon arrived at the gate of Xicheng, Lu Cheng looked from afar, and saw a team of nearly 100 people waiting at the door, their outfits were almost the same, some were carrying giant swords like door panels, some were carrying longbows, some were holding all kinds of long and short weapons, and some couldn't see where the weapons were hidden, and there was even a muscular man wearing a pair of gloves.
"Adventurers are all different, and each adventurer has their own unique preferences, but rest assured, Lord Lord, these adventurers I have invited to you are all excellent, and they are all capable people with a skill." Mike said with a hard look.
"This is Gru, a high-level adventurer who is good at using the heavy sword." Mike pointed to a big man who was more than 2 meters tall and carried a giant sword on the door panel.
"Hello Lord! Gru is the most powerful warrior, and if you want to hire someone to cut someone, please think of me. The big man named Gru recommended himself with a lot of energy.
"Well, hello Gru." Lu Cheng also greeted politely, "I'll have to bother you to help more in the future." ”
"It's an honor!" Gru slapped his chest hard.
"This is Selena, a high-level adventurer who specializes in using short swords." Another high-level adventurer introduced by Mike is a woman with an ordinary appearance and average figure, and carries two short swords behind her back.
"Serena greetings to the lord." Selina replied slightly coldly.
"Hello, Selina."
"This is Arthur, a high-level adventurer who specializes in using a longbow." The high-level adventurer introduced by Mike carried a longbow taller than a human on his back, and the matching bow and arrows were more than twice as large as ordinary bows and arrows.
"Hello, Arthur, how far is your bow and arrow?" Lu Cheng asked first.
"Hello Lord, the effective range of my longbow is 500 meters, which is nearly 1 times longer than the 250 meters effective range of an ordinary bow and arrow." After saying this, Arthur took the longbow from his back, took out a huge arrow from the quiver, and shot it at the sea to the south.
"Smack~" I saw that the arrow easily crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and landed on the sea, and Lu Cheng could only see a wave stirred up by the arrow from a distance.
"Good, I don't know how accurate it is?" Lu Cheng asked.
"If it's within 200 meters, I'm 50 percent sure of hitting a humanoid target, 20 percent sure of hitting a humanoid target within 400 meters, and more than 400 meters depends on luck." Arthur knows his own strength very well.
"Good." Lu Cheng knew that bows and arrows were no better than guns, and it was not easy to have such an accurate head.
Then Mike introduced other intermediate and beginner adventurers to Lu Chengyi one by one, the most adventurers who use swords, guns and swords, as well as some long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, there are also fighting factions that focus on fist and foot kung fu, and some use daggers and other assassination weapons, and there are 5 healing professional adventurers in the team who carry packages like travelers.
"First of all, welcome to my territory." Lu Cheng walked to the front of the team after Mike's introduction, and said to the newcomer adventurers, "In order to welcome everyone, I announce that all junior adventurers will receive a set of equipment of the same level as steel sword and steel armor, intermediate adventurers will receive a set of equipment of the same level as high-quality steel sword and steel armor, and senior adventurers will receive a set of equipment of the same level as the dwarven steel suit. In addition, you can also receive a fixed basic salary, 5 silver per day for beginners, 10 silver per day for intermediate, and 30 silver per day for seniors. ”
"Thank you, Lord Lord!" Lu Cheng's generosity made the newcomers cheer.
"In addition, you all have a skill, the territory is not only my own, but also your home, I sincerely hope that you can contribute to the territory, in the territory in the face of foreign invasion can stand up." Lu Cheng continued.
"Rest assured, my lord, we will not allow any enemy to invade your territory!"
"Ding~ Dear players, there are 3 high-level adventurers, 21 intermediate adventurers, and 62 junior adventurers who have applied to join your 'Sword Bearer' village, do you agree?"
"Agreed."
Lu Cheng saw the increase of nearly 100 adventurers in an instant, his heart became more steady, with the continuous development of the territory, he also had a powerful army in his hands, a few days ago Mike found a number of suspicious traces when he was scouting around, and also found that there were only basically empty bandit camps left after pouring out of the nest. Lu Cheng judged that it was likely to be the robber revenge prompted by the system earlier, and the nearly 100 adventurers brought by Mike this time were very timely, effectively enhancing the military strength of the territory.
Lu Cheng directly gave Mike 400 gold coins to show encouragement, and the grateful Mike frequently showed loyalty to Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng didn't eat him, and quickly drove him out of the camp to investigate the situation in the east, of course, it costs 5 gold, this black-hearted guy.
A day later, a meeting room in the center of the village.
"My lord, after many investigations, we have found a large number of bandits gathering 10 kilometers east of your territory, and we have found that they are building siege weapons in large numbers." Mike was the first to report the situation.
The meeting was attended by 7 people, including Lu Cheng, Mike, Jona, Gru, Selina, Arthur and Pout.
"Then what are you waiting for, just kill and sneak attack!" Gru slapped the table and stood up and shouted.
"Gru, calm down, the robbers are not fools, they have arranged guards along the way, we will be discovered as soon as we go out, and then it will not be us who will attack them, but we will drill traps." Selina hurriedly pulled Gru back to her seat, the most upright of the three high-level adventurers was Gru, and she didn't know how this guy survived until now without being calculated and killed by the enemy.
"Mike, how many robbers are there?" Lu Cheng asked by tapping his fingers on the table.
"Because there is no low-level reconnaissance on security issues, the specific number of people has not yet been grasped in detail. Our scouts explored the vicinity carefully, and found 27 level 1 bandit camps, 12 level 2 bandit camps and 6 level 3 bandit camps, 3 level 4 bandit camps and 1 level 5 bandit camp on the eastern side of the territory, and all the bandit camps showed signs of being withdrawn, if calculated according to the 70% of the troops drawn from each camp, the total strength of the bandits this time should be about 2,000 people. Mike wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, there were so many robbers on such a small peninsula.
After learning of the robbers' actions, Lu Cheng did not hesitate to expand his forces frantically, and now there are only more than 400 militiamen, plus 91 adventurers and only more than 500 people, facing an enemy 4 times his size, the pressure is also quite large.
