After controlling these undeveloped mining sites, Lin Ran was not ready to immediately intervene in those large and medium-sized mining sites that were interfered with by other villages. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe forces in these places are complex and the relationships are intricate, and the distance from Xiaobai Village is also a little farther, so Lin Ran has no way to extend his power to these places for the time being. is too anxious, and sometimes there will be chaos, and this matter still needs to be thought out slowly.

After ten days of hard work, Xiaobai Village's large-scale defensive buildings and wooden barracks were finally completed.

The finished wooden camp has tall and strong walls and full of defense, and at each distance, an arrow tower is specially set up to arrange crossbowmen with bows and crossbows to enter.

Above the wall is a structure similar to the battlements of the city wall, and the wall is more than one meter wide and can arrange many people to camp and attack the enemy below.

Lin Ran stood on top of the wooden camp, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, a month ago, this village was still a small and poor village, with only a few dilapidated thatched houses and a circle of crooked fence walls. Now, it has become a powerful village with thousands of players and various military defense buildings, so the huge gap and changes before and after make him feel a burst of excitement and pride in his heart.

Lin Ran looked at the boundless vast world in the distance, and now in the world of the Han Dynasty, the future is full of countless possibilities. There are so many capable people and heroes in the world, who can become the real master of this world in the end?

"Village Chief, the first yacht in the dockyard has been launched, please come and take a look."

Retracting his gaze, Lin Ran nodded, and he understood.

These days, the carpenter has been making fishing boats non-stop, and finally upgraded to a senior carpenter, making the first warship in Xiaobai Village.

The southern water network is dense, especially Yuzhang County, which is run through almost all areas by the main stream of various tributaries of Poyang Lake, and all areas of Yuzhang County can be easily and quickly reached by boat.

Therefore, a strong naval army is much more useful than a large number of infantry in many cases.

In the small river outside the village, with the busy fishing boats as the background, a single sail and three times the size of the small fishing boat appeared in the harbor of the dock.

The ship was sleek and had four small holes on each side, which were used by water handlers to paddle to propel the boats.

The sides of the ship were also deliberately set up with baffles to resist the bows and arrows of the opposing ships.

"Try it." Lin Ran said to a few legion players beside him.

A few people got on the yacht, and the oars were waved at a very fast speed, and after the sails were raised, they were like an arrow off the string, and they rushed to the other side of the river.

"Yes, carpenter, your craft is very good. The speed of the boat that came out was very fast. Lin Ran appreciated.

After receiving the compliment, the carpenter smiled happily: "Not only is it fast, but this yacht can also carry about ten combatants, which is very powerful in a small river like ours." ”

"Okay, you hurry up, and within this month, I want a fleet of yachts."

"Yes, I will definitely do what the village chief ordered." The carpenter answered.

The speedboat was manufactured, and Lin Ran selected some players and NPCs with good water skills to train on the ship and master the skills of maneuvering the ship and fighting on the ship.

Water warfare differs from land warfare in that, except in a few extreme cases, close-quarters face-to-face combat rarely occurs, and long-range weapons such as bows, arrows, and firearms are generally used to attack each other.

Therefore, Lin Ran equipped the fighters on the ship with the newly produced crossbow arrows of Komura to ensure the fleet's long-range attack capability.

The first fleet of sailors in Xiaobai Village was soon established, with a total of ten speedboats, each with ten fully armed fighters with both long-range and short-range weapons, and eight sailors on each boat, totaling nearly 200 people.

With the fleet, there was no combat mission now, so Lin Ran asked the fleet to patrol the waters around the village, or escort the village's fishing boats to more abundant fish resources in the distance. The rest of the time, there are no tasks, and they have been idle in the port.

However, soon the fleet established by Lin Ran came in handy.

Recently, a group of water thieves have appeared in the waters of Poyang Lake, wandering around and plundering villages.

This group of water thieves is actually not very strong, but there are only more than 100 people, and the boats they are riding are all some dilapidated and abandoned fishing boats, and they don't even have any decent weapons.

However, it was this water thief who brought a lot of panic to the villages of Yuzhang County. They have been wandering in various waters for a long time, disembarking from the surface at every turn, launching surprise attacks, and rushing into villages to plunder their property in a very short time.

Many villages were defenseless, and by the time they reacted and sent people in pursuit, the other side had already gotten on the boat and fled.

Those villages that had been plundered could only watch the other party leave with great power, staring dryly, but there was nothing they could do.

This gang of water thieves has caused great damage and panic to the villages along the river, but it is impossible for a village to close the village gate every day for the sake of waterproof thieves, and players still have to go out to trade and level up.

In this way, this gang of water thieves has succeeded one after another, making those villages and players complain.

Hearing that Lin Ran had formed a fleet, these villages hurriedly sent people to contact them, hoping that Lin Ran could send a fleet to exterminate this group of thieves who had been entrenched in various water systems for a long time.

Lin Ran touched his chin and said to the envoys, "Our Xiaobai Village has recently established a fleet. But these thieves haven't come to trouble me, and it's not really good to kill them. What obligation do I have to help you? ”

These messengers looked at each other, yes, who would want to do such a thankless task?

However, Lin Ran smiled and said: "If you want me to send troops, there is a very simple way, our Xiaobai Village will naturally not sit idly by and ignore the safety of the alliance village, if your village forms an alliance with us, wouldn't it be logical to send troops to eliminate this gang of water thieves?" ”

Forming an alliance with Xiaobai Village is naturally a dream of most villages, but the third clause of the agreement requires Xiaobai Village to decide the price changes of raw materials and commodities in their own village, which is unacceptable to many player village chiefs. Smarter players can see that Xiaobai Village wants to indirectly control the economy of his village.

In the end, surprisingly, only a few villages agreed to the League's demands. Many other villages are waiting, and it is time for Xiaobai Village to send troops to exterminate the water thieves.

Lin Ran sneered in his heart, he wanted to get the benefits at no cost, how could there be such a good thing in the world.
