Chapter 17: The Village
Xiang Qi, Liu Tianming and the others went out of the city one after another, and the four of them brought a full number of mercenaries, if they wandered around the city, it would be very attention-grabbing, and it would not be good if they were noticed by a certain force.
Low-key development is king, and Xiang Qi doesn't want to be too ostentatious.
After Xiang Qi and the others left the city in batches, they all rushed to the seaside canyon, and more than ten minutes later, Xiang Qi and the four people met at the mouth of the canyon.
"Someone passed by not far away just now and stared at me for a long time! Whether it's for us or a passing player, I don't quite know. Liu Tianming said that he was the first player in the nearby area to recruit full mercenaries, and it was normal to be noticed by other forces, and the most feared thing was that someone would follow them here and find out where their village was.
If it's just a passing player, then it doesn't matter, if it's from some forces, then the problem is very serious, especially when the village has just been established and the defense force is extremely weak, if it is attacked, the consequences will be very serious.
"The three of you are building fortifications here, and we don't know what their intentions are, and we can't take them too lightly." Xiang Qi was cautious on this issue, on this map, either side could become their enemy. Any faction that discovers their presence will spawn covetousness and seize their villages.
"Okay, let's start preparing right away. As long as the fortifications are repaired here, the other side does not have hundreds of units, so don't think about attacking them. Liu Tianming said confidently, and the soldiers under Ye Zong began to build fortifications, carry stones and other things, and create obstacles.
"Are you sure there are no roads in the canyon?" Xiang Qi asked uneasily, if there were other roads leading to the interior of the canyon, and someone would bypass it, enter the interior of the canyon, and attack from behind, they would die a miserable death, and Xiang Qi had to reconsider this issue.
"Probably not." Liu Tianming seemed hesitant, he had roughly observed the nearby terrain and did not find a second way, but this was just not found, after all, he had not looked for it carefully.
"You build fortifications here first, I'll look for it, and if we don't find a second way, then we'll start building a village." Xiang Qi said that it was a matter of survival, and he must be very cautious and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
"Okay." Liu Tianming responded.
Xiang Qi asked twenty strong miners to help in the same place, and he went to find the exit, this is a basin, surrounded by cliffs, the way to find a way out is very simple, just stick to the cliffs to find it.
Xiang Qi followed the cliff and searched for the past, the terrain on both sides is steep, it is impossible for players to come down from above, unless there is a celestial level power, it is said that players who have risen to the celestial level can have the power to destroy the world, and a magic can destroy a city, which is a bit like red alert, nuclear weapons in the interstellar.
It was hard for Xiang Qi to imagine the scene at that time, once the war began, wouldn't those cities be a pile of ruins?
Searching along the cliff, Xiang Qi arrived at the outside of the Zhongpin Mine Cave, there are a large number of cave people living inside the cave, Xiang Qi wants to mine here, he must first clean up all the cave people, this is a very troublesome thing, he can't do this for the time being. Even if there is another exit from the cave, it will be difficult for the people over there to enter the canyon through the mine, so it will be safe until the cavemen are cleared.
Continue to search along the rock wall until you reach the sea, and you don't have to worry about the sea for the time being, as players have not yet developed a ship.
It seems that there is no other exit, Xiang Qi thought to himself, and was about to leave, when he suddenly found that there was a path on the cliff that connected with the sea, which only allowed one person to pass through, leading to the outside.
Xiang Qi's heart tightened, could it be that this path on the cliff was connected to the outside?
If this road leads to the outside, for the sake of safety, they must set up guards on this road, otherwise other players will go around to the inside through this path, they will be dangerous, Xiang Qi slowly touched the sheep intestine path on the cliff, the sea breeze howled, the waves beat against the cliff, this path is really difficult for people to find, and careful search may not be able to find it, thinking of this, Xiang Qi's heart settled down a little.
Walking along the sheep intestine trail, after a few minutes, Xiang Qi found that there was no road ahead, and the trail was broken from it for a long time, and it was impossible to continue to move forward.
Xiang Qi looked for a moment on the cliff, there were some places to climb, could he still move on?
Xiang Qi tried to climb forward by himself, sticking to the wall like a gecko, and after moving forward for a distance, he crossed the broken area in the middle and reached the side of the sheep intestine path.
A few minutes later, he actually came out of the canyon and onto a beach outside the canyon.
Sure enough, there is a second way out, but this path can not be considered for the time being, even if someone can pass through here and reach the canyon, the number will not be very large, and the large army will not be able to pass through this path, if the other party only has one or two players, it will not be able to threaten the village of Xiang Qi in the canyon at all.
A few minutes later, Xiang Qi re-arrived at the mouth of the canyon.
"There's an exit in there?" Liu Tianming asked in surprise when he saw Xiang Qi coming in from outside the canyon.
"There is indeed an exit, but it is just a small road, so you don't need to think about it." Xiang Qi said, took a look at the surrounding fortifications, this section of the canyon mouth, Liu Tianming and others set up a lot of obstacles, dug several trenches, because the entrance is relatively narrow, it does not take much time to dig these trenches.
The fortifications are already in shape, there are no problems with security, and it is time to build the village.
Xiang Qi walked to the center of the basin, found a suitable position, opened the backpack bar, and double-clicked the village construction drawings.
System: Do you decide to build a village here.
Be!
A brilliant light rose into the sky, and a tower-like object on the ground slowly rose, made of stone, and at the top was a huge crystal ball, which was the energy cornerstone of the village, if the energy cornerstone was destroyed, the village would be destroyed, and if the player seized control of the energy cornerstone, it was equivalent to controlling the village.
After the village is established, there is a village construction page on the control interface of item seven, and the primary village can only build a few buildings such as farmland, housing, mills, watchtowers, mines, lumber yards, and quarries.
Housing is to increase the population, farmland, mills, mines, lumber yards, quarries, etc. are all to collect resources, after the tower is built, send a soldier up to expand the field of vision, the attack power of the soldier is the attack power of the watchtower.
Local Message: The player leader has built a village.
This is the sixth village in the region, and players are speculating about which family has the strength to create a village so quickly other than the five major families.
The five major families have sent some players to find out where Xiang Qi's village is, but after a few hours, they still have no results, as if this village does not exist at all, is it a system error?
The five major families all felt extremely pressured, could it be that there was a sixth force on this island that they didn't know about?
Xiang Qi took advantage of this time to develop the village rapidly, anyway, it was not bad for money, he went to the clan tribe to recruit a large number of farmers, and all kinds of buildings in the village began to break ground, one by one private houses rose from the ground, and five units of farmland were reclaimed.
With the strong financial support of Xiang Qi, the village developed rapidly, and ten private houses were built, and the population of Xiang Qi reached 120, which was enough for the time being. There was a woodland in the middle of the basin, and Xiang Qi built a logging yard at the edge of the woodland, hired several lumberjacks, and the logging work was carried out in an orderly manner. Grain and timber resources are steadily rising.
The village is a busy scene.
The population of production occupations reached sixty, and Xiang Qi spent thirty gold coins just to recruit production occupations and build houses, and it was really expensive to build villages.
The other sixty people recruited ten militiamen, fifty hunters. Liu Tianming, Yang Yun and Xiao Xue also filled the population, so that there was not much left of the fifty gold coins that Xiang Qi earned, only more than two gold. With so many soldiers, the defense should be enough, and as for the money, it will soon be earned back.
"Let's go get the mine out of the hole!" Xiang Qi said that after the mine is cleared, the miners can go to mining, and their economy can keep up.
"Let's wait, a few people wandered at the mouth of the canyon just now, and they were all sent away by me, and a few wanted to enter the canyon, but I killed them, maybe they will come again." Liu Tianming said that he had an uneasy feeling that if only one or two people passed by, it was normal, but when players passed by one after another, things were a little wrong.
Hearing Liu Tianming say this, Xiang Qi's heart sank, and he was silent for a long time: "You guys guard outside first, and I'll go into the mine to clean up the periphery of the mine, so that the miners can mine." ”
"Okay, let's stay outside first." Liu Tianming nodded and said, if something happens outside, Xiang Qi can withdraw at any time.
Xiang Qi took ten militiamen, fifty hunters, and thirty strong miners to the direction of the mine, and when they arrived at the mine, ten militiamen marched in line, followed by thirty strong miners, followed by hunters, and the large army entered the mine.
After entering the mine, Xiang Qi encountered a group of about thirty fifteen-level cave people, and quickly commanded a group of militia and strong miners to go up, and fifty hunters fired a volley of arrows behind him, and a ** arrow rain salvo, and the cave people were swept away to only a few scattered, and a group of militia and strong miners surrounded it, and quickly cleared the remaining cavemen.
Sixty units quickly advanced under Xiang Qi's guidance, occasionally encountering one or two fifteenth-level silver-level cave people, and they also fell to the ground wailing under the dense rain of arrows from hunters, giving Xiang Qi a few silver treasure chests.
Xiang Qi shot one thunderbolt technique after another, and after the equipment was upgraded, the lethality of the thunderbolt technique increased significantly, and when attacking ordinary cave people, it was already able to reach about ten points.
With so many units farming monsters together, most of the experience belonged to Xiang Qi, and the level quickly climbed, rising three levels in a row to reach level nineteen.
After cleaning up all the cave people outside, Xiang Qi arrived at a cave entrance, which was the entrance to the second layer of the mine, Xiang Qi didn't dare to go in, and asked a militiaman to go down to investigate, and found that there were twenty-level cavemen inside, and the militia never came up again, and fell under the siege of the cavemen.
