Chapter 20 Territorial Expansion
The next third wave of sand pirate attacks was still not very difficult, and it was easily repulsed.
At this point, Lin Yuan suddenly realized that in fact, the sand thief lair generated near his territory was actually a gift package given to him by the Chaos Base as a guardian lord, as long as the sand thief leader was defeated, the next thing would be smooth sailing.
Therefore, even if the gray crane caravan did not come this time, then Lin Yuan's territory should know about it soon.
And as long as this battle is won, it will be enough to lay the foundation for the nascent guardian lord.
However, it will never be so easy to come across such a wonderful and simple good thing again in the future.
"Di, Night's Watchman, as the F-level guardian lord of the guardian faction, you have successfully captured this oasis and the area related to the oasis, and your territory has increased by 4,000 square meters of green space, 1,000 square meters of wetlands, 500 square meters of spring lakes, 3,000 square meters of Gobi wasteland, a level 1 copper mine, a level 1 stone mine, and a 1,000 square meters of poplar forest."
"Di, Night's Watchman, you have successfully defeated the virus sand thieves entrenched around your territory Bluebeard, your territory has successfully broken through 20,000 square meters, and has a certain strength, the guardian camp is very satisfied with this, from this moment on, every other month, the guardian camp will issue you a daily task to chase down the virus sand pirates, and you, as the owner of the only oasis water source in this area, can also go outside your territory anytime, anywhere, to chase down virus sand thieves, virus horse thieves, etc., good luck."
……
With these two pieces of information, Lin Yuan felt a flower in front of him. There was about three seconds of blank time for him to open his eyes again. He was surprised to find this oasis at his feet. It has been successfully incorporated into his territorial space.
At this time, his territory was indeed doubled, and the specific shape was still rectangular, 200 meters long and about 100 meters wide.
It's just that in all directions, it's still nothingness.
"Welcome back, night watchman, it looks like you've had a good harvest. However, this is not a time to celebrate, all the data of this expedition has been compiled by me, do you need me to report to you in detail? ”
At this time, Xiao A's voice sounded as always, without warning, but Lin Yuan had already begun to get used to it.
"Of course."
"Very good, we borrowed a total of 15,000 points of Chaos Rule energy on this expedition. At present, the spoils of war have been repaid, and the soldiers of our territory, a total of 86 people, have been killed in battle. There are 36 people left, and the war gain is 17923 Chaos Rule energy. The proceeds of the loot amounted to 121 pieces of coarse bread. 23 pieces of cheese, 5 bags of potatoes. 5 bags of cabbage, 3 bags of apples, 15 kg of bacon, 25 coarse herbal powders, 5 fine herbal powders, a magic potion that instantly restores 50 health points (about 2 active cell reserves), 5 bantam hunting horses, 57 sets of broken half-body leather armor, 45 broken leather helmets, 35 iron knives with gaps, 6 broken hunting bows, 12 feather arrows, and in addition, I won't talk about the new territories we obtained, the above are our gains. ”
After listening to Xiao A's specific report, Lin Yuan's eyes were also full of light, and he really made a fortune, you know, before starting the war, his hands were bare, and he had nothing, although he lost 50 soldiers this time, most of them were new recruits, and he could continue to recruit.
Next, Lin Yuan calculated the remaining experience points in his hand, a total of 13,245 points, at this time, he naturally couldn't use it on himself, or he had to continue to recruit soldiers, and make proper preparations for the invasion of the virus legion in three days.
And this time, Lin Yuan no longer recruited indiscriminately, but gave priority to recruiting infantry, because he saw in the battle that defensive warfare and positional warfare were the most suitable for infantry, and they were also easy to upgrade, after all, he now had four top-level infantry, and it was easier to train.
As for the numbers, he recruited 50 light infantry in one fell swoop, then 10 more hunters, and 20 pikemen.
These recruits don't cost much, but the XP required to level them up is a lot of pain, so you really have to be careful!
Of the 50 light infantry, Lin Yuan only planned to upgrade 10 to shield-wielding light infantry first, and the remaining 40 would be automatically upgraded to shield-wielding light infantry under three days of training, which was equivalent to saving him 3,600 experience points.
The 10 shield-wielding light infantry continued to be promoted to shield-wielding assault infantry, which cost 4,500 experience points.
Then, Lin Yuan upgraded six heavy shield armor infantry from it, which was another 5,400 experience points.
Eventually, he upgraded a Lion Shield Guard. Consumes 2,700 XP.
At this point, the infantry has been upgraded, and after three days, he will have one Saarion Praetorian Guard, four Lion Heavy Shield Guards, five Heavy Shield Armor Infantry, four Shield Assault Infantry, and 40 Shield Light Infantry, which should be a very strong force, at least, in a defensive battle, it should be able to deal with more than 150 sand pirates.
Of course, this can only be the limit of what Lin Yuan can do now, no matter how much he wants to upgrade, he has no experience points at all.
With a strong class, you also need sophisticated armor and weapons, even ordinary infantry, but the four lion heavy shield guards and five heavy shield armored infantry must be equipped with sophisticated equipment.
It's a pity that there is no blacksmith in Lin Yuan's territory, otherwise, the five broken iron armors in his hand can save him a lot of money.
But now, Lin Yuan could only find the Gray Crane Caravan again, and after some bargaining, the Gray Crane Caravan agreed that it was willing to buy the equipment of the four lion heavy shield guards for Lin Yuan at a price of 20% in their name.
This kind of cost is inevitable and cannot be avoided, Lin Yuan does not want that in the upcoming invasion battle, the strongest infantry under his command will die due to insufficient equipment.
So this time, Lin Yuan also asked Xiao A to sell most of the loot, and even the stone square that was preparing to build a warehouse was also sold, which was enough to gather 25,000 points of chaos rule energy.
When the Gray Crane Caravan opened the weapon shop of the guardian camp, Lin Yuan was extremely excited to find it, and under the blow of those high prices, he finally finalized a set of equipment that was quite cost-effective, all-steel half-body armor, quenched iron helmet, all-steel heavy shield, and all-steel mace.
The price of one set is 10,000 points of chaos rule energy, but fortunately, there is a 20% discount for the gray crane caravan, and in the end, Lin Yuan's four lion heavy shield guards have finally changed their outfits. (To be continued......)
