In the evening, Li Xi was lying in the courtyard with nothing to do, enjoying the tranquility of the moment in the bright moonlight. This is also the most relaxed time for Li Xi in a month, continuous high-intensity labor, even after the transformation Li Xi is tired enough. A full 600 acres of land occupies most of the village's labor, and only after continuous reclamation and cultivation can the set goal be accomplished.

In order to treat everyone, Li Xi held a party in the square, of course, it was not a noble dinner, but a group of people eating, drinking, and bragging. Looking at the people who had drunk too much, Li Xi didn't bother to care about them, and returned to his yard with a pot of wheat wine, thinking about his future plans.

The open-pit iron ore found was mined half a month ago, and the quality is indeed very average, and the iron tools smelted can only be used as agricultural tools and household utensils. In addition, there were not enough blacksmiths and skills to craft weapons and armor, but fortunately a lot of fur from hunting remained, so the army of 40 men was replaced with leather coats and hats. In fact, it would be best if it could be made into leather armor, but unfortunately the level is still limited, and the leather is not very good, so I can only give up for the time being. However, the weapons of the javelinmen are sufficient, 5 one-meter-two wooden iron-headed javelins, equipped with a short blade, and the small round shield that can only cover the crotch has also been replaced, there is nothing else in the dense forest, except that wood is wood, and a batch of high-quality wooden shields can be made by tossing casually. In short, the 40-person squad is a shotgun change, but the actual combat power is still urgent, I don't expect you to throw 20 meters, at least more than 10 meters, but what the hell is your 6 to 7 meter range?

In a fit of rage, Li Xi scolded and chattered with a group of peasants, and instructed Patos to train them to the death! All along, the lack of long-range firepower has always given Li Xi a strong sense of crisis, look at the spear militia and you will understand, do you expect them to resist head-on? Even if there are 10 elite guards, but it is not invincible, who knows how many troops the opponent has, a division and encirclement, 10 people will not be able to save him, how can he care about the rest.

As a last resort, Li Xi could only bring in Orion to fill the number, of course, he was not a professional soldier, at least a group of archers. Usually hunting, night drills, although the strength is still urgent, but the range has been qualitatively improved, the average can reach 30 meters.

Class: Archer Militia (Level 1, Ranged Class)

Size: 10 (squad)

Strength: Black Iron One Star

Experience: Civilian

Morale: Low

Discipline: None

Training: None

Life: Weak

Endurance: Poor

In this way, the two teams were assembled, so that Li Xi instantly had a triple compound strike tactic of near, medium and long. (The mob uncle came to report!) looked at the army in leather clothes and leather pants in a water!Hmm! The army of 10,000 years before history has been assembled!

Just when Li Xi was bored, the prompt sound of the system was as intoxicating as heavenly. In view of the fact that the host trained the army for the first time, completed the long-range strike defect, and completed one of the novice tasks, 50 ploughing cattle are hereby rewarded, the population is 100 people, the system energy is restored by 3%, and the transportation is completed in 5 days.

It's really a lack of something, next month will be fought again, although there are iron tools, but the lack of manpower and animal help, the efficiency is still too low, and now with this reward, the pressure can be relieved a lot.

Recalling the joy of completing the task, Li Ximei poured a sip of wine, it turned out that many tasks are not prompted, and only after doing something can they be triggered, and then get the reward of the system. Judging from the information disclosed in the first novice mission, it seems that Li Xi needs to complete urgently at present, such as the recruitment of ranged troops, filling the gap in the army, and successfully getting the reward. Can the creation of armor and weapons and the continued cultivation of land also trigger rewards?

Do it! Do it immediately! For the sake of reward, the head can be thrown and the blood can be shed! There is no difficulty to defeat it! It is necessary to continue to cultivate, and building weapons and armor is also the next focus, and as soon as the rest is over in the past two days, it is necessary to arrange things. For the sake of population and food, Li Xi is also heartbroken, and now that he has an opportunity, how can he not firmly seize it.

Alas, it's a pity that there are no other human beings around, otherwise how much food, materials, and people can be exchanged for more than 1,000 gold coins on this account! Forget it, wait until the autumn harvest ends the distribution system, and then buy the villagers' grain, so that the villagers will have money to trade. Otherwise, I don't know when this duck egg will be placed!

But why is there no one here? After so many days, all around is barren, and the dark land seems to have been burned, and it has completely lost its value. Even the river not far from the iron mine is stagnant and lifeless. Luckily, a small lake is located in the northeast of the village, otherwise drinking water would have been a big problem. Maybe my sense of crisis is caused by this strange land, it's too apocalyptic and desolate. The devil knows when he wakes up and the world changes. And the rat people and cavemen mentioned by the system! I'm really curious! I don't know if I can subdue them, the lack of labor is too serious. Slowly, Li Xi fell asleep in this cranky thought. Gradually, the noisy night became quieter.

Standing on the deserted beach where he had just landed, Li Xi looked up at the shore in the distance, expecting the reward. The surrounding guards all looked around vigilantly, protecting the life of the Governor. It's a pity that the two spear militiamen who came with them were not very dedicated. Li Xi didn't bother to pay attention to them, he was already thankful for being able to maintain the formation, but he didn't dare to ask for anything else.

The rising sunrise illuminated the black spots on the sea, and looking at the slowly approaching sailboat, Li Xi immediately gave an order: "Go and pick up the boat! It's not very easy to land here!" For a while, 20 militiamen ran to the shallows, tossing for a long time, all the rewards were transported, looking at the 50 sturdy bull heads and 100 villagers, Li Xi suddenly smiled, there are people for reclamation, there are people for mining, you see how white the sky is! How blue the sea is! Life is so beautiful!

New villagers gradually filled the empty village, huts were erected quickly, and in the evening everyone held an evening party to welcome the new arrivals, but Li Xi did not participate at this time, because the patrolling militia reported an important message.

"You said you found a suspicious figure near the iron mine, are you sure it's someone?" asked Li Xi nervously.

"Your Excellency Governor, Little. Villain.. Still.. But it was a group of suspicious people who were found. Looking at Li Xi's bounced figure, the militia was suddenly startled and replied with some stammering.

"Let's talk about the point, how do you look? Is it a human?" This question has been bothering Li Xi for a long time, and the unknown will make people fearful, although he usually laughs and laughs, but when it comes to life, Li Xi will not be careless.

Judging from the results of the soldier's report, it should not be human, it is too short, and it looks a bit like a mouse. Looking at the frightened militiaman, Patos had no choice but to answer for him.

Li Xi frowned and thought quietly. Are we friends or foes? Have we just discovered our traces, or have we been secretly spying for many days? Now iron ore is the most important thing, the construction of farm tools, tools, and iron ore reserves are all necessary needs in the future, so there must be no accidents!

After figuring it out, Li Xi said in a deep voice: "Captain Patos, starting tomorrow, a group of javelin militia, a spear militia, and a bow militia will be stationed in the iron mine, fence the iron mine, and build a small camp!"

"But Lord Governor, the iron mine is more than 10 kilometers away from us, and it takes two hours to walk normally, and the rapid march can be much faster, but with our combat strength, it will be useless to run there! Once the iron mine is surrounded, it will be completely dead! Besides, we don't know the number of enemy troops and their strength, and the defense of the village cannot be ignored!" Although he also knows the importance of iron ore, but to split the military strength, which is not large in number and not strong in strength, may end up taking care of one and losing the other, and the two ends are not pleased.

At this moment, Li Xi hesitated, the village is the foundation of everything, not to mention the fields outside the village, this is the hope of the future, in order to keep the farmland, it is inevitable to go out of the village to fight, only half of the troops can be done! After thinking about it, Li Xi still has no way, at this moment Li Xi is a little depressed, the first tactical arrangement in his life is so stillborn. What else is there to fight for such virtue? What are you fighting for?

"Your Excellency the Governor, no one is born a general, everyone has to go through trade-offs, and learn from them to strengthen themselves. In the same way, not everything has the best of both worlds, what we have to do is to get the most out of the minimum loss. Perhaps feeling something, Patos's words brought Li Xi to his senses.

Yes, I am not a soldier, nor is I an all-round protagonist, I can learn without experience! With the help of the system, it is already my greatest confidence!

Li Xi, who was firm again, made a decision in an instant: "Take back all the people in the iron mine, and then arrange for people to make a fence in the farmland outside the village, I remember that there are still a lot of spears, wooden shields and leather clothes in stock, and four squads of javelinmen are being formed! Increase the patrol range, and the lakes in the northeast must be sent more manpower! That is much more important than the iron mine!"

"Yes, my Governor!" looked at Patos who was leading the order, Li Xi relaxed and muttered: "Wait for Lao Tzu! This is called a strategic retreat! I will take it back one day!"
