Also out of prudence, in the face of this LV6 tidal ripper, Hu Siming once again chose to recruit the militia.

Because there was a five-minute interval between each call to battle, the four peasants who had just been mobilized could not participate in the battle for the time being. Fortunately, he also has three newly trained Terran farmers. Although this will interrupt the harvesting process of timber resources, there are still four farmers who are constantly collecting crystal ore.

As resources accumulated, Hu Siming began to urgently train new farmers to cope with the shortage of manpower.

The successive calls of peasants will have a severe impact on the development and construction of the outpost. But with these militias on board, it will be much easier for Hu Simin to deal with the tidal rippers. The total health of the three militias adds up to over 700 points. Even if it was a hard-fought blood exchange, Hu Siming would be able to consume this tidal ripper. What's more, the skill of tearing wounds is more special, and it belongs to the buff type that increases damage, rather than instantaneous damage.

This feature makes Hu Siming's plan to use the militia to cheat skills feasible.

Under his control, the militia at the front withstood the skills of the Tidal Rippers and then immediately retreated. In this way, the Tide Ripper is equivalent to missing one skill out of thin air, and its combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. Even if it didn't want to chase after it, Hu Siming could immediately go up and stop its movements.

In such an unhurried battle, the Tide Ripper's HP steadily decreased.

As the battle continued, new peasants were trained out of the town halls. Hu Siming has realized that continuing to rely on peasants turned militias to assist in the fight will delay the pace of development. He must build his own defenses before more monsters attack. Judging from the options offered by the town hall, Hu Siming currently has two options: the first is to build a barracks to train soldiers to assist in battle, and the second is to build a defensive tower.

The two options have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The former is more costly, and it takes a lot of resources to train a decent soldier. Moreover, the town hall can only train the lowest-level troops, and you must wait until you upgrade to the main city before you can train the middle and high-level troops. Even ordinary people understand that low-level troops must be cannon fodder-level storage, and the training is not particularly useful, and can only be used for transition. However, the advantage of this is that it cannot be moved after it is built like a defense tower, and it can be pulled out to fight at any time.

As for the construction of defense towers, the cost performance is undoubtedly higher.

In defensive battles of positions, towers are much more useful than low-level units. Even if it is beaten to the verge of collapse, it can be repaired quickly by farmers. Soldiers are different, if they are disabled, they are very slow to regenerate health on their own. If you want to fight continuously, you must give them expensive healing potions.

Of course, the disadvantage of towers is that they can only defend their homes.

Which one should I choose?

If there is not much pressure in the early stage, Hu Siming will focus on mobility, take the initiative with the trained troops, and sweep away the demonic beasts on the island one by one. But as soon as the town hall was put down, the base had already been attacked by two waves of demonic beasts one after another. As you can imagine, the difficulty of this rehearsal battle will be quite high. With ordinary soldiers alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the continuous attack.

In this case, it is self-evident which option to choose.

Hu Siming quickly perfected the strategy of this rehearsal battle on the basis of the second plan. That is, in the early stage, the construction of defensive towers was the mainstay, supplemented by a small number of soldiers, to fight defensive battles. Collect resources and economy and go all out to climb technology. After upgrading to the main city, concentrate resources on the riot army, create a middle and high-level troops, and complete the counterattack in one fell swoop!

After thinking about it in my heart, there seems to be nothing wrong with this plan.

Therefore, Hu Siming immediately ordered the newly trained peasants to build a defensive tower on the outside of the base.

In this rehearsal, there are two types of towers available on the battlefield. One is the primary defensive arrow tower that Hu Siming is most familiar with, and the other is the mysterious tower that he has never heard of. Judging from the attribute description, the base attack power of the Mystic Tower is very low, but the attack has a special effect of magic response, just like the anti-mage's orb, which can burn the enemy's mana and deal extra damage. That is, this is a tower that is especially useful for mage units, summon units.

As for the construction price, it is exactly the same.

Hu Siming thought about it and felt that it was better to focus on defending the arrow tower at this stage. After all, in the early stage, the Warcraft encountered did not have a lot of skills, and the main thing was physical damage.

After a brief lull, the Terran peasants repaired the base of the tower. Under the help of the construction skills given to him by the rules of the Academy, the defensive arrow tower began to take shape little by little, and the durability also increased rapidly, and finally stopped at 600/600 points.

From the topography alone, the best place to build the tower is on two downhill passes leading to the inner side of the island. These two passages were the only attack routes for the demonic beasts on the island, and the width at the narrowest point was less than twenty meters. Holding here, the condescending attack of the arrow tower can exert a great suppressive effect. However, Hu Siming doesn't have that much economy now, and he is not sure which side the next wave of Warcraft attacks will come from, so he can only improve the defense next to the base first, and then gradually expand.

A few minutes later, the base's first defensive arrow tower was completed.

【Primary Defense Tower】

Attack damage 28-37, attack radius 700, durability 600/600, enhanced armor 5.

Note: You can upgrade to a medium defensive arrow tower, which requires the main city.

With such a tall defense tower guarding, Hu Siming felt a lot more sense of security. By this time, the number of his Terran peasants had reached ten. Five of them are mining at full efficiency and the other five are harvesting timber resources. For now, the number of farmers is roughly enough. Hu Siming thought about it and began to send farmers to build more buildings.

One arrow tower is obviously not enough, and Hu Siming's plan is to pull up at least three or four defense towers near the base. Once the arrow towers are connected, you can quickly kill a monster in seconds, and the power will be multiplied.

In addition, the Barracks and the Lumberyard need to be put on the agenda.

The former does not need to be explained, it is to train various conventional troops.

The Lumberyard acts a bit like a town hall, effectively converting wood into a war resource. The building is mainly built next to the bushes that can be harvested, which can avoid the need for farmers to travel back and forth, and greatly speed up the efficiency of harvesting. In addition, the lumber yard can upgrade harvesting technology, allowing farmers to cut wood faster. After all, training soldiers and upgrading the main city requires a lot of wood resources.

As far as Hu Siming's own visual speed is concerned, if the logging technology is not upgraded, there will be a huge deviation between the accumulation rate of crystal ore and the accumulation of wood, and Yan zhòng will slow down the overall progress.

There is also a must-have functional building, and that is the farm!

This humble structure, like the moon wells on the Radiant Heights in the compulsory course, may seem insignificant, but it is the key to providing population support and allowing the barracks to send troops. Without them, the soldiers trained in the barracks will soon lose their support and disappear again into mere energy and laws. At this stage, Hu Siming has 12 people, all of which are provided by the town hall. However, the number of farmers alone has already taken up 10 of the population. If you don't expand your farm, you won't be able to train your soldiers, even if you build a barracks.

"It's a bit of a hassle......"

There are many buildings to be built, but the resources are limited, so you can only choose to come one by one. How to optimize the construction sequence made Hu Siming wonder. Compared to these, the tactical and lineup selection in the compulsory courses seems to be easier.

However, before he could save up enough resources for the next building, the battlefield suddenly gave a cold hint.

Cadet Chen Dongqing was defeated!

All three peasants were killed, the town hall that had been placed was destroyed by monsters, and the completion rate of the battle was only 1%, which was Chen Dongqing's embarrassing record. Although he escaped with his blood, it was impossible to continue to complete the battlefield judgment, so he was eliminated directly.

As a result, he became the first person out of the twenty students after the class!
