Chapter 8 Upgrading and Enemy Attack
Time passes...like water.
Just in the blink of an eye, the time has reached the tenth day.
What did he do during the eight days?
All the mud walls and buildings had been built that day. Because there was enough work time, he also raised the mud wall to two and a half meters and built six platforms to station primitive spearmen on to avoid monsters coming over the wall. Fifty percent of the spearmen were assigned by him to assist in the work. The capacity given by the system was a false proposition. As long as more people were invested, the resources produced would continue to increase, but the diminishing marginal effect was severe.
He made a spear for himself. As a lord, he cannot live without his own self-defense weapon. Although there is a high probability that he will not be needed to fight, it is still very interesting to play with the spear.
He was not idle during these eight days. He suffered the disadvantage of being an otaku and his strength was still very weak after time travel. He asked Changheng for advice on how to train himself. The eight days of training only improved his strength slightly. The improvement was about four. A kilometer in a minute becomes a kilometer in three minutes and thirty seconds.
A good body is the capital of revolution.
There are currently two logging camps, a collection station, and a mining farm working in the territory.
Two medium-sized woods, one medium-sized berry bush, and a small mineral belt.
A total of one hundred and fifty people were put into production.
The remaining 50% were divided into two teams. Each team of twenty-five people was assigned by him to explore the wider world outside and see if they could pick up some scattered resources outside. Why twenty-five people? The farther away from the territory, the higher the level of monsters and resource points will appear.
Beyond an era at most, twenty-five spearmen can ensure that they can escape unscathed under all circumstances.
These two teams brought him quite a few surprises. The gold they picked up alone was enough for Ji Lin to upgrade his capital. With the 102 points of gold mined from the mining site, there was hope that he could build more buildings.
The domestication progress of the hunting spiders just reached 100% yesterday, and the friendliness caused by the same behavior will gradually decrease. However, with Ji Linli's huge investment in food, the neutral hunting spiders transformed into a green friendly state.
【Hunter's Nest】
[Development]: Ranch
【ability】:
Active Defense: The Hunting Spider will actively attack any enemy that steps into the protective range.
Sufficient food: Hunting spiders have a small chance of secondary development.
Scout Hunting Spider Cultivation (requires ranch to unlock)
Silk Spider Cultivation (requires ranch to unlock)
[Introduction]: Hiss - sizzle, you can try to touch them.
The number of hunter spiders has also returned to eighty, and many new little hunter spiders have been added to the hunter spider nest. These fist-sized little hunter spiders still need several molts to grow into the size of a large hunter spider.
As for recruiting scout hunting spiders and silk-producing spiders, Ji Lin still needs to obtain the ranch blueprint for targeted cultivation.
He couldn't find any wild wolves or dogs to use as his scouting post, so it would be good to find some big spiders.
It's a bit ugly, but its combat effectiveness and mobility are sufficient.
The system’s enemy attack notification is never late
‘All lords, please announce that the enemy attack is about to arrive, it is over. ’
The huge font disappeared, and the bright red countdown began to beat.
'3:00:00'
Three hours.
Ji Lin gathered all the primitive spearmen and asked all the villagers to arm themselves. It didn't mean much to say they were armed. He just used some large rocks and wooden sticks to see if there were any enemies attacking from other directions. Mud wall for blocking.
The spearmen did not stick to the doorway left by the mud wall, but retreated a little space, surrounding the small opening in a small semi-circle at the back, preparing to attack the incoming enemy, maximizing the Make use of output space.
With thirty people in one ring and three arc-shaped spear formations, it was enough to contain any incoming enemy.
‘Resource reserves detected are sufficient to increase the era. ’
‘Whether to merge enemy attacks to improve the era. ’
'Please note that combined enemy attacks will be judged against a higher base. ’
Merging enemy attacks was the real reason why he fought two waves a day.
This will be regarded as a wave of enemy attacks that can only get some barely satisfactory ordinary rewards, resources and ordinary blueprints from the system, but after the two waves of enemy attacks are merged into one wave, his base judgment value will be pulled up. Previous section.
If the normal enemy attack and the upgraded enemy attack are both 1, then the two-in-one difficulty will never be a simple 1+1. According to the Lanchester equation, when the combat effectiveness of both sides is close, the increase in military strength will cause The increase in combat effectiveness will be exponential.
The Lanchester equation proves that under the same combat effectiveness and combat conditions, 1,000 versus 2,000 people fight. After several rounds of fighting. A side of 2,000 people can annihilate a team of 1,000 people with only 268 casualties.
Then the difficulty caused by the double enemy attack will be directly added to the final reward.
He could feel that the system encouraged this behavior.
Ji Lin doesn't care, it's enough that he can get more resources.
He was fully prepared.
"Merge enemy attacks."
‘The merger is complete, good luck to you, lord. ’
[Town Center - Dark Ages]
[Requirements for upgrading to the next era: 1000 units of food, 400 wood, 400 stone, 100 gold, 100 iron]
Ji Lin pressed the Era Boost button, and a large portion of the energy in the warehouse disappeared.
‘It has been detected that you are ready. Do you want to start the test immediately? ’
Systematic and considerate inquiries.
Ji Lin smiled.
"confirm."
‘Confirmation completed, one lord in the territory, a total of one has confirmed to start the enemy attack in advance. ’
‘This round of test: Goblin x250 Gray Wolf x60’
‘Turn on. ’
The 250 units of Goblins should be his test for upgrading, and the 60 units of Gray Wolves are the wave of enemy attacks he will face today. The two combined...
As the horn sounded, a green line appeared on the distant horizon from Ji Lin's perspective. It looked like a pile of tall grass moving, and the green was deep. The goblin, who had a huge head that was not suitable for his body, had two pointed ears. He was only half the height of a normal human being, and he was holding a sharp stone knife that he didn't know how to sharpen.
Goblin swarm.
[Name]: Little Goblin
[Type]: Goblin - Dark Age
[Armor Strength]: 0
[Melee Defense]: 25
[Weapon power]: 3
【characteristic】:
Cannon Fodder: The collapse and death of this unit will not reduce the morale of other units.
Low leadership: The unit has extremely low leadership and is prone to retreat (note that waves of enemy attacks will not retreat, and the weakening of morale will directly lead to a significant reduction in combat effectiveness)
[Introduction]: Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh!
How should I put it, he finally met his new friend: Goblin, whose weapon power was inferior to that of a hunting spider, had almost no melee defense, and had a body with no armor strength at all.
Even their characteristics were only cannon fodder and poor leadership. The two hundred and fifty goblins had no characteristics except that they were numerous and had simple stone weapons.
If this wave of enemies were coming from a group of undead skeletons, he would still be afraid of them. After all, those things have built-in physical resistance.
Not to mention two hundred and fifty goblins, even four hundred goblins couldn't break through this door today.
The only targets that need attention are the 60 gray wolves.
The two-and-a-half-meter-high vertical mud wall can barely block it, and even a few of our own villagers who climb in can be beaten to death.
"Chang Heng, you have an order. You find a roof to stand on and guard the other sections of the mud wall. If there are gray wolves that climb over the wall and come in, you lead the villagers to kill these things!"
"Let me take command from the front."
Ji Lin gave orders to the centurion standing next to him. He was still not reassured. He didn't know if the two-meter-five-meter mud wall could block these gray wolves.
He stood on a high platform, which was a temporary wooden watchtower, only three meters high.
There will definitely be no problem in blocking the goblins.
"Take orders."
Ji Lin glanced at him and saw that Chang Heng was already patrolling along the mud wall with a spear on his back.
Different generals have their own civilization styles...
The rat people he led in his previous life felt that all clans were not much different.
The battle is about to begin.
Ji Lin's eyes fell on the green waves coming in like clumps of tall grass, he squeezed a handful of sweat from his palms and shouted.
"Ready to fight!"
Even though everything was ready, he still felt that he should make more preparations.
The town center behind him was covered with a light-colored sheen, as if disintegrating in the light.
