The infinite evolution of the system

The working residents were somewhat surprised when they saw the lord. In their memory, this was the first time the lord visited the castle, and he didn’t usually have a chance to look at the lord. This time, it was really different, at least in the eyes of the working residents. What Xing saw was awe and strangeness, so he straightened his waist even more, and Anna Villaris followed behind him step by step, doing enough ostentation, and she also knew how much this first time was for Zhou Xing. It is important to establish prestige and leave a majestic first impression. These are all crucial to the rule of a lord. Even if Zhou Xing knows that there is a system, the residents will generally not betray him. This has laid the initial foundation for himself, but It's just the foundation, and the next thing to do is to rely on yourself, further prestige, further solid foundation, not only for the residents to know that they have a lord, but also to let them know that the lord is not just a title or a name, but also a lord. A kind of reverence and obedience from the heart.

Zhou Xing had wandered around the castle before, but it was not a tour. There was a difference between the two. Wandering was more about understanding the layout of the castle. At that time, the castle was first built, and even the core of the first-level building was a straw shed. It no longer looks like a castle. It is said to be a village, or a poor village with just over a hundred people. If Zhou Xing had done so-called inspections at that time, he would not have achieved much effect. He could only wait until now, when his life has stabilized. , the inspection will have momentum.

Every time you go to a place, there will be fully armed soldiers coming out from everywhere. This is the most powerful weapon in the castle at present. Although it is not powerful, it is enough to protect the current castle. Zhou Xing and Anna Wei It can be said that Larys has given a lot of hard work, and these people will also be the backbone of the first-level figures in the future. You only need to increase the manpower on this basis, and there is no need to reorganize. It is easier to increase the combat power. Come out now Most of the fighters can be continuously upgraded. Even if Anna Villaris takes people out to fight every day, no one has reached the full level. Even the captain Anna Villaris has not reached the full level. Xingyi researched and found that the experience of these fighters increased geometrically as they advanced to the next level, especially when they reached the fourth level, the amount of experience required was still astronomical. Seriously despised the system once.

Sure enough, there is no bargain in this world. The fighters who fight all day have not upgraded for a long time, and the replacement of equipment cannot be done overnight. Zhou Xing can use the equipment he got for them to wear, but Zhou Xing really does not have that extra Trading points, even Anna Villaris can't make up a suit of armor, let alone other people, the system is extremely stingy, and it doesn't give much consumable items. Also, Zhou Xing never only expects Just give something. I never dared to expect to get anything extra. The pirates of the Caribbean came back and got a lot, but they really didn’t get much equipment. Some garbage is not very useful to the soldiers. It’s better to sell it for a trade. The points are very useful, at least they are used, and the better ones are needed by Zhou Xing himself. The ones he replaces are given priority to Anna Villaris, and how many of them fall on ordinary fighters?

In the past, Zhou Xing thought that as long as the fighter was upgraded to the full level, the added attributes would reach [-]% of the initial value, and the armor manufactured by the castle's own technological research would be enough to cope with the current situation, but it turned out that his thinking was too simple , how could the system make him, the lord, comfortable?The level of the core building has increased, and the strength and number of monsters spawned in the forest have also increased linearly. Even though Anna Villaris tried her best to encircle and clean them up all day long, when Zhou Xing stood on the road leading directly to the forest from the castle, He still heard the roar of monsters during the day.

"We are changing every day, but those demons are also changing every day. I don't know why there are so many monsters in that forest. They are endless and can't be killed." Anna Villaris stood by Zhou Xing. Beside them, behind them are more than a dozen warriors, all in full armor, holding sharp knives, and very few warriors who are particularly strong are holding heavy shields, like a moving fortress, they are very calm and calm, standing in place, as if No other things can be seen in the line of sight, no other voices can be heard, standing quietly, giving people quite a shocking visual impact.

Anna Villaris continued with a sad face, "I suspect that there is a source of darkness in that forest. As long as the source of darkness still exists, dark creatures will be transported from unknown spaces anytime and anywhere, never stopping. Count Dracula wanted to make such a thing, and he almost succeeded. At that time, we were lucky to escape, but it seems that we are not so lucky now."

Zhou Xing smiled wryly, and did not say clearly that this was a trick of the system. Maybe there really was a so-called source of darkness, but it was definitely a concentration point of monsters refreshed by the system. The destruction of the source of darkness is only to destroy one refresh point, and the system can completely refresh a second, third, or even higher-level refresh point.

Zhou Xing sighed, he suddenly understood a little bit, maybe he should go into the forest to find the source of darkness, even if the refresh point is not called the source of darkness, he must destroy it, otherwise, Zhou Xing dare not imagine, the source of darkness Will it become a big rock that crushes the castle in the end?Even if the system will refresh the source of darkness, this thing has to be done, just like knowing that after a full meal, you will still be hungry. There are some things that must be done, and must be done as soon as possible!
The lord's inspection ended with Zhou Xing's satisfied smile. In fact, there was nothing to see. It didn't make much difference to the lower-level residents whether he was a lord or not. They only needed a lord when they encountered monsters attacking the city. The leader led the soldiers to kill monsters and protect their homes. Usually, the lives of the lords are quite far away from them, so it is impossible to talk about any additional discoveries. Zhou Xing went around and the biggest discovery was That is, my hope castle is still too weak, and I urgently need powerful weapons. Moreover, it seems that there are monsters spawned in the forest again. One night is just a dream time for Zhou Xing, but for the system, maybe Groups of monsters were spawned in the forest. These monsters used to just wander around in disorder, and they didn't mean to gather at all, let alone powerful monsters taking the lead. However, now Zhou Xing clearly heard the roar of the monsters. In my impression, monsters don't scream for no reason during the day. They can't just scream to scare the residents. The only function is that some powerful leader-level monster has appeared and is calling the younger brother.

This is the most preliminary trend of leadership. I believe that in just a short while, the monsters scattered around will spontaneously gather around a relatively powerful monster with basic leadership abilities. Residents are in groups of three or five, and they can always be dealt with with weapons, but monsters appear in groups, and ordinary residents have no choice. There is danger, and only Anna Villaris can fight with someone.

"I don't know if there is a source of darkness, but that forest is indeed full of darkness, and it is the birth point of dark creatures. We can't do anything when we don't have strong strength. We can only stay here to accumulate strength. As long as we Keeping the speed of development, we can achieve the expected combat effectiveness, and we can consider the idea of ​​entering the forest, now." Zhou Xing sighed, already felt the pain, and looked at the road leading to the forest from the castle gate: "Assemble the manpower Well, there are new troubles coming out, we should take the initiative to attack as soon as possible, we can't wait, the free darkness is gathering in groups, if we can't kill it in the cradle, it will definitely cover the earth with darkness!"

Anna Villaris was obviously confused by Zhou Xing's words. It seemed that in her imagination, Zhou Xing had no ink in his stomach, and now she was surprised to find that the man who fell from the sky was not bad. In other words, it is absolutely no problem to fool the residents in the castle to fight, but it is not difficult to incite the morale of the army!

The lord spoke, and the people below naturally acted. They have dealt with dark creatures all year round. The soldiers also knew what it was like to hear monsters roaring during the day. They ran back immediately. Anyway, they worked every day before, and the accumulated food was not wasted. They were all dried, pickled and stored. They could not be turned into gold coins in time, but they could temporarily guarantee that there would be no shortage of food. There is no problem at all if you don't go up the mountain. It is serious to avoid the gathering of dark creatures. God knows if the number of monsters reaching a certain range will come to attack the city again?
Whether it is the lord or the warrior captain, they have repeatedly warned them: when in danger, you don’t need to go all out, run back, as long as you return to the castle, you will survive. You have the most powerful and fearless warriors to protect you and protect your homeland!

Therefore, the residents implemented this point very well. When the sun rose, the castle opened, and the residents got busy. When the morning fog cleared, the roar of the monster came, and the castle gathered its hands in the shortest time and closed the gate. At the gate, the residents did not sit idle, they quickly entered a state of combat readiness, and those who could help always had their own things to do, carrying combat equipment, bows and arrows, stones, logs, swords and even a large crossbow, It is a defensive weapon newly refreshed by the castle after the core building is upgraded. It can move, control the air, and has considerable damage. It is expensive, consumes a lot of resources, and is cumbersome to operate. Even if you don't need to learn the specified basic skills, you still need to Ten people plus sufficient proficiency can guarantee the firing frequency and accuracy of the large crossbow.

But that's it, the crossbow is still Zhou Xing's bottom of the box. Seeing that the monsters are spawning intensively, it is likely to reach the dangerous limit today to trigger a siege battle. The bottom of the box will also usher in the first trial. No matter what, Battles will definitely happen. Zhou Xing is willing that monsters attack the city when he is around, and he is not willing to happen at other times. At least when he is around, he can use his own way to avoid unnecessary losses, even if he does not need any instructions He came to send it out in person. This lord is also capable of fighting. One is as good as a team of ordinary soldiers. Zhou Xing knows something called morale. When they turned their heads occasionally, they always saw the lord, which boosted morale beyond words. If the lord was willing to participate in the battle in person, the soldiers would never have the idea of ​​retreating. Leading by example is the simplest, most dangerous and stupidest way This way, if you take a considerable degree of danger, you can naturally get a considerable return. Needless to say, gathering the army's morale can boost morale and exert [-]% of the combat effectiveness.

"The roar of this monster." With a sad face, Anna Villaris stood on the city wall with Zhou Xing, her eyes fell on the seemingly distant forest. Although she only saw the rolling waves of the forest, she knew that the dense forest Beneath the green is the darkness that the sun cannot dispel. Now, this darkness that can devour everything has once again accumulated strength, and their homeland bears the brunt of it. If they can't block the darkness, they will disappear in the darkness without leaving a trace.

"Yes, it seems that many dark creatures appeared overnight, and now they are different from before, stronger and more ferocious, and most importantly, they may have one or even two lord-level monsters, The hordes are coming in groups, we can only stay in the castle, we can only defend, otherwise without the help of defensive weapons, without the buffer of the city wall, we can't stop it at all, unfortunately, unfortunately, the time is still too short, we The walls of the city, our soldiers, and our weapons have not met the expected standards, and I hope the monsters will not be too powerful." Zhou Xing also had an ugly face, and no one wanted to lead soldiers to fight after just patrolling.

The residents in the castle showed good qualities, and quickly finished their preparations amidst the shouts of the soldiers. This is also the quality that must be cultivated in living in this environment. Those who have no combat effectiveness contribute to the logistics, and those who have combat effectiveness, even if they are Holding a kitchen knife, he also stood beside the soldiers. Defense must be easier than offense. However, after the castle developed, the length of a circle of city walls was not short. Zhou Xing was not sure how many monsters would attack, nor did he know which direction they would come from. Come on, for the time being, we can only stand on the city wall. One is to guard, the other is to assist, and we are always ready. After all, the number of soldiers is relatively small. Even if the combat effectiveness of the residents is low, they cannot be underestimated strength.

The waiting time was not long, and soon, the branches and leaves on the border of the forest shook, and amidst the weird creaking sounds, a big tree fell down, leaving a relatively empty ground. The ugly big feet fell heavily, breaking the grass and turning the shadows of the mottled trees into pieces of light.

Goblins!

Lots of goblins!It's just a small amount of effort, holding a rough axe, and the short men with thick muscles and thick muscles crowded the sight. Unlike usual, after they appeared, they didn't act indiscriminately, although they stood there impatiently and growled. Unceasingly, but still standing obediently, as if waiting for something, until the nearby big trees collapsed one by one, more and more dwarves appeared concentratedly, with gray skin and red eyeballs, forming a terrifying scene. The picture is like the worst nightmare.

Zhou Xing squinted his eyes to look, his heart skipped a few beats, and he murmured inwardly. With just one glance, he saw several tall and strong guys in the dwarf group. But it has developed to the point where eyelids are jumping. The nearly square body is wrapped in a level of armor that is better than ordinary dwarves, plus a big ax that looks like it weighs dozens of kilograms, which is powerful and powerful.

"Elite monster?"

No one answered Zhou Xing, and Zhou Xing didn't expect anyone to answer him, but he still glanced around. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that this time the monsters were definitely not just the ones in front of him, at least it couldn't be just a species of dwarf .It didn't take long, and Zhou Xing was not disappointed. Sure enough, there was movement again from the side of the castle, and there were waves of hair-raising wolves howling one after another. When they were not close to the castle, they were very quiet, but as long as they found out that it was useless to hide their tracks At that time, he immediately let go of the restrictions and used the howl of wolves to start the foreshadowing before the battle. I have to say that this sudden move has achieved good results. The residents in the castle quickly panicked. The instinctive fear is not so easy to ignore Yes, soldiers can resist fear with a strong will, but residents who are not serious about fighting can't do it. Even the howling of ordinary beasts can be frightening, not to mention the howling of dark creatures. Creepy, chills down the spine.

"Don't panic, don't be afraid, we can use our own weapons and strength to protect our homeland, so what about monsters? Kill them all!" Zhou Xing made his voice at the right time, he knew how important a leader is at this time, a warrior Although they are determined, their number is too small. In the ever-expanding battle, if the number of people does not keep up, their role will drop a lot. At this time, the relatively large number of residents becomes indispensable. Combat strength, with them, as long as everyone contributes more, the pressure on the soldiers can be reduced a lot, and the pressure on the castle can be reduced, and Zhou Xing is sure that since the number of monsters in this wave is large, individuals will not be able to fight. It will be too strong. The ordinary weapons of the residents are enough to cause lethal effects. There is no shortage of combat supplies in the castle. There are stones, logs, and even saltpeter. These things can only be regarded as ordinary, but they are enough for the same ordinary monsters. If someone uses it, its power will still work. If the residents are frightened by howling wolves before they start fighting, or even pee their pants in fright, turn around and run away in fright, the resistance of the castle will definitely plummet, and it may even cause a chain reaction. The defensive battle that could have been defended failed due to this unexpected factor, and the consequences of failure were so serious that Zhou Xing couldn't bear it, so he could only try his best to play the role of his lord.

"Don't forget, we have high walls, we have weapons, we have soldiers, and we still have more." Zhou Xing took a deep breath and raised his voice sharply: "We still have confidence!" As he said, he waved the pain in his hand, The unique shape of the scimitar immediately lit up, and the shining skill light attracted the attention of many residents. These ordinary residents, who had never seen such an operation, were immediately stunned. If they were not sure that their lord was not a monster, They're bound to be yelling.

You know, this kind of god-like power can only be seen in monsters, and now the lord has also mastered it?Doesn't that mean that the lord will have other powers?Can you keep the castle safe and repel the forces that kill the dark creatures?

Sometimes, hope does not need too much foreshadowing and manifestation, it just needs to give a little light in a desperate situation, just like the sun hanging in the sky, you can't touch it, you can't catch it, as long as you can see it, it can give people full This is a scam, but it is so useful that Zhou Xing almost believed his trick, swung the scimitar outward, and shouted: "All the darkness that invades will dissipate!"

"All will dissipate!" Anna Villaris then shouted loudly, and then the soldiers standing on the city wall who were preparing to fight shouted loudly. At first glance, they were full of power.

This scene is very effective. The slightly flustered residents regained their composure. The unified calm mood of too many people can quickly eliminate panic in a short time. As long as this mood is stabilized, it is not difficult to persevere in the battle. Once the fighting confidence is regained , even farmers who only wield a hoe to dig grass and catch insects can roar and shout, wishing to hammer their chests and roar like jungle gorillas. They will not allow the homeland they have built with great difficulty to disappear so easily, yes, they It's not that they have nothing, and it's not that they are unarmed. On the contrary, they have combat weapons in their hands, around them, under their feet, and even in most places in their sight. The wise Anna Villaris and the wise lord have been ready for battle long before , They seem to know that there will be a battle coming, so they turned all the remaining materials into combat power that can be used immediately. The only blacksmith shop in the castle hardly rests. The blacksmith who was the same as the bull did not come out, but just hid in the house and worked hard.But no one expressed any opinion on this, the lord ordered so, and now they also know how important iron weapons are, how important fine iron is, as long as everyone has a weapon that can cut off the necks of dark creatures With sharp blades, even ordinary residents can burst out with quite good potential when they are cornered. You must know that if you don’t work hard, you will die. You can survive by working hard. Never underestimate the oppression of death, and don’t underestimate people’s explosive power !
The monsters successfully gathered together. Although no leader-level monsters have been seen so far, the monsters that seem to have been summoned by a unified group have already completed their assembly, standing far away on the edge of the forest and waiting until there are no new monsters. join in.They have already reached this point, and the siege of the city is naturally what should happen. Otherwise, it is really unreasonable to come here to show their faces after such a big battle.

The attack came naturally. When the sun climbed above the head, the wolves moved first. The giant wolves, polluted by the dark force, had a strong body, and their limbs were so sharp and strong that they were deformed. Every time they trampled on the ground, there was a sound like a horseshoe landing. , running wildly together, the momentum is still amazing, once the wolves move, the dwarves who are a few beats behind also start to move, they are much worse than wolves, creatures like wolves are born to act together, although they are Animals on all fours know how to use the power of a group better. Although the dwarves look like primates, they seem to be less intelligent than giant wolves. They obviously gather together and act at the same time, but when they move When they got up, the formation immediately became chaotic, and some dwarves yelled syllables that only they could understand and ran very fast, wielding an ax and desperately tossing their short legs. It looked a little ridiculous, but they moved really fast , and some dwarves were stunned for a moment, and when they waved their axes and called to charge, the previous batch of dwarves had already distanced themselves from them, and those who fell behind were the strongest elites. Monsters, their extraordinarily strong body shape did not give them the matching speed, and a better armor was naturally heavier. In addition, they seemed to have more wisdom, so they deliberately slowed down, so they fell behind.

"Leave the main direction of the dwarves' attack to the residents. Just leave a few soldiers to look after them. The residents are the main force of the battle. Anna Villaris, you take people with me to the direction of the giant wolf's attack. Only by blocking the giant wolf can we block it." The most ferocious charge of a dark creature!" Zhou Xing still has this basic sense of judgment. The advantages and disadvantages of dwarves and giant wolves are obvious. The stupid method is to destroy the city wall before it can threaten the residents on the city wall. The dwarves lack long-range attack capabilities and only have the advantage of being extremely powerful. The so-called rough skin and simple armor play a role in this kind of siege battle It is very limited. You must know that the stones that the residents move up the city wall need five or six people to carry them at the same time. Each of them starts with at least a hundred kilograms. There is no shortage of stones in the mountains. Zhou Xing ordered the conscious collection of these resources earlier. Hoarding, supporting a battle is not a problem at all, and hundreds of catties of stones fall from a height, not to mention that the dwarves are just wearing armor, even if they put themselves in an iron can, they will be smashed together with the can .

It can be said that before the dwarves toppled the city wall, the residents could even achieve zero casualties during the guarding process.
