my fortress

Chapter 34 Fierce Neighbors

The same thing is happening in several other places.

As the initiator of this incident, the protagonist Yifei is currently lying on a rattan chair on the rooftop of the fortress, staring straight at the empty front, letting others see , I thought he suddenly became stupid.

It's awesome, it's awesome, a tasteless official position has allowed me to get such great benefits!Yifei, who was in a daze at this moment, was in an unusually turbulent mood.

After waking up, the system upgrade has been completed. Although the limit on the number of buildings and the number of soldiers has not increased, the map of the system has increased.

The previous map, which was only a few kilometers in size, has now become a huge map with mountains, trees, rivers, basins, and canyons.

Looking at the map in the game, he had a general understanding through the comparison between virtual and reality. The area shown on the map should be the area under the jurisdiction of his official position.

He slowly moved the map to check it. This kind of high-definition map similar to a BUG made him observe things from the perspective of God. He could see clearly all the visible places on the map. Even the expressions on their faces can be clearly seen.

On the map, he found that there are indeed many barbarians living in the Khajid Mountains. There are large and small villages scattered throughout the Khajid Mountains. Each village is very large. In the smallest village, a level 1 armored warrior is several Hundred.

Yes, it is a level 1 armored warrior. This is a new change of the map after the system update. It can gamify the strength of the enemies on the map.

In other words, as long as he moves his mind, the system can change the appearance of the enemy on the map to the appearance in the game, so that he can clearly distinguish the strength of the enemy.

Of course, the system also kindly reminded that this change is for reference only, and we will not be responsible for any mistakes.

For such irresponsible prompts from the system, Yifei can only secretly raise his middle finger to express his deep contempt, which is too embarrassing for the system flow. Isn't the system flow always famous for its precision and omnipotence?

Even so, he still likes this change very much. After knowing that among the barbarian villages, the lowest village has hundreds of armored warriors, which is equivalent to the strength of the Arab swordsmen recruited from the mercenary camp, he knows why. The barbarians will be so awesome - when they are in a good mood, they will kill others, and when they are in a bad mood, they will rebel.

The reason is that the strength is too strong, hundreds of thousands of level 1 Arab swordsmen, plus millions of archers, plus densely packed recruits, anyone who encounters them will collapse.

At the same time, he also discovered the army of orcs secretly stationed in the Khajid Mountains. The dense red dots on the map represented hostility. After he observed it carefully, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Thousands of first-class crusader swordsmen (heavy armored minotaurs), hundreds of Templars (orc generals), thousands of crossbowmen (centaur archers), tens of thousands of archers (lizard archers) and thousands of Qingqi (wolf cavalry wearing leather armor), if all these orcs attacked last time, I am afraid his life will be lost.

Looking at the two forces on the map, he realized that the location of his castle was very bad, and there were too many bad neighbors around.

After seeing the strength of the barbarians and orcs on the map, the sense of comfort in his heart suddenly disappeared. How can he enjoy life in such an environment? Maybe one day when he wakes up, the enemy will surround him completely. At that time, even if you want to escape, you will not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, he was overwhelmed with a sense of crisis, and even more hated the families that prevented him from obtaining the title. If it weren't for those guys with sores on their faces who blocked him behind, maybe he could gain more strength.

At this time, a good thing finally happened, just as he muttered in his heart, he who had the protagonist template was finally favored by God.

On the second day after the system was upgraded, the army of orcs stationed in the Khajid Mountains moved. Watching them disappear from the map one by one, his tense heart was finally relieved.

In the Khajid Mountains, the barbarians are stronger than the orcs, but their color on the map is neutral, as long as he doesn't mess with them, nothing will happen at all.

But the orcs are different, he just ruined the good things of the orcs, if the orcs want to come to revenge, he doesn't even have the power to fight back.

After watching the butcher's knife hanging above his head leave, he finally settled down to strengthen his own strength.

Since the number of soldiers in the system is limited, let's develop some peripheral forces and try to find more cannon fodder.So he looked carefully on the map, and finally locked the only small neutral human villages in the territory, and planned to incorporate them into his sphere of influence.

So he took the initiative to number the selected villages, from 1 to 5. At the same time, using the official position he had just acquired, he sent his light cavalry and cavalry archers to deliver them to them without any communication. letter of appointment.

Its purpose is to cast a wide net to catch more fish, and if you catch one, you will get one.

As for whether they accept it or not, it's very simple, just look at the system. If the color on the map changes, everything will be fine;

Fortunately, the five neutral villages all accepted his offer, which made him feel a little happier.

50 cannon fodder for one village, 250 cannon fodder for five villages, not bad, he calculated in his mind while looking at the changes on the map.

As for those remunerations in his mind, they are nothing at all. Now he is rich and powerful (there is no such thing as silver coins in the system, and all the gold coins that pass through his hands) don't care at all.

According to the map, except for a few armed men in those villages who have the strength of crusader swordsmen, the rest are basically as strong as armed peasants. It is really cost-effective to pay 2 gold coins every month.

Spending a little money can not only increase your own strength, but also improve your safety factor. Where can you find such a good thing.

At the same time, as a modern person, he doesn't understand the sense of aristocratic glory that people in this world care about at all. He doesn't know what aristocratic glory is, and he doesn't pay much attention to the ring inscribed with the wolf's head pattern on his hand.

However, after many years of Internet influence, he also knows that everything should be published in accordance with the rules, which means orthodox, so the signal that fell into his hands representing the wild wolf family became his most convenient seal.

Whenever he makes any announcements or concludes any deals with others, he will stamp a wolf-headed label when signing in writing, representing that the agreement is legal and valid.

And he who cares more about integrity (when it is beneficial to him), not only did not violate the agreement when he presented these announcements or completed these transactions, but he did better than the agreement. (In fact, when dealing with those people, relying on some content I saw on the Internet before, I used a little bit of modern commercial promotion methods, such as the behavior of buying as much as a gift.)
This blind cat met a dead mouse, and his unintentional behavior gained him a good reputation. Any business or family that has dealt with the wolf leader knows that the lord of the wolf leader is a very honest and forthright person .

After having such a reputation, more firms came to the Wild Wolf Territory, requesting to do business with it.

With sufficient gold coins and a tight sense of crisis, he continued to expand the size of the city. In just one month, his castle was expanded again, from three walls to four walls.The number of tower crossbows and trebuchets in the castle has doubled.

At this time, he found that because of the insufficient number of soldiers, his castle could no longer be expanded, and further expansion would not be conducive to defense.

Because this is different from the game, the enemy cannot enter the city until the city wall is destroyed.This is the real world, and enemies can climb walls.

So he came up with a new idea, which was to build some small forts outside the city to increase the defense capabilities of the area under his jurisdiction.

For a man who cherishes his own life very much, with this decision, he immediately started the action, directly opened the map and moved to the location of No. 1 village.

In Village No. 1, put a small fortress, surrounded by a square wall, open two gates at the front and back, place a medium-sized tower at each of the four corners, add two tower crossbows, and a fire-throwing platform.

In the blink of an eye, a small castle appeared on the map. Seeing the display on the map, Yifei was very satisfied, haha, if every village was built with such a castle, it would be too safe.

Thinking of this, he became even more interested, and directly moved the map to the location of village No. 2.

"Drip, the host's glory value is not enough, the construction cannot be completed!"

Just when he was in high spirits, a dialog box popped up in the virtual frame in front of him.

Not enough honor points?Why do buildings have honor values?Looking at the dialog box in front of him, he froze for a moment.

Suddenly his expression changed, and he opened the lord bar in the interface directly.

Host, prestige value 15634, territory population 4087, knight title, glory value 2, professional low-level knight, official consul, number of buildings constructed is 100/100, number of recruited soldiers is 480/500, number of hired soldiers is 255.

Damn, the honor value has changed from more than 900 to two. Looking at the value displayed on the interface, his whole body is about to collapse.

It turned out that he was only a few honors away from being promoted to an intermediate knight, but now he has returned to a state of abject poverty.

Let me go, I said why the system buildings can be built in neutral villages, it turns out that honor points are needed.Yifei thought for a while, and suddenly understood why his honor value disappeared.

Because at this time he was staring very carefully at the building pulled out on the map, the iron mine in the red state showed that it could not be built, but the data behind it clearly told him how his honor points were consumed .

Scribe: To build an iron mine in a non-territorial area requires 50 wood and 50 honor points.

Honor, honor, I want honor!Looking at the system prompt, Yifei couldn't help howling in his heart.
