No Attacking Recklessly (Continued)
Ye Qian covered her mouth and laughed.
"Damn, Xiao Qian is so cute, I can't look anymore, or I'll fall for her." The man patted his chest hard, trying to distract himself.
The contrast between a strong girl and a delicate young woman is quite endearing.
After the battle, Ye Qian prepared to return.
In the homeland, a Cannon Fodder Misses begins recruiting a new army.
At that moment, Chen Ning, who was leading his team back from another direction, saw Cannon Fodder Misses standing there.
"Who are you..."
"My leader invited this partner." Miss Cannon Fodder No. 36 with long purple hair, turned around and said.
"Partner?"
Although it was a little strange that Ye Qian had found this pretty girl, Chen Ning didn't say anything.
However, a few minutes later, when he opened the upgraded home interface, he saw something that surprised him.
The five new girls, who were directly under Ye Qian's command, were all at the Black Iron Rank.
"Where did all these uniformly beautiful girls come from?" He frowned slightly.
Although I don't quite understand the reason, it's ultimately on our side, so it's a good thing.
Now there are expensive Berserker that cost as much as 2,000 silver coins each, but Chen Ning's mood is not very good.
After all, they already know what kind of opponents the players will face.
"According to Ye Qian, she will soon be preparing to lead her elite troops across the forest to develop the Main Continent."
In other words, we can't simply fight against the large number of ordinary people here.
An ordinary person would only get 1 point for killing 100 people.
The inefficiency is one issue, but another is that I also have to interfere with the other participants.
As she was thinking this, Ye Qian had already returned with the main force.
"Where's the pool?"
"A pool? Oh, you mean the place where the Water of Purification is stored?" Chen Ning understood and immediately pointed to a huge building in the distance.
Ye Qian immediately ran over, and when she entered, she found that it was indeed very large.
"Is this a swimming pool?"
With an overpopulated territory, water supply has always been a problem.
In fact, a large number of drainage ditches have been built to discharge sewage, and special pipelines have been constructed to transport clean water.
The pool in front of us has a lid-like structure next to it. The inside can be opened up or divided into sections, and it seems to be a place for storing drinking water.
Ye Qian glanced back and saw that Chen Ning had followed her. She immediately pointed into the distance and said, "Close the door and get out. I'm going to take a bath."
Chen Ning scratched his head, nodded, and closed the door.
An image of Ye Qian undressing flashed through his mind inexplicably. He shook his head, thought of his family, and silently berated himself for his sins.
Ye Qian took off her clothes and went barefoot into the water.
[Purification in progress...]
"Such a big pool, I wonder how long it will take."
The Purification speed is limited; even a small pool of water like the one before takes several seconds to purify.
With her entire leg submerged, Ye Qian jumped forward and immediately entered swimming mode.
After splashing around for a while, when I returned to the water's edge, the water had already been Purification.
She opened her mouth and took a sip herself.
"It tastes sweet; the Water of Purification definitely tastes better than the regular water."
He took out a bath towel that had been prepared beforehand, dried himself off, changed his clothes, and went out. Chen Ning immediately brought a group of workers over to prepare to connect the pipes.
Ye Qian shrugged at these guys and opened the interface.
"That's about enough, let's give the players some perks."
Bite!
To strengthen their forces and target the Gnoll, all lords will receive a Fund Accumulation buff.
[Every day at 12 PM, killing a single regular monster will grant an extra 3 Copper Coin, and killing a single Gnoll will grant an extra 10 Copper Coin.]
"We can't kill the Gnoll, but there are still a lot of ordinary wild monsters. They've managed to hold out until now, so they're not too difficult to defeat."
Ye Qian had a general idea of the enemy information the players were encountering at this point.
Due to the two large-scale battles, the Gnoll seem to be in some chaos at this moment.
While scouting for the enemy, the archer squads she sent out discovered that several nearby Gnoll had chosen to retreat.
There are no signs yet of a large army being assembled to start a war here.
"If the Gnoll were to fight us now without any regard for the consequences, we would definitely lose. But they chose to retreat and avoid direct confrontation."
Ye Qian could only say that these reckless creatures were terrified of humans. For the sake of their species' survival, they began to repeatedly avoid humans.
"Once the new army is replenished, let's fight another battle and open up a safe passage to the north of the forest," Ye Qian muttered to herself.
"How about this?" Unexpectedly, Chen Ning heard her idea and spoke up, "Since we already have railway tracks, let's lay several more, all the way north, and then build some territorial stations along the way, send troops to garrison them, and have the troops patrol regularly. If any Gnoll try to attack, we can concentrate our forces to fight them. Our legion is recruited, while the Gnoll are naturally multiplied; they can't outlast us."
"You're right, railway tracks are indeed a good thing." Ye Qian laughed.
Once the metal freight trucks are put on the tracks, they can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour, allowing them to travel to the other side of the forest in just over ten hours.
The troops recruited here can be quickly sent to the front lines.
"Let's lay the first one going there, and then prepare the one coming back."
Ye Qian began mobilizing the farmers.
Money is not a problem. After the war with the Gnoll, the army has been replenished to its original size and has even earned an extra 500 silver coins.
That's like getting 500 Spearman for free.
However, this money won't be spent on recruitment; instead, it will be used to acquire more iron ore, smelt it, and build rails. If resources are insufficient, they can be purchased directly or obtained more quickly from other players through the system.
To ensure the efficiency of this project, a total of 3,000 workers began their work.
One hundred metal freight cars helped transport these workers so they could reach their destination as quickly as possible and build the tracks.
At this speed, 60 kilometers of one-way railway track were laid in just 5 hours.
During this time, Chen Ning also led his army into the forest, covering more than 80 kilometers, and found a Gnoll tribe of 500 people, which they wiped out.
After the battle, his troops unexpectedly encountered a player team of several hundred people.
Perhaps seeing that he had few soldiers and had just been through a battle, the player named "Give Me Gold Finger" launched a direct attack on him.
Both sides automatically entered the Dream Realm Battlefield (Illusion Dream Space).
In fact, the so-called Dream Realm battlefield is simply two commanders dreaming at the same time, and then fighting each other with their respective armies in the dream, with the battlefield environment being the same as in reality.
Without realizing the strength of the opponent, the one Give Me Gold Finger immediately ordered his 600-plus soldiers to launch an attack.
"Good heavens, this is courting death."
Once you win, you get all of your opponent's points; that's the rule of the event.
To launch such a battle requires 10 silver coins.
For players, the cost is relatively high, but compared to the rewards of winning, this expense is nothing.
It's obvious that the other side has the same idea.
Chen Ning glanced at the number of troops on the other side; they were more numerous than his own, and all of them were at level 10 or higher.
"No wonder they're so confident, even recruiting 20 elite Fierce Dog? Heh."
The army here consists of archers and Spearman.
No cavalry were brought.
The opponent was also clever. During the attack, he had his specially reinforced Javelin Thrower charge forward under a hail of arrows and directly hurled javelins, breaking down the spear formation.
"Superior."
Give Me Gold Finger the instructions with a serious expression.
The army took the initiative and launched an attack.
Unexpectedly, the arrows from the other side had extremely strong penetrating power, directly breaking through the armor of his army and killing them in large numbers.
"Holy crap."
We've faced arrows from other races before, but the casualties were always low. We've never seen anything this fierce.
Before the Javelin Thrower had gone very far, hundreds of them had already fallen.
The enemy's 300 archers are still firing.
He was so frightened that he rushed forward, and then the other troops also charged forward, only to be met with the enemy's gunfire.
The two sides immediately engaged in close combat, and in less than ten minutes, not a single soldier on my Give Me Gold Finger was left.
[The battle is over. You have lost.]
You will pay 234 points to the Xiao Qian Legion.
Upon seeing the words "Xiao Qian Legion," he froze for a moment, then finally coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Qian?"
I never expected this. In my mind, Xiao Qian should be a girl, and shouldn't the army be fighting the main force of the Gnoll dozens of kilometers away?
Who knew it would be a man?
Exiting the Illusion Dream Space, the scene remains the same, but the previously dead army has returned to normal.
He immediately regretted it.
It's all my fault for not reading carefully.
The system was only indicating the difference in troop strength between the two sides, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Chen Ning walked over with a smile on his face.
"Brother, you didn't kill enough Gnoll. You only got 200 points and killed 200 gnolls."
Give Me Gold Finger: "..."
Chen Ning walked up and patted him on the shoulder. "It's a good thing the event provided this dream space. If it were like before, where you could fight directly in reality, you would be dead by now."
Call Me Gold Finger's eyelid twitched, and he said awkwardly, "How could I possibly intervene in reality?"
"Alright, go and develop your business obediently."
Chen Ning gave a cold laugh, turned around and left.
"Call."
After seeing the other person leave, the guy Call Me Gold Finger wiped away his cold sweat.
"The Xiao Qian Army is really terrifying. These archers... could they all be elites?"
I checked the battlefield logs.
There are lines of information about the Dream Battlefield above:
Your "Standard Javelin Thrower" was killed by the enemy's "Elite Magic-Equipped Archer".
Your "Standard Javelin Thrower" was killed by the enemy's "Elite Magic-Equipped Archer".
Scrolling down, I finally saw the notification that my own soldiers had killed the enemy Spearman.
"As expected, this is an elite unit."
His face turned green.
