Chapter 21: At night, Colby is injured
"Luna, you have to work hard for a while longer."
"These farmers need protection. Please patrol the area where they collect outside the small courtyard."
Zong Shen ordered Luna.
"As you command, my lord!"
Luna didn't complain at all, put a fist on her chest and saluted Zong Shen.
Riding a black panther, he slowly walked out of the small courtyard.
Today’s task is to build more than six [level 1 grass sheds] before nightfall.
The straw shed is not only used as a rest building, but also as a basic building that can restore health points.
It has a great effect.
As for the basic barracks, there is no rush yet.
Because Zong Shen's farmer population is not large.
With the Wolf Cavalry and Night Huntress plus himself, it is enough to meet the combat needs in the early stages of development.
Zong Shen was not going to be idle at this time. He took out an iron ax with his hand and walked out of the small courtyard quickly.
Outside the yard, Goudan's [1st-level thatched shed] has been built.
It happened that there were still 10 wood reserves left in the territory, so Zong Shen placed another [Level 1 Grass Shed] next to Goudan.
Patted him on the shoulder.
"Keep working, Goudan, I'm optimistic about you!"
Goudan's face fell instantly, but he couldn't show his displeasure in front of Zong Shen, so he could only force out a smile.
Turn around and go to the shadow of the straw shed, and continue to beat.
It's just that the smile he left behind, no matter how you look at it, has the word "hard work" written on it.
Zong Shen didn't care, he just nodded slightly.
These buildings can be placed at will now, but when the territory expands and the city walls are built, careful planning and preparation will be needed.
Lord permissions can be migrated with one click without spending additional resources, but it does require new people to spend time building.
This is not a matter of urgency.
The construction of several buildings instantly filled up the open space adjacent to the small courtyard.
It looks like it finally has a bit of a territorial feel.
Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the tree closest to him.
Pick up the ax and start chopping down the end of the tree!
Perhaps because of his higher strength, he didn't find it too strenuous. He only needed to slash a tree as thick as a thigh five or six times to completely cut off its car.
Then you only need to drag the tree for a short distance, and you can smoothly drag it into the courtyard for transformation.
[Wood +4]
As soon as the trees enter the courtyard, they are converted into wood and automatically enter the territory storage box.
The actual amount of trees and other collected resources that can be converted is also related to the amount of collection.
For example, the thigh-thick tree that Zong Shen dragged back can be converted into 4 pieces of wood.
The trees that farmers haul back are as thick as an arm can usually only be converted into 2 pieces of wood.
Zong Shen's overall efficiency is equivalent to the collection volume of four farmers at the same time.
The attribute of strength does have a very obvious effect.
At least Zong Shen didn't feel the load was too heavy when he was working.
"continue!"
He twisted his neck and walked out of the territory again.
The target is those trees as thick as your thighs!
He was very efficient, with barely any stops and strokes.
Such an exemplary performance made the farmers speed up a bit.
In this busy atmosphere, an hour and a half passed.
As night falls, the orange-red sunset rays of light fill the western sky.
"It's getting dark soon. Bring back the resources you have and call it a day!"
Zong Shen dragged back the last tree.
Standing outside the small courtyard, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted to the farmers.
"Long live the lord!"
"The lord is mighty!"
The farmers cheered and returned to the small yard with the collected wood.
The harvest of this wave of collective labor is not small.
During this period, Zong Shen built two more [first-level thatched sheds], and now there are still 33 timber reserves left.
In just one and a half hours, he and other farmers collected 53 pieces of wood.
Among them, his efficiency alone is equivalent to that of four or five farmers.
However, Zong Shen also felt a little tired after working hard for so long.
All buildings have been completed.
Six huts can accommodate 12 farmers.
As for Colby and Luna, including Zong Shen himself, as the force responsible for the territory, they also need to undertake sentry duties at night.
"It's time to cook."
"But why hasn't Colby come back yet?"
Zong Shen walked to the stove, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
Start cooking.
Because of lack of seasoning and ingredients.
He could only make grilled wolf meat based on the only ingredients he had.
【Grilled wolf meat】
[Requirements: wood x 1, wolf meat x 1]
[Production time: 3m]
In one breath, ten pieces of wolf meat and ten pieces of wood were submitted and production began.
He decided to wait another half hour.
If the food was finished half an hour later, but Colby hadn't returned yet, he would send Luna out to look for it.
In the sky, the last bit of glow disappeared.
As night falls, the sky is filled with stars, and a silver-white crescent moon hangs high above the head.
Night seemed to be Luna's home court.
She just needs to stand still.
You can be in an almost invisible state.
She is difficult to spot with the naked eye.
This is the innate ability of the night elves, hiding!
It's really strong!
"Ouch~"
Suddenly, a melodious wolf howl came.
"Ouch..."
"Ouch...ow..."
Then, one after another howls of wolves came from all directions in the pasture.
The grassland was dark under the night.
It's like a huge mouth of the abyss, capable of swallowing everything.
"Roar!"
"Ouch!"
"boom!"
After the wolf howled, another roar of wild beasts came.
These howls and roars echoed in the night sky, and the specific location was impossible to distinguish.
All the farmers showed horrified expressions and gathered together in unison.
Zong Shen and Luna both looked outside intently.
They all felt that there were many hidden prying eyes around the territory.
At this time, a huge figure slowly passed through the night.
Two eyes reflecting blue light in the dark night appeared in front of everyone.
Luna had already tightened her grip on the moon blade.
Zong Shen also took out a sharp Germanic sword.
Stand ready!
The figure's speed was not slow, equivalent to an old traveling horse running at full speed, so it quickly reached the edge of the territory.
In Zong Shen's field of vision, a name suddenly appeared above the black shadow.
[Wolf Rider Colby]
Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said to Luna.
"Relax, keep to yourself."
The next moment, Colby, riding a giant wolf, arrived outside the courtyard.
Gradually slowing down, he came to Zong Shen, rolled over from the back of the giant wolf, and knelt down on one knee facing Zong Shen.
"Lord, Colby is back!"
Zong Shen looked at Colby and Giant Wolf, his eyes narrowed slightly.
There was a sharp arrow stuck in Colby's shoulder, and there were scars from the knife on his right hand, dripping with blood!
Fortunately, the bleeding from the wound had stopped and condensed into a scab.
Colby was actually injured!
