Chapter 13 Demonstration and Departure
The dark crowd stopped, not because they wanted to, but because of the rows of sharp spears hanging in front of them.
Years of wandering life made them very clear that facing fully armed soldiers, the status of hundreds of them was not as good as hundreds of pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
The crowd was in turmoil, and they were intimidated by the soldiers and did not move forward.
"Let your leader come to see you."
Ji Lin looked at the hungry people, his face showed reluctance, and his heart was already full of joy.
After waiting for so long, someone finally came.
The crowd broke out into a greater riot, and then an old man was pushed out of the crowd and walked tremblingly in front of the spearmen.
The longer the old man lived, the more prestigious he was. Ordinary young people could hardly survive the famine, and the old people who survived were all smart people.
"Respected... respected... Lord, I wonder if there is room in the village..."
The old man in the lead racked his brains to tell all the humility and respect he knew.
Ji Lin directly checked his attributes.
[Li Lilang]
[Affairs Officer (Level 2)]
[Features]: War-torn (Loyalty +10)
Although the level has reached Level 2, the characteristics are too poor. It is too difficult to train him as a deputy. He only has a war-torn characteristic. The little loyalty he gives is useless. If you don't do too much, these people will not rebel. They are pure blank hero units.
However, since he is an affairs officer, he can be arranged to act as an agent in the town center.
When he goes out, he will bring his heavy weight with him, so that the house will not be idle without anyone.
Good thing.
"Chong, take them in and settle them down. Let them eat the default food gel first. I'm afraid they can't stand eating cooked food directly."
"Benefactor, you are our benefactor!"
Li Xiaolang's knees softened, and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Ji Lin. From their perspective, they met a good landlord who was willing to accept hundreds of refugees like them, and not only was he willing to accept them, but also arranged food and accommodation for them.
"Don't kneel, stand up, you, don't kneel either."
Ji Lin's eyes twitched twice, and he scolded Li Xiaolang who wanted to kneel down, and the group of refugees behind him who followed suit.
"Whoever kneels will not eat tonight!"
The refugees immediately stopped their actions in fear of the threat. Ji Lin asked Chong to complete the next steps and went to deal with other things first.
This first wave of population supply is much more spiritual than the initial population, just like the difference between a blank board and a paper full of writing. The emotions of those refugees are too strong, so strong that he is shocked.
This spirituality is not necessarily a good thing.
It is always easier to paint on a blank paper than on a paper full of writing, not to mention that there will always be a lot of bad things associated with emotions.
In the previous life, he chose the rat people because he could not get along with others. In the previous life, he was an expedition pioneer because he did not like to contact humans. Those rat people were more loyal to him.
He thought so, but he had to accept this group of people. After accepting this group of people, the proportion of his soldiers in the total population suddenly changed from 50% to 16%.
Although it is still very unhealthy, it has reduced too much in terms of operational pressure.
The work efficiency of soldiers is not as good as that of specialized farmers. After the emergence of various specialized units, blacksmiths and priests, the efficiency of soldiers is even worse.
Compared with the annoying population problem, the spearmen he sent out for scouts brought him rare good news, allowing him to temporarily stop thinking about how to govern these overly spiritual people in the future.
They found a new medium-sized mineral vein.
It was a bit far from the town, about 5 kilometers away. While it was still dark, Ji Lin planned to go there to check out what monsters he needed to deal with.
[Resources]: Mixed gold and iron vein (rich ore) - medium-sized
[Reserves]: Stone: 1000 Iron ore: 2000 Gold: 2000
[Production]: 50 stones/day, 12 gold ore/day, 12 iron ore/day
[Development]: Mining field
[Capacity]: 50 people
[Introduction]: A mixed mineral vein composed of gold and iron ore, with a large amount of stone.
The description of the mineral vein is very beautiful, but the garrison is not so beautiful.
Looking at the group of skeleton soldiers roaming around the mine, which were composed entirely of white bones and holding a variety of weapons, he would like to call it a haunted gold mine.
[Name]: Skeleton Warrior
[Type]: Undead - Classical Age
[Quantity]: 160
[Armor Strength]: 5
[Melee Defense]: 25
[Weapon Power]: 10
[Organization]: 30
[Ability]:
Cause Fear: This unit causes fear to all enemy units and non-same friendly units around it, causing them to be punished by Organization.
Undead: Will not leave the battle due to morale loss, but will continue to be hurt when the organization is low.
[Introduction]: The life that should have died is driven by magic to walk again in the world. It cannot be said to be a model worker, but at least it is dedicated to the work.
Although Skeletons have no armor and cannot dodge, they still have 5 points of armor strength and up to 40 points of dodge. This has always been an unsolved mystery until a clever person pointed out: "Look at the many gaps on the Skeletons. Wouldn't it be impossible to cause any damage if you poke them with ordinary cold weapons?"
Dodge (passive).
Although this is a joke, it is recognized that skeleton soldiers are difficult to fight. Common cold weapons such as guns, swords and halberds cannot deal with these skeletons very well. Only blunt weapons can cause more effective damage. When facing other monsters, the killing effect of blunt weapons is not as good as that of guns, swords and halberds. Many people will not make large quantities of blunt weapons to equip the troops to fight against simple skeletons.
Long-range attacks are not very effective at breaking bones.
They will not stop because of the stopping force of ordinary chopping, unless the strength is enough to directly chop its bones into pieces.
If you chop it, it can chop you.
Break a few bones and it will come up and chop you. The gain is not worth the loss.
꾨It counteracts the piercing attack of spearmen.
One hundred and ten skeleton warriors are difficult to solve using conventional thinking.
The solution is also very simple, just use a trap.
In the past life, many people were bound by the thinking in the game and believed that combat was a F2A confrontation between arms. Without exception, they would only learn to make progress after suffering huge losses in future battles.
After Ji Lin confirmed the nearby terrain, he mobilized fifty villagers and started digging a pit on the spot, digging a pit that was thirty meters long, half a meter wide and two meters deep. Later, he put wood in it, lit a fire, and left Let the flames do the rest for you.
All he needs to pay is the loss of resources caused by transferring villagers.
After he occupied this mineral vein, he quickly made up for it.
Skeleton warriors do not have the intelligence or flexibility of gray wolves and spider-hunting beasts. They are essentially a group of semi-automatic puppets, walking blankly into the pit without command.
He still had to do this kind of operation in person. If it was controlled by remote control, there would be a scene where the infantry foolishly rushed up to fight the skeleton warriors and suffered heavy losses.
Being more familiar with the unit can also be considered his first-mover advantage.
This is the wisdom gained by the blood of our predecessors.
Seeing the skeleton army crumbling in the fire, Ji Lin picked up a spear and smashed the struggling skulls into pieces.
In the past, he might still be afraid of these skeletons, but now he just feels that these skeletons are too hard.
He thought a lot, so he decided to bring the hundreds of people over to watch their extermination operations.
What did he want to do... Ji Lin didn't know very well directly, but he felt that it would be better for him to show the power of the army.
The best way to facilitate subsequent management is to demonstrate and be kind.
Just as he thought, those people watched in fear as the incoming skeleton warriors fell into the fire pit. The few skeleton warriors who avoided it could not withstand the thrusts of dozens of spears.
A beautiful fight.
No. 100 had already eaten and drank enough, and the hungry people who had taken a bath, no, now the villagers under his rule were arranged to observe here on the small hills in the distance.
놇After exterminating the group of skeletons, Ji Lin took photos of the mining site and then withdrew his troops.
‘You show them an extraterritorial threat, stability +10. ’
Deterrence, threat?
It's just that at this time, Ji Lin didn't understand that the fastest way to unite the people was to create a foreign enemy to make them understand that there was an approaching threat, but the result was similar to 늅깊.
Before leaving, he assigned Li 괗lang to the management position of 누깊's administrative office. 누깊 Li 괗lang thanked him in every possible way and said he would never let him down.
After everything was taken care of, he opened his mission book, took out the mission book for steam and steel from the warehouse, and clicked on the icon that intersected the blue crystal and the steam engine.
Fortunately, the person we met this time was a skeleton warrior who could be solved by trickery, if it were other soldiers.
Nowadays, it is no longer an era for a group of spearmen to conquer the world without any damage.
To expand the army, it is natural to take one step.
‘Do you want to open the mission book: Steam and Steel, opener: Ji Lin, this time carry the hero unit Chang Heng, Heavy 껚. ’
‘Please note that in the 놇dungeon, you will not be able to summon materials. Death in the 놇dungeon will be deemed to be the settlement of the dungeon immediately. Rewards will be obtained based on the evaluation. If the evaluation does not meet the standards, you will not receive the reward. ’
‘No answer after one minute will be deemed as giving up. ’
"confirm."
Ji Lin did not hesitate and confirmed his intention to the system.
‘Confirmation completed, good luck to you. ’
‘놖Looking forward to your performance. ’
Ji Lin was stunned. Before he could react, the blue vortex had already swallowed him up.
