From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 32: The First Wave of Bandits after the Novice Period

In ancient times, privately possessing armor was a serious crime, but the circulation of swords and other items was not prohibited. Why?

Because the defensive capabilities of armor are so strong, especially iron armor, which can basically block all attacks from swords and knives!

Zhuge Liang's entire body is now covered in heavy black iron armor, except for his face, upper waist and limbs. The probability of these parts being attacked is too small.

After Zhuge Liang upgraded to a high-level militia, the panel rewarded him with a set of extremely defensive black iron armor, which was quite a surprise!
When Zhuge Liang came out of the barracks and appeared among the crowd, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts!
Just looking at this armor is enough to make people shudder!
Ning Mengya was the first to react and said excitedly: "Zhuge Liang, you, you are a senior militiaman?"

It’s a pity that players in Wending cannot view the NPC’s attribute panel, otherwise she really wants to see how strong Zhuge Liang is now!

Zhuge Liang hummed and said, "I upgraded successfully."

"Okay! Great!"

Guo Tu cupped his hands and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Congratulations, General, on your improved strength."

Wang Da and other little fart spirits also congratulated Zhuge Liang.

The crowd dispersed, and Zhuge Liang, Ning Mengya and Guo Tu came to the meeting hall of Daming Village.

Tomorrow will be the first wave of bandits’ attack after the novice period. There will be three waves in total, and I believe the number of people will be more than the bandits in the novice period.

Guo Tu expressed his concern about this, but Ning Mengya and Zhuge Liang didn't care, especially Ning Mengya. After seeing Zhuge Liang's strength, she can now put her confidence in Zhuge Liang.

When she was a mid-level militia, she could kill enemies above her level alone. Now that she has been upgraded to a high-level militia, wouldn't it be easy for her to deal with bandits? Unless the other party has a ninth-rate general!
But would a ninth-rate military general be crazy to become a bandit?

Then Ning Mengya went to arrange work for the villagers, while Guo Tu bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "General, what do you think of our militia?"

Zhuge Liang didn't know what the other party meant, so he asked, "Sir, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."

Guo Tu said: "Then I will venture to tell you something. Although I am not very proficient in military preparations, I do know a thing or two."

"We now have the largest number of archers and spearmen, which means we are more offensive, but once the enemy outnumbers us, our weaknesses will be exposed."

Zhuge Liang frowned: "You mean, the defense is not enough?"

Guo Tu nodded and said, "Well, it was only when I saw the general wearing armor that I remembered that our militia should get more armor, or we need more types of soldiers, such as sword and shield soldiers, cavalry, etc."

Zhuge Liang asked, "Why don't you tell the lord?"

Guo Tu smiled and said, "You saved me before."

It was obvious that what this guy meant was that even if he was loyal, he was loyal to Zhuge Liang, and Ning Mengya, the lord of Daming Village, had not yet received his recognition.

This old guy has some very hidden thoughts.

"There is one more thing... I don't mean to look down on the general. After all, the general is just a militiaman. He is not good at commanding and training soldiers. I suggest that the general should be promoted to the rank of military general as soon as possible."

After becoming a military general, even if he is only a ninth-rate general, he will have the attributes of a commander. The higher the command value, the stronger his ability to train soldiers and deploy troops will be.

If it is a small-scale war during the novice period, Zhuge Liang can still rely on his personal strength to crush the opponent, but what about a large-scale military war? Human physical strength always has a limit. Only when the soldiers under his command are strong, then the strength of his side will be stronger.

If you want to dominate the world, it is essential to build a powerful army.

Guo Tu's suggestions were all very pertinent. Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "I see. Okay, thank you."

Guo Tu hurriedly bowed and said, "General, you are too kind."

……

Zhuge Liang found Ning Mengya and told her two things in a concise manner. First, to mine ironware on a large scale, and second, to get the laborers to process and manufacture armor.

Ning Mengya was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she said to Zhuge Liang, "There is no iron ore in our territory."

"But I'll ask Wang Da and the others to look for it nearby."

"it is good!"

……

Ning Mengya quit the game in a very good mood and opened the Wending forum.

"A new wave of bandits will attack tomorrow. Haha, I already have 30 militiamen. Just watch me beat the bandits to a pulp!"

"I was bullied by these damn bandits during my novice period. I survived and I will definitely kill them this time."

It is worth mentioning that the group of players who made deals with the bandits at the beginning still faced the same wave of bandits.

If you kill the bandits during the novice period, the next wave of bandits will be stronger.

General Xing Daorong said majestically: "It seems that General Xing Daorong will kill the enemy again tomorrow. This time, with the blessing of the companion beast, the bandits will have a miserable end!"

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill him till there's not a single piece of armor left!"

General Pan Feng said majestically: "I have recruited General Pan Feng! I was timid during the novice period, but now I will strike hard! Damn bandits, just wait for me!"

"Now these bandits are going to be punished."

"These three waves of bandits should not be very strong. You don't need to pay any attention to them. They can be easily controlled."

Most of the players were optimistic about this attack by bandits. They had never faced bandits before and were unsure about them. But after facing a wave of them during their novice period, they now knew how to deal with them.

Especially this month, players have recruited new NPCs and their strength has improved a lot.

"Iron mines have been discovered in my village. Wow, hahahaha, we're rich!"

"What's upstairs? If you find an iron ore, it's an iron ore. At most you can exchange it for a little more money. I'm not jealous at all."

Novice: "That's not true. With iron ore, we can make more weapons and even armor with stronger defense! So iron ore is very valuable!"

"Oh my god! Brother Ji, it has to be you! My train of thought has suddenly opened up! Yes, iron ore is very important! People upstairs, what village are you from and where are you located? I'll send you some local specialties in two months."

"Haha! The guy upstairs is so mean, are you planning to attack someone else's territory? Are you here to gather intelligence? Bitch, bitch!"

Novice: "But don't worry, everyone. There are vines in everyone's territory, right? Vines can be used to make vine armor. Although the defense is a bit weak, it can still increase defense. It just costs a lot of money to exchange for vine armor."

"@小菜鸡, Boss, you are so thoughtful. Thanks for the reminder. I will go and exchange it for the vine armor right away."

“聪明的人已经从游戏里面出来了……卧槽了，10银币+10藤蔓才能兑换1藤甲，50银币+10铁器才能兑换1铁甲！这简直是抢钱啊！甲胄怎么这么贵？”

"Guess why it was a serious crime to privately possess armor in ancient times?"

When Ning Mengya saw this, her heart sank. This armor... was really expensive!

While the court is still having heated discussions outside the game, Zhuge Liang is already leading 51 militiamen and preparing for battle inside the game!
