The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 466 Territorial Development
Zhang Qiang didn't know that someone was plotting against him with Earl Siwa, so he returned to his territory, this time to Uludana Village.

As soon as I approached Uludana Village, I saw new settlements popping up along the road. Most of these settlements were shacks, thatched houses, and some wooden houses.

In addition, as long as there is a place close to the forest, there will be a lumber camp, and there will be more wooden houses in the lumber camp. Some people even have wheelbarrows loaded with firewood and transported to the lumberyard, and a larger four-horse carriage comes out of the lumberyard to continuously transport the firewood or unpacked wood to the village.

When passing by the foot of the mountain, I also saw the quarry. The stones were mined piece by piece by the NPC miners with mining picks, and they were laboriously loaded into the carriage and transported to the quarry warehouse for storage. Then the four horses from the quarry Horse-drawn carts transport the stones to where they are needed.

On the road paved with slag and stone slag, you can also see the mine carts coming out of Mount Kass, and their gathering place is also the village of Uludana.

When passing by the wheat field, there are many ragged NPCs working in the wheat field, just like the farmers in the empire era, they kept cultivating the land.

The caravans from Zhiwading or Kurao walked on the hardened road in their own territory in an endless stream.

Around the territory, the scout cavalry galloped on the field, watching every corner vigilantly, and there were even patrolling infantry in the jungle.

Close to Uludana Village, there is a patrolling militia team of village guards. Although their weapons are simple, their patrols are intensive and meticulous, making it impossible for criminals to approach Uludana Village.

Occasionally, a group of 30 Kujit rangers can be seen galloping into the village of Uludana, and the cavalry cavalry of the Swadia Kingdom are patrolling and guarding.

Among those mining people, Zhang Qiang could see a few players. When he entered Uludana Village, there were even more players. Players were haunting almost every street.

Zhang Qiang stopped and looked around the village of Uludana. There was only one village road where one person and one horse galloped in the hills, and the simple wooden houses built on the hills on both sides of the hills disappeared. There was only one road. The road, and the scattered village houses around are gone.

Instead, there is a large village like a town with a radius of five miles. The streets are criss-crossed. There are about seven vertical roads and six horizontal streets. Many houses have also become two-story wooden houses, mixed with many stone houses. It is one-story, but there are also some rich people who built two-story houses.

There are water wells at every intersection in the village, and there are several windmills on the top of the hill. Originally, there was only one old windmill in this village, which was often unusable after being looted and broken.

On a piece of high ground, there is a place that looks like a manor. Where is the school, the luxury is certainly not comparable to that of your own manor, but it is enough for the people in the village.

Beside a small stream that flows through a corner of the town, on the high ground, where is his own manor, there are heavy troops stationed, watchtowers, arrow towers, and a lot of catapult platforms.

In a large area in the center of the village, there is a village hall, where the village chief works.

In one corner of the village, there is a two-storey warehouse-style stone courtyard, which is the village chief's home, and the general affairs are handled by the NPC village chief.

Only the military defense was resolved by Zhang Qiang's manor force.

The manor of Knight Zhao Siyang is not far from Zhang Qiang's manor. He is in charge of the militia in the village, which is equivalent to the sheriff in the village.

After receiving the news of Zhang Qiang's return, Zhao Siyang had already come to welcome Zhang Qiang.

Behind Zhao Siyang is Zhou Congee Zhou. As early as a few months ago, not long after Zhang Qiang set off, Zhou Congee Zhou brought people into the game.

Zhang Qiang has already heard the report.

"My lord, you are finally back. I am afraid that you will not come back in time. The Kujit war is approaching us. Some villagers made a fuss a while ago. If it weren't for the fact that there are enough troops here, I will continue to train the militia. Maybe they really let those NPC villagers succeed, they have the opportunity to occupy the entire village."

Zhao Siyang said.

Zhou Porridge followed Zhao Siyang's words and said: "Your village is too rich. According to what I have learned these days, your village's wealth can definitely be called the first village in the entire Calradia continent. In the words here , is extremely prosperous, the population of a village has reached 1, and the population of Tusculum Village has reached 6000, which has to arouse the prying eyes of the surrounding lords."

Zhang Qiang said with a chuckle: "The outlaws in my territory are not extinct, but they are basically very few. Although there is a threat from the Kujit, they almost surrounded us in a semi-surrounding state. However, go to Ux The territory of Howl City is very large, and they can't block us. We are still at peace with the Kingdom of Sarande, and this side is at peace with the Vikirians. Without too many foreign enemies, of course it will soon develop."

Zhou Congee Zhou nodded in agreement with Zhang Qiang's statement, but immediately put on a serious expression, "I heard that Feng Qingyang from the Kujit Kingdom is also doing well in the Kujit Kingdom. He developed on his father-in-law's territory. It’s also very good. They have recruited many original players from the real world, and they are also mining the black iron ore on Cass Mountain, and his troops are getting stronger and stronger. NPC troops are restricted by titles and cannot develop, but the player team But it has grown to 1 people."

Zhang Qiang frowned, "How could they develop so fast? Do they have so many knight rings?"

Zhou Porridge said: "According to the information obtained, there are more than 3000 players in China, most of them are players from the former Tiance Mansion and Iron Blood Guild. They are all soldiers and some recruiters. Although there are more lawbreakers than you here, they come from the real world, and it is easy for people in the real world to find ways to deal with dangers, so they develop very quickly."

Zhao Siyang interjected: "Their players have all got rid of the status of farmers and entered the status of professional players in life. There have emerged many lumberjacks, miners, chefs, herbalists, craftsmen, farmers, citizens, and horse trainers. Among them, miners are the most , they vigorously exploited the black iron ore in Mount Cass."

"What does this have to do with us?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"The relationship is very important. This proves that their progress in the development of the game world is far ahead of ours, and the ore they mined is for Lao Maozi. Lao Maozi's technology, especially military technology, far exceeds that of our country, that is to say They may continue to suppress our country and make our country their vassal," Zhou Porridge said.

"Then you can also let people in?" Zhang Qiang said.

Zhou Zhou spread his hands and said: "Because you haven't come back, we can't do anything, this is your world after all, if we expand the scale, you must have objections.

Moreover, the NPCs here are listening to you. If they find that we have too many people, they will be squeezed out, which may endanger your rule.

The events of the famous people that happened earlier were influenced by the Kujit people, and we robbed them of their living space, such as mining. The people we came this time are all miners. Many of them have become mining masters and can mine Some people became smelters to smelt the ore, and a very small number became blacksmiths. They could build some agricultural equipment, supply your territory, and purify the ore. "

"I have no objection, you can let more people in." Zhang Qiang told Zhou Porridge straightforwardly.

Zhao Siyang said: "But the more advanced life skill jobs and factories are in the castle and the city. Your village cannot produce citizens, and we cannot penetrate into the castle. The castle belongs to your enemy, Earl Siva, and your original The lord also disliked turning the contract into a city, and he felt that a castle as a military fortress should not have the function of a city."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "There won't be so many troubles in the future. I am the chief minister of this territory now. As long as the military, economic and security aspects are not involved, I have the final say. You can let go of your hands."

Zhou Porridge said happily: "That's enough, but I have to trouble you, can you provide us with more knight rings. To expand the manpower, we must need a lot of knight rings."

Zhang Qiang turned his head and said to Delangton in the distance: "Dronton, go and call Francois, I need him."

Dronton flew on his horse, "It's my lord, I called Master Francois before this evening."

After speaking, he led a small team of Vegia cavalry towards Tusculum.

Zhang Qiang pointed to Zhao Siyang's manor, "Let's go in and talk."

"Okay, my lord." Zhao Siyang has changed the address of Zhang Qiang as a friend, and he regards himself as Zhang Qiang's subordinate, and is used to the tone of Calradia's boss.

While walking and talking, a group of people entered Zhao Siyang's knight's manor, which was also greatly changed. First of all, the defensive function was almost comparable to Zhang Qiang's original manor in Uludana Village.

Secondly, the function here is not only a private manor, but also Zhang Qiang’s material storage base in Uludana Village. Many food, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, weapons and equipment that Zhang Qiang needs, as well as Zhou Zhou Zhou’s ore are stored here. , the defensive force here has been greatly increased. About one platoon of players has taken the route of force after being promoted from serfs. They are now light infantry and crossbowmen.

The rest of the guards are Zhao Siyang's knights directly under the guard, about 100 sword and shield soldiers, 20 Swadian crossbowmen, 30 Vikia archers, and the Wiki brought back by Zhang Qiang last time. There are thirty archers stationed here.

Varixien is stationed in Zhang Qiang's manor.

There are more than 200 elite Swadian soldiers, more than 80 Wikia soldiers, more Swadian militiamen and recruits stationed in forts around the entire territory, and about [-] Kujit soldiers Stationed on the other side of the village, this was originally the territory of the Kujit Kingdom. No matter what, the original Kujit people always came out like a spring, and then continued to serve their new lords.But they are still Kujit people.

When he came to the hall of the manor, Zhao Siyang said with deep emotion: "It used to be very lively here. The players of Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and Rose Knights are not here now. Those who are dead are dead, and those who are offline are offline. I hope you see more real-world people on your team so I don't feel alone."

"Aren't there still people from Zhou Porridge Zhou?" Zhang Qiang squinted at Zhou Porridge Zhou.

Zhou Porridge Zhou smiled and said: "They are all soldiers, they don't have half vitality, they don't come here to make meritorious deeds, they come here to serve and serve the country, so they look like NPCs in the computer, lifeless. As for the NPCs here, I can see the joy of life and death, and there are more and more people, just like spring water emerging from the ground."

Zhao Siyang said: "Yes, there are more and more people in the village. In the wilderness among several villages, in the forest, more and more people come here. They have formed a new population gathering point. According to incomplete statistics , there are at least 5000 people. Such NPCs come to our surroundings from other places, dig a hole in the ground, cover the hole with thatch, and call it home. Life is like watching the European Middle Ages shown in a blockbuster movie. like those vagrant vagabonds."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "So, our village is simply a prosperous second-tier city for them."

Zhou Porridge Zhou smiled and said: "This analogy is good. Farmers approach the city, and then find a way to enter the city. There is a chance for them to rise in the city. At present, our militia has 3000 people. If they want to fight, they can be pulled out to fight immediately."

Zhao Siyang said: "Unfortunately, in our area, from our place to Tusculum Village, and between Fort Ahun, there are still many areas that do not belong to us. If you are not here, no one will Dare to expand outward, if we can include Fort Alhun and Lana, then we will be an independent kingdom in this diamond-shaped area."

Zhang Qiang squeezed his fingers, "Lana, soon, as long as the war starts, I will find a way to take down the city of Lana, Fort Ahun, since the Kugits and the Sultanate of Sarande are very close, the geographical location They are close together again, so they are enemies to the original Sultanate of Sarande, we can watch them take down Fort Ahun, and then take it down when they are short of troops. In this case, this place , it's ours,"

Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "You have to become an earl first, otherwise, you will fight for others. You are just a viscount. You only have the right to own a village, not a castle."

Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, "Yes, before realizing these plans, I must first become an earl, and once I become an earl, I will be able to expand my territory unscrupulously."
