Chapter 978

【Building】 Bamboo Forest, etc.

Su Qin's territory is called Qingzhu Town, a medium-sized town.

Including those beastfolk soldiers, there are 2,213 people in total.

The main race is female elves, numbering 2,013.

She became a lord about 13-plus months ago; at roughly 5 elves arriving per day, that comes to around 2,000 people.

But these 2,013 elves in her territory should also include some who joined after being captured.

There are also 370 captives in the territory.

All captured recently.

Captives cannot be recruited directly.

Forced recruitment yields extremely low loyalty and makes them completely unusable.

Either through beatings and punishment to raise obedience and turn them into slave soldiers,

But slave soldiers have low base morale and mood, a low combat ceiling, and their obedience keeps dropping, requiring constant beatings to raise it.

So slave soldiers are fine for temporary use, but poor for long-term use.

Or they can be slowly cultivated until they're willing to join on their own and become foreign-race territorial citizens.

Foreign-race citizens also have loyalty; once loyalty rises, they're relatively stable.

Easier to use with peace of mind.

Su Qin probably wants to convert them all into territorial citizens for use.

Her territory's civilian morale and public order are both above 70, which counts as decent — anything above 60 is considered passing.

After all, she has no Carefree Spring to boost mood, nor can she hand out super-improved fashion to everyone; numbers above 70 are good enough.

The two specialty products in Su Qin's territory are both bamboo-related.

She must have activated bamboo-related technologies.

And there are also several bamboo groves.

Setting a specialty raises the output of the corresponding item by 10%; Zhao Chi's two villages both set theirs to wheat.

After all, wheat can be stored for a long time without spoiling easily.

Su Qin's specialties are bamboo wine and bamboo-leaf tea.

The cross-cupped wine she just drank with Su Qin was probably this bamboo wine — the taste was quite good.

Her agriculture is only 1,560 points; her annual grain output can only feed 1,560 people.

Looks like she still needs to buy quite a bit of grain.

Industrial output is 2,257 points, just enough for the people in her territory.

Commerce is at 673 points, producing currency-based goods worth 673 gold per year — probably mostly from bamboo wine and bamboo-leaf tea.

Wealth is 3,582 points, meaning all the material assets in her entire territory, aside from personnel, are worth 3,582 gold in total.

Including equipment, medicine, items, resources, furniture, specialty goods, buildings, and so on.

Looking at the whole picture, her Qingzhu Town is indeed a qualified medium-sized town.

Although grain output is insufficient, commerce output is considerable, so earning money to buy grain works too.

【Qingzhu Town Military Roster】

【Combat Power】 1,105

【Commander】 Su Qin

【Heroes】 Li Qi, Li Hua, Li Mei, Li Zhu, Zha Zha Hula, Cashado

【Tier Three】 300 Elven Longbowmen

【Tier Two】 150 Elven Archers, 100 Beastfolk Warriors, 50 Human Soldiers

【Tier One】 50 Elven Sentries, 50 Beastfolk Militia

All her elves wear leather armor and are ranged troops.

And she also has 300 Tier Three Elven Longbowmen — the elves on the tower last time she was reinforced were probably these longbowmen.

No wonder those elves seemed to have strong ranged ability at the time.

Beastfolk and humans all wear iron armor and are melee troops.

You can tell they've only just joined.

Loyalty is only 3–4 points, barely usable.

She has four elven female heroes under her, all surnamed Li — Su Qin must have renamed them.

The two beastfolk heroes behind them also just surrendered and joined, both with loyalty of 4 points.

Zhao Chi asked curiously, "Su Qin, why do your four female heroes all share the surname Li? None took yours?"

Su Qin smiled and said, "My mother's surname was Li, so I had them inherit my mother's surname. If you're willing, I'll change them all to Zhao."

"No need, I was just asking out of curiosity. The current names sound very nice."

"Mm." Su Qin smiled and stared at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi continued looking.

【Su Qin】 21 years old, Advanced Lord

【Level】 Level 35, Appearance 7

【Figure】 84C, 58, 86

【Attributes】 Constitution 5, Strength 4, Agility 6, Intelligence 6

【Abilities】 Command 56, Martial Skill 50

【Abilities】 Spiritual Pressure 61, Governance 56

【Talent】Elf Expert

【Spiritual Technique】Eagle Eye, Gathering Arrow

【Combat Art】Rapid Fire

【Skill】Archery 21

【Enhancement】Movement Speed +120%, Accuracy +120%, Evasion +60%

Su Qin's appearance has 7 points.

Before, I only thought she was very pretty, but now it's confirmed—she truly has looks worthy of a campus beauty.

Her figure is also top-tier among human women, quite excellent.

Agility and Intelligence both have 6 points, exceeding ordinary humans by 1 tier, reaching elven levels, but her Strength is low, only at the level of an ordinary woman.

But when she just yanked Zhao Chi, that strength seemed to be more than 4 points.

She is now a High Lord.

After all, she has been a lord for over a year, gone through 13 monthly evaluations, and her hero attributes have slowly accumulated quite a bit.

Martial Arts is slightly weaker, Spiritual Pressure is the strongest.

Overall, she's still well-balanced.

Her talent is Elf Expert, which adds +60% to skill effects when used on elves—a middling talent, but very suitable for her.

Her spiritual techniques are Eagle Eye and Gathering Arrow.

Eagle Eye boosts vision and can be used on groups.

Gathering Arrow reduces attack speed but increases damage, and can also be used on groups.

Her territory also has the archery combat art Rapid Fire, which consumes energy to fire 3 arrows in succession.

Similar in effect to Whirlwind.

Her archery is at 21 points, roughly equivalent to just over 2 years of bow experience—seems she practices archery very diligently normally.

The enhancements are Movement Speed, Accuracy, and Evasion.

No wonder she always seemed light on her feet—turns out her movement speed is enhanced by so much.

She's an agile, archery-focused female lord, so this kind of enhancement makes sense.
