Chapter 29: Luck Too Bad, Encountering Marauders 《Seeking flowers!!!》

"Ding! Attention all players, the three-day novice protection period has ended!"

"Mobs will refresh near your territory to loot your resources; please pay attention to protecting your territory!"

"Special reminder: The combat effectiveness of mobs is equivalent to militia; besides mobs, there is a very small probability of large-scale marauders refreshing. Once encountered, it is best to actively offer all resources to avoid the territory being destroyed!"

After seeing this announcement, the chat area exploded instantly.

"Three days passed so quickly; the protection period ended so fast!"

"Damn, I just upgraded my territory and didn't even have time to recruit soldiers before the novice protection period ended."

"I'm a bit better; I recruited a few infantry and archers. Dealing with some mobs shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Which big brother is willing to trade food and iron blocks? I'll exchange with double the wood and stone."

"Don't even think about it; the most important thing for recruiting troop types is food and iron blocks. At this juncture, who would trade them?"

"Better recruit a few more militia to deal with it."

After Su Li woke up and saw this system announcement, his first reaction was to go to the chat area and trading area to check.

Whether anyone was willing to trade iron blocks for food.

It was a pity that both resources were in urgent need right now; everyone was lacking.

After this day passed, only 36 units of food were traded away, and 12 units of iron blocks were obtained.

No choice.

In order to strengthen the territory's combat effectiveness.

Su Li had to first use the 12 units of iron blocks to exchange for four inferior iron blades and four inferior leather armors.

Then exchange for 8 wooden short bows and several sets of wooden arrows.

Then recruited 10 farmers through the Lord's Mansion.

Then selected the 12 with the highest Might from all the farmers to convert into four infantry and eight archers.

Until now.

Excluding him, the lord, White Cloud Village had a total of 25 people.

Among them, 12 were combat professionals, and the other 13 were farmers.

Such a configuration should be stronger than other players at the current stage.

However......

The biggest difference was still Su Li, the lord.

Over 30 points of Might, one Advanced Blade Arts, one Intermediate Archery, plus a Master Logging skill, a 2-star trait, and a 1-star weapon.

Adding these together was enough for him to sweep all players at the current stage.

After recruiting the combat troop types.

Su Li had them patrol the territory to prevent mob raids.

Just in case.

Su Li didn't go to the mountain forest to grind monsters and level up.

He didn't arrange for farmers to gather resources either, but had them all hide in the thatched cottages.

Facing the upcoming enemies, the farmers' pathetic Might probably wouldn't be of any use.

Forcing them to join the battle might not have any benefits and would instead lead to injuries.

It was just a group of mobs comparable to militia.

8 archers, 4 infantry, plus him, the lord, were completely enough! ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
