Chapter 45

But watchtowers and walls were not like buildings such as barracks; the workload was very large and required a lot of time!

Roughly estimated, with the dozen or so farmers currently in Bai Yun Village, it would take at least a day to build walls that could surround the entire Bai Yun Village and watchtowers on all four sides.

Fortunately.

Yesterday, twenty-something surrendered soldiers were subdued, and today, fifteen more farmers could be recruited.

If this manpower was also invested, it would only take half a day to complete.

Of course.

Currently, Su Li didn't have the money to build all the watchtowers and walls.

He could only instruct the farmers in the village to build as much as possible.

After taking down the stronghold and obtaining a large amount of resources, he would continue to invest in construction.

Subsequently, Su Li came before the Level 2 barracks.

Although he was very confident in his current strength.

But just in case, he still recruited some more advanced troop types to act as helpers.

Even if these helpers couldn't play a big role in the battle, at least when the battle ended, they could help him clear the battlefield and escort the loot obtained from the stronghold back.

Arrived at the barracks.

Su Li first checked the number of NPCs in Bai Yun Village and their information through the Lord Panel.

Currently, Bai Yun Village had nearly 70 people.

From them, he picked out 30 people with the lowest Martial Strength values to continue being farmers.

From the remaining thirty-something people, he picked out the 20 people with the highest Martial Strength values to promote to advanced troop types, and the remaining dozen or so were promoted to basic troop types.

Perhaps some people would be curious, why not promote all of them to advanced troop types?

It was entirely because there weren't enough resources.

He had to make do with this for now.

In the end.

8 Blade-Shield Soldiers.

12 Longbowmen.

A dozen or so basic troop types.

After the recruitment of troop types ended, Su Li began to arrange the destination of these troop type NPCs.

"Infantry and Archers guard Bai Yun Village, the others follow this Lord to attack the stronghold!"

He left a dozen or so basic troop types to guard the current Bai Yun Village.

Although the combat power left behind was not much, it was enough to deal with ordinary rioters.

If they encountered large-scale bandits.

As long as he wasn't there, leaving the twenty advanced troop types behind wouldn't be of much use.

Bai Yun Village's foundation was thin, so Su Li could only arrange it this way.

Investing as much combat power as possible into the stronghold he was about to attack.

As long as the stronghold was taken.

It would be an opportunity.

An opportunity to rapidly expand Bai Yun Village's strength in a short time!

Even if it was accompanied by risks.

But by taking a gamble, the bicycle would have a chance to become a motorcycle!

If he was lucky.

It could even become an unstoppable war chariot!!!

Stayed in Bai Yun Village for a while longer.

When the sun had completely risen, Su Li took the 20 advanced troop types and left the territory, heading to the stronghold in the depths of the mountain forest, ten-plus miles away.

In reality.

For an ordinary person, walking ten-plus miles would probably take three or four hours.

Plus mountain roads, five or six hours wouldn't be an exaggeration.

But Su Li and the others were not ordinary people.

Su Li riding a horse goes without saying.

The 20 advanced troop types all had Martial Strength values of 10 or above.

Martial Strength value is a comprehensive reflection of a person's strength, speed, and physical strength.

A Martial Strength value exceeding 10 meant that they already had physical fitness far exceeding that of ordinary people in reality.

Thus.

At full speed.

It only took them a little over an hour to travel from Bai Yun Village to where the stronghold was located.

Su Li stopped in the grass less than five hundred meters from the stronghold gate.

He looked back at the 20 advanced troop types following closely behind him, including Zhang Qiang, and said: "When attacking the stronghold later, you guys (Blade-Shield Soldiers) are responsible for protecting them (Longbowmen) and supporting from the back."

"You don't need to charge in front!"

The 8 Blade-Shield Soldiers, including Zhang Qiang, nodded heavily, "Lord, rest assured, we guarantee not to let these guys get hurt!"

Subsequently, Su Li's gaze turned to the 12 Longbowmen: "You guys act according to the situation later; once you break into the stronghold, immediately occupy the high ground."

"Try your best to shoot the enemies while ensuring your own safety."

Following Su Li's words, the 12 Longbowmen also nodded heavily: "We understand, please rest assured, Lord!"

"Good!"

Nodded slightly.

Su Li took a deep breath, stood up, and appeared on the mountain road.

"Who?"

There was only one road into the stronghold; when he appeared, two bandits standing guard at the outpost next to the stronghold discovered Su Li's figure.

Of course!

Su Li was not afraid of being discovered; riding the sweat-blood horse, he walked toward the stronghold step by step.

"Who is it?"

The two bandits first roared.

But Su Li didn't answer them and continued riding toward the stronghold gate.

"Damn it, if you don't speak, then go to hell!"

Most bandits were ruthless people; seeing Su Li ignoring them, their eyes turned cold, they took out bows and arrows from their waists and shot immediately.

Chi!

Chi!

Two arrows broke through the air, crossing a hundred meters of sky in the blink of an eye, shooting toward Su Li.

They looked quite accurate.

But in reality, in Su Li's eyes, it was just like two raindrops hitting him.

With a flip of his hand, he took out the Fine Iron Long Blade from his waist and swept it forward.

Easily deflecting the two arrows.

"Ene... ene..."

The two bandits saw the opponent easily knock away the arrows they shot, and the momentum was very fierce; how could they not understand that a strong person was invading, and immediately prepared to call for help.

But the next moment!

Chi!

Chi!

Su Li also took out the Iron-Fetal Bow, directly nocked two arrows, shot them out, instantly crossing a hundred meters, and pierced through their foreheads.
