Chapter 637 Waterways are the safest(1/2)
Suddenly having a territory, it feels like a beggar holding a bowl at the city gate suddenly becomes a king and has many fish.
"Don't be so optimistic. There are only fifty guards. We can't protect our family business at all." Crazy Ouye scratched his hair anxiously. This guy is quite aware of the crisis.
"The ten villages must be well guarded. Only when players feel safe will they choose this place as their birthplace." Rorschach pays more attention to long-term development.
The construction of the territory is related to the player population, especially the settled population.
Most players will choose a place as their settlement. For example, Su Mo chose Huggins, and the same goes for the brothers of the Blood Flag.
Even if you have a territory and attract millions of players to watch, it will not bring any economic benefits.
Only when players eat, wear, live, and use everything here can they become the permanent residents of the territory, send money to you, and be willing to take up arms to defend their homeland when the territory is in crisis.
The simplest source of permanent population is naturally the Xinshou Village under the town.
When players come out of Novice Village, they must go to the town first.
If the town leaves a good impression on the players, they will choose to bind the return stone to the town, and over time they will become permanent residents.
As for Tallinn and the Holy City, the consumption in super cities is too high. The consumption of hotels and restaurants of the same level is more than ten times that of small towns.
Huggins is such a large area, with only one town and ten novice villages. This is definitely a place that players don’t like to come to. After all, if the novice village is overcrowded, the system will add newbie villages, and Huggins can put
Got to get a hundred novice villages.
"With ten novice villages, each village must have at least four guards. That means forty guards are gone." Su Mo felt very sour.
"Actually, just two will be enough," Tian Dazhuang said: "Novice players are low-level, and two guards can suppress them. We can use players to patrol. The effect of high-level players is not much worse than that of guards."
"Then there are only thirty guards left." Su Mo was helpless.
The Novice Village where he was born was also under the jurisdiction of Huggins. He remembered that there were twelve guards in that small village, four guarding the entrance, and the other eight were divided into two groups to patrol the village constantly.
It's pity that the new Mr. Huggins can only let two per village.
There is no lower limit to how miserable you are.
"Thirty, I suggest putting ten in the mine. Although that mine doesn't produce much, there are a lot of open-pit mines around it. I suspect there are a lot of mining resources hidden underground there, and there are many mines that can be dug out." Shenmao.
said.
He is a technical geek and also likes all kinds of research in the game. Sometimes he will go out and dig for ore himself when he needs it. He is a very experienced miner.
"Then we can only have twenty guards in the town." Su Mo sighed.
Twenty guards have to guard four gates, guard the train station, have fixed patrols, and be allocated certain mobile personnel.
No wonder Viscount Wesley was so gloating about his misfortune.
As a viscount, he could recruit five hundred guards, but Su Mo only had fifty.
"In that case, you still have to continue to upgrade your title." Shengshi Anning looked at Su Mo. She basically doesn't play games, but she also knows how difficult it is to gain fame.
"We can only do that slowly. We will recruit as many experts as possible. If the quantity is not enough, we will make up for it with quality." Su Mo said.
How to find an expert?
Su Mo thought of Wallace.
If you mess with me, I will allow you to open a fast food restaurant in Huggins. I hope this will impress them.
He soon arrived at the place where Wallace was hiding.
Although Wallace trusted Su Mo very much and regarded him as a brother, Su Mo had already been interrogated. It seemed that Wallace's power had grown recently, otherwise he would not have been able to separate so many people.
And on the way to see Wallace, Su Mo also saw many refugees and young people.
You should treat each other with admiration after seeing each other for three days!
Only then did Su Mo realize that this was a game, and it was impossible for people to spend several years growing up. Once this main line mission was started, it was immediately equipped with benefits that only the protagonist could have.
There are probably at least several hundred young and strong men with a certain fighting ability.
Wallace hugged Su Mo warmly. He slapped Su Mo on the shoulder and asked excitedly: "Brother, what have you been busy with recently? I haven't seen you for several days."
"You're just messing around, Wallace, I've brought you good news." Su Mo said seriously.
"What good news?" Wallace was really interested.
"I recently obtained the identity of a lord..." Su Mo said.
"What, this is impossible, brother, only nobles can become lords, and you are just an adventurer." Of course Wallace did not believe Su Mo's nonsense. It seems that as long as it is an individual, whether it is a game player or a game NPC, listen to
The first impression that Su Mo had when he became a lord was that he was crazy.
Su Mo was also helpless. He could only try his best to explain again.
It took a long time to explain before Wallace could accept the news - his brother Iron Horse Glacier had transformed from a wandering adventurer like him to a distinguished Master Huggins.
Su Mo was actually a little worried, worried that Wallace would not agree with his new identity, and might even think it was a betrayal.
Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. Wallace was very happy for Su Mo: "Congratulations to you, but it's a pity that I don't have wine here, otherwise I would have a drink to celebrate for you."
"You don't have wine, I do. I brought a lot of wine and food today." Su Mo started to take things out.
Everyone was already accustomed to the adventurers' various magical powers, or perhaps the system blocked their thinking direction. Anyway, they watched very calmly as the food and drinks that could fill more than a dozen tables appeared.
The wine was specially brought by Su Mo, but not the others.
That was the food ration for the little golden python. Su Mo was buying delicious food almost all the time. If you really calculated the money, it would cost a lot.
When Wallace saw so much food placed in front of him, he was not polite at the moment and invited the young and old who were hiding in the mountains to come out and enjoy together, and he also shared the wine with them all.
The famine was raging and the nobles were brutal. These refugees had no choice but to escape from the nobles' territories and seek survival in the mountains.
What's even more outrageous is that the nobles can actually convict these people, classify them as thieves, and put a reward on their arrest. The money spent on the arrest can save ten times the number of refugees.
Su Mo and Wallace were sitting on a wooden pile drinking.
"Come to my place, I will try my best to resettle everyone." Su Mo put forward his invitation. This was not because he wanted to recruit refugees like Wallace to fill the population - this was a game. The size of the population was of great importance to Su Mo.
Such a player lord does not make much sense, and would also violate the so-called nobility law.
Noble law refers to rules that are independent of the law.
These rules will not be resorted to paper books, but the nobles will make these rules authoritative, even higher than the law. Anyone who violates them will be punished.
If Su Mo takes in Wallace, there will be certain risks.
But Su Mo is not afraid. He has a backer. At least Grand Duke Stan will not fall out with him in a short period of time, and the vampires will not push him out as "one of their own".
The rules are not unbreakable.
If Su Mo is a loner and gets a territory through bad luck, then the neighbors around him will keep a close eye on him and will be knocked down if he makes any mistakes.
But if Su Mo had a background and background, everything would be different.
As long as the person protecting him is strong enough, no matter how violent he makes, others can only watch.
"Forget it, the world is huge, there is no place where we people can't survive, and it's not just the people you are looking at, there are more people who are either dead, dying, or worse than dead.
To live, we have to have an explanation." Wallace said.
Su Mo was stunned, he and this man had only been separated for a few days, how could they have changed so much.
In the past, Wallace was just a wandering samurai who didn't know anything. Now he has become a qualified protagonist of the main mission.
"Old people and children, there is no solution to all this trouble. I will think of a way to open up a channel for them to go to my territory to make a living. You may not know that Huggins' place is vast and sparsely populated. Although it is barren, as long as it is
As long as you work hard, there will always be a place where you can make ends meet." Su Mo said: "I believe you can change your way of life, and then you can find a way to repay me for everything I have given today."
This is investment. I see that you have a future, so I will put weight on you.
Wallace chewed the bread in silence, chewed half of it, and handed the bread to a little boy who ran past him.
"You are my brother. I won't say anything polite. There are indeed many people on my side who need to be accommodated." Wallace finally chose to seek help from Su Mo.
The system prompts Su Mo to complete a new task [No worries].
Wallace is a pauper and can't give him anything except experience and reputation, and Su Mo has reached level 50, so he can't even get experience.
So all rewards are eventually converted into reputation.
This time the main mission directly gave Su Mo 50,000 reputation points, and his total reputation suddenly exceeded 250,000 points.
From an ordinary person to a lord, the player needs 300,000 reputations. From a lord to a baron, the player needs to reach 1 million reputations. From a baron to a viscount, the player needs to reach 5 million reputations. From a viscount to a count, it is even more exaggerated, requiring 20 million reputations.
An ordinary task will only give you ten reputation points under normal circumstances. If it is less, it will give you five points or even none.
"It's just that the nobility's blockade is very strong. It's not easy to send people to your side. Once the nobles find out, it's not even easy for you to explain." Wallace wanted to know what Su Mo could do.
The area where Huggins and Wallace were located looked not far away on the map, but if we really walked, we would have to pass through the territories of several nobles.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to remain silent without being noticed.
When I rejected Su Mo at first, I was worried about harming Su Mo on the one hand, and the operability of the plan was too poor on the other.
"My plan is to take the waterway, set off at night, and arrive before dawn the next day. This area is crisscrossed by waterways, which are basically connected. Here, here, and then turn here, directly enter the Huggins Sea from the waterway
." Su Mo didn't just talk nonsense, he took out a map and started to draw, and he quickly made a route map.
"This can indeed avoid the eyes and ears of the nobles to a certain extent, but monsters are rampant in the water, which is very dangerous." Wallace pointed out the loopholes in the plan.
What's more, walking at night is too long for your life, right?
