Chapter 40: Welcome the Era and Improve Enemy Attacks

The branches of the world tree are extremely rare civilization characteristics. They will only appear in the optional pool when the lord is an elf or plant population.

You will get a branch that provides a global bonus to the territory, with the effect of +10% population growth rate, +10% additional plant growth rate, +5 stability, and 1 point of habitability. Tree people can get this extra growth rate bonus, which is equivalent to 20% population growth and reproduction rate. It is far less than that of ordinary populations, but it can also make up for the disadvantages slightly.

Later, you can also start the project of awakening branches to get other bonuses.

This civilization characteristic bonus is most suitable for agricultural cities and tourist cities in the later stage. The highest bonus of the complete world tree is the habitability bonus. Every year, you can count the money from the tourism industry alone.

March Wood: 'Nothing, a very strong civilization characteristic, you just need to develop well, build all the exclusive buildings for tree people, and ask me if you have any questions. '

Li Zishanyan 'Thank you, big brother. '

After solving the questioner's question, Ji Lin set his sights on the burning flag he had just obtained.

With the burning flag guard, the militia also has combat effectiveness.

The barracks and shooting ranges can train ordinary soldiers such as archers and light crossbowmen, but there is no option to recruit militia. Militia is also considered a special soldier. It is necessary to use the technology of military training manuals to quickly train civilians into combat-capable militia. The combat effectiveness of some militias with full bonuses is not inferior to that of regular troops.

The shooting range is a building of the third era. The free archers and free light crossbowmen that come with unlocking are naturally also soldiers of the third era. This is a hidden benefit that Ji Lin had not thought of before. He can now take out the crossbow team.

Now Ji Lin uses the regular light crossbowmen with normal equipment and low training as militia.

Use grain to exchange enough bow and crossbow manufacturing materials and animal tendons for 200 people in the market. He now has an extremely sufficient grain reserve and sits on three landforms with extremely developed plant reserves in the plain swamp floodplain. These primary resources guarantee the initial development of the territory.

After the development of the fishing grounds, the coast can also make up for the lack of meat. I don't know what the location of the coast will be like when arriving in the big world. The abundant biological resources can give his subjects a fairly good standard of living.

But it is expensive. The food and wood warehouses that he had finally enriched with this 200-man light crossbowman team were drained again, and every 100 people cost 3,000 food and wood.

Two hundred militia light crossbowmen brought burning flags, and cooperated with a hundred musketeers who were far ahead of the times and could kill any elite unit.

The pure long-range team gave up melee combat and relied on positional warfare to build a defense line. The combat effectiveness was very sufficient.

The upgrading era was already on the agenda.

Next, wait for the wooden wall surrounding the entire territory to be built. The new wooden wall is a square fence of 1,000 by 1,000, a total of 4,000 meters, consuming 4,000 units of wood. It takes two days for all the unemployed villagers to mobilize to carry wood. If the entire plain, a hexagon with a side length of 18 kilometers, is enclosed, it will take 18,000 units of wood.

He can't take out too much.

[Wooden wall]

[Wood: 10]

[A 10-meter-long, 3-meter-high, 1-meter-high walking platform on top of an ordinary wooden wall, with poor defense]

On average, one unit of wood is consumed for every meter.

When it is dismantled, 70% of the resources can be recovered, which is equivalent to consuming 1,200 units of wood.

It takes a month to train a new crossbowman, but it only takes three days to teach them archery. This crash course teaches these old farmers to shoot arrows. They just stand on the wall and shoot arrows. They don’t pursue range and hits. They can always hit if they are close enough.

Pull the string and shoot arrows.

Two hundred villagers have become light crossbowmen, and there are two hundred jobs that lack staff. He has no plan to expand to other plots to mine materials for the time being. The temporary absence of these two hundred people is acceptable.

Three days passed in a flash, and the refugees outside the territory were gradually gathered, with a total population of 910.

In the early morning, the sound of crossbows breaking through the air was heard from time to time in the shooting range.

"Shoot!"

As Chang Heng issued the command to shoot, the villagers stood in a row holding light crossbows and shot at the target at the end. The team of 20 people in a row shot arrows at the scarecrow that had been pierced into a hedgehog 100 meters away. In order to save costs, they all used the lowest manufacturing cost of pastoral arrows for shooting practice.

The accuracy was really hard to compliment. In a round of volleys of 20 archers, only two hit.

Ji Lin thought that this was because the training time was too short. Now the villagers can aim and draw the bow to meet his expectations, and he dare not ask for better.

He can directly check the data of this group of light crossbowmen who are still in training.

[Name]: Light Crossbowman (Untrained)

[Melee Defense]: 25 (35)

[Movement Speed]: 4km/h

[Armor Strength]: 10

[Organization/Morale]: 40 (60)

[Ammunition Capacity]: 22

[Weapon Range]: 100 (140)

[Weapon Power]: 17

[Features]: New recruit, low organization, poor accuracy, slow reload

[Introduction]: A group of light crossbowmen who have not yet completed training. You need to carefully formulate a combat plan for them.

All the data are terrible. The untrained crossbowmen have only 70% of the range of the normal version, and they also have an additional negative effect of poor accuracy. The 40 points of organization will break at the touch.

But the weapon power is not lost, which is why crossbowmen are better than archers. As a weapon for storing energy, crossbows can be operated by everyone after a certain degree of short-term training, and they can learn to pull the bowstring and aim. They can also show the same weapon power, and will not have the problem of being limited by people like archers.

This simple and easy-to-use weapon is the best choice for him who urgently needs to supplement his combat power.

After equipping the burning flag, the weapon power of this group of archers increased from 17 to 21, and the characteristics of fire attack were added. With the supplement of the burning flag, ordinary crossbow arrows were turned into rockets. After the weapon power of this group of old farmers' crossbows increased, they could kill people with just a random shot.

On the 26th day, he had been away from the original world for almost a month.

According to his calculations, the defense force of the territory is now enough to deal with the enemy attack that has been upgraded to the third era without injury.

The hunting spiders were not brought here by him. They were still placed in the pasture. When facing some monsters wandering past, these hunting spiders will take the initiative to attack and protect the pasture.

The attacks of the era upgrade are refreshed according to the location of the main town center and the population concentration. For this reason, he will not be attacked in the sub-town center of the floodplain. This is why he dared to boldly take pictures of the town center in advance and lay out various agricultural buildings in advance in the floodplain. Others who don’t know this news will be more cautious in their birthplaces.

The sun is slightly slanting, and it is four o'clock in the afternoon.

This is the most suitable time for long-range troops to play. Neither the accuracy will decrease due to the strong sun, nor the field of vision will be reduced due to the dim light.

‘Do you want to upgrade the era? This time consumes food: 2400, stone: 960, wood: 960, gold mine: 320, iron mine: 320. ’

Ji Lin clicked to agree.

‘The era upgrade has been received. This era upgrade consumes 3 standard hours. Eliminate all enemies to ensure the era upgrade. You have 1 standard hour to arrange your army settings. ’

‘Good luck to you. ’

A ray of light rain fell from the sky and enveloped the town center, and the scattered particles began to reorganize the structure of the town center itself.

Many people in the territory saw such a spectacular scene for the first time. Some villagers directly regarded it as a miracle and knelt down to worship the center of the town covered by the rain of light.

It was beyond human power, but it was regarded as a miracle.

Until a horn sounded from outside the city, which was from the direction of the main gate of the city.

The enemy attack arrived.
