Xu Fei looked in the direction of the voice.
When he realized that the person who had come was Hunter Li Si, he leaned against the city wall with a tired face.
However, his eyes were shining with excitement.
The mission he assigned to Li Si was to hunt wild beasts in the forest and obtain food.
Could the information he brought be related to food?
If that was the case, then this information came too timely. He was currently lacking in all kinds of resources!
He walked forward and waited for Li Si to catch his breath before asking,"What information is it?"
"City Lord, we caught a prisoner in the forest!" Li Si hurriedly said.”
"Captives?" When Xu Fei heard that it was not related to resources, he was slightly disappointed.
However, he quickly suppressed his emotions.
At the same time, he thought to himself that the hunter's combat power was only 20. The captives they could capture were probably not very powerful.
They were probably scouts from other low-level cities.
Since he was free now, he could interrogate him and get some information from him.
"Where are the captives?" he asked Hunter Li Si.”
"City Lord, the captive is seriously injured and is now in the hunter's cabin. If he doesn't receive timely treatment, he won't be able to hold on.”
Wounded captives?
This time, Xu Fei became interested. Where did the captive come from? How was he injured? Was he injured by a human city lord or a sea beast?
A series of questions popped up.
Xu Fei's expression darkened.
This captive was probably very important.
He immediately gave an order to the apprentices in the clinic.
He followed Hunter Li Si to the Hunter Hut to treat the injured captive.
Watching the acolytes leave their cities.
Xu Fei pondered in his heart.
A captive appearing at this time would probably bring more bad news than good news.
He was afraid that he would be targeted.
Although his city was still in the novice stage and was in a state of exemption from battle.
However, if he was targeted by someone with ill intentions and sent troops to block his door, he would not be allowed to leave the city to attack the beast nest and not be allowed to develop.
Even if he were to rise to a grade 3 main city, when the exemption was lifted, he would be doomed to die.
No!
He definitely could not sit still and wait for death.
He carefully thought about the countermeasures. In the city, his greatest reliance was the six-star golden general soul Huo Qubing, as well as those basic farmers and workers.
He gritted his teeth.
He called Huo Qubing over.
"Greetings, City Lord."
The Marquis Champion was still dressed in Han armor, with two Basic Farmers following behind him.
Even when he was farming, he was still extraordinary.
Xu Fei told the Marquis Champion about his speculation that he might be targeted by an enemy faction.
"City Lord, please allow Qubing to lead his troops out of the city and kill the enemies for City Lord!" The Marquis Champion immediately said.”
Xu Fei sighed.
"Marquis Champion, I don't have the resources to recruit soldiers right now!”
Unexpectedly, the Marquis Champion said nonchalantly,"City Lord, don't worry. As long as you give Qubing ten farmers, I have my ways!”
Xu Fei's eyes lit up.
"Could it be that the Marquis Champion is going to train his soldiers?”
The so-called agricultural soldiers were the basic farmers who were trained directly without going through the conscription office.
This was a default skill that only generals had.
The higher the level of the general, the stronger the attack of the recruited soldiers.
However, the recruitment of agricultural soldiers would greatly slow down the development of the city.
Because the farmers did not have armor, their casualties on the battlefield were extremely high.
Generally speaking, cities would only recruit farmers when they were at the end of their rope!
Xu Fei thought for a moment. If he was blocked by the enemy, wouldn't he be at the end of his rope?
One punch to avoid a hundred punches.
For the sake of his future development, Xu Fei gritted his teeth and recruited soldiers!
He directly handed over the 30 newly obtained Basic Farmers to Huo Qubing.
"Marquis Champion, I'm still in a Grade 2 city, so I can't attack the beast nest for now."”
"Bring them to the Hunter's Hut. When the city is upgraded to level 3, you will attack the beast nest outside and obtain resources for me.”
"I'm producing soldiers in the city!"
"When you have accumulated enough strength, you will lead the entire city's army and deal a thunderous blow to the enemy!”
The Marquis Champion nodded heavily.
...
Xu Fei personally escorted the Marquis Champion and 30 Basic Farmers to the city gate.
This troop had yet to walk out of the city gates.
Hunter Li Si actually ran back.
Behind him were the medical apprentices.
Xu Fei's heart tightened when he saw them.
"Could it be that the captive died before he was treated?”
"Wouldn't I be unable to get any information?”
Unexpectedly, when Hunter Li Si saw Xu Fei.
He caught up in a few steps.
He knelt down with a thud.
"Congratulations, City Lord!”
This congratulatory gift made Xu Fei somewhat baffled.
"Li Si, where did the joy come from?" he asked.”
He said quickly.
"City Lord, the captive was just saved by the doctor. After he woke up, he told us a piece of good news to repay his kindness.”
"In the forest, there is a warehouse with a large amount of food and various resources.”
When Xu Fei heard the news, he was in disbelief.
He looked at Huo Qubing and asked for his opinion.
Huo Qubing was indeed an extremely intelligent general.
He rode on the horse and kicked it lightly, driving the horse to Li Si.
"Li Si, can you believe this person's words?"
Li Si hurriedly took out a token from his pocket and handed it over.
After Huo Qubing looked at it, he gave it to Xu Fei. There was a golden word engraved on it.
"Marquis Champion, we found this token on him. According to him, he was the subordinate of the city lord of Xuanjin City, the original city state here.”
"In Xuanjin City, he has always been a lieutenant in charge of logistics.”
"According to him, the City Lord of Xuanjin City was afraid of the ten-year tsunami beast tide. In order to increase his strength, he spent a huge price to buy a large number of resources.”
"Most of these resources were transported into the city to expand our strength. However, a portion of them arrived too late and encountered the siege of sea beasts.”
"As such, they cannot be transported into the city, and can only be temporarily stored in a secret warehouse built in the forest.”
"However, I never expected that the city lord of Xuanjin City would not be able to resist the attack of the sea beasts and the city would be breached.”
"These resources will naturally become ownerless goods.”
"Because of this, this lieutenant and his twenty soldiers escaped the fate of being destroyed along with the city.”
"Originally, they wanted to rely on these resources to build a stronghold and become bandits.”
"In the end, before we could even set up a stronghold, we were discovered by a scattered group of thirty sea beast remnants.”
"Without the support of the city, this lieutenant and his subordinates are no match for these sea beasts.”
"He was the only one who ran out of their village.”
"According to him, the stockade is still his territory at the moment. There's no beast nest, and there are more than 60,000 resources inside!”
"In order to repay the kindness of saving his life, he was willing to offer the village to the City Lord. He even wanted to join the City Lord's army!”
After listening to Li Si's explanation, Xu Fei began to think.
If the situation was true, then this stronghold was not a beast nest yet. It was just a stronghold of the former city lord's remnant soldiers.
Since he was able to receive the golden general of the former city lord, he could naturally receive his remaining soldiers and resources.
They could send troops to attack.
As for the thirty sea beasts, with Huo Qubing's 1,000 combat power, he could kill them all by himself.
Moreover, he had the farmers and hunters!
As long as the news was true, they could take him down.
Also, this captive was telling fake news. This so-called Fort Master was a trap!
Moreover, it might be a trap specifically targeted at him.
This was a little scary.
After much consideration, Xu Fei decided that 60,000 resources were enough for him to upgrade to a Level 4 city and build an elite troop of at least 10,000 soldiers.
He made up his mind. Wealth comes from danger. If you want to get rich quickly, how can you not take risks?
He was afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. Even if a pie fell from the sky, it would not fall on his head.
He immediately made a decision to send troops!
It was just that he had to make a foolproof plan before going. Although he had decided to take the risk, he could not be so stubborn as to hit a wall.
He gathered his subordinates in the City Lord's Mansion.
He summoned the holographic map.
He began to explain his battle plan to them.
"This battle plan is divided into two parts. One is open and the other is hidden.”
"First of all, Li Si, you take your hunters and captives, and 15 farmers to attack the enemy's front.”
"You only have one mission, which is to test the enemy's strength, to test whether there are really only 30 sea beasts among the enemy, and whether there are other ambushes. At the same time, protect your own effective strength.”
"Qubing, this time, you will be in the dark. Take the remaining 15 soldiers and surround this secret warehouse.”
"Spread out for 50 kilometers and search outside. We must be very careful to prevent falling into the enemy's encirclement.”
"Remember, if there's any danger, you can retreat immediately. You don't need to worry about the soldiers!”
As Xu Fei spoke, he looked at the Marquis Champion with bright eyes.
Huo Qubing wanted to refuse. He was not a general who would abandon his comrades.
However, when he saw Xu Fei's stern gaze.
An order from the City Lord could not be refused, so he nodded.
Xu Fei continued to talk about the battle plan.
"Qubing, Li Si, once you find out that there are no ambushes and only thirty sea beasts, you will be able to escape.”
"All of you will join forces and attack the warehouse with Qubing as the commander. We will kill the sea beasts and seize the resources!”
Xu Fei's hand slammed heavily on the table, making a dull sound.
Huo Qubing and Li Si immediately responded.
"We will obey the orders of the City Lord!"
"Let's go!"
"Yes."
