Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 200 Bitao Village
Without further ado, after finalizing some details, Levi set off with his troops.
Although many of his subordinates died in the battle, their size this time was several times larger. They included not only the priests and believers of the two goddesses, but also the villagers who originally belonged to that fishing village.
That’s right, before he can truly become the master of the village, he still needs to complete a mission to escort the villagers, and this time no one will give him a mission reward, because everyone who arrives at the village alive will become his subordinate or villager, which is already the biggest reward.
So Levi really put his utmost effort into it, and together with his pet Xiaoqi, he tried his best to summon the Inspector Yakong, and sent out Lisadilan, Julia, and the few remaining night elf hunters to go out and find out the surrounding situation, and report immediately if there was any disturbance.
At the same time, he also maintains the existence of many summoned creatures at all times to protect the villagers together.
There was no other way, because the melee troops had suffered too many casualties. Now the Jade Warriors, Silver Guards, and Spartans combined only numbered just over 20 people, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Moreover, these villagers, young and old, had to carry large and small bags of gifts, and they had to walk alone, so the pace was ridiculously slow.
Based on Levi's current experience, if there is no fighting, an ordinary high elf soldier can easily run a hundred or eighty miles a day. If he runs a little faster, or stays up all night, it is not impossible to double or triple that distance. If he is a cavalry, it would be even faster.
But these villagers who don't even have a class are far behind. Judging from the current situation, even if they don't encounter any monsters, they can't walk many miles a day.
Out of curiosity, Levi asked Julia to investigate them several times. Then he discovered that the attributes of these villagers were much worse than those of ordinary militiamen. Generally, they had only 2 or 3 points, and their perception attributes were also very poor. Facing Julia's investigation, they did not react at all.
However, this exploration also brought Levi an unexpected gain. In addition to ordinary farmers, there were also some people with special professions such as lumberjacks, miners and shipbuilders among these people, and the largest number were fishermen. It seemed that the river near the village really gave them a lot of help.
At the same time, he chatted with the villagers and found that the village had indeed built a small, extremely simple dock on the riverside, where they could build rafts, sampans, fishing boats, etc.
Of course, due to limited conditions and technology, these broken things can only be used in the small river to catch some fish and replenish food. Once they dare to go out to sea, they will capsize immediately.
Levi asked about some more details and felt that the potential of this village might be even greater than he had expected. If he was strong enough, he could occupy both the valley in the east and the river beach in the west.
Then we can make some modifications to it and upgrade the original dilapidated dock into a small port for visitors to transit. Wouldn't that be a huge source of income?
Add to that minerals, timber, and the ability to fight fishermen and undead when you have nothing to do, this is much better than Silent Manor!
However, the monitor Yakong soon sent a message saying that a group of demons were coming to attack and asked them to be prepared.
Levi immediately took full precautions and threw micro-meteors directly at them. After his elf talent was strengthened, this magic could cause considerable damage even to demons that were resistant to fire.
Although the demons came with great force, many of the subordinates knew the seriousness of the situation and fought with all their might. The Gaiding Celestial Clan members, such as the Patrol Wolf Envoy, Deer Horn Envoy and Tiger Envoy, were also very active. Therefore, although the number of melee troops was small, the situation was not too bad and the enemy was quickly repelled.
Yes, now the Tiger Master has also signed a summoning contract with him.
And probably because a Tiger Master acted on his own initiative and almost ruined Levi's plan, all the Tiger Masters now feel both guilty and respectful towards him. They probably wouldn't have any complaints or dissatisfaction even if Levi deliberately sent them to die, but would only feel relieved.
Levi thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. How could these guys, who are so thin-skinned, survive to this day?
But anyway, this is indeed a good thing for him.
After repelling two waves of demons and one wave of beastmen, they finally completed this not-so-long but slightly tricky journey and arrived at their real destination.
Perhaps because the villagers had been away for a short time and were also lucky, the village did not suffer any damage for the time being, and the villagers returned to their homes happily.
Immediately afterwards, a system prompt popped up, saying that Levi had become the owner of this place, and his reputation level had been directly raised to respected.
Perhaps because it is very close to the Changya Road and has been influenced by the Aurora culture to a certain extent, Prince Long also gave this fishing village a very oriental name - Bitao Village.
Levi also thought it was good, so he continued to use it. He paid more attention to other aspects of the village.
Bi Tao Village
Lord: Levi
Village Chief: Li Wei
Deputy village chief: None
Garrison officer: None
Garrison: None.
Villagers: 387
Tax rate: Normal (adjustable)
architecture:
Meeting hall, 128 houses, 24 wooden fences, 5 simple sentry towers, militia training center, grocery store, lumberyard, open-pit mine, warehouse, simple dock, tavern (primary).
Available for construction: chevaux de frise, markets, residential buildings, prisons, miners' camps, pearl oyster farms.
characteristic:
1. Fishing Village: The reproduction rate of fish is slightly increased, the chance of attracting rare fish is extremely low, and the chance of villagers becoming fishermen is greatly increased;
2. Undead Threat (Primary): This place is close to a large-scale ancient battlefield and there is a possibility of being invaded by low-level undead;
3. Pearl oyster gathering place. There are a large number of shellfish that can produce pearls hidden in the nearby waters, and it is possible to build related buildings.
(This place belongs to the royal system - High Elves - Kingdom of Caledor - Overseas colonies)
After reading this series of information, Levi was greatly surprised. He knew that with so many potential risks, the true value of this village must be very high, but he never expected it to be so high.
Not only are there so many buildings, there is even a hidden feature that the priest and the villagers here are completely unaware of!
Pearls, after they are mined, aren't they much more valuable than wood and stone?
After looking at the materials needed for the following types of buildings, he found that they were nothing more than some wood, stone, and a little money, which was not worth mentioning to him at the moment.
The only problem may be that the number of villagers is too small. There were at least one or two thousand people in Maple Leaf Village before, but now there are less than 400 people in Bitao Village. Excluding the elderly, women and children, there are probably only a little over a hundred real adult males, which is not enough to do anything.
It's a pity that the militia training center is just an ordinary training center that can train qualified villagers into militia, rather than a God-given building, otherwise he might be able to come up with more ideas.
No matter how weak the militiamen are, they can still be used if they are sent out to fight skeleton soldiers or murlocs for a few days.
After thinking it over, he could only try to discuss it with the priests of the Temple of Lilith.
Due to the rampage of demons, so many villages have been destroyed or looted. Now they are all homeless, and it would not be good for them to stay in the temple for refuge forever, right?
Other indigenous lords may not need them, but I do!
Thinking of this, he immediately made up his mind to get more villagers over, otherwise it would be difficult to start up all the buildings or recruit soldiers.
Then he simply lowered the tax rate to encourage the villagers to work harder. Anyway, these farmers and fishermen could not pay less tax, so they could not expect to make money from them in the short term.
Then he didn't let the villagers do anything else, but prioritized building the temple of Sehanine Moonbow and settling the night elves. Since they chose to come with him, they couldn't escape.
The second one is the Ferocious Ostrich Farm he got from the Jackal Apocalypse Chen Zhui, which can recruit the Savage-type Level 1 beast-type soldiers - the Ferocious Ostrich.
Although Levi completely despised their fighting power, even the halfling war geese could be transformed into mounts after upgrading, so there was no reason why these larger and more ferocious ostriches could not do the same?
In this case, maybe I should send a message to the Sun Knight, asking him to send out the brothers in the guild as soon as possible to help me implement the fishing plan, and then bring the soldiers I left behind in Silent Manor over. It would be better to bring them to my village than to leave them there.
And it doesn’t matter if it’s others, the trainer should still be able to use his skills when dealing with these ferocious ostriches.
Next came Guang Yakong, Wolf Patrol, Mastiff Yakong and others. They had all agreed to establish permanent contracts with Levi. Now that his melee troops had suffered heavy losses, he urgently needed them.
Then he also planned to pass some information to the old wizard and the old witch of the bee tribe. Even if it was not possible to fool them at the moment, it was normal to establish some cooperation and transactions.
In comparison, it is much more convenient for the Lotus of the Red Brotherhood. Last time, Lotus boasted that as long as a red flag was put upside down behind the tavern, they would arrive soon. Now it is a good opportunity to see if they can still do this in the case of a demon invasion.
After thinking it over again, he did not plant the ancient guardian seed immediately, but planned to save it for later use.
They are magical seeds that contain extremely strong vitality, half biological and half plant. If necessary, they can all be activated by magic in minutes to become powerful fighters, and may give the enemy an unexpected surprise at the critical moment.
He called the witch Tiva, the halfling Sam, Leonidas and others and decided to announce something.
In fact, after being called over and looking at each other for a few times, they almost figured out what was going on.
Then, as they expected, Levi decided to appoint the witch Tiva as deputy village chief, Leonidas as garrison officer, and Sam and his friends would continue to be responsible for the reconnaissance mission around Bitao Village.
The witch Tiwa was naturally very moved, because she had not officially joined Levi's army yet. She only came here under the pretext of repaying a favor. How could she have thought that she would become the deputy village chief directly?
Although the current strength of the Bitao Village is much weaker than the gnolls of the Stoney Highlands, she firmly believes that as long as Levi leads this place, it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the Stoney Highlands!
So excitedly, she took out several architectural drawings and stuffed them into Levi's hands without saying a word.
"Levi, I originally planned to use these to build my own village. Chen Zhui, the last of the world, also suggested this to me before. But now that you don't despise my race and accept me as the deputy village chief, I will give them to you to use. I believe they will be able to play a greater role!"
Levi was really surprised this time. He originally wanted to recruit the witch Tiva because she was a rare hero, but he never thought of taking advantage of her!
He was suddenly touched: "Tiva, you don't have to..."
The witch Diva waved her hand nonchalantly: "Okay, stop talking. As the deputy village chief, I have to give priority to finding a good house."
After saying this, she turned around and left, because she was afraid that if she didn't leave, her emotions would get out of control.
But even though her movements were not slow, they were already seen by Donna, who was leaning against the wall with her shoulders folded, and Cindy and Janet who were staring at them eagerly.
No matter what attitude they had held towards this special werewolf in the past, they now had exactly the same thoughts, and even had the same smile on their faces.
Levi sighed lightly and looked at a few drawings. Then he couldn't help but sigh again, because the value of these drawings was really not low.
Rare Jackal Den:
Recruitable Savage Tier 1 troops: Bloodthirsty Jackal, Jackal, Jackal Poacher, Claw Jackal (up to 14 of each per week, no more than 28 in total)
Toxic Dragonfly Swamp:
You can recruit Savage-type 1st-level Poison Dragonflies (up to 12 per week) and 2nd-level Poison Fire Dragonflies (up to 9 per week)
Primary Colosseum: Can drive 0-3 level beasts to fight each other for life and death, and increase the experience points gained by 15%.
There is a 5% chance that a knocked-down beast will enter a state of suspended animation, with 1 HP remaining. The opponent can still gain full experience points.
It can be seen that Diva still has certain plans for her future. As long as there are enough resources, she can train some elite beasts in a very short time. Although only level 3 beasts can be involved, once they break through level 3, they can be considered quite strong in the wild.
Unfortunately, she chose the wrong opponent at the beginning, and all the big dragonflies that she had cultivated with great difficulty were killed by her. But this time she has invested such a huge amount, and she will definitely not let her down!
Sam also had no objection. Although halflings loved adventure by nature, they loved food even more. The rich experience he had during the past half month following Levi was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life. Now was a good time for him to relax and study food.
Moreover, he has already felt that with his strength, he will not be of much use in the increasingly fierce battles that are coming. This becomes more and more , these sub-kongs are really not afraid of death.
Then, without waiting for Levi to speak, he took the initiative to invite his fellow tribesmen to settle in Bitao Village. He could not say anything else, but they would definitely be able to run the tavern well.
And you don’t have to wait too long. When they are young, halflings like to travel very much. There are more or less some in human towns, which are not particularly far from here.
In contrast, Leonidas was a little dissatisfied with this arrangement at first, because for the proud Spartans, adventure, killing, challenging powerful enemies, and even dying on the battlefield in the end, that was what they expected.
But Levi quickly changed his attitude with just a few words.
Although the village looks calm on the surface now, there will actually be many enemies in the future, whether they are the undead, murlocs, or the occasional passing beastmen and demons. He can deal with them as he wishes, and Levi is not at ease leaving it to others.
In order to better protect the village, Levi even asked Leonidas to write a letter to the Spartan village, calling for more reinforcements.
Their village chief once said that the chest of a Spartan man is a city wall. Now it is time to prove this to Levi.
After hearing what Levi said, Leonidas was immediately overjoyed and no longer had any dissatisfaction. Instead, he was filled with joy, because even a strong man like Lord Levi also needed them, the Spartans!
