This novel is a fictional story about territory building in a wasteland world. It involves both Eastern and Western elements, and some details are exaggerated. Please do not take it as fact.

However, it was all just her imagination; in practice, she needed to calm down and do it slowly.

The main developments next year will be sea routes, railways, cooking, and housing construction.

Having dealt with the frogmen's affiliation and jobs, the next step is the mermaids.

Or rather, this thing…

Qin Yiyi told them to take off their headscarves, and small snakes were wriggling on them.

This is hardly a mermaid; it's completely different.

She sent for half-elves who knew how to use bows and arrows, and told them to bring plenty of bows and arrows.

If this species is indeed the same as the one we imagined, then this species must be extremely skilled at archery.

Thus, she now has combat orcs, and perhaps this winter she can organize the combat-type orcs into a legion, just like the Thorn Legion, the Rose Legion, and the Flame Legion, a legion armed by the territory itself.

Everything is progressing gradually.

The half-elf brought out a bow and arrows, and Qin Yiyi had someone find a large tree in the distant woods and hang a bright red apple on it.

"Take the bow and arrow and give it a try."

Qin Yiyi handed the bow and arrows to the leader of the ten-armed Naga. The Naga took the bow and arrows with a puzzled expression.

"We are mermaids, and mermaids don't fight with bows and arrows, we..."

"You try it first. You're not mermaids anymore, aren't you?" Qin Yiyi's words made the ten-armed Naga pause. They still dreamed of returning to their mermaid race, but now...

There was no going back anyway, so the leader of the ten-armed men used the strength of his arms to draw back the bowstring and, in a desperate move, shot the arrow, which pierced right into the center of the apple.

? ?

The bright red apple was at least fifty meters away. She didn't even try; she just shot it casually, and it hit the bullseye perfectly.

What's going on?

Was it just good luck?

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous, yet also a little excited. Without thinking, she picked up an arrow, nocked it on her bow, and shot it out. It hit the bullseye from fifty meters away.

Another success?

All the mermaids gathered around, waving their arms, creating a spectacular scene.

"Move forward another 100 meters!" Qin Yiyi signaled the slaves to take another new apple forward. The apple that had been shot down was cut in half and thrown to the alien mermaid.

He can hit the bullseye every time from 100 meters away without any training, which even makes half-elf take notice.

"Bring me arrows!" The half-elves had just entered the territory and were already being "provoked" like this. They had only just begun to integrate into the territory and were better than the slaves in every job, which had given them a little confidence. How could they lose face in front of these mermaids!

Mermaids are just kings of the sea, so how did they end up competing with elves for territory in the land forests?

Two hundred meters ahead, the half-elf and the Naga simultaneously drew their bows, and once the bows were drawn, there was no turning back.

You must hit that apple.

The first to draw her bow was the half-elf. After shooting, the half-elf squinted slightly. She was an outstanding archer among the half-elves, and her abilities were no less than those of the elves.

Her father was a renowned archer in his tribe, and her mother was an orc from the bird tribe. They had a child together. After suffering the hardships of being abandoned by the elves, her father abandoned his wife and child and returned to his tribe. Her mother, after pleading in vain, abandoned her in the Eternal City in a fit of anger. At that time, she was already seven years old.

So she struggled to survive alone in the Eternal City.

She inherited her father's exceptional archery talent, but he ignored it. His later daughter was so mediocre, not even half as good as her. Just because she was an elf and she was a half-elf, it was already destined that no matter how good she was, she would always be at the bottom. She had long wanted to leave the Eternal City alone, but she just didn't have the opportunity.

This opportunity has finally arrived.

She also wanted to prove herself completely in Qin territory.

Qin Yiyi gestured to hang apples 300 meters away.

Before the bird slave could recover, a whooshing sound rang out as an arrow pierced the very center of the apple!

Less than ten seconds later, an arrow followed closely behind.

The arrows of the half-elf and the ten-armed naga were both caught in the center of the apple.

Qin Yiyi clapped her hands!

"good!"

As expected of a half-elf whose talent rivals that of an elf, she achieved such accuracy without any systematic training or weapons like an elf. It was quite impressive, and the Naga surprised her even more.

It seems that talent is indeed more important than hard work. Talents like Naga and half-elves have never undergone systematic training, not to mention that this is the first time Naga has ever held a bow and arrow.

"Let's try another 300 meters, 400 meters!"

Qin Yiyi spoke, and Naga began to move.

However, their accuracy at three or four hundred meters is not as good as that of half-elves. Although half-elves are not like elves, they at least grew up in the elven capital. Unlike the alien mermaids, this is the first time the Naga has ever touched an arrow.

"I need someone with exceptional archery skills. By the end of this winter, I need someone who can use the latest composite bow and arrow and hit the target every time from 500 meters away!"

"I will prepare the equipment and training grounds. Tell the fox and rabbit territories that if they don't have such talent, they should look for it in the slave market. If they can't find it in the slave market, they should look for it in the mercenary market. They can buy slaves at high prices or hire mercenaries as instructors at high prices. What I need are agile and quick-witted archers!"

Sid nodded. Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Deer-Horned had now left their positions as squad leaders and were now working as Sid's assistants. The three of them were secretly competing with each other, and Qin Yiyi could control them with just a few words.
