Chapter 25: The Archer Who Wasn't There
"Haha, it turns out that every time I upgrade the village building order, there will be built-in buildings and population. I am finally saved."
Zhang Yang was so happy that he almost burst into tears. Is it easy for me to gather enough people to farm? But this time he chose to be very cautious. After all, he had to consider the future development of the entire village. The task of building a village that lasted for 300 years was really difficult.
Especially since he can only be in charge of the village himself for 20 years, and the next 280 years will most likely be cutscenes. If the next village chief makes a mistake at that time, he can only watch helplessly. So no matter what, he must lay a solid foundation for the village, even if it means slowing down his own strength improvement.
"Level 5 residential buildings must be selected. There are 20 households, and if each household has four people, that means there are 80 people. Then, you can tick off the herbal shop, arrow tower, weapon arsenal, and warehouse. Anyway, I have a lot of monster meat in my hands."
"Well, for the rest, should I choose the blacksmith shop, the artisan camp, or the farmland?"
Zhang Yang was in a dilemma. He had suffered enough from the lack of population, so now he naturally wanted more population, but the other two were also very important.
"Okay, if you want farmland, it's important to bring 25 farmers with you. As for craftsmen, I still have three recruitment quotas. At worst, I can use them all to recruit craftsmen. At worst, I can go out and be a craftsman myself."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and finally made a decision. He couldn't make the same mistake again. Without population, he would really cry to death.
After the selection is made, the upgrade of the village construction order will automatically disappear, leaving only a countdown.
Only then did Zhang Yang have time to walk out of the Wood Demon Tower and inspect the weapons seized from the previous battle, or to be more precise, the heroic weapon - the giant mace.
Well, this thing cannot be accommodated in the village building order space, so it is still outside.
Then Zhang Yang took just one look and decided to ignore it. There was no other way. It was too heavy. It was ten meters long and two meters in diameter. At least half of it was made of steel. In short, this heroic weapon disappointed him because no one under his command could use it. Just look at its properties.
Giant mace.
Heroic weapons.
Quality: White
Weapon damage: 3900 Weapon usage conditions: Strength attribute reaches B- or above.
"Keep it and melt it down after the blacksmith shop is built." Zhang Yang curled his lips. This thing couldn't even make the golden scale appear, which showed how stupid and crude it was.
Turning around, Zhang Yang ordered all the soldiers to assemble. He would then use the demon souls to strengthen and upgrade them. There were a total of 14 candidates, and he now had 12 elite archers, 8 elite spearmen, and 7 elite sword and shield soldiers left, so he had to think about this carefully.
"Meet the village chief."
The soldiers quickly gathered together and saluted Zhang Yang respectfully.
"Song Dachui, Liu Dali, Qin Yidao, Sun Goudan, Wang Mumu, step out!"
Zhang Yang first pointed out five people. These five people were the best performers in the previous battle. For example, Song Dachui ran over at the last moment and used the Spear of Confinement to help him complete the divine assist in the fatal kill of the Deer Monster, so they must be trained as the focus.
Wang Mumu, the elite sword and shield soldier, was the one who saved his life in the melee and was also injured as a result. He must also be trained as a priority.
As for the remaining three, they are all elite archers, the three with red eagle battle patterns, so they must also be promoted to captain level first.
"Wu Yuan, come here and give me some advice. I now have a complete mountain monster spirit and a complete lord spirit. Which type of soldier do you think I should focus on improving?"
Zhang Yang asked at this time. He now attaches great importance to Wu Yuan's suggestions. For example, Wu Yuan had previously suggested that he use the Spear of Confinement. This intuition was unique.
Wu Yuan was very surprised. In fact, all the soldiers were stunned and looked incredible. It was obvious that they all knew the role and importance of the demon soul.
"Village Chief, this matter is of great importance. How can I be worthy of this—"
"Stop talking nonsense. When you let me experience your so-called reverence before, why didn't you say what I deserved and what I deserved? Just tell me what you know. If anyone else has any better suggestions, please share them too. Don't act like a woman." Zhang Yang cursed. This guy was too cunning.
This time, before Wu Yuan could say anything, Song Dachui on the other side had already screamed: "Village Chief, can I use that mace?"
"Shut up, the chance that you can use it is pitifully small." Wu Yuan shouted, calming down the many excited soldiers. There was no other way. Even if they were NPCs, they were afraid of death. If it could improve their strength, why would they refuse? Besides, we were not NPCs!
After coughing, Wu Yuan said solemnly: "Village chief, in my opinion, the spirit of the mountain monster can be used to upgrade sword and shield soldiers, such as Song Dachui, and at the same time, the mace can be included in the upgrade. If any of them has a high affinity with the mountain monster, the mace may be strengthened, but the probability is too low."
"As for the spirit of the deer demon lord, village chief, are you sure you don't want to use it yourself? The deer demon has been confirmed to have several powerful summoning spells."
Wu Yuan asked sincerely.
"Don't talk nonsense. If I had decided to use it myself, why would I ask you?" Zhang Yang waved his hand irritably. If the population wasn't so small, well, don't mention the population.
"If that's the case, I suggest that the Deer Demon Lord's demon soul be used to upgrade the elite archers, because I think the elite archers and the Deer Demon Soul are more compatible."
"What do you think? Just a feeling?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Yes, village chief, in fact, when it comes to using demon souls to strengthen and improve, other factors are not important. The most important thing is the compatibility. If you don't believe me, just take out those two demon souls and let them sense it. You will know after a try." Wu Yuan looked very confident.
"Then there's no need to try." Zhang Yang waved his hand and said readily. He originally wanted to ask Wu Yuan for advice.
"Song Dachui, Wang Mumu, Duan Kuan, Zhou Datou, the four of you elite sword and shield soldiers go and bring that mace over. We'll see who among you has the luck to use it in a little while."
"As for the demon soul of the Great Horned Deer Lord, it can upgrade ten people in total, so there will be six places for elite archers and four places for elite spearmen."
Zhang Yang was very proud and high-spirited. He promoted fourteen captain-level soldiers in one go. The combat effectiveness of his village immediately increased several times.
"Village Chief, I have something to say!"
This time, it was the elite archer Qin Yidao who shouted anxiously, "Can we postpone the promotion of these six elite archers? We need to make some qualified feather arrows first, and then strengthen them. You also know that if these archers do not have feather arrows, their combat effectiveness will be equal to zero."
"Oh, how about this specifically? What do you need?" Zhang Yang was in a good mood and of course he would oblige any request.
"Thank you, Village Chief! You are so wise!"
Qin Yidao actually learned to flatter, but his next sentence revealed his true colors. "We need all the red eagle feathers as the feathers, all the wolf teeth, bear teeth, and leopard teeth as the arrowheads, and we need Wu Yuan to cut the most suitable arrow shafts for us. Only in this way can we make the best eagle feather armor-piercing arrows."
"Okay! No problem!"
Zhang Yang agreed without hesitation, because he also wanted to know whether the captain-level archer was still so disappointing?
