Chapter 17: Starting a New Game
Chapter 17: Starting a New Game
Now the snow is flying, the sky is freezing, Owen can’t make any big move, after all, this weather out is just looking for death, so there can’t be any large number of people and supplies door to door, otherwise it is an insult to Maya’s intelligence.
It is just that he can take a good rest, at the same time summarize the achievements of this period of time, for the next development to make a draft, after all, even worse planning is planning, can not be because of the reasons for repeated revisions will not do, at least do the planning brain will have a general direction, even if the revision knows how to modify.
In fact, the planning is not difficult to do, today’s territory is a few hundred mouths of people, everything is missing, all he has to do is to look at the first to fill that part of the vacancy.
But because of the lack of everything, so he often dry dry on the subject, this Owen also has no way, because the territory is too poor, he is like carrying a bag of cement want to build a room, put there are not enough.
Well, his efforts are not in vain, this year the serfs of the territory because the construction of the village will not freeze to death too many people, this is a good thing, and so on next year before the spring to buy some serfs, so that manpower will be more adequate, after all, the territory is big, no one can not.
With sufficient manpower, under the leadership of the system farmers to learn more advanced farming techniques, coupled with the metal farming tools produced by the blacksmith store, no accident, next year, the territory will usher in a bumper harvest, then you need to prepare for war in advance.
In the northern border, a good harvest is not necessarily a good thing, because it will attract many bandits, they will take everything away, and don’t expect them to leave rations or even seeds, this is also the reason why the northern border is never developed, because there are too many bandits, and many times your neighbors are the most dangerous, and will send you to hell, otherwise, Owen doesn’t bury his head in the ground to plant his fields, and also accumulate soldiers for what.
But right now Owen is not afraid, because by the time next year’s fall harvest, the territory’s troop strength will still be at least doubled, enough to protect his wealth.
Nowadays, the number of soldiers in the territory was already quite considerable, with twenty swordsmen, twenty foot archers, eight spear-wielding natives and twelve spearmen, as well as four scout cavalrymen and ten breastplate cavalrymen, except for the lack of knights, the combat power was already comparable to the peak of Hydra I. Owen was not afraid of this, because by next year’s autumn harvest, the strength of the territory would be at least doubled, enough to protect his wealth.
This military force was enough to take down any baron’s territory in the Northland border, even a Viscount would be like an enemy, it was a force that Owen was proud of.
But the price was that more than a hundred progress values were gone, which was his accumulation of close to three months.
At the same time dozens of artisans and farmers, a considerable amount of supplies, another tens of progress value.
There was also the Wooden Village in the Magic Horn Forest, where there were now twenty farmers, ten longswordsmen, ten crossbowmen, and four scouts, also a not weak force, but also cost him dozens of progress points.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the recovery speed was getting faster and faster after the progress value cap reached twenty, he wouldn’t have been able to accumulate such a large amount.
It could be said that Owen’s accumulation for the past half year was all here, and this was the capital that allowed him to spend the winter in peace.
However, not using the progress value during this period of cat winter was a waste, so Owen wanted to find a reasonable direction to utilize it.
With something on his mind, Owen decided not to stay in bed today, although the wind was still howling outside the closed window, and he still opened his eyes with great perseverance, but it was still so cold.
The whole castle is a stone, which has the role of insulation, Owen after the conditions, the first to let people repair the doors and windows, so that at least you will not hear the wind blowing in from the wide gap, take away the heat that is not much.
As a lord, Owen’s conditions are naturally better, not only do the doors and windows close tightly, there are also heavy curtains to block the cold air, directly opposite the place of the gorgeous bed there is also a fireplace, finally the indoor temperature will be maintained at a tolerable level.
In fact, Owen is just pretentious, compared to those in the cold wind shivering serfs, he is simply living in paradise. Only from thrift to luxury easy, used to the better and better life, naturally can not eat the bitter.
Pulled the rope on the side, the bell next door rang, and Maya, who had long been ready, walked in.
First to the fireplace to add two pieces of dry wood, raise the temperature of the room, and then picked up a side of the copper pot, the temperature of the water inside is just right, poured into the copper basin to facilitate Owen wash his face and brush his teeth.
After washing up and changing clothes, Char brought in breakfast.
Hot oatmeal, freshly baked bread, bacon and fried eggs, this is Owen’s breakfast.
After breakfast, Owen moved his arms and legs indoors, did a set of radio gymnastics, and when his body was warmed up he came to the study alone.
Closing the door, Owen pulled out a stack of parchment from the hidden compartment, these are the contents of the game he organized, mainly riding and hacking and the age of empire, from the troop types, buildings to resources, all organized in the book, because of the use of Chinese characters, not afraid to be seen, even if there is a magical understanding of the language, it is also very difficult to see what the problem is.
These two games provide Owen with a large number of troop types, buildings and resources to choose from, if you are simply a lord, just these two games are enough, but the problem is that this world is not simple.
Owen learned from Maya where this world existed transcendent powers, fighting spirit, magic, miracles, orcs, elves, demons, all of these existed.
As for why he had never seen it, the reason was simple, in the big city engineers and programmers could only be considered as ordinary professions, very common, but would they go to a remote mountain village that didn’t even have electricity to look for a job?
The Northland border was the edge of the edge, not even as good as the countryside of the empire, how would someone who wielded transcendent power come here.
But Owen felt compelled to defend himself, after all, with the system on his side, a mere border lord was certainly not his upper limit, which meant that attracting transcendental power was a matter of time, so he planned to make some preparations in advance.
When the progress value is ten points, most of the games that are open do not involve transcendent power, although the monks and holy relics of the imperial era involve transcendence, but the progress value for redemption is above ten points.
It was only after the progress value reached twenty points that the transcendent realm was initially opened to Owen.
The problem was that he couldn’t afford to look at the low-end transcendent powers, and he couldn’t afford to redeem the high-end ones, so although it had been a while, Owen still hadn’t selected one.
Like heroes invincible, warcraft, dark broken ring god and so on now don’t even want to think about it, one to set the background is too grandiose, the second power ceiling is too high, has reached the realm of god, not at all now this point of progress value can be opened, can only look for those although with some mysterious elements, but the ceiling is not high game.
For example, Super Farm, Zombies, Rebuild Dungeon, Puppeteer, these four are the new games that Owen has painstakingly selected during this period of time, each with its own characteristics, but the ceiling is not high.
