Online Games Barbarism and Civilization
v2 Chapter 148: , Choice (2)
On April 21st of the second year of Savage, after returning to the game, Ning Yuan began to plan the next development direction of the territory.
Originally, Ning Yuan intended to steadily fight and expand outward step by step, but after experiencing Ouyang Yichen’s stimulation, Ning Yuan discovered that although steadfast and stable fight is the best development model, all of this is based on the absence of a strong enemy invasion .
If a strong enemy invades, then this steady development model will fall into a fully passive state.
The foundation of the Shenying Neck is relatively weak. Once the production of the territory is in a state of complete stagnation, all of Ning Yuan's previous efforts will be in vain, and the Shenying Neck he has worked so hard to build will undergo a major regression.
Although Ning Yuan guessed that the Palace of Gods and the Sun Moon God Cult would not be able to attack him, but he must know that the enemies he has to face are not only these two guilds. In this world, there are countless player lords who are greedy for his territory. .
Although for various reasons, until now, no player coalition has attacked the plane of condor, but no one can guarantee that no player coalition will invade the plane of condor in the future.
And with Ning Yuan's ambitions, he will definitely continue to rob him in the future. When the resources and natural wonders in his territory further increase, there will definitely be player lords who cannot withstand the temptation to attack him.
So in order not to be caught off guard by the enemy, Ning Yuan definitely can no longer have the fluke mentality he used to, because he can't afford the price.
Although barbarism and civilization can be regarded as a farming game of management and construction, war is the main theme of this game.
If you don't have enough strength, even if you can build the territory well, it doesn't make any sense, because the enemy only needs to launch an invasion war and it will ruthlessly take everything from you.
For war, the most important thing is the army, so if Ning Yuan wants to be prepared, he must have a large army and then train this army to be elite. Only in this way can his territory be self-protected. capital.
The Condor collar now has more than 25,000 human soldiers, more than 17,000 elven soldiers, more than 15,000 dwarf soldiers, and more than 27,000 orc soldiers of various kinds, with a total strength of 84, 000. More than a thousand people.
After removing the fox people, swan people, and rat people who are not very effective, the condor has nearly 70,000 combatable soldiers.
The 70,000 army is already a little scary at this stage. After all, when the Palace of the Gods and the Sun Moon God Sect competed for the Colorful Harvest Mountain, the number of their coalition troops was only a few hundred thousand.
Although there are a lot of 70,000 troops, Ning Yuan now has five cities to defend, so if he wants to go out to invade, the actual number of troops he can mobilize is still very limited.
The Shenying City is the main city of the Shenying Lord, and all of Ning Yuan's family is here, so the Shenying City must stay at least 20,000 standing troops.
As the outermost cities, White Horse City and Iron Furnace City have a much higher chance of directly facing invaders than the other three cities, so each city must have at least 8,000 standing troops.
Nanmu City and Eagle Horse City are hub cities, and they have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting other cities, so each city must have at least five thousand standing troops.
The standing army of the five cities alone required 46,000 men, and the number of troops that Ning Yuan could deploy at will was only 24,000 men.
Although the 24,000 people seem to be quite a lot, if the Weiguo side can call for reinforcements, then in terms of the number of troops, the more than 20,000 people is really not enough.
Now the player lords in the Bronze Age have learned to rape, in order to avoid being used by powerful enemies to declare war with the declaration of war tokens, few people now use the war free tokens.
Anyway, the enemy doesn't know whether they have a help token in their hands, and if they want to get the truth, they must invade and inspect it personally.
And single-player invasion is very dangerous in the Bronze Age. If you are not careful, you may never be able to return home. Therefore, when facing those planes that don't have war-free tokens, player lords rarely invade alone. All gangs formed an invading coalition.
In this way, even if the final invasion fails, they will have a high probability of being able to escape.
Because of the above reasons, although no player came to invade Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan couldn't find any plane suitable for invading. It would be difficult for him to meet the cheap ones like David Lewis.
And the most important thing is that as the strength of the Shenying Ling continues to increase, Ningyuan's territory will soon enter the feudal era.
The condition for entering the feudal age from the Bronze Age is to have five cities, the total population of the tribe to reach 200,000, and the number of soldiers to exceed 20,000.
The Shenying Ning in Ningyuan now has more than 185,000 civilians of all ethnic groups. Together with the number of troops, the total population has reached 270,000, which is fully in line with the population conditions for entering the feudal era.
As long as the other four cities are completely completed, he will immediately enter the feudal era.
Once the Eagles entered the feudal era, it would be even more difficult for Ning Yuan to find a target, because after entering the feudal era, the rules of plane warfare will continue to change.
The war in the feudal age was called the war of empires. The duration of the war was one year. The invaders could choose to retreat on the thirtieth day, otherwise they would have to wait until the end of the one-year war before destroying the defending side.
In the plane war of the feudal age, the retreat node was on the thirtieth day, and the war period was one year.
One year is nothing terrible. After all, if there is no deep hatred between the two parties, it is impossible to die for a year, but the retreat node is extended to the thirtieth day, which is a bit terrible.
Thirty days of game time, converted into real time, is three days, so there is no need to wait until the 30th day. The intruder's plane may be invaded by other player lords on the eleventh day.
After all, the defending party is not obligated to keep secrets for the invading party, and they probably want others to rush to invade the invading party’s plane, so that they can slowly fight the invading party at a war of attrition. .
However, it seems that in the feudal age, the probability of plane wars is much smaller than that of the Bronze Age.
As far as Ning Yuan knew, it seemed that there had not been a war between the player lords who had entered the feudal era.
They are now working hard to open up their respective planes, and there is no time to fight other people's ideas.
It is as if all the player lords who have entered the feudal era have formed a tacit understanding. Everyone is immersed in development, and no one comes out to take the initiative to take the initiative. Therefore, the players jokingly call the feudal era the era of peace.
Now, there are two paths before Ning Yuan.
One is to deliberately stop the construction of a city, allow oneself to stay in the Bronze Age, and then continue to expand the size of the army led by the condor, keep invading other planes, plundering population and resources.
One is to speed up the entry into the feudal era, and then use the peaceful characteristics of the feudal era to allow the Shenying to enter a stage of peaceful development.
If he chooses to stay in the Bronze Age, Ning Yuan can continue to plunder population resources, but because there is no fifth city, he can only continue to expand the other four cities.
When the population of the territory reached saturation, he could only continue to expand outward. The final result is likely to be that he owns four huge cities and countless villages and towns scattered everywhere.
At this time, once the flames of war hit the plane of the Condor Eagle, Ning Yuan is likely to lose more than half of the territory’s population and a large amount of resources overnight, because he cannot move everyone to the four cities in a short time. And the four cities can't hold so many people.
At that time, the enemy will not have to attack the city at all. They only need to turn around outside the city to obtain a large amount of population and resources. Ning Yuan's previous efforts are equivalent to helping others work for free.
And if you want to keep the fruits of your labor ~lightnovelpub.net~, you must constantly build the city, because only Jiancheng can withstand the enemy's attack, so it is not good to force yourself to stay in the Bronze Age. Idea, it is likely to slow down the development of the territory.
If you choose to enter the feudal era, then the Shenying Ling will be able to usher in a relatively safe development environment. At that time, Ning Yuan can confidently and boldly develop the plane of the Shenying, and there is one of the greatest benefits of the feudal era, that is You can build a teleportation array in the city.
Although the teleportation array is automatically closed in the state of war, it can make people quickly from one city to another city in a non-war state, allowing the two cities to circulate resources quickly. The emergence of the teleportation array will reduce Will greatly increase the development speed of the territory.
Moreover, in the feudal era, it is not completely impossible to invade others. If you have absolute confidence in your own territory, you can continue to go out and invade.
The player lords of the feudal age are much wealthier than the player lords of the Bronze Age. As the saying goes, it doesn't open for three years and eats for three years.
A player plane of the feudal age is enough to be worthy of the player planes of seven or eight Bronze Ages. As long as one can successfully win one, it is basically equivalent to an overnight rich.
Therefore, the transition from the Bronze Age to the Feudal Age is an inevitable process of the continuous development and growth of the territory. The player lords only need to let the flow take place, and there is no need to deliberately change anything.
After trying to understand all of this, Ning Yuan decided to let everything go.
Anyway, as long as he is strong, he can go out and invade at any time. It does not make much difference to him in what era he is in, because as long as he can eliminate the enemy, the retreat node and the war period will have no effect.
