The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 6 Meeting in the Mountains
This is just a small episode.

Then Surin started the plan to build a blacksmith shop.

"Buy blacksmith blueprints." Surin clicked on the icon and consumed 100 gold coins.

Now that the number of dwellings has increased, gold coins have gradually increased, and they are enough now.

Of course, there will be more places to use gold coins in the future.

For example, there is also a blueprint for folk houses, which are all built with stone materials. Because the stone resources in the mountains are also abundant, and wood has other uses, so the next step may be to consider building this kind of stone house.

All the villagers are distributed according to the ratio of four to two.

Forty percent of the villagers went to collect food.

Forty percent of the villagers went to cut down trees.

Twenty percent of the villagers went to mine stone.

The priority is to ensure food. Food can not only be used for the daily consumption of villagers, but also continue to recruit villagers, so it is the most important resource.

Wood can be used to build buildings, and it consumes a lot of money. It is also a resource that is needed in large quantities.

"Build a smithy."

After purchasing the blueprints, Su Lin built a blacksmith's shop on the outermost periphery, farther away from the village center and residential buildings, so that the sound of blacksmithing would affect everyone's rest.

Consumes 100 stone and 50 wood.

Five villagers were assigned to carry wood and stone. The roof was made of wood as the top beam, and the rest were built with stone.

Under construction, took about 10 hours.

No matter what, Su Lin took a breath and went to catch up on sleep.

Before going to bed, the recruitment of villagers has not stopped, and the speed of two villagers a day can let Ma Yun issue orders on his behalf, saving the recruits from standing there stupidly.

Sleeping until the afternoon, Su Lin was woken up by the sound of the silly girl's reminder.

"The construction of the blacksmith shop (level 1) is completed, and 40 experience points are obtained."

Su Lin opened his eyes in a daze, and muttered, "It's finished?"

Stretching, shaking off the sleepy look on his face, "Go and have a look."

Easy to pack up and walk out of the village center.

After the construction of the blacksmith shop is completed, the population will increase by one, because a blacksmith will appear in it as the construction is completed.

About 40 years old, with beard, bronze skin and strong muscles.

"I have seen my lord."

Seeing Su Lin approaching, the blacksmith clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee.

"Get up."

Su Lin raised his hand to check the blacksmith's information.

Name: Ou Tiezi.

No.: 64
Age: 35 years old.

Loyalty: 100.

Skills: Elementary Forging, Elementary Armor.

"Thank you, Lord." Ou Tiezi stood up with piercing eyes. His broad palms were covered with calluses, probably from years of forging weapons.

"What kind of weapons do you know?" Su Lin asked.

"Swords, guns, swords and halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks, maces and maces, maces and hammers, sticks and sticks, kidnappers and shooting stars; those with hooks, those with points, those with blades, those with thorns, those with Emei needles, and those with chains Yes, I have all eighteen weapons... no way." Ou Tiezi looked solemn.

"Won't?"

Su Lin staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Ahem, I'm making a joke with the lord. Now I can only make three basic weapons." Ou Tiezi chuckled.

"Blacksmiths can make advanced weapons by upgrading their crafting skills. Some weapons need to buy blueprints, and villagers can also learn to craft them from blacksmiths." Sha Niu reminded in her mind.

"..."

The recruited blacksmiths will also joke openly with the Lord?

Su Lin gave him a blank look, and then clicked on the blacksmith shop (level 1) icon. It turns out that there are really weapons underneath.

Short bow (primary crafting), consumption: 2 points of wood, (every 20 bows and arrows consume 1 point of wood and 1 point of iron.)
Spear (primary crafting), consumption: 1 point of wood, 1 point of iron.

Iron sword (primary crafting), consumption: 5 iron materials.

It's a waste of resources.

The iron sword is the most expensive material, and it is really not very useful in war. When the scale increases in the future, a batch can be made for officers.

The spear does not use much iron material and can be equipped with troops on a large scale in the future.

If you don't go out to fight now, you need to fight in the wild.

Let's build some short bows, which can be equipped by villagers and used for hunting.

"After building the barracks, you can recruit militiamen. They are natural hunters, and their hunting efficiency is higher, but the efficiency of cutting and building is very low." Silly Girl reminded me friendly.

"Oh, really?"

Su Lin quickly checked and found out that the icon of the barracks was gray. After building the blacksmith shop, the icon of the barracks turned on.

Barracks blueprint (100 gold coins), consumption: 200 wood points, 200 stone points.

There are 128 gold coins left, Su Lin clicks: "Buy the blueprint of the barracks."

Choose to build the barracks next to the blacksmith shop.

It covers a relatively large area, equivalent to the location of five or six residential houses, and it would take 10 villagers a day to complete the construction.

During this time, I took two people with me to explore the south.

The north side has been explored and is a highland and plain valley.

There should be people living in the lower places to the south.

Simply tidy up and take Ma Yun and Liu Zhuang to explore in the south.

Liu Zhuang was also one of the first villagers recruited. He had a strong body and an honest face like a bodyguard.

The camp was handed over to Ma Huateng for temporary management.

I have to say that the mountain road is really difficult to walk, there is no way at all, so I can only grope forward a little bit. When walking, I also cut a few times on the tree trunk to make a mark to prevent getting lost.

The height difference is very large, so be careful when walking, otherwise it will be very dangerous to fall.

A group of birds flew by in the woods, bringing a sound of flapping their wings.

"There is someone in front." Jack Ma whispered when he heard the movement.

Following the direction Ma Yun was looking at, there were indeed two people.

He is about 20 years old, with a worn-out animal skin that has been simply cut and draped over his body.

Their hair was tied up in unknown strips, and they each carried worn-out black and yellow short bows. At first glance, they looked like hunters here.

The two hunters were curious when they saw Su Lin and others, but they didn't expect outsiders to come in from the deep mountains and wild forests.

"Why are the three here?"

Among them, the older Orion shouted when he was still some distance away.

Su Lin smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Oh, born in troubled times, the whole family moved here. The three of us, brothers and sisters, went out to find something to eat. I didn't expect to meet two of them."

The young Orion saw that although Su Lin was dressed in shabby clothes and messy hair, he still couldn't conceal that refined temperament, and something deep in his heart was attracted.

"Well, countries have been fighting for years, and every household has to serve in the military. Our village was spared in this remote mountainous area. They are all poor people." The older Orion sighed, shaking his head in the last sentence.

"Since meeting is fate, my name is Chen Fu, and this is my younger brother Chen Lu. We are hunters here. If you don't mind, come and sit in our village." Chen Fu generously invited.

During the Warring States Period, people were very hospitable, especially in these deep mountains and wild forests. It was rare to encounter outsiders because there were wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and even experienced hunters did not dare to break in alone.

It is a joy to have friends coming from afar, which is also the temperament of the hunter in the mountains.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Su Lin straightened his fingers and closed them slightly, and bowed slightly respectfully, following the etiquette of this era.

"follow me."

Chen Fu saluted back, turned around with a smile and led the way.

The younger brother Chen Lu also looked at Su Lin specifically. He seemed a little shy. He was not as outgoing as his elder brother, but rather introverted.

Seeing two or three hares and pheasants hanging from the waists of the two brothers is the harvest of this time.

What an interesting pair of brothers.

It took about half an hour to walk, and the mountain road was difficult. If it was a flat road, it might save half the time.

This mountain range is huge and sparsely populated. It is indeed a coincidence that it can be encountered.

Su Lin was tired and out of breath. He wiped the sweat from his head with his hands, and the hair and sweat were mixed and stuck to the sides of his cheeks. The indescribable beauty made the two hunters take a few more glances.

Although he was in the mountains, it was not that he had never seen a woman. After all, he had to go down the mountain to a nearby city every month to exchange the prey he caught for some necessities of life.

Nanzheng City, which is the closest to here, has a large population and many beauties, but there are very few beauties with such temperament as Su Lin.

His face is as elegant as a jade carving, and his temperament is as bold as a man's.

Such a strange woman is really rare.
