It was midnight when we returned.
The sky is full of stars and the fields are quiet.
There is a faint aroma of green grass lingering on the nose, and a breeze blows, which makes people feel refreshed.
There are bonfires on the city wall in the distance, and no patrolling soldiers can be seen, but this is normal. Why should people see it? Just make sure there are no blind spots.
At least Zhang Yang knew that at least three pairs of eyes had noticed them at this moment.
"Let's take a walk and see if these guys are lazy?"
Zhang Yang casually said that as long as he returned to the village, his mood would be twice as good, as if no matter how big the matter was, it would be no big deal.
Along the training ground, I walked past the houses, listening to the subtle snoring, talking in sleep, and gritting my teeth. It was really a lively night.
A level 5 residential house appeared in the northernmost part. It was obviously completed recently. There is no one living in it yet, but it should be soon. With the village starting to have three children, many families will need to divide it again by next year at most. Home.
Zhang Yang walked through each house without getting bored at all, and listened for a while in each house, checking the attributes in the village building order. He now remembered the name, personality, characteristics, and other features of each villager. human relationships, and what work is.
He used to sneak out in the middle of the night to do this, but this had nothing to do with being obscene. He just wanted to listen to the villagers' thoughts and wishes, and then based on these, he would make fine adjustments to what they were dissatisfied with.
It is no exaggeration to say that he did not miss every detail.
"Wang Erma and his wife Li Honghua quarreled again, but not to the point of taking action. It seems that the village talent Yourong Naida needs to be further upgraded. Otherwise, according to this progress, sooner or later Li Honghua will give Wang Erma Put on a hat, and then be killed by Wang Erma."
Zhang Yang thought about it, and wrote down the reason for the quarrel between Wang Erma and Li Honghua, and asked Wang Shen to fine-tune it tomorrow. That was all he could do for the time being.
"Huh?"
When he walked to a level 4 residence, Zhang Yang was suddenly startled, and then frowned slightly. The next second, a gray shadow like mist floated out of the residence and kowtowed to him.
"You no longer stay in your mountain temple, why did you come out?"
Zhang Yang asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, there are good believers in the village who have made wishes, so the little god came to see how he can help?"
"Who made the wish? What wish did you make?"
"Sir, the person who made the wish is Zhang Sangan. The wish he made is to give birth to a fat son."
"Well, can you help him give birth to a son?"
"The adults are joking, but the little gods can't."
"Then what can you help with?"
"Back to your lord, Zhang Sangan's wife is weak and has a hidden disease. However, the place where his family lives is too far away from the Wood Demon Tower in the castle, so they cannot use the Wood Demon Tower to gain vitality. Little God That’s why he comes here every midnight to try his best to gather energy for his wife, but the little god’s power is so weak that it will take a whole month to complete it.”
"Okay, I understand, you can go about your business."
Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, not intending to interfere with the mountain god's collection of beliefs.
This mountain god is different from the ghost priest. It is not a race in a simple sense. The original aura and divinity were formed by relying on the human race. Even the clay sculpture of the mountain god in the temple is in the shape of Zhao Xiaoer.
The ghost priest really belongs to the abyss ghost clan, and cannot form a good relationship with the villagers. This is very dangerous, so Zhang Yang would rather kill it than to get short-term benefits.
The mountain god is different. His power comes from the incense and beliefs of the villagers, so this creates an invisible restriction.
No matter whether it is three hundred years or five hundred years, this kind of benign transaction will not deteriorate.
Of course, Zhang Yang also needs to be guided. For example, only villagers will fear the mountain god. Soldiers, even the most ordinary soldiers, do not need to fear the mountain god. The future elite population of the village, as long as they have the conditions, need to join the army. In this way, they can The belief in mountain gods creates a safe state of keeping a distance.
Of course, Zhang Yang will continue to follow up on this matter and make fine adjustments at any time.
Walking out of the residential area, you will see a three-meter-high stone city wall in front of you. It seems that Wu Yuan, Wang Shen and the others have not relaxed their construction of this wall these days.
In fact, this city wall should be built 1,000 meters away, covering all the fields including the tavern. It is planned to be completed before next summer. Unfortunately, the ghosts in winter had to make Zhang Yang change his mind temporarily.
Climbing the city wall, you will see Qin Yidao waiting here. He is the leader of the night watch tonight.
This night watch system was also formulated with the consultation of Zhang Yang, Wu Yuan and others.
Except for Liu Dali and Sun Goudan, who were used for daily air defense, the other four, Wu Yuan, Lei En, Wang Shen, and Qin Yidao, all took turns on night duty.
Nowadays, the number of troops in the village is very abundant.
There are a total of 31 archer captains, 74 infantry captains, 24 mad swordsmen, 42 elite soldiers, and 60 new recruits in training.
So every night there will be 50 soldiers, either in groups of two, or in groups of three, or in groups alone, each looking for a hidden spot to watch the night. The heroes on night watch will randomly check. With this kind of vigilance, there is nothing to worry about.
"Sir, you are finally back."
There was great surprise in Qin Yidao's tone, but he suppressed it.
Zhang Yang knew what he wanted to do, which was to bring bad luck to the orc tribe.
"Don't worry, before winter comes, I will give you a chance to avenge your shame."
"And you, Duan Kuan, the extraordinary trial is not a panacea. It is more like a harsher, more dangerous, and more challenging battle. It leaves you isolated and helpless, and puts you at death's door. You have to forget about life and death and let go. It takes one fight to break through your own shackles. From tomorrow on, you won’t need to participate in other things, including the night watch. Just prepare for this battle."
"Thank you for your help, sir."
Duan Kuan was not as excited as Qin Yidao. The previous experience in the extraordinary trial had worn away his arrogance, but not his pride. At least at this moment, he was not as aggressive as the blade of a long knife as before. , but more restrained, calmer, and more terrifying!
Qin Yidao was obviously a few points behind. Even though he was already a three-star hero, he was asking at this moment, "Sir, this is very different from the strategy we set before."
"It doesn't matter. Since the orc tribe blocks our development path, we can just kick it away."
Zhang Yang said lightly, this was something he had decided a day ago. At that time, he figured out that instead of waiting for the orc tribe to become stronger, or waiting for the orc tribe to come over to do it, it would be better to kill him quickly. Messy.
And starting the war at that time would have several benefits.
First of all, before winter comes, that is when ghosts and ghosts are about to break out. At that time, the orc tribe will not think that anyone would dare to attack it.
Secondly, the orc tribe raises many imps, ghost assassins, and ghost priests. Therefore, in normal times, regardless of the three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn, no one can quietly approach the orc tribe. This is also the most hateful thing about these ghost tribes. , you were noticed by them without even knowing it.
But in winter, with the cautious character of the orc lord, Zhang Yang dared to swear by his own name that that guy would definitely lock up his ghost soldiers.
Third, in winter, in order to prevent the attack of the ghosts and ghosts, the orc tribe must take some specific defensive measures. These defensive measures are effective against the ghosts and ghosts, but they are not very effective against Zhang Yang.
As for the fourth advantage, Zhang Yang still has a complete devil-horned lizard demon soul in his hand, and it is a lord-level one.
When he was at Bald Ridge Fortress, he had been reluctant to use it because he was afraid that the enemy would notice the fluctuations in his advancement.
But after coming back, there was no problem. Zhang Yang felt that he could raise the soul strength from A- to level A, but of course the other attributes could only stay where they were.
After walking around the unfinished city wall, Wu Yuan, Ren En, and Wang Shen came after hearing the news. Even though they were not on duty at night, how could they continue to sleep in when the boss was back
Of course, Liu Dali and Sun Goudan are exceptions.
Zhang Yang also became interested at this time. In addition to telling him to launch an attack on the orc tribe before and after winter, he also formulated some future development strategies for the village.
"The forest must continue to be cut down. I hope that within 20 miles around the village, the tree survival rate will not exceed 10%."
"The construction of the city wall cannot stop and must be completed before winter."
"The reclamation of wild farmland cannot be left behind. In addition to encouraging villagers to reclaim their own land, the reclamation of official farmland is even more important. I hope that the total amount of farmland in our village will reach 10,000 acres before winter."
"What? We don't have enough manpower. It's simple. It's time to bring out those big-horned deer mounts and let them plow the land. With their size and tonnage, they can cultivate at least fifty acres a day."
"As for the water source problem in the village, wells can be dug for drinking water, but for farmland irrigation, a canal must be dug and diverted from the river thirty miles away!"
Zhang Yang's series of plans made Wu Yuan, Wang Shen and others' eyes turn black. Brother, this is a primeval forest. Are you kidding me
How can we ensure safety when we are so far away from the village
Oh, yes, after killing the orc tribe, the area within a few hundred miles will be completely safe.
But what to do with the huge amount of work
As far as the current population of the village is concerned-
"Since the orc tribe is so large, there should be a large number of ordinary orcs who are captured as slaves. Why, you can't even do the work of supervisors?"
Zhang Yang sneered, while Wu Yuan and others broke into a cold sweat, thinking to themselves that the village chief was doing something wrong, but this was a good suggestion.
But they didn't know that Zhang Yang had been thinking silently in his heart, not to rush, not to rush.
The above things were all considered by him carefully.
Village development can no longer be the same as in the past, where we just have to solve problems whenever we encounter them.
For example, the imminent food problem is the first thing Zhang Yang needs to solve.
Whether it is cultivating 10,000 acres of farmland, exterminating the orc tribe, or diverting river water, they are all closely related and constitute a complete set of plans.
As long as this step is completed, there will be no constraints on the future development of the village.
