Chapter 920 - Butterfly that entered the hand (1/2)
I raised my head to look at the dragon nest and eagle nest. Then I lowered my head and looked at the horse fields and drill fields. I couldn't help but feel delighted. Fan Shu City was a gift from the gods to [Zhan Long]. Any player base wouldn't be able to compare to Fan Shu City — just the production alone was insane. I opened the City Lord interface — Fan Shu City's stats were just so shocking and unbelievable that I felt like a king near God Mountain...
Fan Shu City (Level 10 Territory)
City Lord: Xiao Yao Zi Zai
Guardians: Chi Yu Qing and Chi Yu Han
City construction: 270
Army: 14,322
Labor: 292,881
City scale: Extra Large
City production—
Food: 1,128,810/hr
Wood: 900,000/hr
Stone: 900,000/hr
……
Moreover, the special soldier types of Fan Shu City also inherited things from Chi Yu Han. Flame Hawk Archers could come from the eagle nest, the Cliff Dragon Cavalry from the dragon nest, the Deep Freeze Cavalry from the horse stables, and the Heavy Flame Archers from the practice fields. All these buildings could conduct recruitment at the same time. The production of troops here was shocking. Moreover, Fan Shu City could produce 290 thousand resources each hour! If one followed the resources needed by the Cliff Dragon Cavalry (Gold x3,000, food x2,950, wood x3,200, stone x3,000), as long as one had enough gold, one could recruit 300 Cliff Dragon Cavalry in an hour. What kind of speed was that? As long as I was willing, if Fan Shu City focused solely on recruiting troops, I would get 7,000 Cliff Dragon Cavalry in a day!
Of course, with a closer look at the city management rules, counting the resources consumed, along with commerce usage, construction restoration, and diplomacy, roughly 50% of the production wasn't mine. However, that was enough as I could recruit 3,000 Cliff Dragon Cavalry each day.
Without saying a word, I recruited 2,000 Cliff Dragon Cavalry from the 2 million extra city resources, 2,000 Flame Hawk Archers, and 3,000 Heavy Flame Archers. It was best to use these troops to fortify the Fan Shu City defenses. As for the basic repair, we could just rely on what was given by Tian Ling City. Who knew if the Swirling Abyss City, and the Moon City NPCs would attack. I was more worried about the threat from the Sea of No Return. Lanais and Igoras saw me as a nail in their eyes, right?
I clenched my hand as I looked at the initial soldier strength of Fan Shu City. I included the new troops that I recruited so the overall strength was still okay—
Heavy Flame Archers x3,820, Deep Freeze Cavalry x2,436, Flame Hawk Archers x5,124, Cliff Dragon Cavalry x9,942.
……
In the number of troops I grasped, for attack I had the [Zhan Long] brothers. For defense, there was the Royal Army barbarian infantry unit. I would also have to depend on the Deep Freeze Cavalry, the Flame Hawk Archers, the Heavy Flame Archers and the Cliff Dragon Cavalry. As for the Swirling Abyss Light Cavalry and Iron Armored Heavy Infantry, I didn’t recruit any of these soldier types. In the past, the small amount recruited at Dragon’s Den had all died. That was fine as well as we were able to keep pure few soldier types.
Fan Shu City's current production wasn't at its limit yet. If we continued to develop, the future Fan Shu City would allow me to have 100 thousand private troops, up to even 200-300 thousand. Even the Tian Ling City NPC army all added together wouldn't be a match for Fan Shu City, right? Thinking about it, even I was frightened.
I held the Saint Heaven Jade in the bag. The jade didn't give off a cold feeling but a kind of warmth like the body heat which Pearl left.
I raised my head and looked at the sky. I held the Saint Heaven Jade and said, ”Pearl did you see? We are walking towards our dreams step by step...”
The sky was silent and there was no reply. She was just the memory implant of a certain person and she didn’t have her own life right? However, I still felt that maybe Pearl was looking at me from some place and looking at everything that I have done for her. Pearl was already dead and all I could do was continue to travel ahead alone — for her dream, for my game life, to continuously fight and win.
……
Just at this moment, there was suddenly some laughter from the guild channel. There was surprise from the crowd. Of course, the guild chatting interface changed...
Palace Decree (Flagbearer): Ah ha, finally I dug it!
Li Mu (Elder): Haha, you dug a Grade 13 or 14 metal?
Palace Decree (Flagbearer): 14 Glare Metal! Tsk tsk, there are many of them too. This Flaming God Mountain Range is a treasure mountain. F***, thankfully we snatched it back from Swirling Abyss City and Flaming Cloud City!
I laughed and also spoke in the guild channel...
Xiao Yao Zi Zai (Guild Leader): Glare Metal? Tsk tsk, what kind of tier equipment can you craft?
Palace Decree (Flagbearer): As long as I find rare enough gems, Ling'er and I are confident in making level 150 and above [Divine Tier] blades and bows.
I was really excited, ”Great, Li Mu send people to guard Flaming God Mountain Range and craft equipment and weapons that belong solely to [Zhan Long]. Also, how is the progress on the armor smiths?”
Li Mu (Elder): Armor blacksmiths and the armor crafters were all found by Qing Qian, the mechanic profession is under Wan'er.
Yue Qing Qian (Deputy Guild Leader): Brother Xiao Yao, don't worry about armor, [Zhan Long] will never fall behind.
