[Friend Chat!]
[Liliana_P] [My town hall is under attack. CL_Ellise brought more troops]
[Caleb] [What kind of troops are they?]
[Liliana_P] [15x militia units and 10x light swordsman]
[Liliana_P] [I don't want to die. Help me, Caleb]
'It looks like CL_Ellise got the 10x light swordsman troops from the treasure cave exploration. With her troop capacity, it will be difficult for her to defend her city,' Caleb replied.
'What should I do? The town hall can be destroyed, but it won't make the player die. Still, the chances of the player dying are higher if there's nowhere for her to go,' said Caleb.
In between all this trouble, Caleb remembered a way that might save Liliana, at least keep her safe from CL_Ellise's threats.
[Friend Chat!]
[Caleb] [I have a second town hall in the west. You go there and bring all your army units]
[Liliana_P] [What do you mean?]
[Caleb] [There's a chance that CL_Ellise is coming to destroy your town hall. You can't keep defending it]
[Caleb] [Attack my second town hall and enter the place. You will get the instruction to annex the town hall]
[Caleb] [Our relationship will become enemies by system, but I won't attack you back]
[Caleb] [At least, you can start over in that town hall]
[Liliana_P] [Will that work?]
[Caleb] [Yes. I'll withdraw my troops from there. You can take it without a fight]
[Liliana_P] [I understand]
The annexation option will occur if two things happen. First, the player who owns the town hall was defeated.
Second, the enemy player occupies the town hall while the previous owner was still alive. Liliana must take the second option, it is to support her life in this game.
[UNIT INFO]
[Unit Name: Militia]
[Quantity: 10x]
[Train: Infantry]
[Def Stance -> Idle Stance]
Caleb selected the troops that occupied the second town hall, especially the militia unit that settled there. He ordered the 10x militia units back to the first town hall by changing their stance to Idle.
From the game map direction, the red dot began to move up north leaving RedLotus505's town hall.
The man also withdrew his troops from the south, to return to the first town hall. Currently, all troop concentrations were centered in the main town hall.
'Now, none of my troop units are in the western town hall. Liliana_P will easily conquer the place,' Caleb explained.
[One incoming message!]
Another incoming message was received by Caleb. He quickly pressed the pop-up panel and watched as player Great_Dao sent a message to confirm Caleb's attitude.
[Sender: Great_Dao]
[Kingdom Name: _Demonic_sect_666]
[Hey, loser. Did you read my message? Stay out of this. I could destroy your town in a single night. Remember that!]
'He's really annoying. So, this is what it's like when I have an annoying neighbor like him?' Caleb complained.
[Recipient: Great_Dao]
[Kingdom Name: _Demonic_sect_666]
[Stop calling me a loser! Do you want your head cut off?! I won't deal with your problems. Do you understand, bastard?]
[Message sent]
Caleb did not hesitate to vent his frustration to the player, after all, the tension given here was much more intense and stressful than when playing on PC —because it involved lives.
From the game map, Caleb saw that Liliana's town hall had been destroyed, leaving nothing but ruins. Caleb was right, CL_Ellise had no intention of annexing the town hall.
Liliana's figure disappeared in the mist, Caleb couldn't know precisely where she was. But if she listened to his advice, then she would arrive at the town hall in the west.
Two hours passed, two notifications appeared before Caleb. The first notification was about the increase of villagers and the second notification was about 10 houses being completed.
[DING! Construction is complete]
[Building:]
[10 Houses Level 1]
[Villagers have been created]
[Number of Villagers: 10]
[Villagers limit: 124/155] [+10]
[Idle Villager: 52] [+10]
"That's good. Now, I'm just waiting for the idle villagers to be trained as First Swordsman or First Bowman," Caleb explained.
He looked at the top of the player dashboard, the construction of the two military buildings was 60% complete, only two hours left until it was fully built.
Caleb pressed the icon of the Infantry Camp building. He saw that there was a new technology that hadn't been researched yet.
The research was useful for the new units in the Infantry Camp, the First Swordsman unit.
[Technology Research]
[Technology Type: Military]
[Building: Infantry Camp]
[Technology Name: First Swordsman]
[Cost: 300 wood || 500 food || 300 gold || 150 stone]
[First Swordsman Unit unlocked]
[Research Time:]
[00:05:59:59]
Six hours were needed to complete the First Swordsman's research. Caleb could not create the unit first, unlike the Leather Equipment technology that focused on increasing the unit's status.
First Swordsman technology was a technology to unlock new units. Logically, the unit cannot be created first if there was no option to create the unit.
At least, with those six hours, Liliana would arrive at the western town hall and annex the place. She might have to start building houses and population, but the town hall level would still adjust to the annexing player —town hall level 2.
Sure enough, Caleb saw a red dot appear around the western town hall. Liliana ordered her troop units to charge forward, as she tried to reach the town hall.
Liliana managed to reach the town hall, went inside and long-pressed the building's icon. The options for annexation and their consequences were clearly displayed.
The woman chose the annexation option. With that, another panel appeared before Caleb as a sign that one of his town halls had switched hands.
[WARNING!]
[2nd Town Hall has been annexed]
[Relationship with Liliana_P]
[Neutral -> Enemy]
"That's good. At least, she has found her new home again," Caleb said.
Caleb opened the diplomacy menu and changed Liliana's status from enemy to neutral. He also informed Liliana about this, so that the two would not attack each other even though the troop unit's stance was idle stance.
[Status changed]
[Player: Liliana_P]
[Enemy -> Neutral]
[Friend Chat!]
[Liliana_P] [Thank you for helping me again, Caleb]
[Caleb] [Try to build a large unit of troops. What happened to you that they're targeting you?]
[Liliana_P] [I don't know. I don't remember making enemies with them]
[Caleb] [Maybe they're trying to attack you because you're the weakest]
[Caleb] [It's okay. As long as your town hall is close to me, I can protect you easily]
[Liliana_P] [I don't want to keep troubling you. I'll do my best]
