[Liliana_P] [Congratulations on your ranking. I wonder how you were able to increase your kingdom power so much?"]
[Caleb] [Maybe I got lucky to find some troop units while exploring the treasure caves]
[Liliana_P] [Did you explore many treasure caves? That's amazing! I want to be like you]
[Caleb] [You don't need to try to be like me. You just need to focus on your aim of becoming a Farmer Player]
[Caleb] [I'll take care of you. So, you don't have to worry]
[Liliana_P] [Alright]
Caleb looked forward, seeing the production of the First Swordsman unit in progress, as well as the First Bowman.
From their unit production duration, Caleb could confirm that he would get the two troop units within the next four hours.
From the player rankings appearing in front of Caleb, only five of the seven players were ranked at the top.
There was a possibility that the 6th rank was John with the username D_Destroyer and the last rank was Liliana_P.
[Friend Chat!]
[D_Destroyer] [Hey, I saw the announcement panel. I didn't realize you were so strong. I'm honored to be your friend]
[Caleb] [Thank you. If I may know, how many KPs do you have?]
[D_Destroyer] [About 1200. I haven't done much technological research, especially in the economic sector]
'It's fair that he only has a strength of 1200, he hasn't done anything on the technology in his city. If he had done it earlier, maybe he would have appeared in the top five, overtaking Great_Dao,' Caleb explained.
[Caleb] [Every player has their own strategy. I won't comment on that]
[D_Destroyer] [Thank you, Caleb]
The situation was calm and peaceful in RustyAxe's town hall, hordes of monsters were indeed spotted pacing back and forth, but there was no Monster Chaos Event happening lately.
Caleb only hoped that the event would happen if he had built the stone wall, otherwise, the monster attacks on his town would be fatal.
'Stone hall will appear on level 4 or 5 of the town hall. I have to raise TH level immediately so that my town can be well protected,' Caleb explained.
Time passed quickly, Caleb was inside his town hall lying down to rest.
By now, it was almost half past nine in the evening, it should be time for the notification panel to pop up about the completed production unit.
[DING! Congratulations on completing technology research]
[Technology Type: Economic]
[Technology: Long Range Vision]
[Range: 13m -> 17m] [+7]
[Building: Town Hall]
[Kingdom Power: 6550] [+500]
The notification panel finally appeared before Caleb, the man had been eagerly waiting for the panel. But what he saw was different.
The panel informed Caleb about the technology research that had been completed. The technology came from the town hall building, where the ATK and DEF range increased to 17m from the original 13m.
Moreover, with the placement of commander Arash The Archer inside the town hall, the range of the town hall would increase greatly thanks to the buff given by the commander.
That way, the addition thanks to the buff from commander Arash The Archer makes the ATK and DEF range of the town hall increase significantly.
Now, the town hall's defense mechanism was able to attack enemy troop units 24m away from the town center.
'The increase in ATK and DEF range makes the entire town reachable. I don't need to put a few more troops to guard the borders,' Caleb explained.
From the game map, he looked to the west where several buildings were being constructed by Liliana, ranging from houses, economic sector buildings, to the military.
Liliana seemed to want to catch up with other players, she was also reluctant to continue to depend on Caleb.
[DING! Congratulations because the troop unit has been created]
[Unit: First Swordsman]
[Number: 10]
[Kingdom Power: 6750] [+2000]
With the number of troop units created being 10, the Infantry Camp will take a large number of idle villagers to be used as troops.
The total number of idle villagers Caleb had in his town reached 54 people, as it continued to grow in number every two hours.
Even so, turning idle villagers into troops was not a bad investment. Besides being useful for increasing the city's defense, these troops were also created for the purpose of invasion.
That's right! The original purpose of creating the First Swordsman unit was to help Caleb succeed in his invasion of the Great_Dao Kingdom.
Great_Dao was Caleb's second target before he destroyed CL_Ellise. The long distance to CL_Ellise's town hall made Caleb didn't want to take any risks.
By destroying Great_Dao, then he could be safe when making a big invasion to the south, destroying CL_Ellise.
"I have many idle villagers, as well as abundant resources," Caleb replied.
He stepped out of the town hall and stood right before the place. Caleb glanced to the side, looking at the Infantry Camp that had finished producing First Swordsman units.
"I will prioritize the invasion force units to the infantry. I'll have the First Bowman stand guard at the town hall," Caleb explained.
Caleb pressed the icon of the Infantry Camp building, once again producing the large number of First Swordsman units he needed. This time, he needed a lot of First Swordsman units.
[Unit Army Production]
[Unit Name: First Swordsman]
[Quantity: 20]
[Cost: 2000 wood || 2000 food || 1000 gold]
[Unit production duration:]
[00:06:39:59]
In total, producing around 20 units of First Swordsman required quite a lot of resources. But, that wasn't a problem because Caleb had more resources.
Not only that, the production duration also became longer to adjust the production duration per unit. Currently, it was nine o'clock at night, so to get all the production units, Caleb had to wait until 4am.
'This way, I can continue to rest and wait for everything to run and finish as per the system,' said Caleb.
[DING! Congratulations that a troop unit has been created]
[Unit: First Bowman]
[Number: 15]
[Kingdom Power: 6800] [+2250]
The First Bowman unit was successfully produced and appeared at the Archery Camp checkpoint.
Just like the First Swordsman, the First Bowman unit also took some idle villagers to make them a new unit of troops.
With such a large number, Caleb can take out the Militia unit previously assigned inside the town hall to return to the field.
The First Bowman would be permanently assigned to guard the town hall with Commander Arash The Archer.
Speaking of the town hall, Caleb looked at the status of the town hall which had yet to learn any more technology. There was one technology left to learn, it was the Production Wheelbarrow.
Without thinking, Caleb pressed the technology menu and confirmed to research the technology immediately. Another panel appeared before Caleb responding to Caleb's confirmation.
[Technology Research]
[Technology Type: Economy]
[Building: Town Hall]
[Technology Name: Production Wheelbarrow]
[Cost: 200 wood || 300 food || 150 gold]
[Increase worker efficiency by 10%]
[Research Time:]
[00:05:59:59]
Caleb could breathe a sigh of relief. He thought the research duration would be much longer than the production of the First Swordsman unit, but in fact it was much faster.
With all this, Caleb could rest peacefully while waiting for tomorrow, when the unit production was completed and the technology research was successful.
"Maybe I should start leveling up the town hall tomorrow, right when everything I need is done."
