[Friend Chat]
[Caleb] [Liliana. What about your friend request to CL_Ellise?]
Through the friend chat page, Caleb wanted to know the progress of the friend request Liliana_P made to CL_Ellise. It didn't take long for a reply message to appear on the page.
[Liliana_P] [I canceled it because I heard your advice. What's wrong?]
[Caleb] [Have you ever met CL_Ellise?]
[Liliana_P] [No]
[Caleb] [I wanted to try to meet CL_Ellise. However, I'm not very close. I want you to take me to meet him.]
[Liliana_P] [Hmm. I'll try sending him a message. I hope he'll reply]
[Caleb] [Thank you]
Caleb closed the friend chat page again and stopped replying to Liliana's message. Caleb opened his inventory info while waiting for the Infantry camp construction to finish.
There, he had an item to bring up the infantry level 2 bundle. As far as Caleb remembered, the infantry level 2 was Light Swordsman. For level 1 infantry, it was militia.
'One bundle contains 10 units of troops. It's better for me to only bring up 1 bundle due to the limited population in my town,' Caleb explained.
[Item used]
[1 Infantry Level 2 Bundle]
[DING! Congratulations on getting 10 units of Light Swordsman]
[Population: 43/55] [+10]
[Kingdom Power: 2500] [+200]
A magic circle appeared before Caleb, bringing forth 10 units of Light Swordsman with light armor and low-quality iron swords.
The man smiled and nodded; the number of his troops had increased significantly.
If added with the Heavy Scout, his total number of troops reached 18 units, with 14 units in the first TH and 4 in the second TH.
'With numbers like this, I should be able to take out at least 3-4 newbie players easily,' Caleb remarked.
'No. I shouldn't be in such a hurry. I'd better keep an eye on the situation in my two THs. There must be no unexpected attacks from other players,' said Caleb.
Luckily for Caleb, he had placed several outposts in the outer area of the two THs. Outposts provided a vision range further than the Town Hall could.
There were 7 outposts in total guarding his territory. Three outposts in the north, three outposts in the south, and an outpost in the west.
That way, when other players want to attack, they will be detected through the outpost. This can make it easier for Caleb to defend the town.
Two hours passed after Caleb summoned 10 units of Light Swordsman from the infantry level 2 bundle.
The resources notification panel appeared again, informing Caleb of the addition of resources in four different resources.
[RESOURCES INFO]
[Wood: 952] [+160]
[Food: 1019] [+238]
[Gold: 1185] [+190]
[Stone: 300] [+100]
[Villager: 49/55] [+6]
Also, a notification panel appeared before Caleb after he closed the resources info panel. There, the panel explained about the construction that had been completed.
[DING! Construction is complete]
[Building:]
[Infantry Camp]
'Finally, the construction of the Infantry Camp has been completed. However, the population is lacking. I can't possibly make a militia of less than 10 units,' Caleb explained.
Again, Caleb ordered one of the 7 idle villagers to work. He needed at least 4 new houses to increase the population. That way, Caleb could create at least 20 militia to support his ambitions.
Destroying CL_Ellise and other players!
[Construction begins]
[Building: 4 Houses]
[Building Type: Economic Building]
[Cost: 200 wood || 100 food || 100 stone]
[Construction duration: ]
[00:00:09:59]
Because there was only one worker, the work was done in sequence, not at once.
Caleb had no problem with that; after all, the duration of the house construction was only 10 minutes, and it was quick and easily forgotten.
He pressed the Infantry Camp building icon. In the building status details, Caleb saw a technology that needed to be researched.
The name of the tech was Leather Equipment. It explained in detail the buffs provided by the tech, such as increased defense and speed per militia unit.
The cost required to research Leather Equipment tech was 100 wood, 200 food, and 150 gold. The time needed to complete the technology research was 3 hours.
However, there are consequences of researching technology. One of the important ones is that Caleb cannot produce militia while the research is in progress.
Caleb must wait for the technology to be completed; then, he can create militia units and see the difference.
Even so, if Caleb creates a militia beforehand and researches Leather Equipment technology later, the militia that has previously been created will be upgraded automatically.
"I'd better create the militia units first, then research the technology once the number of militia units is sufficient for me," Caleb replied.
[Infantry Camp]
[Durability: 500/500]
[Level: 1]
[Units]
[1. Militia] [100 wood || 50 food] [15 minutes/unit]
[Technology]
[Leather Equipment] [100 wood || 200 food || 150 gold] [3 hours]
Detailed information was displayed before Caleb. One militia unit only required 100 wood and 50 food. If Caleb created 10 militia units, the cost would be 1000 wood and 500 food.
"The amount of my wood resources doesn't reach 1000. It seems like I must use a wood bundle item level 2," Caleb explained.
[Item used]
[1 Wood Bundle Level 2]
[DING! Congratulations on getting +250 wood]
"Alright. That's enough."
Caleb returned to the Infantry Camp details panel. He pressed the militia unit section, entering the number of militia to be created.
[Unit Army Production]
[Unit Name: Militia]
[Quantity: 10]
[Cost: 1000 wood || 500 food]
[Unit production duration:]
[00:02:29:59]
Since the production model was a sequence, every 15 minutes, the Infantry Camp would produce one militia unit.
To get at least 10 militia units, Caleb had to wait about 2 and a half hours to complete all of them.
Finally, Leather Equipment technology could not be researched due to the Infantry Camp's focus on unit production, not research technology.
Caleb returned to the town hall after ordering 10 Light Swordsman infantry units to enter the town hall. Automatically, the town hall's attack and defense damage increased to 17 from 7.
It was because 10 infantry units entered the town hall that the attack damage and defense of the town hall increased. Which means the town hall becomes stronger.
From the game map, Caleb's scout came in around CL_Ellise's TH _Apo_King. Because Caleb wanted to avoid suspicion, he ordered his scout to go through the fog again and aim for another treasure cave.
Before he advanced to TH level 3, Caleb's target was to have explored at least all the treasure caves in the eastern region.
6 treasure caves in total were still covered in fog. The scout had to explore all of them, no matter the level.
"With the current strength of my town, no player will be foolish enough to attack me."
He watched his scout leave the area, riding at a speed of 1.8m/sec through player Jack_Hunter's Town Hall.
His scout did not show any aggression because, from the beginning, Caleb had set the scout's stance from an Agg Stance to an Idle Stance.
However, it was different with his eight heavy scouts. Caleb set their stance from Idle Stance to Def Stance. That was because Caleb was inside TH; he didn't know who was coming, including the enemy.
[Friend Chat!]
[Caleb] [Let me know if you want to visit my town]
[Liliana_P] [Why?]
[Caleb] [I set my troops into Def Stance. If you come in suddenly, they can kill you]
[Liliana_P] [I got it]
Everything went smoothly, whether technology, farming, or troop units. Caleb felt the game this time was much easier than when he played on PC.
However, in reality, everything did not go as Caleb had predicted. A red panel suddenly appeared before Caleb, providing warning information.
[WARNING!]
