Chapter 148: The Choice (2)

On April 21, the second year of barbarism, after returning to the game, Ning Yuan began to plan the next development direction of the territory.

Originally, Ning Yuan planned to expand steadily and outward step by step, but after experiencing Ouyang Yichen's stimulation, Ning Yuan found that although steady and steady development was the best development model, all of this was built without the invasion of a strong enemy.

If there is an invasion of a strong enemy, then this steady and steady development model will fall into a state of complete passivity.

The foundation of the Condor Territory is relatively thin, once the production of the territory falls into a state of complete stagnation, then all of Ning Yuan's previous efforts will be in vain, and the Condor Territory he has worked so hard to establish will have a significant regression.

Although Ning Yuan guessed that the Divine King Hall and the Sun Moon Divine Sect would not be able to attack him, he had to know that the enemies he had to face were not only these two guilds, and in this world, there were countless player lords who coveted his territory.

Although for various reasons, until now, no player alliance has attacked the Condor plane, but no one can guarantee that there will be no player alliance to invade the Condor plane in the future.

And with Ning Yuan's ambition, he will definitely continue to go out and rob in the future, and when the number of resources and natural wonders in his territory further increases, there will definitely be player lords who can't resist the temptation to attack him.

Therefore, in order not to be caught off guard by the enemy, Ning Yuan must no longer have the luck mentality he had before, because he can't afford that price.

Although Savagery and Civilization is a farming game of management and construction, war is the main theme of this game.

If you don't have enough strength, it doesn't make sense to build your territory well, because the enemy only needs to launch a single invasion war to ruthlessly take it all out of your hands.

For war, the most important thing is the army, so if Ning Yuan wants to be prepared, he must have a large number of troops, and then train this army into an elite, only in this way can his territory have the capital to protect itself.

The Condor Territory now has more than 25,000 Terran soldiers, more than 17,000 elven soldiers, more than 15,000 dwarf soldiers, and more than 27,000 orc soldiers, with a total strength of more than 84,000 people.

After getting rid of the foxmen, swans, and ratmen who were not very combative, the Condor Leader still had nearly 70,000 combatable soldiers.

The 70,000 army was already a bit frightening at this stage, after all, when the God King Hall and the Sun Moon Divine Sect were fighting for the Colorful Harvest Mountain, the number of their combined forces was only a hundred thousand.

Although 70,000 troops are a lot, Ning Yuan now has five cities to defend, so if he wants to go out to invade, the actual number of troops he can mobilize is still very limited.

Condor City is the main city of the Condor Lord, and all of Ning Yuan's family background is here, so Condor City must leave at least 20,000 standing troops.

White Horse and Ironforge are the outermost cities, and the chances of facing invaders directly are much higher than the other three cities, so each city must have at least 8,000 standing troops.

Nanmu Castle and Hippogriff Castle are the hub cities, and they have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the other cities, so each city must have at least 5,000 standing troops.

The standing army of the five cities alone needed 46,000 men, and the number of troops available for Ning Yuan to deploy at will was only 24,000.

Although 24,000 people seems to be a lot, if the Patriotic side can summon reinforcements, then in terms of the number of troops, more than 20,000 people are really not enough.

Now that the Bronze Age player lords have learned to commit adultery, few people use war-free tokens to avoid being declared war by powerful enemies.

Anyway, the enemy doesn't know if they have a distress token in their hands, and if they want to get the truth, they must invade and inspect it themselves.

And solo invasion is very dangerous in the Bronze Age, and one may never return home if you are not careful, so when facing those planes that do not have a war-free token, the player lords rarely invade alone, and they all form an invasion coalition in gangs.

In this way, even if the invasion fails in the end, they will have a high probability of escaping.

Because of the above reasons, although no player took the initiative to invade Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan couldn't find any plane suitable for invasion, and it was difficult for him to encounter a ready-made cheap like David Lewis.

And the most important thing is that with the continuous enhancement of the strength of the Condor Territory, Ning Yuan's territory will soon enter the feudal era.

From the Bronze Age to the feudal age, the conditions were to have five cities, a total population of 200,000 tribes, and more than 20,000 soldiers.

Ningyuan's Condor Leader now has more than 185,000 civilians of all ethnic groups, plus the number of troops, the total population has reached 270,000, which fully meets the population conditions for entering the feudal era.

As long as the other four cities are fully built, then he will immediately enter the feudal era.

And once the Condor Leader enters the feudal era, Ning Yuan may find it even more difficult to find a target to attack, because after entering the feudal era, the rules of dimensional warfare will continue to change.

The war of the feudal era was known as the War of the Empires, and the duration of the war was one year, and the invaders could choose to retreat with their entire army on the thirtieth day, otherwise they would have to wait until the end of the one-year war time before eliminating the Patriots.

In the plane wars of the feudal era, the retreat node was on the thirtieth day, and the duration of the war was one year.

There is nothing to be afraid of in a year, after all, if there is no deep hatred between the two sides, it is impossible to die for a year, but the retreat node is extended to the thirtieth day, which is a bit fatal.

Thirty days of game time, converted into real time, is three days, so you don't have to wait until the thirtieth day, the invader's plane will probably be invaded by other player lords on the eleventh day.

After all, the Patriotic side is not obliged to keep secrets for the invading side, and they are afraid that they are eager for others to hurry up and invade the invading plane, so that they can slowly fight a war of attrition with the invading side.

However, it seems that in the feudal era, the chances of plane wars were much smaller than in the Bronze Age.

As far as Ning Yuan knew, it seemed that there hadn't been a war between those player lords who had entered the feudal era yet.

They were all trying to carve out their own planes right now, and they simply didn't have time to fight other people's ideas.

It's as if all the player lords who have entered the feudal era have formed a tacit understanding between them, everyone is burying their heads in development, and no one has come out to take the initiative to stir up trouble, so players have dubbed the feudal era as the era of peace.

Now, there are two paths in front of Ning Yuan.

One is to deliberately stop the construction of a city, let itself continue to stay in the Bronze Age, and then continue to expand the size of the Condor army, constantly invading other planes, plundering population and resources.

One is to speed up the entry into the feudal era, and then use the peaceful characteristics of the feudal era to let the Condor Leader enter a stage of peaceful development.

If he chooses to continue to stay in the Bronze Age, although Ning Yuan can continue to plunder population resources, because there is no fifth city, he can only continue to expand the other four cities.

When the population of the realm reaches saturation, he can only continue to expand outward, and the end result is likely to be that he has four large cities and countless scattered villages and towns.

At this time, once the flames of war reached the Condor plane, Ning Yuan would most likely lose more than half of the population and a large amount of resources in his territory overnight, because it was impossible for him to move everyone to the four cities in a short period of time, and the four cities could not hold so many people.

At that time, the enemy would not have to attack the city at all, they only needed to go around the city to obtain a large number of people and resources, and Ning Yuan's previous efforts were equivalent to helping others work for free.

If you want to keep the fruits of your labor, you must continue to build cities, because only strong cities can withstand enemy attacks, so it is not a good idea to force yourself to stay in the Bronze Age, and it is likely to slow down the development of the territory.

If you choose to enter the feudal era, then the Condor Territory will be able to usher in a relatively safe development environment, and when the time comes, Ning Yuan can rest assured and boldly develop the Condor Plane, and there is one of the biggest advantages of the feudal era, that is, you can build a teleportation array in the city.

Although the teleportation array will automatically close in a state of war, in a non-war state, it can allow people to quickly reach another city from one city, allowing two cities to quickly circulate resources, and the appearance of the teleportation array will greatly increase the development speed of the territory.

And the feudal era is not completely impossible to invade others, if you have absolute confidence in your own territory, then you can continue to go out and invade.

The player lords of the feudal era were much richer than the player lords of the Bronze Age, as the saying goes, they don't open for three years, and they eat for three years.

A player plane in the feudal era is enough to be worth seven or eight player planes in the Bronze Age, as long as you can successfully win one, then it is basically equivalent to getting rich overnight.

Therefore, from the Bronze Age to the feudal age, it is an inevitable process of continuous development and growth of the territory, and the player lords just need to go with the flow, and there is no need to deliberately change anything.

After thinking about all this, Ning Yuan decided that everything would go with the flow.

Anyway, as long as his strength is strong, he can go out and invade at any time, and it doesn't really make much difference to him what era he is in, because as long as he can destroy the enemy, the retreat node and the war period will have no effect.
