Chapter 3: Enemy Attack!

"Ding! Discover the task and force the user to pick up the ............ in the task Quest generation, since this quest is an exploratory quest, so please complete the quest as soon as possible, the sooner you complete the quest, the more rewards you will get. Sun Lin, who had just returned to his residence from the podium, suddenly received a reminder from the system, and Sun Lin, who had received the system task for the first time, hurriedly dismounted, led the horse to the side of the street to find a clean place and sat on the ground, ignoring the strange eyes of the people around him and began to pretend to meditate and watch the task template.

"Hehe, what do you think the king is doing?"

"Who knows? What do you do with the king? I guess the king is thinking about how to build the city of London more brilliantly, maybe the "Urban Citizen Environmental Protection Law" just delivered in the square was drafted by the king under such circumstances! ”

"Makes sense! Seriously, the "Urban Citizen Environmental Protection Law" is really good, I used to pile up garbage outside my house like a mountain, and I was upset to see it, and it is said that the reason for my son's illness is caused by those garbage! Want to get rid of all this garbage but don't know where to put it? Burying it in the soil is said to destroy the wheat harvest, throwing it into the sea will drive the fish away, and it will cost money to hand it over to the wagons that handle the garbage to haul it away! Now, the king has promised to put some garbage cans made of wood in each block, and he will send special personnel to deal with them, so it doesn't cost money, but it is more comfortable to live in the city, and the king really cares about our lives! ”

"Yes, yes, the king also said that as long as every citizen protects the environment of London, cooperates with the so-called 'sanitation workers' to clean up the garbage in the city, and the city meets the requirements of the king, then all the people will get a bag of flour every month! And those who perform well can also get meat! Now I finally don't eat all that black and hard black bread like I used to! ”

"Yes, there are also those "Cultivated Land Reward Law", "National Training" ............"

Of course, these conversations did not drift into Sun Lin's ears from beginning to end, which made him realize that some of the buildings in London town had been given stronger attributes and two new buildings when he returned to look at the London Town template after his first command battle. As for Sun Lin at this time, he was struggling, struggling with how he should complete the task that the system forced to give him.

Mission: Prospecting.

Requirements: 3 quarries and 1 iron ore found near the town of London.

Rewards: 1,000 Professional Miners will be awarded for completing them within 10 days, 2,000 additional Population and 12 Soldiers will be added within 7 days, 5,000 Gold and 10,000 Kilograms of Food will be added in 5 days, and Follower Rewards will be increased again within 3 days: Mining Expert: Mining tax will be increased by 5%.

Happiness and distress are staggered in Sun Lin's heart, happy that the task reward given by the system is absolutely rich, especially the mining expert who is rewarded by the follower, maybe everyone seems to be this reward just to make Sun Lin earn a little more gold coins every time, but Sun Zhilu Dao has a mining expert is completely equivalent to himself will have the opportunity to invent gunpowder and enter the industrial age in the next 20 years, you must know that the sulfur and coal belong to the mining industry! And counting the other rewards, as long as enough stone and iron ore can be found near Londontown, Sun Lin has a great chance of expanding Londontown into a city within a year, or a standard semi-modern city, including a sewage system, war workshops, leisure places, red light districts, training grounds, and trade areas. But Sun Lin is distressed that if he wants to complete this task within 3 days, then Sun Lin must send the militia army in the city to assist him in exploration, which causes the defense in London to be greatly weakened, although due to the several laws just released so that the loyalty of the people in London City has reached its peak, but no matter how strong these people are, they are just a group of civilians who can't fight at all, what if there is an enemy attacking London Town? You must know that London Town is Sun Lin's lifeblood, and it is not possible to make a slight mistake!

“………… Damn, why is the task given by this broken system so troublesome......... No matter! Since they've all died once, are you afraid of dying again? This time, I'm going to put all the treasure on this task! I hope you don't disappoint me! Sun Lin hurriedly stepped on his white horse and galloped towards the town barracks, at the same time, in the dense forest 15 kilometers northeast of London, a battle between humans and natives from another world was about to start............

The dense forest is a good place, first of all, if you cut down these trees, you have a lot of wood, and secondly, the land left after the uprooting of these trees is also extremely fertile, you can grow agricultural products without fertilization and guarantee a good harvest for 2 to 3 years, and if you don't cut down trees, you can also get a lot of leather raw materials from the dense forest, you must know that every perfect deer skin can make the government get a trade tax of 1 gold coin in the trade, not to mention those wolf and tiger skins can reach 100 gold or even 1000 gold is hard to find. However, there are pros and cons, and although the jungle is a treasure trove of great potential, again, before the jungle was developed, the living conditions in such areas were even worse than the garbage production in the city.

"Smack!"

"Damn mosquitoes!" Richard, who was walking in the dense forest, cursed in a low voice as he used the iron sword in his hand to cut off the vines and trees that stood in front of him. Since entering this unknown forest, Captain Richard and his prospecting team (75 spear militiamen plus 3 civilians who know how to prospect) have suffered from countless mosquito riots every moment, but the rewards have been very little, except for the discovery of 1 barren stone mine, not even a piece of iron slag has been found, which has made the members of the prospecting team who have been walking for more than 3 hours complain to Captain Richard, but fortunately, although everyone has some complaints, But he still worked very hard to carry out the exploration mission, which also relieved the slightly upset Captain Richard, at least he didn't have to worry that these militiamen would resist his orders, making the task given to him by Sun Lin unable to be completed.

"Captain Richard, according to the miner of Team 1, after his survey, it is estimated that we only need to search half a kilometer further to find the iron ore that the king wants! And the quantity definitely meets the king's requirements. A nimble young man in front of him rushed from the dense forest, knelt down on one knee in front of Captain Richard, and reported the feedback from the survey team ahead. After experiencing the lessons of the last exploration of the jungle (not long after the establishment of the town of London, an explorer named New Delhi and his team members were instructed by Richard and Sun Lin to explore the dense forest northeast of the town of London, that is, the inland connection of the New Delhi Peninsula, and as a result, New Delhi died in the mouth of the wild leopard in the process of exploration, and the other team members took the bones of New Delhi to the town of London to recuperate after besieging and killing the wild leopard), Captain Richard of the guard divided the militia and prospectors into 3 teams, Each team consisted of 25 spearmen and a miner and marched forward in a triangular formation, while Richard stayed on the left, not because Richard was afraid of death, but because the left side of the prospecting team was facing the inland side of the New Delhi Peninsula, and if there was an enemy attack, it would attack the left flank of the team first.

"Good! Tell the miner that the king said that the first person to discover the iron vein has a reward! Tell them to work harder! Just go! Captain Richard patted the young herald on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Work hard, I've been let down by your two good legs." ”

The young herald was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ecstatic, what does Captain Richard mean as long as he is not a fool understands, this is obviously to promote this young man to be a herald! Thinking of this, the young man hurriedly got up and bowed: "Xie Lu, Captain Xie Wei's promotion!" Leo, a member of the first detachment of the militia, is once again grateful! ”

"Okay, okay, Xie Luxie's matter will be talked about after this mission is over, now let's go and pass the order first............ By the way, inform Team 3 to move closer to Team 1, tell Team 1 that we will meet in the iron mine in half an hour, and tell them not to .........be late" A sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from a distant branch, and Captain Richard's face changed instantly, because he felt that the target of the flying object was himself! , Richard instinctively went forward and backward one by one to avoid the attack, but he was desperate to find that his feet were so entangled in a rattan that he couldn't move!

Despair, endless despair, Captain Richard broke out in a large amount of cold sweat all over his body in just one second, and he himself felt the feeling of falling into an ice cave: "Is this going to die?" It's a pity that I can't serve the king,............" just as Richard felt that his soul was about to return to the arms of God, he suddenly felt grateful that a pair of warm hands pressed his chest and pushed his body backwards, followed by a gust of wind, and then a stream of heat flowed from his neck onto his chest, which was wrapped in heavy chain mail and a linen cloth.

"That's not right! I'm not hurt! But this is blood! Don't! Richard, who fell to the ground, hurriedly raised his head and found that a young figure was pressing on his body, but there seemed to be a long and thin thing on the waist of this young man's body, a wooden stick with a sharp stone tied to his head, but at this time, everyone could not see the head and sharp stone of the wooden stick, because these things had been deeply inserted into the young man named Leo.

"Enemy attack! Group Hedgehog Array! A scream full of anger came out of Richard's mouth, waking up all the dull-faced prospecting teams around them, and at this time, there was a sound of breaking the air from the branches of the trees in the distance............
