Vol 7 Chapter 40: The pace of expansion!

Time transitions to the fifth day of the mission.
At this point, Zhao Futu had cleared seven or eight nearby lair points. At this time, the number of soldiers in his hand had accumulated to 324 cavemen, 60 hawks, 7 evil eyes, 103 Medusa, and 5 minotaurs. Only three lion scorpions.
During the battle during this time, Zhao Futu discovered a very interesting phenomenon!
That is, when he recruited captive dungeon creatures after the battle, he found that he was particularly prone to recruiting cavemen, but the probability was much lower when recruiting other creatures. Similarly, the same is true of Medusa hero Melina. She has a very high chance of success when recruiting Medusa captives, but a low chance of recruiting other creatures.
According to Zhao Futu's estimation, this should be related to the hero's specialties and racial characteristics. Even he was very doubtful that if he was transferred to become a formal hero template, he would suddenly realize the hero talent of a caveman.
If that's the case, it's a very daddy!
As for recruiting creatures of other races, it has basically been unsuccessful so far, and it is not known whether it is because of racial exclusion.
Another thing that must be mentioned is!
When Zhao Futu attacked the third lair, his primary diplomacy succeeded.
At that time, he led the army to attack the nest of a hawk banshee, which contained about sixty or seventy hawks, because of the rich range of long-range arms in his hand, most of Zhao Futu's attacks were melee wild creatures. He was going to order the attack that day, but that was the moment. Suddenly a hawk flew in front of him, and then the icy chime sounded in Nightmare Space:
"The contractor number is 1013. A group of hawks dreads your bravery and asks to join your army, but you must pay 6000 gold coins!"
"May I accept it?"
"Yes!" Zhao Futu agreed without hesitation.
As a result, an additional batch of hawks banshees appeared in his army, and some died in subsequent battles, and finally there were 60 of them.
………………
Compared with the charged hawk banshee, when Zhao Futu attacked the ninth target, all this happened in front of him was more in his interest.
because. Before he could attack, the cavemen in front of them couldn't wait to surrender, and then the icy reminder of Nightmare Space sounded again:
"The contractor number 1013, a large group of cavemen admiring your bravery, requesting to join your army!"
"May I accept it?"
"Yes!"
As Zhao Futu chose to agree, the number of cavemen in his team immediately increased again.
The number of cavemen in this batch is as high as more than 200. Zhao Futu has nearly 600 cavemen at one time. Unfortunately, these are only the lowest-ranking units, and it is okay to deal with skeleton soldiers of the same rank. But to deal with slightly more advanced creatures, you can only fill in the sea tactics. After so long exploration, Zhao Futu also roughly figured out the strength of the creatures in all stages of the dungeon.
Leaving aside those advanced professionals, elites, and leaders. Just ordinary creatures.
About three cavemen have the same strength as a hawk sorceress, five cavemen can do one evil eye, ten cavemen can challenge Medusa, and about twenty cavemen can resist. Minotaur, about a hundred cave talents can fight against a non-flying lion. As for dealing with red dragons and black dragons, even thousands of cave people are probably useless.
In fact, there are very few ordinary cavemen successfully killing lion scorpions, which is rare to see for almost a century!
However, the huge population base still gives cavemen other capabilities. For example, they have a higher chance of producing elites. Basically, a caveman elite will inevitably appear in a nest with more than 100 people, and the strength of a caveman elite is basically equivalent to that of third-order to fourth-order creatures. If it is a caveman leader, then the strength will be steadily between the fifth and sixth tiers, and there is a high probability of mastering a hero skill.
and so!
In the real evolutionary plot plane, sometimes it is impossible to measure everything by rank, otherwise it will be easy to capsize in the gutter!
"There are too many captives in the old nest! It looks like a batch is consumed!" Zhao Futu looked at the pit in front of him. Muttered.
I have to say, there are so many pits in the underground world!
This is the fifth pit he has occupied, and it is also the kind of pit that has been developed and can be harvested on the same day with the input of manpower. Beyond that. There are many undeveloped pits in his territory that take a while to mine. He was very skeptical that the dungeon he had occupied was built on a vein, otherwise he would bring so much ore.
………………
Due to the unexpected affinity for cave people, the number of cave people in Zhao Futu's territory also began to increase.
Excluding the captives who had been arrested for recruiting unsuccessful slaves, the number of residents in Zhao Futu's underground city has reached more than 1,000, which means that he can now receive about 1,000 additional head tax revenues per week. Compared to the original desertedness, the entire dungeon has been a lot livelier in just a few days, but it has also become messy and dirty.
One of the most representative is that there is a pile of stuff on the street.
And there are more creatures fighting in the street!
As a last resort, Zhao Futu could only form a security team in advance, led by a minotaur, assisted by a Medusa, a hawk banshee responsible for the investigation, and a team of cavemen as the errands.
As a fifth-tier arm, the Minotaur is used to maintain law and order.
As for those creatures who dared to excrete a stack of objects on the street, Zhao Futu grabbed a half-dead without a word after grabbing it, and then fell at the gate of the city for one night.
The next day everyone got up and saw that the poor guy was dead!
Since then, no one dares to excrete that kind of stuff on the street. Although the cave where the cave people live is still very dirty and messy, at least the interior hall and the core streets are very clean and tidy. Anyway, no one likes to go to the cave where the cave people live, so there is no dirt It doesn't matter, at most, a mushroom ring will be set up there.
Dungeon has a benefit.
That is, there are many creatures proficient in mining and forging. Cave people are born hard labor, and minotaurs are born blacksmiths.
Don't look at the dumb look of these two guys, but the cavemen's ability to mine can be compared with the dwarves, but these guys don't like mining like dwarves, and their nature is to be lazy to sleep. If no one persecutes and supervises them, the cavemen collect at most a portion of the ore that they can use for themselves. So it is absolutely right for cave people to improve their work efficiency and prepare a whip and a supervisor.
Minotaurs look three big and five big, but no one can think of them as natural blacksmiths.
Although the level of forging is a bit partial, it is limited to forging axe and armor, but it is also a kind of ability!
In the entire dungeon, only the minotaur was the only one with the weapon at hand.
After all, they use a two-handed Tomahawk!
The reason for mentioning this is because in the territory of Zhao Futu, after accumulating resources for a day or two, he finally set up the smithy.
The role of the smithy was clear.
That is, the caveman in Zhao Futu's hand is finally a decent weapon.
Taking advantage of the large number of slaves in hand, Zhao Futu expanded the smithy to try to popularize the equipment as soon as possible. If the cavemen's equipment can be better, can they not only support the cannon fodder a few more times?
Another benefit of the smithy is that Zhao Futu can spend 2500 gold coins to make a powerful crossbow cart.
The power of this crossbow car is not small, you can kill a second- and third-tier creature with a single arrow!
As for fourth- and fifth-order creatures, a little character may be needed.
Because there were other buildings to be built, Zhao Futu was ultimately unwilling to spend 2,500 gold coins of law to buy a crossbow car.
Until now, he only has about 12,000 gold coins in his hand.
As for the construction of the dungeon, it also looks like this:
"Night City [Dungeon]." (Condition: Successful occupation.)
"Place of Origin: Heroes' Invincible Plane."
"Item Type: Dungeon."
"Use effect 1: Recruit!"
"Use effect 2: increase gold coins."
"Owned buildings: fortress, interior hall, smithy, market, dark cave, birdhouse (unfinished), Medusa's lair (untransformed), minotaur's lair (untransformed)."
"Special effects-[Law of the rules]: When the dungeon is under special threat, you can activate the power of the rules within the dungeon once!"
"Evaluation: This is a long-abandoned dungeon ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It once became a lair of wild creatures. If you want to restore it to normal operation, you need to spend a lot of laws to repair it. Fortunately, it has been a wild animal's lair for a long time. If you have enough resources, you can directly convert their lair into a corresponding army recruitment building! "
[Hint: This dungeon is blessed by the laws of nightmare space! All its building consumption will be reduced by 50%, and the power of the Nightmare space extraction rule will directly transform all urban residents, automatically grasp the relevant extension capabilities, and at the same time it will greatly reduce the time for repair, construction and production! 】
………………
"There is still a first-level magic guild, and a parliament can be established."
Zhao Futu looked at the dungeons that had changed dramatically in just a few days. He was excited: "As long as the parliament is established, you can get 2,000 gold coins a week!"
"At that time, the income was basically enough!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
