Chapter 43: Conditions for Taking Over the Orc City
This reconnaissance mission was much safer than the first one conducted by Rayark.
The main issue was that all ten watchtowers were demolished.
The threat blocking the door has been eliminated.
The orcs reacted more slowly.
No new troops were sent to this area.
In such a chaotic world, if you don't take the initiative to provoke a war, you will be put on the defensive.
Their mining area was quickly discovered by Lin Chuan.
The map shows the locations of the four mining areas discovered by Daenerys and Rhea.
As the map opened, Lin Chuan also saw the general situation around his territory.
"My lord, please take a look."
"Our territory, beyond the area of these ten watchtowers, lies a river valley plain."
"In other words, our territory is located on high hills."
"This river valley plain is much richer in resources than the area we are in."
"On the plains, there are many farmlands cultivated by orcs, as well as various small mining areas."
"We didn't go to the small mining areas; we mainly looked for large mining areas."
"The first mining area we found."
"A metal mine, very large."
"There are at least several thousand orcs mining inside."
"Over here is a gold mine, also quite large, and also being mined by thousands of orcs."
"The stone ore is in this direction."
"Inside the forest."
"The orcs established a large quarry here, with a population of at least tens of thousands."
"There are also large logging bases inside."
"The orcs built a great city on the plains."
"A city wall and a large military camp were also built at the entrance to the valley."
Hearing this, Lin Chuan roughly understood the location of his territory.
"In other words, our territory is located on the periphery."
"These orc sentry towers are located on the periphery; they are just ordinary guard towers."
"Yes, Your Lordship."
"How many orcs are estimated to exist across the entire plain?"
"According to my calculations, it's no less than 500,000, or even more."
At this moment, Lin Chuan knew that he had found the ruins of the Blackrock Orcs' giant city.
With a population of only ten thousand in their own territory, they wanted to swallow up such a large orc city.
The difficulty level is quite high.
Lin Chuan's gaze fell on the edge of the map.
The icons represent forests in concentric circles.
I am one of them.
"This is the Dark Forest."
"Then the other lords are also around."
"Normally, it would take over a city-state like this."
"It must be the combined efforts of all the lords."
"After that, the lords will integrate and jointly manage this plain."
"Only by taking over this region can the lords of each region truly establish themselves."
"Only then will it be possible to leave the valley and continue into a new map."
"But do I really have to share this with other lords?"
"No, it's not sharing."
"At that time, we will likely have to be subservient to others. In areas ruled by the masses, the minority will inevitably submit to the majority."
"We don't have an advantage in terms of resources, and we will soon become just another face in the crowd."
He was eventually killed in action during a mission.
Lin Chuan absolutely refused to accept this outcome.
With such a good start, we must take a gamble.
Otherwise, I'd rather die!
Lin Chuan stared at the map, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"I want to take this area for myself."
"What suggestions do you have for someone taking over the orcs' territory?"
The heroes were stunned by these words.
Because the gap in strength is too large.
After a brief silence.
William spoke first.
"My lord, calm down. What is our current strength?"
"I know, but if I want to give it a try, what do you think I should do?"
After repeating this process once more, the heroes understood Lin Chuan's determination.
"strength."
William spoke again.
"We need to expand our military strength."
"There are at least 50,000 standing troops."
"In addition, there must be enough resources to quickly replenish the wounded soldiers."
"We will rapidly amassed troops to force the enemy to engage in a war of attrition."
"In terms of actual consumption, we certainly can't match it, but in certain areas we can."
"We will concentrate our superior forces and prioritize attacking the enemy's resource mining sites."
"Taking over these resource-rich mining areas will cut off the enemy's resources."
"Then use cavalry to attack and burn their farmland."
"In the wild, look for opportunities to eliminate their vital forces."
"After weakening the orcs, we will concentrate our forces to conquer their cities."
That's a solution, but it might take some time.
"Is there a faster one?"
Lin Chuan inquired.
This time, Arthur spoke up.
"Strength, we need even greater strength."
"At least reach the Silver level."
Arthur's eyes were bright.
"All our heroes have entered the Silver rank."
"Even gold."
"Then use a portion of your forces to launch an attack from the perimeter."
"Mobilize the main force of the orcs to leave."
"Finally, our heroes rallied together, stormed into the enemy city, and slew their leader."
"Opening the city gates will also solve the problem."
Lin Chuan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"Changing jobs isn't that simple."
"It's probably unrealistic for everyone to be a Silver Seed."
"We can try to accumulate resources and create a gold mine."
"It won't be short."
After a brief silence.
Viktor suddenly spoke.
"Magic Legion"
"Flying Legion"
"Enough novice mages have gathered."
"Primarily fire and ice types."
"And then there are large numbers of flying legions."
"The two were combined into an elite force."
"Use cavalry as the vanguard to open up the road and lure the orcs out of the city to fight."
"The mages unite and unleash a powerful war spell to annihilate the enemy's forces."
"The flying legion forcibly scaled the city walls, occupied the city ramparts, and opened the city gates."
Lin Chuan's eyes lit up.
"How many novice mages are needed to cast war spells?"
"five hundred!"
"Fire type, Ice type, 500 each."
"Capable of unleashing ten large-scale war spells."
"The more flying legions the better, at least no less than 3000."
"At least 5000 cavalry."
Viktor used the sand table he had mentally constructed to calculate the accurate troop strength.
"This~"
It's hard.
But it's much simpler than the other two plans.
"population."
"You can upgrade your territory."
"Magician training".
"The magic laboratory needs to be expanded into a magic academy."
"First, we need to find the relevant architectural drawings."
"Then comes the suitable magic apprentice."
"During the cultivation period, you can directly use magic cores and gold coins to mass produce troops."
"And flying units."
"Then we'll have to go to the secret realm to obtain it."
"The Snow Wolf Secret Realm is definitely not an option."
"Wailing Valley should be fine."
Lin Chuan ranked the tasks by difficulty.
"Upgrade your territory first, and advance it to LV10."
"At the same time, we will acquire relevant blueprints from around the world."
"If you can buy it, great. If not, go to the secret realm or use the wishing tower."
"The overall difficulty is much lower."
Lin Chuan finally made the decision to use Victor's plan.
"Territory upgrade".
"Currently at LV8, what are the conditions for upgrading to LV9?"
[Condition 1]: Construct a branch city
[Condition Two]: A hero enters the Bronze tier.
[Condition 3]: Enter the difficult dungeon solo and kill a foreign lord.
【Condition 4】: Enter the easy difficulty dungeon solo and kill the Snow Wolf Town Lord.
【Condition 5】: Enter the Nightmare Secret Realm of Snow Wolf Town solo and go to Xiahe Village to investigate the traitor who colluded with the goblins (you need to bring the quest items).
