In Suhlen's system, fifteen soldiers were in the process of advancing. It took about two hours to advance, but those who failed to advance often didn't take that long. After about an hour, soldiers who failed to advance began to come out one after another. Suhlen didn't have any good way to deal with these people.
The success rate of fusing the templates of the Formation Breaker and the Sound Shooter Camp was not high. As for the better self-created hero template, although the success rate of this thing was 100%, the probability of obtaining it was too low. Suhlen had only obtained two so far.
Moreover, the self-created hero template was not something that anyone could use. Ordinary soldiers had no chance to use it.
One by one, the soldiers who failed to advance left the quiet room. The light balls of the templates were also taken back into the tiger tally. Finally, after two hours, the last three soldiers came out of the quiet room. They had successfully fused the templates. Two soldiers of the Formation Breaker and one archer of the Sound Shooter Camp.
[Sound Shooter Camp: Current population: 1500. After a cruel selection of excellent archers, they have successfully advanced to become soldiers of the Sound Shooter Camp. They have a stronger physique, elite vision, and powerful attack power.]
The soldiers of the Sound Shooter Camp inherited all the archer's previous talents, including advanced agility, intermediate strength, tenacity, eagle eye, evasion, and other talents. They also added an exclusive talent of the Sound Shooter Camp: Sound Shooter.
[Sound Shooter: Sharp Arrow, Rain of Arrows, Featherwood Shooter, Life and Death, Attack Speed increased by 30%, Range increased by 30%, Additional Effect: Rain of Arrows, Sharp Arrow]
[Rain of Arrows: Shoot a large number of arrows in a very short period of time. Range of arrows is reduced by 20%, power is reduced by 15%, Attack Speed is increased by 200% for 30 seconds. After use, the user will enter a weakened state.]
[Sharp Arrow: Shoot at a target with great effort, Attack Distance increased by 50%, Arrow Speed increased by 100%, Additional Effect: Armor Break.]
Seeing that the archer of the Sound Shooter Camp had successfully advanced, Suhlen couldn't wait to take him to the training ground for testing. The basic ability test was quickly completed. Whether it was the range or the number of times the bow was pulled, it was much higher than the previous archer. In addition to these, there was also the test of new skills.
After activating [Sky Filling Arrow Rain], the Archers of the Sniper Battalion instantly grabbed five arrows and began to shoot. Their speed was extremely fast. Then, wave after wave of arrows were shot out. In 30 seconds, the Archers of the Sniper Battalion had shot out at least 20 waves of arrows. In the end, the target 200 meters away was filled with hundreds of arrows. Furthermore, the arrow penetrated the target. This kind of attack power could already penetrate ordinary iron armor.
In other words, a single Archer from the Sound Shooting Battalion could wipe out a group of a hundred soldiers in just thirty seconds. Suhlen's eyes lit up when he saw this. However, even though the skill Sky Rain of Arrows was powerful, it would cause the player to enter a weakened state after using it. They would need to rest for a period of time to recover. During this period, the shooting speed, range, and power of the archers would decrease by 50%.
After the Archery Battalion recovered, they began to test out the skill, Great Precision. Compared to the dazzling arrows that filled the sky, Great Precision was only an ordinary arrow. However, this arrow was no less stunning than the previous arrows that filled the sky.
A flash of light could be seen on the arrow. Then, the arrow streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning and instantly hit the target. The center of the target was directly pierced by the arrow. After piercing the target, the arrow continued to penetrate the rock wall behind it. In the end, nearly half of the arrow was buried in the rock wall behind it.
Seeing such exaggerated power, Suhlen couldn't help but inwardly click his tongue. Even dwarf plate armor couldn't block this power. Moreover, the shooting range was 400 meters. The effect of this arrow was already comparable to a ballista, and its accuracy far exceeded that of a ballista.
Although a ballista could also shoot 500 to 600 meters, after 100 to 200 meters, the accuracy was very low. This skill was very useful for sniping enemy generals on the battlefield. Although Sky Rain of Arrows didn't cause one to enter a weakened state after using Sky Rain of Arrows, it still couldn't be used continuously. Moreover, using this skill consumed a lot of energy. Even if one was at full strength, they could only use it three times.
The archers of the Sound Shooting Battalion were unexpectedly powerful. If 500 archers of the Sound Shooting Battalion were to release their skills together on the battlefield, it was possible to directly wipe out an army. However, when he thought about the success rate of the advancement, Suhlen couldn't help but scratch his head.
Of course, after seeing the power of the Archers of the Archery Battalion, Su Lun also had some expectations for the ultimate class of Half-Elf Archers. However, the Half-Elf Archers required too much EXP to advance, and there was still a long way to go before they could advance into Phantom Magic Archers.
The development of the Northern Battlefront City was very fast. More than 80% of the city's population was building their territory. Apart from housing and city walls, the land reclamation in the Northern Battlefront City continued to increase. According to Suhlen's plan, the Northern Battlefront City needed to reclaim 100,000 acres of fertile land.
100,000 acres of fertile land sounded like a lot, but on average, it was less than one acre per person. Take Calt City for example. There were more than 300,000 acres of fertile land around the city. Many farmers had already moved out of the city to make it easier for them to farm. The same would happen to the territories around the Northern Battlefront City after it stabilized.
After the outer city of the Northern Battlefront City was built, Suhlen planned to move the market there too. The inner city was mostly built with housing. Perhaps the Northern Battlefront City would also rise one day with real estate.
Since the population of the city had increased, Suhlen asked the army to recruit more soldiers. However, these soldiers would not join the army directly. They would be part of the militia instead. They would not be paid, only some subsidies. Suhlen planned to train most of the men in the Northern Battlefront City into the militia.
Of course, the militia training was not as good as the regular army, but it had a lot of benefits. For example, it cost less. If there was a shortage of soldiers during a battle, the militia could help defend the city. Although the militia's combat power was low, they were still good at defending the city. The militia could also be used as a supplement to the regular army. If the regular army suffered casualties, the militia could pick the best ones to replace them.
Seeing that the Northern Battlefront City was developing well, Suhlen brought some people to the Mirror Lake City. Compared to the Northern Battlefront City, the conditions in the Mirror Lake City were much simpler. The city walls had already been built. Now, they were building houses and some basic facilities. Mirror Lake City had a big lake next to it, so there was a lot of fish there. The lake was the main source of meat for the city.
The population of the Mirror Lake City had been replenished a few times, and now, there were around ten thousand people. They still needed the support of the Northern Battlefront City for food. According to Suhlen's plan, the Mirror Lake City needed to develop three thousand mu of farmland before the snowfall this year. Mirror Lake City had already developed a few hundred mu of farmland.
The Mirror Lake City only had five hundred soldiers, but these five hundred soldiers were all elite veterans. These soldiers were also divided into two groups. They took turns to sweep the surrounding plains and capture more slaves.
Northern Battlefront City, Mirror Lake City, and Centaur City formed a triangle. After the three cities took turns clearing out the area, the number of monsters had gradually decreased. Perhaps in a few years, villages and towns could be built in this area. The triangular plains would also be quickly cultivated.
Suhlen did not appoint anyone to be in charge of the Mirror Lake City, so many things had to be reported to the Northern Battlefront City. Then, after the Northern Battlefront City made a decision, they would have to send the order back. Going back and forth was a bit troublesome. Suhlen had another purpose this time, and that was to appoint some officials.
At the sawmill to the east of the Mirror Lake City, there was a small scale battle going on there.
"Everyone, speed up! Charge!"
Under the command, the soldiers of the Northern Battlefront City began to charge. The leading soldier roared and threw down his shield. He raised his spear and began to charge. The archers behind him also began to provide cover.
"Archers, 45 degrees to the side! Cover them with arrows!" The Northern Battlefront City's army was made up of spearmen and archers. At the same time, there were also some centaur cavalry. However, the Mirror Lake City did not have such equipment. The spearmen wearing metal armor and holding spears began to charge. Aside from Orcs and Ogres, the other races in the wilderness could not stop them.
On the battlefield, the soldiers were facing some gnolls. There were about three hundred gnolls, and their physiques were more robust. They were about two meters tall and were equipped with simple weapons.
The workers of the sawmill were hiding behind fences. In front of them were some spearmen defending. Many areas outside of the Mirror Lake City were being harassed by these monsters.
The rain of arrows covered the area, and a large number of gnolls were turned into hedgehogs. The vanguard suffered heavy casualties, and their formation was instantly disrupted. The charging spearmen took advantage of this opportunity to speed up, and their three meter long spears pierced through the gnolls. The spearmen's charge did not slow down, and they continued to charge forward. Following that, more gnolls were pierced by the spears. Basically, every spear had two to three gnolls skewered on it.
At this point, the spearmen's momentum had been exhausted. It was time for the spearmen in the front row to drop their spears and draw their swords from their waists, continuing to fight the Jackalans.
The spearmen in the back row weaved through the gaps and began to push the gnolls back.
"Charge!"
Just as the Gnolls were being forced back, an angry roar sounded out. 20 Barbarian warriors charged from the flank. Compared to the spearmen's charge, the Barbarians' charge was even more unstoppable. Although there were only 20 of them, they gave off a feeling that the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. They were unstoppable.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a series of muffled sounds, the gnolls standing at the outermost edge were sent flying by the barbarians. When they landed, their bodies were clearly twisted. It was obvious that many of their bones had been broken. Blood kept coming out of their mouths. It seemed that they did not have long to live.
After charging into the enemy's formation, the barbarians began to wave their axes. Everywhere they passed, there was no enemy. Blood and flesh flew everywhere. A large number of gnolls were cut in half by the sharp axes. For a moment, the gnolls' formation became even more chaotic and was about to collapse.
