185 Chapter - The Protection Period Ends
"Young Miss," Fiery stepped forward respectfully.
"Go and sense if there are any rideable beasts around here. Donkeys, deer, cattle, horses, mules, anything will do."
"Yes."
Fiery respectfully replied and also turned to leave the castle.
"Xiao Cheng, are we going to build a cavalry unit?" Yu Nian also became excited.
In the age of cold weapons for humans, cavalry was always the strongest presence.
But despite her confidence in the cavalry's combat effectiveness, this was a transcendent world... Leng Ningxue also raised a question: "But this is a Rainforest, it's {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} not suitable for cavalry combat."
In fact, almost half of the six major terrains would not be suitable for cavalry charges.
Bai Cheng waved her hand: "It's okay, don't forget we still have Fiery and Lü Duo."
One has absolute attribute suppression, and the other has an ability perfectly suited to herself.
As long as the two employees made a move, clearing the surrounding trees to create a favorable environment would be more than enough.
Bai Cheng then refocused her gaze on the knight armor in front of her, her tone carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"This armor looks decent. It should be enough to deal with the armies of other lords, right?"
After speaking, she handed the armor to Yu Nian, then patted her shoulder earnestly: "The rest is up to Nian Nian!"
Yu Nian immediately looked like she was about to cry: "Eight hundred sets of armor, how long will this take to replicate..."
But despite her complaints, her hands weren't slow. She immediately took the armor and ran to a side to focus on replicating it.
The victory conditions for this Lord Game were very harsh for them; only one person out of the twenty participating leaders could survive.
In other words, they had no retreat.
Possessing the weakest troop type, they had to seize every opportunity to improve their strength and absolutely could not be careless or underestimate the enemy.
Leng Ningxue, who was beside her, said: "By the way, besides Liu San, the other Survivors in the channel don't seem to have any intention of contacting us."
Bai Cheng, of course, understood what those guys were thinking; they were merely planning to take a gamble with this Lord Game.
Upon hearing this, she didn't pay too much attention: "It doesn't matter, our channel is definitely not an exception."
She believed that the other channels would definitely be in the same situation.
Moreover, what Bai Cheng was more concerned about was whether the balance made by the system for all Survivors included those ordinary Survivors; in short, whether it had anything to do with the terrain.
For example, although Liu San was not a leader, because he was in the Rainforest area and had to face other leaders, the system forcibly leveled his combat power.
What about other areas? Would the troop types summoned by those inherently weaker Survivors be even stronger?
Thinking of this, Bai Cheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
If this were truly the case, the leaders at this moment would be more like prey surrounded by a pack of beasts.
"The number of lords in the Rainforest area is very small, and the grasslands and forests will also be unoccupied..."
"So, the lords adjacent to these two areas will probably try to occupy them first to gain war buffs."
Leng Ningxue also began to analyze, and at the same time asked Bai Cheng: "Then should we send employees to seize the initiative first?"
After all, they had more than one War General-level employee and could act separately.
"We'll see what intelligence Azure Bird brings back then." Bai Cheng couldn't make up her mind right now.
"If we are not far from other leaders, we will directly deal with them with lightning speed."
However, a plan is still just a plan. From the fact that Liuhe Island's area was larger than Bai Cheng had imagined, she had probably already anticipated that this trial would not be that simple.
The one-day protection period ostensibly protected the lords and provided some development time, but in reality, it was just to let everyone adapt to the rules.
A day passed in a flash. As dusk fell, the crescent moon hanging in the sky grew brighter and clearer.
Throughout this entire day, three more lords contacted Bai Cheng: Niu Dali, Wang Shuai, and Zhou Xiong.
As for Zhou Xiong, he was the only one who spoke out against Tang Yan and his group when Bai Cheng helped Leng Ningxue secure a promotion slot earlier.
Niu Dali and Zhou Xiong were both Survivors who had received Bai Cheng's favor, so their initiative choice to contact the few of them was no surprise.
After all, given the known rules of the Lord Game, the earlier Survivors contacted their leaders, the more it demonstrated their loyal stance.
Wang Shuai, however, was more special; he was a Forerunner from Channel 3.
He had been saved by Bai Cheng once and later released in Infinite City.
His behavior was somewhat strange; instead of contacting his own leader, he contacted Bai Cheng?
"But speaking of which, the Forerunners in Channel #3 should have been mostly dealt with, right?" Bai Cheng wondered.
Channel #3, as expected, had the fewest participants.
The purpose of these three contacting Bai Cheng was the same as Liu San's: to form an alliance and lend Bai Cheng a hand.
And what stage had the 800 human troops reached after a day of development?
Almost none.
Although cutting trees and hunting could earn experience points, it was actually very little. Coupled with Wang Da also having to manage the food and lodging for 800 people, and preparing defensive fortifications to be repaired for battle before the protection period ended, one day was far from enough.
"If they were undead creatures, they could be grinding experience all day..."
Bai Cheng frowned. Sure enough, as time increased, the gap between different troop types would grow wider and wider.
"The protection period ends tonight; we must make a move!"
At this moment, Bai Cheng stood at the castle gate, her gaze sweeping over the chevaux de frise and arrow towers built outside the walls. They had even dug several ditches to defend against enemy attacks.
She had no hope for these at all; could these facilities truly help them resist armies composed of transcendent magical beasts?
The effect would likely be negligible.
"Assemble!"
Watching the human soldiers finish their dinner around the bonfire, Bai Cheng immediately shouted.
Upon hearing this, Wang Da instantly stood up, calling the soldiers to quickly line up neatly in front of the castle.
Besides Yu Nian, Leng Ningxue and the other employees also came to the castle gate, waiting for Bai Cheng to give orders.
Throughout the entire day, Azure Bird had already thoroughly explored the surrounding terrain.
Liuhe Island was indeed very large; even the Rainforest area they were in alone covered a significant area.
Bai Cheng didn't find any patterns in the distribution of the lords and neutral magical beast strongholds, but the only thing worth mentioning was that the actual distance between all lord strongholds and magical beast strongholds was not too close.
This, on the contrary, was good news, creating a great opportunity for Bai Cheng to launch a sneak attack.
After everyone had assembled, Bai Cheng was finally ready to give her command.
"The protection period is about to end. Get ready for a big fight!"
