In addition to the crystal core, two black iron treasure chests were also exploded at the scene.
A pair of high-quality leather combat boots and a high-quality leather armor were given out. Tang Jing didn't mind it, so he put them on immediately, which would at least increase his protection.
The combat boots are quite comfortable.
Others, such as jackal battle axes and worn-out armors, have been collected in large quantities, waiting for the dwarf Orin to invite his people to build a blacksmith shop for the territory and recast weapons and armors.
All the wild wolf carcasses have also been collected.
After everything was sorted, Tang Jing immediately led his troops and returned to the territory with the trophies and wounded. During the march, he continued to receive system notifications.
"Kill the gnoll, kill value +5 points"
"Kill the gnoll leader, kill value +25 points"
After receiving the news that the Jackal leader had been killed, Tang Jing finally felt relieved. This also meant that Tu Hong's pursuit was more than half successful.
All that's left is to successfully find the Gnoll camp and collect the loot.
Judging from the scale of the Jackal attack this time, it should be a medium-sized camp, and the supplies expected to be stocked are more abundant than the previous Jackal camp.
It’s still worth looking forward to.
Of course, from another perspective, after defeating the Jackals once again, the hatred between the territory and the Jackals has become increasingly "firm" and cannot be preserved, and will incur revenge from the Jackals in the future.
Being stuck in an infinite loop belongs to yes.
What Tang Jing can do is to use all means to improve the strength of the territory as soon as possible.
Everything else is false.
………
Back at the camp, Tang Jing had no time to spare. He had to command the sword and shield soldiers and collect wolf meat, weapons, armor and other trophies into the treasury.
Wolf meat should also be marinated with coarse salt in time to avoid spoilage.
We also need to solve the problem of food and accommodation for the sword and shield soldiers.
Although three residential buildings had been built this morning, fifty more sword and shield soldiers were added at once, and the accommodation conditions became crowded again. It was time to solve the problem.
Tang Jing decided to start the construction of the military camp in advance.
There is no shortage of carpenters and blacksmiths among the sword and shield soldiers who have changed their profession this time. The location of the military camp, including wood, stone and other building materials, are also readily available.
The design of the military camp is not complicated.
The main thing is to plan various facilities such as gates, sentry towers, barracks, canteens, wells, huts, arsenals, granaries, and school grounds, and build a surrounding wall.
That's basically it.
In reality, as a half-military enthusiast, Tang Jing drew the architectural draft on the spot.
"Don't worry, sir, the military camp will be completed in ten days at most."
The craftsman responsible for this construction project was very optimistic in giving an estimate of the construction period.
"very good."
After all, "Star Bound" still gives preferential treatment to new lords. Even if they build themselves without architectural drawings, they deliberately simplify the construction process.
In disguise, he is turning on the "accelerator" for the lord.
Otherwise, just relying on these dozens of people to build a standing military camp that can accommodate 500 people within ten days is simply a fantasy.
It took less than half a year to complete the construction.
………
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we had arranged the construction of the military camp.
Tang Jing was about to deal with the remaining level 1 crystal cores in his hand, but Tu Qiang came back with two sword and shield soldiers.
"Sir, we have found the Jackal camp, because there are too many supplies that need to be counted, and we will definitely not be able to transport them all today. Big brother sent me to return to the territory first and report to you."
“Well done!”
Tang Jing was very satisfied with Tu Hong's arrangements, "By the way, have you met up with Tu Gang and the others?"
"Already reunited."
Tu Qiang said, offering the most precious spoils of this battle, including 420 gold coins, 1 level 3 crystal core, 2 level 2 crystal cores, and 12 level 1 crystal cores.
Then there is the silver treasure chest dropped by the Jackal leader.
Open the treasure chest and you will find a ring.
[Magic Ring: Can store no more than one thousand points of mana]
"good!"
Tang Jing was very satisfied. After the battle in the morning, the forbidden mage was upgraded to level 5, and his mana value also increased to 440 points.
But it's still not enough.
If you are not careful, your mana may be depleted.
With this magic ring, the available mana has been doubled.
Battery life has been greatly enhanced.
In the early days, this was considered to be the best among mage equipment.
It is indeed a BOSS drop.
Tu Qiang was arranged to lead his troops to inspect the territory, while Tang Jing started to deal with the crystal cores in his hand. Including the previous inventory, there were 1 level 3 crystal core, 6 level 2 crystal cores, and 22 level 1 crystal cores.
It can be said to be a great harvest!
There is no rush to get rid of the level 2 and level 3 crystal cores, but the 22 level 1 crystal cores need to be released as soon as possible.
Old rules.
The first step is to scan the market to exchange for rare items.
As the game entered its third day, the products on the market became more and more abundant, and all kinds of strange props emerged in an endless stream. Tang Jing first looked for architectural drawings that could be traded.
I actually found two copies, namely "Architectural Drawings of a Junior Tailor Shop" and "Architectural Drawings of a Small Granary".
Each uses 1 level 1 crystal core.
[Junior tailor shop (can be upgraded): It requires at least one junior tailor to host and can recruit three tailor apprentices. After completion, the attraction rate for tailor talents will be +10%]
[Construction time: one day]
[Small granary (can be upgraded): can store about 300,000 kilograms of grain]
[Construction time: two days]
The good news is that the tailor shop and granary can be upgraded in the future, but the specific upgrade conditions cannot be checked until they are completed and put into use.
The experience of upgrading the weapons training hut is nothing more than a crystal core.
This Tang Jing is the most indispensable.
But the fact is that level 1 crystal cores are still the most in demand on the market.
How tight is it?
There are actually 100,000 die-hard fans, each of whom invested 1 copper coin and raised a "huge sum" of 10 gold coins in exchange for a level 1 crystal core for their idol, but no one took the order.
Don't look at the fact that Tang Jing usually spends dozens of gold coins, or even one or two hundred gold coins.
The fact is -
Bartering is still the mainstream in the market at present. Not to mention dozens of gold coins, those who can have 1 gold coin can be said to be rich, and there are only a few.
Tang Jing ignored it.
One is that he doesn't like these people who are just trying to make money, and the other is that he doesn't like the mere ten gold coins.
What about sending beggars away?
Instead of asking for those ten gold coins, it is better to exchange for better things through lottery.
For example, refugees.
From Tang Jing's perspective, the value of ten refugees is far more than ten gold coins.
After failing to find good things in the market, Tang Jing naturally started a lottery in his circle of friends, using 10 level 1 crystal cores and basic materials, and successfully exchanged for 100 refugees.
Eleven of them were converted into sword and shield soldiers at a cost of 55 gold coins.
With the completion of the job transfer of the last sword and shield soldier, the sword and shield soldier training hut also disappeared.
[Kill value: 500 points]
In addition to the sword and shield soldiers, Tang Jing also spent a huge sum of five hundred gold coins to summon ten Chiyou warriors from the Wilderness Temple in one go, bringing the number of Chiyou warriors in the territory to 16.
All the kill points saved previously were also cleared at once.
[Territory funds: 338 gold coins]
After this wave of operations, the territory's funds were only over 300 gold coins.
That's it.
It was all because of the two gnoll camps that were wiped out earlier. Otherwise, the funds in the account would have been beyond their means.
"Sir, do you want to prepare meals for these people?"
Aunt Liu, the cook, shivered when she saw a hundred new refugees appearing in the yard.
It’s so busy!
"certainly!"
Tang Jing also had a headache and urgently needed an internal affairs talent to assist him in managing general affairs. "In this way, you can instruct everyone to set up temporary stoves outside and find five or six helpers to deal with it in the past few days."
When the military camp is completed and more residential buildings are built, there will be no need to crowd them all together.
"OK!"
Aunt Liu agreed and kindly reminded: "Sir, with so many people in the territory, the food may not be enough."
The main food in the territory currently is wolf meat, followed by some food seized from the gnoll camp and the food rewarded by the system when upgrading to the second-level shelter.
It is considered very rich.
But the population of the territory has exceeded 200, and the food consumed in one day alone exceeds 300 kilograms.
Aunt Liu's worries are not unreasonable.
"I will solve the food problem."
The reason why Tang Jing did not continue to exchange crystal nuclei for refugees was because of food issues.
