In the blink of an eye, Wudian Camp has been established for a year.
During this year, the population increased from forty to one thousand and thirty-one. The total assets reached nearly 10,000 gold coins (assets, not possession of gold coins). Schools, hospitals, village courts, militia camps, simple machinery processing plants, medicinal materials processing plants... were built.
In addition to this, what is more important is the expansion of influence in the wilderness.
There are four or five camps around, adding up to more than a thousand people who have become Wu Hui's die-hard allies. The relationship was so good that Wu Hui helped them plan and build a factory. The remaining camps are still hesitant about this. After all, not everyone is willing to be controlled too deeply by Wu Hui.
In addition, there are other ordinary allies, neutrals, and a small number of rebels who secretly oppose Wu Hui in the wilderness camp alliance.
Those are the targets Wu Hui is preparing to eliminate. Anyway, his iron allies and ordinary allies combined have exceeded 6,000 people. It has an absolute advantage in the alliance with a total population of more than 10,000.
Moreover, to be honest, Wu Hui usually treats things fairly, otherwise he would not be supported by most people. Some guys simply feel disadvantaged if they can't take advantage.
Now the thousands of troops organized by various camps have been trained by Wu Hui. Eighty percent of them were able to ignore the leaders of the original camp and concentrate on working for Wu Hui.
A gratifying success.
But it has reached its limit when it has developed to this point. The population could not reach any greater without taking the cities. After all, the wild countryside in this world is too small and fragmented. There are many camps with dozens or even dozens of people, but they die out too quickly and cannot be cultivated at all.
Each camp does not have much fuelwood reserves and can only absorb a small number of refugees every month.
The only way is to lay down the city and dig out new veins of firewood. to develop again. Of course, most of the proud city dwellers will not obey their rule easily in the future, and they still have their work to do.
And the opportunity Wu Hui had been waiting for has appeared.
Lucas came back and told Wu Hui with a depressed face that almost all members of the Black Stone Knights had become puppets of the Dead Soul Religion. Now they have gone to war with the Old Church in the city.
Powerful beings such as divine warriors, life priests, and sky warlocks. There are not many in the city. But there are a lot of cavalry and so on. There are also a large number of people in the city who have been blessed by the church.
Therefore, the two sides fought quite fiercely and were evenly matched. The outcome will not be clear for a while.
The city lord wanted to ask Wu Hui and the others for help as he did last time. However, Wu Hui was not in a hurry to end, and suppressed the restlessness of others.
Be patient, time is on our side.
After both sides are exhausted from the fight, we will clean up the mess. This is the best result.
Of course Wu Hui would not be so rigid. Because the sooner you win the remaining Black Rock City, the more power you can receive. There is also plenty of time for future development. So if a suitable plan comes up, he doesn't mind taking action in advance.
"There will be many people who want to fish in troubled waters like us. Let's get rid of these competitors first." Wu Hui said.
Doomsday Cult.
Outsiders in the Highland Dominion.
A large band of bandits.
Threats come from top to bottom. But Wu Hui decided to deal with the last one first. Since ancient times, bandits have been a profession that has emerged in large numbers during troubled times. The world today is absolutely chaotic enough.
Since the first chaos in Black Rock City last year, many remnants of the losers have fled to the wilderness. Some were recruited by Wu Hui and others, while others gathered together to make a living by looting.
These people... lick blood with their swords and are theoretically a good source of soldiers. But Wu Hui didn't want to recruit them. Especially the leaders among them.
Because the military discipline of the bandits is really poor. It is also difficult to change the habit of robbing and robbing. But they can kill their boss and capture the rest to work.
When the regular army goes to war, it always has to cooperate with many logistics personnel and civilians. As long as you are brave enough, and including the logistics personnel who make up the numbers, one thousand regular troops can be falsely claimed as twenty thousand.
In ancient times, many armies of millions or hundreds of thousands were assembled in this way.
Wu Hui knew that for a battle. Investing hundreds of thousands of troops at a time is extremely extreme. No matter how big it is, it won't be able to fit in the battlefield.
In modern warfare, everyone's attacks cover a wider area and their positions are looser. The required battlefield area will only be larger.
Of course, the population of the entire Black Rock City is only tens of thousands. Recruiting an army of 1,000 people would be considered too militaristic for the camp alliance, and muskets and artillery have not yet been successfully implemented. Thinking about that is too far.
Blackstone City is indeed in chaos at this moment, just like the news brought back by Lucas.
But the protagonist is not the Lord of Blackstone City.
This guy, whom Hailey calls stupid and greedy, has outlived his usefulness. Kicked away by the Dead Soul Sect.
The current city lord is already a puppet.
"The Revenant Sect actually controls many cities, but it's the same as this time. We are basically picking up the leftovers left by others." Hailey yawned: "Convert the dying cities into dead ones in advance world, and then go to other places to buy or rob living people..."
Can this way of survival really last long?
Hailey was actually not sure. Although transformed from a life priest to a blue-blooded lich. But Hailey didn't fully believe in the theory of the Dead Soul Cult.
The souls of the dead can indeed survive in the darkness, but they must rely on life. Of course, those mutated lives can also do it, but they are not as good as living people. So the only problem is to make the dead souls not need living people to reproduce.
Almost every person with a little bit of idealism will consider what the future of humanity in this world should be.
Should we lie down and face destruction, or should we fight to find a way out?
Except for the doomsday sect, everyone else is trying to survive, but in different ways. Really rational people like Wu Hui say that none of these paths seems to be the right one.
He is firmly on his own path.
However, occasionally the arrangements are disrupted by accidents.
Haili suddenly stretched out her hand on the street and caught a few drops of water: "It's raining, haha, God is really helping me."
Wu Hui stretched out his hand at the camp: "In this case, it seems that there will be a lot of trouble in the future. We must join forces with the old and other forces to compete with the Dead Soul Sect..."
On the wilderness.
In the city.
After initially looking up, except for the undead and church warriors, everyone else hid in the room for fear of being caught in the rain.
After the sun goes out, there will be no clouds in this world. So the rain will naturally not be normal rain.
This is the rain of corruption that will mutate life.
Under the light of the Tower of the Sun, everyone can resist this mutation. But it is better not to be exposed to too much rain.
As for the vegetation in the ground, cover it with rainproof shelters if possible. Without conditions, we can only pray that they don't become poisonous species.
