Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 59 - 55: New Module! Village Guard Team

[Village Guard Team (LV MAX): Form one or more Village Guard Teams. They will patrol your villages and territory, protect the native and production-type villagers living within, and repel any enemies who dare to invade. If any units surrender as prisoners after a battle, the team will automatically recruit them, turning them into Divine Chosen Soldiers with 100% loyalty under your command.]

[Note 1: You can obtain real-time status information and locate the current position of the Village Guard Team, regardless of distance or any form of jamming, but you cannot share each other’s field of view.]

[Note 2: The prisoner units that a Village Guard Team can recruit are affected by the "Recruit Prisoners" Talent, as well as the type of creature... If they encounter hostile creatures of the same race, it is easier for the Village Guard Team to capture them. If the racial gap is too large, to the point where communication is impossible, they cannot be captured.]

[Note 3: All members of the Guard Team must be "Divine Chosen Soldier" units.]

Okay.

’So it was this module.’

’No wonder the Desert Giant Wolf could suddenly capture a pack of wild Forest Wolves.’

’As for the effects of this module...’

’Hmm...’

’It feels...’

’...pretty useful...’

According to the rules of the Lord World, if a player didn’t have the Eye of All-Seeing treasure, they had no way of monitoring troop movements outside their field of view.

Just like when Gale’s three Warrior Legions were taken out by Qin Feng in batches, that guy didn’t react at all from start to finish, let alone issue any warnings or prepare any defenses.

Now with the Village Guard Team, Qin Feng could monitor the movements of his troops from a distance.

Although he couldn’t directly command the Village Guard Team in battle, he could at least receive news the moment they were ambushed and dispatch main forces to support them.

This was similar to when the Poison Arrow Tribe was besieged by the Withered Leaf Tribe’s Ratmen. Qin Feng was able to receive a system notification about the "village burning" right away, which also let him find the Poison Arrow Tribe’s exact location.

For other Lord Players who didn’t have this kind of "Riding and Cutting" Talent...

...like Zhao Chuan, who was already dead and gone.

He would have had to first pledge allegiance to the Withered Leaf Tribe, and then wait until the tribe’s main Ratman forces were completely wiped out by the enemy before finally receiving something like a "post-battle statistics" report at the very end. And he still wouldn’t even know where the main Ratman forces had died...

’Is that useful?’

’Heh, what’s done is done. It’d be a miracle if that was useful!’

Besides the advance danger warnings, this new module also had a special clause, written very clearly—the ability to ignore any jamming, get the Village Guard Team’s current status in real time, and locate their position.

Without a doubt, treasures designed specifically to counter the Eye of All-Seeing would appear in the future, preventing players from obtaining key intelligence on distant enemies at "zero cost."

Or perhaps signal-jamming zones, similar to a Hafke radar station, that could block the positioning link between Lord Players and their expeditionary forces.

That’s when the "Village Guard Team" would come into play.

Since it said it could ignore all forms of jamming, it had to be a Law Power that transcended any jamming ability in the Lord World.

Beyond that, the Village Guard Team module’s greatest use was probably granting Qin Feng’s Divine Chosen Legion the autonomy to capture enemy prisoners.

This would save Qin Feng a ton of free time, allowing him to focus on training his "One-Handed Weapon Proficiency" and "Shield Guard Proficiency" in the Warrior Training Camp instead of having to run out with the army every day, thereby improving his ability to counterattack when enemies got in close.

At the same time, since there could be more than one Village Guard Team, Qin Feng’s overall efficiency in subjugating the various red-named animals in the forest would also be several times faster than before...

"Okay."

"Thinking about it..."

"This thing is actually quite useful."

"It’s just like ’Village Management’ back then. It didn’t seem like much at first glance, but its actual effect is heaven-defying."

With that thought, Qin Feng looked at the Ratman Warriors before him and replied:

"Yuri, you guys continue training your Archery Skills for now. Don’t worry about training with One-Handed Weapons or Shield Guard yet. Wait until our blacksmiths design exclusive equipment suitable for you."

"Perhaps."

"You’ll be better suited for other types of weapons."

"When that time comes, I’ll also arrange for more suitable training camp buildings to improve your Combat Skills."

Next, he looked at the villager in charge of building the Arrow Towers and said:

"As for the Arrow Towers... you decide. Assign as many people as you need."

"My only requirement is that they can monitor the entire territory 24/7, ensuring no ’rats’ sneak in, and that the horns of battle are sounded before the enemy reaches the Lord’s Hall."

Finally, Qin Feng turned to the villager who had led the Desert Giant Wolf over, his tone becoming a bit lighter:

"As for you?"

"There’s nothing more for you here. Go on back to work. The sooner you finish today’s tasks, the sooner you can go home and rest."

Suddenly, his tone shifted, a hint of a smile in his eyes:

"If you all can finish the remaining buildings I’ve scheduled for today."

"Then I’ll allow you all to have a little celebration tonight. Even if you get drunk on ale and sleep in tomorrow, delaying your work, it’s fine..."

Hearing this, the first villager and the Ratman, Yuri, both bowed and said:

"Yes."

"Lord."

However, the villager who had been promised a celebration with drinks tonight straightened his back and declared righteously:

"We won’t!"

"Lord!"

"It is our honor to work for you, Lord!"

"We will never let anything shake our work efficiency or affect your territorial expansion!"

’Excellent, excellent!’

’As expected of Divine Chosen Villagers with 100% Loyalty!’

’Look at this awareness!’

’This young comrade has a truly progressive heart!’

After dismissing this villager of such high morale, Qin Feng called over the Desert Giant Wolf that had captured six Forest Wolves on its own. He had two Blacksmith Masters fit the gradually cooling Heavy Wolf Armor onto it.

Immediately after, Qin Feng ordered one of the Blacksmith Masters and another villager to mount the fully armed Desert Giant Wolf and head to the Poison Arrow Tribe’s village to the north. They were to show the Heavy Wolf Armor to Dongzhua and Ka and ask if the Ratman artisans in their village could replicate the same style of Heavy Wolf Armor.

If not, the blacksmith was to stay there and personally teach the Ratmen how to forge various weapons and equipment.

As long as those Ratmen could understand the principles and techniques of forging and possessed a certain aptitude for it, then the villager who went with them was to immediately build a new Blacksmith Shop there. It would serve as the Poison Arrow Tribe’s future "Military Factory," dedicated to forging all kinds of military equipment for both sides.

Furthermore, the villager was also to help the Poison Arrow Tribe build several Arrow Towers, as well as an Archer Training Camp and a Warrior Training Camp, to enhance the village’s self-defense capabilities.

Afterward, Qin Feng would first observe the specific effects of "improving" the village in this way.

If the results were significant, he would immediately roll out this model to the other Ratman Tribes, doing everything in his power to strengthen these future "subjects" and turn them into a force to be reckoned with...
