Player Awakening: I Become A Lord In Game-Like World

Chapter 10: Caleb's Supremacy in the Early Game



***

Four hours later.

The war was raging and inevitable. The troops led by commander Leonidas began to attack the townspeople of ACCCidRAINN.

Unfortunately for the player named Darklord, he used all of his army units to attack to the south.

This caused the town hall to become unprotected. Leonidas ordered his troops to kill people before they entered the Town Hall.

If they had already entered, TH's defense damage would have increased and potentially caused casualties on Caleb's side.

Right in front of Caleb, he saw the war process taking place. Through the panel, he could move each unit to attack anything, whether villagers or buildings.

"I don't need his Town Hall."

"Destroy all buildings!" declared Caleb, clicking on Commander Leonidas' icon and aiming it towards ACCCidRAINN's Town Hall.

That brought the attention of several troop units to the Town Hall. Elsewhere, Caleb saw a player named Darklord, a 28-year-old man, running into the forest to avoid the attacks of the three Heavy Scout units chasing him.

[Battle Status]

[Kills: 18] [+17]

[Razed Building: 7] [+5]

[Unit Die: 5] [+3]

[War probability: 80% war win]

A battle status panel appeared before Caleb, explaining in detail the battle in ACCCidRAINN's town hall.

Until now, the number of kills obtained had reached 17. The number of kills could increase if Caleb's troop unit killed villagers or other troop units during the war.

In this war, Caleb's army unit has killed at least 11 villagers and 6 militia units. However, they did not stop attacking before the Darklord Player was killed.

Caleb divided their tasks. Some were ordered to destroy buildings, and others to kill Player Darklord. They split up according to the orders they had been given.

[DING! Congratulations on completing technology research]

[Technology Type: Economy]

[Building: Lumber]

[Technology Name: Double Axe]

[Production: 10/worker -> 17/worker] [+7]

[Kingdom Power: 2800] [+300]

A panel of completed technologies appeared before Caleb. The first was the Double Axe technology research from the Lumber building. The benefit of this research was an increase in hourly production from 10 to 17 per worker.

Not only that, the points on Caleb's Kingdom Power also increased by 300. Because the technology being researched was technology from level 1 buildings, the increase in kingdom power would not be so great.

[DING! Congratulations on completing technology research]

[Technology Type: Defense]

[Building: Town Hall]

[Technology Name: Eye Vision]

[Range: 7m -> 10m]

[Kingdom Power: 3200] [+400]

The technology of the Town Hall building in the form of Eye Vision has been completed. The benefit of this technology research was the increased vision range from 7 to 10m.

This was useful for the arrow attack range of the Town Hall so that enemy troop units as far as 10m could be hit by the arrow defense mechanism of the Town Hall.

The longer the range, the better the defense of the Town Hall and the town. However, Caleb had to wait for that because it required a high TH level.

For now, his best option was to upgrade all the technology in his buildings at the current Town Hall level.

[RESOURCES INFO] 

[Wood: 1272] [+320]

[Food: 1495] [+475]

[Gold: 1525] [+380]

[Stone: 500] [+200]

[Villager: 66/75] [+20 villagers] [+20 population limit]

[Idle Villager: 13]

All the resources increased because four hours had passed. However, the effect of the Double Axe technology would only be felt in the next hour of production.

With the resources he had, it was easy for Caleb to manage everything, whether it was about population or technology and construction.

Caleb looked at the idle villagers, and the number reached 13 out of 66 villagers in the city. Too many villagers are idle, so Caleb must immediately allocate those 13 people to work in several important sectors.

He assigned 2 villagers to work in Lumber, then 3 workers to work in the mill, and each gold mine and stone mine got 3 additional workers.

That decreased the idle villagers from the original 13 people to the remaining five. Caleb would let them be; they would be needed at an important time.

[DING! Congratulations, you have conquered another player's territory]

[Kingdom Name: ACCCidRAINN]

[King's name: DarkLord]

An information panel appeared before Caleb, showing that his army unit, led by commander Leonidas, had successfully killed the Player named Darklord.

Caleb opened his game map and saw Leonidas standing on the ground, still wearing his armor. From Leonidas' direction, the man was seen holding something in his hand.

That's right! The player's head has been cut off. An unusual horror for Caleb because he had never seen anything like that before in person.

Caleb responded naturally, vomiting and kneeling on the ground with a pale face. He immediately swiped the panel to stop seeing the sadistically severed human head.

"This game is crazy," Caleb complained.

Even so, Caleb had to realize that he had to accept this reality. Otherwise, he could suffer the same fate as the Darklord player.

After all the buildings collapsed and the population was slaughtered, they marched back south. The place became barren land full of ruins that could not be removed or made into a new town site.

[Conqueror gets all resources]

[Wood: 785]

[Food: 465]

[Gold: 520]

[Stone: 750]

[Villagers: 0]

[Does the host want to annex the land?]

[Yes] [No]

Caleb pressed the No button, indicating that no buildings would be transferred to Caleb's land.

The place would become a barren field without a single person inhabiting the area. It would be impossible even if they were forced to build a new town hall.

Most importantly, Caleb managed to get resources from the ACCCidRAINN town hall. The amount was quite significant and would be completely useful to Caleb.

[DING! Congratulations on getting a player item]

[2 wood bundle level 1]

[3 food bundle level 1]

[5 wood bundle level 2]

[8 fragment commander William Wallace A Class]

[5 core fragment gang monster level 1]

Caleb got those items. But, he immediately used level 1 bundles, such as wood and food. Caleb got enough additional resources by using two level 1 resource bundle items.

[Wood +300]

[Food +450]

[RESOURCES INFO] 

[Wood: 2357] [+1085]

[Food: 2410] [+915]

[Gold: 2045] [+520]

[Stone: 1250] [+750]

[Villager: 49/75]

[Idle Villager: 5]

'I thought that when I got to level 2 of the town hall, my resources addition would reach 1000. But I didn't expect it to reach 2000, except for stone,' Caleb explained.

The return march took at least 4 hours, like the march when leaving. However, at least Caleb managed to kill a player named Darklord and stop the threat that occurred.

[Friend Chat!]

[Liliana_P] [Hi, Caleb. I received a notification about a player being defeated.]

Again, Liliana informed Caleb through the friend chat page. There, she said that she received a notification about a player who had been conquered.

[Caleb] [Really? Do you know who?]

[Liliana_P] [Player named Darklord. He's the king of ACCCidRAINN's Town Hall]

'It seems that the notif panel really appeared on other players, except for me, because I defeated him,' Caleb explained.

[Liliana_P] [It's been two days, two players were defeated. Who exactly can do this?]

Just as Caleb was about to reply to the message, he was shocked by the appearance of another player who came carrying an army of 10 scout troops.

Caleb turned around and stepped closer to the Town Hall. Luckily for him, he had put 5 militia into the town hall so that the increase in building defense could be optimized.

He pressed the bell icon, ordering all townspeople to enter the town hall and their respective homes. The total number of attacks obtained became 19, and the defense became 19.

[Caleb] [It's bad! Another player is coming to invade my town hall]

[Liliana_P] [What?! Then what's your plan? Do I need to help you?]

[Caleb] [I have a plan. He won't be able to destroy my town hall]

He saw the icon of that player and his 10 scout units riding from north to south. He found the 11 men stopped in their tracks, not in range of RustyAxe's town hall arrows.

[One incoming message!]

One message arrived, Caleb immediately opened and read the contents of the message. To his surprise, the message's sender was a player who wanted to invade Caleb's town hall territory.

[Sender: D_Destroyer]

[Kingdom Name: #9845008]

[Hi. Are you the one who destroyed Darklord? There's something I want to talk to you about]

Caleb received the message. He just found out that the person who came to him was D_Destroyer. However, Caleb didn't know why the player had brought his troops to this place.

[Recipient: D_Destroyer]

[Kingdom Name: #9845008]

[Caleb] What do you want to talk about? If you want to talk, let's talk. If you wish to war, I'll go to war with you]

[Message sent]

It didn't take long for Caleb to get his new message. He opened his inbox and saw D_Destroyer replying to Caleb's message again.

[One incoming message!]

[Sender: D_Destroyer]

[Kingdom Name: #9845008]

[Hi. Darklord is really annoying. You defeated him. I thank you]

[I want to be friends with you]

"Huh? What the ....?"
