Chapter Twenty-Seven: Being Preceded by Others
Looking at the dusty militia in front of him, even with blood on his face, Tang Han's heart sank and asked hurriedly: "What the hell is going on? How did the wound on your face come from?"
The militia was one of the teams that sent to protect the mining team this time.
"Reported to you, we have been following the river and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain on the third day. After preliminary investigation, we found that the mountain was indeed a stone mountain, but after inspection, we found that the stones on the mountain were too brittle and were not suitable for use as construction stones. Then we continued to search, and when we walked around the other side of the mountain, we found that the mountain contained iron ore. According to the blacksmith, the iron ore content was not low and belonged to the rich iron ore."
The militia replied gasping.
Although the stone was not available, it found iron ore, which made Tang Han a little overjoyed.
It’s lost and harvested, it’s a muddle of all times.
"I actually found iron ore? OK! Keep talking." Tang Han was excited and urged.
"When we were preparing to collect more ore testing, we were suddenly attacked, and the team lost three brothers. However, we also killed two attackers and captured one. Because of the language, we could not interrogate the prisoners. The captain of the Dynasty finally decided to find a secret place to camp first, and then further inquire about the news. Later, after a day of observation, we found that there was an unknown team near the iron ore, and the total number was initially judged that it was about 200. The captain of the Dynasty thought it was not appropriate to act rashly, so he quickly sent me back to report to the emperor."
The militia gradually became more and more excited. He told the story clearly, which made Tang Han feel like listening to the story.
"What weapons did these attackers use?" Tang Han asked after hearing this.
"They used a variety of weapons, including wooden spears, bows and arrows, and some bronze weapons, but no iron weapons were found."
"You are so clear and clever, what's your name?" Tang Han asked with interest.
"Report to you, my name is Chen Zhou." The militia replied in a deep voice.
"Okay, Chen Zhou, you performed well. What's the matter with the injury on your face?" Tang Han nodded and asked.
Knowing that the mining team was safe, Tang Han temporarily calmed down and began to care about his subordinates' injuries.
"It's okay. This is the one that was cut by branches when I came back. It will be fine in two days." Chen Zhou was a little shy and touched his face.
"Don't be careless, go down and take a break and treat the wound. I know the matter, and leave the rest to me." Tang Han patted his shoulder and smiled.
Chen Zhou was very moved, nodded quickly, bowed and left.
Tang Han pressed the hilt of the knife and paced back and forth on the ground, thinking about countermeasures.
The discovery of iron ore can be said to be an unexpected surprise, but unexpectedly it was occupied. Moreover, according to Chen Zhou's information, these people did not mine these iron ore, which may be due to technical reasons or the discovery may not be discovered.
Judging from their weapons, these people should be bandits and bandits, and it is very likely that they had occupied the iron ore by chance without knowing it.
Tang Han is determined to win the iron mine. Since that is the case, he has to find a way to kill these people, otherwise he will not be able to mine the iron mine smoothly.
But how to kill these people is another problem.
After all, Tang Han’s troops are very limited now, and the total strength is less than fifty. There are quite a few people in the Hei Shui Tribe, but Tang Han is not at ease with them now.
Unless the power at hand is enough to suppress them, they will consider letting them go into battle. After all, Tang Han is still using his own force to shock and empty city strategies to stabilize them.
Once he brought all the militias out in full swing, it is hard to say whether these people will rebel. Of course, Tang Han would not take this risk.
It seems unreliable to lead the snake out of the hole and set up an ambush halfway. After all, it is hard to say whether the other party can take the bait, and it is hard to say how much it can be drawn out even if it takes the bait.
After thinking about it, Tang Han doesn't seem to have any good solutions at the moment.
After walking back and forth for many steps, Tang Han finally made a decision.
One word: wait.
What are you waiting for? Of course, you are waiting for your own title to be upgraded again. Your current title is a servant. Only after you upgrade from an attendant to a knight can you start summoning regular troops in the barracks.
With archers and spearmen, and even the hammer soldiers and light cavalry in the Mercenary Inn, even if the number is not too large, Tang Han is confident of killing these people in one fell swoop.
To upgrade to the Knight, you must spend 30 reputation points.
Tang Han looked at the system and found that his current reputation value was only 23 points. Therefore, it is urgent to quickly improve his reputation value.
Methods to increase reputation include increasing food supply, providing people with a place to rely on their faith, ensuring safety, providing good public security and sanitation environment, and abundant entertainment activities.
Among these items, Tang Han is doing the work of ensuring safety and good public security. There is room for operation in increasing the food supply, but the current food reserves are not large. If the supply is increased, it may cause food to be eaten for the first time, and it will be troublesome if the food is not accepted by the emperor.
As for entertainment activities, there is no such condition yet. Everyone is very busy and there is no extra man to do these things.
After all, it is more reliable to provide the people with a place to surrender their faith.
According to Tang Han's experience, in the game, the places with the most reputation sources are monasteries and temples.
If you change to the reality, you will be a temple dedicated to the deity of God.
Originally, Tang Han planned to build the temple later, but now it seems that it is time to have to build it.
After doing it, Tang Han thought for a while, and sold some of the timber resources in the market, and then bought a sufficient amount of stone from the market.
When the stone and wood needed to build the temple were prepared, Tang Han issued an order to summon the temple to the system.
According to the system prompts, Tang Han chose the Human Emperor Nuwa as the god worshipped in the first temple.
The location of the temple, Tang Han chose a place one mile away from the east of Chang'an City.
In order to completely intimidate the Hei Shui Tribe, Tang Han was brought over by the Hei Shui Tribe before he began to summon him.
"You all know that I am the messenger sent by your great witch god Alpha to save you, but what I want to tell you is that I am not only the messenger of your witch god Alpha, but I am also the messenger of the god Nuwa who is ten thousand times greater than Alpha. In order to prove this to you, I will personally summon the temple dedicated to Nuwa."
"Open your eyes and look at the clearings in front of you. There is nothing here now. But in a moment, a great building will appear here, so that you can see with your own eyes what a miracle is."
Standing on a temporary wooden platform, Tang Han first pretended to bow to the sky, and then fooled the people of the Black Water Tribe with a serious look. When he knew that he was expecting, he quietly said to the system: "Open the special effects of summoning buildings, try to slow down as much as possible, and don't show up with a 'biu' sound."
