"Everyone, this entire area in front of the territory gate needs to be dug into a slope like this, got it?"
"Yes, Lord! Don't worry!"
"Lord, Lord, is this wooden wall acceptable?"
Yes! Do it like this! We need at least five rows of these wooden walls!"
"Alright! Brothers, let's get to work..."
Early in the morning, the territory was a scene of busting activity.
Last night, Qin Feng not only recruited 16 Archer but also built two workshops in the territory.
At the same time, using the workshop, he produced 500 wooden arrows, 50 wooden spike traps, 50 wooden hammers, and a large quantity of wooden stakes, planks, and wooden nails after a night of production.
Currently, Qin Feng was teaching the villagers how to set traps, build wooden walls, and dig slopes.
In Qin Feng's vision, the narrow territory entrance, combined with a 45 degree slope, five layers of wooden walls, and wooden spike traps, would create a defensive structure.
This kind of defensive work should effectively slow down the enemy's speed and create opportunities for the archers to deal damage.
As for the effect... Qin Feng could only say that he had done his best...
"Lord, a group of Fox Clan Members has arrived, saying they wish to pledge allegiance to you."
The construction work had been going on for over two hours when an Archer suddenly ran back from the forest to the territory, pointing at seven or eight Fox Clan Members a few hundred meters away, and respectfully reported.
Qin Feng's heart immediately filled with joy when he heard this.
"Hmm, let her come over."
Looking at Hu Ling, Qin Feng nodded.
The next moment, as if suddenly remembering something, Qin Feng looked at the archer nearby.
"How is it going on your side?"
"Reporting to the Lord, it's going very smoothly on our side. In just over two hours, we have already killed 13 magical beasts, including one elite level magical beast."
"Good, good, good! Well done!"
The archer's answer made Qin Feng exclaim in praise, not holding back his compliments.
Sure enough, there is strength in numbers... 16 archer, in just over two hours of hunting, had already caught up with Qin Feng's daily hunting volume.
It seems today, he would gain quite a few soul crystals and food!
"Qin Feng, I've come to join you..."
Leading her Citizens, Hu Ling slowly walked towards Qin Feng, greeting him in a very informal manner.
Her demeanor was truly surprising!
It was as if she was saying, "This old lady has nothing to hide in front of you. I'm laying my cards on the table and letting myself go!"
However... Qin Feng didn't pay attention to any of that.
To be precise, in Qin Feng's line of sight, there was only one person at that moment—a pure-looking Fox Clan woman, like a fairy descended to the mortal world!
That Fox Clan woman was simply too beautiful! Her entire aura was fresh and refined!
Compared to her, the originally quite good-looking Hu Ling instantly became a maid!
"Hey, hey, hey... Don't be so lecherous..."
She had already walked up to Qin Feng, but he still hadn't even given her a proper look, his gaze constantly fixed on the Fox Clan woman beside her.
This made Hu Ling very speechless, so speechless that she grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Cough... Let's quickly make the handover. Don't you still have a mission to do?"
Hearing Hu Ling's complaint, Qin Feng finally came back to his senses, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and then skillfully changed the subject.
Seeing this, Hu Ling rolled her eyes fiercely but didn't pursue the matter, as her time was genuinely tight.
"Snow Zither, from now on, he is your Lord!"
Looking at the Fox Clan woman beside her, Hu Ling commanded in an unquestionable tone, then left the territory to attend to her own mission.
The Fox Clan woman, named "Snow Zither," did not speak, merely bowed respectfully, and then made no other movements.
No! Not no!
Just in that instant, Qin Feng clearly detected a hint of sadness in Snow Zither's eyes.
It was the sadness of being abandoned by her Lord!
"Ding... You have gained the elite-level Attendant, Snow Zither..."
Suddenly, a notification sound appeared in Qin Feng's mind.
The next moment, Snow Zither's data panel appeared before Qin Feng, startling him.
Goodness!
Although both were elite-level Attendants, the difference was significant!
Audi, the research-type Mage, had only one profession, "Mage," and his skills were pitifully few, and he couldn't fight at all.
But Snow Zither, in front of him, was different.
Snow Zither had three professions: "Dancer," "Spy," and "Assassin," and she had seven or eight skills!
As for combat, haha, with the "Assassin" profession, wasn't that proof enough?
The only regrettable thing was that Snow Zither's loyalty was only a meager 40.
But that was understandable... An Attendant who was traded would naturally not have high initial loyalty.
"Snow Zither, welcome to our big family. From now on, we are one family. Let's work hard for a better tomorrow!"
To increase Snow Zither's loyalty and to make her feel some sense of belonging to him as her Lord, Qin Feng once again pulled out his trump card: "toxic chicken soup."
But unfortunately... the toxic chicken soup that worked wonders on Audi had no effect on Snow Zither.
This made Qin Feng somewhat embarrassed.
"Uh... Snow Zither, you've just arrived in the territory. How about you get familiar with the environment and rest for a bit?"
Looking at the expressionless Snow Zither, Qin Feng suggested awkwardly.
This suggestion immediately made Audi, who was not far away, widen his eyes in disbelief.
"What? You can rest as soon as you arrive? What kind of treatment is this!"
"This old man, I worked for a full 18 hours yesterday before I could rest!"
Audi was shocked, and a strong sense of envy rose in his heart, making him feel like crying.
However, this envy only lasted until noon.
At lunchtime, when Audi saw the Villagers, each with a happy expression, eating meat heartily, Audi immediately felt relieved.
He felt that all the effort and sacrifices were worth it...
"Ding... Villager Wu Dahei has learned the profession (Builder) through practice..."
"Ding... Territory achievement [Builder] unlocked, rewarding building blueprint (Construction Hut), gaining Trial Score * 200..."
After lunch, Qin Feng led the Villagers to work again.
But not long after, a notification sound appeared in Qin Feng's mind.
This made Qin Feng overjoyed.
Construction Hut!
With this building, Qin Feng would be able to unlock more building materials and then greatly upgrade the territory's defenses.
It was just... a bit of a pity.
All the timber stockpiled over the past two days had already been used up by Qin Feng.
Now, even if he unlocked the [Construction Hut], he couldn't build it.
But this couldn't be blamed on Qin Feng, as he hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.
Fortunately, as long as the [Construction Hut] was unlocked, he would eventually be able to build it!
"Hehe, first Snow Zither, then the Construction Hut, these are truly continuous surprises..."
"I just wonder if there will be any other surprises!"
Qin Feng thought to himself, his heart filled with anticipation.
However, no more surprises appeared. Instead, only 6 hours remained until the first wave of attacks arrived...
