Player Awakening: I Become A Lord In Game-Like World-Chapter 20: Waiting for the Moment to Invade

Caleb ordered one of his heavy scout units to go on a short recon in the Great_Dao town hall area.

The man knew that Great_Dao was not a noob player, it could be seen from the way he managed his city.

But Caleb was confident in the abilities of his army units. It was fine for him to build a palisade wall to protect his city, but it would be useless if Caleb's Cavalry and Infantry troops attacked.

[UNIT INFO]

[Unit Name: Heavy Scout]

[Train: Cavalry]

[Idle Stance]

Liliana has returned to her town hall as she has some business to take care of. Although Liliana was his friend, Caleb would not be careless and tell her the exact time of his invasion of Great_Dao's town hall.

Through the vision shared by the heavy scout unit, Caleb could see that the entire area of the player's town hall was tightly guarded by many palisade walls.

Not only that, dozens of militias were also on standby in the city center, totaling 25 militia units.

[One incoming message!]

An incoming message in Caleb's player inbox. The man had expected it, Great_Dao must have sent the message to him in response to the appearance of the heavy scout unit in his town hall area.

[Sender: Great_Dao]

[Kingdom Name: Demonic_sect_666]

[Hey, asshole. What are you gonna do? Pull back your units before I come and attack you!]

Caleb smiled at the message he received. Not wanting to respond to Great_Dao's anger, he pulled back his heavy scout units away from the town hall.

"At least I have to destroy one palisade wall first so that I have a gap to enter the city," explained Caleb.

He looked to the side, watching his 32 units of troops consisting of 16 Light Swordsman units and 16 Heavy Scout units.

If Caleb chooses to attack now, the battle will be fierce, especially when the player hiding in the town hall.

'He may be on full alert after the appearance of my army unit. I'd better wait until tomorrow, he might be caught off guard because he thinks the attack won't happen,' Caleb explained.

[Recipient: Great_Dao]

[Kingdom Name: Demonic_Sect_666]

[I'm sorry. I was just exploring the area. I didn't know it would offend you]

[I'll be careful from now on]

[Message sent]

The psychological game began, Caleb acted as an inferior to Great_Dao in the hope of feeling satisfied and powerful in Great_Dao's heart with the current number of troops.

It was also enough to prove that Caleb had no ill intentions towards him, at least as clearly stated in the message.

If Great_Dao was wary, the obvious step he could take was to increase his troop units and build an outpost in the same direction as RustyAxe's town hall.

"Hopefully he'll be tempted by my message. That way, he won't be so wary," Caleb explained.

[One incoming message!]

[Sender: Great_Dao]

[Kingdom Name: Demonic_Sect_666]

[That's how you should be. We can be good friends if you keep listening to me]

[We are looking for the location of the bitch. Let me know if you find her new town hall, because she is still listed on the diplomacy menu. That's a sign she's not dead yet]

Caleb replied to the message with an approving attitude, as if he were creating an image of supporting Great_Dao's efforts to find Liliana's location. However, it was all a trick.

"With the First Swordsman and First Bowman technology about to be completed, I can build my army unit to be stronger than it is now," explained Caleb.

He looked back and saw the progress of the two ongoing technology researches, from a total of six hours needed, now only three hours remained.

"Three more hours. The time shows two o'clock in the afternoon, it looks like I can produce the new army units at night," explained Caleb.

"All right. If that's what it takes to ensure my victory, then I'll wait for it."

Caleb opened the building menu and saw that there were two new buildings that had not been built yet, Blacksmith and Farm.

Not only that, Caleb saw that there were three technologies that had not been researched in the economic building sector, these three technologies came from two different buildings: Mill and Town Hall.

There was no harm in one player conducting a large amount of technological research, as long as the resources needed were sufficient and abundant.

Caleb could have done technology research on as many as 100 technologies at the same time.

However, at the moment he does not have the availability of the number of technologies that can be researched.

He pressed the Mill building and saw that there was a technology available to be researched, it was Early Irrigation technology.

With this technology, the maximum number of workers in Lumber can only accommodate 10 workers, but it can be increased to a maximum of 15.

[Technology Research]

[Technology Type: Economy]

[Building: Mill]

[Technology Name: Early Irrigation]

[Cost: 200 wood || 300 food || 100 gold || 150 stone]

[Increase worker capacity +5]

[Research Time:]

[00:02:59:59]

Research also began with a research time of three hours, faster than doing research on First Bowman or First Swordsman.

Of course, research for economic building types can sometimes be faster than military.

However, Caleb did not deny that the costs required for technology research were increasing.

Previously, it might have been cheaper because it was at the initial town hall level, but the more you upgrade the town hall, the more the latest technologies become available.

The latest technology sometimes requires a lot of resources. For those who are limited by a minimum amount of resources, this can be a hindrance.

"Let's see how about research in the town hall," explained Caleb.

Caleb focused his attention on the town hall building. There, he pressed the icon and brought up an information panel relating to the status of the town hall, along with two technologies available to research.

[1. Production Wheelbarrow]

[Increases worker efficiency by 10%]

[2. Long Range Vision]

[Increases town hall range by +7]

Between the two, the costs required for each technology were not explained. However, of the two technologies, Caleb would prioritize Long Range Vision.

This was because the situation on the Izoya Continent was not going well, the dispute between Liliana and CL_Ellise could have had an impact on him, not to mention the psywar that the player Great_Dao was still conducting.

By increasing the town hall's range of attack or defense, it would be difficult for enemy forces to approach the city center or even destroy it. That was much better.

For worker efficiency, Caleb will do it after the Long Range Vision research has been completed.

Caleb pressed the second technology section, suddenly a confirmation panel appeared and Caleb agreed to start the technology research.

[Technology Research]

[Technology Type: Economy]

[Building: Town Hall]

[Technology Name: Long Range Vision]

[Cost: 300 wood || 300 food || 300 gold || 300 stone]

[Increase range ATK and DEF town hall +7]

[Research Time:]

[00:06:59:59]

"Seven hours? That's a long time to complete the technology research," Caleb explained.

Caleb sighed, he didn't expect the time it would take to complete the technology to be quite long, almost 7 hours.

Well, what's done is done. If he cancels the research, then all the resources that have been spent will be wasted. His best option was to let the technology be completed.

"Oh well. If I have to wait, then I'll wait until it's finished," replied Caleb.

Caleb glanced at the workers at the Mill. The amount of resources in the bushes was almost gone, which meant that Caleb had to find other alternatives to supply his food resources. If not, then he would have difficulties in the future.

Of the 10 workers at the Mill, Caleb ordered one worker to temporarily take on the role of Builder. They had to build a farm.

That's right! A farm building can be used as another alternative to find unlimited food resources.

[Construction begins]

[Building: Farm]

[Building Type: Economic Building]

[Cost: 100 wood || 100 food]

[Construction duration: ]

[00:00:59:59]

Building a farm from scratch does require a long construction time, but once the fertile soil and farm have been built, replanting will not take as long as the initial farm construction time.

"I still have a long way to go to become the ruler of this continent. Why do it directly in this game? It feels mind-exhausting rather than playing it from the PC game," Caleb complained.

"Whatever happens, I have to prioritize my safety. I can't die."
