Crossbowmen!

Two hundred /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ meters range! Precision Shot! Armor Piercing effect!

Lin Feng's breathing quickened slightly.

He had been thinking before that Beacon Fire Town's long-range firepower relied mainly on the two Windchaser Archers, Wang Wu and Arrow Eye. Although the two were skilled in archery, there were only two of them after all. When encountering large-scale enemies, their long-range suppression capability was clearly insufficient.

Now, this problem was solved.

One hundred Lv13 Crossbowmen, equipped with Standard Qin Crossbows, firing in unison from that twenty-meter-high wall—what Skeleton Soldier could withstand that?

He continued reading, his gaze falling on the final item.

Lin Feng's pupils suddenly constricted.

The Great Wall!!!

The Terracotta Army!!!

The two names were like two heavy bombs exploding in his mind.

He naturally knew what these two names meant.

The Great Wall—the symbol of Great Xia civilization, a giant dragon spanning the northern frontier, a barrier that had stood for a thousand years. In the Nightmare World, if the Great Wall could actually be built...

How terrifying would that defensive power be?

And the Terracotta Army—the First Emperor's underground legion, eight thousand pottery figurines, each with a unique face, an invincible army that had slept for two thousand years. In the Nightmare World, if this legion could truly be Awakened...

Lin Feng's breathing stopped for a moment, his fingers tightening slightly, a layer of thin sweat seeping into his palms.

He hadn't not thought about what the word'special' in the Special Village Establishment Order meant.

But the weight of these two blueprints before him far exceeded his expectations.

These weren't just wonder buildings in a game; these were the two hardest 'bones' of the Great Xia civilization in the Nightmare World.

With the Great Wall standing there, it would tell all enemies: South of this line, no trespassing.

With the Terracotta Army standing there, it would tell all opponents: Great Xia's army can crawl back up to fight another battle even after death.

He forced himself to calm down and carefully recalled the information from when he first bound the Special Village Establishment Order.

【Special Gift: Randomly obtain one special unit building.】

At that time, he had only seen the Great Qin Elite Camp and thought that was everything.

But now it seemed the gift of the Special Village Establishment Order was far more than just a single barracks.

The Great Qin Elite Camp was just the 'foundation'.

And these two blueprints were the true 'core'.

It was just that the territory needed to be upgraded to county-level before he could view the specific attributes and begin construction.

"county-level..." Lin Feng murmured.

Only upon reaching county-level could he see the true face of these two blueprints and begin planning for a real Great Qin legion.

He suddenly thought of the notes on that list from Blue Star.

【Note 1: Territories established with a Special Village Establishment Order come with special units, advanced wonder blueprints...】

【Note 5: A total of three Special Village Establishment Orders dropped on Blue Star: one for Great Xia, one for the USA, and one for Europa.】

Three Special Village Establishment Orders, three territories with special units.

From what he had learned later, the other three establishment orders should have come with one advanced wonder blueprint.

But he... he had two.

One for the Great Wall, and one for the Terracotta Army.

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth slowly curled upward.

He couldn't suppress the smile.

"As expected of Great Xia's Ancestral Dragon," he said softly.

The gift the First Emperor left for his descendants was indeed the most substantial.

Standing before the Great Qin Elite Camp, gazing at that seemingly ordinary wooden door and the now-faded character 'Qin' on the lintel, a surge of indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

A month ago, he was just an ordinary high school senior, anxious about the college entrance exams every day and confused about the future.

A month later, he held the two top-tier wonder blueprints of Great Xia, possessed a town-level territory with twenty-meter walls, and commanded four hundred infantry and one hundred crossbowmen who were about to take shape.

...

After a long time, Lin Feng withdrew his thoughts and turned to leave the Great Qin Elite Camp.

He didn't immediately return to the Council Hall to rest, but instead walked slowly through the inner city, organizing the information he had just obtained as he went.

Four hundred infantry, one hundred crossbowmen. (PS: The protagonist didn't count the weakened infantry here.)

This was the maximum military force the Great Qin Elite Camp could provide.

But training required resources: each soldier needed 2 units of copper, 2 units of tin, plus 20 grey energy crystals (or 2 white ones).

Five hundred soldiers meant one thousand units of copper and one thousand units of tin.

The gap in energy crystals was not small and would need to be accumulated slowly.

Copper and tin...

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks.

Copper and tin were strategic resources. Without them, the Great Qin Elite Camp was just for show.

Although they could be bought with money, finding a stable source of ore was the long-term solution.

As he walked forward, he searched his mind for the geographical knowledge of the Nightmare World he had read before—copper mines were mostly distributed in areas with intense crustal activity or certain special geological belts; tin mines were occasionally associated with copper mines, but independent tin veins also existed.

This area...

To the east was the Eastern Swamp, full of quagmires, not looking like a place for mines.

To the south was Bone Eagle Cliff, covered in rocks, also not right.

“Meeting tomorrow,” Lin Feng decided.

“I'll have everyone pool the information they know and see if there are any copper or tin mines nearby.”

The inner city streets weren't long, and Lin Feng soon walked back to the Council Hall.

The candles in the hall had already been lit—it must have been arranged by Zhang Ping; this bookkeeper was always very thorough.

Lin Feng went up to the second floor and returned to his room.

In the room, the window was still open, and the night breeze blew in with a faint smell of sulfur. He walked to the window and took one last look at Beacon Fire Town under the moonlight.

Twenty-meter walls, twelve arrow towers, four blue city gates, and five hundred Great Qin Garrison Soldiers soon to take shape.

And those two wonder blueprints sleeping deep within the barracks.

“Six Promotion Books,” he said softly.

Then, he closed the window and lay down on the bed.

Fatigue surged like a tide, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the window, the moonlight still fell quietly on this newly reborn city.

The first night in Beacon Fire Town was steady and peaceful.
