Chapter 46: The Leopard-Headed Warrior: Lin Chong’s Rise
According to the system's explanation, the card was one of the rarest items in the Ring World: the Summon Card!
"Using the Summon Card, the host can randomly summon a famous historical figure. The system will buy it back for 50,000 silver coins per card."
"50,000 silver! That's a fortune!" Ronald's eyes widened. After some hesitation, he finally decided to use the rare card.
Ding! Host has summoned a historical figure: Lin Chong!
Lin Chong: Body Refining Realm Level 2, Command 81, Politics 33, Strategy 32.Trait: Trainer.Once the commander of the 800,000 elite Imperial Guard in Tokyo, Lin Chong excelled in training troops. His soldiers' combat strength increases by 10%.
"Lin Chong!" Ronald froze, a mix of surprise and disappointment filling his heart.He was thrilled with the result. Lin Chong's attributes were impressive—81 in command was comparable to Liu Long, a talent who could lead on his own.However, what Ronald really needed right now was a civil official to help manage the affairs of his growing domain.
Ding!The system has implanted memories into Lin Chong. He will be joining the host shortly.
Nodding, Ronald exited the system interface. There were matters to settle after the battle.
Time flew by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
When his consciousness returned to his physical body, the cave was filled with eight others.He had spent 80,000 silver coins to bring out these eight colonists from the Hunter Fleet. Looking at the four men and four women, Ronald spoke solemnly.
"We're establishing a Hunter Special Forces unit: Black Moon. You will be the captain."
The captain, Black Moon, was a young woman with a cold and resolute expression. Her strength was at the Body Refining Realm Level 2, while the others in the team were at Level 1.The colonists from the Hunter Fleet had undergone harsh training. Not only were they powerful, but they also had extensive experience in special operations.
In Ronald's plan, this would be the most elite force in his domain—an unshakable sword that could pierce the enemy's heart at a crucial moment!
Three days later, at the barracks and meeting room.
With everyone gathered, Ronald didn't waste time and began the meeting.
"Gentlemen, today's meeting has two main topics. First, the construction of the walls."
"Ah Qiang, can you update us on the status of the wall construction?"
Ah Qiang, looking at the generals present, replied, "The wall has begun construction. We're using a mix of blue stone and cement, so the wall's durability is unquestionable. The current issue is the height, thickness, and materials for the gates. I believe everyone here has more experience in this than I do."
The room fell into thought, and after a moment, Liu Long spoke up.
"Master, my suggestion is to build the walls to the standards of the royal city—six zhang high and two zhang wide. This should be sufficient to withstand most siege weapons."
Ronald nodded. "Is everyone in agreement with this?"
The others answered in unison. "We have no objections."
With a slight smile, Ronald suddenly asked, "Liu Long, what are the common siege weapons on the continent?"
"Master, except for the human race, most Yellow-tier races do not possess large-scale siege weapons. They mainly use siege ladders. As for humans, they use siege rams, catapults, and the like. As for the Xuan-tier races, I'm not sure."
Ronald's eyes narrowed as he shifted the conversation. "If the Elves were to attack, how do you think they would go about it?"
The room fell silent. Everyone exchanged puzzled glances—none of them had considered this possibility.
After a moment of thought, Liu Long responded.
"I've heard that the Elves are skilled with bows and arrows, and they also have mysterious mages. I believe they would first use their archers to suppress the defenders, and once the defenses are weakened, they would move in for a direct assault."
