News that a huge group of horse thieves appeared in the Longyou area quickly spread, causing panic among players who leveled in the wilderness. No one is the opponent of horse thieves in the wilderness. It is not easy for players to level up. No one wants to be killed by horse thieves in vain and hide in the nearest villages. Many villages with few players usually squeezed in thousands of people.

The group of horse thieves first appeared near the village west of Longyou, moving southeastward, and constantly harassing the villages along the way. If not unexpectedly, they will go down the river and rob all the villages. The time to arrive at Xiaobai Village will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After receiving the news, Zhan Xiaobai immediately asked Qiushui and the young hero of Chunqiu to strengthen the village's defense. He also asked Ah Fei to bring back all the brothers who were leveling outside. Qiushui has been organizing manpower to crack down on horse thieves and protect farmers from collecting grain in the past two days, so he did not panic and arranged the players who flocked into the village in an orderly manner.

Zhan Xiaobai was discussing with Jianba how to deal with this sudden change. He originally wanted to use his trade skills to force the Tiger and Leopard Village to suppress him before collecting grain, but the horse thief appeared in advance and disrupted his plan. He could no longer stick to the original method and had to change his strategy as soon as possible.

During the riot of horse thieves, the distribution of players' power in various villages in Longyou immediately became extremely clear.

South of the river,

Xiaobai Village is the first of all villages, with a total number of players reaching about 4,100, of which more than 3,500 are the first profession of warrior profession, and the rest are the first professions of other professions. The upstream Daqi Village has about 1,900 players. The downstream Wutong Village has become regular, and because it has formed an alliance with Xiaobai Village, it has gradually grown to more than 1,400. As for Huihuang Village near Hutou Mountain Village, there are about 1,800 people. Other villages have more than 1,000 to 2,000 people.

North of the river,

Tiger and Leopard Village is far ahead, with a total number of players reaching more than 3,100, most of which are mainly warriors. In addition, there are several villages next to Tiger and Leopard Village, with more than 1,500 people and more than 1,400 people respectively. Walking northward, the number of people is roughly the same.

Among the more than 200 villages in the Longyou area, the first level is a village with 3,000 to 4,000 people, only less than 5 to 6. The second level is a village with more than 2,000 to 3,000 people, about twenty. The third level is a village with 1,000 to 2,000 people, accounting for at least half. As for villages with 1,000 people, most of them are newly established recently or have poorly managed villages, about fifty or sixty. Due to various reasons, there are dozens of villages that have been destroyed by bandits, fight between players, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and abandoned by players.

Usually, players run between villages, and it is difficult to count the accurate number of people. This is the clearest time when players stay in various villages.

In fact, according to Xiaobai Village's current strength, it is not difficult to attract more players. However, within a radius of 10 miles, the leveling point capacity is limited. The players that Xiaobai Village can accommodate now have reached its limit and cannot allow more players to upgrade smoothly within the village. The competition among players is too fierce, and many people have to transfer to other villages with few people, but occasionally use the collected herbs to Xiaobai Village to exchange for some medicine.

Although there are more than 4,000 players in Xiaobai Village, they only have one-quarter of them, and they are dependent on the four elders.

Among them, Qiu Shui gradually mastered the defense authority of the village. She could mobilize about 400 players and warriors at any time, most of them were female players. There were always a group of elite players around Chunqiu Shaoxia, and he could mobilize about 200 players at any time. Ah Fei had many loyal brothers and could mobilize more than 200 people. Sword Ba’s warriors are not many close friends, about 40 to 50, and the rest are mainly non-combat professions, including merchants and technical players.

Excluding these nearly 1,000 people, other players in Xiaobai Village belong to various gangs, families, etc., such as the Hot Blood Family, the Yi Qi Gang, and there are many various player organizations. The largest gang, the Hot Blood Family, has two or three hundred people. The Players Chamber of Commerce in Xiaobai Village is dominated by the sword bully.

Usually, most players are not obliged to assist the village in resisting foreign enemies. If they want to fight, they have to pay money to ask players for help. However, when collecting food, all players must unconditionally accept dispatch and assist in defense. This rule has become a tacit understanding between players and villages - players protect the village to collect food, and the village avoids players from being attacked in the wild.

After receiving the appointment of Zhan Xiaobai, Qiushui officially announced the takeover of the command of the village's defense. He gathered the players who flocked into the village and hoarded the soldiers at the four gates of the village.

The primary lookout tower can discover enemies three miles away in the village. Currently, there is only one lookout tower in Xiaobai Village. Qiushui asked the carpenter to take all the sixty farmers to build a lookout tower at the other three gates. It took only an hour to build them all. The agile players went up to watch. There was no blind spot in the entire village.

Two hundred pairs of horse-resisting horses and thousands of fist-sized iron quinoa are all ready.

Tiexue: Level 20 defense weapon, advanced blacksmith technology can be manufactured. Needle + 10 puncture attack, durability 5/5, 5 times used.

As early as after being attacked by horse thieves last time, Xiaobai Village organized manpower and developed countless ways to deal with horse thieves. The most fierce method is the Iron Quinoa formation. Zhan Xiaobai used most of the inferior iron ore transported from Hubao Village to make such things with a few thorns on the fist. They were deployed very quickly and could be quickly recycled. As long as the durability was not consumed, they could be reused and specifically restrained the cavalry charge. It was difficult to find such things on the ground when horse thieves charged.

Jianba pondered for a while and analyzed: "It's just that horse thieves don't attack the village. Once they attack the village, they will definitely be able to make them come and go. So I'm not careful about this. What I worry most is the market. Now that the horse thieves are in chaos, we can no longer control the market. We must take measures to restore normal order as soon as possible. Otherwise, the losses will be difficult to estimate. Even if we can control the wealth of the village without loss, the losses of the village players will be very large, slowing down the development of the village."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded and was about to speak.

A Fei was sweating profusely and hurried to the two of them, saying, "Brother, I have found out the most accurate news about the horse thief. Many players said that the horse thief attacked a large number of villages along the way, and those were purely rumors. In fact, the horse thief only attacked a very weak village and almost exploded that village. However, after robbing hundreds of kilograms of food, they took the initiative to retreat. As for other villages along the way, the horse thief only killed many players and released threats to let each village hand over the food, but did not really attack the village."

Zhan Xiaobai was surprised that they had only attacked a weak village. What was the intention of this horse thief?

"How many horse thieves are there?"
