Wasteland Lord: Starting from Thirty Days to Live

Vittorio stared wide-eyed at the new module that appeared before him, clicking on it with a mixture of confusion and anticipation, wanting to see what it contained.

After three minutes of exploration, he had a complete understanding of the module.

Simply put, this is a war simulation sandbox.

When a lord has the idea of ​​"conquering", a corresponding conquest sandbox will be displayed on the map, and a certain amount of lord points can be consumed to conduct war simulation on this sandbox.

The simulation is completely consistent with the combat power, scene, and monster situation in reality, and can be said to be 99% accurate.

In other words, if you encounter a battle you are unsure about, you can activate this sandbox function in advance to simulate the battle and estimate the losses to determine whether to launch an attack.

Secondly, this system will provide a simple summary of the combat strength currently possessed by the territory.

As the system shows, he currently possesses two knights who have cultivated and forged their bodies in the Shaping Realm.

More than 90 adult men served as the basic fighting force.

The rate of weapon possession among them is 80%, meaning that most of them can fight with swords or spears, while a small number can only fight using farm tools and other similar items.

Their armor coverage rate was only 30%, and that included the 20-odd people Vittorio brought with him. If you exclude these 20-odd outsiders, it can be said that the local combatants basically had no decent protective armor.

This is understandable, because even Edmund, the former leader of the survivors, was only wearing a tattered half-armor.

Of these 90 people, 40 were skilled in combat and proficient in using swords and spears. The rest were half farmers and half warriors, just like Henry, whom we saw on the city wall. They were farmers in normal times and only became combatants when monsters attacked.

Of course, this is also a helpless move due to a shortage of manpower.

This is the system's statistics on the current combat strength and equipment in his camp.

It was nothing short of a miracle that they were able to defeat those magical beasts on the night of the Crimson Eyes.

If it weren't for their skillful use of tactics and the two knights' formidable fighting prowess, they might have truly been overwhelmed by the tide of monsters.

In short, it's a system that allows you to intuitively see your current combat strength and your outward expansion goals.

The targets that can be conquered currently displayed before him are roughly as follows.

The first one is the largest clay village at the foot of the mountain, which is also the place we discussed before where level two magical beasts are hidden.

There are also two smaller villages in the vicinity: Shikeng Village, which produces stone, and another village where people make a living by fishing.

The simulation showed that the clay village required 200 lord points, while the other two villages only required 100 points, indicating that the difficulty of conquering them was the determining factor.

However, for Vittorio now, even the clay village no longer poses a significant threat.

Because he has two knights in the shaping stage, one of whom, Edmund, is even halfway to the Heart Forging stage. Even in a righteous two-on-one fight, he can still defeat a level two magical beast.

However, Vittorio is not the kind of person who enjoys unnecessary adventures, although he loves to have fun, especially in this kind of matter.

Therefore, if the priority is to maintain stability, the first priority should definitely be to attack Shikeng Village.

Vittorio initially set the time for the campaign to begin a month later.

Because Ethan's wooden recurve bow and bone weapon will be completed in a month.

Vittorio told Edmund that he wanted to attack Stone Pit Village to obtain stone, and Edmund readily agreed.

In short, all we need to do now is wait for the new equipment to arrive.

…………

……

A month later, Vittorio sat in his room, staring at the parchment and observing any changes on it.

The parchment contained the following information.

[The conquest of Shiken Village is underway in simulation...]

This simulated sandbox, like the 3D model in the territory module, is a 1:1 replica of reality, as are the characters.

At this moment, Vittorio could see thirty tiny figures, each the size of a thumb, walking into the sand table of "Stone Pit Village".

Shiken Village is 400 meters long from east to west and 200 meters long from north to south. In the center is a stone square, on which are piled many stones with carved patterns, which were once used for display.

One hundred meters southeast of the village is an open-pit mine, which is the largest quarry in the village.

Next to the quarry are two large buildings, which are stone processing workshops, and next to the workshops is a stone warehouse.

That warehouse was the exploration team's destination.

In addition, the simulation allows players to freely choose to possess friendly units.

Vittorio naturally didn't choose Edmund, because it's like a novice player using a pro player's account, which would affect the pro player's rating.

If Vittorio possesses Edmund, he will have to fight in place of Edmund, which will lower the success rate of the simulation.

Vittorio then focused his attention on one of the unnamed soldiers and chose to possess him.

Vittorio's vision changed with a wave of dizziness.

In one eye, he had arrived at an abandoned village.

"Hey! Stop daydreaming, now's not the time to wander around!"

Someone tugged at Vittorio, and only then did Vittorio realize that he had successfully possessed the body.

He glanced around, carefully observing the surrounding scenery.

A faint black miasma permeated the air, and the stone gate in front of them had completely collapsed.

Looking into the village from here, the desolation is palpable. Overgrown weeds have spread to half of the houses, and no living creatures walk among them. Only gusts of wind blow by, swaying the weeds in the breeze, reminding people that this is still a human world.

Vittorio squinted, a thoughtful expression on his face.

This simulation function is quite powerful. Everything you see is indistinguishable from reality. If someone is unknowingly thrown into this simulation, they might even think it is the real world.

"Gentlemen, cheer up! Our objective is the stone warehouse, but we must also thoroughly search the entire village! Look for any useful supplies!"

Vittorio looked in the direction the sound came from and saw that it was Edmund.

Edmund's image was identical to the real person, even his voice and serious, deep tone were exactly the same.

The only difference is that Edmund wields a bone greatsword.

This bone greatsword is about 1.4 meters long and about 10 centimeters wide at its widest point. At first glance, it looks like a huge door panel. If it were to stand upright, even a strong man who is 1.8 meters tall would not appear too tall in front of it.

Although this greatsword is made of bone, it is so huge that its weight is obviously heavy, weighing more than 80 kilograms in total.

This thing can hardly be called a weapon; it's more like a bulky, large machine.

Even with such a heavy object, Edmund carried it on his shoulder with ease, without feeling the slightest bit of strain.

Vittorio knew the reason, because Edmund had always been the one who used a greatsword as a weapon.

And this enormous bone greatsword was specially made for him by Ethan—Bear Blade!
