The city gate is rising.

Rising.

At this moment, the two men who were facing away from the city gate and pushing the wheel with all their strength froze in surprise when they turned the wheel to its limit and following Luaja's instructions used the prepared latch to secure the wheel.

The two men who had been eager to see the results didn't even have time to catch their breath before hurriedly turning to look at the city gate behind them.

The shock they felt in that moment left them frozen in place, their faces filled with uncontainable astonishment.

It's rising.

It's really rising.

Looking at the gate that had risen high.

Even though the reality was right in front of them, the two still couldn't believe their eyes.

The gate that required more than a dozen people to barely lift had just been raised by only the two of them.

How is this even possible? It was simply unbelievable.

The crowd, who had no idea what a pulley system was, could only continuously marvel at the miraculous scene before them, and their gazes towards Lajia became even more respectful.

System prompt.

Congratulations to player loajia for completing the ancient city wall.

The livability of the Mingjing tribe increases by one.

Chapter 88.

Subsequent preparations system prompt.

Congratulations to player Luog for building ancient city wall.

Ming tribe livability won the sudden system prompt made Luog pause for a moment and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, building a city wall actually increases livability.

With this thought in mind, he reflected carefully and suddenly realized that it made sense.

Because of the city wall, the citizens of my tribe will live more safely in the future and they won't have to live in fear, leading to a more comfortable life.

So naturally, the livability increases, right? Luog subconsciously nodded.

Yeah, that makes sense.

In any case, this livability is a good thing.

Each point of livability can increase the work efficiency of the citizens in the territory by 10%.

And when livability reaches a certain level, it can even enhance the loyalty of the citizens.

It can be understood that since everyone lives comfortably, their work efficiency improves and they even find you more agreeable.

However, livability is not so easy to stack.

According to Gao Su, reaching a livability of three for a tribe or city is already quite challenging.

As the city develops and the population increases, there will definitely be discontent, and discontent will lower livability.

Therefore, generally speaking, cities with high livability must have nearby wonders that increase livability.

It can only be said that Lu G's luck at the beginning is quite good, as he established a tribal camp right next to a two-star natural wonder.

Back to the main topic.

The construction of a city wall has allowed Luog to establish an absolute advantage in this ancient period.

Such a large project would be a dream for other tribes in this era to accomplish.

The most crucial step in his early development plan has finally been completed at this moment.

There is still more than a month until the end of the novice protection period.

And when that time comes with his city wall in place, it's safe to say that he won't be afraid of any newcomers of the same rank coming.

Of course, in addition to this, other subsequent preparations are also progressing in an orderly manner.

Among them, the busiest department is clearly the armory, as pre-war preparations are the armory's responsibility.

The production and collection of arrows, stone projectiles, and a manufacturing of leather armor are all tasks assigned to the armory according to the distribution rules set by Lu G.

This large pile of tasks has kept all members of the armory extremely busy.

Considering the manpower shortage in the armory, Lu G quickly took action.

After the defensive works were completed, he appropriately reduced the number of lumberjacks and sent five new recruits with suitable attributes and loyalty to the armory by reallocating manpower.

In addition, the training of new soldiers and archers cannot be neglected.

Archers are a crucial ranged unit that Lu G values highly.

Therefore, he will not hold back in training the archer squad.

Previously, he had them face off against a pack of hyenas to seek breakthroughs in real combat.

During this time, although they had close protection from the black jackals and others, the members of the archer squad still faced immense pressure.

However, judging by the hyena corpses sent back recently, it's evident that results speak for themselves.

People are indeed pushed to excel under pressure.

To further ensure the safety of the archers, Luog ordered the armory to prioritize making five sets of leather armor for the range units using the hyena hides that have been brought back.

The production and research of a leather armor did not hit a bottleneck.

The entire process went very smoothly.

To put it bluntly, it was just about making a suit of clothing from tough leather.

Of course, considering mobility, the joints of the entire leather armor still needed to be made from soft leather, and the overall structure had to be much more complex than ordinary animal skin clothing.

Following the design drawings provided by Lu G, the leather armor, finger guards, long bows, and quivers were quickly produced by the members of the armory.

Additionally, Lu G equipped each archer with a bone dagger at their waist so that if they were ever caught up close by an enemy, they could draw the dagger to fight back and wouldn't be captured easily.

Once the archers dawned the complete set of ranged unit equipment meticulously matched by Lu OG, the original five member archer squad, who had previously worn animal skins and looked quite rustic, suddenly appeared imposing, even exuding a hint of a regular army's aura.

Lu G nodded repeatedly, expressing his satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the stonethrowers remained silent, their eyes filled with envy.

They had also been heavily relied upon by the chief and had enjoyed a streak of victories in battle until they encountered that group of tough hyenas.

One defeat led the chief to develop bows and establish the archer squad.

Since then, the chief had clearly placed more emphasis on the archer squad.

While the presence of the stone throwers had gradually diminished.

In fact, during this recent period, apart from their daily training, there was hardly anything else for them to do.

In contrast, the archer squad went out daily to hunt hyenas under the protection of the black jackals.

And now the new leather armor produced by the armory was also prioritized for them.

With this thought, the envy in the stonethrower's eyes turned into disappointment.

The group gathered together, exchanging glances, and ultimately their gazes fell on Xiaoan as it was clear that everyone knew Xiaoan was favored by the chief.

Coincidentally, the weapon that Xiaoan excelled at using was also the sling.

Having led the troops for some time, he had become the big brother in the unit.

He was clearly aware of the feelings of the brothers under his command and wanted to offer some comforting words, but he didn't know how to articulate them as he was unsure of Lu G's intentions.

He couldn't just speak recklessly, could he? However, he had to consider the emotions of his brothers to prevent any disturbances.

With no other option, he sighed heavily in thought.

I understand.

I'll find a chance to talk to the chief later.

True to his word, after dinner, Xiaoan found an opportunity and approached Lu Gi.

Chief, I have something I want to discuss.

Something to discuss Luha.

His expression turning thoughtful.

He then promptly said, "Go ahead.

What is it?" After receiving permission, Xiaoan quickly relayed the situation of the stone throwers and his concerns.

Upon hearing this, Lu Gi felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

He waved his hand and said, "The stone throwers and archers each have their advantages.

There is no saying that I favor one over the other.

" As he spoke, Lu Gi carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both units for Xiaoan.

As a commander with high leadership and intelligence, Lu G believed Xiaoan would understand what he had just said regarding the distribution of armor.

The reason for prioritizing the archer squad and putting the stonethrowers last, was simple.

The defensive power of the leather armor, no matter how high, couldn't surpass that of the city wall.

In a city defense battle with a wall providing cover, would you still care about that suit of leather armor? Comparatively, the archer squad, which often needed to go into battle, is in a more dangerous situation and requires the leather armor more than the stonethrowers.

After receiving this answer, Xiaoan felt relieved and relayed Luo Gi's words almost verbatim to the stonethrowers.

Now their anxious hearts could finally be put at ease.

Chapter 89.

The barbarian bear tribe.

The next morning, Lu Gene returned to the tribal camp covered in snow and brought back news that made Lu Gi feel both happy and worried.

The chief is the Barbarian Bear Tribe.

The Barbarian Bear Tribe.

A few months ago, before the storm, the Barbarian Bear Tribe was the strongest tribe in the entire area with a population exceeding 300.

Hearing this number, Lu G's brows furrowed immediately.
