Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic

Chapter 20 Level 4 Barracks

What a joke.

Only by defeating Kakashi can one gain freedom?

Qingwu was cursing in his heart.

Currently, the fighting power he possesses is probably no less than that of Kakashi, perhaps even surpassing that of the Dryad Guardian.

However, the Tier 5 Deadwood Guardian is good at defense but not good at offense.

There's no way to defeat Kakashi head-on.

Seeing Qingwu's face turn pale and then red, Kakashi seemed to feel sorry for him and said, "You don't need to belittle yourself. You've already made great progress."

Qingwu looked at him.

Kakashi continued:

"Individually, your psychic creatures all have obvious flaws and ways to counter them, but... if you can command them more skillfully, they won't be easy for me to deal with."

Qingwu seemed to be deep in thought. Reality and games are completely different, and the "opponents" like ninjas are also very different from the NPCs in games.

He also believes there is still huge potential for development in inter-service coordinated operations.

Moreover, he currently only has three types of troops at his disposal.

"Besides, you didn't even make a move," Kakashi said.

"If you attack me with that unsealed ninjutsu, combined with the summoning creature's ranged and melee attacks, even I would probably have a hard time dealing with it."

"!!" Qingwu had a flash of inspiration and realized that something was missing.

The Barracks, the Wood Elf's only ranged unit, has not yet had its barracks, the Wooden Hut, built.

Once you have the Wood Elves, and combine them with Centaurs and Dwarves, the tactical options will become much richer.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Qingwu thanked him and then stared at Kakashi until he left, so he could study the new building.

"..." Kakashi didn't speak again, but after glancing at the Ancient Tree of Life, which was completely different from before, he disappeared with a "whoosh".

"Hoo..." Qingwu exhaled a breath of stale air.

He's desperately short of money right now.

If you can't carry out battlefield missions, how can you make money?

While he was worrying, he opened the panel to check the building requirements.

[Wooden Hut]: Tier 3 Barracks

[Function]: Produces 5 Wood Elves per week; increases ranged unit attack range by 20%.

[Construction Costs]: Natural Energy*80, Gold*1200, Wood*250, Stone*150

Qingwu pursed his lips and said, "It's alright, not much different from the construction requirements of the previous two barracks."

However, when he saw the construction costs of another new building, he almost cursed on the spot...

[Magic Spring]: Level 4 Barracks

[Function]: Produces 4 Pegasus units per week and increases flying unit speed by 20%.

[Construction Costs]: Natural Energy*300, Gold*5000, Wood*800, Stone*500

"???"

"Take away the young master?"

At first glance, Qingwu thought she was seeing things, but after checking carefully and confirming that it was correct, she felt even more depressed.

The construction requirements for a Tier 4 barracks are simply outrageous.

Leaving aside natural energy, the upgraded Tree of Life provides just enough.

Although the prices of timber and stone ore have increased several times over, it's not too difficult to accumulate them.

However, the range of gold coin requirements is too large.

The initial level 1 and 2 barracks require 500 gold for the Centaur Stable and 800 gold for the Dwarf Village, respectively.

Then the new level 3 barracks [wooden hut] only costs 1200.

Reaching level 4, how did such a leap occur?

Qingwu frowned, deep in thought, as if she had overlooked something...

A moment later, Qingwu slapped his forehead.

He remembered.

In the game, Tier 1, 2, and 3 are considered basic unit types.

Tier 4 and 5 are intermediate-level units.

That is, the Tier 4 flying unit Pegasus and the Tier 5 withered tree guard.

Then there's the final advanced unit, the Tier 6 Unicorn, and the ultimate unit, the Tier 7 Green Dragon.

By analyzing the unit levels in the game, the resource requirements become clear.

The construction costs for Tier 1, 2, and 3 basic barracks are roughly the same.

Reaching Tier 4 and the appearance of flying units represents a major leap for the Bulwark faction.

Moreover, Qingwu had already witnessed the combat power of the Tier 5 Deadwood Guardian.

Compared to the centaurs and dwarves that have appeared so far, the difference is indeed huge.

"All right!"

Having figured out the details, Qingwu felt a little better.

High cost means high combat power, hmm, that makes sense!

But... his desire to make money became even stronger.

What else can we do?

I can only see two new buildings, but I can't unlock either of them.

"How about... we ask the third generation for some 'research funding'?"

Qingwu even had such a thought.

"Holy crap, I'm going crazy!"

He then shook his head self-deprecatingly, thinking how naive he had been.

The moon is high in the sky...

【Ding! 】

A new week has begun, and the weekly barracks output has been refreshed!

Qingwu paused for a moment, then remembered her guess from yesterday.

So it turns out it's not calculated from the day the system was bound, but from the timeline of this world?

"In this way, if we summon six more dwarves, the ore mining speed will be even faster."

"Try having the centaurs gather wood again later. After all, while the Deadwood Guardian is extremely efficient at gathering resources, it also has other uses."

With that thought in mind, Qingwu opened the panel and saw the 8 centaurs and 6 dwarves that had been refreshed, so he immediately maxed them out.

Buildings consume a lot of resources, and the recruitment cost for basic units is relatively low.

It only takes 200 gold coins and some wood to complete.

As for the consumption of natural energy, the ancient tree currently has a very sufficient supply after its upgrade.

"recruit!"

[Consumes 40 Natural Energy, 80 Gold Coins, and 80 Wood]

[8 Centaurs successfully recruited!]

[Consumes 60 Natural Energy, 120 Gold Coins, and 120 Wood]

[Six dwarves successfully recruited!]

Eight centaurs and six dwarves, seemingly carved from a mold, appeared on the open ground.

……

at the same time……

Three kilometers southeast of the territory, several uninvited guests appeared on the rocky mountain.

They were divided into two squads and were silently approaching the territory in standard tactical formations.

"stop!"

The leader was a bald ninja with a hideous scar on his face.

At his command, the two teams, totaling six people, gathered together.

"Hi!" The bald man nodded to the youngest ninja in the group.

The blond-haired boy called "Xi" immediately raised his finger to sense the signal, and after a moment replied, "Down there!"

"Captain, how come there are people here? We went through all that trouble to avoid Konoha's sentries, was it all for nothing?"

One of the female ninjas in the group asked.

The bald captain narrowed his eyes. "Our team disappeared in this area last time while on a mission. We need to investigate this thoroughly. It's worth taking a detour."

"Konoha isn't easy to infiltrate. The only way to get here is through the route we chose," the bald man instructed. "Don't rush, hope, make sure there are a few people down there."

hope maintained his raised finger posture, his expression strange, and said, "Four, but... they don't seem to be ninjas. I couldn't sense any chakra."

After a moment's thought, the bald man turned to the female ninja and said, "Go down and take a look. The rest of you stay put."

The female ninja nodded, and her figure floated lightly like a cat as she descended to a protrusion below the rocky mountain.

She was agile and the most skilled assassin ninja in the squad at concealing her tracks.
