This Weird Three Kingdoms game is too cruel.

Chapter 229 begins the official showdown! 5 new recruits leveling up like crazy!

Chapter 229 begins the official showdown!Five thousand recruits are leveling up like crazy!

Huangmei Township.

The northernmost blessing point in Woniu Mountain.

At this moment, it has been built into an undead style frontline fortress.

The outermost perimeter is a wall that is more than three feet high. Within the wall are arrow towers, reconnaissance towers, barrier towers, spell towers, etc. In addition, a large number of bone tombs have been built for the repair and recovery of the bone army.

The skeleton altar in the center is burning with ghost fire, which can increase the buff state for the dead bone army, thus improving the combat effectiveness.

Other than that.

There are many other Star buildings.

This Huangmei Township is just a township-level blessing point.

Because of this, there is an upper limit to the size and number of buildings that can be built.

The Corpse Witch Leader's construction here is already at the top level and cannot be any higher!

Want to build a stronger frontline fortress.

Either the overall level of the territory will be improved to a higher level.

Or occupy a city-level blessing stronghold like Shansang City.

In front of this frontline fortress of the Corpse Witch Territory, a surge of shadow energy suddenly appeared.

Gan Ning appeared here, looking quite embarrassed at the moment. His armor was badly damaged and his bones were broken in dozens of places.

"It's General Gan!"

"Open the door!"

"General, please enter quickly!"

"..."

After several low-level dead bones generals recognized Gan Ning, they immediately opened the barrier and city gate.

Gan Ning entered the camp.

First meet with the territorial frontline commander Hui Xi.

Hui Xi was sitting on the skeleton altar, surrounded by dozens of well-equipped corpse demon guards, and densely packed dead bone soldiers, including the leader of the dead bone army, Huang Zu, and other high-ranking dead bone generals.

"Do you still have the face to come back here?!"

Hui Xi angrily scolded: "In order to improve your cultivation, my lord has consumed a lot of precious energy in the territory, but you have failed again and again. You are simply a useless waste!"

Gan Ning had a bad temper.

What's more, my friend Su Fei died in the battle.

It made him feel angry now.

He responded directly: "You know nothing about the strength of the human leader, otherwise you wouldn't have said such stupid things. If you had been arranged by the leader to participate in these two operations, you would have been a dead body in the grave by now." .”

"Bold!"

Hui Xiu was completely angry.

Huang Zu took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Lord Hui Xu is the frontline commander appointed by the lord. If Gan Ning dares to disrespect Lord Hui Xu, he is disrespectful to the lord. Someone come and capture this guy for me!"

Deng Long, Chen Sheng, and Chen stepped forward.

The three of them were Huang Zu's trusted generals.

"Who dares to touch me!" Gan Ning roared, which frightened several dead generals. With his powerful strength, the three of them might not be opponents even if they include Huang Zu.

This Gan Ning has a violent and ferocious temperament, and he really dares to do something, so he doesn't dare to approach him for a while!
"enough!"

Hui Xiu originally just wanted to show off his power and take advantage of this opportunity to kill this vicious dog to further establish his majesty in the Bone Legion.

Suppose Gan Ning surrendered and bowed his head to apologize.

Hui Xi wouldn't really do anything to Gan Ning.

Who would have thought that after killing many of his subordinates and ten of the lord's secret guards, he would still be so arrogant and cruel. If he didn't teach him a lesson today, how would he lead this frontline army in future battles?
Not to mention.

Hui Xiu is not a dependent family.

They are the serious people of the stars.

Although his status is not as high as that of the Star Lords, his birth is similar. Even a lord must abide by the employment contract and respect him. How can he tolerate a plane native running wild in front of him?

A breath is released.

It enveloped all the soldiers present.

Wisps of black energy immediately emerged from these soldiers, and then they all gathered on Hui Xuan's body, causing his strength to increase several times!
This is the white air technique from the stars: the power of morale!
Although it is only a white quality Qi movement skill and does not have the effect of strengthening the overall combat capability of the army, this Qi movement skill is outstanding among the white quality Qi movement skills. Its effect is to extract part of the army's strength to strengthen his strength as the leader.

Once this luck skill is used.

Troops will have their attributes slightly weakened.

And I will be greatly improved in the process.

Hui Xiu was only a level 27 commander, and his own strength was definitely not as good as Gan Ning's. At this moment, he directly reached the threshold of overlord, summoned a big hand of black mist, and pinned Gan Ning to the ground on the spot.

Change to normal state.

Gan Ning was not afraid of such an attack at all.

You can cast Shadow Leap to escape at any time.

But at this moment, Gan Ning had traveled a long distance, and his magic power had long been exhausted. In addition, he was also in a weak state, and was directly suppressed by this power without any resistance.

"Remember!" Hui Xiu said condescendingly: "You are just a slave taken in by the lord. Your survival today is all due to the gift of the lord. As a slave, you will never have the right to yell at your retainers!"

The soul fire in Gan Ning's eyes burned crazily: "If you have the guts, kill me, otherwise I will remember this enemy!"

I should have known that Gan Ning was the biggest thorn in the side of the Dead Bone Legion.

But I didn't expect it to be so painful.

"You think I dare not?"

Gan Ning only felt that the power acting on his body increased sharply, but he could do nothing at the moment. On the one hand, he was exhausted and unable to break free, and on the other hand, there was really no way to attack the corpse demon general.

In the eyes of these corpse monsters, he is indeed just a low-level servant, or even just a vicious dog.

If you behave well, you can be rewarded with several meat bones.

Those who dare to act violently will be punished in a hundred ways.

Gan Ning had long been dissatisfied.

The resentment reached its peak.

"stop!"

An icy storm enveloped the territory.

When the storm dissipated, a corpse demon holding a long staff, wearing a crown, and a gorgeous cloak appeared on the scene. He was accompanied by four powerful subordinates, plus more than ten acolytes with commander-level strength. Commander of the Secret Guard.

"Meet the lord!"

Hui Xi, Huang Zu and others quickly saluted.

They obviously didn't expect the Lord to come in person.

The lord is generally the biggest trump card in the territory. Although he has extremely powerful strength, it is also related to the survival of the entire territory, so he will not end up easily and will not appear in the enemy area.

Most lord wars.

The process patterns and play styles are similar.

The lords of both sides must have been observing behind the scenes at the beginning, and repeatedly conducted confrontations and tests in order to grasp the other party's intelligence and details to the maximum extent. Only in this way can they personally take action.

So when evil spirits appear.

Hui Xi and Huang Zu were shocked.

"The main responsibility for the failure of these two operations does not lie with General Gan Ning. Huixian, you don't need to be too harsh on General Gan."

"Yes!"

The lord said so.

Hui Xiu naturally did not dare to take action against Gan Ning.

Xie Ming's eyes fell on Gan Ning and continued: "Although the fault of the failure of the operation is not yours, you seem to be quite dissatisfied with this lord and lack the necessary reverence. It is appropriate for General Huixian to impose a slight punishment. Are you convinced?"

between speeches.

Skeleton Gan Ning's soul fire trembled.

He could feel an almost instinctive sense of surrender welling up deep in his soul.

This is because Gan Ning once swore allegiance to Xie Ming, so the imprint of the stars is affecting him. It is also because Gan Ning, the skeleton, is originally a lower-level dead bone family member created by Xie Ming, so he will instinctively feel for the higher-level creator. Surrender.

Gan Ning knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in obedience: "The general will finally be convicted!"

Xie Ming said lightly: "You must understand that this lord can give you new life, even enhance your abilities and cultivation, and he can also withdraw all gifts at any time!"

Gan Ning could only lower his head when facing the lord: "Yes!"

Xie Ming nodded with satisfaction: "This matter ends here. You will continue to fight for the territory. After all, this war has just begun!"

When the feeling of oppression and surrender from the soul gradually disappears.

Gan Ning also felt his mind gradually clearing up.

I felt extremely humiliated for a moment.

and powerlessness.

Xie Ming did not punish Gan Ning.

Because it doesn't make much sense.

Although Gan Ning always has some residual humanity that cannot be completely assimilated, so he seems a bit prickly, he is indeed a useful blade and a ferocious hound.

now.

The war of lords will enter a critical moment.

He can still be of huge use going forward.

These days of confrontation and two tests all ended in failure, which made the Ergui Corpse Demon Lord realize a reality.

That is.

It is not advisable to seek a surprise attack and a quick victory!

This human territory is far from being as simple as imagined, and there are at least two major surprises.

First, the talent is beyond imagination.

Jia Xu, Zhou Cang, Wenpin, Zhang Zhongjing.

It would be great if an ordinary lord could have a talent of this level.

This human territory not only has many people at the same time, but each of them has special skills and is not easy to deal with.

The second, naturally, is the Scourge Legion.

The battle that took place today allowed the Corpse Witch Leader to officially confirm an incredible fact!

That means this lord does have the ability to resurrect his dependents in batches!

It's very tricky.

Xie Ming did not feel afraid.

On the contrary, he felt excited.

There are indeed many ways for the Stars camp to resurrect the dead.

But I have never heard of any buildings or items that can quickly resurrect dead troops in large quantities.

Resurrection items are all rare and rare. Even if they can be used to resurrect your subordinates, you have to pay a very high price, or the cost is extremely expensive.

For example, the Scroll of Creation.

This is already relatively speaking the most famous and common consumable prop.

Although this item is not cheap, it is considered very cost-effective among resurrection props.

And even for an extremely rare consumable item like the Scroll of Creation, its resurrection ability is not unlimited and unconditional. Whether it can be resurrected depends on whether the soul is intact.

If no special protective measures are taken, the souls of most living creatures will be damaged and missing at the moment of death. Even if the Scroll of Creation is obtained, it will be difficult to complete resurrection.

Resurrecting one or two particularly important subordinates is okay.

No matter how rich the lord is, it is impossible for him to use similar methods on every citizen of his territory!
Xie Ming is highly suspicious.

A human lord has taken possession of a powerful relic.

This relic can store the souls of some of the people of the clan, thus giving these people an almost perfect ability to resurrect.

Relics can be inherited!
As long as we win this war of lords.

Xie Ming can obtain this powerful relic, and this is why Xie Ming feels excited.

If he can obtain such a relic, his legion will become more powerful, even enough to sweep the upper races.

As for whether to win?

Xie Ming still has confidence.

The Human Race has many top talents, but the Corpse Witch Leader also has Gan Ning and Huang Zu, as well as Hui Xi and other generals who spent a lot of money to hire from the Land of Stars.

Although the human territory has the ability to resurrect troops, Xie Ming does not think that such resurrection is costless. How many resources can a mere human territory consume?
Xie Ming has a good background and has been running the territory for many years. He also has the Bone Army he built as cannon fodder. He believes that even if it is a war of attrition, there is no reason for him to be at a disadvantage!

Not to mention.

According to his observation.

There are only about [-] immortal troops.

This force is neither strong nor incapable of dealing with it.

Xie Ming decided to change his thinking. Instead of pursuing quick wins with strange moves, he started to attack steadily and encroach on this human territory bit by bit!

…………

The main city of Luoshui.

Within the core hall.

Hang Yu noticed that the Scourge Army had finished cleaning the battlefield.

This battle was fruitful. Not only did more than 100 second-level players join the ranks as scheduled, but twelve players also broke through to third-level players.

Essence is important income.

But not all income.

In today's battle, these players killed more than [-] dead skeletons in total, which not only greatly weakened the strength of the Corpse Witch leader, but also obtained an astonishing amount of loot.

The amount of magic crystals dropped alone is expected to exceed [-].

This is definitely a surprising amount of money!

Greatly alleviated the urgent needs of the territory!
Enough to speed up territory construction!
Of course, after this magic crystal is picked up by players, it may not be returned immediately by handing it over. Players will definitely keep a batch in their hands and use it as currency to make up for the lack of liquidity in contribution points.

This problem is easy to solve.

There are already many well-built shops or various real estate projects in the main city, which will then enter the auction stage. In order to compete for these high-quality assets, players can only hand over their magic crystals in exchange for more contribution points.

Except for essence and magic crystal.

The equipment dropped by the Bone Army is very impressive.

Under the ten times explosion rate of Scourge Army players, most of the Bone Army will drop at least two pieces of equipment, and the total number of equipment dropped by more than 3000 Bone Army players reaches about [-].

It's fine if it's just a lot.

Among these [-] pieces of equipment, about [-] are second-level equipment, and the quality is generally high-grade white.

Even if this batch of equipment is not used in the territory, it can be packaged and sold on the market, which is enough to exchange for a huge sum of more than 20 magic crystals, or tens of thousands of the essence of third-level materials needed to build the territory.

War is indeed one of the fastest ways to make money!

If the territory can always be in a state of war.

Why worry about not having magic crystals and resources?
The speed of development is amazing! !

Of course, the main reason why Hang Yu feels this way is that the Scourge Army has ten times the drops and is immortal. It can not only obtain huge excess profits, but also reduce its own losses to approximately zero.Then again.

This time the opponent is not weak.

The core main army of the Corpse Witch Leader has not yet been dispatched.

Hang Yu can't take it lightly because of this.

The secret of the Scourge Legion's resurrection cannot be hidden, and the other lord will definitely take corresponding measures.

but.

corresponding.

The protection period of the Corpse Witch Territory is almost over.

Hang Yu will end the situation where he can only respond passively.

He will be able to take more proactive and reverse invasion actions next.

A real contest.

real war.

It's just getting started!
The previous confrontations could only be regarded as warm-ups and tests!

Although the current number of natural disaster armies in the territory is growing at a rate of more than 100 per day, these newly added natural disaster armies are still too weak and cannot be used in a short period of time.

Hang Yu then recruited 230 more dependents.

These 230 soldiers will be trained into a new batch of Canglong Guards. Together with the existing 270 Canglong Guards, they will form a force of 500 people.

Not many people.

But very reliable.

Hang Yu will give these 500 soldiers the best training resources.

The Azure Dragon Guard will absorb most of the excess energy produced by the Scourge.

In addition, facilities such as top equipment, high-quality skills, attribute medicines, and spirit-gathering training towers will be fully provided.

This is enough to ensure that the overall strength of the Blue Dragon Guard is always far ahead of the Scourge Army, thus becoming the anchor of stability in the territory.

Hang Yu completed the recruitment of 230 Canglong Guard recruits.

When starting to customize the improvement plan for this group of Canglong Guards.

"Lord!" Zhang Zhongjing came to Hang Yu, "There is news from Bai Mu, the chief alchemist of the main city, that the new batch of elixir refining tasks has been completed."

Hang Yu: "Huh? This is a little faster than expected!"

There are more than 2000 pills in this batch.

Among them, there are more than a thousand dragon blood pills.

Zhang Zhongjing stroked his long beard and said: "After the latest batch of alchemists in the territory joined the work, the alchemy capacity has been greatly improved, but the supply and production of materials have not kept up."

After the territory annexes the area, the construction quantity of the three major production buildings will be +6. When the three major buildings are upgraded to the third level, 30 alchemists, 30 weapon refiners, and 30 cooks can be added to the territory respectively.

Based on the current size of the territory.

There is no need for so many people yet.

Because of this, in the first round, it is enough to recruit 15 players each.

Xiaoba has been looking for candidates in the recruitment market during this period, and the current batch of recruitment plans has almost been completed.

Although not completely full.

But it is enough to greatly increase the territory's production capacity.

However, there will not be a surplus.

Not to mention that Hang Yu is working hard to build the territory to expand the market and increase the scale of the territory's foreign trade. Just with the tens of thousands of new natural disaster troops and the addition of hundreds of thousands of Wancheng's population, there will be extremely huge demand in the future.

These productive forces can be fully absorbed by domestic demand.

The main problem now is that the materials are not up to par.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to make a meal without rice. Even if there is enough foreign trade market and domestic demand, even if there is enough productivity, it will not work if there are not enough stable raw materials.

however.

You can't get fat in one bite.

You can only take it slowly step by step.

Territory construction and development is a long-term process.

This batch of elixirs came at just the right time.

Hang Yu immediately contacted Lord 3244.

Hang Yu: "Is the boss here? The pill you want has been prepared!"

Just a few seconds.

The other party replied.

Lord 3244: "Are you ready so soon? The production capacity of your territory is quite strong!"

Hang Yu: "Isn't this also working overtime to complete the transaction as soon as possible? When can the transaction be completed?"

Lord 3244: "You can trade directly now, the Scroll of Creation is already in my hand."

Hang Yu even doubted whether the friend from the upper-class clan that this guy mentioned existed, but that was not important. The key was to complete the deal.

The two lords immediately made a deal.

Hang Yu paid 3244 pills for 500, including 5.5 dragon-marked essence and blood pills. The market value of this pill ranges from 6.5 to [-] magic crystals depending on the fluctuation.

Lord 3244 is also satisfied with this.

The agreement was fulfilled immediately.

Get the Scroll of Creation.

Hang Yu felt refreshed. Although such a conditional resurrection item worth 6 magic crystals was not cheap, it was still at a reasonable price and not too big a figure for the current territory.

After Jia Xu repaired his body.

Not only will top talent be acquired.

It can also gain the combat power of a first-class overlord.

Hang Yu can leave the task of dealing with the Ergui Corpse Demon to him.

Jia Xu's ability and strength are strong enough, and he is proficient in necromancy, so it is perfect for him to fight against the Corpse Witch Lord.

With a top talent like Jia Xu, plus the two generals Zhou Cang and Wenpin, they are enough to form a huge deterrent.

Hang Yu even only needs to sit in the core hall of the main city and watch their performance from behind the scenes. Unless the situation develops to a critical moment, there is no need to leave in person.

This group of subordinates alone is enough to give your opponent a good drink!
Hang Yu is quite looking forward to this.

Xiaoba suddenly reminded: "Master, the fifth batch of players in this round has arrived. This time, 1150 players have been granted login qualifications. Currently, 1150 people have logged in. The total number of new players logged in this round has reached 5750! "

Hang Yu glanced at the time.

It is now 8pm Yanjing time.

This time every day is when new beta players are eligible to log in.

The total number of new players in the past few days is much more than all previous players combined, but the presence and topicality of these new recruits are not high at present.

Mainly because the level is too low and the strength is too weak.

They can only move around the main city of Luoshui or the White Tiger City.

Although among the players who logged in on the first or second day, there were outstanding characters who quickly rushed to level 5, obtained the qualifications to enter Woniu Mountain, and even participated in today's battle of the Scourge Legion.

But this is a minority after all.

It takes time for other Scourge recruits to grow up.

Even the very few recruits who participated in the Battle of Woniushan were just cannon fodder and transparent people on the battlefield based on their current strength. They basically just joined in to make up the numbers, and naturally they would not leave any noteworthy topics.

Of course.

Although the new recruits of the Scourge are still very young.

Hang Yu also attaches great importance to them.

Every leek has unlimited potential, and among these players there are also talents with outstanding abilities, extraordinary resourcefulness, huge potential, and charismatic leaders who will shine in the Scourge Army's conquests in the future.

……

At this moment.

The barracks of the main city of Luoshui.

Inside a certain second-level barracks.

"F*ck! It's in! It's finally in!" A player with the ID name "Scallion Braised Pork Ribs" jumped up and down with excitement on his face, "This touch, this smell, this taste, it's so awesome!"

The grilled pork ribs with green onions were full of excitement.

At least nine out of ten new players had this reaction.

Although they already knew how awesome the game was before they entered the game, no matter how much others boasted about it, it would be better to come in and experience it for a few seconds themselves.

After some tossing.

Braised pork ribs with green onions walked out of the barracks.

When Luoshui City appeared in front of us.

The braised pork ribs with green onions made me cry. Although I had seen photos of Luoshui City countless times, seeing this city in person still gave me an unprecedented shock, as if I had entered a fairy tale world that I had been fascinated by for a long time.

"Kneel down!"

"The Three Kingdoms are awesome!"

"Congratulations everyone for joining the game!"

"My great journey has begun! I will definitely have a place in the Scourge Army!"

"..."

At this moment, many recruits wearing initial equipment walked out of the barracks. These were pedestrians who had just joined the game. At this moment, everyone was filled with excitement and longing for the future.

"Brother Onion!"

"Brother Cong, where are you?"

Braised pork ribs with green onions suddenly heard a voice.

A player dressed as a ranger with the ID name "I don't eat beef" is looking around.

"At this!"

Braised pork ribs with green onions quickly waved their hands.

I don’t eat beef and trotted over quickly.

He looked up and down the braised pork ribs with green onions: "How to play a warlock? A real man should use a knife!"

The onion-roasted pork ribs said: "What's wrong with the warlock? This game doesn't stipulate that warlocks can't learn martial arts, so why can't I be a fellow practitioner of magic martial arts!"

I don't eat beef: "Brother Cong, just be happy. I've already prepared a strategy. First go to the door to hunt snake-tailed pheasants, and then go to Hexi Village to hunt skeleton bulls."

Braised Pork Ribs with Green Onions: “Don’t rush yet!”

I don't eat beef and looked puzzled: "There are new recruits everywhere now, and the wild monsters near the main city are very nervous. It's best to hurry up!"

at this time.

The surrounding recruits cheered.

"Wow! Look, everyone! There are so many big guys!"

"They are from the Shenyu Palace Corps!"

"Is that Mr. Little Bell? The idol of our warlocks!"

"I'm so lucky. When I first entered the game, I met the boss Little Bell!"

"I heard that they had just returned from the battle in Woniu Mountain, and the battle was live broadcast on the forum. I didn't expect to see real people here. I was really excited!"

"Without the big guys on the front lines to resist the aliens, how can we safely level up in the rear!"

"Salute to the boss!"

"Salute to the boss!"

"..."

A Scourge Army team with luxurious equipment and powerful aura appeared on the scene. The leader was wearing a gorgeous mage robe, holding a nine-curved magic staff, and his whole body was glowing with high-quality and high-level equipment.

It's none other than the famous boss Xiao Lingdang!
Her reputation is not as good as that of Ye Limeng and Brother Heitongrui.

But there is no doubt that he is the first-tier player in the current game.

In the Battle of Woniushan that just happened today, Xiaolingdang's performance was even more impressive, and it is now being discussed at a high level on the forum!
And she was accompanied by level three Hua Mulan, Qing Chen, and many level 20 boss players.

Each and every one of them is a top powerhouse!
This aura!
This deck!
Make the recruits envious!

At this time, a voice shouted: "Lingling! Your cousin is here!"

Xiao Lingdang came to the roasted pork ribs with green onions and said, "Cousin, I have prepared some equipment for you, which is enough for you to upgrade in the early stages. Although you can find someone to help you upgrade, I suggest you work hard on your own."

"no problem!"

"A real man must fight on his own!"

Little Bell took out a pile of equipment.

They are all first-level white or even green equipment.

Several pieces of white equipment have even been enhanced to levels 9 and 10.

The braised pork ribs with green onion is none other than Zhao Cong, the cousin of Xiaoling Dang Li Yuling. She also gives her cousin some help in the game according to her father's arrangement, but she will not recruit her cousin into her own regiment.

Finished sending the equipment.

The little bell left.

They had just finished a big battle.

Feeling a little tired now, they each went back to their barracks to rest.

"Brother Cong!" I said with excitement as I don't eat beef: "Your cousin is Xiaolingdang, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Braised Pork Ribs with Green Onions: “I thought you already knew that!”

I don’t eat beef: “You must protect me from now on!”

Braised Pork Ribs with Green Onion: "Don't worry! It's fine!"

"Brother Cong! Please cover me!"

"Brother Cong, can you team up with me?"

"I want to hang out with Brother Cong, please take me with you!"

"..."

for a while.

Countless newcomers have asked for the thighs of the pork ribs roasted with green onion.

Braised Pork Ribs with Green Onions is also very satisfying. What he wants is this kind of effect. First, he will use Xiao Lingdang’s fame to attract a group of younger brothers. With his own financial resources and connections, it will be difficult for him to develop in the future.

"Brothers, let us work together to improve our level first, and then fight for the territory!"

The Braised Pork Ribs with Scallions is so heroic: "We will definitely have a place in the Scourge Army in the future!"

After some mobilization.

Braised pork ribs with green onions started the journey with my novice brother.

At this moment, more than 5000 natural disaster army recruits were quickly distributed across Luoshui and Baihu Mountain.

They are growing rapidly with the help of veterans or the guidance of strategies, and are leveling up day and night. It will not be long before they join the major corps of the Scourge Army, or a brand new corps of the Scourge Army will be born, constantly supplying fresh blood to the Scourge Army.

(PS: This chapter was completed earlier. I have enough time tonight. I originally planned to update it. Unexpectedly, an urgent matter had to be dealt with, so I had to write part of it in the evening. I will update it at noon tomorrow, so I still have to work hard to save the manuscript.)
