Survival for all: I, the creator of the halo.

At this moment, Wang Xu was leading people to clean up the battlefield. There was no need to recycle the bodies of the night beasts because they would rot in a short time. However, many weapons and equipment lost by soldiers during the battle still needed to be recycled. of.

It took about two or three hours, and the battlefield under the cave was almost cleaned. Ning Ze looked at his pocket watch and found that it had been more than two days since he came out this time. During the entire period, they were in high-intensity fighting. There wasn't even any time to rest.

Therefore, the first priority now is to return to the territory as soon as possible to allow all the soldiers to rest and replenish their physical strength. At the same time, since they have not returned to the territory for two days, it is also time to see how the situation is over there.

After setting up the anchor point, everyone was teleported back to the territory through the anchor point.

Ning Ze had not returned to the territory for two days. Standing in the territory again, Ning Ze felt a little nostalgic. However, the changes in the territory were not great. Except for the slight changes in the buildings under construction, the rest of the things seemed to have stayed in place. move.

"Yes, it has only been two days, what changes can be made?" Ning Ze smiled, and immediately returned to the Lord's Mansion to take a nice hot bath to get rid of the smell of blood that had been stained on his body for the past two days.

Due to the high-intensity fighting, the rest of the soldiers dared to close their eyes for a moment in the cave because they were always worried about danger. However, as soon as they returned to the territory, the sleepiness that had been accumulated for a long time surged up like a tide.

Except for a few soldiers who were temporarily busy, the rest of the soldiers returned to their respective houses and fell asleep.

After Ning Ze took a shower, he inspected the situation in the territory. Currently, everything in the territory is developing well. Even if he is not in the territory, under Xue Siyu's arrangement, the territory can still operate well.

Although there haven't been many changes in the territory, there have been quite a few changes in the outside world.

During this period of time, because the previous players had united, the number of raids by Hu Er and other soldiers was much less, but as long as there was an opportunity, Hu Er would still wait for the opportunity.

According to what he learned from Xue Siyu, Hu Er still brought back more than 300 people and a lot of supplies to the territory in the past two days, and Hu Er's behavior style is gradually changing to adapt to the times.

For example, this time a large number of players in this area have united, basically gathering in several gathering points in a "tribal system". Almost every gathering point has hundreds of players huddled inside, and they are building defenses aggressively. fortifications.

There are still many players who have been in the army, so the fortifications built under the guidance of these professionals basically do not give the Tiger Second Soldier Soul any chance to take action.

Hu Er simply changed his thinking. Since these people always huddled in defensive buildings, he focused his "looting" on those who went out. After all, no matter how strong the fortifications were built, it would not matter to the players. Said, resources still need to be exploited.

All you need to do is arrange for people to stay there, and it will be easy to pack up and take away all the people who are going out.

In addition, the main city is still the focus of Hu Er's attention, because the armored soldier souls continue to send people to the main city to deliver food as if they "do not know whether to live or die". Ningze and the others have no time in the past two days. Ignore these armored soldier souls.

However, nearby players have been suffering from armored soldier souls for a while, so when they see a small amount of armored soldier souls appearing, they pounce on them like hungry wolves seeing meat.

Tiger Er, on the other hand, is usually the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind. After these people have dealt with the souls of the armor soldiers, he will come forward and carry out a wave of plundering against these people. Not only did he harvest dozens of armors, armor, and also arrested a lot of people and supplies.

But I'm afraid it won't be so easy after that. Because of Hu Er's behavior for two days in a row, it's impossible for these players to have no countermeasures. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Hu Er to get any advantage in this matter in the future.

But at this moment, an important piece of news came from the Intelligence Agency.

"Lord, according to the news reported by the third scout team, those people seem to have found the lair of those armored soldier souls." Li Hui ran over and reported the news.

Ning Ze was also a little surprised. After all, only two days had passed, and those people had found the lair of the Armor Soldier Soul. This was quite efficient.

"What's the specific situation?" Ning Ze asked.

Li Hui did not hesitate and said immediately: "The specific situation is not clear yet, because the personnel of the third scout team said that when they approach the suspected armored soldier soul nest, they will have a strong sense of crisis, close to death. I had a hunch, so for the sake of safety, the third scout team just stationed at a distance and did not go in to investigate the situation."

"Besides that, those people have been in there for ten hours and still haven't come out."

"Their decision is right. Even if they are spying on intelligence, they must carry out the task while ensuring their own safety. They must not act recklessly." Ning Ze nodded and did not blame anyone. Instead, he agreed with it.

After all, the selection of scouts is not easy. If you want to become a qualified scout, you must first have talents related to scouts, such as tracking-related talents.

Even though the territory now has nearly 2,000 people, there are only less than 50 relevant talents who can be screened out. Losing any one of them will be a huge loss.

What's more, the mission he assigned to the Intelligence Agency was to track those players, and now such a discovery can be said to be an extra surprise.

"By the way, let the third scout team set up an anchor point nearby to ensure that it can be teleported all the way from the territory." Ning Ze said.

"Lord, please rest assured that everything related to the anchor point has been arranged. Whenever you want to go there, you can arrive there unimpeded." Li Hui said confidently.

Afterwards, Ning Ze asked Li Hui to retreat on his own. Because the soldiers had only experienced two days of high-intensity fighting, they were in urgent need of a rest. Therefore, it was not appropriate to carry out other tasks now. They could only wait until tomorrow to see the situation. .

Ning Ze's own energy and physical strength are still sufficient. Although he has continued to fight for two days, he can still endure it now thanks to his aura and the recovery of some skills.

Next time, he took the time to visit Wang Zhi's main city to see how the main city was developing.

In the past few days, the newly established main city has been fully managed by Wang Zhi. Although Wang Zhi has given feedback, it is not as detailed as seeing it with his own eyes. After arriving at the main city through the anchor point, Wang Zhi had received the news in advance and was waiting near the anchor point. After seeing Ning Ze, he took the initiative to say hello, although he began to talk about the main city during this period. The change.

Although he has said these before, it is necessary to say them again now. By visiting the main city, Ning Ze gradually grasped the general situation of the main city.

The upper limit of the number of people that can settle in the main city is 1,000, including the residents. Therefore, the number of lords and territories that can be settled in a main city is not that many, probably only a few dozen.

But one thousand people is only the stipulated number. In fact, the main city can accommodate more people, but the extra people do not enjoy the buff effect of the main city.

This main city is one of the first to be fully occupied. The number of people who settled in the city on the first day was close to a thousand, but after that, people still choose to come to this main city every day.

As mentioned before, once the main city is established, it will be marked on the map, which means that all players know the approximate location of these main cities.

Therefore, as long as players are not far away, even if the main city is full, they will still choose to walk to the main city to seek shelter.

Wang Zhi naturally refused to accept this group of people. After all, he knew the plan behind the lord, and these individual people who came to seek refuge in the main city naturally became a population in his eyes.

"Lord, there are currently a total of 4,763 people stationed in the main city. Excluding the first one thousand permanent residents, the rest are scattered people in the main city. Many of these people are They voluntarily gave up their territories and came to seek asylum in the main city, and many more of them were originally refugees who had lost their territories or people who had separated from other territories. There should be a large number of these people who can be recruited."

Wang Zhi explained the general situation, and Ning Ze nodded while listening.

Although he had heard this information from Wang Zhi before, he still liked to hear it. After all, if he could convert the entire main city's people into his subjects, it would not only improve the strength of his territory. It's not huge.

After thinking for a moment, Ning Ze said: "I heard you said that you recently organized a guard team in the main city?"

Wang Zhi quickly responded: "Yes, the Acropolis Team is just the superficial name I declared to the outside world. In fact, the purpose of the Acropolis Team is to gather some individuals who are extremely eager to join other organizations. After all, this group People will be the easiest to become lords and lead people when the time comes."

"Currently, the number of Acropolis troops has reached one hundred and fifty."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Ze shook his head and said, "It's a little short."

Wang Zhi said with a wry smile: "After all, there is not much food stored in the main city. It is already very difficult to feed these one hundred and fifty people."

The implication is that Wang Zhi was crying for food.

The current development model of the main city is not complicated. After all, it was already agreed when recruiting city residents that there would be no requirements.

Like many other main cities, if you want to join the main city, you must first pay various taxes. For example, if city residents go out to collect materials, they need to hand over 10% or 20% of the amount. Such taxes are considered by many players I despise it, but I have to accept it.

Because the main city symbolizes higher security, if you want to "save your life", you have to pay something.

On the other hand, the main city of Ningze does not have so many requirements. Not only does it not have any messy taxes, but it even allocates land for free. For this reason, the main city was almost full on the first day it was established.

But Ning Ze did not regret this approach. Although a thousand people, even if the tax rate is 10%, it is a huge income every day, but currently he does not lack any supplies, but is extremely short of population.

However, not collecting anything does not mean that the main city is used for charity. For example, the 150 city guards recruited by Wang Zhi this time are currently mainly used to protect the city residents who go out to collect supplies.

Of course, it is not free protection, but if the citizens of the main city want to seek protection from the Acropolis when they go out, they need to pay a certain amount of compensation according to the number of Acropolis personnel.

What Wang Zhi needs to give to the Acropolis team is also very simple, nothing more than food, weapons and equipment, but these three points are enough for those homeless individuals to grab their heads and join the Acropolis team.

However, Wang Zhi did not have much food in his hands, and the weapons and equipment allocated by the lord were not enough to be used casually, so this restricted the development of the city guard team.

According to his calculations, if the lord did not give him some help, it would take at least two months for the Acropolis team to grow to a size of 500 people.

After hearing this situation, Ning Ze also nodded. Wang Zhi's strategy was right and in line with his ideas.

Dang Ji said: "Okay, the city guard team will temporarily expand to a thousand people. In terms of weapons and equipment, the Institute of Engineering will gradually produce them in the past few days. In terms of food, the territory has been harvested in the past two days, and a thousand people will be supplied." There should be nothing wrong with people.”

"And as far as the income of the Acropolis is concerned, the income of the Acropolis can be guaranteed in terms of food. Maybe you can also increase the remuneration of the Acropolis so that the main city can be responsible for its own profits and losses."

When Wang Zhi heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and then became ecstatic. He had no idea that the lord would directly arrange a thousand city guards for him.

The main city, which had less than 5,000 people in total, had a thousand guardsmen. This would probably shock everyone.

However, considering that two to three hundred people have joined the main city every day recently, I am afraid that the number of people in the main city will exceed 10,000 before long, so a thousand city guards does not seem so exaggerated.

The Lord's thinking is indeed far-reaching!

As everyone knows, Ning Ze didn't think too much at all. It's just that during this period of time, many craftsmen have been screened out in the entire territory. When the time comes, they can all join the Institute of Engineering. Of course, the number of work soul items cannot support such a number of craftsmen. It is used by many craftsmen, so there must be a large number of craftsmen who can only do ordinary craftsmanship. (End of chapter)
