After he was done ransacking the warehouse of the Yellow Turban soldiers, Chu Tian left the Yellow Turban’s stronghold immediately.

When the chief of the Yellow Turban soldiers returned with his troop of nearly a hundred soldiers, all that was left in the warehouse were copper coins and bronze-level weapons that could not be taken due to their heavy weight. 

The furious growl of the Yellow Turban chief sounded from their stronghold.

Wealth was here! Chu Tian carried the heavy gold and silver, two skill books, and three architectural drawings in his arms. In the meantime, he was holding two pieces of leather armor, a longsword, and a long spear.

If it wasn’t for the weight of the equipment, Chu Tian wished he could shift all the weapons and protective gear from the Yellow Turban stronghold back to Xia Village and either use them to equip his soldiers or sell them for money.

In a sense, those who murdered and committed arson were the ones who would really get rich. Only by amassing the initial capital through wars would the territory develop more quickly during the early stages.

Hua Mulan, Xia Tianliang, and the heroes of Xiaozhu Village were also carrying great loads of rewards. 

Four horse-riding local soldiers were awaiting them at the foot of the mountain. The group of people then returned to Langya City.

“How do you plan to divide the spoils? This time, it was mainly the heroes of your Xia Village who killed the renegade general.”

“The spoils that you fleeced will be yours, and those that I fleeced will be mine.”

Chu Tian wasted no time in meticulously dividing the extra spoils with the chief of Xiaozhu Village, Xia Tianliang.

Without Xia Tianliang’s silver hero and the two strong local soldiers, the four of them from Xia Village might not be able to complete the mission. It was also a tactic to win people’s hearts.

Other feudal lords would not commit themselves fully to you in your adventures if there weren’t any benefits to obtain.

Diplomacy was just as important as the other contents of Feudal Lords, such as agriculture, commerce, and warfare. The most symbolic of all was undoubtedly the North-South and East-West Alliance formed during the Chinese warring era.

The real deal from this plunder of the Yellow Turban stronghold was the items which Chu Tian ransacked from the renegade general.

Just as expected, when Xia Tianliang saw that Chu Tian wasn’t being calculative in gains and losses, some subtle changes occurred within her. Perhaps Xia Village was worth a long-term alliance.

Chu Tian did not notice the psychological changes in his ally. Instead, he went to check the three construction drawings dropped by the renegade general of Langya City.

After all, this general was the subordinate of Zang Ba, the military officer who served under the command of Tao Qian, the duke of the Three Nations. The construction drawings he owned should not be those widespread drawings of Yellow Turban camps, should they?

[Name]: Miniature Wooden Arrow Tower (Level 2 city defense work)

[Maximum Durability]: 100

[Capacity (Number of guards that can be accommodated)]: 3

[Effects]: Expands visual field of guards, defense power +3.

[Required Materials]: 10 units of silver, 100 units of timber.

[Comments]: Nightmare of low-grade armies.

The first drawing was the arrow tower which Chu Tian came across at the Yellow Turban stronghold.

Arrow towers belonged to the category of city defense works. As long as there were sufficient drawings and resources, Chu Tian could build as many arrow towers as he wanted in his own territory. He could even surround Xia Village with those towers.

But Xia Village wasn’t that extravagant, and there weren’t that many archers.

“We’ll build two wooden arrow towers at the entrance of the village. At the end of June when harvest begins, the Yellow Turban soldiers will attack the village of each feudal lord, and by then, the arrow towers can be used to fend off the Yellow Turban soldiers.”

Wooden arrow towers were considered one of a powerful city’s defense works during the early stages. They could enhance visual field and increase the defense power by 3 points, which was timely support to feeble archers. They could even serve as a shield.

This construction drawing was practical to be utilized during the early stages.

And then Chu Tian looked over at the two remaining drawings.

[Name]: Level 2 Drill Ground

[Effects]: Training outcomes of armies +2%.

[Required Materials]: 20 units of silver, 50 units of timber, 150 units of building stones.

[Comments]: No slacking even today! A thousand meters more!

This Level 2 drill ground could enhance the training outcomes of armies, which made it a very useful special construction as well.

Commanders could enhance the rankings and spirits of troops by training their armies. With a Level 2 drill ground, it was equivalent to a +2% increase in the growth rate of armies. Do not underestimate this 2%. Small increments eventually add up to abundance.

“He deserved the title of a renegade general. The construction drawings he carried along are all military ones…”

Chu Tian caught sight of the third drawing, which was also a military construction drawing.

[Name]: Level 2 Protective Gear Workshop

[Effects]: Capable of forging bronze-level and silver-level protective gears, and the cost of manufacture -2%.

[Required Materials]: 40 units of silver, 100 units of timber, 50 units of iron, 50 units of building stones.

[Comments]: The manufactured protective gears are tough and durable.

“This is also a precious thing.”

Chu Tian read the introductions of the drawings, a miniature wooden arrow tower, a Level 2 drill ground, and a Level 2 protective gear workshop. Combined with the Level 2 infantry camp drawing and the Level 1 cavalry camp drawing that he bought in Langya City, Xia Village was about to possess a near-complete war industry… 

Was he really going to take Xia Village down the developmental path of the Spartan civilization to exhaust all resources and indulge in wars and military power?

No way. Chu Tian gave up the precarious thought.

The Spartan civilization that was fond of warfare and aggression would easily suffer a downfall due to a reduction in population.

Chu Tian retrieved the two skill books. One of them was an attack-type skill book——flame gun techniques, a mid-grade skill. It was divided into 10 levels.

[Name]: Flame Gun Techniques (1/10)

[Power]: 5

[Supplementary Effects]: Low chances of scorching the opponent, mildly injures the enemy.

[Comments]: Let the flames destroy all.

There was another mid-grade mental cultivation technique, ‘The Iron Wall Mental Cultivation’. It was also divided into 10 levels, which could enhance life-saving ability.

Luck was on his side. Chu Tian planned to use the two mid-grade skill books for himself, one for attack, the other for defense.

Xia Tianliang of Xiaozhu Village was also satisfied with her gains.

Chu Tian took an inventory of the rest of the items that he and Hua Mulan managed to ransack.

“21 units of gold, 314 units of silver. There were too many copper coins, so we just gave them up. Moreover, there are 4 silver-level weapons and 3 protective gears.”

Upon returning to Langya City, Chu Tian searched for the government’s headquarters like a flame in the wind.

The gains mentioned above were only the unexpected ones from the Yellow Turban stronghold. He still had a reward to claim for completing the rewarded Level C mission—— 20 units of gold and a mid-grade skill book.

“It was you who killed the renegade general?”

When Chu Tian went inside alone to claim his reward, the guardian of Langya City, the special hero of the Three Nations, Zang Ba, stared at the feeble, scrawny player in disbelief.

Surprisingly, this man completed a mission that no other players had the courage to take up. It was a Level 60 renegade general, after all. Worse still, he was guarded by a big group of Yellow Turban soldiers.

No matter what, Chu Tian managed to claim his 20 gold coins. He gave 5 coins to Xia Tianliang as remuneration.

The mid-grade skill book gifted to Chu Tian by the guardian of Langya City, Zang Ba, was [Mid-Grade Archery]. It served to enhance the attack force and destructive force of a longbow when it was employed as a weapon.

Here came another fortune. Without any hesitation, Chu Tian headed for the auction house to continue searching for drawings. Construction drawings would never be enough. The only way to upgrade the village to Level 3 was by enhancing the prosperity level of the village as quickly as possible.

“Shopkeeper, it’s me again.”

Although the auction house of Langya City was an extortionate premise, they had very complete stocks of construction drawings… It was alright. He would be the meat on their chopping board, then.

Seeing the small sack of gold coins that Chu Tian placed on the counter, the shopkeeper beamed with delight and rubbed his palms together. “Young sir, you are the biggest patron of our business of late. I wonder what kind of construction drawings you are looking for? Recently, we purchased the drawing of a miniature brothel at a high price, which costs 300 units of silver. Would you like to have one?”
