As soon as Yang Rui teleported back to the town meeting room, he immediately sent soldiers to look for Wang Hai and the others. Meanwhile, Yang Rui prepared to revive the soldiers that he had lost recently. However, when he opened the revival list, Yang Rui was stunned!
In the process of participating in the regional storyline [Battle of Guang Zong], Yang Rui had lost less than eighty soldiers. However, the number of soldiers on the revival list was more than three hundred! In other words, during the time that Yang Rui was away from Mountain Town, the two territories had lost over two hundred soldiers! Ever since the start of the game, Yang Rui had never suffered such a huge loss!
Upon closer inspection, Yang Rui realized that most of the soldiers waiting to be revived were Fourth Grade soldiers. When he thought of the possible attack on Mountain Town two days ago, Yang Rui speculated that these soldiers were probably killed then.
"Welcome back, my lord!"
Not long after, the soldiers brought Wang Hai, Zhang Tian, Sun Bao, Chi Zhong, and the others to the meeting room of Mountain Town. Everyone greeted Yang Rui in unison.
"Mm, thank you for your hard work! Please take a seat. "
Yang Rui nodded and invited Wang Hai, Zhang Tian, and the others to take a seat.
"Reporting to my lord, this old man asks for my lord's punishment! On the 21st day of the seventh month, Mountain Town's checkpoint at Ao Lai Valley was suddenly attacked by over 30000 mutants from the Yellow Turban Faction. Due to the suddenness of the attack, the initial gate was left open. When the mutants rushed in, the gate was almost lost!
Fortunately, Zhang Tian, Sun Bao, the 16 new Generals and the rest of the soldiers fought with all their might. Only then were they able to drive the Yellow Turban Players out of the gate. They ensured that the checkpoint was not lost! Even so, our Great Mountain Town still lost 266 soldiers. There were also many wounded. Fortunately, they were rescued in time and have all recovered!
Although the attack this time was sudden, this old man has also neglected many areas. Therefore, my lord, please punish me … "
Before Yang Rui could ask about the loss of the soldiers, Wang Hai had already explained everything that happened in Mountain Town, begging Yang Rui to punish him! And according to the time Wang Hai mentioned, it just happened to correspond with the time when Yang Rui discovered this matter.
"Subordinate Zhang Tianduo has failed in his duty. Please punish me, my lord! "
"Subordinate Sun Bao asks for my lord's punishment!"
“.....”
As soon as Wang Hai's voice fell, how could the others still sit still? They all stood up from their seats and apologized to Yang Rui!
"Everyone, there's no need for that! At the time of the incident, I was also aware of it. Fortunately, all of you were able to defend Big Mountain Town at that critical moment, ensuring that the territory was not lost. Thus, all of you can only take credit. There was nothing wrong with it! Please sit down and talk … "
Under Yang Rui's repeated persuasion, Wang Hai, Zhang Tianduo, Sun Bao, and Chi Zhong finally sat down again, looking guilty and uneasy.
The attack on Mountain Town was something that Yang Rui did not expect. It was a sudden incident, under the circumstances where there were no players present. It was already good that these NPCs were able to do so much. Naturally, Yang Rui did not plan to blame anyone.
After listening to Wang Hai's explanation, Yang Rui also understood that there was an element of luck in being able to defend Ao Lai Valley's entrance in time.
Before Yang Rui went to Ji Province to conquer Yellow Turban, he had left behind 16 sets of basic Neigong Mantras, the corresponding skill books, weapons, and so on. Fortunately, Wang Hai had found suitable candidates in time and had already changed classes to 16 Beginner Generals. When the Yellow Turban Faction players came to attack and pick a fight, the 16 new Class Advancement Generals in Big Mountain Town must have played a key role!
"Do all of you know who the Yellow Turban Inhumans who attacked Mountain Town were?" Yang Rui asked.
"My lord, most of the Yellow Turban Inhumans who attacked Mountain Town this time used yellow turban to cover most of their faces. Even if there were some who did not cover their faces, we have never seen them before. We only heard them mention the word 'Star Flare' during the fierce battle. As for their specific identities, we are unable to confirm …"
Wang Hai stood up again and told Zhang Tianduo what he had heard.
"That is correct. At that time, the Yellow Turban Inhumans came and left quickly. When they realized that they could not take advantage of the situation, they did not fight for long and retreated not long after. As for their identities, there are almost no clues. However, I can confirm that there are at least six Beginner Generals among the Inhumans!"
Zhang Tianduo also stood up and confirmed.
"Oh? 'Star Flare'? Beginner Generals? Is that the case? "
Yang Rui could not help but fall into deep thought. 'Star Flare' should be referring to the sub-guild of Star Flare in Juping County. Previously, Yang Rui and the leader of Star Flare's main guild, Star Flare Long Sky, had a very pleasant conversation. There was no direct conflict of interest between them.
However, it was difficult to explain why there were six Beginner Generals. Star Flare's sub-guild in Juping County did not have such strength. Could it be that another player organization had used the name 'Star Flare' to do this? Yang Rui instinctively felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
However, when he saw that Wang Hai, Zhang Tianduo and the rest were a little restrained because of the attack on Mountain Town, Yang Rui did not say much about it. He only remembered the clues in his heart. If he found out about it again in the future, Yang Rui would not let it go so easily.
After that, Yang Rui used his quest points to revive more than 300 dead soldiers. He then brought Wang Hai, Zhang Tianduo and the rest to check out the situation in Mountain Town. Yang Rui chatted with them as they walked. The atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
Other than the accidental attack by the Yellow Turban Camp players, the rest of the production in Mountain Town was proceeding in an orderly manner. Yang Rui was finally relieved.
"… According to the master's orders when he was upgrading to a Medium Town, Mountain Town has recently increased its efforts to reclaim wastelands. Until now, the total cultivated land in Mountain Town has reached more than 60,000 acres. It is mainly distributed around the Black Dragon Pool. It is more convenient to draw water and the shortage of water has been alleviated. Therefore, the food production has recovered quite a bit …"
As Yang Rui and the rest looked around, Wang Hai explained in detail.
"… Ever since the master brought back many maidservants, there are a few women who have the talent for tailoring. The tailor shop in Mountain Town has no lack of Advanced and Intermediate Tailoring Skills. Among them, there are three who have the Advanced Tailoring Skill, including Qinger. Currently, the tailor shop is jointly managed by Qinger and Liu Yan. However, they still lack the relevant tailoring blueprints for the time being. Otherwise, they would be able to make many valuable things! "
Wang Hai continued as they passed by the tailor shop in Mountain Town.
At the mention of maidservants, Yang Rui remembered that he had collected more than 500 maidservants when he went to Ji Province to fight against the Yellow Turban Camp. Yang Rui released these women from his Storage Ring and handed them over to Wang Hai. In addition, the 300 or so male odd-job workers were also handed over to Wang Hai for him to settle down.
Wang Hai was naturally very happy. The more people there were, the more laborers there would be, and the more prosperous and powerful Mountain Town would become.
"My lord, ever since the master and Mr. Cheng Yu settled the Yan Province, the Han Ting refugees who were previously living in Mountain Town and outside the Black Dragon Swamp have begun to return to their hometowns. Among them, more than 5,000 have benefited from our Mountain Town's financial support and have taken the initiative to seek refuge with Mountain Town. This has caused the population of Mountain Town to increase greatly!
In addition, there are still many refugees who have successively sought refuge in Mountain Town. Currently, there are nearly 18000 Liegeman in Mountain Town. In addition to the 800 Liegeman that the master brought back this time, the population of Mountain Town will soon reach the upper limit. I hope that the master can upgrade Mountain Town to an Advanced Town as soon as possible to accommodate more people! "
At the mention of population, Wang Hai's mood immediately improved and he took the initiative to mention the matter of upgrading the territory.
"Oh? There's such a thing? Those refugees are finally willing to seek refuge with Mountain Town? Let's go and take a look. "
Yang Rui was naturally very happy when he heard that the population had increased greatly. Following which, he went to the place where the refugees had settled down outside the Black Dragon Swamp. Although these refugees had now sought refuge in Mountain Town, they were already used to working and making a living here. As such, they did not move into the Black Dragon Swamp and instead made use of the outer valley.
However, due to the large scale participation of these refugees, the popular sentiment of the Liegeman in Mountain Town decreased and returned to below 85 points. It could only slowly recover. However, he believed that it would not take too long.
When they passed by the Black Dragon Swamp, Wang Hai also reported to Yang Rui the current situation of the Yellow Scarf leaders. Currently, Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng, and Bu Ji were under the care of the white-clothed woman and her companion. They had been staying on the dilapidated ship this entire time! Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng were still unconscious. Bu Ji was also being controlled by the white-clothed woman and there was nothing wrong with him for the time being.
Because of this, Yang Rui also thought of the other Yellow Scarf leader in the storage ring — — Prince of Anping Liu Xu. He casually let him out and told Wang Hai to temporarily place him in the thatched hut that Cheng Yu used to live in in the Gourd Valley.
Compared to Bo Cai and the other Yellow Scarf leaders, Prince of Anping Liu Xu did not possess any martial arts or special skills, so he was much less of a threat. Furthermore, Yang Rui had already reached a secret agreement with him. Even if he did not restrict Liu Xu's freedom, he believed that Liu Xu would not easily leave!
After Yang Rui had inspected Mountain Town, Yang Rui was completely at ease. He brought Wang Hai and the others to the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley. Because he would be away for a long time this time, Yang Rui prepared to first go to Jiang Ji's Wutun Town and the other strongholds to take a look before discussing other matters.
"Elder Wang Hai, we will proceed with the matter of upgrading the high-grade town. However, before that, I'm afraid we will need to replenish and upgrade a few buildings. I will now head to Jiang Ji's Wutun Town to take a look. I will also take a detour to the county town to purchase the necessary blueprints for the upgrade. Elder Wang Hai, please take care of the other two matters first."
As Yang Rui spoke, he handed over the Class Advancement General Skill Books and Archer Skill Books he had obtained from Ji Zhou to Wang Hai. There were 41 sets of Basic Neigong and Special Skill Books, 20 sets of Beginner Neigong and Special Skill Advanced Skill Books, and 52 sets of Fourth Grade Archer Skill Books.
"This …"
After Wang Hai received the Skill Books, he became excited again after taking a quick look. He knew very well what these Skill Books meant!
"Elder, among these, 41 Beginner Generals need to be selected and cultivated as soon as possible. As for the 20 sets of Intermediate General Skill Books, you can advertise them among the Beginner Generals. The Generals who meet the requirements first will be able to use them!
As for the Fourth Grade Archer Skill Books, you need to select a Third Grade Archer who meets the requirements within three to four days and use them immediately to upgrade to Fifth Grade using the Rebel Army Camp. Additionally, the Third Grade and above soldiers who have just completed their Class Advancement must also use the Rebel Army Camp to upgrade to Fourth Grade within three to four days. Otherwise, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen! "
Yang Rui specially instructed Wang Hai about the matter of upgrading soldiers. As the System would be updated in four to five days, the channel of upgrading soldiers using the Rebel Army Camp would most likely be blocked!
"Elder Wang Hai and Chi Zhong can go ahead and make the preparations. Blazing Sun's trip to Jiang Ji's Wutun Town shouldn't take more than a day. When he returns, I will personally assist the two of you in the matter of the soldier's Class Advancement!"
"Yes!"
Wang Hai and Chi Zhong replied at the same time. Then, the two of them turned around and headed into the town to make the preparations.
