"Unsigned …"
"System Announcement: Players from the Three Kingdoms region have arrived at the Wo Nation region's affiliated territory — Shrimp Barren Land for the first time. Special reward: 1000 Reputation Points …"
There was no rush to cross the sea. After Yang Rui teleported, he chose to anonymously make a system announcement. A civilization-wide system announcement was made three times. At this point, all the online players in the game knew that China players had arrived in the Wo Nation region.
Although Cheng Yu had advised Yang Rui to include his own name in the system announcement, the situation this time was a little special. Adding his own name was purely looking for trouble. Once the players knew about it, it would cause a lot of trouble.
At this time, Yang Rui had time to take a look at the surroundings. Looking around, Yang Rui found that he had been teleported to a town, and the surrounding area was indeed full of dense forests.
The only thing was that the terrain of the town was intertwined with mountain peaks. The surrounding scenery was also very similar. With Yang Rui's strength, he could not even tell the direction.

.....”
When Yang Rui and the others entered the empty town's meeting room, they discovered that this town was actually a subsidiary territory of Upper Ink City. Yang Rui had not noticed this in Upper Ink City's attribute list.
This was equivalent to a steal one get one free! It was a pleasant surprise for Yang Rui to have a new town out of nowhere.
Moreover, the town seemed to have been built specifically for the purpose of harvesting wood. It also happened to surround the ancient teleportation portal. It should be a territory specially built by the Mohist Family. The most obvious feature was the hundreds of sawmills of various grades, from basic buildings to special-grade sawmills!
If all these lumber mills were in operation, it would explain the source of the large amount of wood in Upper Ink City.
Yang Rui and the others looked at the surrounding wood resources with great interest. They found that Log Town was located in the middle of a mountain range. The dense forest stretched as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.
Aside from some small beasts roaming around, there were no other NPC tribes around. Perhaps it was because it had not been used for many years. There were no signs of logging around Log Town anymore. Trees had grown back in the area. Yang Rui and the others found two of Log Town's lumber mills in the depths of the forest. The other lumber mills should have been covered by the forest again.
"My lord, there are many high-grade trees here. It is indeed a good place to provide wood raw materials …"
"Mm. I will use the Flying Carpet to check the surroundings."
Yang Rui ordered Zhang Ning, Zhang Mancheng, and Guo Jia to wait in Log Town while he rode the Flying Carpet to check the surroundings.
"Roar!"
"Creak! Ya! "
"Roar …"
Yang Rui hadn't noticed anything when he was relatively close to Log Town. Even if there were wild monsters, they weren't of too high a grade. However, about five kilometers away from Log Town, some Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade beasts had already appeared.
When they were a little further away from Log Town, the situation changed. Yang Rui first discovered the remains of numerous golems and mechanical beasts on the ground. Then, after killing a bird with the power of an intermediate general, he was targeted by two groups of beasts. One was a pack of wolves that had the power of a Fifth Grade soldier, while the other was a group of unknown birds that were black in color.
As expected, where there were resources, there were usually ferocious monsters! The area around Log Town might be rich in wood resources, but there were also groups of native monsters of similar strength scattered around. It was not something that could be harvested easily.
Over an hour later, Yang Rui used a lot of effort to get rid of the two groups of beasts with the speed of the Flying Carpet and returned to the Primewood Town.
According to Yang Rui's analysis, the Mohist Clan should have sent golems and beasts to protect them when they were harvesting the wood here. That would explain why Yang Rui saw so many golems and beasts scattered all over the place.
"Judging from the situation that Lord Governor encountered, Log Town and the sawmill can still be used. However, if you want to harvest wood, you will need soldiers to protect you."
"That is indeed the case. To think that there are general-level beasts here. Moreover, there are many ordinary beasts that have reached Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade."
“.....”
"My lord, why don't you leave this matter to me, Bocai, and Bu Ji to lead some of the Yellow Scarf Soldiers?"
After Yang Rui returned to Log Town, he described the situation to Zhang Ning, Zhang Mancheng, and Guo Jia. The three of them had a discussion. In the end, Zhang Mancheng's suggestion was very much in line with Yang Rui's intentions.
Due to their identities as Yellow Scarf Generals, Zhang Mancheng, Bocai, and Bu Ji's power was suppressed in the three kingdoms' civilization region. As such, they could only be put in charge of training soldiers in the Penglai Region.
However, Shrimp Barren Land happened to be outside the range of the three kingdoms' civilization region. With Zhang Mancheng, Bocai, and Bu Ji's power. They would guard Log Town to ensure that the harvesting of wood continued as usual. It should be more than enough.
"Mm, that's just as well!"
Yang Rui nodded and said, "Let's discuss this matter in detail when we return. The matter of training soldiers in the Penglai Region map can't be abandoned either."
If they were only harvesting wood near Log Town, there was no need for guards.
According to Guo Jia's observations, the School of Mo or the creator of the ancient transmission array had made good use of the surrounding terrain. The terrain of the Primal Wood Town coincided with the structure of a certain maze formation, although it could not fool people. Although it could not be concealed, it could make it difficult for wild beasts to find their way after being trapped.
Perhaps this was also the reason why Yang Rui felt lost when he entered and why there were very few wild beasts around Log Town. Yang Rui was also very impressed by this.
After that, Yang Rui, Zhang Ning, Zhang Mancheng, and Guo Jia used the Teleportation Circle to return to Upper Ink City and began preparing for the harvesting of wood.
However, before that, Sky City was still in Upper Ink City. It also needed to recruit more high-grade NPCs to enter and upgrade its territory level to speed up the recovery of its durability.
Hence, Yang Rui and the others only stayed in Upper Ink City for a while before leaving the Mount Tai Realm and returning to Great Mountain City.
At this time, the Mechanical Puppets and Mechanical Beasts that had retreated from Upper Ink City showed no signs of counterattack. Yang Rui only left Zhang Mancheng in Upper Ink City to defend it. The rest of them were all brought out by Yang Rui.
After returning to Grand Mountain City, Yang Rui gave instructions to Xu You and Wang Hai, ordering them to prioritize recruiting some A-grade aptitude users and young and able-bodied laborers. He then hurriedly left Great Mountain City and rushed to Fan County and Linzi to look for Cheng Yu and Sun Qian. He then began recruiting Liegeman on a large scale for Sky City.
Currently, Sky City's territory level was only an Intermediate Village. In order to ensure that its durability recovered as soon as possible, of course, they had to develop it as quickly as possible. With the current resources in Yang Rui's hands, it was naturally not a problem for him to upgrade the territory. The only thing he lacked was the NPC Liegeman to complete the various buildings needed for the upgrade.
After Yang Rui teleported to Linzi, he rushed to the Penglai Territory Map and brought Bu Ji out, leaving Bo Cai alone in Penglai Territory to be responsible for training the soldiers.
Upper Ink City and Log Town both needed generals to defend. As Zhang Mancheng said, the three yellow-turban generals were just right for the job. Hence, Yang Rui planned to bring Bu Ji over as well.
Similarly, he could not give up on training the soldiers. Only with sufficient military strength could he deal with the situation of disputes between the vassals. For this reason, Yang Rui planned to use the free recruitment quota of soldiers in the counties of Qingzhou and the East County. When the time came, the number of soldiers under Yang Rui's command would increase by at least a million.
Unknowingly, Yang Rui's territory had reached the scale of one state, six and a half counties, and 77 counties. Therefore, the free recruitment quota of state soldiers, county soldiers, and county soldiers was not a small number. Controlling such a large territory was also something that Yang Rui did not expect when he first entered the game.
Four to five days later, Yang Rui had recruited a total of 22000 Rank-A aptitude NPCs from Qingzhou and the East County. They were all sent to Sky City several times, adding the various buildings needed to upgrade the territory.
In just four to five days, Sky City's territory level had been upgraded to an advanced town. The rate at which its durability was recovering had also greatly increased. Currently, it had recovered to 45% of its original durability.
At the same time, Yang Rui also stationed Bu Ji and 50000 Fourth Grade yellow-turban soldiers in Upper Ink City. They worked together with Zhang Mancheng and 40000 Yellow Turban soldiers to deal with the golems and mechanical beasts in the map of Mount Tai.
Gao Shun and his 10000 Formation Breaker soldiers were rearranged by Yang Rui. They started farming golems and mechanical beasts scattered across the map of Mount Tai. This was to eliminate any threats to Upper Ink City and the Liegeman in the map as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the 30000 young and able-bodied laborers were temporarily registered in Upper Ink City by Yang Rui. They started to clean up the damaged buildings and rebuild the castellan's mansion.
Only a thousand or so of them were registered in Log Town by Yang Rui. They started to harvest the surrounding wood in a small area.
Although the defensive forces were not in place yet, the abundant quality wood resources in Log Town were enough to make Yang Rui drool.
