Five days of crazy spring offensive operations brought Shanhai Town a lot of rewards.
First was the population. A total of 1,967 people were added, of which 868 were combatants and 1,099 were non-combatants. It had long surpassed the town's population limit of 5,000. Ouyang Shuo had to send some of the captives to Beihai Town and Pool Town.
Out of the 868 combatants, 18 were executed for their heinous crimes, 600 were integrated into the army, and the remaining 250 were sent to the mines for a year.
The navy was divided into three companies from the captives and officially formed the navy camp, with the intermediate general Pei Dong as the battalion commander. The first company's captain was Zhou Feng, the second company's captain was You Fang, and the third company's captain was Li Hai. The remaining two company captains were not appointed yet.
Li Hai was a beginner general, and was the most outstanding one among the pirates. Plus, the residents had a good impression of him, so Ouyang Shuo promoted him to company captain.
The cavalry was divided into three companies and officially formed the Shanhai Town Cavalry Camp, with the intermediate general Lin Yi as the battalion commander. The first company's captain was Li Mingliang, the second company's captain was Sun Tengjiao, the third company's captain was Liao Kai, the fourth company's captain was Guo Liang, and the fifth company's captain was Su Wang.
Su Wang was a junior general as well, and he was an elite figure in the large bandit camp. He had an upright character and was untainted by mud. After Ouyang Shuo understood the situation, he decisively promoted Su Wang to be a platoon leader.
As for the infantry, Ouyang Shuo didn't plan to expand yet. According to his plan, he still hoped to absorb quality soldiers from the mountain barbarian tribes. To make it easier to command, he gave the infantry a battalion, with Shi Wansui as the battalion commander. There were only the original three companies for now.
The other big reward was naturally the funds. The cash they got, plus the money from selling the blueprints, amounted to 2550 gold. After deducting the military and general fees, there were 1710 gold left.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have a specific plan on how to use the funds. The most important thing now was to upgrade the territory to a third level town. The population had already reached the upper limit, but the alchemy workshop in the second level town was still not being built.
As Ouyang Shuo expected, the most troublesome thing was that damned alchemist. Shanhai Town was such a strong territory, but there wasn't a single alchemist after so long. He didn't know what kind of luck Di Chen had, but he managed to get an Alchemist within half a month.
In the end, it was Fan Zhongyan who reminded him and said, "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, the talent recruitment center in the territory can randomly recruit a special talent every month. My lord hasn't used the quota for March yet, right? Why don't you give it a try? "
Ouyang Shuo nodded, but he didn't have much hope. He bitterly smiled and said, "How could there be such a coincidence in this world? We just happened to be able to recruit an alchemist that we urgently need."
"How would we know if we don't try?" Fan Zhongyan insisted.
"Alright, then I'll make a trip." Ouyang Shuo finally compromised.
This was the second time Ouyang Shuo had entered the Recruitment Hall. Last time, the Recruitment Hall had offered him two talents, Fan Zhongyan and Du Chun. He wondered if they could help the Shanhai Town this time.
"System Notice: Congratulations to player Who Has No Clothes for opening the Recruitment Hall. You only have one chance to recruit a special talent, do you want to recruit?"
"Recruitment!"
"System Notice: Congratulations to player Who Has No Clothes for successfully recruiting a special talent – an Advanced Alchemist. 10 gold coins automatically deducted."
A ray of white light flashed, and a thirty year old European walked out from the teleportation array. He bowed towards Ouyang Shuo in a western medieval noble etiquette, saying warmly, "Magnus pays his respects to your Lordship!"
Ha, the heavens really blessed me. I really managed to recruit an alchemist. Ouyang Shuo was indescribably surprised. He smiled and said, "Mr Magnus, welcome to the Shanhai Town."
What happened next was simple. With the full effort of the Construction Division, the alchemy workshop was built in just one day. The Advanced Alchemist Magnus from the West, Magnus, had officially moved in. In this way, the last obstacle to the level-3 town had been completely swept away.
…
24th March, 9 in the morning, Shanhai Town's conference hall.
Ouyang Shuo muttered in his heart for the territory to level up. With a swoosh, a white light flashed, and a golden stone tablet slowly rose from the ground in the middle of the conference hall. He pressed his right hand on the front of the stone tablet, and the system notification rang out.
"System Notice: Testing the level-up requirements for the Shanhai Town …"
"Requirement 1: The population has reached the population limit of 5,000 people. Requirements met!"
"Requirement 2: All the basic structures have been completed. Requirements met!"
"Requirement 3: The Lord must be at least a first-rank Viscount. Requirements met!"
"System Notice: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has Clothes for establishing Shanhai Town. All the level-up requirements have been met. Do you want to level up?"
"Level up!"
On the stone tablet, a golden light shot up into the sky and exploded in the air, turning into a golden halo that spread in all directions. The halo continued to extend to the new edge of the territory before disappearing again.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has Clothes for becoming the second Lord of a Town in the China server to level up to a level-3 town. Reward: 1,000 achievement points!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has Clothes for becoming the second Lord of a Town in the China server to level up to a level-3 town. Reward: 1,000 achievement points!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has Clothes for becoming the second Lord of a Town in the China server to level up to a level-3 town. Reward: 1,000 achievement points!"
It had been a week since Di Chen's Handan Town had leveled up to a level-3 town. Shanhai Town had just leveled up. No matter what, it had at least dealt a blow to the suspicions from before. The battle for the world's number one county had officially begun.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has Clothes for becoming a level-3 town. Town Lord's Mansion has automatically leveled up. Three Level 3 basic buildings have been randomly selected. Player may choose one of them. "
"System Announcement: Three buildings have been randomly selected. They are an inn, a pawnshop, and an accessory shop. Please choose!"
"Choose the pawnshop!"
"System Announcement: Building is being automatically generated. Please check for yourself!"
A white light flashed, and the golden stone tablet slowly sank into the ground again. Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check the stats of Shanhai Town.
