Chapter 305 Expansion Pack: Revolt

Just as Ouyang Shuo was weighing the balance, there was a wave of unrest and another wave.

That afternoon, another system announcement sounded.

"World Announcement: On the occasion of the first anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will release the first expansion piece [Revealing the Pole]. For details, please log on to the official website to check."

Gaia magnifies her moves one after another, which really makes people love and hate.

[Revolt] is the peasant uprising movement, which can be found in various countries, such as the Spartacus uprising, the Sicilian slave uprising, the Scottish uprising, the German peasant war, and so on.

Of course, the most frequent peasant uprisings were in China. Peasant uprisings occurred in China the most, and the most brutal, directly or indirectly toppled several dynasties.

In the game, Gaia will select the most representative peasant uprising leaders, arrange them to appear in the wilderness, gather refugees, set off wave after wave of uprising, and attack the lords directly.

Those who join the uprising army are not only refugees in the wilderness, but also bandits and robbers may complete gorgeous transformations, turning "robbing houses" into "walking on behalf of the sky".

If the [popularity] of the territory does not meet the standard, or the tax is too heavy, or the corvee is too heavy, or the people do not have enough to eat, etc., it may cause the people to join the uprising army and overthrow the rule of the lord.

Not only that, the peasant uprising swept a large number of refugees, which in turn would affect the number of refugees refreshed in the territory. If the [security] of the territory is not up to standard, there may even be a situation where no refugees are refreshed.

Gaia obviously didn't want the lord to develop with peace of mind, and kept setting up obstacles for the lord and arranging opponents.

The first year was wild beasts, rogues, and robbers in the wilderness, and the second year was super-class rogue camps and peasant uprising troops. There must be even more brutal existences in the future.

As the strength of the territory increases, the opponents arranged by Gaia will only become stronger.

The second year of Gaia will be an out-and-out "Year of Turbulence".

Territories that can be stopped will be reborn from the ashes; those that cannot be stopped will have to leave in dismay.

As with anything, there are pros and cons.

If the territory can lead a large army and defeat the uprising army, not only can it capture a large number of people, but it can also earn a large amount of merit points and improve its title.

At this moment, the law of the jungle is fully reflected.

The strong get stronger, the weak get weaker, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest!

It is not difficult to imagine that, except for top-level existences like the Shanhai Territory, it is difficult to survive the wave of uprisings in the single territories, and alliances and alliances will become the general trend.

In the coming period of time, alliances, large and small, will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

The Shanhai League and the Yanhuang League, the two giants in China, will once again become the focus of attention of Lord players.

As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

If you can join one of the two major alliances, let alone sit back and relax, at least you will have the strength to fight.

Unfortunately, neither the Shanhai League nor the Yanhuang League will easily lower the threshold and recruit new members.

Rather lack than abuse, it will never be out of date.

At this time, it is also the best time for the rise of the hero.

There are many ambitious people in the top 100 territories in the territory rankings. Although they do not have such huge influence as Ouyang Shuo, they can still form a regional alliance.

In particular, the prevalence of the Lianzhou model not long ago laid the groundwork for the outbreak at this time.

Within ten days, the situation reversed.

Now it is not a matter of the big territory forcing the small territory to sign a contract, but a matter of the small territory praying for the protection of the big territory, otherwise, they will never survive this catastrophe.

If Ouyang Shuo remembers correctly, in the past three years of Gaia, the number of territories in China has dropped sharply, to less than 500 territories. As long as they are not promoted to the county seat, they will basically be eliminated.

His appearance has completely changed the pattern of China, breaking the situation where the Six Hegemons of Handan dominate the world, and giving more heroes a chance to rise.

How the situation will develop in the future, Ouyang Shuo is not sure yet.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and continued to check the contents of the expansion pack.

Peasant uprisings are the most frequent in China. Gaia selects the four most representative peasant uprisings in Chinese history and throws them into the wilderness at one time.

[Uprising Name]: Chen Sheng Wu Guang Uprising

[Uprising Name]: Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement

[Uprising time]: Qing Dynasty

[Uprising Leaders]: Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Li Xiucheng

【Scope of activities】: Southwest

[Uprising Evaluation]: The largest peasant uprising in Chinese history

The environment in the game is completely different from the environment when the uprising occurred.

Therefore, Gaia restrained the four uprising groups in four major regions, basically covering the Chinese region. As for the areas that were not affected, such as Qiongzhou Island and Yizhou Island, even if the territories in this area were lucky, they escaped.

Gaia does not pursue any absolute fairness at all, and luck is also a kind of strength.

Again, there are advantages and disadvantages, and nothing is absolute.

Qiongzhou Island and Yizhou Island are not connected to any royal city, and they are isolated overseas.

In Gaia's setting, the two islands are still in a wild period, where wild beasts are rampant, powerful, extremely dangerous, and even wild beasts exist.

In addition, there are a large number of indigenous people living on the island, who live by hunting. Think about how strong these indigenous tribes are to survive on an island where wild beasts are rampant.

The above two factors determine that it is difficult for the player's territory to survive on the island. Otherwise, when choosing the place of birth, Ouyang Shuo would not have chosen the Lianzhou Basin, but was born directly on the island.

An island is a paradise and a prison.

*************

Of the four uprising groups, Ouyang Shuo was most concerned about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. Because the birthplace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is Jintian Village, Xunzhou, Guangxi.

Xunzhou is located in the north of the Lianzhou Basin. Once you leave Zhennanguan, you will enter the boundary of Xunzhou. As for Wuzhou, where Chiyou City is located, it is directly east of Xunzhou.

In other words, if Ouyang Shuo wanted to enter the hinterland of Guangxi, he had to deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The Tianping Heavenly Kingdom is well-organized, and there are many capable ministers and generals inside. It can be called the most powerful group among the four major uprising groups, which is really no small matter.

With the current strength of Shanhailing, it can't fight against the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom at its peak.

Fortunately, the outbreak of the uprising requires a preparation process, and it will not explode all at once.

In the early days, the leader of the uprising led a cadre of key personnel to appear in the wilderness, recruit troops, lay down a territory as a base, and then continue to expand outward to occupy more territories, and this cycle repeats.

Their ultimate goal is to establish a powerful regime - Jianguo.

Therefore, the uprising group can be regarded as a lord group with its own BUG skills.

As soon as they were born, they had their own backbone of direct lineage, and they had their own powerful skills to gather refugees. There would never be a situation where they were alone and their roots were not deep, so that all the lords could only kneel and lick.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't help praying for those territories that happened to be the birthplace of the uprising group. They would be the first victims, and they couldn't stop the vast army of uprisings.

In the previous life, Ouyang Shuo remembered that some unlucky lords simply surrendered to the uprising group and sought a position within the uprising group.

There are some lords who are really in the limelight, and they are in the limelight for a while.

In fact, Gaia's setting is very free.

After Gaia planted the uprising group into the wilderness, she would no longer interfere with the operation of the game.

In other words, if the uprising group is really powerful and capable, or if the lords are too useless, then the uprising group may really establish a country in the wilderness and survive forever.

Gaia would not say that the forces implanted in the past will be cleared out in the next expansion.

Absolutely not!

If the lords of a country unite, they can't defeat the uprising group in their own country; then it's very simple, the lords of this country have to GameOver, without any sympathy.

In the end, the only option is for the system, Wangcheng, to send troops to kill the uprising group and liquidate it.

After that, players in the country can only do the village building task again, get the village building token, and then rebuild a first-level village in the wilderness, starting from scratch.

In this way, when the national war breaks out, the country can only be slaughtered by other countries.

Therefore, the surrender of the lord to the uprising group may not be a way out.

If one can seek a high position in the uprising group, or even assist the uprising group, overcome all obstacles and make meritorious service, it is possible to become a founding hero and regain the title and fiefdom.

At the end of the game, when the achievement value is counted, the sealed territory is also valid.

In this way, it not only provides a glimmer of life for the unlucky lord, but also deduces the progress of the game to a more intricate situation.

For the lord, it is a huge challenge.

Otherwise, how could there be players in the previous life who joked that the lords who could persist in the wilderness to the end were all masochists.

Really, pain and happiness!

Regarding this, Ouyang Shuo could only smile wryly. What he can do now is to speed up the pace of unifying the Lianzhou Basin and win a safe and stable rear for the territory.

For the rest, soldiers can only come to cover the water and soil.
