Chapter 369 Silent March
(PS: Book Friends Group: 571542584, there are maps of China and Lianzhou County hand-painted by the author in the group, if you are interested, you can go and have a look.)
On March 1st of the second year of Gaia, Yashan City.
[Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group], [Qingfeng Pavilion] and [Tingyu Tower] three elite groups from three guilds, a total of 1,500 elite players, were sent to Yashan City.
After the three guilds formed the guild alliance, they showed a tacit understanding. The elite group of [Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group] was led by Lin Jing himself, and the other two were only led by the leader of the elite group.
Such an arrangement is tantamount to acknowledging the leadership of the [Shangxue Meigui Mercenary Corps] in disguise.
Sun Xiaoyue came forward to receive three elite groups.
They will rent a courtyard in Yashan City as a foothold and supply point.
For the Elite Corps, there are two frontiers.
One is the secret land of Dongtian located in Nanshan, which is also the focus of the elite group's pioneering.
Although Nanshan Dongtian can be explored repeatedly by players, there will still be additional rewards for the first pass, and the system will also make an announcement, which is a very rare opportunity to promote the guild.
However, there is only one Dongtian in Nanshan, but there are three guilds, which requires coordination.
Lin Jing came forward and summoned the three heads of the delegation to discuss together. As a result of the negotiation, the three companies took turns to explore in the order of [Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group], [Qingfeng Pavilion] and [Tingyu Tower].
Whoever can win the first-pass reward depends on his own ability.
[Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group] Although it was the first to explore, it didn't take advantage of it.
According to the information disclosed by [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group], if players explore the secret realm and die in battle, they can be reincarnated without damage. It's just that after reincarnation, you can't enter the secret realm again, you have to wait for the next opportunity.
At the same time, it is stipulated that a player can reincarnate up to three times without loss in the same secret realm. More than three times, if you still take the risk to explore and die in battle, you will be reincarnated and your level will be reset to zero.
Gaia's arrangement is not to show mercy, but to explore the secret realm, which is very difficult. It is almost impossible to explore and clear the level for the first time.
It is reported that the 【Blood Fiend Mercenary Group】explored the secret realm, and it took a month and a half before and after. Five waves of people were changed, and the number of deaths reached more than 2,000 times before they were able to pass the level.
The greater the gain, the greater the risk.
Facts have proved that the gains of Bloody Romance are completely sufficient to make up for the losses of its exploration.
At the same time, there are different secret realms, and there are settings for the upper limit of the number of people.
The upper limit of the number of people in Nanshan Dongtian is 100 people.
Therefore, an elite group can be divided into five teams and take turns to explore.
Depending on the type of secret realm, there are also different regulations on the number of times it can be opened.
The Adventure Secret Realm can only be explored once, regardless of whether it has been cleared or not, it will disappear immediately after exploring.
The scroll cheats can be explored once a day until the level is cleared. After the level is cleared, it will disappear immediately.
The public secret realm is opened once every morning and afternoon, and will never disappear.
Nanshan Secret Realm is a public secret realm, which is opened twice a day.
Three elite groups, 15 teams, the last round is basically only a week.
Even so, there is still a team with a bye.
Therefore, when they are not exploring the secret land, they will go to the second pioneering place-Wuzhi Mountain.
The target of the elite group is naturally not ordinary beasts, but wild beasts all over Wuzhi Mountain.
In this way, they can not only level up, but also get advanced materials. If you're lucky, you might even get a Desolate Beast Inner Alchemy.
In addition, players can also use contract scrolls to sign contracts with desolate beasts, as pets, as mounts, or as combat partners, all are good.
Therefore, Yazhou is simply a paradise for the elite group.
After a little repair, the elite group is ready to go to Nanshan Dongtian and prepare for the first exploration.
***********
Just the day before the arrival of the elite group, the third batch of immigrants had already set off from Beihai Port.
The main force of immigrants is 10,000 farmers drawn from all over Lianzhou County.
Their task is to reclaim wasteland. Yashan City had to complete the reclamation of wasteland before Qingming, so as not to delay the sowing of the first season of rice.
Accompanying them was the Tiger Legion.
In addition, there are hundreds of merchant ships.
The establishment of Yashan City will undoubtedly inject a boost to the major chambers of commerce. In particular, I heard that the Marquis of Lianzhou will send two elite divisions to guard the town of Yashan. Chamber of Commerce is more at ease.
The rich natural resources of Yazhou have completely touched the sensitive nerves of the Chamber of Commerce, and they have increased their investment.
The major chambers of commerce bought large tracts of land in Yashan City to build shops and various workshops. At the same time, they rented a large piece of wasteland outside the city to reclaim the farm.
Therefore, in addition to various materials, the fleet of the Chamber of Commerce also has a large number of laborers they recruited from the royal city.
According to Ouyang Shuo's request, the laborers of the chamber of commerce must also be registered as citizens of Yashan City.
As a result, the development of Yashan City began to enter the fast lane.
Limited to Bing'er's title, Ouyang Shuo's initial strategy for managing Yashan City was to introduce a large number of immigrants. Just being transferred from Lianzhou County, it seems a bit like tearing down the east wall to make up for the east wall.
The third batch of immigrants was the last batch of support from Lianzhou County to Yashan City.
For the rest of the population, we have to find a way from other aspects, or guide the chamber of commerce to settle in, which will drive the inflow of a large number of laborers; or divert adventure players; or take the idea of the natives of Qiongzhou Island.
All in all, Ouyang Shuo will never tolerate it, and Yashan City will develop step by step. With Lianzhou County as a strong support, Yashan City is destined to move towards a high-speed development path that is completely different from Lianzhou County.
***********
In March, Ouyang Shuo was inspecting Lianzhou County, and Yashan City was quietly developing.
Throughout March, other lord players were also unusually silent.
After the Battle of Lianzhou, the Yanhuang League went into hibernation, silently accumulating strength.
After the Shanhai League achieved its goal, all members also restrained themselves and began to digest the results of the war.
The territorial war in China triggered by the Battle of Lianzhou has completely subsided, and the wilderness has returned to calm.
The rest of the lord players are going through the integration within the regional alliance.
Therefore, the wilderness appears unusually silent.
Of course, the four major uprising legions are still expanding as before. They are like a swarm of locusts in the wilderness, spreading across the wilderness with a sweeping force.
In the silence, the only breaking news was that Jun Shen was assassinated and killed in Danyang County.
A lord was assassinated to death in his own territory, which was undoubtedly a sensation.
For the lords, it is very shocking.
After the assassination incident, all the lords invariably increased the guard force around them, even in the territory, they did not dare to relax at all.
Being killed on the spot in front of his subordinates and citizens would deal a great blow to the prestige of the lord.
What's even more bizarre is that the assassin seems to have no intention of hiding his identity.
Less than ten minutes after the assassination, [Blood Blade] publicized on the forum that the assassination was planned and carried out by them alone.
Taking this opportunity, [Blood Blade] began to openly accept various assassination missions.
Chun Shenjun's death in battle has completely achieved the prestige of [Blood Blade].
***********
Compared with the lord players, the adventure players are extremely active.
The friction between the guilds continued to escalate.
Small-scale guild battles happen in the wilderness from time to time.
With the strength of the guild, it is becoming more and more difficult for players in small teams to survive.
Because of the harsh death penalty, once the Lone Ranger dies, not only will his level be cleared, but even a set of equipment that he has worked so hard to save will not come back.
They are not like guilds, because they act collectively, and if they are killed in battle, the team members will help put away the equipment.
As for the level, the guild will also arrange for someone to lead the leveling, and it will recover very quickly.
The Lone Ranger can't do it. Once killed in battle, it is almost impossible to turn over.
The direct result is that some of the players who died in battle became discouraged and turned to the sequence of professional players in life.
According to Gaia's settings, if the player dies in battle, he will have a chance to choose a new career when he reincarnates.
Of course, there is only one chance, and if you reincarnate next time, you can't change it.
Some of the players who died in battle, after being reincarnated, threw themselves into the arms of the big guild and sheltered them under the guild. Because of this, the contradictions are further intensified because the major guilds have absorbed a large amount of fresh blood.
The rivers and lakes began to be full of killings.
Scarlet, began to spread among the adventure player group.
Affected by this, the situation of one of the top ten guilds began to become difficult.
It is [a thread].
As a guild of purely life players, [A Silky Wisp] has almost zero combat effectiveness. As members' skill levels increase, they require more and more rare materials.
And these materials are almost controlled by the major guilds.
The result is that [a thread of wisp] is in an even more embarrassing situation.
Of course, [a wisp] is still very tempting.
Whether it's a lord or a guild, they all covet [a wisp] of skilled talents. Some guilds even threatened the rare materials and demanded the annexation of 【One Wisp】.
Among them, the one with the toughest attitude is [Sword Qi] who also belongs to Kyoto.
It is rumored that under the strong pressure of [Sword Qi], [A Wisp] has begun to reduce staff.
At this moment, a dramatic scene happened.
The [Star Alliance], which is headquartered in Kyoto, made a sudden effort to announce its existence in a high-profile manner, and gradually entered the player's field of vision.
There are rumors that the [Star Alliance] has also shown interest in [a wisp].
The strange thing is that seeing [Star Alliance] make a move, [Sword Qi] began to restrain itself.
If it is said that there is nothing tricky in it, I would not believe it if I was killed.
Ouyang Shuo knew that this must be the result of Di Chen's mediation.
For a time, the influence of [Star Alliance] rose rapidly.
【Star Alliance】has also begun open recruitment of members. Presumably, the hidden family that Xingzhe Zhichen belongs to, after a series of games and compromises, finally decided to be born.
