Chapter 229 The Official Showdown Begins! Five Thousand New Recruits Are Leveling up Like Crazy!

Huangmei Township.

The blessing point in the northernmost part of Woniu Mountain.

It has now been built into a frontline fortress in the style of the Undead.

The outermost wall is more than three feet high. Inside the wall are arrow towers, reconnaissance towers, barrier towers, spell towers, etc. In addition, a large number of dead bone tombs are built to repair and restore the dead bone army.

The skeleton altar in the middle is burning with ghost fire, which can increase the buff state for the dead bone army, thereby improving combat effectiveness.

In addition.

There are many other star buildings.

This Huangmei Township is just a township-level blessing point.

Because of this, there is an upper limit to the specifications and number of buildings that can be built.

The construction of the Corpse Witch Territory here is already at the top level, and it can't be higher!

I want to build a more solid frontline fortress.

Either the overall level of the territory is raised to a higher level.

Or occupy a city-level blessing stronghold like Shansang City.

In front of the frontline fortress of the Corpse Witch Territory, a surge of shadow energy suddenly appeared.

Gan Ning appeared here, looking quite embarrassed at the moment, his armor was already badly damaged, and his skeleton was broken in more than a dozen places.

"It's General Gan!"

"Open the door quickly!"

"Please come in quickly, General!"

"..."

After several low-level dead bone generals recognized Gan Ning, they immediately opened the barrier and the city gate.

Gan Ning entered the camp.

First, he met the frontline commander of the territory, Hui Xiu.

Hui Xiu was sitting on the skull altar at this moment, surrounded by dozens of well-equipped corpse demon guards, and surrounded by densely packed dead bone soldiers, including Huang Zu, the chief general of the Dead Bone Corps, and other high-level dead bone generals.

"You still have the face to come back here?!"

Hui Xiu angrily rebuked: "In order to improve your cultivation, the lord has consumed a lot of precious energy in the territory, but you have failed again and again, you are simply a useless waste!"

Gan Ning was originally a hot-tempered person.

Besides, his good friend Su Fei died in the battle.

This made him feel angry now.

He directly retorted: "You know nothing about the strength of the human leader, otherwise you wouldn't say such stupid things. If you were arranged by the lord to participate in these two operations, you would have been a dead body in the tomb by now."

"Bold!"

Hui Xiu was completely angry.

Huang Zu took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Lord Hui Xiu is the front-line commander appointed by the lord. Gan Ning dared to disrespect Lord Hui Xiu, which was disrespectful to the lord. Someone, take this guy down for me!"

Deng Long, Chen Sheng, and Chen Ju stepped forward.

The three were all Huang Zu's trusted generals.

"Who dares to touch me!" Gan Ning roared and frightened several dead bone generals. His powerful strength was here, and the three of them, even with Huang Zu, might not be his opponent.

Gan Ning was violent and fierce, and he really dared to take action, so he didn't dare to get close for a while!

"Enough!"

Gray Xiu originally just wanted to give a warning, take this opportunity to kill the fierce dog's spirit, and further establish his majesty in the Corps of Dead Bones.

If Gan Ning surrendered and bowed his head to apologize.

Gray Xiu would not really do anything to Gan Ning.

Who would have thought that after losing many subordinates and ten secret guards of the Lord, he was still so arrogant and violent. If he didn't teach him a lesson today, how could he lead this front-line legion in the future?

What's more.

Gray Xiu is not a family.

He is a legitimate citizen of the stars.

Although his status is not as high as that of the Lord of the Stars, his birth is similar. Even the Lord has to abide by the employment contract and respect him. How can he tolerate a native of the plane to act wild in front of him?

A breath was released.

Enveloping all the soldiers present.

Strands of black air immediately emerged from these soldiers, and then all gathered on Gray Xiu, making his strength surge several times!

This is a white luck skill from the stars: the power of morale!

Although it is only a white luck skill, it does not have the effect of strengthening the overall combat capability of the army, but this luck skill is outstanding among the white luck skills. Its effect is to extract part of the army's strength to strengthen the strength of him as the commander.

Once this luck skill is used.

The attributes of the troops will be slightly weakened.

And I will get a huge improvement in this process.

Hui Xiu is only a 27th-level commander, and his own strength is definitely not as good as Gan Ning's. At this moment, he has directly reached the threshold of the overlord, summoning a black mist hand and pressing Gan Ning to the ground on the spot.

Switch to normal state.

Gan Ning is not afraid of such attacks at all.

He can perform shadow jump and escape at any time.

But at this moment, Gan Ning has traveled a long distance, and his mana has long been exhausted. In addition, he is also in a weak state, and he is directly suppressed by this force without any resistance.

"Remember!" Hui Xiu said condescendingly, "You are just a slave taken in by the lord. You are alive today thanks to the lord's grace. As a slave, you are never qualified to shout at the retainers!"

Gan Ning's eyes were filled with soul fire: "Kill me if you dare, or I'll remember this grudge!"

I knew Gan Ning was the biggest troublemaker in the Corps of Dead Bones.

But I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"Do you think I don't dare?"

Gan Ning felt the force on his body increase sharply, but he couldn't do anything at the moment. On the one hand, he was exhausted and couldn't break free, and on the other hand, he really couldn't do anything to the corpse demon generals.

In the eyes of these corpse demons, he was really just a low-level servant, or even just a vicious dog.

If he performed well, he could get a few pieces of meat and bones as a reward.

If he dared to attack his master, there would be a hundred ways to deal with him.

Gan Ning was already dissatisfied.

The resentment reached its peak.

"Stop!"

A cold storm enveloped the territory.

When the storm dissipated, a corpse demon holding a long staff, wearing a crown and a gorgeous cloak appeared on the scene. He was accompanied by four powerful subordinates and more than ten commander-level acolytes and secret guards.

"Greetings, Lord!"

Hui Xiu, Huang Zu and others hurriedly saluted.

They obviously didn't expect the lord to come in person.

The lord is usually the biggest trump card in the territory. Although he has extremely powerful strength, it is also related to the survival of the entire territory, so he will not easily go down or appear in the enemy area.

Most of the lord wars.

The process mode and playing style are similar.

The lords of both sides must have observed behind the scenes at the beginning, repeatedly confronted and tested each other to maximize the information and details of the other party. Only in this way can they personally go down and take action.

So when Xie Ming appeared.

It shocked Hui Xiu and Huang Zu.

"General Gan Ning is not responsible for the failure of these two operations. Hui Xiu, you don't have to blame him too much."

"Yes!"

Since the lord said so, Hui Xiu naturally didn't dare to attack Gan Ning again.

Xie Ming looked at Gan Ning and continued, "Although the failure of the operation was not your fault, you seem to be quite dissatisfied with this lord and lack the necessary respect. It is right for General Hui Xiu to punish you slightly. Are you convinced?"

While speaking.

The soul fire of Skeleton Gan Ning trembled.

He could feel an almost instinctive sense of submission surging from the depths of his soul.

This was because Gan Ning had sworn allegiance to Xie Ming, so the Stars Mark was affecting him, and because Skeleton Gan Ning was originally a lower-level dead bone family created by Xie Ming, he would instinctively feel submission to the higher-level creator.

Gan Ning knelt on one knee and bowed his head in obedience: "I know my crime!"

Xie Ming said calmly: "You must understand that this lord can give you a new life, even enhance your abilities and cultivation, and can also take back all the gifts at any time!"

Gan Ning could only bow his head in front of the lord: "Yes!"

Xie Ming nodded with satisfaction: "This matter ends here, you will continue to fight for the territory next, after all, this war has just begun!"

When the oppression and submission from the soul gradually disappeared.

Gan Ning also felt his mind gradually sobering up.

He felt extremely humiliated for a while.

And powerless.

Xie Ming did not punish Gan Ning.

Because there was not much point in doing so.

Although Gan Ning always had some remnants of humanity that could not be completely assimilated, so he seemed a little thorny, but he was indeed a useful blade and a ferocious hound.

At this moment.

The lord war will enter a critical moment.

He can still play a huge role next.

The confrontations and two attempts in the past few days all ended in failure, which made the evil corpse demon lord realize a reality.

That is.

Seeking a surprise attack and quick victory is not advisable!

This human territory is far from being as simple as imagined, there are at least two unexpected things.

First, the talents are beyond imagination.

Jia Xu, Zhou Cang, Wen Pin, Zhang Zhongjing.

It is good for an ordinary lord to have one talent of this level.

This human territory not only has multiple people at the same time, but each of them has unique skills and is not easy to deal with.

Second, it is naturally the Scourge Legion.

The battle that took place today made the corpse witch lord officially confirm an incredible fact!

That is, this lord does have the ability to resurrect his family in batches!

It is very tricky.

Xie Ming was not afraid.

On the contrary, he felt excited.

The Stars Camp does have many ways to resurrect the dead.

But I have never heard of any buildings or items that can quickly resurrect dead troops in large numbers.

All resurrection items are rare. Even if they can be used to resurrect subordinates, they have to pay a very high price or extremely expensive cost.

For example, the Scroll of Creation.

This is relatively the most famous and common consumable item.

Although this item is not cheap, it is very cost-effective among resurrection items.

Even for an extremely rare consumable item like the Scroll of Creation, its resurrection ability is not unlimited and unconditional. The premise of resurrection is whether the soul is intact.

If no special protection measures are taken, the souls of most creatures will be damaged and missing at the moment of death, and it will be difficult to complete the resurrection even if the Scroll of Creation is obtained.

It is reasonable to resurrect one or two particularly important subordinates.

Even the richest lords cannot use similar methods on every citizen in the territory!

Xie Ming is highly suspicious.

The human lord has mastered a powerful relic.

This relic can store the souls of some of the people in the clan, so that these people have almost perfect resurrection ability.

The relic can be inherited!

As long as he wins this lord war.

Xie Ming can obtain this powerful relic, and this is why Xie Ming is excited.

If he can get such a relic, his legion will become more powerful, even enough to sweep the upper races.

As for whether they can win?

Xie Ming is still confident.

The human race has many top talents, but the corpse witch has Gan Ning Huang Zu, plus Hui Xiu and other trusted generals hired from the Star Land at a high price.

Although the human race has the ability to resurrect troops, Xie Ming does not think that this resurrection is costless. How many resources can a mere human territory consume?

Xie Ming has a strong background and has been operating the territory for many years. He also has the dead bone army he built as cannon fodder. He believes that even if he fights a war of attrition, there is no reason for him to fall behind!

What's more.

According to his observation.

There are only about 4,000 undead troops.

This army is not strong, but it is not without a way to deal with it.

Xie Ming decided to change his mindset and no longer pursue a quick victory with a surprise move, but to start a steady and steady approach, nibbling away at this human territory bit by bit!

…………

Luoshui main city.

In the core hall.

Hang Yu noticed that the natural disaster army had finished cleaning up the battlefield.

This battle yielded a lot of gains. Not only did more than 100 new second-level players appear as expected, but 12 players also broke through to the third level.

Essence is an important source of income.

But it is not the only source of income.

In today's battle, these players killed more than 3,000 dead skeletons in total, which not only greatly weakened the strength of the corpse witch leader, but also obtained a staggering amount of spoils.

The drop of magic crystals alone is expected to exceed 100,000.

This is definitely a surprising amount of money!

It greatly alleviated the urgent needs of the territory!

It is enough to speed up the construction of the territory!

Of course, after the magic crystals are picked up by the players, they may not be returned immediately through submission. Players will definitely keep a batch in their hands and use them as currency to supplement the lack of liquidity of contribution points.

This problem is easy to solve.

There are already many well-built shops or various real estate projects in the main city. The auction stage will be entered next. In order to compete for these high-quality assets, players can only hand in their magic crystals in exchange for more contribution points.

In addition to essence and magic crystals.

The equipment dropped by the Bone Army is very powerful.

Under the tenfold explosion rate of the players of the Scourge Army, most of the Bone Army will drop at least two pieces of equipment, and the total number of equipment dropped by more than 3,000 Bone Army is about 7,000.

If it was just a large number, it would be fine.

Among these 7,000 pieces of equipment, about 5,000 are second-level equipment, and the quality is generally white top-grade.

Even if this batch of equipment is not used in the territory, it can be packaged and sold on the market, enough to exchange for a huge sum of more than 100,000 or 200,000 magic crystals, or tens of thousands of third-level material essences required for building the territory.

War is indeed one of the fastest ways to make money!

If the territory can always be in a state of war.

Why worry about the lack of magic crystals and resources?

The development speed is awesome! !

Of course, the main reason why Hang Yu has this feeling is that the Scourge Army has tenfold drops and is immortal, which can not only obtain huge excess returns, but also nearly zero losses on its own side.

Then again.

The opponent this time is not weak.

The core main army of the Corpse Witch Territory has not been dispatched yet.

Hang Yu cannot underestimate the enemy and be careless.

The secret of the resurrection of the Scourge Legion cannot be hidden, and the other lord will definitely take corresponding measures.

However.

Correspondingly.

The protection period of the Corpse Witch Territory is about to end.

Hang Yu will end the situation where he can only respond passively.

He will be able to take more proactive and reverse invasion actions next.

The real contest.

The real war.

It has just begun!

The previous confrontation can only be regarded as a warm-up and test!

Although the number of Scourge troops in the territory is currently increasing at a rate of more than 1,100 per day, the strength of these newly added Scourge troops is still too weak and cannot be used in a short period of time.

Hang Yu then recruited another 230 clansmen.

These 230 soldiers will be trained to become a new batch of Canglong Guards. Together with the existing 270 Canglong Guards, they will form a force of 500 people.

Not many people.

But very reliable.

Hang Yu will give these 500 soldiers the best training resources.

The Canglong Guards will absorb most of the excess energy produced by the Scourge Army.

In addition, they will fully provide top equipment, high-quality skills, attribute medicines, and spirit training towers and other facilities.

This is enough to ensure that the overall strength of the Canglong Guards is always far ahead of the Scourge Army, thus becoming the mainstay of maintaining the stability of the territory.

Hang Yu completed the recruitment of 230 new Canglong Guards.

When starting to customize the improvement plan for this batch of Canglong Guards.

"Lord!" Zhang Zhongjing came to Hang Yu, "The chief alchemist in the main city, Bai Mu, sent a message that the task of refining a new batch of pills has been completed."

Hang Yu: "Huh? This is a little faster than expected!"

There are more than 2,000 pills in this batch.

Among them, there are more than 1,000 dragon blood pills.

Zhang Zhongjing stroked his long beard and said: "After the latest batch of alchemists in the territory joined the work, the ability to refine medicine has been greatly improved, but the supply and production of materials are a bit behind."

After the territory annexed the area, the number of the three major production buildings built +6, when the three major buildings are upgraded to the third level, 30 alchemists, 30 refiners, and 30 cooks can be added to the territory respectively.

With the current size of the territory.

There is no need for so many people for the time being.

That's why it is enough to recruit 15 people each in the first round.

Xiao Ba has been looking for candidates in the recruitment market during this period, and the current recruitment plan for this batch has been almost completed.

Although it is not fully recruited.

But it is enough to greatly increase the production capacity of the territory.

However, it will not lead to oversupply.

Not to mention that Hang Yu is working hard to build the territory to expand the market and increase the scale of the territory's foreign trade. With the addition of tens of thousands of new troops of the natural disaster and hundreds of thousands of Wancheng residents, there will be extremely huge demand in the future.

These productive forces can be fully digested by domestic demand.

The main problem now is that some materials are not keeping up.

As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if there are enough foreign trade markets and domestic demand, even if there are enough productive forces, it will not work without enough stable raw materials.

However.

You can't get fat in one bite.

You can only take it step by step.

Territory construction and development is a long process.

This batch of pills came at the right time.

Hang Yu immediately contacted Lord 3244.

Hang Yu: "Is the boss here? The pills you want are ready!"

It only took a few seconds.

The other party replied.

Lord 3244: "Are you ready so soon? Your territory's production capacity is quite strong!"

Hang Yu: "Aren't you working overtime to complete the transaction as soon as possible? When can we trade?"

Lord 3244: "We can trade directly now. The Scroll of Creation is already in my hands."

Hang Yu doubted whether the friend of the upper clan leader this guy mentioned actually existed, but it didn't matter. The key was to complete the transaction.

The two lords immediately traded.

Hang Yu paid 3244 900 pills, including 500 dragon pattern blood essence pills, and the market value of this pill was between 55,000 and 65,000 magic crystals depending on the fluctuation.

Lord 3244 was also satisfied with this.

Immediately fulfilled the agreement.

Get the Scroll of Creation.

Hang Yu felt refreshed. Although such a conditional resurrection item worth 60,000 magic crystals was not cheap, it was also at a reasonable price and not a large number for the current territory.

After Jia Xu repaired his body.

Not only will you get top talents.

You will also get the combat power of a first-class overlord.

Hang Yu can give him the task of dealing with the evil corpse demon.

Jia Xu's ability and strength are strong enough, and he is proficient in necromancy, so it is perfect for him to fight against the corpse witch lord.

With top talents like Jia Xu, plus two generals Zhou Cang and Wen Pin, it is enough to form a huge deterrent.

Hang Yu only needs to sit in the core hall of the main city and watch their performance from behind the scenes. Unless the situation develops to a critical moment, there is no need to go out in person.

Just relying on these subordinates is enough to give the opponent a good drink!

Hang Yu is quite looking forward to this.

Xiao Ba suddenly reminded: "Master, the fifth batch of players in this round has arrived. This time, 1,150 players have opened the login qualification. At present, 1,150 people have logged in, and the total number of new players who have logged in this round has reached 5,750!"

Hang Yu glanced at the time.

It is now 8 o'clock in the evening, Yanjing time.

This time every day is when new beta test players are given login qualifications.

The total number of new players in the past few days is much more than all the previous players combined, but the presence and popularity of these new recruits are not high at present.

The main reason is that their level is too low and their strength is too weak.

They can only move around the main city of Luoshui or the White Tiger City.

Although there are outstanding players who quickly rushed to level 5 among the players who landed on the first and second days, they are qualified to enter Woniu Mountain and even participated in the battle of the Scourge Army today.

But this is a minority after all.

It takes time for other Scourge Army recruits to grow up.

Even the very few recruits who participated in the Woniu Mountain battle are only cannon fodder and small transparent on the battlefield with their current strength. They basically joined in to make up the numbers, and naturally they will not leave any noteworthy topics.

Of course.

Although the Scourge Army recruits are still very young.

Hang Yu also attaches great importance to them.

Every leek has infinite potential. There are also many outstanding players among these players who have outstanding abilities, extraordinary wisdom, huge potential, and leadership charisma. In the future, they will shine in the Scourge Army's eastward and westward expeditions.

…

At this moment.

The barracks in the main city of Luoshui.

Inside a second-level barracks.

“Fuck! I’m in! I’m finally in!” A player with the ID “Scallion Spareribs” jumped up and down excitedly, “This touch, this smell, this taste, it’s so awesome!”

Scallion Spareribs was excited.

At least nine out of ten new players had this reaction.

Although they knew the awesomeness of this game before entering the game, no matter how much others boasted, it was better to come in and experience it for a few seconds.

After a lot of trouble.

Scallion Spareribs walked out of the barracks.

When Luoshui City appeared before his eyes.

Scallion Spareribs shed tears of emotion. Although he had seen photos of Luoshui City countless times, he was still shocked to be in this city in person, just like entering a fairy tale world he had longed for.

"Kneel down!"

"Ghost Three Kingdoms is awesome!"

"Congratulations to everyone for joining the game!"

"My great journey has begun! There must be a place for me in the Scourge Army!"

"..."

At this moment, many recruits wearing initial equipment walked out of the barracks. These were the pedestrians who had just joined the game. Everyone was excited and full of vision for the future at this moment.

"Brother Cong!"

"Brother Cong, where are you?"

Scallion-fried pork ribs suddenly heard a voice.

A player in a ranger outfit with the ID "I don't eat beef" was looking around.

"Here!"

Scallion-fried pork ribs waved his hand.

I don't eat beef and trotted over.

He looked at Scallion Spareribs up and down: "How to play a warlock? A real man should use a knife!"

Scallion Spareribs said: "What's wrong with a warlock? This game doesn't stipulate that warlocks can't learn martial arts. Can't I practice magic and martial arts at the same time?"

I don't eat beef: "Brother Cong, just be happy. I have made a strategy. First, go to the door to brush the snake-tailed pheasant, and then go to Hexi Village to hunt the skeleton bull."

Scallion Spareribs: "Don't worry!"

I don't eat beef looked puzzled: "Now there are new recruits everywhere, and the wild monsters near the main city are very tense. It's better to hurry up!"

Just then.

The surrounding new recruits cheered.

"Wow! Look, everyone! So many big guys!"

"They are from the Shenyu Palace Corps!"

"Is that Big Boss Xiao Lingdang? He is our warlock's idol!"

"I am so lucky. I just entered the game and I can actually meet Big Boss Xiao Lingdang!"

"I heard that they just came back from the battle in Woniu Mountain. The battle process was broadcast live on the forum. I didn't expect to see the real person here. I am so excited!"

"Without the big guys fighting against the aliens on the front line, how can we level up safely in the rear!"

"Hail to the big guys!"

"Hail to the big guys!"

"..."

A team of the Scourge Army with luxurious equipment and powerful aura appeared on the scene. The leader wore a gorgeous wizard robe and held a nine-bend spell staff. The whole body was shining with high-quality and high-level equipment.

It was the famous big guy Xiao Lingdang!

Her reputation is not as good as Ye Limeng and Hei Tong Ruige.

But she is undoubtedly the first-tier player in the game at present.

In the battle of Woniu Mountain that just happened today, Xiao Lingdang's performance was even more eye-catching, and now it has a high degree of discussion on the forum!

She was accompanied by the third-level Hua Mulan, Qingchen, and several level 20 big players.

Each of them is also a top powerhouse!

Such aura!

Such a face!

The recruits are envious!

At this time, Scallion-fried Spareribs shouted: "Lingling! Your cousin is here!"

Xiao Lingdang came to Scallion-fried Spareribs, "Cousin, I have prepared some equipment for you, enough for your early upgrade. Although you can find someone to help you upgrade, I suggest that you fight on your own."

"No problem!"

"A real man should fight on his own!"

Xiao Lingdang took out a bunch of equipment.

All of them were first-level white or even green equipment.

Several pieces of white equipment were even upgraded to level 9 or 10.

The scallion-fried pork ribs were none other than Zhao Cong, Xiao Lingdang Li Yuling's cousin. She also gave her cousin some help in the game according to her father's arrangement, but she would not absorb her cousin into her own army.

After delivering the equipment.

Xiao Lingdang left.

They had just finished a big battle.

At this moment, they were somewhat tired, and each returned to their own barracks to rest.

"Brother Cong!" I don't eat beef, my face is full of excitement: "Your cousin is Xiao Lingdang, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Scallion-fried pork ribs: "I thought you knew it a long time ago!"

I don't eat beef: "You must protect me in the future!"

Scallion-fried pork ribs: "Don't worry! Sure!"

"Brother Cong! Please protect me!"

"Brother Cong, can you form a group with me?"

"I want to hang out with Brother Cong, please take me with you!"

"..."

In a short while.

Countless newcomers asked for help from Scallion-fried pork ribs.

Scallion-fried pork ribs are also very happy. This is the effect he wants. First, he will use Xiao Lingdang's fame to circle a group of younger brothers. With his own financial resources and circle of contacts, it will be difficult not to develop in the future.

"Brothers, let's work together to train our levels first, and then fight for the territory!"

Scallion-fried pork ribs are full of pride: "There will be a place for us in the natural disaster army in the future!"

After a mobilization.

Scallion-fried pork ribs started the journey with the novice younger brother.

At this moment, more than 5,000 new recruits of the Scourge Army are rapidly distributed throughout Luoshui and Baihu Mountain.

They are growing rapidly with the help of veterans or the guidance of strategies, and are leveling up day and night. It won't be long before they will join the major corps of the Scourge Army, or a new corps of the Scourge Army will be born, continuously supplying fresh blood to the Scourge Army.

(PS: This chapter was completed earlier, and there is plenty of time tonight. I originally planned to update it, but I had to deal with an emergency, so I can only write part of it at night, and update it tomorrow at noon. I still have to work hard to save it.)
