After the battle ended, the participating players returned home one after another.

Free players can either teleport or kill monsters to return to their base, which is convenient and fast.

Lord players are more troublesome. The participating troops can only rely on their nimble legs to return to the city, which is time-consuming and laborious. Zhulu leader's attacking troops come from two places. Yu Buzhi ordered Wang Ping and Gan Ning to separate the soldiers from Zhulu leader and Feiyu leader.

After bringing back the evidence, he hurriedly fought against monsters and returned to the city, then took the territorial inn to Mianzhu.

Roaring Halo, who returned to the city first, was waiting outside the inn, planning to go with him.

After working hard for so long, they finally looked forward to receiving the reward. The two of them were very active.

"You've done so many things, so you won't be able to collect rewards quickly!" Roaring Halo was a little impatient as he waited.

Yu Buzhi chuckled: "I'm not as lucky as you. I have to arrange those troops first. It's already fast enough. You should calm down. The reward of ranking eighth in the overall list is not worth being so excited."

Roaring Halo stopped and stared at Yu Wuzhi expressionlessly.

He suddenly had the urge to compete with this guy in real life.

At this stage, the level of free players is low and their combat effectiveness has not yet been formed. The lord's troops clearly have the upper hand. Not only are the individual soldiers of the lord's troops much better than the players, but the city-level territory also has an overwhelming advantage in military strength. The number of troops that can be dispatched in a city-level territory

, enough to surpass the top player army.

Compared with lord players, the biggest advantage of free players is "not afraid of death".

After being killed in battle, you can resurrect and come back again. Apart from wasting some time, there is almost no extra cost. This is something that the lord's army can never compare with. When the lord's army is damaged and re-recruited, it will cost people, funds, soldiers and armor, etc. The newly recruited sergeants

It still takes a period of training to meet the basic combat requirements, which is far less convenient than resurrecting the player.

When the gap in combat effectiveness between the two is so large that it is difficult to make up for it through resurrection, the decline of free players is very obvious.

In the first stage of the campaign against Dong Zhuo, player legions generally performed poorly.

In the middle and early stages of the campaign, it is difficult to see the name of the legion at the top of the merit list.

The top ranks of the merit list are almost all lord players, and the imbalance is even more serious than the Yellow Turban War. When the first national battle broke out, the level of legion players was lower than it is now, and the gap in individual combat effectiveness was even greater. However, at that time, most of the player territories participating in the war were

The largest number of troops in the first and second-level towns, the most powerful second-level towns at that time, was 500 people, which was not the same as the size of the lord's army in the campaign against Dong Zhuo.

In the future, territory upgrades will become slower and slower and more difficult, but players' combat effectiveness will gradually take shape.

To be fair, now is the time when the strength gap between the lord and the legion is the largest.

The huge gap in strength made it difficult for the player army to perform well in the battle against Dong Zhuo.

In the first stage of the campaign, after everyone's basic merit points are deprived, the main way for free players to obtain merit is not to kill enemies, but to accept various tasks. Take advantage of the number of legions to accept various large and small camp tasks. By doing

Harvest meritorious deeds in the form of tasks, accumulate a little to make a lot, and gather sand to form a tower.

After the battle enters the second stage, the player's army has an opportunity to turn around.

In the second stage, the legion can recruit heavy infantry!

Hundreds of heavily armored infantry have the ability to score points in frontal combat. Legion players still maintain the traditional advantage of accepting a large number of missions. The methods for obtaining merit points have increased, and the efficiency of scoring points has also been greatly improved.

Whether you can seize the opportunity to make a comeback depends not only on your will.

First, you have to pass the cruel knockout mechanism and successfully enter the second stage.

Secondly, you must have strong financial resources. Heavy infantry is indeed useful, but it is not cheap.

In the first stage of the campaign, the merit list of the World Legion did not show the thickness of the super large group at all. There was a time when people all over the world complained that jointly opening the so-called "emergency help center" with the Zhulu leader was not doing their job properly. Many people

There are too few business battles, or most of the heads are taken by the Zhulu Army first, and the legion's combat merits are very limited, resulting in a poor ranking of the legion.

After the second phase began, everyone around the world understood how important it was to jointly set up a help center.

Joining forces to set up a help center allows the legion to earn more funds, providing a solid economic foundation for recruiting heavy infantry in the second phase. The legion's heavy infantry cooperates with the Zhulu Army, in addition to normal combat income, there are also legion technical kills

Dividends, the most important thing is that the battle loss rate is relatively low, and the legion's merit value increases rapidly.

After lagging far behind in the early stage, Roaring Halo and others did not initially have extravagant hopes that the Legion could break into the top ten in the overall rankings.

But as the campaign progresses, this goal becomes more and more realistic.

In addition to the enhanced scoring ability of the legion itself, it is also an important reason why competitors have stopped moving forward.

In the first stage of the knockout system, most of the participating player forces were kicked out of the battle. Players who were eliminated earlier were still on the list, but their merit points no longer increased. Therefore, many of the seemingly huge leading groups became

"Zombie", as long as it scores enough points, it won't be too difficult to catch up.

In this way, the world's legions kept catching up and their rankings continued to rise.

Ranking eighth on the overall list is already the best ranking achieved by the player legion in this campaign.

There are two player legions in the top ten of the overall list, and the other legion that entered the "Top Ten" list is naturally Aiao. Aiao's strength is not inferior to that of Tianxia, ​​but they did not join forces with Zhulu Leader in the first stage, and fell even further behind.

From Roaring Halo's point of view, the legion's achievement is definitely a glorious feat that is worth singing and crying. It is an inspirational example of perseverance and is worthy of being talked about by all legion members for a long time. If it is said in a nonchalant tone, it is disrespectful no matter how you look at it.

rhythm.

However, this guy is number one on the overall list, and he seems to be qualified to say such things...

Tianxia's miraculous breakthrough into the top ten is inseparable from the close cooperation of Zhulu Ling...

Brother Ren!

Roaring Halo said nothing, turned his face back expressionlessly, and continued walking forward.

Mianzhu City.

The rewards for the campaign against Dong Zhuo are slightly different from those for the Yellow Turban Campaign. No matter which camp is selected for the battle, the rewards for this battle will be distributed at the Prefectural Mufu. Dong Zhuo lived in a corner after abandoning Luoyang, and the princes of Guandong were not under their own control. There is no way to compare with the Yellow Turban Campaign.

In that way, they will be distributed by the forces that can represent their respective camps.

Outside the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, there were a lot of players coming to collect campaign rewards.

The NPC officials responsible for distributing rewards have become the most popular people in the game.

Yu Buzhi reminded again: "Remember to leave enough space in your luggage."

Roaring Halo looked serious: "Don't worry, all my belongings have been stored in the warehouse, I didn't bring anything with me."

Receive the reward package and open it at will.

"In recognition of Zhulu Ling's outstanding contribution in the battle against Dong Zhuo, the rewards are as follows: Zhulu Ling is awarded 1 million gold; a high-level building upgrade blueprint; a high-level talent upgrade blueprint; you can choose to establish friendship with a historical figure in this camp

; 3 chances to win the Lucky Roulette.”

Yu Buzhi's eyes lit up: "Huh?"

The content of this reward is roughly the same as the gift package he received last time.

Advanced building upgrade blueprints, advanced talent upgrade blueprints, and three lucky roulette lottery chances are all the same as the rewards in the Yellow Turban Uprising campaign. After all, Zhululing ranked first in the overall rankings in both national campaigns, so the content of the basic rewards is quite reasonable.

among.

But the battles obtained this time are somewhat different from those in the past.

The bonuses are even more generous.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, the bonus for the first place on the overall list was 500,000 gold, which increased to 1 million gold this time. Yu Buzhi initially thought that maybe it was because of the different game processes. When the first national battle broke out, the player's territory

Having just entered the township stage, when this campaign started, many territories had already entered the city level. With different stages and different scales, it is not surprising that the bonuses are higher.

But he soon realized that this might not be the case.

The bonus increased because of another reason: official position.

After the Yellow Turban Battle, Yu Buzhi was conferred the rank of sixth-grade Brave Guard. This is the highest rank that players can obtain from the campaign. He once again ranked first in the overall rankings. It is impossible for Futu to upgrade Yu Buzhi's position.

, so some extra bonuses were given as compensation.

There is no official position reward, which is the second difference.

The last difference: "You can choose to establish friendship with a historical figure in your camp!"

This is what surprised Yu Buzhi the most. There was no official news about this in the battle against Dong Zhuo, and there was no relevant information in the memory of the past life. But it is obvious that this is a hidden reward, and the hidden reward is extremely valuable.

This is especially true for lord players, and Yu Buzhi is overjoyed.

"You can choose to be with a certain historical figure in your camp", which of course should include the princes!

Building a territory is a matter of time and effort.

After reaching a certain scale, it will take hard work to take another step forward. If you can establish friendship with a certain historical figure or even an NPC prince, and encounter some difficulties that are difficult to overcome on your own during the development of the territory, perhaps overcoming them will become relatively easy.

Easier.

The Zhulu leader joined the camp of princes.

In other words, Yu Buzhi can choose one of the Guandong princes to formally establish friendship and contact.

After opening the gift bag and seeing the list of rewards, he quickly received another system prompt.

"Since Zhulu Ling ranks first in the princes camp in the Merit List, he will get the first choice of the princes camp. You have up to 24 hours to consider which prince camp NPC to become friends with. In order to avoid affecting other players' choices in order, please hurry up.

.If you are unable to make a choice for some reason within 24 hours after opening the gift package, the system will randomly designate a historical figure for you among the eligible targets."

It is not difficult to see that after this battle, there will be opportunities to establish friendships with historical figures.

In both camps, many of the top participating forces have a chance, but I don’t know how many there are in total.

The so-called "randomly designate one after 24 hours" is clearly a patch plan proposed to prevent players who have obtained the hidden reward from delaying for a long time or failing to make a decision in time for some reason (such as being unable to enter the game for some reason).
To be continued...
