It’s this Chen Zhui again! This is the second city gate mission!" In Yangdi City, Xia Feng’s face looked ugly and his bones were pinched to the point of whiteness.

"Zhenbei Pass is twice as big as Pingyang Pass, and the population is more than Pingyang Pass. The task is also difficult to reach level 17. Unexpectedly, he completed it so quickly."

"Brother Xia, the situation is not good." Meng Cheng, who was standing by, also frowned. "Zhenbei Pass and Pingyang Pass are bridgeheads to expand their power to the three prefectures around Shangqiu City. Once he integrates the forces in Shangqiu City, he will inevitably raise his minions to the three prefectures around him in the next time."

"Shangqiu City is the first royal city, and there are the largest number of adventurers. Now, Chen Zhui has already walked far ahead of us. If he does not curb his development, he will probably compete with him as soon as he reaches the back."

"Stop, how to stop?" Luo Shubai, who was standing beside him, said angrily. "Now there are the most adventurers on his side, and the number of real literati tribes controlled by the largest number. Any adventurer entering Shangqiu City, even if he is unwilling, must succumb to his tyranny."

"This is the killing of the sky! He replaced all the twelve gate guards of Shangqiu City with his own people. It is now extremely difficult for us to inquire about the news. The people sent by us can't get to the high position at all. All we know are trivial matters!"

Xia Feng's face was gloomy. Indeed, this move was too ruthless.

At first, Chen Zhui was still very gentle when recruiting adventurers, but later on, he gradually became tougher and tougher.

The position of city defense must be a master of the best. Shen Zhui, who can do such a ruthless move, can do such a ruthless move, but they can't do it at all.

Why? Because there are not enough official titles! Xia Feng, who has the highest official titles, is the 13th-level junior high doctor.

The official title is high, the more people you recruit, the stronger the control power, the easier it is to do tasks, the richer the rewards, and thus the official title is improved... This is like a snowball!

Originally, the Liang Palace was the largest among the many snowball forces in this secret realm! Now, it is not even considered third, because there are two 14-level Zuo Geng in Yangdi City, competing with him for the city barriers outside Yangdi City.

"Then you can't watch him continue to grow bigger." Xia Feng gritted his teeth. "Uncle San has gone to Luncheng to contact the people from Shuiling Palace and Tiance Mansion. Meng Cheng, you go to the city of Zhenqing and contact the four titty masters in the Academy Alliance one by one."

"It is necessary to lobby them to unite against the thief Shen Zhui."

"Brother Xia, as far as I know, Chen Zhui also sent someone to Zhenxuan City to lobby."

"Then destroy his plan! At least, don't let the people in the academy turn to the chasing!"

"When you go, tell them that the master who was chasing was Lu Yuanwei." Xia Feng said coldly.

"Lu Yuanwei?" Meng Cheng was slightly stunned, wondering why Xia Feng suddenly mentioned a strange name.

"You don't have to worry about it. This is a past event. People in this generation know very little."

"Yes." Meng Cheng nodded quickly and left the hall.

"Shu Bai." Xia Feng said coldly again. "When my third uncle comes back, you go to Pingyang Pass with him."

"Go to Pingyang Pass?" Luo Shubai was also stunned.

"Yes, you invite Chen Zhui out of the city to meet and pretend to defect."

"He is now full of complacent intentions and may be fooled. Then you will bring the best magic weapon I have given you and join forces with my third uncle to kill him."

"If it can be accomplished, then this disaster will naturally no longer exist, so the problem will be solved. Without Shen Zhu, everyone will return to the same point."

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. In short,... he can't develop so comfortably."

"yes."

…………

Luncheng.

The fifteenth level young master is the founding house.

A man in white was reading an ancient book in the Shao Mansion. The man was very handsome, with the light in his eyes as if there was time and space disillusionment, emitting a shocking momentum.

"Interestingly, so many people were actually led by Chen Zhui, who was born in a border soldier."

"General Shenwei is chasing? No wonder..."

Just as the young man in white muttered to himself, suddenly, a soldier hurried over outside the door.

"Your Highness, Master Hai is asking for a visit."

"Oh?" The young man in white was slightly surprised. "Please come in."

"Yes." The soldier quickly ran out again.

After a while, a strong man covered in armor walked into the main hall.

"Haiqing, if you don't go to Wan Yaoze, why are you here?" the young man in white asked with a smile.

"I can't sit still." Hai Qing groaned, as if he was very familiar with the young man in white, and sat on the chair.

"Longqi, you heard it just now."

"What did you hear?" Long Qi chuckled.

"Don't pretend!" Hai Qing said anxiously. "This sinking tied Zhenbei Pass. It won't take long to scatter the city walls in the south and complete the third main city mission."

"When he is promoted to Siche, he will be only one step away from the Grand Chief who is in charge of national defense and military affairs."

"According to the nature of this ghost secret realm, once someone reaches the level 17 of the Siche Chief, I am sure that the Great Chief Qin Shan either retires and returns to his hometown or dies suddenly for no reason, so as to give way to the adventurer."

"He became the chief of the Great Sect, so the other adventurers could only stare at me!"

"Even if he lies still, he will steadily get the top five rewards for the final military merit settlement of the Two Realms Mountains."

"What's the hurry?" Long Qie said slowly. "The battle between the two worlds is just a guess, and rewards based on the theory of military merits and titles are just a saying. No one knows whether this is true. The Daxia Academy has not yet announced it."

"Can I not be in a hurry?" Haiqing murmured. "My ancestor spent a lot of money to calculate these news. He gave the order to die and could not get the rewards from the top five, so I would be miserable."

"This Chen Zhuan will definitely expand to Zhenxuan City when he is next. I don't want to be his younger brother. If he wants to return to Kyoto, he will be laughed to death."

"Then do you want to be my younger brother?" Long Qi said with a smile.

"I..." Hai Qing was speechless and said angrily: "Brothers, there is no need to say anything, me, I'm not a little brother... cooperate, cooperate!"

The dragon smiled without saying a word.

"If you don't care about me, then I'll go find Ji and Wei families." Hai Qing said.

"You try!" Long Qi glanced at him. "You will blow your third leg and you won't be able to recover."

Seeing that Hai Qing didn't say anything, Long Qi said lightly: "Go back and transfer your five hundred imperial guards over, and transfer everyone under your command out of Zhenxuan East City tomorrow."

"Haha, obey the order!" Haiqing immediately left with a laugh.

…………

Zhenbeiguan, the government office.

"Sir, my subordinates have just finished counting, and a total of 5,326 adventurers have participated in the Zhenbei Pass mission."

"There are 3,200 people who have advanced to the official title, and 30% of them have jumped to the second level. There are only 23 people who have jumped to the third level official title. They are all chosen by the adults and there is no accident."

"One hundred and twenty-nine people were injured and fifty-seven were dead."

"According to the contract, their relics and things will be kept by the adults and will be returned to their designated persons after leaving the secret realm."

Chen Zhui nodded after listening to Biying's report.

The difficulty of the city mission at level 17 is not unusual, and the adventurer has been killed or injured by more than a hundred times, which is enough to prove it.

However, no one has anything to say about this. Where can we not die when taking risks? When we decided to enter the secret realm, we were all mentally prepared.

What Chen Zhui could do was to promise to return home to those who had signed the contract.

"In other words, there are still 40% of people who have had an accident during the execution of the task?"

"This is impossible, sir." Biying sighed. "The Daxia Academy cannot let you truly control the overall situation. An accident or test in the mission can't help people completely avoid it."

Chen Zhui nodded.

More than 5,000 adventurers participated in the level 17 Zhenbei Pass mission, but only more than 3,000 people benefited from this advanced mission and obtained official title promotion.

He restructured the military system with adventurers as the auxiliary and the real literati as the main genius.

At key nodes, we all arranged our own people, just to use this to eliminate the "accidents" that occurred in the task.

Ten scholars and officials in a thousand-man army are adventurers, and fifty adventurers in a thousand-man army, the results brought about after performing the mission are completely different.

Chen Zhui wanted to raise his own status and surpass the number of high-ranking officials among the real literati tribe. The only shortcut is to share the mission of Zhenbei Pass.

When he will command 100,000, millions, or even tens of millions of legions in the future, he will not be the middle and high-level decision makers below, and will be rigid and uncertain, true literati.

However, accidents inevitably occur, and there are many reasons. Some are the sudden increase in the number of targets when destroying monsters, some are the strength of the monster leader, which has greatly increased, resulting in a defeat. Some seemingly nothing unexpected happens, and they even accidentally fall to death!

The fundamental reason is that the tests of adventurers when performing missions cannot be completely eliminated by external forces. This is the consistent rule of the entire secret realm level.

"But it still works." Chen Zhui said. "At least 40% should be far from the bottom line."

"Sir, wise." Biying smiled.

"It is not advisable to use adventurers and real literati to complete meritorious tasks."

"As long as we keep trying and adjusting the proportion of power that adventurers hold during combat, we will always be able to achieve the most advantageous approach."

"Let's not talk about the mission yet, have people sent back to the other three royal cities and twelve palace cities?" Chen Zhui changed the subject.

"A dozen people came back one after another, but..." Biying hesitated a little.

"If you have something, just say it. I can't downgrade your level now, what are you afraid of?" Chen Zhui joked. Now Biying is a thirteenth level mid-range. Chen Zhui really has no right to get rid of his official title. This is the protection given to every adventurer by the Daxia Academy.

"The effect is very small." Biying shook his head. "The people who can be recruited in the early stage have already been recruited, and the rest are just talking about cooperation and alliances."

"Even, there are even people who scold adults for being whimsical..."

"Haha, this is normal." Chen Zhui smiled. "It all came in with money, and it was not like Shangqiu City. It was within the scope of the deterrence of the great good official title."
