"Sister, isn't this Chang'an Village too arrogant? You even proposed to compete with us in archery."
While the city guard brigade was fighting a fierce battle with the orc army, the letter of war written by Mr. Wu had also been entrusted to the dwarves and sent to the elven tribe.
As expected, it caused an uproar.
"That's very arrogant!"
As shrewd as Mia is, she is also extremely angry. Archery can be said to be the greatest pride of the elves.
Who wants to challenge this.
That undoubtedly hit the elf's most sensitive nerve.
"Sister, Chang'an Village has declared a challenge, we can't back down. How about I take a few tribesmen to Chang'an Village to suppress the arrogance of the other side?" Ace was eager to give it a try.
First, I was really angry, but also wanted to take the opportunity to go out.
"I've never heard of a magic archer in Chang'an Village."
Mia was as calm as ever. She wondered if this was a trick from Chang'an Village.
Lure her there on purpose?
"Shouldn't it be right?" Ace had a different opinion, "Sister, you said before that the Lord of Chang'an is a wealthy man, so he shouldn't set up such a trap and break it with just one poke."
"That's right."
Mia nodded in approval. Maybe there really was a sharp archer hiding in Chang'an Village, but she just didn't find out.
"Then, sister, do you agree for us to go?" Ace's eyes lit up.
"This requires the clan leader's approval."
Just as Mia was hesitating, an elf hurried over and said, "I just received the news that five thousand orcs have gathered in Black Wind Village to go down the mountain, and their destination should be Chang'an Village."
"Is there a war?"
Mia and her brother looked at each other and did not continue the topic with a tacit understanding.
Be prepared to wait and see before talking.
"Sister, do you think Chang'an Village can be defended?" Ace asked with concern.
"It's hard to say."
Regarding the military strength of Chang'an Village, Mia only had a glimpse of it.
In the afternoon, another elf came to report: "I just received news that the base of Black Wind Village has been wiped out by the human army. It should be from Chang'an Village."
"..."
Mia and her brother were silent again.
Especially Mia, her previous most optimistic prediction was that Chang'an Village would be successfully defended.
No idea.
He actually defeated the orc army directly?
If Blackwind Village hadn't been so badly defeated, it would have been impossible to say that even the old nest would not have been saved.
"Get ready and come with me to Chang'an Village tomorrow." Mia made a decision immediately.
"Okay!"
Seeing Chang'an Village's victory, Ace became even more curious about Chang'an Village.
………
This great victory in Chang'an shocked not only the elven tribe.
And the lords of Zunlong Kingdom.
"I'm a good boy. I knew Chang'an Village was very fierce, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce."
"Five thousand orcs were wiped out as soon as they were told. Are we playing the same game as Boss Tang? Why do we feel like we are not in the same plane at all?"
"Chang'an Village has stayed in the third-level village for a long time, and I thought it was withered, but it turns out..."
Due to the delay in building auxiliary villages, Chang'an Village is no longer unique in terms of territory level. The top ten existences such as Suiye Village have basically entered the third-level village sequence.
They are also heading towards first-level towns.
Some people even started betting that Suiye Village would be the first town in the world to be promoted to the first level.
The reason is also very simple——
Suiye Village does not need to build auxiliary villages at all. The surrounding village-level territories can be directly attached to it.
No one would be stupid enough to say that they would go head-to-head with Pei Ye.
Rather than being annihilated when the time comes, it is better to take the initiative to surrender and keep a position as a village leader.
Doesn't it smell good?
"The moment you become a neighbor of Broken Leaf Village, your fate is determined." The lords said.
Delayed until now.
That's just because there haven't been two village-level territories in the surrounding area.
You still have to wait a day or two.
"Stop saying anything, quickly add Mr. Tang as a friend and wait for the draw in the circle of friends. This time Chang'an Village wins, there will definitely be a large number of crystal cores on the market."
"Yes, yes, this is the right thing to do."
To this day, the lords in the first echelon have all entered the village-level territory, and those in the second echelon are still in the third-level shelters. Those in the second-level shelters are all backward elements.
"If you don't advance, you won't be eligible to be annexed in the future..."
In the era of national lords, competition is so fierce, and lords are eliminated every moment.
It is not possible to survive just by trying to survive.
On the contrary, the lords who complained from the beginning that they were in special geographical locations such as dense forests, islands, and underground might be able to survive if they were lucky enough to persevere.
It can be seen that whether you are lucky or not must be viewed dialectically.
Just like Tang Jing, accidentally arriving in another country is naturally the greatest misfortune. But if you seize the opportunity and snowball the advantages gained in the early stage, it will be a new situation.
The key still depends on the individual.
………
The lords guessed correctly and solved the talent crisis. Tang Jing immediately started the lottery in the circle of friends.
Still the old rules.
1224 level 1 crystal cores, all of which can be used to exchange for basic craftsmen such as blacksmiths, carpenters, tailors, etc., or to exchange for special talents.
As the number of secondary shelter lords decreases, Tang Jing also needs to adjust his winning probability in a timely manner.
Otherwise, we may not be able to get so many people to participate in the lottery.
As for the level 2 crystal core, it can still be used whether it is used to promote to a first-level village or a second-level village. It is still a very strong presence in the circle of lords.
But it is no longer possible to "draw one out of a hundred", but has dropped to "one out of eighty".
It will continue to decline after that.
The 425 level 2 crystal cores directly brought 34,000 new people to the territory. Together with the more than 3,400 craftsmen exchanged for the level 1 crystal cores, the total population increased by more than 37,400.
The population of the territory exceeded 60,000 in one fell swoop, more than doubling.
It should be said.
The increase in this population is the biggest benefit of this war.
As for the level 3 crystal core, it is still in the "price but no market" stage.
Considering that many territories in Zunlong Kingdom have been promoted to second-level villages, including those top-notch territories, when they were in urgent need of level 3 crystal cores, Tang Jing still took out 5 level 3 crystal cores and put them on the market.
Bidding.
Let's see if we can cut another wave of leeks.
Trading materials are limited to two categories: food and refugees.
In addition to putting up for auction the level 3 crystal cores for the first time, Tang Jing also put up a large number of weapons and armors captured this time for auction in the market according to the resource package model of "ten weapons + ten pieces of armor".
The City Guard Brigade currently does not lack weapons and armor. Even if it does, it still needs to be issued with standard equipment.
Rather than capturing all kinds of things.
According to the previous disposal method, the final fate of these weapons and armors was to be dismantled in the weapons workshop and re-smelted into pig iron.
It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that it’s too wasteful.
After the smelting kiln was built and put into operation, Suiye Village also provided iron ore according to the contract. The territory is currently not short of this pig iron.
Quite the opposite.
At this stage, even the lords in the first echelon are extremely short of weapons and armor.
Even though the weapons captured in Chang'an Village were all kinds of weapons, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, even maces, etc., even the armors did not fit.
That’s better than nothing, right?
The key point is that Tang Jing is very considerate and does not limit the types of traded goods, whether it is refugees, gold coins, grain, war horses, leather, berries, including rare props and so on.
As long as Tang Jing thinks it's appropriate, that's fine.
As soon as the news came out.
As expected, another round of bidding craze started in the lord circle of Zunlong Kingdom.
"Love it, love it!"
"It's better that Mr. Tang understands us and sells whatever we need!"
"Still free to chat? Hurry up and bid!"
If Tang Jing’s previous lottery draws in Moments were about luck, then the bidding in the market was purely a display of the strength of all parties.
The most active bidders are the lords in the first echelon.
Of course, the lords of the second echelon are not to be outdone. Once they capture a resource pack, it will be enough to arm their soldiers and venture out to clear the wild camps.
Those top lords are even busier. They have to keep an eye on the bidding for level 3 crystal cores, hoping to be the first to be promoted to level 3 villages and beat the other top lords.
At the same time, I am not willing to miss out on the bidding for equipment resource packs.
After entering the village stage, the top players no longer fight alone. The territory has gathered "advisors" such as agents, studio heads, and even company executives and investors.
These stakeholders all want to use their top influence to carve out a niche in the wilderness.
"Stop hiding it. If you have any good things, bring them out to me."
As the initiator of this auction, Tang Jing also had his own little plan. He just realized that the current mainstream lords are hungry for weapons and equipment and took the opportunity to make a profit.
After a while, the blacksmith shops in the first echelon territory will be operational.
It will be difficult to think about shedding wool again.
Especially the tattered equipment used by orcs like this needs to be cleared out as soon as possible.
What a huge profit.
Thanks to "Squirrel 006", "Jiying Fox", and "Xi Mohua, it's easy for the cold flowers to bloom and listen to the rain fall" for their reward support, thank you!
