"War is not a fun thing after all. In the coming troubled times, large numbers of people are destined to die. Starting from Fordler, we must all try to accept sacrifices. In fact, we can't do anything. The only thing we can do is
I just try my best to protect the people around me and let them live in this troubled world." Cheng Dalei looked into Li Waner's eyes.
Li Waner was silent. She was worthy of being the daughter of Emperor Ming. She had the blood of the royal family flowing through her body. She always took the world as her own responsibility. It was not easy to let her relax her mind.
"Will you send troops?" Li Waner asked.
"Won't."
Cheng Dalei shook his head firmly. This was what he had planned from the beginning. He would neither stand up to support the imperial court nor the Righteous Cult. Chang'an City has become a meat grinder, although everyone in the cottage wants to fight.
, but Cheng Dalei didn't want them to die.
Cheng Dalei saw that after hearing his words, the look in her eyes dimmed, and she finally left the room silently.
Cheng Dalei was helpless about this.
As a son of a man, Li Waner naturally does not want anything to happen to his father. However, as a son of a man, Lin Shaoyu does not want his father to lie dead on the street and be infamy for thousands of years. This is a confusing account that cannot be settled, and everyone just wants to
Be able to do things according to your own starting point.
Song Bokang once accused Li Xingzai of having only his own joys and sorrows, but not caring about other people's lives and deaths.
He didn't say this in front of Cheng Dalei. If he asked Cheng Dalei, Cheng Dalei would ask him back without hesitation: Who doesn't only care about his own joys and sorrows, and who cares about other people's lives and deaths?
People are inherently selfish.
Cheng Dalei would not send troops to Chang'an City, but he never gave up collecting news from Chang'an City. Because of the long distance between the two places, there was an average of seven days' time difference between the news reaching Qinchuan Pass.
Cheng Dalei was thinking about the subsequent changes in the Chang'an battle all the time. What he was thinking about was how to preserve the foundation of Qinchuan Pass.
As the war started, a steady stream of refugees poured into Qinchuan Pass, and the population of Qinchuan Pass increased by leaps and bounds. Until this day, Cheng Dalei was browsing the intelligence sent by his subordinates in the study. With a beep, Cheng Dalei suddenly
Get a system prompt.
Dude, congratulations on the completion of the upgrade. The fourth-level cottage has been upgraded to a primary city. Please name your city.
Cheng Dalei was startled. He never gave up the work of upgrading the village. As time passed, most of the buildings were completed. The only thing missing was the population.
As of today, the village has finally gathered the 100,000 people needed to upgrade.
"Please name your city?"
Cheng Dalei thought for a while and replied: "Toad City."
City: Primary Toad Village
City Lord: Cheng Dalei
Population: 100,000
City buildings: City Lord's Mansion, General Point Tower, Barracks, Craftsman's Workshop, Warehouse, Market, Military Policy Mansion, Horse Farm, Mine...
City skills: none
Huh!
Cheng Dalei opened his eyes wide. What about my copycat skills, my solid defense, unity, equestrian proficiency and other skills? What do you mean by giving me "none"?
Cheng Dalei checked it over and found that not only the skills of Qinchuan Pass were gone, but also the skills of Luoyu Village and Toad Village were changed to "None".
Cheng Dalei was so angry that he jumped on his feet and said: "Come out, come out..."
"A righteous boy..."
"I'm just like your mother." Cheng Dalei was so angry that he yelled: "Where did my copycat skills go? You can recruit them from the real thing."
"Please be careful with your wording. If you insult the spirit of the system, you will be punished."
Cheng Dalei was still angry, but considering that this system was not easy to mess with, it was better to calm down and think things over before talking about it.
"Those copycat skills were all collected by me through hard work. You should take them away from me like this, right?" Cheng Dalei's tone obviously softened.
"The copycat has been upgraded to a city. The development model is different. The original copycat skills are no longer applicable to the city."
"what is the difference?"
"Copycats make a living by looting"
"What about the city?"
"The development goal is to capture other people's cities"
"This is not the same." Cheng Dalei felt quite depressed: "As for the skills of Luoyu Village and Toad Village, you shouldn't cancel them for me, right?"
"Toad Village, Luoyu Village, and Qinchuan Pass together form the primary city Toad City, and their skills will naturally be taken away."
Cheng Dalei was speechless, but he had to admit that the three cottages combined only had a population of 100,000.
"But you don't have to worry. When you upgrade to a primary city, you will naturally be rewarded with exclusive city skills."
"Where is the reward? Why didn't I see it?"
"You called me out before I even had time to distribute the rewards."
"Uh..." Cheng Dalei was choked up: "What's the reward?"
"You can choose three of the original skills and inherit them to the new city."
Cheng Dalei thought for a moment and immediately had the answer. The blessings of the gods are necessary. This skill can open a special BUFF every three days. Rumors from the Jianghu are also needed. Cheng Dalei can quickly receive information about Chang'an City, which is Jianghu.
Rumors have played a role. There is one last item, Cheng Dalei chose Architectural Proficiency. Nowadays, Luoyu Village, Qinchuan Pass, and Toad Village are trinity, and Architectural Proficiency can play a role in any place.
Cheng Dalei quickly made a choice, and the new city inherited these three skills.
"Randomly reward city skill 1, obtain city skill: Weaponry and Speed"
The soldiers are extremely fast: the marching speed is increased by 30%.
After receiving this system prompt, Cheng Dalei felt better and finally gained something. This skill can increase the marching speed by 30%. On the ever-changing battlefield, this can even determine the outcome of a battlefield.
"What other rewards are there? Can you give them all together?" Cheng Dalei.
Du, you can upgrade the level of anyone below Peerless at will.
Du, the reward is ten battle flags, with the accompanying skill: Inspiration.
Dumb, reward formation 1: Plum Blossom Formation.
Hey, the last system prompt made Cheng Dalei let out a soft cry. Formation? Has the system enabled this function?
Formations were legendary in ancient battlefields. The most famous battle was when Prime Minister Zhuge used the Bagua Formation to trap 100,000 enemy troops.
Then, an introduction to the Plum Blossom Formation appeared in Cheng Dalei's mind. The Plum Blossom Formation is a group of ten people. They cooperate with each other during battle, both offensive and defensive. At the same time, a team of ten people can form a big plum blossom of a hundred people, and a hundred people can form a thousand people.
Team. Now Cheng Dalei is no longer the stupid young man he used to be. He is not ignorant about fighting.
With just a cursory glance, you can feel the power of this plum blossom formation.
Obtaining this Plum Blossom Formation somewhat calmed Cheng Dalei's mood. At least it is not useless to upgrade the village to a city. More importantly, if there is one, there will be a second one. It is not impossible for the Bagua Array to appear in the future.
