"Persuade to surrender?"

"Yes, my lord. The enemy's morale is now in chaos. Persuading them to surrender is the best strategy. This way, our army can also reduce casualties." Yue Fei explained.

"Well, General Yue is right. Then it's up to you to persuade them to surrender."

"I obey your command." Yue Fei accepted the order.

Immediately, Yue Fei rode his horse to the front of the formation, raised his spear and shouted loudly.

"Listen up, Black Wind City defenders! Your leader has surrendered. If you refuse, you will be killed without mercy!"

When the defenders heard Yue Fei's shout, there was a commotion.

"Can you promise not to kill us?"

Someone shouted cautiously.

"I can promise not to kill you." Yue Fei said in a deep voice.

"We surrender!"

"We surrender!"

......

Soon, all the defenders of Black Wind City surrendered.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ping led his army into Black Wind City.

The moment he entered the city, the system voice sounded in Lu Ping's ears.

"Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the hidden mission and conquering Black Wind City."

"Ding, congratulations to the player for receiving mission rewards, experience points, various resources, and reputation."

"Ding, congratulations to the player for winning the special reward, the teleportation array building blueprint."

"Ding, congratulations to the player for obtaining Light Cavalry 300."

"Friendly reminder, players can pay corresponding resources to bring captured soldiers into their ranks."

When Lu Ping heard the system prompt, his heart skipped a beat.

Lu Ping's heart was of course beating for the captive.

Lu Ping didn't expect that the captives could actually belong to him.

In this battle, Lu Ping captured more than 4,000 people, which is not a small number.

Even a fifth-level lord probably doesn't have so many troops.

But Lu Ping was not carried away by the excitement. The system had just made it clear that if one wanted to keep Lu Ping as a prisoner, he would have to pay corresponding resources.

"I can provide resources, but you have to give me a number. How much do you need?" Lu Ping asked after thinking for a while.

"Each prisoner requires payment of 50 grain, 10 wood, and 3 iron ore."

"The host has captured 4,351 soldiers, and needs food, wood, and iron ore."

"What? You're robbing? They're just a bunch of captives. Why do you need to spend so many resources?"

When Lu Ping heard this number, he was almost scared.

"This is the system setting and cannot be changed."

"Reminder host, the resources required to convert prisoners are only half of the normal recruitment costs." The system replied.

"Fuck, you're really calculating."

“But even if I wanted to, where would I find so many resources now?”

Lu Ping complained.

Lu Ping really wanted to keep these prisoners. What the system said was right. The recruitment fee was indeed only half of the normal one, but unfortunately Lu Ping did not have that much resources at the moment.

"You have three days of grace. If you exceed the time limit, it will be considered as giving up."

"Okay, I'll keep all these prisoners." After thinking about it, Lu Ping gritted his teeth and agreed.

"But what should we do with these prisoners now?" Lu Ping asked.

"The prisoners can be temporarily handed over to you, but they cannot be used until the resources are paid."

"Okay, it's settled!" Lu Ping agreed.

............

Two hours later, Lu Ping led his troops back to the city.

Lu Ping reaped a great harvest in this battle. Not only did he obtain a considerable amount of resource rewards, but he also gained a lot of experience and reputation rewards. In addition, he also obtained three hundred light cavalry and a teleportation array blueprint.

Light cavalry is certainly good, as it can both fight and conduct reconnaissance.

Including these 300 light cavalry, Lu Ping already has more than 400 light cavalry, which is also a considerable combat force.

Not to mention the teleportation array, which is a special building.

As the name suggests, it is used to transmit to each other.

But these are just small surprises, the more than 4,000 prisoners are the real surprise.

This group of surrendered soldiers is of great significance to Lu Ping. With this group of surrendered soldiers, Lu Ping will not be afraid even when facing a level five lord.

After returning to the city, Lu Ping handed the captives over to Yue Fei and others, and then returned to the city lord's mansion.

Lu Ping had to quickly find a way to raise food and get all the surrendered soldiers.

Lu Ping had nearly 30,000 grains left before, and he received 150,000 as a reward for this mission. After calculating the two, he was less than 30,000 left.

In three days, Lu Ping's territory can produce 21,000, which means the shortfall is less than 8,000.

Lu Ping plans to use this eight thousand to take action against the bandits.

There are still a large number of bandits in the territory. Lu Ping plans to send all his generals to suppress the bandits. He thinks he can get enough of them.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping felt at ease.

Then, Lu Ping clicked on the teleportation array diagram.

Teleportation array, special building.

Quality: Gold

Resources needed for construction: food, wood, stone, iron ore

Function: Teleport.

Description: Consume 100 reputation points to teleport 1 person to the specified location.

Tip: The destination must have a corresponding teleportation array.

Tip: The minimum cost of teleportation is 1000 reputation points per time.

"Haha, with this teleportation array, things will be much more convenient in the future."

After reading the introduction to the teleportation array, Lu Ping was extremely excited.

Although the transmission cost is not cheap, its strategic value is immeasurable.

It’s a pity that the teleportation array cannot be built yet because Lu Ping does not have enough resources.

After the town reaches level four, a large number of buildings are waiting to be upgraded. Lu Ping has not even upgraded the city walls and the lord's altar yet.

"Forget it, let's accumulate it slowly!" Lu Ping sighed.

Resource scarcity is a problem faced by every lord, not just Lu Ping.

In short, everyone is the same.

Next, Lu Ping looked at his own attributes.

After completing the hidden mission, Lu Ping leveled up two more levels, reaching level 33.
