Chapter 167 I Have a City
"On the sixteenth day of the ninth month in the summer of the first year of the Chronicle of Disasters, I camped in an abandoned city without a name in the old site of the Great Wei. I saw a large star falling in the north, and a killer star shining in the northwest. I sighed and said: Great chaos is coming, why has it come to this?"
"I also saw the southwest direction, the soldiers gathered, the main killing, I sighed: This place is very dangerous, how can the people be so innocent?"
——
It was just daybreak and Zhang Yang was dozing off when two messages popped up in his mind. It turned out that the village chief was reading the two books "The Complete Book of Great Chu" and "A Record of the Territory of Great Chu" for him again.
"Why did you have to do this, sister?"
Zhang Yang complained, and then looked at the twenty mighty Zhang family heavy-armored demons standing in the cave behind him.
The fighting power of these heavily-armored demons is only one-third of the original ones, but they are much more powerful than the demons he created before, and their proficiency can be improved.
20 Heavy Armored Demons allowed him to raise his proficiency in the Magical Mystic: Heavy Armor skill to 120/200. "A new day, it's time to kill monsters and level up again."
Zhang Yang made fun of himself and was in a very good mood.
"Hmm, wait."
He suddenly stopped and thought about the two reading notes he had just read. He always felt that there was deep meaning in them.
Opening the large map in the village construction order, I first marked Zhongdu County on it, which was indeed in the northwest direction.
Then, Qianlong 009 should be the killer star?
Following this line of thought, Zhang Yang found three suspected counties in the north on the map, Yanshan County, Shanglin County, and Zhubei County, where a total of 326 latent dragons were wriggling.
However, the one who can be described as a big star is definitely not an ordinary hidden dragon, but must be the one bound by the village building order who has activated the state of war.
Finally, it was the southwest direction. Zhang Yang's eyes quickly swept across the map and locked onto an area at a glance, Linnan County, the southernmost county of the Wei Dynasty. It was surrounded by the sea on both sides, mountains on the west, and only the north was a flat road.
This area is mostly wild and desolate. Even during the heyday of the Wei Dynasty, there was not much power to manage it. There are only 9 hidden dragons in Linnan County. It can be said that this is the easiest territory to take over at present.
"So, the Hidden Dragons of the Abyss Demon Clan are going to use their troops here? This is indeed a good choice. At this moment, the Great Wei Dynasty has fallen, and the most central and richest Zhongdu County has fallen into the hands of the demon clan. Most of the Hidden Dragons of the Human Race and the Demon Clan have gathered in the four counties on both sides of the Tianliang Mountain Great Wall, forming a central battlefield with heavy troops. It is difficult to open up the situation here in a short period of time. After all, the defense of the Tianliang Mountain Great Wall has been tested by hundreds of years of war."
"And the three northern counties are equally difficult to capture, and there is even a high possibility that a single move could affect the entire region. Therefore, the Demon Clan's Hidden Dragon has opened up the southern battlefield. As long as Linnan County is captured, although it still cannot threaten the four counties in the central battlefield, it can open the gateway to Zhongdu County."
"For this strategic purpose, the focus of the Demon Tribe Qianlong's army must be tilted towards these three directions. First, defend the northern battlefield, second, maintain the confrontation in the central battlefield, and finally concentrate the main forces to open up Linnan County."
"This means that in the coming period of time, the six southeastern counties controlled by the demons will definitely be short of troops. This is a good opportunity to make a move."
Zhang Yang's eyes slowly swept across the map. Among the 1,000 competing potential dragons, the demon camp occupied 247 places. Excluding those that have been removed from the list, 142 are in the six southeastern counties and 13 are on islands.
Considering the demon dragon who led an army of 10,000 demons that we met a few days ago, this is most likely true.
"Then let's go here and act according to circumstances. We'll fight the local tyrants first." Zhang Yang made a quick decision. The situation was changing too fast, and all of a sudden he, the boss behind the scenes who should have the greatest advantage, no longer had an advantage.
Especially since the time limit for the foundation-building and job-changing task was 20 years, he suspected that there was something fishy going on. So he could not follow his original idea and first advance to the extraordinary level and then slowly develop to dominate the world.
He has to seize the opportunity, even if it's not perfect.
"But before that, I should open some treasure chests to replenish my assets."
Zhang Yang walked out of the cave, found a secluded and wide valley, took out the level 15 storage orb, and also took out two, no, three, golden fragments of hope.
This thing is very useful, comparable to a master key, and it is safe and has no toxic side effects.
"I will do my best to crack this storage orb."
Zhang Yang chanted a spell, and three golden flames burned up, wrapping the storage orb. In a blink of an eye, the storage orb expanded ten times, and then the golden flames went out, it was because the power of the three golden fragments of hope was exhausted.
"Huh? Not even three!"
Zhang Yang was very surprised, and immediately added two more golden fragments of hope. This time, the storage orb expanded a hundred times in one go, like a small mountain. One could even vaguely see the mountains of supplies piled up inside.
"Wait, weapons, armor, and food, I'm not going to win the lottery, am I?"
Zhang Yang's face finally turned ugly. He thought that the materials in the storage beads of Jindan-stage cultivators were all high-end, so he randomly found a valley to open it.
But if there were mountains of food, fodder and armor inside, he would not be able to take them away at all. His village building order space was still full, and it was thanks to the mission reward that he was able to handle the 10 million tons of food.
“Crack!”
Just as Zhang Yang was hesitating whether to continue opening it, the storage orb, which was already as thin as a cicada's wing, began to crack, followed by more cracks.
"No, please don't!"
Zhang Yang screamed and retreated, and at the same time ordered his demons to retreat. A few seconds later, an unimaginable huge wave of supplies, like a landslide and tsunami, filled the entire valley.
20 heavily-armored demons crushed him to death, and Zhang Yang survived because he ran fast.
"Can you give me the village building order to plunder it?"
Zhang Yang sat on the top of the mountain, distracted and with his eyes wide open. It was too horrifying. The valley was fifteen kilometers long and three kilometers wide, with the peaks on both sides more than a hundred meters high, yet the supplies and food had filled up the valley.
Fortunately, he had previously chosen the most desolate and remote areas, and the Abyss Demons had drawn heavy troops from the rear, otherwise, such a large batch of supplies would have been given away.
Of course, there was no response to the village construction order. It was only responsible for plundering, plundering the enemy's property, but was not interested in its own or ownerless properties.
"Okay, I give in. Let's start the King's Return Village Building Mission here."
After being speechless for a moment, Zhang Yang finally made a decision. He originally wanted to go 5,000 miles deeper into the heart of the demon clan and find an excellent abandoned city to start his career.
After finding a stone mountain with the highest altitude nearby, Zhang Yang took out the village construction order and placed it on the ground. In an instant, a yellow light vibrated up and covered an area of 100 kilometers.
"Are you sure you want to build a city here? Please pay 1 million energy points, or 10 units of mana, or a golden fragment of hope."
"Confirmed, pay 10 mana."
Zhang Yang had no choice.
"The city is being built. Your village building order level is being verified. Your village building order type is being verified. Your identity and combat record are being verified. Your war medal is being verified. Verification is complete."
"You can directly build/reconstruct a city. The city categories you can currently choose are: Level 1~3 Pass, Level 1~3 County Town, Level 1~3 State Capital, Level 1~3 County Town, Level 1 Royal Capital (view city building details and overview)."
"There are 6 levels of passes in total. They are military strategic units with extremely high defense and extremely weak livelihood. Levels 1 to 4 are ordinary passes, level 5 is a state-level pass, and level 6 is a world-level pass. If there is an opportunity, it can be upgraded to a legendary pass."
"County, there are 6 levels in total. It is a basic management unit of the dynasty with extremely weak defense and extremely high livelihood construction. A level 1 county can have 2 small towns, a level 2 county can have 4 small towns, and the highest level 6 county can have 12 small towns. It is the most important and core foundation of the dynasty."
"There are 6 levels in total. They are middle-level buildings in the dynasty with medium defense, medium livelihood construction, and highly prosperous commercial transportation and logistics. They have the ability to manage counties, coordinate products, trade, gather talents, and have certain defensive war capabilities. A level 1 state city can have 2 county cities, a level 2 state city can have 4 county cities, and the highest level 6 state city can have 12 county cities. It is the most important middle-level administrative management agency in the dynasty."
"County cities, a total of 6 levels, are classified as high defense, medium livelihood construction, highly prosperous commercial transportation and logistics, excellent cultural and ideological education, a large number of garrisons, and the ability to coordinate the military and civilians of a county, resist natural disasters, man-made disasters, and resist invasion. A level 1 county city can have one state city, a level 2 county city can have two state cities, and the highest level 6 county city can have six state cities. It is the most important high-level administrative management agency and military stronghold in the dynasty."
"The royal city has 6 levels in total. It has excellent defense, weak livelihood construction, highly prosperous commercial transportation and logistics, excellent cultural and ideological education, and a large number of garrisons. It is the core power center of a dynasty and the residence of the emperor. There is no management unit below the royal city. The higher the level of the royal city, the higher the growth potential of civil officials and military generals, and the higher the growth potential of the future heirs of the empire. At the same time, the security level is also higher. The highest level 6 royal city can deter all foreign races, and they cannot even step within a hundred miles of the royal city."
"Note 1: There is no order of precedence for the above building units. The key to their application lies in one's heart."
"Note 2: Due to your current village construction order level and authority, you can only build one city at a time. The construction of the second city requires 60% of the progress of the first city to be completed."
——
After examining the details of the building, Zhang Yang thought seriously for a second and decisively chose to build a level 3 county city. Well, he didn't need defense now because this was the rear base of the Abyss Demon Clan, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered or attacked for the time being.
Secondly, the reason why he wanted to build the city at a random location was because he had too many supplies. He was afraid that the next heavy rain or flood would break his heart! A level 3 county city had the largest food and material storage function, and a large amount of supplies would be consumed in the process of building a level 3 county city.
Furthermore, the level 3 county city itself has a very high defense, which can protect people’s livelihood and fight wars at the same time.
"You are building a level 3 county town. Due to the characteristics of the God's Village Construction Order (Remaining) and the Immortal Hero's Village Construction Order (Remaining) in your hands, you will get a level 15 and a level 22 special building. Please choose!"
"Level 15 mountain temple, special building."
"Level 15 City God Temple, a special building."
"Level 15 River Temple, special building."
"Level 22 Taoist temple, special building."
"Level 22 martial arts sect, Qingyun Sword School, special building (based on the first volume of Qingyun Sword Controlling Technique that you have mastered)."
"Level 22 martial arts sect, Zixia Sword School, special building (based on the first volume of Qingyun Sword Controlling Technique that you have mastered)."
——
"Huh? Martial arts? It feels like something incredible has been created. Could this be the sword-fighting battle in martial arts?"
Zhang Yang was very interested, but his current understanding of the Qingyun Sword Technique was not very deep. He didn't know whether it was due to the limitations of the world or his poor aptitude, so he had no way of telling.
"Then choose the level 15 City God Temple and the level 22 Qingyun Sword Sect."
