Chapter 99: Veteran on the Battlefield (extra update for book friend Qingchun Shuusui)
At this moment, Zhang Yang could only let out an exclamation, unable to express the tens of thousands of "f*cks" in his heart.
Why is this happening?
Is it never going to end? There’s half a frozen watermelon waiting for him to eat at home.
However, his soul strength was A-supernatural after all, so Zhang Yang did not have too many negative emotions. After just a few seconds, he sorted out a general situation.
First of all, there are more than one village building order. There are currently two types: fantasy village building order and game village building order. In the future, there may also be fairy village building orders. If he eats the first-grade foundation-building pill, the relevant tasks will be activated immediately.
Secondly, according to the currently available information, all village building orders are related to each other. For example, the fantasy village building order can provide 10% to 30% resource support for the game village building order. It is a bit like building a village first before establishing a dynasty, step by step.
Third, although the fantasy village building order can be continuously upgraded, it should be the lowest level, equivalent to the novice village, because only the fantasy village building order has the lowest difficulty, to build a village and ensure that it still exists after three hundred years.
The difficulty of the game's village building order is a level higher, requiring the establishment of a dynasty to ensure that the kingdom still exists after three hundred years.
As for the possible order from the immortal heroes to build a village, the difficulty would be sky-high. One would have to directly establish a sect and ensure that the sect would still be there after three thousand years.
Fourth, if the fantasy village building order is equivalent to the novice village, then even if all the people who have bound the village building order have completed the village building task, they may not be eligible to unlock the second-level game village building order, because the admission ticket to this village building order can only be obtained in the extraordinary trial, and there are only one thousand of them.
Of course, this quota should refer to a certain period of time, such as within a hundred years of the registration deadline.
Fifth, through the setting of the so-called hidden dragon hegemony in the game's village building order, it can be seen that its main line is the civilization conflict between humans and alien races. This is from Zhang Yang's standpoint. If you look at it from a higher level perspective, it is a civilization hegemony.
"The name of this book should really be called The History of the Struggle for Hegemony among Alien Civilizations."
Zhang Yang muttered, and withdrew his thoughts from a more macro perspective.
From now on until the third day, his actions will determine how difficult his future start will be, if he does not want to relive the collapse and confusion at the beginning of the fantasy village building order.
"You don't have to worry too much about the time. All 1,000 competitors, the so-called Hidden Dragons, will start at the same time. The plot will officially begin in three days, but it will be temporarily frozen after three days. Although I don't know what kind of manipulation method this is?"
"At that time, I will bind the game's village building order and initially recruit 500 people, who will be selected from the village I built in the fantasy world. Then, I will have 86 additional people, which is the whole family in front of me. The premise is that I can ensure that none of them will die within these three days."
"Yes, don't think too much. I just need to do this one thing next. Conquer the Bald Ridge Fortress and hold it for three days to make sure no one dies. Then the plot will pause and I will come back in twenty years. At that time, I will directly start a more tragic attack and defense of the Bald Ridge Fortress. This may be the beginning of the character I play becoming famous in one battle."
In just one minute, Zhang Yang had sorted out his thoughts. On the surface, he just seemed to be in a daze for a moment.
Then, he asked the experienced veteran beside him:
"Old man, can you tell me who I have offended? Yesterday morning, I was almost killed by more than 20 passing demon soldiers. This is obviously not an accident."
"Don't you know who you have offended?" The old man sneered, "I think when you raped that girl, you must have forgotten whose daughter she was."
"It's meaningless to say all this now, kid, don't embarrass your father on the battlefield. If you act like a coward, I will kill you for your father."
Zhang Yang was helpless. These NPCs were really pitfalls. They only spoke half of their sentences. It was indeed a game background world. After thinking about it, he changed his words. "I don't care. I was just thinking that the Great Wall defense line has stood for 500 years. It is extremely solid and heavily guarded. How could there be such a thing as demon soldiers passing through? Shouldn't this matter be reported to the higher-ups? You are a veteran on the battlefield. You should know that a thousand-mile dam can be breached by an ant hole."
After saying this, Zhang Yang also carefully observed the old man's expression, as well as the expressions of his subordinates and his son, and it was just as he expected.
The old man pursed his lips tightly, and a terrifying murderous look flashed in his turbid eyes, but in the end he said nothing.
As for the old man's son and men, they were all filled with resentment.
This is interesting. Could it be that the Wei Dynasty was already strong on the outside but weak on the inside? That's why even an experienced veteran like the old man was ostracized, and eventually his entire family was sent to the death squad?
This is the end of a dynasty.
It was a pity that he only eavesdropped on the conversation in Tianliang Town for one night and didn't hear much news. Moreover, on the surface, the situation in Tianliang Town was still very good.
Next, the old man completely lost interest in talking, and his sons, who were the childhood friends of Dong Cheng, the character played by Zhang Yang, were too lazy to pay attention to him, and the group marched in silence.
But how could that be possible? In the next three days, not only did Zhang Yang have to use every possible means, he also had to gain the trust and support of this veteran. It can be said without hesitation that without the support of this veteran, this mission would not be possible.
But this old man is very stubborn and difficult to deal with -
So Zhang Yang turned to target his son. After all, they were childhood friends and should be easy to talk to.
"I need to gather some dry firewood. Besides, we may have to hold out in the Bald Ridge Fortress for a long time, and three days' worth of food and fodder is not enough. So, who, Brother Pee and Ni, do you have any ideas?"
"Get lost! You're talking like you've never done that before!"
The old man's son responded angrily, but after the outburst, he fell into a brief moment of recollection, "Dong Cheng, you have changed. You were quite righteous when you were young, why are you like this when you grow up? Because you lied about military intelligence, because you gambled and deducted military pay, because you were lustful and raped the princess, you deserved it to be in the Death Soldier Camp!"
"What about you? You must be a modest gentleman and a moral role model. How come your whole family has joined the Death Squad? After all, I am the commander of the Death Squad. Don't you think something is wrong?" Zhang Yang asked him.
So the old man’s son stopped talking and continued on his way.
Zhang Yang was helpless. He thought, since all of you are taciturn and upright gentlemen, I will do the opposite. I am shameless anyway.
So he just yelled at the top of his lungs, "Hey, can anyone get me some firewood? Wet firewood is fine, or does anyone know of any woods near Bald Ridge? I want to burn down the entire camp!"
"Don't embarrass yourself, kid. There's not even a spare stone on Bald Ridge. As for the fire attack, you'll probably just burn yourself to death. Also, be quiet. There's not even a 10% chance that we'll survive until tomorrow morning."
The old man finally spoke again, but there was no longer the solemnity in his eyes, as if something had drained away the energy that supported his beliefs.
"Let's make a bet, old man!"
Zhang Yang could only say this, although the behavior of making bets all the time was very cheap and would make people laugh at him for being too childish.
But what else can be done at this moment? The old man is a veteran of the battlefield. He is in good health and loves to eat. In the future he will establish a dynasty. He is the perfect candidate for marshal. Therefore, the old man cannot die, and he cannot lose his faith or his spirit.
"Get lost, I'm not a child!"
It turned out that the old man didn't buy it at all.
"Hey, old man, I just want to live a few more days. I can't let my prime years, knowledge and ambitions go to waste. Besides, I am——"
Zhang Yang almost said the word "virgin" out loud, then he suddenly had an idea, "Hey, old man, your daughter is grown up now, she's really a pretty lady, she should still be unmarried, what do you think of me? Hey, don't hit me, we can talk it out!"
"vulgar!"
"idiot!"
The ones who took action were the old man's sons, and they seemed particularly angry.
"So what if I'm vulgar? Now that we've all entered the death camp, do you still want me to do the three formalities and six etiquettes and recite a poem on the spot? The fire is burning, so I have to find a wife while it's hot, right? Before I die, is it wrong for me to want to find a wife? There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants!"
Zhang Yang made a convincing argument, just like a catfish, who would make trouble whenever he got the chance, and he would do anything to divert the attention of these guys, otherwise there was really nothing you could do with such a group of determined guys who were ready to die at any time.
This time, the old man was not angry. He stared at Zhang Yang for a while with his cloudy old eyes and then said leisurely.
"Dong Cheng, you are quite shameless, but you have a bad memory. Have you forgotten that I have six daughters and five sons, the youngest of whom is Shuzhi, who is the same age as you. The youngest of your six sisters is twelve years older than you. However, I do have several granddaughters and great-granddaughters--"
"Uh - Uncle, you said I was naughty when I was little, that's right! I was the kind of jerk who would tear off the roof if I wasn't punished. Uh, I mean, even ants try to survive, let alone humans. You are a famous general, and your son and son-in-law are both outstanding people. With so many of us together, we may not be invincible, but defending Bald Ridge will definitely be a piece of cake, right?"
Zhang Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It was so horrible. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise my generation would have been downgraded. You old man are so evil.
But at least the depressing atmosphere eased a little at this moment, and there was a hint of smile in the corner of the old man's eyes.
"Boy, do you really want to live?"
"Even ants try to survive, and I have done nothing wrong, why should I die?"
"Okay, although Bald Ridge is a hopeless place, it is not impossible to defend it because it depends on human efforts. I have sixteen old brothers, five sons, six sons-in-law, seven grandsons-in-law, and three grandsons. Each of them is as strong as ten men. With the weapons and armor you provided, plus the twenty-three heavy crossbows, we are 100% sure to capture Bald Ridge."
"But the most difficult part is to defend Bald Ridge. The demon soldiers are fierce and very good at close combat, so we need to use heavy crossbows to suppress them from a distance, and then use the sword and shield formation to strangle them. The consumption of crossbow arrows is the most important thing here. If you can find at least 5,000 more crossbow arrows, 100 replacement crossbow strings, and 20 heavy shields, I dare to guarantee you with my reputation as a soldier that we can hold out until the moment of defense change in three days."
"But nephew, do you think someone will come to replace us in three days?"
