In addition to asking about the situation of the army, Lu Shuang was very concerned about the situation of the army's equipment, because the manufacturing capacity of a territory is so developed, if even the army of his own territory cannot be satisfied, then it will not be able to say.

It has been two weeks since the birth of the king-level profession in the territory, and under the processing and addition of various positions, nearly half of the 14,000 eighth-order soldiers have successfully changed their outfits, equipped with some steel guns and full-body armor, for which Lu Shuang has also paid a lot of money and resources. It's not a problem for seventh-order soldiers, because the special blacksmith and special tailor can produce the steel guns and fish scale armor needed by the seventh-order soldiers, and there are more than 10,000 sets of equipment left over from the eighth-order soldiers after changing their outfits, so in general, the seventh-order soldiers are not worried about equipment. Since steel weapons are not as cost-effective as ancient spear guns, a significant proportion of the seventh-order soldiers use ancient spear guns.

In terms of bows and shields, because archers and heavy shields are only a small number of troops, they can still quickly meet the needs of soldiers of all ranks. And on the catapults that Lu Shuang has always been concerned about, the output has gradually increased, and there are currently twenty catapults in the entire territory, if they are used for combat, it is estimated that the other party will be scared silly by the stones in the sky.

However, siege weapons such as catapults can't play a role now, after all, there aren't many third-level cottages in the entire territory except for Fog Shadow City, so you can't use catapults to attack the monster camp, so if you hit the first, not to mention, the equipment on the humanoid monster will be smashed by stones, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, Lu Shuang plans to use the catapult on the warship, and it can be fixed on the ship with a little modification, and the flying stones in the sky when the naval battle starts, I feel scared when I think about it. And it doesn't take much, just a few four-masted galleons loaded with catapults, and with other four-masted galleons, even in the face of a stronger pirate group.

On this day, a batch of newly manufactured military equipment was loaded onto a special transport ship and prepared to be transported down the river to Tiefan Town. In addition to catapults and all kinds of equipment, twenty four-masted galleons and a large number of high-level fishing boats also passed away.

According to the information sent back from the front line of Tiefan Town, the group of pirates in Qinghe Village that they destroyed was only one of the small pirate groups, and the pressure from the pirates that Zhou Bai and the others needed to face every day was very high, and once they were a little negligent, it could cause serious consequences. Lu Shuang didn't dare to make this bet, anyway, Feitian Town didn't need so many warships, so they all supported Tiefan Town, plus Tiefan Town itself could produce four-masted sailing ships, and there was a naval barracks, I believe that it would soon be able to clean up the pirates in this sea area.

As a leader, it is naturally impossible for Lu Shuang to personally deliver supplies, in order to be promoted to a king-level general as soon as possible, he has been following everyone to brush the rebel camp. Now only the fifth-order soldiers in the rebel camp can provide him with a little more experience, and it is even better to kill a general from time to time.

Just when Lu Shuang led the troops to overthrow a rebel battalion, he suddenly received a system announcement:

"Announcement in China: In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, natural disasters continued, taxes were heavy, and the people were struggling to make a living, causing hundreds of people to fall into the grass and become a disaster. In late June, a large number of third-level cottages appeared across the country, threatening county towns and destroying towns and villages. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty specially ordered all states and counties to make every effort to clear the third-level cottages in the territory, and those who obtained them were rewarded and held official positions according to their merits. ”

Emergence of a large number of tertiary copycats? Isn't that what was only mentioned in a recent system update? Why did the imperial court turn the other way around the system?

Countless players don't understand the reason, and Lu Shuang doesn't know it very well, but he feels that this is an opportunity. First of all, this is the first order issued by the Han court, and after almost two months of silence, players almost forget that this game is still dominated by NPCs, and there is still the behemoth of the Han court on their heads. No matter how corrupt and weak the Han court is, it is still the imperial court, and the tasks issued by it still have influence.

Secondly, the announcement mentioned that all prefectures and counties should be responsible for clearing the third-level cottages in their territory, because too many third-level cottages will also seriously affect the security of the prefectures and counties, so the local government does not want to have the existence of third-level cottages, and this directive of the imperial court is also in their interests. With the same interests, the local government is expected to take action, and then it is indispensable to issue tasks, and players can profit from them. As for the first- and second-level cottages, it may be that they feel that their strength is too weak, and the imperial court did not mention it. Or maybe the system deliberately wants to give up the benefits of this part of the first- and second-level cottages to the players.

Subsequently, Hailing County also issued an announcement:

"Hailing County Announcement: According to the order of Emperor Ling, in order to clear all the third-level cottages in the county, the county order of Hailing County will attack the Black Tiger Cottage in the territory on July 1, hoping that all different forces will unite and assist the county in attacking the Black Tiger Cottage. Kill the corresponding rogues to get merit and points, according to the points can be exchanged for materials and equipment in the cottage warehouse, and the ten Inhuman forces with the highest points will be reported to Guangling County to show their merits. At the same time, powerful Inhuman forces can organize their own armies to attack the third-level cottage, and everything they obtain belongs to them, including the ownership of the cottage. ”

In fact, not only in China, but also in the entire server, it is almost the same, but because the development of each region is different, it is just sooner or later.

Almost every county has released the same mission, the only difference is the timing of the attack and some specific rewards, but since it is the first time that the imperial forces have made a move, many players want to participate in it and hug their thighs. At this time, some people began to complain about the Seraphic Guild, and if they lost so much, they couldn't take the third-level cottage, but now that the imperial court forces intervened, it is estimated that Emperor Tian regretted it to the intestines. But the real visionary people don't think much, because Lu Shuang is the first to occupy the third-level cottage, he knows that those materials and equipment are the second choice, and the most important thing is the control of a small city, followed by NPC residents. That's why the Seraphic Guild is desperately trying to take down a third-level cottage, with a small city and so many residents, it can definitely go sideways in the power of Pengcheng players.

The announcement also attached the reward of the meritorious service and points for participating in this mission, and I have to say that Lu Shuang was also greedy for this meritorious service and points.

The calculation method of merit and points is similar, except that merit can be used to exchange for the general's transfer order, and the points are used to exchange for materials and equipment, and the points will affect the total point ranking of the forces to which they belong. Therefore, there are many guilds that immediately issue recruitment orders on their official websites, as long as they are classified as their forces when attacking the cottages, and there is no need to follow their arrangements. No matter how many points you get, you can also get rewards from the guild, the purpose of which is to increase the total points of the guild's forces.

But this point is limited to this kind of task, if there is a point in the Yellow Turban Rebellion plot in the future, then the points obtained this time cannot be counted in the Yellow Turban Rebellion plot, and can only be useful in attacking the third-level cottage in Hailing County.

In terms of merit, killing 100 Fourth-Order Rogues will get 4 merit points, and 100 fifth-order Rogues will be exchanged for 16 merit points, and when they reach the 8th-Order Rogue, they will all increase by 4 multiples. It doesn't seem like much, but in fact, the achievement of this merit is four times that of killing the Liukou before, and it took only 1 merit to kill a hundred fourth-order Liukou before, but now there are 4 points.

In terms of points, killing a fourth-order rogue will give you 4 points, and the rank will also increase at a rate of 4 times higher.

Lu Shuang was not interested in this point, he wanted to take down a third-level cottage by himself, and it was without anyone knowing. It was also mentioned in the announcement of Hailing County just now that there is actually more than one third-level cottage in the territory, and if there are a few close to Jingang Town, you can consider it.

Just when everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie in this full-server mission, the system once again played his lewdness, and another almost full-server announcement filled the whole game with gunsmoke.

"Announcement of the Chinese region: Emperor Ling is mediocre, eunuchs interfere in politics, the court is corrupt, the bureaucrats are arrogant and robbing the people, and the people are not happy, causing hundreds of people to fall into the grass. The rogues of the counties are united, and invite the inhuman warriors to participate and conspire with the world's great events. During this episode, players who join the Rogue Force gain +300% experience by killing the Imperial Court Forces, increase the rank of soldiers of the Copycat Forces by one level (below the Ninth Order and King Generals), and increase the Force Value by one point for combat classes above the King level. ”
