Back in Tianma City, Ye Teng still devoted himself to the great cause of alchemy regardless of it.

In this retreat, Ye Teng instructed everyone in the Taishou Mansion not to disturb him as long as it was not a particularly urgent matter.

With three furnaces of Dan every day, plus two hours of internal cultivation, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the scenery in the courtyard outside the window has changed from the fiery red of the fallen leaves in mid-autumn to the white snow in early winter.

The retreat for alchemy has been in the blink of an eye for nearly two months.

Perhaps, focused people are always more successful. On December 21, 187 AD, when Ye Teng successfully refined a furnace of intermediate Avatar Pill again, the system prompt sounded:

"Congratulations, Alchemy has successfully advanced to the Grandmaster level, since you are the first player in the world to cultivate the alchemy skill to the Grandmaster level, you will be rewarded with a reputation value of 10,000 and a rare skill - the primary teleportation technique."

In an instant, Ye Teng's brain was injected with a stream of information, and he felt cool at first, then swollen and uncomfortable, and after less than two minutes, he naturally learned the primary teleportation technique. After learning it, Ye Teng immediately understood in his heart that the effective area of the primary teleportation technique was only 5 meters, and it could only be used once a day.

The reward of 10,000 prestige points is dispensable for Ye Teng today. But the primary teleportation technique is a small means of sneak attack and life-saving.

In future wars such as princes competing for hegemony and national wars, the head of the general will be taken among the ten thousand armies, not only Ye Teng likes to do it, but the enemy also likes it.

With such a small measure, I am afraid that it is not only an accident of one's own life that can be avoided, but also a possible collapse can be reversed.

It's just that, looking at the high-grade Transforming Pill refining requirements that take 5 hours per furnace, and the pitifully low success rate, Ye Teng has no desire to try it in the short term.

It seems that the refining of the high-level Transformation Pill can only be entrusted to Chen Xi and other full-time alchemists, and the alchemy is indeed not suitable for Ye Someone, whose main profession is the lord.

Otherwise, the Yin Jian of King Zhou You, Empress Li, Song Huizong and others may not be far away! The most important thing to be aware of is that this is not just a game, where almost everyone is fighting for their lives, and there is no sloppiness at all.

Click on the properties panel that I haven't paid attention to for a long time:

Name: Ye Teng, word: Mianzhi.

Qualification: SSS level

Occupation: Heaven-level generalSub-class: Doctor

Identity: Yanmen County Taishou (Kaifu) General Pingyu (Kaifu)

Prestige: 5.63 million

Meritorious: 131.46 million

Level: 64

Brawn: 97 Dominion: 80 Intelligence: 81 Politics: 76

Internal Strength: Heaven-level Exercises (Beginner)

Skill: Dragon Lance Trick (Perfection); exploratory surgery; advanced archery; primary teleportation;

Master Collection (0/100,000); Grandmaster-level alchemy (12/10 million);

After the independent political Yanmen, the level has not improved much, but the political attribute has improved a lot. It seems that it is related to the fact that he has been busy with government affairs during this time.

Because alchemy is upgraded to the grandmaster level, the intelligence has increased by 1 point. That's the equivalent of 5 free attribute points, which is a bonus.

Looking at the more than a thousand mid-level Transforming Pills in the storage ring, Ye Teng suddenly felt as if he hadn't paid attention to the promotion of special troops for a long time.

Next year, that is, in 188 AD, the forces of Tianma City must eliminate the bandits in the entire Yanmen County of one million square kilometers, and conquer the grasslands in the north, laying at least hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of pastures, and there is a long way to go. During this period, it will inevitably be a melee one after another, and if there is the intervention of other players' forces in the process, the situation will undoubtedly be more complicated and unpredictable;

The year after that, that is, in 189 AD, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and good dramas were one after another: Emperor Ling died, He Jin was executed, the death of the ten permanent servants, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the emperor was abolished, which can be described as a climax;

In the year after tomorrow, that is, in 190 A.D., the prelude to the princes' discussion of Dong will be opened, and this plot can be called the climax of the entire Three Kingdoms; After the princes discuss Dong, the Huaxia District will officially form a situation of melee among the princes.

In the last years of the Han Dynasty, where the world is about to be in chaos, if you want to live in it, be able to protect yourself, reap benefits, and even take advantage of the chaos, you must have the most basic premise, that is, the army!

Heroes in troubled times rise from all directions, and if you have a gun, you are the king of grass!

Today, in terms of primary special troops, or junior generals of the same rank, the Xuanyuan League is definitely more than one million, and the Xue Weiyang and Badao Alliance are at least about one hundred or two hundred thousand.

But when Ye Teng came to Cai Hui to understand, he found that there were more than 40,000 junior troops under his rule so far, even if you add the generals of other ordinary arms, the total number is less than 100,000, and it is still far from those big forces!

Compared with them, Ye Teng's biggest advantage is probably that his army is NPC, and those player forces have tilted more than ninety percent of their resources towards players. Therefore, their mid-to-high-end combat power is military generals, not special troops.

And Ye Teng is mainly a special type of troops, if you talk about group operations, in the case of a difference in strength is not too far, special troops must have more advantages than generals of the same level.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to give full play to its superiority in group operations, greatly increase the number of special arms, and in the future, except for the suppression of bandits in the nature of military training and the strangulation of small and medium-sized tribes in the grasslands, the dispatch of special arms will be the main focus of high-intensity wars.

Since the number of soldiers can't be fought, the soldiers can't be resurrected when they die, and a large area of death will definitely greatly damage the strength of the force, so the loss of the number of people will be reduced by at least 10 times or more with special troops, but the investment of resources will be massive.

Perhaps, this is Ye Teng's biggest comparative advantage compared to the power of ordinary players. Now, in terms of merit value and disposable gold coins in his hands, few can be more abundant than Ye Teng. Then take the money and smash them to death with merit!

After careful consideration, Ye Teng decided to spend a huge amount of money to increase his troops:

spent 20.3 million merit points to exchange for 1 high-level special class - Iron Eagle Ruishi Token (10 million), 4 intermediate special classes - Beiwei Army Token (4 million), 10 primary special class - Qijiajun Token (1 million); 3 primary special troops - Danyang Elite Soldier Token (300,000); 500 yellow-level Avatar (5 million);

spent 6.5 million gold to purchase 5,000 high-grade Avatar Pills, of which 4,000 were intended to be used to build the Beiwei Army, and 1,000 were used to improve the qualifications of ordinary generals; He purchased 15,000 Intermediate Transforming Pills, together with more than 5,000 Intermediate Transformation Pills refined by himself and other master-level alchemists in his territory, totaling more than 20,000 pieces, of which 10,000 were used to build the Qi Family Army, 3,000 were used to build Danyang Elite Soldiers, 4,000 were used to compensate for the primary special troops who were promoted to the 4,000 Beiwei Army, and the remaining more than 3,000 were used to promote the grassroots generals of the ordinary troops.

After this round of investment, Ye Teng's troops will eventually have the following strength:

800 high-level special arms Xuanjia cavalry; 500 high-level special troops, Iron Eagle Warriors; 6,000 mid-level special troops, Beiwei Army, and 4,000 Tuhu Army; There are 30,000 iron cavalry of the Han army, 15,000 Qijia troops, 5,000 Danyang elite soldiers, and 5,000 Jinyi guards.

There have been a lot of additions to the ordinary army in the past few months, mainly from the prisoners bought from the Feihong Alliance, as well as the prisoners harvested by the bandits themselves in Yanmen County, and now the ordinary troops in Yanmen County and Tianma City have reached 1.38 million. It seems that with Yanmen County as the backing, the army is growing rapidly.

Before ruling Yanmen, Ye Teng spent five years, and he only accumulated more than 100,000 troops, but now he has only been in charge of Yanmen for a few months, and the army has increased to such a point. Sure enough, as some businessmen say, the first pot of gold is the hardest to earn.

This large-scale investment of resources is expected to be able to form all combat power before the spring flowers bloom next year, and at that time, I don't believe that I can break hands with those NPCs and player forces!
