There is no regret medicine in the world!

The Persian army escorting the Ögedai stopped a thousand meters from the wall of Nanchengguan, and only one general, under the arch of a group of guards, continued to advance and came to the vicinity of the city gate.

"Let's go!"

Wang Jian turned around and went down the city wall.

Suddenly, the city gate opened, and Wang Jian walked out.

In order to ensure the safety of the handover work, the West Asia Theater had made sufficient preparations before this, in addition to the defenders of Nancheng Pass, and in the mountains near the city, an artillery gun was also arranged.

The purpose, of course, was to prevent the Persian Empire from defrauding.

Although this is unlikely, it has to be guarded against.

"Hello!"

The Persian general was the first to say hello.

Wang Jian raised his eyes and saw that the other party was a veteran, thin and straight, covered with armor all over his body, and a golden beard, which was particularly eye-catching.

According to intelligence, this man's name was Xerxes, and he was the commander of the eastern border of the Persian Empire.

"Hello!"

Wang Jian nodded quietly.

If nothing else, the next time the two meet, they should be mortal enemies on the battlefield.

Xerxes seemed to understand this, and both generals were casually looking at each other, and there was a murderous aura in the air.

"Sign the agreement!" Wang Jian spoke.

Two generals, authorized by their respective imperial courts, were responsible for signing formal agreements.

Xerxes asked, "What about the ransom?" ”

In the agreement signed by the two parties, the ransom column did not stipulate a specific amount, which means that on the side of Great Xia, how much to give is appropriate.

Wang Jian just smiled, took out a gold coin from his arms, and pretended to say solemnly: "Give!" ”

Looking at the gold coin handed over, a trace of shame flashed on Xerxes's face, and Great Xia set the ransom as one gold coin, which was undoubtedly a humiliation to the Persian Empire.

Xerxes, whose expression changed, finally endured it after struggling, took the gold coin with an expressionless face, and then handed over an agreement.

After Wang Jian signed, it officially took effect.

Xerxes's expression was fully seen by Wang Qian, and his heart sank, and the other party's sophistication and forbearance made Wang Jian more and more vigilant against his neighbors.

The rest is simple.

Wo Kotai and other generals were handed over on a priority basis and temporarily escorted to Nanchengguan Prison. The rest of the soldiers, one after another, were sent to the pass.

For safety reasons, the entire receiving process will last two days.

Every time Nanchengguan receives a batch of prisoners of war, it will be transported to the rear to keep Nanchengguan unblocked.

What outsiders don't know is that on the same night, Wokotai died in prison, and the prisoner was Wang Qian. Of course, this was instructed by Ouyang Shuo.

Otherwise, no matter how bold Wang Jian is, he will not dare to act recklessly.

The rest of the soldiers, if they are injured or sick, the imperial court will arrange military doctors to treat them, and after a little resettlement, some will be sent back to their hometowns directly, and some will be incorporated into the Xijiang Construction Corps or the Xikang Construction Corps.

One gold coin redeems 150,000 prime-aged laborers, and Great Xia will not lose money.

Through this move, the imperial court can also buy the hearts of the Mongols to a certain extent, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

…………

In the blink of an eye, winter is coming.

The global battlefield is silent, entering a rare truce.

Due to the intervention of Great Xia, the Dawson dynasty advanced very slowly on the Mayan battlefield, and before the truce, little progress was made, much to Jack's frustration.

The European battlefield still maintained a dangerous balance of power, especially after the Great Xia firearms began to be transported into the Germanic dynasty, and the strong Germanic peoples withstood the pressure of the front.

This winter was very important for the Germanic dynasty.

In Africa, the Bantu dynasty behaved aggressively, and the Dawson dynasty army used Angola as a battlefield to start a life-and-death rally.

Now it will be up to the Bantu dynasty to make more determination in the coming year.

A few years ago, the Bantu Dynasty issued an order for firearms with 20 million gold coins to Great Xia, which shows that the Bantu Dynasty is not small.

Although Ouyang Shuo was vigilant, he still accepted the order.

The most surprising thing for Ouyang Shuo was the Tianzhu battlefield, and I don't know what Ashoka had in mind, after redeeming one million prisoners of war, he did not put it into the battlefield.

It's as if to say that this million-strong army has never existed at all.

Next year's Tianzhu battlefield is bound to stage a good show.

On December 25, Christmas in the West came as scheduled, and many soldiers in the battlefields of the Americas and Europe spent an unforgettable Christmas in the trenches.

After Christmas, the eight years of Gaia came to an end.

On December 30, the eighth year of Gaia, a system announcement resounded around the world.

"World Announcement: On the occasion of the eighth anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will undergo the ninth and final system update, effective immediately, and players can log in to the official website to view the specific content."

……

As soon as the announcement came out, the world was silent.

Before you know it, the game world has gone through its eighth year, and every year the system update is a big drama, affecting the new global landscape.

There have been several updates that have even brought subversive effects.

No one expected that this would be the last system update, which would mean that this kind of regular change would not be used again in the ninth year of Gaia, ten years in Gaia, and even in the foreseeable future.

Gaia, it seems, is consciously interfering with the game world.

Capital.

Ouyang Shuo shook off his heart and logged in to the official website as usual to check this update.

[1] Cancel system announcements and system prompts.

From now on, no matter what achievements a player has achieved, Gaia will not make a system announcement. Relevant achievements are only broadcast in the form of press releases on the official website.

It's also a crucial step towards realism in the game world.

System announcements may seem convenient and give players the feeling that Gaia is everywhere and can be forced to release information to everyone.

It's not a good experience.

The system prompts the same, it is all Gaia who is self-restraint.

The privacy of the players is fully protected.

If necessary, the relevant system prompts will be displayed on the player's communication compass in the form of emails or messages, which can be viewed at any time, which is also very convenient.

[2] Cancel some teleportation arrays.

From now on, only one teleportation array can be reserved for each game area (especially the original game area).

Taking Great Xia as an example, in the mainland, if Ouyang Shuo chooses to leave the teleportation array quota to the Jingshi, then the teleportation arrays of the nine royal cities, including Lingxi City, Zhenhai City, Black Lion City, Stubborn Stone City, Luofeng City, Luo Qi City, Loulan, Hara and Lin, Huining Mansion and other places, will all be canceled.

This has a relatively large impact on Great Xia.

The only thing that relieved Ouyang Shuo was that most of the teleportation arrays in overseas territories could be preserved, otherwise, with such a vast territory as Great Xia, it would really be a big trouble.
