Chapter 225: If He Wants to Fight, I'll Fight!
It's like mountaineering, when you pay all your strength and go through thousands of twists and turns and finally get only one step away from the top of the mountain, but you are blown back to the starting point by a sudden gust of wind, such a blow is obviously not something that ordinary people can bear.
Ah Niu's current situation is almost like this.
With all his strength and brains, he finally reached the standard of upgrading the city, and basically Ah Niu was ready to open the champagne. But a certain damn lord temporarily abstained, which made Feng Xiang's test more difficult in an instant, and the efforts of more than ten days before that seemed to be in vain.
When a territory applies for a leapfrog promotion, if the first place temporarily abstains, should the test criteria for the second place be changed?
The answer is yes!
Although Feng Xiang was "accidentally" overshadowed on the way to upgrade the territory this time, in the last three days left, the difficulty of the upgrade test has increased significantly, and it seems that such an "unexpected situation" should not lead to an increase in the difficulty of the upgrade, but in fact, it is not.
Just imagine, if Feng Xiang continues to pass the test as the second applicant in the process of upgrading the city this time, but because the first applicant abstains, Feng Xiang will naturally be the de facto territory where the first upgrade city succeeds! Then, the "first city in the world" is naturally none other than Fengxiang.
However, with the difficulty of the second applicant's test, it is obviously more unfair to get the honor and benefit of the first place! In order to become the "first city in the world", of course, you need to pass the test of the matching system first. If this is not the case, then some dark box operations between lord players can completely make a certain territory be the first to complete a leapfrog upgrade on normal difficulty in the form of collective abstention!
If such a situation occurs, it can only mean that there is a strict zhòng bug in the game.
According to the above ideas, it seems that players can also create trouble for their imaginary opponents through the process of "applying for upgrades and waiving" in the game, and send some unexpected "surprises", such as the situation encountered by Ah Niu this time. In fact, this worry is completely unnecessary.
Everyone knows that there will be a system test for leapfrog upgrades, and although this system test can also be abstained, it will have an impact on the prestige of the territory and the degree of attracting displaced people, and the "abstention" is not so easy to vote! And whether it is abstention or failure to upgrade, you have to wait ten days before you can apply for an upgrade territory again, ten days, enough to give birth to a lot of things, enough for a territory that was originally ranked in the top ten to be squeezed out of the top 100 by many pursuers!
In this setting, some lords who like Yin people must seriously consider whether they can bear the corresponding consequences before they figure out the way of guò "abstaining", and at least they must be able to clearly know the time of the other party's promotion.
Ah Niu was ruthlessly put on the table this time, in fact, it was because of a certain traitor, which made the opponent's upgrade time and preparation for Feng Xiang clear, so that people with intentions could take advantage of it and take advantage of the situation to create the current situation. Otherwise, among the more than 50,000 lords, it is almost impossible to know who applied for the upgrade and when!
Under normal circumstances, lieges are very cautious when applying for leapfrog upgrades to their provinces, because once they fail, it is not fun to lose their territory's reputation, population, or time. Without perfect preparation, the principle of "preferring to stop for three points rather than grab a second" will usually be followed, of course, the territory of the first crab eater is not among them, and there will definitely be no so-called "system test inside information" at that time.
Leapfrog upgrades will encounter system tests, and on the basis of normal tests, the difficulty of the first place to apply for an upgrade will be doubled, and the difficulty of the second place will be increased by 5o%. Feng Xiang is now facing the embarrassment of correcting the difficulty of the test from "5o% increase" to "1oo% increase".
If the test of upgrading the city is still the same as upgrading the township, Ah Niu will not care at all. Feng Xiang doesn't have much else, there are many people who can fight, and it doesn't matter if the difficulty is doubled or quadrupled. Unfortunately, this upgrade test is economic, not military.
Prior to this, Fengxiang Town only needed to make the daily income reach 854oo gold to pass the level, but now the upgrade condition is that the daily income needs to reach 976ooo gold, it seems that the gap between the two is not much more than 122oo gold, but don't forget the old saying: "The end of the strong crossbow can't wear Lu Min"!
Even the most capable cow can break its spine with just one straw when the weight it carries has reached its limit!
Fengxiang Town seems to be in such a situation now. And Feng Xiang's lord Ah Niu is now in a dilemma.
-- Enter. In the remaining three days, he will go to Wushan again and strive to create a miracle and upgrade the success of the city. So after Fengxiang was reborn after this catastrophe, he took advantage of the situation to pocket the expected honor of "the first city in the world", and the future prospects of the territory are bright!
But "exhibition economy" has never been an overnight thing, smashed the pot and sold iron, bankrupt and even sold life-saving food in Fengxiang Town, what to use to fill the gap of 122oo gold?
It seems that there is almost no "selling people" now, although there are many skilled talents in Fengxiang, but if a certain mayor really does this kind of thing, he is afraid that the prestige of the territory and the individual will immediately come to "soar 90,000 miles"! And it is obviously unlikely that the system will consider such a creative thing as "selling people" as a normal "business activity".
- Retreat. Knowing that things cannot be done, and not by the wise, it is better to give up as soon as possible and start preparing for the next upgrade than to struggle and work in vain. Sometimes, one hour is enough to make or break a success, let alone three days!
But the bitter fruit of failure is not so easy to swallow! If Ah Niu also learns to give up like "a bastard lord" now, but Feng Xiang has made the income of the territory reach a very high level in the "big production" of more than ten days, and it will be upgraded again, and it is bound to be based on the current "total income of the territory" as the standard!
How easy is it to build on what you already have? Of course, there is no way, such as "wielding a knife from the palace", and reducing the income status of the territory to a very low level first, then the test when applying for upgrading the territory for the second time will undoubtedly be much easier.
However, the territory has finally reached such a scale, can Ah Niu bear to "self-harm"?
Ah Niu is now in a dilemma, but whether to give up or not, the result seems to be the same.
There are still three days left in this drama of territorial upgrading.
In three days, can Ah Niu turn the tide and save the building from collapse?
This question has always been in the mind of Yan Yan, and now this benevolent brother is eager to see Ah Niu's reaction. I believe that Ah Niu's reaction at this time must be very exciting!
However, the next action of a certain town mayor made the second monk scratch his head.
Ah Niu's expression was grim, but he did not have the expected anger, let alone a thunderous storm, as if the "human tragedy" just now was not born in him, and there was not even a sign of being disheartened. Yan Yan even wondered if Ah Niu had lost all his thoughts under such a blow.
Ah Niu just stood silently on the street of Fengxiang for a long time, without even saying a rude word, and then ...... I took some soldiers to practice outside the town.
Ah Niu actually went to level up by himself so heartlessly!
This is a bit incredible.
After some analysis, Yan Yan finally came to a conclusion: Ah Niu, who had suffered a great change, is now anesthetizing himself by leveling up. The upgrade test of Hengzhu Fengxiang Town will come to an end in three days, and it seems that Ah Niu, who knows that the upgrade is hopeless, simply gave up in this negative way.
When they are upset, some people like to drink, some people like to smoke, and some people like to play games...... Although Ah Niu's behavior seems a little strange, it is also reasonable.
Ah Niu's level is only level 36, and I have to say that this level is a little lower. As the lord of the "No. 1 Town in the World", a high-attacker with teleportation and fire-gathering, this level is really a bit shabby.
Ah Niu hopes to increase the level to level 4o or higher before the system test is over in three days. Under normal circumstances, such an upgrade would not be possible, even if NPC soldiers help pull monsters. But among the gains brought back by a town mayor's trip to Luoyang, there are also luxuries such as "experience value doubling".
It's just that people will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water when they are unlucky, and Ah Niu, who has just suffered a blow in the great cause of "upgrading the territory", the action of "upgrading personal level" is not going too smoothly. The great cause of leveling only lasted for a while, and Ah Niu's level was interrupted without a little increase, and Chen Gong sent someone to inform Ah Niu to return to the territory.
"What's the matter?" A mayor asked.
"My lord, according to the report of the martial artist, there is a large army of Yellow Turbans moving in the north, most likely coming towards our territory, and it is only fifty miles away now. With their degree, it only takes more than an hour for the army to come to the city! Chen Gong gave a brief and concise introduction to the situation.
"Big troops? How many people are there? ”
"The exact number of people has not yet been reported, but it should be no less than 20,000!" A hint of melancholy appeared on Chen Gong's face, hesitated for a moment, and continued:
"And among the generals who lead the army, there is also our old acquaintance, Du Yuan."
Ah Niu was not surprised, and sneered: "Last time, the Yellow Turban Army sent martial artists to our territory to look for jade pendants without success, and I knew that they would not give up on a certain rest, and they secretly failed to succeed in robbing them openly. It seems that the impression on them before is not deep enough, if you don't let these people know the pain, I Fengxiang will never have peace in the future! ”
"What the lord said is true, but this time the Yellow Turban Army is huge, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to deal with. In the past, the Yellow Turban Army ate turtles many times in my Fengxiang, and this time it must be prepared, and you need to deal with it carefully. Chen Gong was worried that Ah Niu would be carried away by the previous victory, you must know that although Feng Xiang had not suffered a loss in the duel with the Yellow Turban Army before, it did not mean that the Yellow Turban Army was a local chicken. Even the most glorious battles of the North Sea were won with the cooperation of many lords, adventurers, and defenders of the North Sea.
Ah Niu smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Gongtai, I am not a light enemy, but I have absolute confidence in our soldiers!" This time, the Yellow Turban Army came violently, presumably for revenge, and secondly, for the jade pendant, and our feud with the Yellow Turban Army is not easy to resolve. Since it is unavoidable, let's fight them happily. ”
Speaking of this, Ah Niu's face changed, "I don't like war either, especially the battlefield is at our doorstep, but many things will not be transferred by your will." If he wants to fight, I will fight! It doesn't matter if there are more troops, although it is relatively difficult to deal with it, it also gives us the opportunity to finish the battle and lay a relatively long-term opportunity for the territory to develop peacefully! ”
"If he wants to fight, I will fight!" This is the attitude of Ah Niu towards the enemy.
Chen Gong's pride also burned under Ah Niu's extremely incendiary language. In the battle of the Little Heavenly Division, less than 200 soldiers in Fengxiang Town defeated the Yellow Turban troops led by **; Now there are arrow towers in every territory of Fengxiang Town, and the number of troops has increased by more than ten times, and there are two more generals, Li Jin and Jiang Qin, do you lose the courage to fight? !
As he spoke, the martial artist who was burdened with the investigation sent back the latest news.
"My lord, the Yellow Turban Army numbered about 25,000 people, and it was still thirty-five miles away from the territory, so it was already certain that they were coming for Feng Xiang. Judging from the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, there are two enemy generals, one is Du Yuan, and the other is the 'Guan' character banner, but I don't know who it is. ”
"Probe!" Ah Niu waved his hand, turned to Chen Gong and said:
"The generals surnamed 'Guan' in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army who are qualified to lead so many troops to fight, presumably there is no one else except Guan Hai, it seems that the Yellow Turban Army is the elite this time. Inform all troops, dependent territories, and get ready for battle! ”
"Yes, my lord!" Chen Gong promised loudly that he would not go.
Fengxiang's war planes began to be fully activated, and one by one the troops were quickly assembled, and in less than ten minutes, all the troops stationed in Fengxiang Town were assembled. The preparations for the vassal territories will not be much slower, and the Chen Palace has already sent martial artists to the various vassal territories to summon them.
Feng Xiang hadn't been in battle for months, and this time the lord ordered all the troops to be mobilized, and it was clear that there was a bad battle to be fought. The face of the soldier who was trapped in the camp and ascended to the dead first showed a desire to fight, like a bloodthirsty wolf! There are only 3oo regular troops stationed in Fengxiang, and although they have never been on the battlefield, these "recruit eggs" don't look too nervous!
The fierce battle is about to begin! (To be continued)
