Chapter 146: Qualifying and City Construction
The last city council in 918 of the Shengyuan calendar was very different from the past, perhaps because the two sides of the bronze long table in the council hall could not accommodate the high-level members of each branch city due to the expansion of the city, and the captains of the city council guards were not notified to participate, and only the high-level people of the city who had the positions of principal, vice principal, and captain of the city and Zhu Yuan, the city hero, participated in the meeting.
At this time, Zhu Yuan was sitting at the bottom of the bronze long table, looking at the people on both sides of the bronze long table boredly, Bai Zhenlong, who was sitting at the top, and Wei Yunpeng, Kong Qi, Sun Mao, and Fei Liangcai, the four principals of the sub-urban area, were sitting on the left and right.
Lu Zhan, the third captain of the guard team on the right hand, and the position opposite Lu Zhan, where Zhu Yuan has only sat once, sat Sha Jingwu, the head of the guard team in charge of all the urban guards.
Further down are the four vice principals of each sub-district, Feng Yunfei, Lu Chongfeng, Murong Qingqiu, and Bai Tianming, and the four captains of the guard teams of each sub-district, Guang Hao, Ji Ling, Ruan Hongyu, and Xiongfeng.
At this time, the fourteen people sitting on both sides of the bronze long table had different expressions, especially the few people who were sitting in the city's council hall for the first time, even if they maintained their apparent composure, their eyes still betrayed them when they glanced around.
Especially Bai Tianming, if it weren't for Bai Zhenlong sitting at the top and glaring at him, I'm afraid he would have been unable to sit still at this time.
But even so, he still kept looking at Feng Yunfei, Murong Qingqiu, and Lu Chongfeng, who were also vice principals, and his eyes clearly showed that he had something to say.
After a short time, after everyone arrived, Bai Zhenlong announced the official opening of the council and introduced the main purpose of the city council.
"From today, it will be determined that the city council will be attended by the senior officials of each district, and as for the matters related to the various escort teams after the meeting, the chief of the escort team attending the meeting will convey and implement them.
The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss the start of the Guardian Qualifying Tournament, and after discussion by several of our principals, we believe that it is necessary to start this year's Urban Guardian Qualifying Tournament in advance for two reasons.
First, after the disbandment and reorganization of the escort teams, the strength of some escort units has changed greatly, and the strength of each escort cannot be fully utilized, so it is urgent to re-rank according to the strength of the escort team.
The second is that Xicheng will stop moving in order to expand the city, which will inevitably lead to the gathering of mutant beasts outside the city, and the strength of the four pilot escort teams is stretched, so it is necessary to increase the number of pilot escort teams. ”
"Therefore, the result of the preliminary discussion is to start the qualifying tournament in advance, and the top six in the qualifying tournament will be responsible for clearing the surrounding mutant beasts as the pilot escort team and delaying the generation of beast tides.
The seventh to twelfth are the oven guards, with one permanent in each sub-city and two in the central city, which rotate once a year. The others are city guards, assisting in the safety of the city and the cleaning of mutant beasts around the city. ”
After Bai Zhenlong finished talking about the purpose and arrangement of the city council, he looked at everyone.
For a while, the council hall was silent, Zhu Yuan looked at his nose and nose, even if he was called a city hero and was privileged to attend the city council, as a small city guard member, Zhu Yuan still decided not to say a word.
But the others are different, especially the representatives of the small and medium-sized families who have invested most of their family property in the sub-district, unlike the previous captains of the guards, each sub-district represents their interests, so after hearing that the qualifying competition was opened in advance and the construction of the sub-district was delayed again, after Feng Yunfei, Lu Chongfeng, and Murong Qingqiu glanced at each other, Murong Qingqiu cleared his throat and said:
"It's a good thing that the various escorts are rearranged and divided, and I also support the early start of the qualifying round, but now that Xicheng has stopped moving, every extra day of stay will inevitably increase the risk of facing the mutant beast tide, according to the previous qualifying matches that lasted for half a month, I don't think it's appropriate to waste more than half a month."
After Murong Qingqiu finished speaking, Lu Chongfeng answered:
"All the refugees have been assigned to the underground settlements in the districts according to their wishes, and they have become citizens of the sub-districts, and even if we don't start the construction of the sub-districts now, we need to provide food and so on, and we will waste resources for so long."
Seeing this, Ji Ling and Ruan Hongyu, who represented the Wen family and the Allure family, also expressed their worries about public security, which made Kong Qi and Sun Mao, who were sitting in front, look ugly, and the two were about to speak, when Bai Zhenlong's voice sounded:
"Lu Zhan, what do you think of being the captain of the guard?"
"The re-ranking of the convoys is necessary, but the construction of the same sub-city must also begin immediately." Lu Zhan said with a glance.
"What about Zhu Yuan?" Bai Zhenlong sat there at the old god, looking at Zhu Yuan, looking at his nose and nose.
Zhu Yuan felt very wronged, he didn't want to participate in the city council at all, but Captain Lelina informed him that he had to participate, just participate, he was ready to be passers-by to the end, but Bai Zhenlong didn't want him to be satisfied, so Zhu Yuan said almost with resentment:
"Is there a conflict between the early start of the qualifying round and the immediate construction of the city? Can't it be done at the same time? ”
Zhu Yuan's rhetorical question made Bai Zhenlong obviously stunned, and Wei Yunpeng and the others also looked sideways slightly, and Lu Zhan asked in a hesitant tone: "In this way, who will be the guardian of the city?" ”
"The sub-urban area has its own escort team, and the main urban area has a guard corps, which is enough for a short time." Zhu Yuan said.
"But the city oven needs to be guarded by the guards." Lu Zhan said, but his tone was much weaker, because he himself thought that the problem of the city oven guards could allow the guards who did not participate in the competition, and even he himself could guard them himself.
"Okay, good, just do it." Bai Zhenlong sat on the head and moved his body and said:
"Qualifying and sub-city construction began at the same time, the qualifying competition mode was simplified, and the knockout game was carried out, with a venue in the east, west, south and north, two by two, the winner was promoted, and the loser was eliminated.
The eliminated ones are ranked according to the points of this year's escort team, with the first to sixth places as the pilot guards, the eighth to thirteenth places as the oven guards, and the rest as the city guards. ”
After Bai Zhenlong finished speaking, he looked at everyone again, and Wei Yunpeng, who was in the first seat on the right, nodded and added: "Among the same batch of eliminators, they are ranked by points, but if it involves the battle for the name of the escort team, it needs to be eliminated again." ”
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Wei Yunpeng gave an example: "For example, if one of the four squads eliminated in the same batch wants to be demoted to the City Guard, then it can only be carried out in the form of elimination, and the last place cannot be taken according to the point ranking." ”
After thinking about it for a while, everyone found that this was indeed the case, and they all echoed it:
"I see."
"It's for the best."
"I agree."
