In the middle of the fourth night, return to Donghai Town

This trip back to Donghai Town, more than a month has passed in Dongzhou, and two war dreams have passed, and the dream people of the Donghai team have ushered in a peak of skill upgrades.

Huang Zhi's "archery", Zhang Wei's "body method", Xiaofeng's "speed", Wanyue's "hammer method", as well as Wuyang's "down-to-earth" and "knife technique", there are six skills that need to be upgraded to the C rank, which is an expense of up to 24,000 points. If you count Li Sha's "archery" skills, Yu will also be promoted to the D rank, Xiao Qi needs to learn the "body method" skill to use with "stealth", and some miscellaneous supplies, which is a huge expense of nearly 30,000 points.

Since Xiao Qi is a supernumerary player, he cannot enjoy the benefits of free transfer of points from his teammates, so he can only rely on the points he earned from sharing the results of the East China Sea team when he participated in the war dream to buy and upgrade skills for himself. The only way his teammates can take care of him is to buy some supplies for him and reduce his point burden. In this way, Xiao Qi, who had unknowingly experienced five war dreams, finally saved up enough 1,000 points needed to learn the "body method".

After learning this skill, combined with the exclusive skill "Stealth" and the combat skill "Dagger", he finally became a qualified assassin, and although he may still be a little weak against opponents above the D rank, he will no longer be able to face three ordinary rebel soldiers and almost die.

Everyone is far less expectant of Li Sha's combat power than she is for her "healing" ability, but it doesn't hurt to be able to increase her combat power a little. Anyway, with Huang Zhizai, her "archery" skills should be able to grow steadily, and as for when she can catch up with her teammates, it is only a matter of time. Because it is difficult to pass after the skill reaches the B rank, no matter how few shots Li Sha makes, he will catch up with his teammates sooner or later.

The real highlight is the improvement of the six C-rank skills, which is a huge expense that has consumed all the points that the Tokai team has worked so hard to accumulate, including those captured from the Peninsula team, otherwise there will be people waiting in line to improve on Saturday.

Since Huang Zhi has mastered the skill of "scattering arrows", after accumulating enough proficiency, it is a matter of course for him to improve the rank of "archery" skills. And after this skill was upgraded to the C rank, Huang Zhi's arm strength and accuracy and other abilities rose to a new level, and the one-stone bow could already be used like an arm command. If he continues to practice with Wanyue for a while, I'm afraid he will be able to challenge the hard bow with one and a half stones, and if he persists, as long as he masters the "supersonic arrow" or some other new skill, his "archery" skill can go further.

Zhang Wei is always in hand-to-hand combat when fighting, so his "body method" skill is the first to reach the C rank, between the movements and rolls, the body is as elusive as a loach, and when passing through the crowd, his teammates can barely touch his body.

"Let's try?" Xiaofeng's "body method" proficiency is also very high, and he is expected to become the next C-rank person, and he can't help but be curious in his heart at this moment, and wants to try it with Zhang Wei.

A group of people came to the school field of the original town guard team and asked the two to have a discussion to see how effective the C-rank "body method" was. Zhang Wei didn't turn his nails into claws, while Xiaofeng took a wooden sword for practice. Judging from the combat strength of the two, Xiaofeng would definitely not be able to defeat Zhang Wei in actual combat, so Sima Fuqiang stipulated that as long as Xiaofeng's wooden sword could, he would be considered victorious.

After giving the order, the two quickly approached each other, neither of them was a long-range shooter, and there was little point in keeping a distance. Although Xiaofeng can launch a "speed" and launch a high-speed charge at Zhang Wei, this kind of trick is okay to use to sneak attack opponents who don't know the details, and it is not very clever to use it to deal with teammates who know him well, not to mention that the opponent at this time is Zhang Wei, the first combat force of the East China Sea team.

After the two approached a certain distance, Zhang Wei suddenly approached Xiaofeng with an arrow step, which was also his usual trick - getting close and then cutting his throat.

The first time he fought with Zhang Wei as his opponent, Xiaofeng was also taken aback by this extremely aggressive style of play, and hurriedly retreated, taking the wooden sword in his hand forward. This sword is also designed according to Zhang Wei's usual method, after all, everyone knows the roots.

The standard process of Zhang Wei's throat cutting is like this, first short and half squat, and then there are two offensive routines according to the opponent's defense. One is to roll forward on the spot, and then get up in front of the opponent and cut his throat; The other jumped out directly by the explosive force of the lower limbs, and went straight to the opponent's arms and cut his throat.

Xiaofeng's wooden sword slashed diagonally downward, although it couldn't stop Zhang Wei's throat-cutting routine at all, he could stab the other party before he was hit by his throat. According to the rules set by the captain, then he wins.

If it was in the past, Zhang Wei should have thrown himself into the wooden sword at this time and was "heroically wounded". And because Xiaofeng's backward speed is no less than that of ordinary people running forward, he should basically return in vain.

But at this moment, the effect of the C-rank "body method" was reflected, Zhang Wei actually changed the action of going up to continue to rush forward halfway, and at the same time grabbed Xiaofeng's arm holding the wooden sword with his left hand and pulled him back.

Xiao Feng watched in horror as his neck was held in Zhang Wei's right palm, if this was not a friendly exchange between teammates, he would have slit his throat at this moment, and blood was spurting wildly.

Xiao Feng, who was the most flexible, was defeated, and the others had no chance to hurt Zhang Wei's hair. With the "body method" of the C rank, Zhang Wei's fighting method of exchanging injuries for injuries in the future will be a little "ineffective", because opponents below the C rank are likely to not be able to attack him at all.

Lisa welcomed the result, saying she didn't want her "healing" skills to be based on the pain of her teammates. And with the war in the Eastern Navy in full swing, she doesn't have so much time to continue to be this guy's full-time military doctor, and there are still many rebel prisoners of war in Dongguan who need her to treat at this time.

Now, for Lisa, the only bottleneck that restricts her from using her "healing" skills is physical fitness, otherwise after a battle, just treating the wounded will be enough to accumulate the proficiency required for her exclusive skills to improve her skill rank.

Xiaofeng is more depressed, his "agility" is now also C-rank, and the "speed" effect in the C-state is to increase speed by 350%. But he was completely defeated in the hands of Zhang Wei in this way, which made him eager to improve his "body method" rank. In the absence of short legs in the "body style", the "agility" exclusive skill can play the best effect.

The new C effect "Fatal" is used in conjunction with the D effect "Weakness Attack", which has a 1% chance to produce a "Fatal" effect when hitting the opponent's weakness. Although the probability of this effect is still quite low for the time being, it also makes Xiaofeng's attack power go up to a higher level, so that he will not always have to rely on sneak attacks to mix up food. It is believed that as the proficiency increases, the probability of "fatal" appearing will also increase.

Since the waning moon was assigned by Pei Xingyan, the "hammer method" skill can be said to have accumulated and steadily improved in actual combat, and the skill expansion of "turning reality into virtuality" that he appreciated successfully reached the conditions required to improve the rank. At this time, if he confronts Li Erhu again, it will be difficult for the other party to repel even if he continues his usual surname to attack the waning moon.

Naturally, the most benefited this time is Wuyang, who has been promoted by "down-to-earth" and "knife skills". In addition to the two effects of "Steadfast" and "Perseverance", the C effect of "Down-to-earth" is "Resistance", which can counterattack back with a certain chance when the opponent attacks you. In the current C- state, the chance of "Revolt" will be activated is 5%.

There is nothing special about the "Knife Technique" of the C rank, which is the same as Huang Zhi's "Archery Technique" and the "Hammer Technique" of the Wanyue Moon, which requires full proficiency, 4,000 points, and a skill expansion. It's just that the "knife technique" has the least change among all weapons, and it is almost a chopping way, so it is the fastest to get started, but it is not easy to practice to a high and profound realm. Fortunately, Wuyang is only going to improve the C rank at present, and he will not be stuck at this stage for the time being, and the powerful but simple and practical "Force Splitting Huashan" skill expansion has reached the necessary conditions for promotion.

The problem of skills has been solved, but the dream man is not in a hurry to rush back to the front line of Weidongguan, after all, it is really hard to rush all night without stopping, and everyone needs to rest for a day before they can rush again. Sima Fuqiang took this opportunity to pay attention to the development of Donghai Town, mainly the resettlement of refugees in Wei County, and the development of the conscription work in the territory of Zhao Meng's Department of the Eastern Navy, which returned to the town ahead of schedule.

Huang Zhi followed the captain to the Council of Elders first, and the elders were obviously a little unprepared for the sudden return of the Dream Man, but Dong'er did not feel any surprise, as if she had been following the Donghai team all along.

"Congratulations to the two adults!" Elder Tuwu, who was in charge of the population, happily surrendered his hand to the two of them.

"Because of the population?" Huang Zhi immediately thought of what he wanted to say from the scope of the other party's duties.

Elder Tuwu has long been accustomed to the sensitivity of the person in his dreams, and he doesn't care, "It's the matter of population, after you lords led the Eastern Navy to successfully take Weidongguan, not only did the refugees from Weixian County pour in, but the confidence of the displaced people in Lianxin County in our East China Sea territory also increased greatly. Now that the population of the East China Sea Territory has exceeded the 20,000 mark, the old decay has scattered these people and distributed them to various villages, and now there is a prosperous scene everywhere, which makes people overjoyed! ”

"Oh, twenty thousand!" Sima Fuqiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he had new worries, "Land and houses are not a problem, we have many empty houses and wasteland in the East China Sea." But is there a problem with food? There were so many people all of a sudden, but they couldn't be starved. ”

Elder Tuwu hadn't thought about this question about the captain of the East China Sea, and he was a little stunned when he heard this, "Most of these homeless people or refugees came to my East China Sea territory, and most of them brought some rations that were enough for a short period of time. And we allocate them land and houses, as long as they plant some fast-maturing crops in time, and then cut back on food and clothing, they should be able to get by. ”

Huang Zhi shook his head, "This is not good, these people came to our East China Sea in order to live a good life, if they still can't eat enough, not to mention whether they will starve to death because of this, if it causes public security problems in various villages, it will not be worth the loss." ”

"What do you mean by opening a warehouse for food relief?" Elder Tuwu was taken aback.

"That's right!" That's what Sima Fuqiang meant, "Didn't we just grab a batch of grain and grass from Weinancang, although it's not a lot, it's enough for these people to eat for ten days and half a month, plus their own rations, it will be easier to get the first harvest." If these are not enough, let Zhu Gui use the proceeds from selling salt to buy some grain and come back. In short, we must ensure that all the people living in our East China Sea territory have enough food and clothing. ”

Elder Tuwu's eyes were already red when he heard this, and he was speechless for a long time. However, Elder Shui Xuan, who had been listening quietly behind him, stood up, "The two adults are really noble! We old things have lived in this Dongzhou land for generations, and we have never met such a master as adults, who love the people like sons so much, and can serve you, which is really a blessing from the ancestors! Let's thank you for the 20,000 people in the East China Sea! ”

Under his leadership, the five elders of the Council of Elders bowed deeply to the two dreamers in front of them at the same time.

Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang hurriedly persuaded these old men. Then they discussed with the elders some principles for how to distribute food, and the two slowly left the council of elders.

"Wait, you're ignoring me?" Dong'er chased after the two and called.

This woman can't be provoked, so Sima Fuqiang hurriedly signaled Huang Zhi to deal with it.

Huang Zhi was also afraid of this woman, so he could only turn his head and talk, "How dare you, how dare you, we are in a hurry to find Zhao Meng to see if the security situation in Donghai Town is okay." Since Miss Dong'er suddenly stopped us, there must be something to order? ”

Dong'er glanced at him when he heard this, "It's really boring to talk to you, so you can guess it." I'm looking for you for something. ”

At this time, Sima Fuqiang turned around and made a look of listening carefully.

Dong'er looked at the two of them in a businesslike posture, and had no choice but to get down to business, "The last time I announced the edict at Weidongguan and allowed the East China Sea to erect a banner into an army, that matter is not over yet." ”

"Oh? What is there to keep in hand? Sima Fuqiang asked puzzled.

"The Eastern Navy has been established, but what is your military establishment? What is the style of the military flag? These must be reported, and I will return to the imperial court. ”

Huang Zhi couldn't answer this question, so he could only look at the captain and wait for him to answer.

Sima Fuqiang thought for a moment, "The Eastern Navy is organized into a battalion of five hundred people, with a commander general. ”

Dong'er nodded, "Yes, the imperial court currently allows the Eastern Navy to set up ten battalions, and you can appoint civil and military officials below the rank of Captain Zhaowu of the Sixth Rank without reporting." ”

Sima Fuqiang continued, "Ten battalions, the Eastern Navy does not have so many troops for the time being. However, if our team's rank continues to improve in the future, presumably the Imperial Court will give us room to expand our army. ”

In his plan, Zhao Meng's Department of the Eastern Navy, that is, the garrison of the Eastern Navy, was responsible for the local defense of Donghai Town for a long time. The Wuqiang Department of Weidongguan is the first battalion of the Eastern Navy, and the Chen Chuang Department is the second battalion, and one or two battalions will be expanded according to the situation.

"As for the military flag of the Eastern Navy, it has a blue background and white borders, and there is a '東' character in the center." The style of this military flag was also determined by Sima Fuqiang according to the style of the ancient military flag, mainly according to the characteristics of the Eastern Navy. Landi represents the color of the ocean, and the white edge is the color of the waves, as for the traditional character "東" in the middle, it naturally represents the East China Sea team, the East China Sea Town, and the East China Navy.

"'East'? Hee-hee, isn't that my army? After finishing the matter, Dong'er joked again.

Regarding Dong'er's somewhat cold joke, Sima Fuqiang couldn't answer. He had to answer no, and he was afraid of provoking the woman to rise; If the answer is yes, if this woman hits the snake with a stick, the trouble will be even greater. So, silence is golden.

Seeing that the two of them didn't dare to talk, Dong'er couldn't help but sigh, "You two, it's really getting more and more boring." ”

"If it's okay, we'll go." Huang Zhi asked tentatively.

"If you want to go, you can go, but don't regret it." Dong'er pouted, looking very dissatisfied.

has known this woman for a long time, but Huang Zhi has figured out her temper. Dong'er can say this, which means that she has no hidden message to say, and she must take the initiative to ask questions to satisfy her. "Okay, Grandma, we're really busy, and after the things in the town are dealt with, we have to rush to Weidongguan. If you have any other commands, please say them together. ”

Dong'er saw that Huang Zhi had already learned well, so he gave him a blank look, and then said another piece of news, "Because you have treated the refugees who have migrated to the East China Sea and have been recognized by them, the official population of Donghai Town has now reached 20,000 people. The last time you left Donghai Town was a month ago, Dongzhou time, and you just received last month's poll tax. ”

Huang Zhiyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's time to pay your salary again?" ”

"That's right, this month, the Donghai team has received a total of 20,000 points in poll tax, which has been evenly distributed to everyone's point account at the moment, and each person is 2,500 points." This is the news that Dong'er originally stayed to hang his appetite.

Just now I spent all my points because of learning skills, and now I immediately have a lot of points income in my account, and the two can't help but fall in love with this kind of poll tax income policy.

The C-Rank Tokai team currently has one week in the real world and two months in Dongzhou time. In other words, people in their dreams can earn 40,000 points a week from the poll tax of their territory, and they can finally live a prosperous life, and they no longer have to worry about more and more upgrade expenses.

It seems that continuing to absorb the population of Xin County and Wei County is the right way, but according to the financial situation reported by Elder Shui Xuan, the two of them have already emptied Donghai Town's savings by opening a warehouse for grain relief. or wait for the previous group of immigrants to harvest the crops, pay taxes, and refill the treasury of the East China Sea; Either the East China Sea team will have to save money and reduce expenditure, find a way to find money and food from other places, or make a windfall, so that the East China Sea Territory can continue to adopt new refugees.

The two looked at each other for a long time and came to a common conclusion, "Fight!" Let's go rob the rebels! ”
