(The third watch, there will be another watch later.) Today, I will send out a few grid drawings drawn in excel, which are estimated to be available to you on Monday, just for reference. ）

For the first time, I breathed the fresh air of the morning in the dream of power, and even though it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the subtropical East China Sea region was still full of greenery. The mountains in the distance are green, the flowers and fruits are fragrant in the near distance, the branches in the high places are fruitful, and the flowers and plants in the low places are purple and red.

Along the way, if it weren't for the ravages of bandits and the loss of population, the East China Sea area would indeed be a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers. In the dream, there is an indescribable feeling of comfort in people's hearts, and the long-standing depression has dissipated a lot at this moment. To be honest, if you don't have to face the pressure of death in the dream world, this is not a good space to relax.

After eating and drinking, the villager volunteers who signed up yesterday went to Donghai Town to report to Elder Shui Xuan on their own, while the Donghai team continued to go north to other villages.

With the experience of the first village, the next group followed this pattern and walked from village to village as if they were in a hurry. But even then, I only visited four villages. After walking in this circle, it was already the afternoon of the fourth day when I had visited the last village four hundred and fifty miles away.

Along the way, the team visited a total of 12 villages. Due to the large population of villages in this area, with an average of about 300 villagers, more than 900 people have already moved to Donghai Nine Villages. Even if you don't consider the southern road that Elder Tuwu is responsible for, it is already overfulfilled the task.

However, Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi did not have any happy expressions. In their opinion, the density of villages within a radius of 500 miles in the East China Sea is too low, and even in this relatively prosperous area, it takes an average of 30 miles to reach the next village, which can only be described as desolate compared to the real world.

Although they seem to have solved the imminent problem of the nine villages in the East China Sea, in fact it is just a practice of tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall, and it has not fundamentally changed the big problem of population shortage. Especially thinking of what Dong'er said, with the territory area of Donghai Town, at least 10,000 local armed forces must be maintained to keep the peace of the party, let alone expand the border.

"With the ratio of five villagers to one soldier, we must increase the population of Donghai Town's territory to more than 50,000 in a short period of time." Sima Fuqiang had to tell his teammates about this fact.

======================== the dividing line between dream and reality =======================

After resting for the night in the farthest village, the Tokai team set out on their way back. On the way, they spent the night in one of the villages, and in this way, on the afternoon of the sixth day, the dream people finally returned to the fifty-mile radius of Donghai Town.

What catches my eye is a construction scene in full swing. Thanks to the efforts of the villagers of Tokai Nine Village and the outlying villages that arrived in advance, the moat has been dug and will be filled with water when the town guard returns. At this time, the villagers were transporting large stones from the mountain to be used to build the city wall.

The eight gates have even been completed in the south, but the walls between them have not yet been built. According to Elder Shui Xuan, two of the villagers who are good at carpentry work are erecting drawbridges and gates at the city gates, and according to Elder Shui Xuan, two of them have good skills and will stay in the town's carpentry shop as master carpenters in the future.

In the dream, people were still inspecting the construction outside the moat, but Wu Qiang, the commander of the town guard, hurriedly ran over, his face full of anxiety.

"Could you please take a step forward from the town guard?" Wu Qiang hinted that there were many people here, and it was not a place to talk.

Sima Fuqiang could basically guess what he wanted to say, but he still nodded, "Let's go to the command post and talk about it." ”

Elder Shui Xuan suggested, "The Town Guard's Mansion has been renovated, and your lord's Donghai Town Topographic Sand Table has also been moved from the old house, you might as well go there to talk about things, it will be more convenient." "It seems that the old man already knows something.

It doesn't matter where you go, it's what kind of outcome you can talk about. Both the dream man and Wu Qiang accepted the proposal and immediately rushed to the town guard mansion.

Except for Huang Zhi and Zhang Wei, the rest of the team members didn't need to come together, but when they heard that the town guard mansion had been renovated and would be the new station of the Donghai team in the future, they all rushed over to have fun. Of course, what Wu Qiang wants to say is just that he doesn't want the villagers to know, but there is nothing to keep secret from the "adults".

After entering the town guard's mansion, Sima Fuqiang walked directly to his big sand table and asked, "Say, when will the bandits attack?" ”

Wu Qiang couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and his mouth couldn't close for a long time.

"What about you, besides, this time the bandits are attacking all the way, right?" Huang Zhi saw that he was still in a daze, so he had to remind him.

At this time, Zhang Wei also looked at the sand table made by Sima Fuqiang with great interest, he had just returned to this team last week, and he had not had time to take a good look at the painstaking work of the captain of the East China Sea.

As for the rest of the team members, they didn't care what Wu Qiang had to say, anyway, these things had their own captain and Huang Zhi to worry about, and they took advantage of the freshness to start visiting their new station.

After Huang Zhi's reminder, Wu Qiang came back to his senses, and couldn't help but look at the town guard and the deputy Cheng with an extremely admiring look, and before he could say a word, the two of them could guess the information to seven or eight points. Also following the three dreamers to the sand table, he pointed to the official road south of Donghai Town.

"According to the report of the spies I sent out to patrol, this time the bandit alliance has learned the lesson of the last time when the troops were scattered and broken by each one, and this time they plan to meet all the way and attack Donghai Town from the official road to the south. As for the timing, because the bandits are short of horses, according to our estimates, it will be three days at the earliest. ”

Wu Qiang looked at the sand table with a bitter face and continued to report the situation. "It's a pity that our wall can't be completed in three days, at least six days, and I'm afraid it won't be able to resist this wave of bandits. Therefore, the subordinates thought that we could only take the initiative to attack, but I am afraid that the casualties would be very large at that time. ”

Looking at the terrain sand table around Donghai Town that he had made vividly, Sima Fuqiang nodded approvingly, "Your idea is good, we should take the initiative to attack, but there may not be casualties." ”

Huang Zhi also stared at the jungle between the southwest and southern villages on the sand table, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "That's right, not only are there no casualties, I'm afraid it's still a great opportunity to wipe out the bandits!"

Wu Qiang looked at the two adults with a blank face, he knew that he was definitely not as good a country man as the two adults who knew the art of war, but was the current situation as good as they said? Having given up the defensive advantage of the town, would it be easier to attack? If the bandits are so easy to fight, the last time the bandits attacked, why did Donghai Town defend so hard? He had too many questions.

Zhang Wei followed the gaze of the two of them and also aimed at the jungle, and nodded understandingly.

Let Wu Qiangan continue to track the movements of the bandits, and Sima Fuqiang went to Elder Shui Xuan to prepare some things.

After all these things were done, they felt a wave of fatigue hit them. It's always dark in Tokai Town, which makes people feel sleepy. But if you count the time, it is almost dusk outside the town, and it should be the time for the villagers to finish their work. Captain Tokai pulled his reluctant teammates out of town together.

"Captain, the bandits are coming, aren't they? What exactly did you think of about it? Don't sell it, tell us! Xiaofeng was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, like a monkey.

The more this is the case, the more Sima Fuqiang refuses to tell him, "You be quiet, there are many people here, if the villagers hear it, it will affect their mood at work." As for countermeasures, if you think of it yourself, you will definitely think of it. This is the so-called 'familiar war history for 5,000 years, don't take care of you're too pitiful!' ’”

Xiaofeng almost foamed at the mouth, "Captain, you bully people, and you didn't say that last time, you said, 'Familiar with the Three Kingdoms several times, you can't plan and deceive!'" ’”

"Isn't that the same thing, if you go back and read more books, you'll know what I'm going to do." Sima Fuqiang recently discovered that instead of being tortured by Xiaofeng's pig brain, it was better to hang his appetite in turn to make people happy.

Wanyue couldn't look at it, and helped divert the topic, "Captain, so are we going to camp outside the town for three days and wait for the bandits to attack?" ”

"Yes, that's it." For the waning moon to be able to predict his own arrangement, Captain Tokai is quite satisfied.

At night, the members of the Donghai team set up a few tents in the temporary stronghold of the villagers outside the town, and this is not the time to enjoy it, especially after three days, there will be bandits.

In the dream, people camped outside the town in order not to be sent back to the real world, but the villagers thought that the town keeper had come to share their weal and woe, and they were naturally moved.

However, Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi were sad, because they received a message when they woke up in the morning.

The voice that had always only appeared in his head came again, leaving behind a very headache-inducing sentence, "Dream man, please note that you have stayed in the power dream for six full days, please return to the real world through Donghai Town within twenty-four hours, otherwise you will be erased and punished for not returning within the time limit." ”

The message itself isn't scary, as Team Tokai is currently outside the town and ready to return to the real world. But the question is whether the bandits will attack in three days, and the next time they enter the power dream will be Thursday night, whether they can deal with the bandits in time.

For this reason, the two immediately rushed to consult Dong'er. The answer they received finally relieved them, and every time the dreamer returned to the power dream, only twelve hours had passed, not two days in the real world.

Dong'er also knows the seven-day stay time limit of the person in the dream. She even ridiculed the two of them for this, "You don't want to take advantage of the indefinite extension of the stay time to exploit the loophole of the imperial court's 'edict', right?" ”

Huang Zhilao's face flushed, he did have this idea. The original text of the "edict" last weekend read: "The border protection of Donghai Town will be canceled in the next dream of hegemony, and it will be added to the territory of Dongzhou at that time." "In other words, before the advent of the Zhou Dream Realm, Donghai Town will always be protected, and the Donghai team can move freely within the territory, which can undoubtedly make as many preparations as possible for the opening of the border.

"Let's put it this way, the Imperial Court only allows D-rank Dream People to stay in this world for seven days at a time. In other words, even if you delay as long as possible, the border protection of Tokai Town will be lifted in a month. When the time comes, the garrisons stationed at the border checkpoints from the state capital will definitely be withdrawn to the state capital. Dong'er once again fulfilled her duties as a herald of the imperial court, and dealt a cruel blow to Huang Zhi's unrealistic dreams.

"A month...... It's better than four days. Huang Zhi sighed.

But this woman is really, such an important information didn't remind the dreamer at the first time, in case the East China Sea team can't come back within a day, wouldn't it be erased all the members. Thinking of this, Huang Zhi broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems that this woman is not so reliable, after all, she still has the identity of a royal court herald, she is the bridge between this world and the dream person, and it is also a nail planted by the royal court next to the dream person.

Sima Fuqiang also regretted his carelessness, just because this woman's surname was smiling, which actually made the two big men easily believe that she was on the side of the dream man, and even lost the basic vigilance.

It seems that this incident is not a good thing, giving the two decision-makers of the Tokai team a timely warning not to trust anyone in this world. Even those elders may not be reliable, don't look at the way they are now obedient to the words of the town guard, who knows if these old people will become enemies once they are involved in some secrets of the power dream.

"Anyway, this is still just a dream world, and the natives here are still just people who have nothing to do with me. What should have been done in the first place, it will be the same in the future. There are only interests, only exploitation, and there are no feelings! Huang Zhi said this to himself in his heart.

had to recruit Wu Qiang again, arranged the corresponding task for the town guard to meet the bandits two days later, and by the way, he also revealed the battle plan to the town guard commander who had racked his brains all night, so as to avoid the embarrassment that it might not be too late to arrange it at that time.

After seven days, the East China Sea team temporarily left the power dream realm.

(At the beginning of the third night, there was another war.) There will be a more update later. ）
