Chapter 957: Chapter 591: Troops Approach_2

A month of safety time had ended, and his injuries had not yet healed. In the coming period, this territory would face its most severe challenge.

Lord: Xu Yang

Territory Civilization: Yellow Turban

Territory Buildings: Yellow Turban Camp x1, Yellow Turban Training Ground x5, Fish Market Pier x10, Wu Da Restaurant x1, Logging Yard x1, Mining Field x1, Blacksmith Shop x10, Jin Country’s Blacksmith Shop x1, Jurchen Pasture x3, Water Well x40, Tower x200, City Wall x3200, City Gate x4, Farmland x300, Fish Farm x200, Residential Houses x1000.

Territory Troops: 7965 (2235 Elite Yellow Turban Army, 100 Heroic Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers, 100 Heroic Yellow Turban Gunners, 3000 Elite Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers, 2000 Elite Yellow Turban Gunners, 90 Historical Battle Mulan Archers, 210 Elite Mulan Archers, 200 Elite Mulan Cavalry, 30 Elite Wu Da Cooks)

Territory Resources: 285,000 Food (115,000 Salted Fish, 135,000 Wheat, 3,000 Steamed Cakes, 4,800 Wu Da’s Pancakes, 200 Secret Recipe Wu Da’s Pancakes), 2,500 Wood, 1,200 Stone, 1,100 Iron Ingots, 7,850 Grass, 1,000 Spirit Stones.

…

In one month, the development of the territory, if not complete upheaval, was rapid and dramatic.

First, on the construction side, five Yellow Turban Training Ground barracks buildings were added, as well as Fish Market Pier, Farmland, Residential Houses, Blacksmith Shop, and Pasture, which significantly boosted economic buildings.

Nowadays, not only was the core “Inner Island Base” bustling with buildings, but even the “Outer City” beyond the water’s edge was thriving, with numerous residential houses, water wells, blacksmith shops forming clusters, and four 800-meter-wide city walls creating a fortress, topped by two hundred intimidating towers with Crossbow Cannons.

Whether it was civil facilities, military buildings, or city defense, all had reached a considerable level.

That was the construction side, now looking at the territory troops.

Because of Hua Mulan’s “Substitute for Father”, the recruitment quantity of all basic buildings in the territory was doubled. Therefore, Xu Yang maxed out the recruitment and training queue over the last month and began a vigorous “troop explosion” plan.

The eventual result was nearly eight thousand territory troops, among them in the Yellow Turban series were three thousand Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers, two thousand Yellow Turban Gunners, whose combat power was weak; however, after being rewarded with food and promoted to Elite Rank, they proved somewhat useful. In addition, there were two hundred “Heroic” Yellow Turban troops and over two thousand Yellow Turban Army as reserve forces, ready to be thrown into battle at a critical moment.

Apart from the Yellow Turban Army, Hua Mulan’s Heroic Female Guards were also well trained, with 90 Historical Battle Mulan Archers being the result of the last conquest of the territory, and the remaining 210 Mulan Archers and freshly trained Mulan Cavalry also reached Elite Level under her training.

Unquestionably, Hua Mulan and her Heroic Female Guards would become the primary force in defending the territory.

Regrettably, unlike Civilization Units, Personal Guard Species were limited by the hero’s troop command number and could not be trained indefinitely; otherwise, if he could raise a few thousand Heroic Female Guards, his territory would be utterly secure.

Those were Hua Mulan’s Heroic Female Guards, as for Wu Da’s “Fire Head Army”, influenced by his touching Charm as a Hero, currently only numbered thirty, and as a First-tier Territory, he could build only one restaurant building, so they could not expand or need to join the battlefield.

Yellow Turban Army, Mulan Army, these were the only two forces Xu Yang could rely on.

Lastly, looking at the resource reserves, because a lot of Fish Farms and Farmlands were built, making full use of the hundred miles of water bodies and vast grassland, Xu Yang’s food resources were very sufficient.

On the contrary, there was a shortage of Wood, Stone, and Iron Ingots, as he had to use the spoils from the last territory battle and even Mobilization Resources for Civilization Wonders to construct city defenses.

There was no choice, as the next three months would be the most challenging time for his territory. Without the present, there would be no future, hence Xu Yang decisively invested.

The result of the investment was the eight hundred meters wide, over ten meters high city walls, and two hundred towers on the walls.

With such city defenses, such troops, at the First-tier level, not to mention three months, defending for three years would not be difficult.

But as the saying goes, fame brings trouble as pigs fear getting fat.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

Reputation List, Newcomer List!

Like this…

“The Demon Abyss Lord Augustus has issued a Conquest Order (Designated) to attack your territory!”

“The Demon Abyss Lord Augustus has issued a Conquest Order (Legion) to launch a joint attack on your territory!”

“The Demon Abyss Lord Zhao Wuji has issued a Conquest Order (Alliance) to join the war!”

“The Demon Abyss Lord Adams has issued a Conquest Order (Alliance) to join the war!”

“The enemy’s Conquest Order (Legion) is of top quality First Order, and you must use two hundred ordinary Conquest Orders or fifty Rare Conquest Orders to resist this attack.”

“The number of Conquest Orders is insufficient, war defense failed, and the enemy legion will arrive at your territory in three hours. Please prepare your defenses.”

…

The cold voice from the Sky-reaching Tower came, making Xu Yang frown without uttering a second word and head towards the Yellow Turban Camp.

As previously mentioned, the more famous you are, the more you attract attention!

The Newcomer List and Reputation List, being openly observed by countless people, are diligently studied by various forces and many Lords.

What are they studying?

Of course, which persimmons are soft and which Lords can be easily controlled.

Now, Xu Yang had become a soft persimmon in the eyes of others.

Because his “ranking up” was simply too fast: he had just left the newbie safety period and was already in the 9000s on the Newcomer List. Then, by helping Zhang Yan defend the city, he earned a large number of rewards, weapons, equipment, troop Heroes, you name it, and jumped directly to the 8000s on the list.

That alone would have been fine, but in the end he captured a territory and killed two Lords, obtaining two Second Order Legendary Equipment and a large number of spoils of war. While other newcomer Lords were still defending against attacks from established Lords, he completed his territory expansion, which sky-rocketed his ranking on the Newcomer List to the 3000s.

Although the Lords who make it onto the list are “one in a billion,” the gap between them isn’t that large; but jumping from eight thousand to three thousand was too exaggerated. Such a leap in ranking, generally speaking, is only possible if one encounters a major opportunity or conquers a powerful territory.

Whether it’s a major opportunity or the takeover of a powerful territory, one must pay a great price. Otherwise, the Sky-reaching Tower wouldn’t grant a month of safety time for recovery.

So, Xu Yang, who rose rapidly on the Newcomer List, directly became a target for the surrounding powers. As soon as his safe period ended, powerful Lords used precious Designated Expedition Orders and Legion Expedition Orders to wage legion wars against his territory.

Xu Yang checked the Reputation Ranking of the Demon Abyss and found that all three were on the list. Among them, “Augustus” ranked in the 6000s, with the remaining “Zhao Wuji” and “Adams” also in the 7000s.

They were treating him like a piece of fat meat that must be swallowed whole.

Although he was prepared, Xu Yang decisively sought reinforcements in face of such a formation.

However…

Moments later, with a flash of white light, four people—along with Xu Yang—appeared in the Yellow Turban Camp.

Zhang Yan and Feng Cheng!

He had only managed to bring two reinforcements.

There was no helping it; prior to the recovery of his memory, his personal connections were just ordinary. Facing a joint attack from those ranked over 6000 and 7000 on the Reputation List, who would have the courage to extend a helping hand to him?

As for the major powers, although they had their designs, most wanted to take advantage of the situation, or even harbored ill intentions; Xu Yang didn’t bother wasting time with them.

Thus, in the end, it was only the friendly assistance of Zhang Yan and Feng Cheng.

But it didn’t matter; Xu Yang never relied too much on others; it was just about doing his duty.

Looking at the territory Xu Yang had built, Feng Cheng was as shocked as ever, while Zhang Yan remained unfazed, releasing her troop Heroes—Great Song’s Heavy Armored Infantry and Crossbow Archers, and a fifty-man Beiwei Army.

Aside from the troops, beside her was a silver-robed and armored young general—a Epic Hero, Yue Yun!

Even Feng Cheng had brought along a Rare Hero and a Civilization Unit. Although he didn’t have special troops, he was considered outstanding among ordinary Lords.

Clearly, he wasn’t the only one who had progressed during this time.

Seeing the Heroes and soldiers brought by the two, Xu Yang didn’t say much and immediately assigned them tasks, positioning them on the eastern city wall.

In this manner…

“The preparation time is over, enemy troops have arrived!”

“Enemy Lord ‘Augustus’ has activated the special skill—Soldiers Under the City!”

“Your territory has entered the ‘Soldiers Under the City’ state, unable to enter or exit the Sky-reaching Tower, all production buildings lose their effects, and all troop species lose 1-5 Morale points daily.”
