Chapter 111: The Boundaries of Civilization Are Open
"Ding! System Notice: The borders of the major civilization zones are officially opened on May 1, the second year of the lord calendar, and the NPC forces and player lords of each civilization area can invade other civilization areas. ”
"Ding! From now on, the territorial awareness of NPC forces has been further strengthened, and the desire for expansion has been slightly strengthened. ”
"Ding! Please pay attention to special NPC forces such as mountain barbarians, pirates, and nomadic tribes in each civilization area, as the probability of being invaded by barbarians in major civilization areas increases. ”
When Chu Tian rinsed his mouth with salt water in the Lord's Mansion, he was shocked by the announcement of the system.
Almost at the same time, players in all civilized districts received the news that the civilizational borders were open.
It's not just the opening of civilizational borders that is worth noting, but the various NPC forces also have a desire to expand.
This means more danger.
"It's more confusing now, but it doesn't have much to do with me......
Chu Tian was still fearless.
There is little chance that Xuzhou's location will be invaded by barbarians or other civilizations.
Instead of worrying about the barbarian invasion, it is better to deal with the Tarzan thief force first.
"Mobilize the resources of various villages and towns, and within a month, I will turn Xia Town into a city!"
Chutian found Fang Xuanling and carried out the final sprint of the world's first city.
The resource buildings have reached level 4.
Xia Zhen originally had a first-class iron ore resource, and later discovered a second-class iron ore resource, and two iron ores were being mined at the same time.
Every day, a large amount of timber is transported from all over the country, and Xia Town is building a large number of buildings.
Chu Tian continued to use the savings of the money village to build buildings, and waited for the reward of the first city to come down and then make up for the shortfall.
The wheat harvest is at the end of June, so the labor can only be used until June.
A large number of peasant households were requisitioned by the lord's palace to build various buildings and upgrade existing buildings, in order to increase their prosperity as soon as possible.
Because of the massive expansion of Xia Town's army and the addition of the Willow Battalion, the military bonus also brought a lot of prosperity to Xia Town.
Chu Tian expects to be able to upgrade Xia Zhen to a first-class city within a month, and Xia Zhen will be more easy to defend and difficult to attack at that time.
In Nanhai County, Jiaozhou, Eastern Han District (in the area of Guangzhou), a fourth-class wooden boat was ready.
The lord brought the members of the guild to see off the ship.
"Good brother, if you can safely bring Champa rice back from Annan District, then I will make you the lord of a city. I think that by that time, I had already occupied quite a few counties in Nanhai County. ”
"Don't worry, I know the language over there, and there will be absolutely no difference. As long as I don't encounter a storm at sea, I will definitely bring Champa rice back to our Eastern Han District. ”
"There you go. Although I heard that the monkeys in Annam District wanted to block the export of Champa rice, they would gladly sell us the seeds of Champa rice as long as they paid bribes to the officials of Da Viet State. Once the grain production of our Nanhai County increases, we can feed more soldiers and horses, and Jiaozhou is our sphere of influence. At that time, whether we go north to Jing and Yang, or go south to attack Da Yue, we will have the possibility of chasing the Central Plains. ”
The lord of Nanhai County had high hopes for this fourth-level wooden ship and the free players in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Obtaining Champong rice from Annan District can increase grain production in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At the same time, the lords who sent ships were also a little selfish, wanting to plant in their own territory first, and then sell the seeds to other lords in the Eastern Han region at a high price.
He wasn't the only one who thought so, but there were definitely not many lords who had the ability to build a fourth-class ship and had the courage to send someone on an adventure right now.
As long as he seizes the opportunity, he can become the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty to obtain Champa rice.
Risk is proportional to reward.
The fourth-class wooden sailing boat left the Pearl River basin with a dense water network and sailed towards the Great Yue Kingdom in Annam District.
The ancient Maritime Silk Road began to take shape because of the opening of the borders of the civilization zone.
Where there are people, there will be trade.
"Jiaozhou is far away from the war in the Central Plains, and the opponents encountered are not strong, as long as there are one or two strong historical generals, it is easy to occupy this place. It's a pity that I only have Su Zhang, the famous general of the Southern Han Dynasty, and his divine crossbow army. It's not enough......"
This lord watched the wooden sailing ship he sent leave Nanhai County, and began to lay out, chasing the deer to the state.
Huo An, who had a friendship with Chutian in Guangzong County, led a team of cavalry from the Western Regions to inspect the borders of his territory.
"Damn, the opening of the borders of the civilization zone has not had much impact on the Western Regions Protectorate, but the expansion desire of the NPC forces has strengthened, and the impact on the Western Regions Protectorate is too great, and there are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions here! The person who designed this mechanic, your uncle's! ”
Hoan yelled in the vast oasis.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions is one of the birthplaces of players in the Eastern Han Dynasty, while part of the Thirty-Six Countries in the Western Regions is the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and some of them belong to Central Asia. For example, the Dawan Kingdom is in the Ferghana Basin of Central Asia. It can be seen that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expedition to Dawan has already reached Central Asia.
The vast majority of players knew that the civilization border was open on this day, but what they didn't expect was that the opening of the civilization border also brought the possibility of NPC power expansion and barbarian invasion.
For the Protectorate of the Western Regions, which was surrounded by the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, this was simply a disaster.
"Since we have chosen the Western Regions Protectorate, we have the responsibility to defend the border fortress for the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"With the population of the Western Regions Protectorate competing in the Central Plains, the difficulty is hell-level. Unless you unite with the lord of Xiliang, it is possible to enter the Central Plains. ”
"If we enter the Central Plains, who can defend the Western Regions? In case the soldiers of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions or even the distant Shuanggui Empire knock on the jade gate, wouldn't we be sinners? ”
The alliance organized by Hoan, a group of lords in the oasis are noisy and shouting on the guild channel.
There were two ways to develop the Protectorate of the Western Regions, one was to attack some small countries in the Western Regions that had not yet been civilized, and to develop into Central Asia outside the Eastern Han Dynasty. One way is to unite with Xiliang and compete in the Central Plains.
"It's too to chase the Central Plains, the road is difficult and dangerous, and the food can't be supplied at all, what do the pig brains of that group of people think...... No, there is a teleportation array in the Western Regions Protectorate, as long as you pay a sufficient price......"
Huo An reined in his horse and pondered the possibility, but shook his head.
The lords of the Western Regions Protectorate are not few, nor too many, compared to the huge group of lords in the Central Plains, the difference is too far. Chasing the Central Plains will only lose the troops of the Western Regions to protect the country.
"It may be a better way to use the Han army to drive the servant army to expand into Central Asia with the goal of the position of the protector of the Western Regions."
Hoan muttered to himself.
In Xiangping County, Liaodong County, the two guilds fought for control of the eastern part of Xiangping County.
The lord "a small soldier at the border pass at the end of the Ming Dynasty" led thousands of cavalry to chisel through the opponent's flanks, thousands of cavalry melee, Ming general Zu Dashou held a big knife in his hand, and even cut more than a dozen cavalry of the opponent under the horse!
In the Hanzhong Basin, the leader of the Dao raised tens of thousands of believers in Wudou Midao, spread kindness, and used this group of displaced people as laborers to build their own towns.
In the southern county of Jingzhou, a lord led two thousand soldiers and horses to personally conquer the enemy, and said to the generals behind him: "Pan Mei, you lead five hundred soldiers as the vanguard and take the head of the enemy general." ”
