Five consecutive global system announcements made the calm world of Beacon Fire boil instantly, countless players geared up, the major forces reorganized their arms to fight, and the governments that knew part of the inside of Beacon Fire were even more concerned with the attitude of fighting a world war to meet the national war!

Shang Ji, who was far away in Pingzhou, was also slightly stunned, although he had learned the news of the national war from Yan Huang Sharp Blade a year and a half ago, but the official system announcement still surprised Shang Ji.

Hurriedly opened the system log to check the so-called national war update. When I opened it, a dense number of update terms appeared in front of me, and the amount of content far exceeded the sum of the previous two updates.

Looking at the updated content word by word, a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of Shang Ji's mouth. Overall, the benefits of this update outweigh the disadvantages for Pingzhou!

First of all, the content of the national war, with the map scale in the beacon fire, each country is not to mention the national war, and even communication is difficult. Naturally, the system took this into account, so it opened a place called the Death Continent, which was dedicated to national warfare.

Any player, as long as he wishes, can choose to enter the National War Continent after the official start of the National War. However, it should be noted that the reason why the National War Continent is called the Death Continent is, of course, for a reason. If you die in the Continent of Death, all attributes, equipment, skills, characteristics, and exercises will be cleared, and you will directly return to the state of the five scum of war when you first entered the game (resurrection skills and equipment are still valid).

After dying in battle, the player can choose to be resurrected in the National War Continent or in the Beacon World. However, once he chooses to resurrect in the Beacon World, then he will lose the qualification to continue to participate in the national war. In addition, a player can only respawn a maximum of five times in the National War Continent, and after five times, they will be forced to return to the Beacon Continent.

The setting of the Dead Continent may not be very friendly to players, but any player with ambitions will not let go of the opportunity to fight the kingdom. On the Death Continent, the speed of resource output, the speed of army training, the speed of cultivation of exercises, and the speed of construction and production are all three times that of normal!

What's even more crazy is that the speed of time in the Death Continent is different from that of the Beacon World, and every five days in the Death Continent only passes for one day. Combined with the triple rate of development, anyone can see the horror value contained in it.

Each player participating in the War of Nations can carry a different number of troops, depending on the player's reputation. You can carry one attendant/soldier for every 5 reputation points, and less than 5 reputation points will be counted as 5 points.

Seeing this, Shang Ji glanced at his attributes, and the prestige value was 2892877!

With nearly three million prestige points, according to the national war setting, he can carry more than 500,000 troops to participate in the national war.

As for how much there is, there is little information about the national war revealed by the system, how to fight the specific national war, how to calculate the victory or defeat, the legendary national war points, etc., have not been disclosed, which is very in line with the system's consistent style.

Shifting his attention to system updates, Shang Ji found that there were really a lot of updates this time.

Because Shang Ji is in a historical civilization, he can only see the updated content of the historical civilization area, and the other three regions are unknown.

The first of the updates is about cities.

All cities, regardless of size, cannot be destroyed in a state of war, and even if they are under their control, it takes time to choose to destroy, and the specific length of time is related to the size of the city and the number of soldiers and civilians in the city who are loyal to the city lord, but it is generally more than seven days. During the countdown, if a hostile force enters the city within a radius of 1,000 miles, the destruction order is automatically lifted.

As for the state of war, this system also clearly stipulates that the city is in a state of war if there is a formed army of hostile forces within a radius of 1,000 miles.

In addition, for cities above large cities (inclusive), the desertion option will be cancelled.

Added a plunder option, as long as you control the city lord's mansion or control more than 60% of the city's buildings, you can choose to plunder the city, and randomly get the equivalent of 50% - 200% of the city's taxes in the previous year.

However, plundering will greatly increase the city's hatred value, and it is easy to trigger the city's military and civilians to spontaneously form a special class - Righteous Courage to confront the initiator of plunder.

For the occupation, the system was also modified. Once all formed rebel armies in the target city have been eliminated, they can choose to occupy it, and the time limit for occupation will be removed. When there is still a formed resistance force in the city, even if you control the whole city, you cannot occupy the city, let alone use the corresponding buildings in the city.

In addition, the destruction of individual buildings in the castle is also limited, and a corresponding amount of manpower must be dispatched to take a certain amount of time to actually destroy, and in the future, there will be no more cases where you can destroy buildings with your fingers while standing in the castle lord's mansion.

In addition to this, the city is in a state of decay. Plundering, wars, mismanagement, and large-scale natural disasters can lead to a state of decay. Decayed cities are reduced by 50% of their functions, and prolonged decay will lead to the downgrading of cities.

After reading the updated content about the city, Shang Ji was both happy and relieved in his heart.

If the rules of the city were modified before the Battle of Xianbei, it would be impossible for Shang Ji to occupy Dragon City, let alone destroy Dragon City.

The relief is that the update of the system is quite timely, otherwise there will be a big mess in the future.

In the case of the destruction option, if in the future the princes are in a scuffle. One side is at a disadvantage, and the city is about to fall. In line with the mentality that you can't get what I can't get, you will definitely choose to destroy the city before escaping. If this continues, Shang Ji is sure that within five years, there will not be a few cities in the entire Huaxia District.

Objectively speaking, the systematic remedy is quite timely. It's just that if you want to use the decapitation tactic in the siege in the future, the effect of directly attacking the castle lord will be greatly reduced.

In addition to the city, another focus of the update is space equipment, which is a big limitation for the merchants.

All space equipment, regardless of the size of the storage space, cannot store items with a single volume of more than one cubic meter. And when storing and putting items, if it may pose a direct threat to people, animals, buildings, and equipment, or seriously change the original topography, it cannot be stored or taken out normally.

This update is detrimental to Shang Ji and will greatly limit the operational capabilities of the Pingzhou Army.

Before that, Shang Ji relied on the vast area of the Qiankun Ring, and he put everything into it. In the battle of Xianbei, the bulky large-scale siege equipment was directly packed in the space ring, and it was released when it arrived at the place, and the whole process was easy and pleasant.

In the future, there will be no such good thing, and the volume of a single piece cannot exceed one cubic meter. Not to mention the Burst Torch Stone, even the large bed crossbow is more than that.

Of course, there is no solution, dismantling these large instruments into parts, putting them in, and then taking them out and assembling them when they are in place, although it is a little troublesome, but it is better than transporting the whole piece thousands of miles more conveniently and quickly.

As for the second point, it is also necessary to restrict. Nowadays there are more and more means of flying. If you don't make restrictions, Shang Ji will use the Qiankun ring to load a large number of stones, and then fly to the enemy's head and tilt it on a large scale, this is still a fart, hurry up and go home to wash and sleep!

As for the last point of the update, it's about War Horse.

All horses of the riding level or above (inclusive) will be automatically issued a horse license. The Horse is a space equipment that can only be entered by the corresponding war horse to rest. At the same time, the Horse card production technology is opened, and the specific production method is for players to find by themselves.

The physical recovery speed of the war horse in the horse card is accelerated, and the war horse can be put in or taken out anytime and anywhere, and the consumption of the war horse in the horse card is three times that of the normal state.

All horses of the rank or above (inclusive) collectively obtain the second status. After activating the second state, all warhorses can transform into Pegasi and gain the ability to fly. Depending on the level of the horse, the duration of the second state varies.

According to the riding skill of the rider, under the premise that the rider has not lost its combat effectiveness, the war horse is attacked, and only bears one-third of the actual attack - one-tenth of the damage. The rider can infuse the horse's own energy into the horse, providing the horse with 50%-100% defense equivalent to the rider's own, and this skill is a passive skill that only consumes a small amount of energy.

Note: Some generals with the [Horse Shooting] trait have a chance to ignore the Centaur Unity skill.

Seeing this update, Shang Ji almost couldn't help but applaud!

As the intensity of the current battle is getting higher and higher, the role of the war horse is becoming more and more chicken. Although high-level war horses can greatly improve their comprehensive combat power, the intensity of war on the battlefield is unprecedented, and various range attacks are everywhere. The generals themselves can rely on skills and exercises to resist attacks, but the war horse can't do it.

Sometimes it is very unpleasant to take care of the war horse while fighting against a strong enemy.

In addition, with the appearance of the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider, some high-level war horses are more embarrassing. The dragon horse, whose preciousness far exceeds that of ordinary giant eagles, can only helplessly watch the flying phoenix fire ride soar on the ground, and feel embarrassed to think about it.

With this update, the high-level war horse can finally raise his eyebrows and exhale Lao Tzu, who directly incarnates into the second form Pegasus and kicks you to death with a hoof!
