After seeing off Tian Wenjing and Du Xiaolan, Ouyang Shuo got up and left the Lord's Mansion. He was going to go to the barracks to select a fire captain and follow Gu Xiuwen to Beihai Village to form a guard force.

Among the 10 fire commanders on active duty, Zhang Daniu, Zhao Sihu, and Li Mingliang are serving as squadron leaders of the infantry squadron. Among the remaining seven fire chiefs, Liao Kai and Zhou Feng are the best, but they don't know that Lin Yishe is reluctant to let them go.

At the entrance of the barracks, a recruitment notice for recruiting new recruits had already been posted. A group of young men in Shanhai Town gathered around the recruitment notice and talked about it.

"Look, the barracks have posted a recruitment notice again, this time you can't miss it!"

"Come on, rotten bastard, you were brushed off the last time you participated in the screening, what kind of fun are you making this time!"

"That's it, that's it, now it's our turn to show off our skills, hehe!"

"You know the egg, the last time I recruited a cavalry, I was brushed off because my eyesight was not good, and I was excellent in two tests of body shape and physical fitness. This time it's an infantryman, and I'm sure I'll be chosen. ”

"Hey, look at what you can. I'm no worse than you, and if you can choose, I'm sure I'll be too! ”

"Yes, yes. If you want me to say, in our Shanhai Town, it is still the most beautiful to be a soldier. You didn't see the second stunned son of Uncle Tie's family, since he became the fire chief, he has more than a dozen people under his command, but he is majestic! ”

"Yes. and Liao Kai of Wu's mother's family, not only became the fire chief, but even the lord personally received him. When Wu's mother was happy, she said when she saw people, how is their kid doing, don't want my mother to envy her. This time, I also want to join the army, if I can become a fire chief one day, it will be beautiful! ”

"It's a pity that I only recruit infantry this time, I still like cavalry, riding war horses, how majestic!"

"You don't understand anything when you look at it. These infantry and cavalry, each good in their own way, is not what is high or low. I've seen heavy infantry in iron armor, hey, not to mention how majestic, ordinary light cavalry can only deliver food when they encounter them. ”

"That's it! To attack the city, you have to rely on the infantry. "Hmph, I still think the cavalry is powerful, a collective charge, any phalanx will penetrate for you!"

"Hey, don't fight, you really have to fight, wait until you are admitted first!"

"It's just, it's not chosen yet, and it's starting to daydream."

"If you want me to say, let's stop clubbing at the door, hurry up and sign up!"

"In the middle of talking, let's go ~~~"

A group of people rushed towards the barracks.

It seems that the enthusiasm of the people in the town to join the army is very high. I don't know why, Ouyang Shuo suddenly felt a little sad. These hot-blooded young people only saw the scenery of being a soldier, but they didn't see the tragedy of dying on the battlefield, and the desolation of being seriously injured and retiring.

Shaking his head, Ouyang Shuo suppressed the emotion in his heart, followed them, and slowly walked into the barracks. On the barracks and school grounds, there were already long queues, and no less than 100 people signed up for the army on the first day alone.

Shi Wansui sat on a chair in front of the school yard, and there were two soldiers standing behind him, and the newcomers who signed up for the army were stunned.

Ouyang Shuo ignored Shi Wansui's cool tricks and found Lin Yi directly.

After the two came to the barracks reception room and sat down, Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "How is it, I just took over the cavalry squadron, are you still used to it?" ”

"Okay." Lin Yi replied with a smile. Of course, he would not complain to the adults, saying that General Shi's influence still played a role in the cavalry squadron. The appointment of him as the leader of the cavalry squadron was not only an appreciation for him, but also a test for him. If he can't overcome this difficulty, then he doesn't deserve to stay in the position of squadron leader.

Ouyang Shuo's transfer of Shi Wansui from the cavalry squadron this time and the assignment of him to train recruits was a warning to him. If there is another adventure like the last time, he will not forgive. Until he finds a suitable staff officer with the army, Ouyang Shuo is not ready to let Shi Wansui lead the troops alone. At this stage, Shanhai Town does not have enough foundation to withstand many disastrous victories.

"That's good, I'm here to borrow someone from you this time." Ouyang Shuo ended his greetings and went straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, just as you ask."

"That's right, the territory wants to establish a subsidiary village in the Beidu Salt Field, Beihai Village. In order to be able to quickly form a garrison with combat effectiveness, I decided to select one of the active fire commanders to go to Beihai Village to command this garrison. Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend? Ouyang Shuo didn't directly designate a certain fire chief, but wanted to hear Lin Yi's opinion.

"Well, the last general wants to ask, how many people are you going to match this garrison?" Lin Yi did not answer directly, but first asked about the situation of the garrison.

"The security threat in Beihai Village is much lower than in Shanhai Village before. Therefore, the garrison was tentatively set at fifty people, which was just the size of one team. ”

In this case, the fire chief who went to Beihai Village to serve was promoted in disguise. The last general believes that Liao Kai and Zhou Feng are more suitable. Lin Yi said with a smile.

This was not out of Ouyang Shuo's previous expectations, such an answer was not satisfactory to him, and he asked: "In this way, then Liao Kai and Zhou Feng, which one do you think is more suitable?" ”

Lin Yi was a little embarrassed, thought about it seriously, and said a name: "Zhou Feng!" ”

"Why?"

"How to say it, these two people have their own advantages, and it can be said that they are not compatible. Liao Kai is bloody, dares to fight, and charges unambiguously. Zhou Feng is calm, not panicked, brave and strategic. Specific to Beihai Village, to choose a defender who is in charge of himself, the general will be more inclined to Zhou Feng. I can't see that Lin Yi's comments on these two are so pointed.

"Okay, just do as you say. You inform Zhou Feng and ask him to set off with Mr. Gu tomorrow. Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate and chose to believe Lin Yi's judgment.

After determining the candidates for the Beihai Village garrison, Ouyang Shuo did not stay in the barracks for long and returned directly to the lord's mansion. When I went back, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and although there were still many things to arrange, the time was no longer allowed. He simply went back to his office, stayed alone and saw no one, and began to plan the layout of the town in his head.

After being promoted to a township, the player's territory is no longer as isolated or peaceful as it is in the village stage, as the territory area expands dramatically. Chances are, there is another player's territory not far from your territory. Or maybe when you level up your territory, you suddenly find that your territory has begun to border other players' territories.

At this time, how to deal with the relationship between neighbors is very delicate. After all, Earth Online is a game with territory fighting as its core element, and war and death are the themes of this world. As the saying goes, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore.

Players with the slightest ambition or ambition will not want to be friends with their neighbors. Whether it is a false snake or a sharpening knife, the ultimate goal is to completely destroy the other party and win a broader development space for his territory.

This kind of war between realms will be the theme of the mid-game. At the county level, the battles between players are at their most intense, and the wilderness is a daily drama of occupation and destruction. And the township stage is just a prelude to the lord's war, not even an appetizer.

Even if this is the case, we have to prepare in advance. Not to mention, in the Guanglian Prefecture Basin, since the experience of that territorial defense battle, there are at least seventy player territories. Not to mention, the three territories that have climbed the Dali regional rankings.

The Military Intelligence Department was established earlier to serve this strategic purpose.

Until the evening offline, Ouyang Shuo had not yet sorted out his clue. At this stage, we can only take one step at a time. After all, now the world is only a township territory in Shanhai Town, and the other players are still struggling in the village stage, and it is not yet time to meet each other.

After coming out of the game pod, Ouyang Shuo ran a few laps in the community as usual. Approaching the Spring Festival, the community is slowly filling with a smell of New Year.

At the entrance of the community, the property company placed two huge kumquats, surrounded by a circle of chrysanthemums, which was particularly festive. The bright red lanterns and the banner of "Celebrating the New Year" have also been hung in place.

Seeing the kumquat placed in the community, Ouyang Shuo remembered the traditional flower market in Jiaozhou. It's just like the weather is nice today, so why don't you take Bing'er out for a good look!

Just do it, after going home, Ouyang Shuo called the little girl who was still sleeping lazily, and said, "Baby, get up, my brother will take you to the flower market today, if it's late, it's too late." ”

Hearing that she was going out to play, Xiao Nizi woke up instantly, no longer lying in bed, got up with a grunt, and ran to wash up. What a little monkey, Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile.

The Spring Festival Flower Market in Jiaozhou can be called a grand event of traditional folk culture of the Han nationality, with flowers and crowds, and it is very lively.

For Jiaozhou people, flowers are indispensable for the Spring Festival. Because flowers are a symbol of beauty, they can bring beautiful sights to people. There are many kinds of flowers, colorful, fragrant fragrance, different forms, closely related to people's lives, closely connected, and add infinite leisure to a better life.

Shuttling through the sea of flowers, Bing'er is like a happy deer, look here, look there. From time to time, she stopped and stood next to the flowers she liked, asking her brother to take pictures of her.

In the flower market, the most sold are kumquats, peach blossoms and daffodils. These three kinds of flowers are called annual flowers. Kumquat, because orange and auspicious in Cantonese have the same sound, buy a pot and put it at home to symbolize good luck. The peach blossom symbolizes great prosperity, and young people hope to have peach blossom luck. Narcissus symbolizes wealth and good fortune.

Ouyang Shuo was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, he bought a pot for each of the three and carried it home with Bing'er.
