It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 405

"War is not a fun thing after all. In the turbulent times to come, a large number of people are destined to die. Starting from Fordler, we must all try to accept sacrifice. In fact, we can't do anything, the only thing we can do is, I just try to protect the people around me and let them live in this troubled world." Cheng Dalei looked into Li Wan'er's eyes.

Li Waner was silent, she was worthy of being the daughter of Emperor Ming, with the blood of the royal family on her body.

"Are you going to send troops?" Li Wan'er asked.

"Won't."

Cheng Dalei shook his head firmly, this was what he thought from the beginning. He would neither stand up to support the imperial court nor support the Justice Religion. Chang'an City has become a meat grinder. Although everyone in the cottage is thinking about fighting, Cheng Dalei doesn't want them to die.

Cheng Dalei saw that after hearing her words, the look in her eyes dimmed, and finally left the room silently.

Cheng Dalei had nothing to do with this.

As a son of man, Li Wan'er naturally didn't want her father to have an accident. But Lin Shaoyu, who is a son of man, doesn't want his father to be dead on the street, leaving a stigma for thousands of years. This is an unclear and confusing account, and everyone can only do things according to their own starting point.

Song Bokang once accused Li Xingzai: he only has his own sorrows and joys, but he does not care about other people's lives and deaths.

He didn't say this in front of Cheng Dalei. If he asked Cheng Dalei, Cheng Dalei would ask him without hesitation: Who doesn't only care about his own happiness and joy, and who cares about other people's lives and deaths?

Humans are inherently selfish.

Cheng Dalei would not send troops to Chang'an City, but he never gave up collecting news from Chang'an City. Because of the long distance between the two places, there was an average of seven days' time difference when the news reached Qinchuan Pass.

Cheng Dalei was thinking all the time about the follow-up changes in Chang'an World War I. What he thought in his mind was how to keep the foundation of Qinchuan Pass.

With the start of the war, a steady stream of refugees poured into Qinchuan Pass, and the population of Qinchuan Pass increased by leaps and bounds. Until this day, Cheng Dalei was browsing the information sent by his subordinates in the study. With a beep, Cheng Dalei suddenly accepted to a system prompt.

Duh, congratulations on the completion of the upgrade, the fourth-level cottage has been upgraded to a primary city, please name your city.

Cheng Dalei was stunned. He never gave up on upgrading the cottage. As time passed, most of the buildings had been completed, and the only thing missing was the population.

As of today, the cottage has finally gathered enough population of 100,000 for the upgrade.

"Please name your city? 』

Cheng Dalei thought about it and replied, "Toad City."

City: Elementary Toad Village

City Lord: Cheng Dalei

Population: 100000

City buildings: City Lord's Mansion, Dianjingtai, Barracks, Craftsman's Workshop, Warehouse, Market, Military Policy Mansion, and Horse Farm. mine...

City Skills: None

what!

Cheng Dalei's eyes widened, my copycat skills, my solid defense, Qixin, equestrian proficient and other skills. You give me a "no" count as several meanings.

Cheng Dalei checked it again and found that not only the skills of Qinchuanguan were gone, but also the skills of Luoyu Village and Toad Village had become "None".

Cheng Dalei jumped in anger and said, "Come out for me, come out..."

"Justice boy..."

"I'm the size of your mother." Cheng Dalei cursed angrily: "Where's my copycat skills, you can recruit me from the truth."

"Please pay attention to your words, insulting the spirit of the system will be punished"

Cheng Dalei's anger has not subsided, but thinking about this system is not easy to mess with, it is better to stay calm and think about things clearly.

"That cottage skill was collected by me through hard work. You took it away from me like this, but shouldn't it?" Cheng Dalei's tone obviously softened.

"The cottage has been upgraded to a city, and the development model is different. The original cottage skills are no longer applicable to the city."

"what's the difference?"

"The cottage makes a living by looting"

"Then what about the city?"

"Aiming to capture other people's cities as the development goal"

"It's not the same." Cheng Dalei was quite depressed: "As for the skills of Luoyu Village and Toad Village, you shouldn't cancel it for me."

"Toad Village, Luoyu Village, and Qinchuan Pass together form the primary city Toad City, and their skills will naturally be taken away."

Cheng Dalei was speechless, but he had to admit that only the three cottages together could make up a population of 100,000.

"But you don't have to worry, if you upgrade to a primary city, you will naturally be rewarded with the skills of your exclusive city."

"Where is the reward, why didn't I see it?"

"You called me out before you could give out the reward."

"Uh..." Cheng Dalei was choked up enough: "What's the reward then?"

"You can choose three of the original skills and inherit them into the new city"

Cheng Dalei thought for a moment, and immediately had an answer. The blessing of the gods is a must. This skill can open a special buff every three days, and the rumors of the rivers and lakes are also necessary. Cheng Dalei can quickly receive the information of Chang'an City, and the rumors of the rivers and lakes have played a role. There is the last item, Cheng Dalei chose to be proficient in architecture. Today, Luoyu Village, Qinchuan Pass, and Toad Village are a trinity, and architectural mastery can play a role in any place.

Cheng Dalei quickly made a choice, and the new city inherited these three skills.

"Randomly reward the city skill 1, get the city skill: the speed of soldiers"

Soldier's Speed: The marching speed is increased by 30%.

After receiving this system prompt, Cheng Dalei felt better, and he finally gained something. This skill can increase the marching speed by 30%, and in the ever-changing battlefield, it can even decide the victory or defeat of a battlefield.

"What other rewards are there to send out in one piece?" Cheng Dalei.

Duh, you can raise the level of anyone below the peerless at will.

Beep, reward ten battle flags, with the skill: Inspiration.

Beep, Reward Form 1: Plum Blossom Formation.

Hey, the last system prompt made Cheng Dalei let out a soft cry. Formation? Does the system have this feature enabled?

The formation method was very popular in ancient battlefields. The most famous battle was when Prime Minister Zhuge set up a gossip formation to trap 100,000 enemy troops.

Following that, an introduction to the plum blossom array appeared in Cheng Dalei's mind. The Plum Blossom Array is a group of ten people who cooperate with each other in battle, attacking and defending. At the same time, a ten-person team can form a large plum blossom of a hundred people, and a hundred people can form a thousand-person team. The current Cheng Dalei is no longer the stunned young man he used to be, and he is not ignorant of fighting.

Just a cursory glance, you can feel the power of this plum blossom array.

Obtaining this plum blossom array slightly calmed Cheng Dalei's mood. At least upgrading the cottage to a city is not useless. More importantly, if there is one, there will be a second, and it is not impossible for a gossip array to appear in the future.
