There is no regret medicine in the world!
The Persian army escorting Wokuotai stopped a kilometer away from the city wall of Nanchengguan. Only one general, under the protection of a team of guards, continued to advance and came near the city gate.
"Walk!"
Wang Jian turned around and went down the city wall.
After a while, the city gate opened, and Wang Jian and his party came out.
In order to ensure the safety of the handover work, the West Asia Theater has already made sufficient preparations before this. In addition to the guards at the Nancheng Gate, they also deployed artillery in the mountains near the city.
The purpose, of course, is to prevent the Persian Empire from cheating.
Although this possibility is very small, it has to be guarded against.
"Hello!"
General Persia was the first to say hello.
Wang Jian raised his eyes and saw that the opponent was a veteran, thin and tall, with armor all over his body, and a golden beard on his face, which was particularly eye-catching.
According to intelligence, this person's name is Xerxes, and he is the commander-in-chief of the eastern border of the Persian Empire.
"Hello!"
Wang Jian nodded calmly.
If there is no accident, the next time the two meet, they should be sworn enemies on the battlefield.
Xerxes seemed to understand this too. The two generals were casually looking at each other, and there was a murderous look in the air.
"Sign the agreement!" Wang Jian said.
Two generals, authorized by their respective courts, were responsible for signing the formal agreement.
Xerxes asked: "What about the ransom?"
In the agreement signed by the two parties, the ransom column did not agree on a specific amount, which meant that Da Xia could pay as much as was appropriate.
Wang Jian just smiled, took out a gold coin from his bosom, pretending to be solemn and said: "Here!"
Looking at the gold coin handed over, a hint of shame and indignation flashed across Xerxes' face. Daxia set the ransom at one gold coin, which was undoubtedly a humiliation to the Persian Empire.
Xerxes, whose expression was changing, finally endured after struggling, took the gold coin with a blank face, and handed over an agreement.
After Wang Jian signed it, it will come into effect officially.
Xerxes' expression was fully seen by Wang Jian, and his heart sank. The other party's sophistication and forbearance made Wang Jian more vigilant towards neighboring countries.
The next thing is easy.
Wo Kuotai and other generals were handed over first, and temporarily escorted to Nanchengguan Prison. The rest of the soldiers, one after another, were sent into the pass.
For safety reasons, the entire receiving process will last for two days.
Every time Nanchengguan receives a batch of prisoners of war, it will be transported to the rear to keep Nanchengguan unimpeded.
What outsiders don't know is that that night, Wo Kuotai died in prison, and the prisoner was Wang Jian. Of course, this was instructed by Ouyang Shuo.
Otherwise, no matter how daring Wang Jian was, he would not dare to act recklessly.
For the remaining soldiers who were injured or sick, the imperial court would arrange military doctors to treat them. After a short resettlement, some would be sent back to their hometowns directly, and some would be incorporated into the Xijiang Construction Corps or the Xikang Construction Corps.
If one gold coin is redeemed for 150,000 strong-aged laborers, Great Xia will not lose money.
Through this move, the imperial court can also buy the hearts of the Mongols to a certain extent, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
…
In the twinkling of an eye, the cold winter came.
The global battlefield is silent, entering a rare period of truce.
Under Daxia's intervention, the progress of the Dawson Dynasty on the Mayan battlefield was very slow. Before the truce, little progress was made, which made Jack very frustrated.
The European battlefield still maintains a dangerous balance of power, especially after the Great Xia firearms began to be transported to the Germanic dynasty, the powerful Germanic nation stubbornly withstood the pressure on the front line.
This winter is very important to the Germanic dynasty.
In Africa, the Bantu dynasty was aggressive, and there was a life-and-death rally between the army of the Dawson dynasty with the Angola region as the battlefield.
Now let's see how determined the Bantu dynasty can be in the coming year.
Years ago, the Bantu Dynasty placed an order for firearms of 20 million gold coins to Daxia. It can be seen that the Bantu Dynasty's plan is not small.
Although Ouyang Shuo was vigilant, he still accepted the order.
What surprised Ouyang Shuo the most was the battlefield in Tianzhu. I don't know what kind of plan Ashoka had in mind. After redeeming one million prisoners of war, he didn't go to the battlefield.
It seems to be saying that this million army has never appeared before.
Next year's Tianzhu battlefield is bound to put on a good show.
On December 25th, Christmas in the West came as scheduled. On the American and European battlefields, many soldiers spent an unforgettable Christmas in the trenches.
After Christmas, Gaia's eight years will come to an end.
On December 30th of the eighth year of Gaia, a system announcement resounded all over the world.
"World Announcement: On the occasion of the eighth anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will undergo the ninth and last system update, which will take effect immediately. Please log on to the official website to check the details."
…
As soon as the announcement came out, the world fell silent.
Unknowingly, the game world has gone through the eighth year, and the annual system update is a big drama, affecting the new global pattern.
There are several updates that even bring subversive effects.
No one expected that this would be the last system update, which meant that Gaia's nine years, Gaia's ten years, and even the foreseeable future era would no longer use such regular changes.
Gaia, seems to be consciously reducing interference in the game world.
capital.
Ouyang Shuo shook off his distracting thoughts, and logged into the official website as usual to check the update.
[1]Cancel system announcements and system prompts.
From now on, Gaia will not issue system announcements no matter what achievements the players have made. Relevant achievements are only broadcast on the official website in the form of press releases.
This is also a key step towards the reality of the game world.
System announcements seem to be convenient, but Gaia is everywhere and can forcefully release information to everyone.
It's not a good experience.
The system prompt is the same, it is Gaia who is restraining himself.
Players' privacy is fully protected.
If necessary, relevant system prompts will be displayed on the player's communication compass in the form of emails or messages, which can be viewed at any time, which is also very convenient.
[2] Cancel part of the teleportation array.
From now on, each game area (especially the most primitive game area) can only keep one teleportation array.
Taking Great Xia as an example, if Ouyang Shuo chooses to reserve the quota for the teleportation array to the capital, then the nine royal cities, including Lingxi City, Zhenhai City, Black Lion City, Obstinate Stone City, Luofeng City, Luoxie City, Loulan, The teleportation formations in Halahelin, Huining Mansion and other places will be cancelled.
This has a relatively large impact on Daxia.
The only thing that made Ouyang Shuo heave a sigh of relief was that most of the teleportation arrays in the overseas territories could be preserved, otherwise, with such a vast territory of Great Xia, it would be a big trouble.
