Just as Ouyang Shuo walked out of the tailor shop, a system announcement sounded in his ears.
"World Announcement: On the first day of the first month of the first year of Gaia, countless aliens descended from the sky into the wilderness, overcoming thorns and thorns, using a sharp sword in their hands to expand the territory and establish a foundation. In the past month or so, the beasts of the wilderness were slaughtered. Countless. As the saying goes, the cycle of heaven, retribution is not good. It is also said that the weak eat the strong, and the winner is king. Therefore, the beasts of the wilderness will be held three days later, on February 1st of the first year of Gaia, under the leadership of the leaders of various tribes , Gather quickly, and attack the player's territory at the same time. Swear to wash away the grievances of the same clan with the blood of the lord. Please prepare for the war in advance, and defend the dignity of the lord with the sharp sword in your hand!"
"World Announcement: This monster siege is a mandatory global territory defense mission. Territories whose villages are attacked by wild beasts will be directly removed. Territories that successfully resist the attack of wild beasts will receive additional rewards. During the mission, regional leaderboards and country rankings will be established. Top 10 rankings and world rankings. The top ten of each list will receive generous rewards. Those who enter two or more lists will be rewarded with the latter. Those selected in the latter list will not occupy the first A place on the list. During the mission, non-territorial residents cannot stay within the territory."
"World Announcement: The rewards for the top ten players in the regional leaderboard are as follows: 100 meritorious points will be awarded for the first place. For every one behind, the meritorious value will be reduced by 10 points."
"World Announcement: The top ten rewards in the national rankings are as follows: the first place rewards 1,000 merit points and 100 gold coins. Every time you fall behind, the merit value will decrease by 100 points and 10 gold coins."
"World Announcement: The top ten rewards in the world rankings are as follows: the first place rewards 3,000 merit points and 600 gold coins. For every one behind, the merit value will decrease by 200 points and gold coins will decrease by 50. In addition, the extra rewards for the first place will be random A hidden building; the second place will be rewarded with a random special item; the third place will be rewarded with a random primary soldier amulet."
As soon as the system announcement came out, there was an uproar all over the world. Those with weak strength are worried that their territory will be destroyed and panic. Those who are powerful, or careerists who think they are powerful, are completely seduced by the rewards of the system, and become excited and excited. They are all gearing up to compete with the global lords.
Even Ouyang Shuo, who knew the news in advance, couldn't help being a little excited when he saw such a generous reward. His goal is to ensure that he enters the top ten in the world rankings and strives to enter the top three. To achieve this goal, a secret weapon is needed.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo walked into the barracks. In the barracks, apart from the patrolling and garrisoning soldiers, the rest of the soldiers were practicing archery in the school grounds. Seeing him coming in, everyone stopped training and lined up to greet him.
Ouyang Shuo signaled the soldiers to continue training, and pulled Shi Wansui aside, "General, you have worked hard this time!"
Shi Wansui chuckled, "The general likes this kind of military life."
"That's good. What's the level of these soldiers now?" Ouyang Shuo asked directly.
Shi Wansui said proudly: "After this period of training, all the soldiers have been promoted to the second rank. The four fire chiefs except Lin Yi have even been promoted to the third rank."
"Very good, the general's training has really lived up to expectations. How are the traps in the territory?"
"Because the area of the territory is very large, the final plan is to deploy four trap defense chains in the territory. After the hard work of the past few days, the arrangement of two defense chains has been completed. According to this progress, it will take another two days to deploy all of them. Finished." Shi Wansui was unambiguous and ambitious. There are four defensive chains, and there are at least a thousand traps to be dug.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, then asked, "General, have you ever heard of Menghuoyou?"
"Fire oil?! What the lord is talking about is that kind of black magical liquid that can be ignited directly?"
"Yes, the general is indeed well-informed."
Shi Wansui smiled embarrassingly, "My lord asked about fierce oil, but what is the meaning?"
"That's right. If you can buy a large amount of fire oil, will it help the general's defense plan?"
Shi Wansui was stunned, then rejoiced, "That's very helpful. Wild animals are no more afraid of fire than we are. If there is fierce fire oil, we can set up a fierce fire array in front of the village. The general will have confidence and can wipe it out with one blow."
"Okay, I don't have to worry about the general's words. The general will take the soldiers now and follow me to the primary market to buy fire oil." Ouyang Shuo said happily.
Shi Wansui immediately ordered twenty soldiers, and together with Ouyang Shuo, went straight to the primary market.
Ouyang Shuo walked into the wooden hut, clicked on the material trading platform, and searched for fierce oil. The fierce oil is sold in barrels, and each barrel of fierce oil is 50 liters, and the price is 1 silver coin.
On the way here just now, Shi Wansui roughly estimated that to complete the layout of the fierce fire array, 40,000 liters of fierce fire oil, or 800 barrels, would be needed. In order to ensure everything was safe, Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth and spent 10 gold coins to directly purchase 1000 barrels of fierce oil.
In addition, in order to enhance the early warning capability of the territory, Ouyang Shuo spent the last 10 gold coins to buy a blueprint of the sentry tower. The sentry towers are all made of stone masonry, which is difficult to break. At the same time, the sentry tower is equipped with a beacon tower, which can send out early warning information. Each sentry tower can accommodate two sentries.
[Stone sentry tower]: Primary military facility with strong defense and detection and early warning capabilities. Construction conditions: 20 units of wood, 200 units of stone. Build time: one day.
On the square in front of the wooden hut, Shi Wansui grinned and directed the soldiers to transport the fire oil to the barracks. This thing is a dangerous item, and no one can rest assured that it is placed elsewhere.
Ouyang Shuo gave Shi Wansui the blueprint of the sentry tower that he bought just now, and asked him to pass it on to Zhao Dewang of the Construction Department. As for the site selection of the sentry tower and the subsequent garrison tasks, Shi Wansui is naturally in charge. According to his plan, it is best to build more than three sentry towers to ensure smooth early warning.
Coming out of the market, Ouyang Shuo finally became more relaxed. In the face of the coming monster siege, he has already done everything he can. The entire territory is arranged like a meat grinder.
The key to the victory or defeat of a war is nothing more than the right time, place and people. Needless to say, Tianshi, relying on the advantage of his rebirth, has been preparing for this war since the day he was upgraded to a second-level village. Other lords only had three days to prepare.
Geographical advantage also has an advantage, relying on four trap defense chains, supplemented by the early warning of the sentry tower, coupled with the lore of the fierce fire formation, the geographical advantage is used to the extreme.
In the end, there is harmony between people, and the advantages in this regard are even greater. Relying on the junior soldier talisman, the territorial army got rid of the militia era early and entered the regular army ranks ahead of schedule. Coupled with Commander Shi Wansui, one of the top ten great generals in history, it is almost unfavorable.
Finally, there is strong logistical support. Sufficient arrows and a large number of javelins are enough to guarantee the consumption of this war.
Back at the Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo read in the office for an hour, and then went offline.
In reality, it is winter time. The leaves in the garden of the community began to turn yellow slowly, falling on the path one by one. Ouyang Shuo ran on the gravel road, enjoying the fresh morning air, feeling refreshed physically and mentally.
When they returned home with breakfast, Sun Xiaoyue and Binger had already woken up. The two beauties, big and small, saw the breakfast in Ouyang Shuo's hands, smiled at each other, and sat down at the dining table in a tacit understanding.
Some people say that habit is a terrible thing. Before Ouyang Shuo and Bing'er moved in, Sun Xiaoyue's breakfast was one meal at a time.
In just one month, she has gotten used to having hot soybean milk and fried dough sticks in the morning. I am used to having a sumptuous dinner waiting for me when I come back from school in the afternoon. I even got used to doing homework with Binger at night and telling her fairy tales. Unknowingly, great changes have taken place in both diet and daily routine.
Sun Xiaoyue didn't notice it, maybe this is the fate between people. This kind of wonderful fate made her naturally bring Ouyang Shuo brothers and sisters into her life. In a trance, they have known each other for a long time. Now, they are like a family, living under the same roof, naturally and harmoniously.
As usual, after sending Binger to school, Ouyang Shuo returned home and turned on the optical brain. Today's forum is extremely lively. Needless to say, the root of everything is the announcement issued by the system last night.
The headline of the top post is a questionnaire survey. The subject of the survey is to guess who will get the top ten in China this time. In addition, it is guessed that this time the lord of the Chinese region can occupy several positions in the world rankings.
There is no doubt that the Handan Six Hegemons are still the biggest favorites. What everyone is interested in is who else can occupy a place in the top ten in China besides the Handan Six Hegemons.
Among a series of candidates, Ouyang Shuo was on the list due to his reputation as the sixth place to be promoted to the second-level village. Besides him, there are Xiongba from Bawang Village, Wandering Huan from Luoye Village, 砆 from Sticky Stone Village, and Baihua from Lingxi Village.
These four people, except for Bai Hua, are all the lords of the top ten villages in China who have been promoted to the second level. Bai Hua was able to be included in the list of candidates by virtue of her ID. As a mysterious player who has occupied the first place in the Chinese Competitive Game Hall of Fame for a long time, he cannot be overemphasized.
The most heated discussion was to predict how many people from China could be among the top ten in the world rankings. Undoubtedly, as the most influential player in China, Di Chen, the head of the Handan Six Hegemons, is the most popular candidate. As for the others, I'm not sure. After all, the world is too big, and there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons everywhere.
Most people still boldly predict that based on such a huge population base in China, at least two people will be able to reach the world rankings.
Ouyang Shuo looked at the speculations of these fun players, and didn't say a word. As far as he knew, in his previous life, only Dichen in China was ranked third in the world rankings.
None of the others made the list. The other nine places are occupied by the United States, Canada, Russia, South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and India. No country can occupy two places, and the competition is so fierce that it can be seen that it is mediocre.
This time, with Ouyang Shuo as the biggest variable, I don't know what will happen in the end.
