After killing the bandits, Ling Yi walked out of the village without looking back.
He's going to establish a bandit territory.
Without territory, one cannot establish power; without power, one cannot recruit soldiers and create an army.
This is the rule of this world.
But Ling Yi was essentially cheating; he only needed territory and didn't need to recruit soldiers. After all, forming an army by recruiting refugees was too troublesome, and Ling Yi didn't want to go through that much trouble.
He wants to play the game of vying for supremacy, but that's all he'll do. He doesn't have the patience to actually rack his brains to develop strategies and scheme against various warlords.
Or perhaps Ling Yi is simply not a patient person; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up failing miserably in every world he transmigrated to.
Ling Yi chose a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides to use the Lord's Seal.
The terrain here is flat, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the area is extremely vast, making it an ideal place to build a secluded city in the mountains.
After using the Lord's Seal, the world information stream scrolled by again.
"Congratulations (Unknown, Auto-ID 9527) on successfully creating a bandit territory. Please name your territory."
Congratulations to 9527 on successfully creating the territory, City of Ten Thousand Worlds!
Regional Announcement: Congratulations to 9527 for successfully creating the Bandit Territory, City of Ten Thousand Worlds.
"Regional Quest: 9527 The creation of a bandit force has severely damaged the prestige of the Great Han State. The governor Thunder and has ordered the local magistrate to lead troops to wipe out the City of Ten Thousand Worlds. Players in the region can participate in the bandit suppression activity. Paladins can choose their own faction. The event lasts for three days. During the event, participating players will receive five times the experience and ten times the drop rate for killing bandits or government soldiers."
"Attention 9527: Local magistrate Guan Hong has amassed 3,000 troops and is marching towards you. Please prepare accordingly. Successfully defend for 3 days to receive a territory upgrade order and a random special elite unit."
Ling Yi gazed at the sky, unsure whether this was an original game mechanic or an event added temporarily because of his presence.
Interestingly, every time he captures the flow of information in this world, the progress of analyzing the laws of this world increases by one point.
Although no law of this world has been deciphered so far, Ling Yi believes that as long as he continues to cause trouble in this world, he will soon be able to decipher its laws.
Ling Yi snapped his the Snap, and the rhythm of the Law of Earth instantly spread throughout the entire valley.
Amidst a deafening roar, a colossal city slowly rose from the ground, covering the entire valley.
This is a city entirely "carved" from a single block of Shitou. Whether it's the city walls, houses, barracks, kitchens, armories, Forging, etc., everything is a unified whole.
The valley entrance is covered by a city wall that is thirty meters high and more than ten meters thick. Two carriages can run side by side on the top of the wall without any problem.
With another the Snap, the three great laws— the Law of Creation, the Law of Life, and the Law of Souls —were activated, and figures of archer cavalry clad in golden armor appeared in the city.
Two thousand golden-armored archer cavalrymen gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.
In his previous life, Ling Yi had also played Three Kingdoms strategy games, and his favorite unit was the cavalry archer.
Several large square formations of cavalry archers stood motionless, and the enemy would be annihilated before they could even get close.
No matter what type of enemy troops they are, just fire wildly. If one round isn't enough, fire again.
If all else fails, you can fly kites. Horse archers are extremely mobile and can fire arrows while retreating, giving them a huge advantage over other troop types.
A day later, players and official scouts began to appear near the valley.
The next day at noon, the first faction composed entirely of players appeared.
These players are all lords, numbering around five or six hundred. Each player Central City twenty or thirty soldiers, totaling nearly two thousand.
These soldiers were a motley crew, dressed in rags, and mostly armed with spears.
In Ling Yi's eyes, this was just a rabble, but these players didn't think so. They were clearly quite confident, even believing that they could completely destroy Ling Yi's territory with this force.
However, when they saw Ling Yi's City of Ten Thousand Worlds, they were all dumbfounded.
Some players even started swearing on the spot.
"Is this 30-meter-high city wall for real?"
"Are the game developers brain-dead? Is this level of territory something players can currently handle?"
"Let's go, let's go. What a crappy event, what a waste of time."
"I thought the golden-armored archers on the city wall were sculptures, but they're actually alive! What kind of Immortal Soldier are they? They look so cool!"
"Even if the government troops came, they'd be helpless. Those are Shitou walls, they look incredibly sturdy. Forget about siege equipment from the Three Kingdoms period, even modern weapons wouldn't stand a chance."
"Just wait and see if the imperial army dies."
"Cooling down +1"
"..."
The players stopped not far from the city wall, looking at the majestic wall with a sense of despair.
However, they have clearly forgotten, or rather, they haven't realized what a battlefield is.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" A deafening roar suddenly echoed from inside the city walls.
Immediately afterwards, the Shitou gates opened to both sides, and golden-armored archer cavalry roared out from the gates, splitting into two groups and surrounding the players in a goose-shaped formation.
Less than Wu Bai from the players, the lead horse archer drew his longbow, roared "Kill!" and his arrows, like streaks of light, pierced straight into the players' ranks.
Instantly, a large portion of the player faction fell.
"Boom!"
The players scattered like startled ants, creating complete chaos.
Ling Yi rode his warhorse behind the golden-armored archers, his gaze disdainful. This was a battlefield, yet these guys were chatting and arguing less than a kilometer from the city wall. A single Charge would send them sprawling.
Ling Yi yawned, raised his halberd high, and shouted, "Kill! Leave no one alive!"
The Combat ended quickly; the players had no cavalry, and how could two legs possibly outrun four?
Ling Yi did not return to the city, leaving 1,500 golden-armored archer cavalry to guard it, while he led 500 golden-armored archer cavalry out of the valley.
In the struggle for supremacy, everyone except yourself is an enemy.
Therefore, Ling Yi planned to wipe out all the surrounding players, destroy all their territories, and then take over the county town first.
The process of hundreds of players being wiped out has been videotaped and posted online by some players.
This immediately caused a huge uproar, because in people's memory, there was no such figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Since this bandit leader is not a historical figure, it means that he is a special NPC who was born unexpectedly in this world, and players can no longer use the original history as a reference for the progress of this world.
Perhaps, as some players have said, anything is possible in this world.
However, this did not dampen the players' enthusiasm; on the contrary, it attracted the attention of even more players.
Especially the incredibly handsome and Li Qiang special unit, the Golden Armored Archer Cavalry. Anyone who has such an army can be invincible in the early stages and make a name for themselves in the game.
As a result, some gaming guilds began recruiting players in large numbers and investing huge sums of money into the game world.
Both the golden-armored archer cavalry and the City of Ten Thousand Worlds are incredibly Gravity to players.
Within two days, three large guilds were established in the game world, each with more than 100,000 players. The soldiers under the command of these 100,000 players were combined to form three terrifying legions of 500,000 each.
The three legions are currently undergoing intensive integration and adjustments. Once these adjustments are complete, it will be time to launch another attack on the City of Ten Thousand Worlds.
In the eyes of the leaders of the three major guilds, conquering the City of Ten Thousand Worlds was not the reason for unifying their legions. The more important reason was that the Three Kingdoms game world was a world where the main theme was the struggle for supremacy. How could one contend for supremacy without their own army?
Even without Ling Yi, these guilds would still consolidate their forces to prepare for the upcoming major storyline of warlordism.
It's just that Ling Yi's appearance accelerated this process significantly.
While the players were making a ruckus about the major consolidation, Ling Yi was not idle either. Within a week, he captured more than a dozen cities, Sweep the land and quickly unifying Yi Province.
During this process, Ling Yi Manifestation 300,000 soldiers alone.
They were all golden-armored archer cavalry, with no other troop types.
The entire Yi Province was bathed in golden light.
Before the Yellow Turban Army Rebellion even began, Ling Yi's sudden emergence caught all the indigenous forces off guard.
In Luoyang City, Emperor Liu Hong had repeatedly Thunder in court.
The imperial court has prepared an army of 150,000, which is on its way to Yi Province, led by Huangpu Song, just as in the original history.
The players have mostly finished integrating by now, with more than a dozen guilds of Xiaoxiao, but only three guilds still have more than 500,000 soldiers under their command.
Players are preparing to fight the boss, while Huangpu Song is also preparing his army to defeat Ling Yi.
Less than a month after the game's launch, a massive war is about to begin.
At this moment, Ling Yi had just led 50,000 golden-armored archer cavalry to capture Shangyong City and was resting in the city.
Shangyong City was already under the jurisdiction of Jing Province. The Shen Dan of Shangyong City, surrendered with his entire family, showing no backbone whatsoever.
Looking at the red banner bearing the character "Ling" fluttering on the city wall, Ling Yi felt very proud and spirited.
Not only was the Sweep incredibly satisfying, but also because every time a territory was conquered, an information stream would appear, and each appearance of the information stream would increase the progress of the law analysis by one point.
After conquering Yi Province, the progress of the law analysis has reached 37%.
Ling Yi finally mastered three laws that were completely different from Power of Laws he had used before.
