Chapter 319 You Surrendered Too Quickly (Second Update)
Facing the compliments from these players, the evil outsider pointed at himself with his thumb and said proudly: "Are you awesome, brother evil?"
"Brother Xie is mighty!"
"Brother Xie is domineering!"
"Brother Xie has been a bad villain all his life!"
Listening to other people's flattery, heretics are quite benefited.
He has now discovered a new way to play the game, which is to accept tasks from NPCs and then transfer these tasks to other players.
He only charges an intermediary fee. At most, he is a middleman and earns a price difference. The bulk of it comes from the players and the rebels here.
In this process, Old Man Cheng was very happy because the items they collected were finally put to use and they could get much-needed assistance from the players.
The heretic is also very happy. He can finally live a life of earning money while lying down. He can get money just by introducing people to work every day.
Other players are also very happy. After all, farming is good, but if there is no way to show off, they will still feel bored.
But here in the rebel army, what they have learned is finally put to use. They can farm here, cut down trees here, build tunnels and treat diseases here, and give full play to what they learned in the Immortal Village.
However, according to the conservation principle of happiness, when one person is very happy, there must be someone who is not very happy.
All the smiles of the King of Li Fire Nation were transferred to the faces of the players and rebels, leaving him only unhappy.
Without the help of practitioners, domestic problems have become more serious. Refugees from various places have shown signs of being uncontrollable and have begun to move towards the royal capital.
These refugees are very dangerous. Once there is any disturbance, they will go crazy like locusts, accompanied by looting and turmoil.
In the past, when this happened, practitioners were responsible for calming the emotions of the victims and then working in the fields for several years until the famine was alleviated.
But now, the practitioners have lost contact with this place. No matter how he calls, there is no response from the other side.
If these are small things, then the situation there with the rebels is even worse.
The previous turmoil was just a group of rioters, and all they needed was to reduce some of the tax burden.
As long as practitioners are sent and a few leaders come back for trial, those rebels will defeat themselves.
The remaining people will naturally disperse in a hurry, but the court will also give them a little benefit, symbolically reducing some tax burdens, so that they can at least get through it.
This is a game between officials and the people. They have been playing according to this rule tacitly for a long time, but unfortunately this rule has been broken.
When he learned that the cultivators were flying to the rebels, the King of Li Fire Country naively thought that the cultivators had finally remembered their mission and started to help him put down the rebellion.
He also began to reflect on himself and realized that he had not been very good to those practitioners before, so he decided to correct himself.
After all, the practitioners have given themselves steps and started to take the initiative to help them with their work, so there is no need for me to hold them. When they come back, I can just give them a banner.
However, he waited and waited, but never waited until the other party brought the rebel leader back. Instead, he heard the bad news that the other party had started working for the rebels.
After hearing the news from his spies, the monarch was stunned.
Looking at the secret agent kneeling in front of him, he asked in disbelief: "Are you sure? They are really working for the rebels, rather than pretending to work and actually waiting for opportunities to rob people?"
The spy glanced at the ashen-faced monarch, and his heart skipped a beat.
Although he secretly said something bad, he still said dutifully: "Yes, they are raising cattle for the rebels. That cow... is particularly powerful."
"How powerful?"
"...I can talk, use farm tools, and play the erhu to sing love songs to the heifers, but my eyesight is not very good."
"...I can understand the first three, but how do you tell if your eyes are bad?"
"It sang to me all night."
The guard behind the monarch glanced at the secret agent and felt that the look in his eyes was not too bad.
The monarch looked at the spy and felt a little strange.
There have been many immortals who came here before, but none of them were so out of the ordinary.
They are all good people and have good strength, but they just accept death, otherwise they would not have been ordered by the royal family of the Li Fire Kingdom for so long.
But the new group of practitioners seems to be more unscrupulous, which can be seen from the fact that the heretic named Xie robbed his own palace as soon as he came up.
After thinking for a while, the king came to the spy and asked, "Tell me what else you saw."
Finding that the monarch was not angry, the spy breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I saw hundreds of practitioners there. Each of them is very powerful, and they are very excited about everything they see."
"Their movements are weird. Some people will jump up and squat down repeatedly every few steps. It seems that they can't walk otherwise."
"Some people have a special liking for chatting, and dogs passing by will be pulled over by them to chat for a while. However, their chatting habits are not good, and they will jump after a while."
"Some practitioners are particularly fond of small animals. When I was pretending to be a rebel and operating in the camp, I could often see them feeding the animals, feeding them precious elixirs, and then expecting them to change."
"They also loved investigating locations and they investigated every nook and cranny of the camp."
"In addition, they particularly like dead ends. Once they see a dead end, they will say, 'This is the end of the investigation,' and then continue to look for dead ends."
Interrupting the spies, the monarch asked: "How is the food there?"
"It's delicious!" the spy blurted out. "The food there is abundant, and the magic can make crops ripen quickly. There is no shortage of fruits, vegetables, and meat every day. A chef named Wu Wei can make it every day Everyone in the army is full of praise for the large amount of food. My favorite is a large portion of meat buns after training every day. The skin is thin and the fillings are eighteen folds, and the inside is full of meat. Have another one after eating. A bowl of noodle soup, that's beautiful. Many counties don't need them to attack. People will defect every day at meal time. After being surrounded for a few days, the county government itself will run out and surrender. After all, if you don't surrender, the people below will Make him surrender."
Thinking of this, the secret agent swallowed his saliva and continued: "In addition, the materials there have also become extremely rich. New magical instruments and agricultural tools have been developed and put into use. Because agricultural tools and food management are distributed free of charge , the food standard is still four dishes and one soup, and one big meat bun every day, so wherever the rebels go, the people respond, and the army surrenders. Currently, nine cities have surrendered, and two more cities are waiting. "
The monarch's expression became worse and worse, and finally he became unsteady and fell down on his chair.
Facing the spy, he asked seriously: "Tell me, did those practitioners join the rebellion?"
"No, at least they said they didn't. But they did not participate, but... did business."
"Doing business..."
Thinking of the list given by the heretic, the king finally realized it.
Covering his mouth, he couldn't help laughing wildly.
Doing business...
Just doing business…
But just doing a business turned the rebels into a behemoth, a kingly master, a being who even made his own army unwilling to contact him and just wanted to surrender.
I thought it was just an ordinary rebellion, but I didn't expect that the situation had become so corrupt.
Recalling the list given by the heretic, now that I think about the contents, it is really cheap.
If only I could accept it at the beginning.
Looking at the guards behind him, he widened his eyes and asked, "Tell me frankly, how far are the rebels from here?"
"……have no idea."
"You are my bodyguard, why don't you know!"
"Almost none of the spies sent out come back. This one is the only one."
The monarch wanted to ask again, but he heard shouts of death coming from outside.
The cry of "blood sacrifice to the false king" was deafening, making the monarch's face become even paler.
Although it was not far away from the Fire Nation, he never expected that the rebels would reach here so quickly.
With the help of the guards, he reached the city wall and found that the city gate had collapsed. A large number of court officials opened the door to welcome the enemy, looking very flattering like slaves fawning over their new masters.
The royal city of Li Fire Kingdom was destroyed like this.
Looking into the distance, he found that the outside of the city was surrounded by rebels. The place was surrounded by large and small tents. Soldiers with solemn faces were waiting in formation, looking at the place with keen eyes.
Looking at everything in front of him, the king realized that times had changed.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized how horribly wrong he had been.
The past was before, and the present is now. Practitioners control incredible power. Even if they don't end up directly, they still have the power to influence the situation of the battle.
In an instant, the monarch seemed to have aged ten years. He sat on the ground and said dejectedly: "That's it, that's all, surrender."
When I heard that the king had surrendered, the players were still the most unhappy.
They originally thought that this branch could be played for a long time. Many players have already deduced many offensive strategies on the sandbox, just to enjoy the addiction of being a counselor of the Three Kingdoms here.
But you actually surrendered?
This feeling is as ridiculous as having practiced in seclusion for three thousand years and preparing for a decisive battle with the villain Boss, but unexpectedly the other party committed suicide.
Although it is not impossible to understand the other party's feelings, after all, Feilongqi's face is already in his face. What are you waiting for if you don't surrender at this time?
But the unpleasant feeling is still there, making these players feel unhappy when they go back.
The heretics were also a little unhappy, but the rebel leader, Old Man Cheng, had made many agreements with him and booked many major projects.
Through these projects, players can still come to work, continue to help build this place, and then build a brand new world where people and practitioners coexist.
After achieving this step, heretics feel that it is enough.
Then, it’s time for Taoist Changkong to come and accept it.
