County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

The Imperial Guards obeyed and left.

The next step is to wait. Once you have accurate information, you can prepare to take action.

How dare they steal my goods!

This breath,

Han Yilin couldn't stand it anymore.

As the saying goes, I was timid and hesitant in the early stages of the game, but now that I've developed, if I don't strike hard, wouldn't all my development have been for nothing?

Returning to the city lord's mansion,

to be frank,

Han Yilin hadn't even had time to get used to the newly renovated environment before it was about to change drastically again.

Open the building queue.

I glanced at the time.

almost,

With less than half an hour left, Zhatian County would be upgraded to a prefecture city, and Han Yilin said he was really looking forward to it.

"Since all the level 5 county towns are number one in the entire server, the prefecture city will definitely trigger the announcement as well. Hopefully, they will continue to give us a useful reward."

......

at the same time,

Lanyin County, hundreds of miles away,

Enveloped in a ray of light, the entire county is changing at a visible pace.

Especially the city lord's mansion,

Vermilion gates and high walls,

Flying eaves and brackets,

It looks very luxurious and grand.

now,

Looking at the upgraded City Lord's Mansion before him, Tang Yue was filled with excitement: "These past few days have been so long, finally it's a level 5 county town!"

His gaze swept over the newly transformed Lanyin County.

Tang Yue felt a surge of heroic spirit.

That feeling,

It's like admiring a work of art that you created yourself.

From that dilapidated county town to its current state, how much effort, resources, and thought has been invested in its development?

The effort put into this

Only Tang Yue himself knew.

right now,

Hard work pays off,

Three days after Zhatian County was upgraded, Lanyin County was also upgraded to a level 5 county.

"Finally, we caught up!"

After letting out a long sigh,

Tang Yue smiled contentedly. As he muttered to himself, the content of the server-wide announcement triggered by Zha Tian County a few days ago came to mind.

Along the way

The feeling of always being left behind

It's naturally not a pleasant experience.

especially,

Whenever Zha Tian County triggers a server-wide announcement, the entire chat channel and all players focus their discussions on Zha Tian County and Han Yilin.

It's always the same.

As the second-ranked county in terms of development in the region, Blue Silver County is like a supporting character. It is always ignored, and whenever it achieves something, people will immediately compare it with Explosive Sky County.

That taste,

For Tang Yue, it was like eating shit.

This was something he simply couldn't accept!

Fortunately,

We've finally caught up.

One of the biggest hurdles for a fifth-tier county town is its population.

But a county town,

There are only two ways to increase the population: recruiting refugees or conscripting soldiers.

former,

You can only recruit once a day.

The game has only been running for 48 days, so even with any bonuses, it's impossible to recruit 30,000 people.

Therefore,

There is only one explanation if the conditions are met.

Recruit soldiers!

to be honest,

It's nothing more than using grain to artificially inflate the population. If Han Yilin can do it, then I can do it too.

and,

in this aspect,

Tang Yue believed he had a greater advantage, since he, Han Yilin, was the only one in Zhatian County. Even though there were so many subordinate counties, they were just subordinate.

But he was different.

With the Sea God Alliance,

Each member is a well-developed player who can use the Sea God Alliance to continuously supply his Blue Silver County with resources, thereby supporting the army.

This advantage,

This is something that Zhatian County does not possess.

Thinking of this,

Tang Yue's mood became increasingly pleasant: "So what if you're a little more developed? It's a pity that I've already caught up with that advantage."

"Now that we are all at the fifth-level county level, even if there is a slight gap in military strength, the Sea God Alliance can make up for it."

"Han Yilin, you'd better prepare to become my stepping stone!"

With a cold laugh,

Tang Yue even opened the regional channel.

then,

He first glanced at the member list to confirm that only Blue Silver County and Exploding Sky County were level 5 counties in the entire region, and then posted a declaration in the channel.

"Lanyin County is now a level-five county."

There was no server-wide announcement.

Therefore,

Tang Yue decided to make the announcement manually.

The results were as he expected, equally astonishing. After all, at a stage where the average person lived in a third-tier county town, the development speed of a fifth-tier county town was simply overwhelming.

After this sentence appears,

moment,

This caused an uproar on the channel.

"Holy crap, Blue Silver County has also been upgraded to level five?"

"One is Zhatian County, the other is Lanyin County, these two are really making life unbearable."

"The alliance leader is awesome!"

"Sigh, the top two are like gods fighting, and we ordinary players can only tremble in the corner."

"Wow, you're developing incredibly fast! How did you manage to increase your population so much? There are just too many people to support!"

"If you can't afford to raise them, go out and rob them. Otherwise, why do you think they develop so quickly?"

"..."

As he watched the constantly updated messages, Tang Yue's smile deepened; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

He now,

He is not only the magistrate of Blue Silver County, but also the leader of the Sea God Alliance.

Personal ability is important.

prestige,

Equally important.

This is especially true for an alliance.

If Blue Silver County, as the alliance leader, is consistently left far behind Explosive Sky County, over time, the members within the alliance will inevitably develop other ideas.

right now,

Tang Yue wants to tell these players,

His Blue Silver County is now on the same starting line as Explosive Sky County.

......

Right now,

In the channel,

Many players are still discussing it enthusiastically.

"This is getting interesting. Zhatian County only recently reached level five, and Lanyin County has already caught up."

"Speaking of which, weren't the bounties issued not long ago? Why haven't the two sides gone to war yet?"

"It's bound to happen sooner or later, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Everyone is developing right now, so we should definitely avoid large-scale wars as much as possible. Otherwise, what if the snipe and the clam fight and the fisherman benefits?"

"I feel the same way. Things seem calm now, but if a spark ignites later, the two sides will start fighting."

"If a fight broke out now, who do you think would have a better chance of winning?"

"Let's stick with Zhatian County. After all, its development is ahead of the competition, and its historical foundation is not to be underestimated."

"Please, times have changed. How can an individual's ability compare to the Sea God Alliance? Besides, Blue Silver County is now Wuji County. In a one-on-one fight, it might not lose to Exploding Sky County, not to mention the Sea God Alliance."

"..."

The constant stream of discussion messages,

One message after another made Tang Yue feel increasingly pleased.

especially,

Seeing that many players already believed that Blue Silver County was in the lead made him feel even more pleased.

prior to,

Han Yilin makes server-wide announcements every time.

They all weighed on his heart like a stone.

But now,

The stone has finally been moved.

Tang Yue picked up the teacup on the table, his face full of smugness, just about to take a sip...

At this time,

An unexpected announcement.

His arm, which was holding the tea, was frozen in mid-air.

[Server-wide Announcement!]

[Congratulations to 'Zhatian County' for becoming the first faction in the entire server to be promoted to a prefecture city!]

[The name of "Zhatian County" has been changed to "Zhatian Prefecture"!]
