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

The sudden announcement

The entire channel fell silent for several seconds.

It's just like,

Time seemed to have frozen.

The channel was completely silent for a long while before a lone question mark finally appeared.

"?"

Once it started,

Then,

More and more questions are emerging.

"???"

"Not the younger brother???"

"Was I just seeing things?!"

"Holy crap, what kind of leveling speed is this? It only took Exploding Heaven County five levels in such a short time, and it's already leveled up again?"

"So, just as Blue Silver County caught up, they changed tracks entirely? They went from a county town to a prefecture-level city?"

Tang Yue: I've caught up with you. Han Yilin: Excuse me, I'll be going now.

"No way, doesn't anyone of you pay attention to the important point? A red-quality recruitment order, doesn't that guarantee a top-tier general?"

"Heh, heh heh, it turns out people really do laugh when they're speechless. This guy was already ahead in development, and now he gets a red recruitment order? Is this even fair?!"

"..."

Lanyin County.

In the main hall of the city lord's mansion,

Tang Yue, sitting in the armchair, was still in the motion of holding a teacup.

just,

His current actions,

It looked very stiff.

The smugness that had just appeared on his face first turned into astonishment, then into disbelief, and finally... his entire face began to twist with anger.

"Impossible... How could this be?!"

County town? !

How long has it been since Tianxian County was upgraded?

This is another upgrade.

middle,

Did they not stop at all?

Tang Yue's lips moved, and his voice was even a little dry.

The teacup was slammed onto the table, splashing tea everywhere and soaking his clothes, but Tang Yue didn't care.

He didn't understand.

Why can Zhatian County level up so quickly?

Thinking of this,

He opened the upgrade interface of the city lord's mansion and looked at the requirements for further upgrades. The number of counties was fine, but when he saw that he needed to have 100,000 people within his territory, his face turned as black as charcoal.

"Grass!"

A roar,

It blew open directly from the city lord's mansion.

Tang Yue grabbed the edge of the table.

The veins on the back of his hand bulged out.

population,

It's still about population, and the population of the entire territory at that. You need to have 100,000 people to upgrade.

The issue is,

After this period of expansion,

The number of counties he ruled seemed large, but the population was actually not large. In particular, on several occasions, in order to boost the morale of his soldiers, Tang Yue issued orders to massacre the entire city.

This leads to,

After many county towns were captured,

The people in the city were massacred, leaving him with only an empty county town.

right now,

The total population of all county towns

There are only a little over 80,000 people.

A difference of more than 10,000

Looking at the numbers,

Tang Yue's chest heaved violently, and he felt a surge of evil fire rising up his chest.

The key is,

What he found hardest to accept was

It's not even about the difference of just over 10,000 people, but rather... the reality check came too quickly.

Just now,

He then announced on the regional channel that Lanyin County had been promoted to a fifth-level county.

At that time,

He even thought to himself,

With the continuous influx of resources from the entire Sea God Alliance, the advantages that Zhatian County had accumulated before will soon be completely wiped out.

At that very moment,

He, Tang Yue, the leader of the Sea God Alliance, is still the focus of discussion among players in the channel.

however,

Only a few minutes have passed.

Han Yilin's server-wide announcement felt like a slap in the face.

"Grass!!!"

Tang Yue, unable to contain his anger,

He suddenly kicked over the table in front of him.

Whoosh!

The items on the table,

It was smashed all over the ground.

Tang Yue gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment: "Zha Tian County, it's Zha Tian County again, why... why did you have to upgrade it at this time?"

"Han Yilin, I'm on the 8 AM shift!"

"So you're determined to outdo me, aren't you? Fine, fine, if you can get promoted, then my Blue Silver County can get promoted too!"

"Recruit! Keep recruiting militia for me! I need to upgrade!!!"

Filled with anger,

This has completely driven Tang Yue to lose his mind.

He didn't even consider how Blue Silver County would support these recruited soldiers with its resources.

even,

He actually knew all of this.

But right now, all he wants to do is upgrade the city lord's mansion.

As for the consequences... let all members of the Sea God Alliance bear them!

...

...

Zha Tianjun.

Regarding what just happened in the chat channel

Han Yilin was unaware of this.

Just now, he

I didn't pay any attention to what was going on inside, and after the announcement came out, I didn't have time to deal with it.

now,

Right in front of us,

The entire city was bathed in light.

The already quite tall city walls were extended outwards again, expanding the city area by a circle.

The city gates are now wider.

The city walls also became increasingly thick and majestic.

Inside the city,

The area that has already been expanded,

Extending outwards once again, large tracts of open land have been created, clearly in preparation for the construction of more buildings and the accommodation of more people.

of course,

The biggest change

It was naturally still the City Lord's Mansion.

The original mansion was expanded again, with the front yard, council hall, side halls, and back yard all being enlarged.

The vermilion high walls,

Layer upon layer of eaves,

In addition, there are wide stone steps and a plaza directly in front of it.

Looking around,

This doesn't look like the residence of a prefect in a county town at all; it would be no exaggeration to call it a royal residence.

Simultaneously,

Han Yilin also noticed that

In the territory panel,

The name of Zhatian County has changed from "county" to "prefecture".

Even other attributes have changed from a single county town to the entire county town within the notification scope.

even,

In the settings options of the territory panel,

Han Yilin discovered that he could arbitrarily allocate the resources of the county.

to be honest,

It means that the counties under the jurisdiction of Zhatian County can be designated, and if other counties are established in the future, the more distant counties can be assigned to those counties.
