The End of Online Games in the Three Kingdoms

The group escorted the captives at a slow pace, but fortunately the distance was not far away, and Baiyun Village was far away in a short time.

From a distance, Li Taining led a group of Baiyun village management to welcome Shang Ji at the entrance of the village.

Seeing Shang Ji's return, Li Taining greeted him eagerly, and congratulated with a smile on his face: Congratulations brother Shang's strength has improved to a higher level, now the title of the number one player is well deserved!

Presumably Li Taining came here to greet him after hearing the system announcement.

It's just a fluke, there are so many heroes in the world, and Ji is just one step ahead, so how dare you call him the number one! Shang Ji replied humbly.

Haha, Brother Shang, don't be humble. I don't know your strength yet? You deserve to be number one!

Glancing at the long line of captives behind Shang Ji, he continued: It looks like Brother Shang has returned with a full load this trip, let's follow the old rules?

Shang Ji nodded, and replied: Of course, continue to cooperate in the same way as before, and I will still sell the extra captives to Baiyun Village.

Li Taining showed a gleam of joy when he heard the words, and said with a smile: Don't worry, Brother Shang, I will give you a reasonable price, and I won't let Brother Shang suffer!

Boss Li is serious. I can still trust your character.

Haha, I've said so much, I still invite Brother Shang to enter the village. We'll talk about the cooperation tomorrow. I've prepared some celebration banquets to celebrate Brother Shang's successful transfer to a military commander. I also invite Brother Shang to show his respect! Li Taining did. A gesture of invitation signaled Shang Ji to lead the team into the village.

Well, thank you, Boss Li, for your kindness. Shang Ji has thanked you here. It's not enough for a battle, and the blood is still there. Let's talk about the celebration banquet at another time! Shang Ji politely declined Li Taining's invitation, and today's battle has yielded a lot , Shang Ji intends to take the opportunity to digest and absorb it.

Oh, I was negligent. Brother Shang has worked hard in the battle. Let's talk about the celebration banquet another day. Brother Shang, let's go to rest. I won't bother Brother Shang anymore. Li Taining didn't care about Shang Ji's refusal, and left with a smile .

Boss Li, go slowly.

Watching Li Taining go away, Shang Ji turned his head and said to Su Huan: The old way is to train for five days, select those who perform well to join the Black Armor Army reserve, and sell the eliminated ones to Baiyun Village.

Yes! Su Huan replied bluntly, and then began to arrange the prisoners by himself without Shang Ji's instructions.

This kind of cooperation has been done several times, and both parties are familiar with it, so there is no need for Shang Ji to pay special attention to it.

Speaking of this kind of cooperation, we have to start with Shang Ji leading the Black Armor Army for the first time.

The earliest Black Armor Army had only fourteen members, namely the thirteen former Black Armor bandits and Liu Meng.

After a few days of training, Shang Ji was going to conduct an actual combat drill to test the training results. The actual combat target is the thieves in the wild.

Obviously, the training effect was remarkable. A small group of thieves with dozens of people was no match for the Black Armor Army. After a battle, they captured more than a dozen thieves in addition to killing the enemies.

Bring these captives back to Baiyun Village. After a few days of training, select some high-potential, resolute and loyal people to join the Black Armor Army reserve. After the strength is officially promoted to the third level, they will be formally recruited to join the Black Armor Army.

This is how the other six members of the Black Armor Army came.

Some people who were eliminated after the training, Shang Ji, were worried about what to do with them. After all, Shang Ji didn't have a base of his own, so he couldn't house them.

Then Li Taining came looking for him.

Li Taining had long been drooling over the waves of captives brought back by Shang Ji.

Most of these captives are above the second tier, and even the first tier captives are excellent labor force.

The development of Baiyun Village requires a lot of manpower. One of the necessary criteria for a village to be promoted to a town is to have a population of 10,000 households.

Ordinary player villages will randomly refresh the population nearby every day, but the number of people refreshed is generally not many, with an average of less than ten people per day.

In addition, these refreshed populations may not necessarily all turn to players. If the lord cannot satisfy these people, they will automatically leave, become thieves or go to other villages.

Therefore, Li Taining exerted all his strength, and the population growth of Baiyun Village has been slow.

The large number of captives brought back by Shang Ji just solved this problem, and the two sides immediately hit it off. The captives selected by Shang Ji were all sold to Baiyun Village. A first-tier thief got one gold, a second-tier thief got two gold, and the few third-tier thieves were basically paid. was left behind by Shang Ji.

Previously, Shang Ji had traded hundreds of people in total, and these powerful people were filled by Li Taining into the guard team to replace the weaker players. Those with low strength are arranged to cut trees and farm, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

Trading captives, or human trafficking, is Shang Ji's only economic income other than the war seizures, and Shang Ji is still very concerned about this.

Although more than 10,000 gold coins are a lot, they can't just sit and eat. Of course, it would be nice to have a share of income.

Back at his residence in Baiyun Village, Liu Xu begged to see him before he rested.

Li Xu was also one of the black-armored thugs before, because his command value was relatively high, a full 25 points, 10 points higher than Shang Ji, so Shang Ji ordered him to stay and train the previously captured thieves, by the way The commander of the black armor army reserve who passed the test.

Hearing that Shang Ji had returned from victory, Li Xu immediately came to see him.

My lord! Li Xu saluted.

How is the selection of prisoners? How many can enter the reserve? How is the training of the reserve? How many can meet the assessment standards??

Shang Ji couldn't wait to ask, the current number of the Black Armored Army is really too small, there are only 20 people, and they are ashamed to be called an army.

Reporting to my lord, there are currently 72 captives in intensive training. Among them, thirteen of them can be selected to enter the reserve service after observation by subordinates. These thirteen are all people who have made great progress in training, have a solid personality, and obey orders.

In addition, among the 21 reserve members who are training, four of them have reached the assessment standards, have initially mastered riding, archery, and spear skills, and have reached the third level in strength. They can officially join the Black Armor Army. There are also six The strength of the person has reached the third level, but the others do not meet the standard, so we need to continue training for the time being.

Well, allow those four people to formally join the Black Armor Army, and sell the prisoners eliminated from the training camp to Baiyun Village at the same price as before.

Shang Ji nodded in satisfaction, and the Black Armor Army has four more regular members, and the number has further expanded, which is a good thing. Shang Ji was also very pleased to see the army that he trained with his own hands growing step by step.

Without a formal military camp, it would be so miserable. There is no way to train troops in batches. They can only be selected bit by bit in this backward and inefficient way. But fortunately, ordinary players have no chance to select and train like this.

My lord, we are out of money! Li Xu hesitated, and continued to report to Shang Ji.

No money? Why are you out of money again? Didn't I just give you fifty gold? Shang Ji asked.

Seeing that Shang Ji was a little angry, Li Xu knelt down and explained: My lord, the training of more than a hundred people cost two gold a day in food, and the wear and tear on armor, bows, arrows, knives and guns is also very serious. , because the Lord requires the training to be as close to the actual combat as possible, and the treatment of some brothers after training is not a small sum of money, the average daily expenditure is nearly ten gold, what the subordinates said is true, please learn from the Lord!

Get up! I didn't say anything about you, why are you nervous! Shang Ji frowned.

Thank you, my lord! Li Xu said, wiping off his cold sweat. As time passed, Shang Ji became more and more powerful, and ordinary soldiers of the Black Armored Army became more and more in awe of Shang Ji.

The army is indeed a gold-swallowing beast. In his previous life, he served as a general in the Great Qin Dynasty. The super organization and mobilization ability of the Qin State guaranteed the logistics of the army. Shang Ji didn't need to worry about these messy things, he could just concentrate on fighting the enemy. Now I train an army by myself, and the funds go out like flowing water. If it weren't for the windfall made before, this army would not be able to support it.

However, it is impossible to give up, so we can only bite the bullet and continue to persist. We only hope that the Black Armor Army can take shape before the funds run out, and can realize the strategic concept of using war to support war.

After allocating one hundred gold to Li Xu again, Shang Ji explained: Continue training, just follow the previous standard. To speed up the training, the Black Armor Army needs to expand faster.

Yes! Li Xu replied loudly. Then his lips trembled, hesitating, as if hesitating to speak.

Huh? Anything else? Shang Ji asked upon seeing this.

My lord, Zhang You had some conflicts with us when you were not around, wounded several brothers, and spoke rudely, very arrogantly. Seeing Shang Ji's question, Li Xu immediately replied.

Zhang You is provoking again? Shang Ji asked with a slight frown.

Well, Zhang You is indeed too much. We bear in mind the Lord's teachings and endure him again and again, but he comes to our camp one after another to provoke trouble and interfere with our normal training.

Okay, I know this, I will deal with it, you just need to train well, your potential is good, you are very hopeful to be promoted to junior generals, work harder, and you will be promoted as soon as possible to regain your position!

Yes! I will redouble my training and live up to my lord's entrustment! Li Xu replied loudly with some excitement.

Well, let's go! Nodding his head, Shang Ji signaled Li Xu to back down.

My lord, I will take my leave. After saluting, Li Xu withdrew.

Zhang You! Zhang You! Thinking of this name, Shang Ji also had a headache.

This Zhang You is none other than the junior general recruited by Baiyun Village before.

Relying on Li Minghui's favor, this junior military general is quite arrogant in Baiyun Village, and he is domineering in every way on weekdays. Because Li Taining and Li Minghui are the only generals under his command, they have been patient all the time.

Unexpectedly, this Zhang You actually provoked Shang Ji. Hearing about Shang Ji's record, Zhang You has been unconvinced and tried to compete with Shang Ji.

Because of Li Taining's reason, Shang Ji kept shirking, but he couldn't push it any longer. After a competition, the game ended in a tie. Unexpectedly, he had no self-knowledge, thought that he was unlucky and that's why he didn't win, and he thought that his strength was still above that of the merchants, and he became more and more arrogant.

This time, he took advantage of Shang Ji's absence to provoke trouble and even injured several subordinates.

If it was an ordinary person, Shang Ji would have taught him how to behave, even if he didn't kill him, he would have to teach him a profound lesson. But Zhang You can't, although his strength is not very good, but he is currently one of the NPCs that Li Taining relies on most, if he kills him rashly, what will Li Taining think? The close relationship between the two parties will be broken immediately.

Although Li Taining has always been very respectful to Shang Ji, but Shang Ji knows that he can only be regarded as a dependent at present. Breaking with Li Taining is never a good idea.

It seems that I need to find a base of my own! Shang Ji thought to himself.
