Lu Bu had never interfered with the development of the three towns. Zhang Xue was still busy, but the search for internal affairs talents could not be delayed. Moreover, the generals were starting to struggle.
During this period of time, the prisoners in the prison were all mid to high-level generals. There had never been any third-rate or higher generals. This gave Lu Bu a headache. Back when they were still in the village, the third-rate and higher generals in Furious Bears Village included Lu Bu, Chu Feiyun, Emma, Lu Hu, Deng Kang, and Kuai Zheng and Borlun. For a village, having one was already a laughing matter.
But now, with three towns, the Yellow Turban came to find trouble almost every day. Chu Feiyun and his wife were in charge of Yi 'an Town, so they would definitely be safe. But among the remaining generals, Lu Hu and Deng Kang had decent martial strength, but their brains were not very good. They could not take on great responsibilities. Lu Bu had no choice but to match Kuai Zheng, the only one with high intelligence among the remaining third-rate generals, with Lu Hu and Deng Kang in Yongan Town. Kuai Zheng would be the town mayor, while Lu Hu and Deng Kang would be the generals.
But now, only Lu Bu and Boren were left in Furious Bears Town. Boren was an expert in battle, and his combat power had increased rapidly. Now, his combat power had reached 73. If they really fought, Lu Hu and Deng Kang, who had 75 combat power, might not be his match.
However, Furious Bears Town still had subsidiary towns, so it would be difficult for two people to defend it. Currently, the five subsidiary towns were all guarded by high-level generals, and there were a few high-level generals with Intelligence above 50. Lu Bu had prepared to nurture these people. The books that Barbaric Bull had given Lu Bu previously had been given to these five generals.
If some players knew that Lu Bu did not think it was enough to use high-level generals to defend the subsidiary towns, they might curse Lu Bu to death! It should be known that the Yellow Turban and Eastern Han NPC forces only had high-level generals guarding their towns. Now that the players could have one or two high-level generals, who wouldn't treasure them by their side? Why would they " extravagantly " use them to guard their subordinate territories?
Furious Bears Town was different from other player villages. Currently, Furious Bears Village was filled with enemies. There were at least a hundred player villages of the Yellow Turban forces around it. Of course, he was not worried about these player villages. However, apart from player villages, there were also system towns. Nanpi County was now part of the Yellow Turban forces. Within Nanpi County, there was only one county town, but there were more than sixty towns!
Normally, the garrison of a system main city or town ranged from 300 to 500 soldiers. However, if 60 or so system main cities or towns were added together, that would be a total of 20,000 soldiers! In addition, there were 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Nanpi County. With the current strength of less than 1,000 Flying Bear Town soldiers, they could be completely wiped out if they were not careful.
"Master! Master!" Just as he was deep in thought, Raging Bull suddenly barged in. Lu Bu shook his head. This kid, Raging Bull's combat power had already broken through 61, and he was the number one player in the entire world. However, his personality was still so rash, and he did not have the demeanor of a general at all.
Behind Bull was a general. Bull looked at Lu Bu happily and said,""Master, look, this is Niu Jian. He is a third-rate general that I just subdued after passing the first stage of the second round of the instance dungeon. His strength is 65.”
A muscular man followed behind Barbaric Bull.
"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at the general behind Barbaric Bull in surprise. He was a little disappointed by his burly appearance. Furious Bears Town did not lack third-rate generals. With 65 points of combat power, he was ranked last among the third-rate generals in Furious Bears Town.”
Given the current situation of Flying Bears Town, what they lacked the most was a wise general. Lu Bu was willing to nurture someone like Chu Feiyun, who was proficient in both military and political affairs, even if he was only a high-level general.
" Uh…" Bull looked at Niu Jian hesitantly and said gloomily,"“11。”
Lu Bu's eyes were filled with disappointment. With 11 points of Intelligence, even if he used a full set of books from basic to advanced, he could only reach 56 points. He couldn't even be considered a third-rate strategist.
"Send him to Lieyang Town." No matter what, he was still a third-rate general. Lieyang Town and Longhu Town were currently the weakest places in terms of defense. It was not bad to have a third-rate general in charge.
"Yes, Master!" Bull nodded and left with Niu Jian.
"Dungeon?" Watching Bull leave, Lu Bu remembered that Lu Hu and Kuai Zheng had been subdued by him in the dungeon. At that time, he seemed to have made it to the first stage of the Second Loop. At that time, his strength was not enough, so he withdrew.
Now, his strength had already reached the peak of a second-rate general. According to the calculation method of the instance dungeon, he should be a second-rate general next, right? Currently, Furious Bears Town was facing a crisis of a shortage of talents. Adding a second-rate general seemed to be a good choice.
Since there was nothing much to do in Furious Bears Town, Lu Bu immediately set off. He had already been to the instance dungeon once, and he still remembered the route. He didn't bring anyone else and just ran towards the direction of the instance dungeon alone.
Unlike the last time, most of the players were around 30 to 40 years old. They could already challenge Intermediate Generals. The dungeon only allowed one person to enter at a time. There were many players gathered in front of the dungeon, waiting to enter.
Looking at the dense crowd of players, Lu Bu frowned slightly. He rode his horse straight to the front, and his unicorn violently squeezed a path through the players.
"Sigh! Who are you? Don't you know the rules? First come, first served, don't you know?”Lu Bu's actions immediately caused public outrage. A player who had been knocked away by a unicorn said unhappily. Many players echoed and condemned Lu Bu.
"Hmm?" Lu Bu's sharp gaze landed on the player's face. The player felt his breathing become difficult and his body stiffened. He wanted to pull Lu Bu down, but his legs did not listen to him. He stood there, his eyes looking at Lu Bu in fear. He did not dare to look at Lu Bu in the eye, and his imposing aura disappeared without a trace.
"Humph!" Lu Bu snorted coldly and ignored this player. He hung his Heavenly Halberd on his horse and continued to move forward. The surrounding players were forced by Lu Bu's aura and subconsciously made way for him, allowing him to pass through without any obstruction.
"System Notification: Since you have already cleared the dungeon once, you will directly enter the second stage of the second round of this dungeon. Do you wish to continue?”Coincidentally, just as Lu Bu arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, the player who had just cleared the dungeon came out with an excited expression. Behind him was an Intermediate General. Lu Bu didn't even look at him as he walked in. However, he received a system notification.
"Yes, sir!" Lu Bu nodded indifferently.
Lu Bu felt dizzy for a moment, and in the next moment, he appeared in a hall. At the same time, information about this Space Guardian General appeared in his mind. Li Zhi, a second-rate general, 81 in strength, 72 in commander, 43 in intelligence, and 22 in internal affairs. He was considered a decent commander, and his intelligence was passable.
This was Lu Bu's evaluation of Li Zhi. 81 points in combat power was nothing to the current Lu Bu.
"Come and tell me your name!" A loud shout came from the hall. From the second round onwards, no more soldiers would appear. It would be a one-on-one battle between generals.
"Lu Fengxian!" Lu Bu looked at the general. Li Zhi was wielding a large saber and riding a nine-foot-tall warhorse, looking majestic. However, it was difficult for a general of this level to arouse Lu Bu's fighting spirit. Instead, Lu Bu was quite interested in the warhorse. It was clearly of a higher level than the high-grade warhorse he was riding.
"Watch your blade!" Li Zhi didn't say much. He shook the reins of his horse and slashed his saber at Lu Bu's head.
"Humph!" A look of disdain flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. He sat straight on his horse, not moving at all. He didn't urge his horse to move forward. When he knew that Li Zhi was charging towards him, his eyes widened. The Heavenly Halberd drew a half-arc in the air, bypassing the opponent's saber and chopping down on Li Zhi's neck!
"Puchi ~"
The man passed by, leaving his head behind. The warhorse that had lost its master circled around Li Zhi's headless head in a daze, neighing from time to time.
[System Notification: Congratulations to player Lu Fengxian. You have successfully passed the second stage of the second round of the instance dungeon and obtained a good horse. You can choose to obtain a general with a strength of 81 to pledge loyalty to you or continue to pass the stage. The relevant rewards will be distributed after the completion of the stage.]”
Hearing the system notification, Lu Bu hesitated for a moment. The third stage should be a first-rate general, right? No one knew better than Lu Bu how big the difference between a first-rate and second-rate player was. In the eyes of ordinary players, the difference between a second-rate player and a first-rate player was only a small difference of 90 to 91 points. However, this difference of 1 point was a huge gap between the Postnatal Realm and the Innate Realm! Since ancient times, how many people had been stuck at this threshold, unable to advance for the rest of their lives?
At the same time, breaking through this barrier would increase one's strength by leaps and bounds. The most trashy first-rate general would definitely be able to take on ten of the most capable second-rate generals. Thus, Lu Bu was somewhat hesitant.
"System prompt: Please make your choice within one minute. Otherwise, the system will automatically determine that you have given up on the challenge.”
One minute was neither too long nor too short. Ignoring the system notification, Lu Bu frowned. In terms of combat awareness and control over his body, Lu Bu had gone through a process of growing from nothing, from weak to strong. There was no doubt that he had improved a lot. In addition to the lightning characteristic, the deterrence characteristic, two advanced killing techniques, and one beginner killing technique, in terms of strength, even a peak second-rate general might not be his match. He was already infinitely close to first-rate. But Lu Bu wasn't sure if he could defeat a first-rate general.
"System Notification: You still have ten seconds. Please make your choice quickly!”
"Continue clearing the levels!" In the end, Lu Bu made his choice. How could he truly improve if he always competed with people who were weaker than him? Only by competing with experts who were evenly matched or even stronger than oneself could one truly break through and increase one's strength.
The scene in front of him changed. When he reappeared, he was in an empty field. Opposite him stood…a female general!
[Hu San Niang: Peak Second-rate General, Martial Force 90, Commander 69, Intelligence 80, Internal Affairs 73. Able to surrender after defeat.]
The stats were not bad, but he was not a first-rate general like Lu Bu had imagined. He was a peak second-rate general. There was a difference between a general and an ordinary general. The most basic ones were the special characteristics, killing techniques, general techniques, and strategist techniques. In addition, a general had to go through countless battles to become a general. Moreover, a general only appeared from the third-rate. For example, He Man, although her strength was not that great, her special characteristic that could calm the morale of the army could definitely turn the tide of a war.
A famous general of the same level of strength was definitely more useful than three ordinary generals. In fact, they could even decide the outcome of a battle on the battlefield!
