"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully conquered Desolate Village in Desolate Ridge and obtained the surrender of all the bandits in the village. You may choose to occupy, plunder, or destroy the village.”
When players attacked bandit strongholds, player territories, or NPC cities, they could choose between occupying, plundering, or destroying them.
Occupy was to treat it as a subsidiary territory of one's own territory, plunder was to plunder the resources stored in the other party's inventory, and destroy was to completely destroy all buildings and turn them into resources.
The difference between plundering and destroying was that after plundering, the buildings would still be intact. If it was a bandit nest, bandits could continue to spawn. If it was an NPC city or Lord, an NPC City Lord or Lord could still occupy it after the enemy left.
However, destruction was different. Once destroyed, there would be nothing left.
To put it simply, it was directly erased from the game map.
Ye Ming had come here for resources. Moreover, this village was very close to Imperial Arrival Village. After a week in the game, another bandit nest was formed. If Ran Min came again, he would have more than a hundred people.
Therefore, Ye Ming already had a plan in his heart.
"Choose Plunder!"
"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 100,000 EXP, 100 achievement points, 123 people, 158 units of food, 256 units of stone, 452 units of wood, 27 units of iron ore, and 304 gold coins.”
"Not bad!" Ye Ming smiled when he saw the results of the battle.
There were no losses in this battle, but they had obtained enough resources to upgrade the village by one level.
The sky was about to darken and the sun was about to set. He had been in the game for nearly two days, which meant that he had not eaten for almost a day in the real world.
People were made of iron and rice were made of steel. If they did not eat, they would be hungry.
He had not eaten for three meals. His body in the real world was already starving.
" Let's go. Bring the resources and go back!"
His military sack was only ten cubic meters, so he naturally could not store all the resources.
Therefore, other than the White Tiger Divine Guards led by Ran Min and him, the bandits who surrendered were naturally forced to work hard.
It took him half an hour to get there, but it took him more than an hour to go back.
When Ye Ming brought a group of people back to Imperial Arrival Village, he saw Xiao He and a group of people waiting for them from afar.
When Ye Ming walked closer, Xiao He took the lead to bow and congratulate him,""Congratulations to my lord for winning the first round!"
"Congratulations to my lord for winning the first round!"
Behind him, more than ten people followed Xiao He to congratulate him.
"Haha, good, everyone please get up!”Ye Ming quickly came to Xiao He's side and personally helped him and Sun Simiao up.
These two would be his greatest reliance in the future. Their loyalty had yet to reach 100. If they did not reach 100 percent loyalty, it would drop at any time. If they were to be displeased over a small matter and their loyalty dropped, there would be no place for them to cry.
"My lord, these are the 65 new refugees who have arrived in the past six hours. All of them have grade E aptitude, and the five grade D aptitude citizens who came with us previously have been arranged by me to be residents of our village and can cultivate their fields.”
Xiao He pointed at the people behind him and began his report. He didn't care if Ye Ming was still tired after he had just returned from clearing the bandits.
Ye Ming also knew that when Imperial Arrival Village was just established, he had handed all the work to Xiao He. The pressure on him was not ordinary.
The reason for this was not only to let Ye Ming take the test, but also to use him, the lord, to establish his prestige in front of this group of people.
This was very important because the group of bandits behind Ye Ming would also be handed over to him for arrangements. He had to show his importance.
"There are three other C grade citizens who came with the three of us. One of them was taken away by Mr. Sun to be his medicine boy. As for the remaining two, I arranged for one of them to preside over the construction of the tavern, and the other to lead the 70 citizens to reclaim the fields. As for the remaining B and A grade citizens, they are waiting for the Lord to personally arrange them!”
Xiao He's thorough arrangements made Ye Ming sigh in admiration.
As expected of one of the three heroes of the Han Dynasty. He was an expert in internal affairs and a genius of the state. In less than half a day, the affairs of the Imperial Arrival Village were arranged in an orderly manner in his hands.
Even if he had the experience of the Lord players in his previous life, he would at most reach Xiao He's level.
"Mister Xiao is indeed my arm. In the future, I'll have to trouble Mister Xiao to take care of the Emperor's Arrival Village!”Ye Ming looked at Xiao He with a smile of approval.
The necessary recognition and praise were necessary, and so was Xiao He's goal.
"My lord, now that these people have arrived, the population of Imperial Arrival Village has reached its limit. We can start to upgrade it to a medium-sized territory.”
The requirements for upgrading to a medium-sized village were: 3 basic buildings, 100 units of food, 100 units of stone, 100 units of wood, 100 units of iron ore, 100 gold coins, 100 people, 1 third-rate general, 1 third-rate civil official, 10 ordinary soldiers, and 100 reserve soldiers.
The population, resources, and buildings were already sufficient.
As for the 100 reserve soldiers, Ye Ming directly selected 98 from the bandits he brought back, and the two B and A aptitude people who came with Xiao He and the other two changed their classes to reserve soldiers.
