What happened in Wu County.
Ying Mu didn't know.
Or rather, he wouldn't care even if he knew.
Because Ying Mu was already stunned by the current situation.
Congratulations, host. You have met the requirements to advance to Lord level. Do you wish to advance?
The sudden sound of the system notification almost caused Ying Mu, who was in a meditative state, to go berserk. He thought that he had a heart demon or that he was hallucinating.
He went back and forth to confirm it several times.
He finally confirmed that he was not hallucinating or hearing things. His territory had really expanded.
From the original " circle of 24.2 kilometers ", it had unknowingly expanded to " circle of 102.2 kilometers "!
————
Strongest Lord Construction System!
[Lord: Ying Mu]
[Lord Level: Level 1 (Upgradeable)]
[Territory Area: 102.2 km]
[Territory population: 23,600]
[Popular sentiment: 32 points]
————
"Meow, meow, meow!"
"What's going on?"
Ying Mu looked at the information of the lord in his mind and felt that it was really baffling.
He still couldn't figure out how his territory had suddenly expanded so much that it had reached the level of a 2nd rank lord.
The strangest thing was that he found that the area of his territory was still increasing.
From the initial " circle of 102.2 kilometers ", it slowly increased to " circle of 102.3 kilometers ". After an hour, it finally stopped at " circle of 125.6 kilometers ".
Facing such a strange thing, Ying Mu was at a loss.
He looked at the System Map and suddenly saw a long and narrow territory. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Could it be that Li Xin's army took down a tribe in South Yue?”
"But it shouldn't be!"
"If that's the case, why didn't the territory increase when Li Xin's army moved out?”
A trace of suspicion flashed through Ying Mu's heart.
It was no wonder that he thought so.
This was because this long and narrow territory coincided with the route of Li Xin's army.
Therefore, he could conclude that the sudden increase in territory area was definitely related to Li Xin's army.
But what was the relationship between them?
Ying Mu couldn't figure it out yet.
However, this was not a problem for him.
After all, there was already a system map notification. All that was left was to figure out the rules of the system's occupation of the territory.
First of all, it was certain that the sudden increase in territory was related to Li Xin's army.
Or rather, it was related to the route of Li Xin's army.
With this prerequisite.
The rest was easy to guess.
Either Li Xin's army had wiped out a tribe in South Yue.
Therefore, the system had tacitly classified this area as Ying Mu's territory.
Otherwise, Ying Mu did something today that caused the territory to increase.
He only thought about what he had done today.
Ying Mu silently changed this to what the people of the Prince Yue Manor had done.
After all, he had been doing his routine for the entire day. He ate, slept, practiced martial arts, and cultivated.
He didn't make any arrangements related to the increase in territory.
He also considered that the increase in the area of his territory was completely based on the route of Li Xin's army, and did not light up the map of other areas.
Ying Mu had no choice but to delete the reason that the territory was expanded because Li Xin's army had wiped out a South Yue tribe.
In this case, there was only one truth.
This matter had something to do with the matter of the Yue King Manor sending people to escort the supplies to Li Xin's camp.
"In other words, as long as the territory residents or territory guards pass by, they can be classified as the territory of the lord?”
"No, it shouldn't be that simple.”
"To be precise, it should be within the territory of the residents. If there are no other forces present, the system will turn this area into the territory of the Lord!”
Thinking up to this point, Ying Mu seemed to have understood the system's rules regarding territory occupation.
This was just like some of the countries in Ying Mu's previous life, where the land was vast and the population was sparse.
The reason why they were able to claim large areas of land as their own was because no one had claimed those territories.
If no one claimed it, there would be no dispute.
Since there was no dispute, then whoever discovered it would be the one who owned it.
Obviously!
This rule was also applicable to the strongest overlord construction system in Ying Mu's body.
"I see!"
Ying Muxiang understood this point. He couldn't help but pat his own head, feeling that he had truly become a fool.
To think that he thought that if he wanted to increase the territory's area, he could only slowly occupy it.
However, he had forgotten the most important point.
Other than conquering, there was another way to obtain ownership of the territory.
That was, as long as all the resistance forces within the territory were eliminated, the vast majority of the people in the territory would acknowledge it.
Compared to the previous method of occupation.
The latter method of eliminating the resistance from the body was more suitable for South Yue.
As Ying Mu thought of this, a rough plan instantly appeared in his mind.
It was a way to quickly obtain ownership of South Yue.
He could send out residents or soldiers to explore the entire Yue Land, and then use the system map to find out the location of all the tribes.
In the end, he directly let Li Xin bring 50,000 soldiers to pay a friendly visit.
Submit or die.
As long as he lived and was recognized by all the tribes in Yue, he would naturally become the King of South Yue, and the entire South Yue would be included in his territory.
As for why they had to send their own residents or soldiers instead of Li Xin's 50,000 troops to complete this task?
This was easy to explain.
This was because the 50,000 soldiers led by Li Xin didn't belong to Ying Mu and couldn't be counted as his territory's population or soldiers.
At most, they could only be considered soldiers that Ying Mu had borrowed from Great Qin.
Whether it was in name or in substance, it did not belong to him.
This was also the reason why Ying Mu's territory had not increased after Li Xin's army had marched for so long.
Similarly.
If not for that, his territory would not have only 20,000 people and 32 popular support points.
Alright then.
After saying this, Ying Mu couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Because of the rumors spread by the landowners of Yan County, the popularity of the residents of his territory had dropped by 3 points in just a few days.
It dropped from 35 points to 32 points.
If he hadn't accidentally learned an important piece of news and wanted to catch two big fish, he would have been able to catch them.
He had already led his troops to kill all those people in Yan County.
Damn it.
It's fine if you slander me for bullying men and women and snatching women from good families.
In the end, he even said that he wouldn't even let a man off.
This bastard, don't let this king know that it was that bastard who made up the rumors.
Otherwise, he would definitely let him know what it meant to be extremely difficult.
