Half a month passed quietly. After the bandit camp was upgraded, Ying Jiu's merits simply broke through 2,500 and became a second-class baron, and slowly approached the first-class baron 5,000.

However, Xianyang Town cannot be upgraded to a second-level town because of a shortage of population. Currently, the population of Xianyang Town is only 9,637, less than 10,000; the cultural index is only 97, so we still need to wait a moment.

At the same time, with the deepening of exploration of southern Qiongzhou, Ying Jiu used a silver-level village construction order to open up the second affiliated territory "Qianmo Village". Its attributes have a good improvement in grain planting and are the best choice for the future Daqin grain base.

At present, Qianmo Village has just been upgraded to a second-level village, while Shuijun Village has become a third-level village. All conditions are complete, but it cannot be upgraded to a town due to the level of Xianyang Town. The level of the affiliated territory must be one level lower than the main territory. Therefore, after Xianyang becomes a second-level town, Shuijun Village can be upgraded to a first-level town.

In addition, with the superposition of populations of the three territories, the entire force currently has 4,700 troops.

Among them, there are 300 garrison troops in Xianyang, responsible for the daily public security of Xianyang. Among them, only 20 junior martial artists have the sixth level of strength, while the rest are B-level talents. Currently, they are only fifth-level soldiers and have low strength.

People with lower qualifications (young and middle-aged people) want to join the army, but the same method is still the same. After practicing in the martial arts hall and breaking through to the junior martial arts, they can be included in the army. Among the 20 soldiers who transferred from junior martial arts, 3 have C-level qualifications and 1 has D-level qualifications.

The Black Cavalry expanded to 400, counted as a village, and was commanded by Kong Wei to go to the south to find traces of mountain barbarians.

Two thousand fierce soldiers stationed in Xianyang, and two songs were set up, commanded by Hu Quan and Wu He respectively, trained troops and cleared wild animals and bandits. They merged in wartime, with Wu He as the chief general and Hu Quan as the deputy general.

There were 1,000 naval troops, one song, one divided into two, and were trained in Xianyang and Shuijun Village, with Hong Tao as the military waiter.

Five hundred brave soldiers were stationed in Qianmo Village, and five hundred brave soldiers were responsible for the land defense of Shuijun Village.

Let’s talk about the generals, among the “Two Tigers and Three Mastiffs”, Wu He has been upgraded rapidly and has become a special general; Hu Quan becomes a senior general, and the three mastiffs are still a short distance away from the senior general.

Hong Tao has just broken through to an intermediate general. In addition, eight new primary generals have been added, each with their own duties; 830 soldiers who have participated in the Battle of Shihao Town are about to break through to the seventh level.

Ying Jiu put down his last memorial "Jiang Jun's plan to worship the Yellow Emperor Temple in three days", Ying Jiu stretched and said, "It's finally done."

Putting the pen into the pen holder, Ying Jiu got up and prepared to go out.

I walked out and happened to meet Hongqing to come to find him.

Hongqing waited respectfully and said, "Lord."

Ying Jiu said, "It's Hongqing, I'm just here to accompany me to stroll around. If you have any questions, let's talk while walking."

Hongqing handed Ying Jiu a piece of paper-thin thing and said, "Lord, this thing can keep you from disturbing when you go out."

"Oh? What's it? Let's take a look."

Ying Jiu took it, "Intermediate Cicada Wing Mask: as thin as a cicada wing, wearing it on the face can have the effect of intermediate disguise. Those who are not proficient in intermediate disguise cannot see through it."

Ying Jiu's eyes lit up, "Good baby, who made this thing?"

Hongqing said: "This is made by an old craftsman with twenty years of experience in making masks. He can make such an intermediate mask at the best."

This cicada wing mask can play the role of disguise and has extremely high strategic value, especially for performing special tasks, which is of great help.

But the junior and intermediate level is too low, and the advanced level is barely enough. After all, there are a lot of people who are proficient in the early and intermediate disguise techniques in the world.

Ying Jiu asked: "Is it possible for him to create a mask that is above level?"

Hongqing shook his head and said, "The father-in-law's qualification is a bit low. He only has a D-level qualification, and he only has a 20% success rate in making intermediate masks."

Ying Jiu asked, "Then do he have any plans to accept an apprentice?"

Hongqing replied: "He has agreed to join the Tiangong Department."

Ying Jiu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, OK, OK."

Tiangong Department is an official institution in Xianyang. Those who can join Tiangong Department are all kinds of talents with a skill. Joining them means that they receive Xianyang's allowances to serve the forces and are willing to teach their skills.

After disguising himself as a cicada wing mask, Ying Jiu and Hongqing walked onto the street, and no one recognized them.

When they arrived at two patrol garrison soldiers, they found that they were disguised as if they were a little disguised and prepared to go forward to interrogate. But immediately, a guard in plain clothes quickly stepped forward, took out the token unique to the lord, and explained the situation to them.

The two garrison soldiers looked hot and bowed slightly to Ying Jiu invisibly, and then continued their patrol mission.

……………………

Soon, the two walked out of the lively Heilong Street and came to the pure Qingluan Street. This Qingluan Street is a new block planned and built according to the city scale. It is a block that has not yet been opened, so there are no pedestrians on the street.

There was no one around, Hongqing said, "Lord, the Black Ice Platform has been built."

Hongqing continued: "The people responsible for the construction of the core area have been carefully selected and have met the standards of force, and their loyalty to the lord is guaranteed. As long as the lord is present, they can be transferred to the Black Dragon Envoy or the Black Tiger Army."

Ying Jiu said affirmatively: "Well done, Hongqing."

The Black Ice Platform is the most important force under Ying Jiu. No one can know the secrets it contains except the people inside the Black Ice Platform and its owner. Even Hongqing only knew that there was such a thing, but he never went in.

The construction of the core of the Black Ice Platform must be completed by one's own people, which is a matter of principle. Otherwise, if ordinary construction workers are used, after the Black Ice Platform is built, whether Ying Jiu is willing or not, they must be removed.

This principle is the same as the construction of the imperial tomb. In order to prevent the imperial tomb from being stolen, the core architects responsible for the construction of the imperial tomb will eventually be left in the imperial tomb forever, so there are those smart architects who will secretly build a secret passage to escape when building the imperial tomb.

Suddenly, the announcement sounded.

"World Announcement: Ding, congratulations to the players in China, Dragon Soul, the master of the Chinese power, the third one to upgrade his territory to a first-level town, rewarding 1,000 reputation, rewarding bronze-level set drawings, rewarding one A-level talent, and awarding the title of Civilized Third Town."

“…”

“…”

After three times, the announcement rang out. Ying Jiu and Hongqing looked at each other. The second town in Huaxia District appeared, and the troubled times became closer.

Just yesterday, Meilian Village was successfully upgraded to the "second town of civilization". After Ying Jiu, there were a total of ten major forces, but there were only nine places to receive rewards, and the earlier the reward, the better. So they all worked hard and wanted to upgrade first.

As expected, shortly after Longhun Town appeared, the "Fourth Civilized Town" and the "Ninth Civilized Town" appeared one after another.

In the neon Shenguo Village, a group of "big guys" gathered together excitedly and looked at the building in front of them. Just wait for another minute, the last building can be built and they can be upgraded.

Watching excitedly, starting to count down: 5, 4, 3, 2...

"World Announcement: Ding, congratulations to Australian players, Colin, the Lord of Power X, successfully promoted his territory to a first-level town..."
Chapter completed!
