From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 27 Counselor
Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, and then he understood why she changed her mind at the last minute.

He didn't know that he already possessed the strength of a ninth-rate general. In terms of martial arts alone, he was stronger than a ninth-rate general, so killing a bandit with the strength of a high-level militia was a piece of cake for him.

However, the lord could not view the NPC's panel, so Ning Mengya only knew that she was a mid-level militiaman and had no idea how strong or weak she was.

Only when facing bandits led by high-level militiamen would she choose to change her mind and compromise with the other side.

This matter needs to be made clear, otherwise Ning Mengya will still end up making things worse in future battles.

Ning Mengya finally spoke weakly: "I didn't know you were so strong, please don't leave, okay? I will build a big mansion for you, okay."

It turned out that she had already anticipated that she might leave.

Zhuge Liang was not a fussy person. He was very decisive in distinguishing right from wrong. Since it was a misunderstanding, he would not pursue the matter any further.

He pondered for a moment and said to Ning Mengya, "My Lord, from now on, I will take over the military power. You must not interfere in any future battles. Do not change your mind without authorization. This will hurt morale."

"In the future, we will have more and more soldiers. If a situation like yours happens again, we will lose a battle that was originally evenly matched due to low morale."

Ning Mengya nodded heavily: "Okay! From now on, I will hand over the military and political power to you, and I will never interfere in leading troops to fight again!"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "That's it."

"One more thing. When can we upgrade the third-level barracks? I want to try to see if I can upgrade to advanced militia."

Ning Mengya was a little embarrassed and said to Zhuge Liang: "The novice period is over. If you want to upgrade to the third-level barracks, you need a third-level village and a full second-level barracks."

"After you won this battle, our Dameng Village was upgraded to a level 10 village. It will take 50 gold coins to upgrade to a level village, and the level barracks will need soldiers to be full."

Zhuge Liang frowned. Right now there was only one militiaman, Wang Da. Even if he was included, there were only two of them. 50 in total...was too far away!

After thinking for a while, Zhuge Liang asked again: "How much money do you have now?"

Ning Mengya said: "There are only 35 silver coins and 9 copper coins left."

Zhuge Liang asked: "How many people can be recruited?"

Zhuge Liang didn't know how to recruit NPCs, only the lord knew.

Ning Mengya said: "200 copper coins can recruit one person, and the recruitment period is 5 days."

"Then recruit 17 first."

Ning Mengya nodded: "I will go recruit him right away...Oh, by the way, Zhuge Liang."

"what happened?"

Ning Mengya told Zhuge Liang everything she knew, and then said, "When the novice period is over, the wild animals and wood in the back mountain... er, will run out."

When he was a novice, Zhuge Liang did not realize this problem. The small hill in the back mountain was not too big, and Zhuge Liang was the only one hunting, so he did not think that the resources would be exhausted.

It seems that this game is forcing players to attack each other in the later stages! Only by constantly expanding the territory can you obtain more resources and more money!
"Also, bandits will attack again in a month. There will be three waves in total. Each wave will be stronger than the last. After that, other lords may attack us."

This is to push the players, allowing them to continue to develop, obtain more coins, upgrade villages, recruit NPCs, and upgrade barracks. Otherwise, even if they are not eaten by bandits in the end, they will be annexed by other players!
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "I understand. Let's recruit them as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Ning Mengya left happily and soon started the first round of NPC recruitment.

After using 34 silver coins, she now only has 30 food and 1 silver coin and 9 copper coins left.

She wanted to leave some food for the villagers to eat, so she didn't exchange the remaining food for currency.

"Ma Liu greets the lord."

"Wu Qi greets the lord."

"Ji Ba, Zheng Jiu, Xie Shi, Guo Tu, Wu Twelve... meet the lord!"

Ning Mengya was so excited that she recruited 17 NPCs in a row.

Because among these 17 NPCs, 10 are junior militiamen, 4 are laborers, 1 is a junior doctor, 1 is a junior blacksmith, and the other one is Guo Tu.

Who is Guo Tu?
Unlike other ordinary NPCs, Ning Mengya felt that this Guo Tu must be extraordinary!
After the recruitment was completed, Ning Mengya went to find Zhuge Liang first.

There are 10 militiamen, and there are still 38 people short of the full capacity of the second-level barracks... However, Zhuge Liang was not disappointed, because with these more people, the speed of obtaining resources will be faster and in greater quantities in the future.

This means that the speed of obtaining coins will be faster in the future!
Guo Tu... Well, this girl is lucky. Zhuge Liang was also a player before he traveled through time and had already studied the characters in the Three Kingdoms thoroughly.

Guo Tu was one of the counselors under Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period. Although he was ranked at the bottom among counselors, at least he was a ninth-rate counselor, which was one level higher than the primary, intermediate and senior counselors!
The future governance of Daming Village will definitely require strategists, and strategists will also be needed for marching and fighting. The roles of strategists and military generals are comparable.

Next, Zhuge Liang led Wang Dahe and ten other junior militiamen into the second-level barracks. The basic troops were only equipped with old long swords, but it was enough for the time being.

Zhuge Liang first arranged for Wang Da to lead their daily training, and then went directly to find Guo Tu.

Ning Mengya was also very busy. She first arranged for Li Er to take the remaining four laborers NPCs to farm and chop wood, and then arranged for a junior doctor NPC to go to the clinic. As for the blacksmith, he was in a difficult situation, so she could only let him follow Li Er and the others to farm and chop wood for the time being.

After everything in Dameng Village was arranged, Ning Mengya happily quit the game and opened the forum.

"Here I am! I have defeated the bandits! And successfully recruited 17 NPCs! My village has also been upgraded to a level village!"

"Yes, I recruited Guo Tu. Does anyone know who he is?"

Seeing Lemon Duck come online again, a group of players began to post messages.

"Oh my god! Boss Ya, you finally showed up! We thought you had cancelled your account and reopened it!"

"Oh my god, you actually defeated the bandits? Apart from General Xing Daorong, you are the first player to defeat the bandits, you are awesome, Mr. Ya! (broken voice)"

"Guo Tu... Damn! This is a strategist! Boss Ya is really awesome!"

"@LemonDuck, Boss Duck, how did you defeat the bandits? What is the strength of the bandits?"

"@Lemon Duck, Boss Duck, could it be that the special NPC defeated the other bandit leader?!"

There were so many comments that Ning Mengya was a little overwhelmed. There were all kinds of messy questions.

But I actually recruited a counselor?! Great!
"It was General Zhuge Liang who defeated the bandits. He is very strong!" Ning Mengya replied, which immediately caused a huge sensation!
